Kenny The Movie

When I first saw this banner of Kenny The Movie, the first thing that came to mind was "WTF? They're making a movie about Kenny Sia?" The movie's been out for nearly a month but I think it did terribly in the box office. That is to be expected because the movie is so flawed in so many ways!

First of all they get a white man to play a chinese guy. *Roll eyes* Then they set the scenes in Melbourne instead of Kuching the Pussyland. On top of that they got his profession wrong! Instead of some big shot IT guru that the real Kenny is supposed to be, they got him working as a turd person aka plumber! What's up with that?


And the biggest let down was that this Kenny doesn't even blog nor did he had a bunch of groupies hanging around him like the real Kenny. How dissapointing, glad I didn't pay good money to go see it. I wonder if they show this in Malaysia and flop too?

Playing Reporter

I think it was Yvy who said that I blog like a reporter! Well, I think its time I play reporter again. I just love playing reporter, I'm so kaypo that I would take pictures of things that stand out of the ordinary and show them to the world so here's another one for you..enjoy!

Went out to lunch yesterday in North Melbourne and saw this commotion outside Sumo Japanese Restaurant. The police with their divvy van (see photo) were at the scene with the owner checking out some damage done to the premise.

Apparently some truck must've gotten too close while driving along the narrow laneway and hit one of the air-conditioning units that were hanging on the wall. The whole unit had fallen off its bracket and dangling precariously but still attached to the wall via its cables and tubes!



Here's a better angle, have a look at that! The other one must've got hit as well but didn't fall but from the look of things the driver of the van is in for some pretty expensive lesson learnt here today! Hope his insurance policy is all paid up!

Close Encounters Of The 1st Kind

There are 5 kinds of close encounters namely first, second, third, fourth and fifth. Close encounters of the 1st kind are the simplest of the classified encounters and this involves visual sighting of an UFO. The 2nd would involves not just the sighting but also exhibit physical trace evidence like damaged vegetations or frightened animals and the 3rd involves actual non human beings! Fourth involves "missing times" and 5th involves communication between humans and alien beings and so forth.

I had my first Close Encounter Of The 1st Kind! (with an hot air balloon airship mind you) In fact most Melbournians had the same encounter as me last week with this hot air balloon airship thingy which I'm not sure what its called so its appropriate that I label it as a UFO! Hahaha!

Its bloody Holden promoting their upcoming new models of Holden cars and they're spending big on their advertisements! That letter 'G' is the beginning of a long sentence telling everyone about their new cars.


Once it got so close above me that I wished I had a bazooka. I just wanna see if I put a hole in it it'll deflate like in the cartoons when they burst a balloon and the air goes swishing out and the airship goes splattered onto some skyscraper! Hehe..I'm so evil.

Another Weekend Another Birthday

Certainly its been a busy couple of months with almost every weekend filled with someone's birthday and today is yet another birthday celebration amongst good friends.

Today is J's birthday and she's actually the same age as I! So happy birthday fellow snake year person! L prepared some really nice fruits and cake for dessert later. J decided to break tradition and opt for a barbeque instead of another dinner like we had been having the last 2 months and I say good choice!

Its good to have a BBQ at my friends' place. P does a killer BBQ everytime and with weather warming up I'm hoping there'll be more to come! We had BBQ lamb chops, sausages, octopus, shrimps and BBQ vegies like capsicums, zucchinis, asparagus and egg plants to name a few.


That was some awesome lunch followed by cakes and fruits with wine, beer and coffee and great friends. Good finale to the weekend, so how was your weekend?

My Belated Birthday Post

A lot of people know that my birthday has already been and gone but I've never written a post about it. Infact I was very quiet about it but a few people knew and then everbody knew!


I didn't want to write about it at first but since 5Xmom did hers, I might as well do mine to compliment hers. She had a beautiful cake for her birthday but mine was a simple mud cake you can buy from Coles Supermarket for A$3.99! A$2.99 when they have a sale! But they taste good, no doubt about it! Happy Birthday to everybody!

Transparent Pool

OK, time for another funky architecture post. This time I'm taking you to see the transparent swimming pool! Yes, a swimming pool where you get to see the swimmers doing their laps!

And its right here in this building down Yarra's Edge in Docklands. See that strip of blue right above the gymnastic floor? That's actually water and if you are lucky enough to come at the right time, you might even see the swimmers!


Have a closer look, I'm not kidding. That's actually water and there's actually a real swimming pool right above the gym. Too bad there's no swimmers when I took this shot, then you'll really believe me!

BloomCan

Terese found some interesting things at the Salvation Army shop last week and I was surprised too when she showed them to me. We have drinks in cans, foods in cans and even air in a can so why not plant in a can?

Check out these little beauties. They're called BloomCan and they come with different plants and Terese got two containing common mint and basil herbs. They look cute don't they?

On one end of the can we have a big opening where you can simply open with your finger like those pringle chips container while at the other end there's a plastic cover. In it there's an instruction on how to grow these.

Its pretty straight forward really, you open the top end to find vermiculite as growing medium for the plant. There should have the plant seeds inside and the instruction said to give it 3/4 cup of water to soak up the vermiculite.

On the other side of the can there's a lift up handle like a soft drink can opener, carefully open that opening to let the excess water drain off.

When they water stopped draining, cover up the underside with the plastic cover so you can place the can anywhere you like in the house without worrying about messing up your furnitures.


