After 9 years......look what i found!!!

Went to Asia shop...found Hu-Mau-Tan!!! Straight away buy!! $3.50 for 6....nevermind laaa.....very worth it....not as good as i am use to but not awful also..... :p.

Pindah Pejabat!!!

After 7 years commuting 33 miles each way, my office will be moving to a new location much,much closer to my home. If you enlarge the pic above, that will give you a little perspective of the distance. Well, thats about 10 miles off my daily commute. Thus that equates to 20 miles each way, 100 miles each week, 400 miles each month, roughly about $30 savings in gas each month. Hhahahahahaa......but the thing i am happy most about this move is that i will finally have my own office. No more prairie dogging as a cubicle dweller and no more hearing personal conversations of office colleagues and best of all, i can at least play some music over my speakers. Its not that big of an office but at least its my own personal space whereby i can shut the door if i want to make a personal calls. Will snap a pic of my office when i get the opportunity to do so. :)

Robotic Kit No-More

After sitting there for a few weeks, i decided to go ahead and return my lego robotic kit. Why? Well, after much thought, i figure i really don't have that much time to play around with that. Considering you have to assemble and re-program the toy, i dem lazy to go and do that. Furthermore, with the Ipod Touch getting my attention, i think i will re-allocate my funds and get the Ipod instead. Sigh!!! So much to buy so little funds. So......no more robot kit.....but with me....maybe i will go buy it again when the price is right!!! :p

I lurve Amy Winehouse!!! Not!!!

I thought it was very-very well done. I had quite a laugh.

Its fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A!!!!

Sadly....the YMCA i go to has to be closed down because i broke all their machines!!!! NOT!!!!
Well, its closed because of their annual maintenance thus i am unable to eat too much these week. I know i am going to go east and west if i don't behave. Sigh!!! I know i don't look it but i really miss working out at the YMCA.....its about 2 miles from my home and its got a pool whereby i can almost always get a lane to myself. Well, unless there are hippos frolicking in there....anyway, one a positive note, my mobo is back in my hands this evening and hopefully by tomorrow, i will get my life back and create a robot or two!!!! Whoo Hooo!!!

This is Animoto, Seattle Visitors Part Deux

Found this link from G4 TV. Pretty much upload your pics, pick your songs and let them render it. I didn't really have much pics to play with or able to select my own songs. So try it out, i am sure you'll enjoy seeing the results!! :)

Cherry Stone Clams

Went to the asian grocery during my lunch break and saw some wonderfully sized cherry stone clams. The last time i saw them, i did not buy them, so this time i decided to just go ahead and try them out and see. Let me intro them to you(top to bottom), say hi to Nikki, LoLo, Candi and Mercedez. Funny how asians names sound so westernized these days!!! Kekekekekeke!!! Let me tell you, these ladies are voluptuous,wet and juicy. Just in case you can't tell how big they are, just go see the next picture. I know, i know, i should stop making sex objects out of my food!!! :p


Ok....here you go.....here is showing you how big they are. These are possible the biggest hooke.....i mean.....clams i have ever seen in my life. They cost about $2.39 for a pound. I bought 4 of them and they weigh around 2 lbs.


So anyway, to prepare them, i cut some garlic, shallots and green onions. Blended some Ritz crackers. In a pan, melt some butter, put in garlic and shallots....saute them for a bit, then add the green onions. After the aroma comes out, add the crumbled ritz crackers to make like a paste. Take off the fire and put it aside.

Next, open up the clams. I cheat....i use a hammer and crack them open a little. Just put some of the paste that was made and smear them over them clams. Pre-heat over for 425 degrees, and put Nikki,, LoLo, Candi and Mercedez into the sauna for 10 mins.....and the end result is this....


I had a great time with these hooke...i mean ladies......unfortunately for them, i was more satisfied than them. Maybe go get more tomorrow!!!

Toys again.....

After many moons.......i finally decided to break down and get me one of these. I got a 20% off coupon, so the urge to get one was pretty high. These things never go on sale like that so i though, oh what the heck, no wife to ask permission for such things and no children to feed milk to, so i might as well take care of myself. Here is my new toy. Lego Mindstorm NXT.
This thing is still cheaper than photography and in the process, i'll get to learn about robotics.
Not sure if i am creative enough to build great robots....but i have a robot dino in mind. But for now, here is the box.


Below is what they call the brick. Its the brain of the whole system. I am dying to try the thing out.


Unfortunately with my PC out of commission, i am unable to do much with it now. Sigh..hopefully i am able to get my mobo back next week. So in the meantime, it has to sit there and collect dust a little.

If it ain't broken....don't fix it!!!

Cleber...cleber go and flash my computer bios.....next think i know, koyaked!!!!
Now have to send the motherboard back to the manufacturer for a replacement.
Sigh!!! So no regular updates from the comfort of a desktop.
So no shiok!!! :(

Just mooning around!!!

Was on my way to work around 5.15am a few days ago and lo and behold, saw a full moon. I quicky rush back into the house and grab my camera and took a picture of the moon. Its unfortunate that i don't have time to play around with the settings to get a better picture. Actually i miss and opportunity a day ago when the moon was looking much larger than this one. Sigh....so i have to really keep a close eye on moon times.

