5 Questions From Laksa

I asked Laksa to interview me in this little 5 Questions meme not long ago and here is the excerpts of the interview..


1. How did you and Terese first met and subsequently fell in love with each other?
I was pissed drunk when I met Terese in a bar, one thing led to another and the rest as they say is history.

No that was a lie, actually I first met her when I was working in a junkyard when she came with Quigon Jinn looking for a hyperdrive core for their ship. 10 years later we were to meet again and this time I have grown and we fell in love and got married secretly. (Any resemblance to any particular movies is purely coincidental)

2. Why did you choose to move Down Under instead of remaining in Sibu?
I was on my way to the South Pole when I made a stop at a pub in Melbourne and got stuck here eversince. (Refer 1st question) I'm still on transit to the South Pole...

3. If you could choose any celebrity in Hollywood to go out with, who would it be and why?
Celebrities are the biggest pain in the ass to go out with so I would choose Marilyn Monroe coz she's already dead so I don't have to worry about taking her out. Make sense?

4. Why do you blog?
I 'eat full nothing to do' so I had to find a hobby where I don't have to spend any money on and thank goodness for the internet and blogspot! Now I've made friends with more 'eat full nothing to do' people out there!

5. What's the most embarrassing situation you've ever had to experience in your life?
When I had an enema done by a female doctor in my birthday suit, the embarrassing thing is keeping little wuching down coz the doctor was hot, hot, hot!

Here's the rules of the game;

My All Time Favourite

Its that time of the year when the leaves have died and dropped and the air is cold and wet. On my way to Federation Square on the weekend for the Italian Festival I noticed how beautiful nature can be even on days like this though I complained about it all the time!


This reminded me of one of my all time favourite songs called California Dreaming by The Mamas and The Papas. They were before my time but I like it anyway, more than some of the songs of today.

California Dreaming
~ The Mamas and The Papas

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray

You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day

If I didnt tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

(California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
(California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Downloading mp3 is illegal but you can listen to the song here.

Viva Italia!

I kept finding myself going back to the Federation Square and last weekend I did just that again. There was an event going on though I got there quite late.

Buon giorno! It was an Italian festivity of something, Italian National Day I believe it was to mark the 60th anniversary of the Italian republic.

There were tons of Italians packed infront of the main stage where Premier Steve Bracks and Lord Mayor John So were giving speeches to preside the opening ceremony.

I was hoping to catch some Italians in their traditional costumes but unfortunately these are all I could find. Nice costumes though and the kids are adorable too!

Mama Mia! A choir of Italian divas singing Italian folk songs which I had not an inkling of what they were singing about! They were quite good and the older audience loved them.

Followed by a play depicting a funny sketch which I didn't find very funny..but the crowd loved them! So what do I know? Mi scusi.

Italians love their expresso coffee. And they love drinking coffee alfresco style! You can get a nice meal of pasta and pizza while having your cup of expresso here right next to the stage.

More importantly Italians are passionate about their cars and most of the best cars of the world come from Italy like this Ferrari and Meserati! Ooh..shiny red sports car..

Oh this Alfa Romeo which is just as snazzi though I never like the Alfas, no offense but their engines make really bad noise after a few years..serious!


And who can walk past the Fiat! One of the best known Italian automobiles. I had more fun checking out these cars than watching the entertainment on stage, really! Arrivederci!

Kolo Mee

My friend's relatives came over from Kuching, Sarawak in Malaysia on the weekend and brought with them some local delicacies that I haven't tasted in many years.

Its the kolo mee! The noodle is only local in Kuching and its surrounding regions but in other parts of Sarawak they have similar dish with different name like the kampua mee in Sibu.

This kolo mee was cooked prior to freezing and packing. All I had to do was to heat it up and eat it. It came all the way from somewhere in Green Road in Kuching. I'm not familiar with the area but maybe QuaVadis, Laksa and KPGNangkaBoy can enlighten me.

This is Char Kueh Tiau also from Kuching, precooked, frozen and packed for its journey all the way down to Melbourne, Australia. How they managed to get through customs, I don't want to know!


Of course kolo mee is best served with some char siew and a side serve of clear soup which unfortunately is impossible to bring over so will just have to eat it with the local char siew.

How does it taste? Well, its day old kolo mee so you be the judge but I still enjoyed it coz it came all the way from Malaysia. Thank you Henry!

My Secret Life

Something has been bothering me eversince I can remember. Its a secret so deep and so dark that no one in the world knows about but myself. How did I keep this secret all through my life I cannot comprehend. I try to ignore it and just bury it deep within me but it always surface to haunt me day in day out.

Oh God what am I going to do?! I'm tearing up inside! This is killing me, bit by bit everyday all through my life and now it has gotten to a point where I'm just going to explode! I can't keep the secret anymore, I need to let it out. I don't care anymore. I never chose to have this and I refuse to bear the burden of keeping my secret for the rest of my life! I want to let the whole world know about the secret!

I must do this if I were to maintain my sanity. I am so very very sorry but I cannot bottle it up anymore! Please let me unburden myself of this secret. It will be a tremendous relief if I let it out! *SOBS* I'm very very sorry but I need to do this! Let me reveal my secret!