I've placed them on the window sill so they get good sunlight to grow and just make sure they don't dry up. Give them a spoonful of water every day or two and watch them grow. They should start to germinate in a week or so. Be patient..

Droideka

I have a new addition to my Star Wars figurine collections that I got from Kmart when they had the 15% off sale last week. Funny how sales always make me part with my money! My will power is not strong enough, must meditate on it!

The new addition is the Trade Federation's Droideka or commonly known as Destroyer Droid. Destroyer Droids are created to boost the Federation's Droid Army when their Battle Droids were found to be too weak in a combat situation.

There are other figurines in this series and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the Clone Troopers and General Grievious next time there's a sale on! The other characters I'm not too interested in.

Upon opening the packaging I was a bit dissapointed that I cannot fold the droideka into that infamous "wheel form" where they can roll along to get from place to place. Oh well, it is just a toy!


There's not much involved in the assembly either, just clip on the head to the torso and that's it! I don't like the way the legs stand, they should spread out a bit more. And what's with those 2 red thingies that go with the guns? Missile launchers? Gimme a break! They're not supposed to come with those! Kena tipu liao!

These Boots Are Made For Walking

My pair of boots from Rivers been with me for donkey years. I've loved this pair of boots coz of its comfort and good looks when I slipped them on but time has finally caught up with them..

I've gone thru a second pair of laces with them, the soles are worn down till the 'flowers' are all gone. There's holes underneath for water to seep in on wet days and they've started to do the crocodile open wide wide which I've glued down once but its just a losing battle for them. Time to put them out of their misery!

And get myself a new pair of boots! I was going to get Blundstone boots but they're very dear but I've decided to give these a go. They're half the price of the Blundstone brand but have the same style. They're made by Grosby who specialises in school shoes!

Kmart was having a 15% off everything in store so I thought I might as well grab a pair at A$34.00 These are comfortable work boots but they are quite fashionable nowadays as casual footwears as well.


So these boots are made for walking, that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!

Thank You Suituapui!

Suituapui sent me a DVD through Alex when he went back to Sibu last and I've only just had the opportunity to watch it last week. Thank you Suituapui for the kind gesture, it is very much appreciated!

Its basically a DVD about the history of Catholic Mission Schools in Sibu and I happened to be a student of one of the schools called Sacred Heart School which Suituapui happens to be a teacher there as well.

After watching this DVD I realised I didn't know very much about my former school nor the other schools related to it, from its history in its early days to the more recent ones. It did however bring back horrid memories of my school days especially about the then principal Brother Albinus!

Nowadays there are new schools being built which I never knew about. I should make an effort to go visit my old school when I go back in January and also to visit the other new schools. I'm sure Suituapui will be happy to take me on a tour, aren't you Suituapui? I looked everywhere in the DVD for Suituapui but he told me before that I will never find him in there because he wasn't in any of the videos nor pictures taken. But I was very persistent and I looked in every little scenes meticulously and I am happy to announce that I have finally found you Suituapui!

And here he is! He was first spotted in this staff photo where the arrow pointing out where he is! Nice outfit though Suituapui, I guess you rushed straight from the gym to the photo shoot and didn't have time to change! Are you teaching WWF in school now?

I found him again the second time in the canteen stuffing himself with the delicious foods that everyone had prepared! Everyone was watching some VIP giving speech but Suituapui was too busy eating!


And lastly I saw him in a ballerina costume trying to steal the spotlight off this lady who was getting down to the music! Move over lady! Suituapui's gonna rock this school! He's gonna show you how karaoke is done!

So thank you again for the DVD! I am definitely going to look you up when I get to Sibu (unless you think I've just blew my chance!)

Viet Palace

There's a new restaurant that's just open up in the suburb I live in and its called Viet Palace. As the name suggests this is a vietnamese restaurant and the only one in the suburb!

They're giving a 10% discount to all customers in the first 2 weeks to drum up customers. This place used to be a Hong Kong style chinese restaurant but obviously it didn't make any money and they had to shut down!

As most people who know me know that Terese and I love vietnamese foods so we just had to give this place a go. The price is slightly more expensive than the typical vietnamese restaurants in Richmond or Springvale but it is the only vietnamese restaurant here.

To find out how good a restaurant is you have to try out their regular dish first so in the case of a vietnamese eatery, Com Tam is the one to go. Its a typical vietnamese broken rice with grilled pork, egg and other ingredients. Not bad at all but the pork is a bit on the fatty side.


Terese's favourite is the Cambodian Noodle with prawns, char siew and minced pork in soup. Very tasty soup full of msg I'm sure but good nonetheless! Yes, good foods..will definitely come back next time.

Was on my way to work last week when I saw this sticker on the rear window of a van infront of me.

Sticker says; WANTED: Good woman who can cook, dig worms, bait hooks and has a new motorboat...Send Photo Of Motorboat!


Any applicant?

Like New Again

Today is the first day of Spring in Australia and it was a warm 23 degrees! A little windy but overall a wonderful day to be outdoor. I love Spring but not looking forward to the hot weather in Summer though.

Remember I did a post on my neighbour cleaning their roof? Well not only did they cleaned it, they repaired the broken tiles, resealed it, replaced the old gutters and...


...sprayed the entire roof to look like a brand new house! They did a marvelous job at rejuvenating the old tired roof and hope it'll last another few more years to come.
