"Why Do You Still Play With Toys?!"

People ask me "Why do you still play with toys?" to which I answer "Why not?" But I don't play with just any kind of toys, they have to be Star Wars toys!

I saw this Star Wars Clone Wars Clone Troopers Pack and I just had to get it! Its The Muunilinst 10 from the animated Star Wars series as seen on Cartoon Network!

You have to be a Star Wars fan to understand why I still buy and play with these figurines and I am not even going to try to explain it to you if you don't! I've practically grown up with the Star Wars fantasy and it will stay with me for the rest of my life!

This battlepack includes the captain of the elite team of troopers sent to hunt down General Grievious of the Droid Army. Leading the assault team is Captain Fordo and his command crew!

This is Captain Fordo of The Muunilinst 10, known for his aggressive fighting tactics and prefers to employ firepower over finesse. Fordo was once awarded the Chancellor's Service Medal, which he refused and transfered to a fallen member of his task force.

One of the command crew is the specialised heavy gunner with his super duper gun! I like this trooper best! Notice that he doesn't wear the shoulder guard like the others and his helmet is also different from the rest.

The rest of the command crew carry standard blasters except for one who carry the same type of rifle-blaster as Captain Fordo. The rest of the team are made up of ordinary clone troopers which are not included in this pack.


Here's Captain Fordo leading his men on their mission to hunt down General Grevious. After I've done playing with them I'll repack them back in the box. 20 years from now they will be worth a fortune! Che-cheh, are you jealous now? Hehe...

The Annoying Frog

On Saturday we went to Spotlight in Box Hill to get some yarns for Terese and some other knitting needles. This place is full of women shopping for cloths, needles, craft thingies and all kind of female stuff! So while Terese was choosing her yarns, I was wondering around the place and made my way to the clearance bin where I saw...

...this little gadget. Its a bottle opener but its the annoying frog bottle opener! It was selling for $12.95! I couldn't believe my eyes but its supposed to be cheaper coz it was in the clearance bin.

It makes that annoying sound everytime you open a bottle with it! And it was daring me to press the button! The store was full of people and lets just say I saw a lot of heads looking my way! So now I'm daring you to watch the video!

Leo's

Here in Australia the supermarket chains are monopolised by 2 very big corporations namely Woolworths and Coles Myer. You can find these 2 supermarkets just about anywhere you go.

But there are smaller upmarket supermarkets in some affluent suburbs like Leo's in Heidelberg and Kew where we went yesterday to get a particular brand of chilli jam that only can be found there. We don't normally come to Leo's mainly because of their prices but only if we have to, like when the stuffs you want can only be found there.


Leo's stocks a lot of unusual brands of products not normally found in the mainstream supermarkets for example Sarawak Black Peppercorn at $7.90 per 100 gm can! Talk about expensive!

2 SYTs

Went to lunch at Van Van today and saw 2 SYTs sitting across the room that caught my attention. I think they cannot be more than 18 years old but that's when they start to miang nowadays true anot?


After they finish their meals, quickly quickly they did their makeups! Wuah both doing at the same time pulak! Reapply lipstick lah, touch up foundation lah..aduh! That one look like got wearing mask on! What to do? Have to meet boyfriend mah, right anot?

My Luck Will Go On...

I feel like singing "My Luck Will Go On..." belting out with gusto at the top of my lungs my version of Celine Dion's song from the Titanic movie! Don't worry I won't but you wanna know why I feel like singing?

Well today was another beautiful day like yesterday, kind of like a carbon copy day of yesterday. Remember yesterday was also my lucky day when I scored myself a 17" monitor? So how long do you reckon my luck is going to last? Would it last for another day since today was like yesterday?

Oh yes it would! And that's precisely what happened when I got home from work today to find a ticket for 2 to see the latest Michael Douglas movie called The Sentinel! I've won this from a phone competition when Terese asked me to call this competition line for the movie. Terese did the right thing and if she hadn't done so we wouldn't have won the ticket!


The movie premieres at 6.30 pm on Wednesday the 2nd of August so y'all know what we'll be doing on that night! *Back to singing...My luck will go on...*

Not Another Monitor Post!

Today was a beautiful day, the sun was out but it was still cold. At least there was no rain and gloomy sky and we decided to go down to North Melbourne for lunch at that malaysian place.

This is Errol Street in North Melbourne with the clear blue sky! People who miss Melbourne, miss it even more now? Hehe...thought you like a little peek at what you're missing out.

Anyway as we were heading towards the restaurant we came across the front of the council office where an old 17" monitor was sitting on the floor right in front with a note stuck to it.

Had a better look at the note and it said that its free for anyone who wants it! The monitor is working except for the power button. I couldn't believe my eyes and went inside and spoke to a lady who confirmed that it was a giveaway and that I could have it now! So what do you think I did?

