汝爱什米咸?

I approach the “菜饭” stall with my usual lunch hour drowsiness, but the lady manager to wake me up.

“小弟，汝爱什米咸?”

Not because she calls me little brother, but first time in my life I am intrigue by the wondrous of Hokkien dialect. She asked me what kind of “saltiness” I want leh!

“小妹，我不要咸。我要甜酸鱼。”

I returned the kindness. We both smile at meeting people from the same ‘tribe’.

I also realized the Hokkien of stingy is "咸涩", which are 'taste' also.

I will continue to ponder about the word and culture for this whole day.

Interesting surf raed - Who are the Hokkien People? and the urban dictionary (billingsgate warning)

Privileges of a King

Will refused to sleep last night, so I introduced him to MS paint brush.
He adapts to the click and hold+draw pretty quickly, and then he did some impressionist painting. He would say “blue, blue!", which was his favorites color, and then demand his PA – me, to select the right one for him.

It was past midnight 12:15 am, I think maybe I could sell the painting for a million bucks.

In this way, I can be with him every night at this hour.

Greed

I am a simple peasant. Weak is my Heart and conflict is what I fear.
Nothing I can gain from this war.
有意插花花不开，无心折柳柳成荫。

I just want a piece of land that I can harvest on, why is it so difficult?

One week in Kuala Lumpur

My brother in law has been very kind, not only is he willing to married my sister but also invites us to his condo in KL.
In the day time we just idle around in places like Times Square, KLCC, Midway Village and Jusco. Raynor also enjoy soaking in the pool whole day every day. William, I think he forgot school.

We never got to visit all the good eating place. The food in KL is good and cheap with every places you go. Our brother in law drove us around every night. We've been to good eating places like KLFC (古仔美食中心) and Raku Zen, he also told me the there is a food court here in KL with full wifi support, unthinkable.

We can never reply his kindness.

Things that I misses during the trip:
- No internet
- No PAP
- No work (Ya! like real!)

There is one thing I find it blog worthy about this place. During my visit I realized that Midway Village shopping mall was build on top of a Hindu Temple. Was the gahmen powerless against them or the evil landlord fail to "buy" them over?

Such is a view you will never see in Singapore, a mega shopping mall stand side by side with a Hindu Temple. I call this respect of Religion.

Next time I would try to take some pictures.

I am angry

I am born in the blood of the brood. My appearance and habit does not different from you, but the public doubt my heart. Wherever I go, people look at me as though that I am some kind of freak, they fear that suddenly a monster will creep out of my body and attack them.

I walk the free land without freedom. I have friends that I pay through my blood, but I fear that one day they would want my blood.

The trial I went through was nothing for me, but I can barely stand in the thoughts of my children who will walk the same inevitable path of prosecution.

If I really have the strength, I would perish together with this world.

My only joy was the moment at the pond, where a 2.24 meters sturgeon was finally caught after a long struggle. I forgot the purpose of my path at the time.

There is still a long way to go.

My name is Ryu – we shall meet in Breath of Fire IV.

It is not what you said, but who say it. (Link)

Fear not we're just pesky flies

Actually, I agree with Dr Lee Boon Yang. The internet is extremely Evil. Not only we need to regulate it, we need to prosecute those dissident. The gahmen need to catch them and punish them in public. (Link) and (Link)

Especially, those who post naked photos, violent materials, abhorrent languages and fictional religion informations.

Of course, this does apply to the MSM, which are free to publish anything they deem appropriate, even if is anyhow said.

Huh? what? this is not about moral well being of our people har? Oh! is about the gahmen scare too many people kena sway by different political view.

I am sorry! I thought they are concern about something else. Pardon me and ignore my post please.

What BlueTooth ID are you carrying?

I feel little impish during lunch time, so I start to scan for active ID in the food court. This is what I got:

"芳芳~"
"横财就手-D (3163)"
"海豚~海豚 :)"

What the heck!!

Which X-Men (3) character are you most like?

Yesterday I watched X-Men 3 with Raynor

Which X-Men character are you most like?

You are Professor X!You are a very effective teacher, and you are very committed to those who learn from you. You put your all into everything you do, to some extent because you fear failure more than anything else. You are always seeking self-improvement, even in areas where there is nothing you can do to improve.

Now I know, I am dead. What am I still doing here?

Loser that talks about Da Vinci all the time

Recently there are too many Da Vinci post on my site. So many, in fact I also feel its lame.

But I want to clarify; my talks about Da Vinci were just coincidence. I did not plan to cooks up anything religious. I know that there are still many people talking about Da Vinci out there. Well, I still think Da Vinci is worth talking about.

I understand among all, Catholics are the people who feel most unpleasant talking about the topic. I truly understand, after all, it is your life time faith.

So far, I have not received any warning letter or threaten mail. I assume either my posts are but small ripples, or no one care.

I still wanted to say this; any posts about Da Vinci here do not mean to offend anyone.

Japanese acoustic expert recreated Mona Lisa's voice

鈴木 松美, a Science researcher and Psychologist, works for the criminal department of Japan. He helps them to recreate voice from skull, and assists in their crime investigation.
He measured the hand and face of Mona Lisa from the famous portrait, then added an Italian accent to the voice. Now you can hear her says: "I am Mona Lisa".

Dr Matsumi Suzuki also created the voice of Da Vinci himself, although he is not very confident about accuracy as compare to Mona Lisa. He says because the work was derive from only self portrait of Da Vinci. (Link)
