On the Perak FROG crisis!!!

ScreenCap of the game

I'm a Generation X'er tried & true... Those of you , you know who u are. U had the pleasure of having played with PC's that run on tape drive & TV, booting up in MS-DOS, 286-386 machines with 5.25" floppys & 4GB HDD's, What Windows???, moonbugs, xenon, leisure suite larry, police quest, kings quest, decathlon, karateka, bushido, etc, etc...

Anyways before i veer further off topic, i would jus like for us to remember an old game called FROGGER!!! Reflect on this game and maybe it will put some perspective on the frog situation in the Silver state... LOL..

For those who dunno about the gameplay, its a frog trying to cross the street & river while avoiding moving traffic & obstacles... if the frog gets hit or lands on the wrong place u die lo!!!

Of temples, tea & sakura..

A little town fair for the Tea Festival, sale of tea & hilltribe cultural shows.

My apologies for not updating my blog for quite awhile. I have been away & busy with looking for work and also enjoying the loooooooong holidays...

For NYE2008 i spent it at Mae Sa Long, a little hill village about 45minutes from Chiang Rai, Thailand. A different kinda NYE, as opposed to goin clubbin or reveling in the city. We spent NYE having a bbq & drinks in the little bamboo shed/platform right up front Shiao Shung & CheChe's house. Of course not to forget my favourite NYE activity setting off lanterns (though i think i was not sober enough to remember my camera at that time).. :D

Mae Sa Long was COLD!!! I think in the evenings it'd be like 16 degrees celsius. This area is largely populated by Chinese community, mostly descendants of the Kuomintang army from the time when the the Kuomintang & Communist were fighting in China. U still see those caligraphy words stuck on the wooden plank doors & red cloths hanging over the doorway.

The Thai Palace i believe had launched a project in this area to help the ppl residing here change their maincrop from poppy to chinese tea. Today this is a region with numerous tea plantations, surprisingly(or not) they grow chinese tea for export markets like Taiwan. Don't be surprised if u chance upon ppl speakin mandarin to each other... ;-)

Merry Christmas Happy New Year!!

Wishing u season greetings n a many blessings for the new year!!

These KiWi Guys are BRILLIANT!!!

Flight of the Conchords intertitle from Wikipedia

Lately been checking "Flight of the Conchords"!!!

F@#KIN BRILLIANT!!!

From Wikipedia :
Flight of the Conchords is an Emmy Award-nominated ^[1] television comedy series that follows the adventures of the Flight of the Conchords, a folk duo from New Zealand, as its members seek fame and success in New York City. The show portrays a fictionalized version of the real-life duo, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, who play themselves.

Kudos to the Kiwis. Have to say that the Kiwis have always been rather unique to me, possibily because i was there at an impressionable age (NOT). But these 2 guys really show creativity unique to the Kiwis. Well, just my personal opinion.

But i shall say no more.. CHECK THEM OUT!!