I took it home of course! I tested the monitor with my old IBM computer and found the monitor to be in good working order. Don't let the photo fools you coz the display is very good! It just need a good clean on the outside because of years of abuse from the council workers!


The only fault I could find was the power button which appeared to be stuck on ON all the time which doesn't bother me one bit! Its not everyday I get something free so I am grateful for today! The weather was good and the sun was shinning on me!

Roadwork Sign

Its Wednesday which is hump day coz its in the middle of the week thus 'hump' like the hump of the camel...never mind, just excited that we've moved halfway through the week and the weekend is on its way!

Here in Melbourne we get a lot of road repairs in the middle of the busy roads and there's always good clear signs warning motorists of the road work being done ahead and to be cautious and prepare to stop if need to...very good.

But last week I was driving along busy Victoria Parade when there was another road work ahead. Traffic was slow but moving along but I didn't see any roadwork signs anywhere until I spotted a very small orange sign on a post...


What the...? No money in the budget to make new signs? Have to resort to home-made sign of a stick figure holding a sign! Or is he holding a giant lollypop? I reckon just trying to save some money by doing away with a real person. So very unnoticeable not to mention unsafe!

Sometimes The Latest Is Not Necessarily Better.

One of our monitors at work died and since it costs too much to repair it my boss decided that it is more economical to just purchase another monitor. The old monitor was a 17" CRT monitor and a replacement monitor of the same specification would be sufficient for our need.

My boss being computer illiterate, got talked into by the sales person to buy a 19" LCD monitor instead! Its a BenQ but can't remember the model number and comes with a 3 year warranty.

I remember LCD monitors used to come with separate power supplies but this one didn't. It just came with a cable to plug directly into the wall, a cd containing the manual and warranty card.

All that was required of us to do was to attach the stand to the screen and that's it! Not a bad looking monitor since we're so used to looking at CRT screens! This is going to take some getting used to.

From the side it looks so flat as compared with the CRTs! Wouldn't be a bad idea to change all the monitors to LCD but we can only dream. I'm glad the sales person did his job!


The only problem is that this monitor requires a 1280 x 1024 resolution to take advantage of its full use. Our system being really old does not display such high resolution thus we get a little bit of the display missing either from the top or the bottom depending on how we adjust it. There's no control to compress the display like we could with the old CRT which I don't know why so I rang up BenQ support who basically told me that's all we're gonna get! Very unhelpful support on the part of BenQ but we can live with it!

And the monitor looks out of place next to all the old machines! Sometimes the latest is not necessarily better.

The Suituapui Club

You've read their comments and you've often wondered who they are. Finally the moment everyone in the blogosphere has been waiting for is here! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...

The Suituapui Club! *Jeng Jeng Jeng* The club where most men can only dream of becoming a part of but only a handful elite chubby checkers are allowed to join. This is the story of the 3 cousins who took the blogosphere by storm and had SYTs and silais screaming for more!

Starring the beautiful mountain himself who is the epitome of the modern day hero, Suituapui! Fat and sarcastic, Suituapui leads his cousins on their quest for destruction and mayhem across all blogs in the blogosphere!

Also starring Kampong Nangka Boy who though less fat than Suituapui but just as sinister as he plundered all blogs he comes across with his cousins. Got the hots for Jessica Alba but since that is but a dream he settles for Phuket's pondans which is his also his all time favourites!


And last but never the least special guest starring the 3rd but most malicious of the 3 cousins is none other than QuaVadis who is known to spread his q.v.virus all across blogger's comment boxes right across the known blogosphere!

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado I present to you The Suituapui Club! *Special thanks to Cocka who provided me with the video.

How To Turn Your Rubbish Into Good Use!

Welcome back to the Tukang Kebun Show. Today I'm going to share with you a simple tip on turning your rubbish into good use!

The rain stopped today which gave me an opportunity to resume my work outside. Once a year in winter I'd prune my roses hard and clear most of my perenial bushes back to make ways for young new shoots in Spring.

Rose clippings are full of diseases which I'd throw out in the green bin but I also ended up with piles of green wastes from the perenial bushes like the catmints and other herbs I got in my backyard.

I could just throw all my green wastes away into the green bin but a better alternative is to turn them into green manure! I knew I made the right choice when I bought my mulching mower where it not only cut the grass but will also shred them into fine pieces. So if you're in the market for a new lawn mower, get a mulching mower like I did and you'll never regret it! I ran my mulching mower over the pile of green wastes to shreds and ended up with...

...a pile of green clippings! You can use these to mulch your garden beds but I found that they tend to get slimey when wet but hard and crusty when its hot and dry. What I do is collect them and put them into my...