You know that you've been gone too long.....

when you renew your passport and get this stamped onto it.


What's interesting is that they renewed it just by extending the length of the duration on the passport. I had first thought they said that i needed to go back first, get my ID card then they will renew it. Then i was pleasantly surprised that they stamp an extension on the passport.On the whole, it took about 2 weeks for them to get it done, in which i am very happy about it.Its probably one of the most pleasant surprises of this year.

My Blow Up Doll!!! Kinda!!!!!

I would have to say Sammi Cheng dem smart. How she know i getting a new PC? Really cleber girl!!! Hahahahaah.....anyways, she is half right.

Ok...here is the story, about 1.5 months ago, my computer kaputed.....just flat out died. Blue screen of death appeared and re-installing it also kenot save. So here is my new box($50 bucks at a bargain,just the case....not the innards).


Here is the inside of it.


Probably won't mean a thing for some of my readers but here are the specs.
-Intel Duo Core E6750
-2G DDR2 Ram
-400G HD space
-GTS 8800 640 OC2 video card-----> My baby!!! Got another baby i like but i am short 50cents. :p

Anyway, the next thing i did not expect was to get a new monitor....so i was surfing away last Saturday and lo and behold.....BestBuy having a 22 incd LCD Widescreen for $189.....dem.....thats a good price. So i got a buyer for my old monitor for $100 so in total $89 bucks for the upgrade!!! So here it is....my baby's face....

Now i can surf 2 pages at the same time!!!! Ahhhh......this is definately better than the blow up dolls!!!! :p

Coming Soon

A short note here......
I just got another new toy. A bit busy setting it up now.
Just wanted to post something here so that you know that Gloomville is still alive....not dead yet.
Been a hectic week for me....so stay tuned!!!! :)

Visitors dealt with and peace has been restored!!

After many days of negotiating, the visitors seemed to be happy with the deal they got.Raw fish really hit the spot for them. Hehehehehehhe......... Anyway, hope all of them had a good time and glad i am able to host them. Oh....here's a picture of them here....notice, they seemed very happy and smiling!!! Anyway, till then, whenever you see the rain, remember the green alien in the poncho hiking thru the rain forest!!! :p

Visitors

A particular citizen of Gloomville will be expecting a few visitors in town in the next few days.Sad thing is that this is the citizen responsible for updating new events about the latest happening around Gloomville. Thus, there will not be any updates anytime soon. But the government of this nation express confidence in its supporters patience as they have been thru worst staleness of news in the past!!! Muahahahaahhhaa!! :p

Making a difference.

Was watching NBC news a few days ago and there was a segment about the new millionaires in America. They were focusing in on an individual whom is in real estate and he owns a private jet. In fact he owns 2 private jet and planning to buy another one which is better. The segment focus mainly on how the rich spends their wealth and its truly sad that when the filthy rich spends money on luxuries like this instead of making the world a better place to live. I mean, come on, do you really need 3 private jets for your fat ass.

The report claims that the number of millionaires are growing drastically here in the US but it feels that all these people is only concern about getting bigger,faster and more luxurious things. But on the other hand, they did show this elderly millionaire that decided to ride his bicycle to work and give most of his earnings to the poor and needy. Like the new mexican billionaire that became the most richest man recently. Heck, so filthy rich and the people in his country is in poverty.....and from what i know, he's done nothing much to help his own people. Sigh......with that said, at least we have Bill Gates and Warren Buffet making a difference. :)

Hmmmmmm......Squishee............

It was very hot today.....so i went to Kwik-E-Mart to get some Squishee!!!!! Hmmmmm........Squishee........did not see any Buzz cola or Duff beer.....but i'll try that at a later date. Either you get this post or you don't. ;)

A meme? WTF is a meme?

Transformers Again!!!!

Ok...ok....i finally watch the Transfromers on the big screen and i have to say this......not enough robot time on the screen. And......not enough whole robot transformation and a bit kelam kabut in certain part of the action scenes. Nevertheless, its a good movie and enjoy it very much. I will have to buy the DVD when its release and slo-mo it to see the transformation and figure out what is going on in the action scenes.Today i went to ToysRUs and came back with 2 figures....

Ironhide.......


and Barricade(i got the last of it in the whole display section).


I love these 2 cars as they looked kick ass. I wish they had die-cast versions of it but oh well.
Next month they are coming out with the Ultimate version of BumbleBee at $70-$100.......hmmm....looks cool......but not sure if i want to pay that much for it. Too back Jazz looked horrible as he is one of my favs. Still deciding if i want to get Rachet and Blackout or not.....

Digging out the past.

Felt so lost now coz it seems that the whole world has seen The Transformers except me.Die Hard 4 was release this weekend and next week only Transformers. Dem no shiok.But anyway, i went down to the basement and dig out 2 Transformers i had bought a longtime ago. I hadn't even taken them out of the box coz i lazy to go transform them. But i needto get in the mood for the movie next week, so decided to take it out and transform them.I tell you, i dunno how kids did it, these 2 took me almost 45 mins to figure out how to transform them. So with that said.....gonna bring it to my cubicle tomorrow and display them. Hhahahaa....dem childish man me!!! :p
