I think this is a hilarious campaign and it’s cool that they follow up with retro styled looking advertisements.

I swam in Halong Bay, Vietnam. [Video]
Halong Bay is located in Vietnam. Halong Bay is made up of about 2000 small islands scattered around as seen from the picture above. Before we get on to the video where I swam in Halong Bay, let me show you around first.
The pier where we get on a small boat to our Junk Ship.
This is the ship where me and my friends stayed for 1 night.
You’ll see islands and islands for the entire journey at Halong Bay.
Chilling on the Junk Ship drinking Vietnamese coffee is second to none.
We visited the floating villages. There are several floating village where villagers spend their life from cradle to grave here.
There is a beautiful cave for you to visit too.
Now to the video where I swam in Halong Bay
I’ve always wondered what does it feel to jump off from a high ground into the sea just like in the movies. After experiencing it, I want to tell you that it’s just amazing. Yes, I did feel the fear for a split second when I jumped off the ledge. Your guts are being pushed upwards towards your throat and you feel like your heart is gonna leave you. But as soon as you stabilizes the thrills kick in. I jumped several times after and the fear remained but the thrill adds on.
“Visit Halong Bay if you’re in Vietnam, else you’ve not been to Vietnam.”
10 naked girls, which would you go for? [SFW]
What do I look most for in women? It’s definitely not the physical looks. I admit I greatly admire beauty because of the artist in me but I’ll never use that fundamental in looking for a lover/partner. Because you and I know that you may be the most beautiful girl in the world at this point now but 40 years down the line, you’re gonna look just like any other old granny. Your skin is gonna wrinkle and your boobs will sag cause you can’t fight gravity.
The utmost priority for me in looking for a girl is communication. I regard communication highly because that’s the highest level to turn someone on. Think about it, just by talking you’ll get turned on. I’m sure some of you have met people who is so intellectually stimulating you just can’t wait to taste them.
You can line them 10 naked girls in front of me. All equally gorgeous and godly shaped. But who will I choose? Who will you choose? I would choose the one who can communicate with me and turn me on. Have you not met gorgeous people who totally turns you off the moment they try to speak with you?
You want someone who can connect with you, understands you, stimulate your brain and turns you on mentally for the rest of your life. Anything else is futile.

Me, the baby magnet.
The Koala Hold – a position most babies love
I have this certain charm with babies where I’m like a baby magnet. (previous post) I noticed this when I was still a teenager. During big family gatherings, it’s surprising that most babies who resist my other aunts did not treat me the same way. They are fine with me carrying them.
Below is a video of me and adorable baby Sierra.
If you didn’t know already, I love babies. In fact I love babies so much I wouldn’t mind getting one for myself but without the wife. (at this point of my life)
In life, you’ll always end up on the losing end if you cheat.
This is a funny story about me cheating roughly 20 years ago.
The Class
I had English tuition classes in the afternoon throughout most of my primary school years. It was at EM tuition center located at Mosjaya of Miri. It was a new tuition center where most of the mothers considered it to be the best. During that time, a young dedicated, honest looking teacher name Mr. Sim was teaching me. I remember my mum would tell me that he’s such a nice guy that whoever marries him will have no worries for the rest of her life.
This English class Mr. Sim conducted was fun and dynamic. He would throw in an exam every month just to make sure we’re keeping up. I was pretty poor with my grammar at that time and I would always get a sounding from my mum for making stupid obvious mistakes like not putting ‘ing’ on an adjective that describes continuity in action.
The Cheat
As I recalled clearly it was a Thursday afternoon. The whole class have got our exam papers back. Mr. Sim wrote all the answers on the board for us to learn the mistakes we’ve made during the exam. I scored 78 and was really disappointed in myself because I would like to get an A for my mother. Secretly, when no one was watching, I changed one of my answers to the one on the board so that I could get that extra 2 points to put me up in the A group. Without thinking or analyzing I went ahead and rub off the answer carefully and nervously.
The question:
Yesterday, I went to the store to _________ some groceries.
What I wrote:
Yesterday, I went to the store to buy some groceries.
What I changed to:
Yesterday, I went to the store to bought some groceries.
By now, I summoned my courage to walk up towards Mr. Sim in hope that he will not notice that I’ve changed the answer. I passed him my paper and told him that he has got a marking error and I deserved more points. He took my paper with a slight disbelief in his facial expression and carefully read the sentence. He looked at the board and cross checked at my paper again. I was nervous but in my heart I was confident I’ll get that extra points.
The Reality
He stood up and went to the white board to change the grammar and announced to the class saying that he made a mistake and whoever wrote the real correct answer should see him immediately to redeem their points. I was so shocked that I felt numbed. The other kids are all swarming in front of him to get their extra points while I took my paper back and sat in my seat quietly dumbfounded.
The Lesson
I did thought to myself that if I tell the truth I might get that extra points. But I didn’t, I shall take this paper home and show it to my mother and let it be a lesson for the rest of my life that if you cheat, you’ll end up losing more in life.
Had a taste of fire eating.
When I was younger, seeing performers eating fire at carnivals, circus or street side always marvels me.
Today I have the chance to try it out and killed the curiosity.
Real men switch on airplane mode for a proper date.
The Inevitable
With the growing adaption of smart phones in the generations to come. It’s inevitable that we will all meet people with horrible smart phone etiquette.
My Bad
I have to admit that my iPhone did get me into trouble when I was dating one of my ex-girlfriend. She’s always saying that I gave all my attention to my phone instead of her. Well, you can’t blame me cause I’ve just bought it. There is a break-in period. Excuses aside, it’s still my bad.
The Situation
I think it’s very important for the generation to come to understand smart phone etiquette. Many times, I’ve seen couples sitting in cafes hanging out with their smart phones instead of each other. Why bother coming out in the first place? If this is how you both interact with each other in public, most likely it’s pretty much the same when you’re both at home. Have you both exhausted all the topics or conversations under the sun?
Let’s take a look at some horrible smart phone etiquette.
- Leaving the phone on the table and get distracted with every blink or vibrate.
- Taking pictures. This includes of food, each other with food, each other eating food.
- Checking & tagging into multiple social networks.
- Blog, micro-blog about the situation.
- Replying countless text message.
- Laughing to self after receiving something funny and not appropriate to share.
- Pressing the home button now and then just to make sure you don’t miss any notifications
The only time it would deem appropriate to whip out your smart phone is when you’re expecting an urgent call or you have something you would like to share/show your date.
Let’s not give in to the horrible side of smart phones. Humans has come through a great deal of wisdom to have created such a wonderful device but don’t let humankind fall on the device we’ve created.
The Challenge
So here’s my challenge to you. Turn on airplane mode the next time you’re out on a date. Be a gentleman and make it a proper date.
But here’s a free tip for the ladies.
“You know that a guy is extremely interested in you when he doesn’t whip out his smart phone every other minute.”