...compost bin to let it rot down before I'll use the composted materials for the garden beds! This way nothing is wasted and I get free compost which I use to enrich the soil in the garden! Its all good for the environments!

This has been a community service broadcast brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood tukang kebun. Till next time, happy kebuning!

Rain

Its been pouring cats and dogs out there since last night and there's no sign that its about to stop. Its just been constantly drizzling down and my backyard is saturated and getting a little flooded!

Nothing to do on a day like today so it was mainly a stay home kind of day. Occupied myself with the housechores till I decided to venture outside to take pictures of the rain! Here's one of the English Daisies I planted a while back.

I was planning to do more gardening this weekend but I think I may have to give it a miss..maybe tomorrow if it stops raining. Still got plenty to do in the backyard!


Here's one of the conifers. I love taking macro shots but unfortunately my camera is not up to the challenge, this is the best I can do. *Blek* Time to upgrade my camera, anyone wants to sponsor wuching.blogspot.com?

My First Blogger Meet

Finally I have a bit of time to sit down and write up the post on the little mini blogger meet with Yvy and the others last night. Sorry hor but its been a hectic week and I'm just catching up with my blogging!

So I was running late for the meet because Carlton was so busy even for a week night! I had to drive around a few blocks before I could find a park on the street. Haven't been here for many years and the place has certainly changed a lot! Everyone was there except me but lucky for me the venue was full and they had to go to another restaurant. Yvy called me to let me know about the new venue when I was still looking for a park!

I finally parked my car miles away and had to walk a few minutes before finding everyone making acquaintances at the new place, a nice little italian restaurant called Cafe Nortuna or something like that. This is the first time I met Yvy and Ted, Lao Chen, Xaverri and Pamela. I understand Xaverri wishes to remain anonymous so pardon me for the blurring of her face. She also told me that her parents were from Sibu also thus she's another foochow in Melbourne! From my recollection Pamela and Xaverri have just graduated, Xaverri is staying in Melbourne whereas Pamela is going back to KL. Lao Chen is a professional photographer with his dSLR camera and I felt so intimidated!

Ted is a quiet but easy to get along with kinda guy. He's a very likeable person and Yvy is exactly how I pictured her to be, a really friendly, bubbly, plenty to say person with a great sense of humour! We hit it off straight away! Hahahaha! I found myself with plenty to talk about with the lot, something I didn't know I could be! Scary! We had a lot to talk about mainly about other bloggers and readers like you! So much so that I only took a few snapshots of us. Sorry for the lack of photos but how many photos can I take of the 6 of us! You can find more photos of the meet at Lao Chen's blog here. Some of us just couldn't help ourselves with taking photos of the menu and our food! Speaking of food Yvy had chicken parmigiana, Ted had a pizza, Pamela had a risotto, Xaverri had tortellini and I've forgotten what Lao Chen had!


Seeing Pamela, Xaverri and Lao Chen makes me realised how 'not' young I am! This was my first blogger meet and I've enjoyed it tremendously. Now I'm not a virgin blogger meet attendee anymore! Hahahahaha! I look forward to more blogger meets here or in Malaysia!

What Yvy Had For Dinner Tonight

Begging your pardon but I don't have time to update tonight. Just got back from the little blogger meet with Yvy and the others at Carlton and it was wonderful!


Hedo you are right, Yvy is a lot of fun and a good conversationalist with a great sense of humour. Plenty of chatting and laughing but I won't go into detail so I'll just show you what Yvy had for dinner tonight, chicken parmigiana.

Murder On My Frontyard!

Oh my gawd! I thought my suburb was safe until today when I learned that a heinous crime of murder has been commited right on my frontyard down the street! This is so sad for the murdered victim and his family.

The murdered man was a solicitor who had his office just down the street in my suburb. On Monday night he went back to his office around 8.30 pm with his son to print off his son's assignment when they noticed the front door's window was broken into and there were signs that someone's been trying to set the place on fire.


The solicitor went to the back of the shop to investigate but was confronted by the intruder. Witnesses said argument was heard before shots were fired! He staggered a few yards before collapsing at the nearby train station.

I went to have a look at the shop front and saw the small broken window on the door and there were signs the police had already gone through the nearby windows dusting for fingerprints. There were flowers laid on the front door by friends or family members but I didn't want to take any close-up shots of the place coz I think that would be disrespectful of the dead on my part just so I could blog on it!

Anyway I feel sorry for the wife and children of the deceased lawyer. Police says it could be a disgruntled client. Being a lawyer can be a dangerous job if you deal with criminals on a daily basis I supposed.