The secret that I have been carrying with me all my life is this; I live a double life. There's me in the normal world, a plain old average Joe who's struggling to get through life like everyone else and there's the secret life I live when I'm not the average Joe.

If you rather know me as how you see me now, then stop. Do not read on for the truth may be too hard for you to handle. But if you really want to know the real me, then come with me...

Laksa & KNB went to Phuket

As we can recall not so long ago Laksa and his buddy KPGNangkaBoy went to Phuket for a holiday. It was a fantastic holiday according to them and as was told by Laksa himself on his blog here.

He wrote about how interesting the people were, how beautiful the island is and how crystal clear the sea water was on the beach. He also wrote about the wonderful sceneries and how cheap the shopping was on the streets of Phuket.

They went snorkeling, visiting all the exotic places on the island and met interesting people. Ah...how nice it is to have your holidays there. I can hear the gentle waves rushing onto the beach and a soothing soft music playing in the background...*Ekk!* (music stops abruptly)

Hello! We've all been conned! What a load of bull! You want sea and sand? Got those at Damai in Kuching! Cheap shopping? Flying all the way there and back doesn't make anything cheap anymore! Now what is the real reason they were in Phuket? SEX! Yes, pure lust! And I have the proofs. I learnt this from my brader Wingz..

Here it is! Laksa posing with 2 almost naked shemales. 1 is not enough, Laksa wanted to book 2 for the night eventhough he passed out before any action ever happened! Too much alcohol, Laksa can't hold his liquor and 2 shemales somemore. Too greedy lah!

KPGNangkaBoy wasted no time either. On their arrival on Phuket he went and hantam 2 pondans also! Didn't want to lose out to Laksa. Anything you can do, I can do better...he sang.

So after that first night where Laksa passed out and missed out on his sex-o-rama he decided to go easy the second night. This time he just booked 1 transvestite only and will see how the night progresses, he can always get another one if need to later, he said.


KPGNangkaBoy on the other hand having scored with the 2 pondans the night before has made a reputation for himself amongst all the pondans on the island to be the best lover. So tonight he very act cool one. Must maintain that playboy cum stud reputation. He didn't go check out the pondans anymore, he waited for them to come to him! Still he acted cool!


And on the 3rd day we saw KPGNangkaBoy groping another tranny and gee wiz! Cooking 4 Suituapui was there also! When did she get into town?

Videoblogging Is Fun!

Oo...I've just found that videoblogging is super duber fun! Why haven't I done this more often before. I used to hate watching video clips on blogs, let's face it they are rather slow even with broadband and I had to compress them even smaller to load quicker at the expense of the quality.

It's more fun making your own video clips, anyone can copy and paste a video from elsewhere so I was having a ball when I did a trial run today digicaming myself driving around town! It was just a short trip but I see great potential in my future videoblogging. Therefore I've made this short clip below for your viewing pleasure and you can help by giving me some feedbacks on whether or not you would like to see more of this in the future.

So please leave a comment letting me know whether this is a stupid idea or a great idea. I will take all your views seriously on this matter. If you like it, I will certainly do more videoblogging in the future, I will even take requests on what you like to see or even which part of Melbourne you like to see on video! Sounds fun? Just watch the video and let me know.



Oh by the way QuaVadis, Amelia wanted me to post this video especially for you since you showed the greatest joy about her coming back today! Enjoy!

The Post About Nothing

This is a post about nothing because I don't have anything worth posting today. So I apologise in advance if you find this as interesting as watching the grass grow in your backyard.

I'm feeling sad coz the post that I was going to post didn't turn up as I had hoped for so that post is scrapped, therefore I am sad. It probably would've make a good post but you win some and you lose some so they say.

I found a packet of cookies opened and left on a different shelf the other day at the supermarket. Things like this happen quite frequently I've noticed. Its usually done by kids stealing munchies at the supermarket but sometimes I see half open pack of tampons possibly by some teenage kids who doesn't have money to buy them...this makes me even more sad. Not good.

Think happy thoughts, happy meals at McDonalds lets you buy this Hello Kitty toy for extra $2 I think. Comes with comb, clipper and scrunchy! Why do I know this? I went to McDonalds with Terese's niece the other day!

I had a spider who got trapped in between my window pane and the fly screen and it could not go anywhere. It lived for a week and then it died...I'm sad again.


Must be the weather getting me down all the time. How can I cheer up with weather like this everyday? Today's not my day...sorry you have to be dragged into it.

The United Colours Of Multiculturism

Woah! Seems like Buddha's Birthday Party isn't over yet! I found out that despite the celebration of Buddha's birthday yesterday, the celebration continues into today!

But today being Sunday drew in more crowd than yesterday and there were more participants and volunteers. There were dragon dance and lions dance to kick start today's ceremony infront of volunteers dressed in different costumes representing the diverse cultures from Asia.

I found out today that this ceremony was organised by the Buddha's Light International Association of Victoria or BLIA in short. BLIA has branches worldwide and its membership is made up of lay Buddist followers. I thought there's only 1 type of Buddhist?