Thanks to Eve, we now have fashion!
My artistic side has brought me to love fashion. I was day dreaming away about the origins of fashion and this story came into my mind.
The Fashion Story
Long ago, God created Adam. From Adam’s rib God created him a companion name Eve.
In this garden of Eden, there’s a tree which bears the forbidden fruit. Now God has specifically warned Adam & Eve about not eating the fruit from this special tree.
But there was a cunning serpent who deceived Eve and made her take one of the forbidden fruit. Eve was a nice lady, of course she did not forget to give Adam one too! After eating the forbidden fruit they realized that they were naked. Feeling ashamed when they heard God was near they decided to cover up their body with fig leaves. Later God clothed them with animal skins.
The Result
Fashion wouldn’t exist if Eve was not deceived. Major fashion labels should be mindful of Eve’s wrong doing for today we have fashion! Else we all still be naked… oh wait… or we don’t need fashion at all in the first place.
“I pity the first animals that are slaughtered for Adam & Eve’s cloth.”

Don’t watch it! Immortals 2011
Marketing Perception
Every poster they created includes the tag line ‘From the producers of 300’. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not comparing this movie with 300. Not one bit. But they’ve created the perception that, if it’s produced by the same people behind 300, it should be as good as 300. Now this is where they get everyone pumped up for some ‘This is Sparta’ awesomeness only to find out at the end of the movie, it’s all a lie. The movie did make a good opening weekend scoring #1 on the charts. My say is that, it’s 11.11.11 and everyone has got nothing else better to do or celebrate except to watch this movie. Good call on the marketing team!
The Film
So please folks. Let’s give this movie a fair review. The action scenes are awesome, after all we are all attracted to the movie because of the trailer right? But the way the story unfolds couldn’t be cheesier or cornier. Dialogues are borderline and acting is just as good as it gets. The inconsistencies with Greek mythology kills your senses and imagination. Some scenes will just make your jaw drop at the wondrous stupidity it portrait. If you’re into hack and slash gore, then fans will enjoy while it last. Still I think Conan The Barbarian 2011 packs more gore.
For $75million worth of production. I say it’s a poor movie.
For Malaysia Only
If you’re in Malaysia and you plan to watch this in the cinema, please refrain yourself. The further brainless censorship board will make you regret every penny you spent on this movie. Most of the gore and sexy scenes are gone. What’s worst, repeating scenes or slowing down parts of the movie is just plain dumb. I hate to say this but most probably a pirated DVD/Blu-ray copy would be better if you still plan to watch this movie.
Official trailer that practically includes all the best scenes.