I'm Growing A Pimple

Oh dear, this is a bit embarrassing. Who would've thought I'm hitting puberty again the second time around at my age! I'm growing a pimple at the moment and its no ordinary pimple...no this pimple is huge! So huge that for a while I thought it was a boil but upon having a second look I know its just a pimple but an angry, big, painful pimple! To make matter worse this pimple is not on my face, rather its growing on my right ass cheek! And its growing on the side of the cheek where its rubbing with the other ass cheek so you can imagine how painful it can get everytime I move!


So do you know a cure for pimples? Forget about Clearasil coz I'm not buying it just for one pimple on my ass! I know a trick that will help get rid of your pimples and its cheap also. Its Vicks Vaporub! Yes, I swear by this coz I've used it many times before without fail. Just apply a bit directly onto the pimple and watch it disappear in a couple of days! Of course you need to reapply every few hours so next time you have a pimple growing on your face, nose, back or in my case the ass just remember Wuching said to use Vicks Vaporub! Ok, excuse me while I go reapply...

Note: Vicks Vaporub Corporation can contact me for detail on where to send your cheque.

Wuching Can Cook!

Terese had to go see her Mum about something today and I had chores to do at home so for most part of the day I was by myself which means Terese's not home to cook lunch for me!

Never fear! Wuching can cook! Just get some of these Indomie Mi Goreng and a couple of eggs and we'll be right! Fry the eggs and boil the noodle till soft, drain well and mix well with the sauces and seasoning powder that came with it...


Tada! Lunch for one! Quick and simple. I believe this Mi Goreng is quite popular everywhere and certainly is popular here in Australia where its sold in any supermarkets nation wide! So thanks to Indomie, Wuching can cook!

Magic Mushrooms

Enough walking! People say don't go rushing your life away without stopping to smell the roses. Good point! I will stop but with no roses along the roadside, mushrooms will do!


These mushrooms were found sprouting after a good soaking from the night before. With the cool and wet morning comes these mushrooms sprouting everywhere from among the grasses by the roadside. Mmm...magic mushrooms! Ok maybe not exactly but they're good for a bit of camwhoring since there's no roses to smell.

I'm Still Walking

I'm still walking...another day, another lunch break, another walk around the block. Walking is good for you so be active and walk, walk, walk! Its healthy and doesn't cost you anything so get off your ass and walk...


This time I walked under the Bolte Bridge marveling the huge supporting beams holding the freeways up! Ahh...human beings have come a long way from picking lice off each other in the plains of Africa! Gotta keep walking...

P/S: Don't forget to keep voting!

I Went For A Walk

I went for a walk during lunch today because the weather cleared up a bit. Fair weather is a rare occasion this time of the year so must make the most of good weather when its here!


Started walking up the bridge that crosses to the other side of Westgate Freeway when I took a snapshot of the southwest side of Melbourne City. The freeway below is Westgate Freeway and the brown building on the left is Yarra's Edge 5 one of the residential buildings on the Yarra's Edge. City center is to the left of it. Can you figure out where I took this picture from?

I'm A Bootlegger But You may Call Me Uncle Ho!

Work was slow today so we decided to leave a little early to go watch a movie! Its Tuesday, the cheapest day of the week but I still think its expensive...$9.00! But I like watching good movies on the big screens!


We saw X-men 3, yes I know I'm a little bit slow, its been out for a while but better late than never! I like the movie and can't wait to get it on DVD. I think it was pretty good and we stayed till the credits finished to catch that last bit of footage that everyone said! There were only 3 people in the theatre and the usher was waiting for us so he could clean the theatre!

Anyway, halfway through the movie I decided to do a little experiment. I decided to capture the movie using my camera in video format! Cool! So this is how pioneer movie bootleggers do their stunts! So now I'm officially a bootlegger but you may call me Uncle Ho in Malaysia! LOL! Watch a minute clip of Wolverine kicks some ass in the forest scene below!

Update: The video got taken off! Just as well, it wasn't legal! So you just have to watch the movie at the cinema!

Loud Chinamen!

Warning! This post may offend some people and if you are one of those people, I'm sorry but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who really gives a shit! But if you are in the picture below then you should pay attention because I say so!


Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...can you guys talk any louder? I think you've even scared the seagulls away, mind you seagulls are supposed to be the loudest creatures by the sea but obviously I was mistaken. You guys are the champions! Even the roars of the waves are not loud enough to drown out your chatterings. From the way you speak your mandarin I'm not really sure if you're from Taiwan or China. Either way, you are embarrassing your girlfriends who have decided to walk quietly infront of you keeping a distance so as not to be associated with you.

These overseas students remind me of Alex's post a while back about a bunch of loud chinamen in the library. Alex, are these the same lot? Deary me, why so loud? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...*ducks for cover from incoming diss*