Like yesterday the abbot of the monks led the ceremony but today it was on a larger scale with a long entourage filled with VIPs and dignitaries like Lord Mayor John So who seems to spend all his Sundays here!

After the usual buddist chants and prayers, the BLIA participants made their offerings to the Buddha like flowers, incense, light and fruits. These are the 4 merits of offerings which I shall briefly explains alongside the pictures below.

Flower offering; flowers are beautiful and fragrant, yet their splendor will not last forever. Thus they illustrate the impermanence of all beings. Aren't those lovely ladies look like flowers to you!

Incense offering; aromatic incense purifies the atmosphere as well as the mind. Just as its fragrance travels afar, so do good deeds axtend for the benefit of all.

Aww..perfect smile! Light offering; Light extinguishes darkness in the same way that wisdom dispels ignorance. Bit like the light side of the Force overcoming the dark side as told by George Lucas!

Fruit offering; fruit is nutritious as well as pleasing to the taste. It also represents the result of our spiritual cultivation and helps us be mindful of the law of cause and effect. Well there you have it. I've learned some spiritual lessons today! I'm enlightened!

But what the heck, I can't deny I'm mainly here for the SYTs! C'mon Suituapui and Quavadis, do your worst. Hit me! Just remember this that I did it for all hot blooded males out there and that include you too! Hehehe...


OK, last camwhore before we say goodbye. Till next year, have a good year and remember the teachings of the Buddha! Na Mo Omi To Fuo!

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Today I went to a birthday party. It was not an ordinary birthday party, it was Buddha's birthday party. The Buddha celebrated his 2500th birthday today at Federation Square!

Well Buddha isn't exactly 2,500 years old, let's give and take a few years. But that's got to be worth celebrating if after so many years people around the world still worship you, right?

It is said that when Buddha was born, 9 heavenly dragons appeared and emitted 2 streams, 1 cool and 1 warm, of the purest fragrant rain from their mouths that gently cascaded to bath the newly born Buddha. Purified by the rain, the young Buddha pointed 1 hand towards the heaven and the other towards the earth and said, "On heaven and earth, I am the honoured one." Thus the Saturday Night Fever John Travolta's stance! (Don't flame me, just kidding!)

To start off the day we are going to witness the Bathing of Baby Buddha which was initiated by the monks performing some buddhist chantings.

After the chantings parents bring their toddlers to be blessed by the abbot of the monks for good health and well being. Which parents do not wish that for their kids? They always wish a little bit more, study well, good prospects in future career and marriage, etc, etc...

After blessing the children, devotees were encouraged to perform the Bathing of Buddha ceremony emulating Buddha's bath by the dragons at his birth. This ceremony actually started in China during the 3 Kingdoms Period between 220 to 280AD.

Bathing the Buddha with reverence and a purified mind are said to lead to a flourishing, fulfilling, wholesome, blissful and enlightened life. After having a day long bath I think Buddha would a prune soon! (Another joke, relax!)


There's never too much donations so everyone is most welcome to make a donation. You get to gong the bell for your money's worth!

By the way Mei, I met your friend Yong Seng I believe that's his name today at the festival. I asked him if you were there and he said you were still home sleeping. Tsk Tsk Tsk...Too much partying!

I Am A Rude Moron!

Someone called me a rude moron today. Not just a moron but a rude one too! I guess when people tell you that you are a moron then you should go home and think about it!

Let me see...hmm...I've never done anything useful or intelligent with my computer eversince I got it so I guess I could be a moron. Watch out people, you're reading a moron's blog. Reading too much of this blog could lead to uncontrollable moronic behaviours. You have been warned!

I do tend to put too much moronic salt in my food so I guess that might explain why I'm such a moron! I supposed intelligent people won't fall for that kind of moronic gimick! What do I know, me being a moron and all...

Sometimes I like to have my car radio blasting away while I do wheelies in my neighbourhoods and racing like Schumacher so I guess that could qualified me as a moron. What say you?

I enjoyed a game of Moron Kombat with my moronic friends every now and then so I guess we're all morons here. No doubt about that, Morons of the same moronic ideas tend to stick together!

When I party, I party like there's no tomorrow and after a few drinks I will be the moroniest person in the party so if that doesn't make me a moron then I don't know what will.

I wanted to be just like you so I stuck my own head up my own arse! Now that's gotta qualify me for a stupid moron! But rude? I don't think I've been rude. I'm just a moron but not a rude one. Just out of curiousity...I guess it took you a law degree to figure out what a moron I am! You wasted years in school, I could've told you that!

So I'm definitely sure that I am a moron. Wanna buy me a brain so I can be just like you; stuck up prick who thinks you're better than me? You're so smart and high class while I'm just a rude moron. Well I got news for you, all bloggers are morons! said Peter Tan so I guess you're one too!

Well at least I'm in good company with George Bush who's just as moronic as the rest of us!

I bet everyone's dying to know who I'm talking about, well all I'm telling you is that he's from Kiasuland and...


...he digs chicks. Literally!
