Mother's birthday


We celebrated mother's birthday the other day.

Thinking of this, this is actually the time I can celebrate with her at the same place since 1996. Most the time I am not around. Mother is 60 yrs old this year. Sometimes when I flipped through photos, I can't really imagine the years that people been through.

When you get a chance to do something, do it.

Pagoh - visiting father's hometown

We spent a half day to visit Pagoh the other day. Pagoh is father's hometown back in the late 1939. This small town (in Johor) is located about 30 min south of Muar. That was actually the first time I went there.

The town is small, maybe a few blocks of streets (downtown) and some houses around. Other than that, mostly are farms like rubber trees, palm trees, fruits farms...

Father's friend called up some other friends to make it as their elementary school friends' gathering, that made the trip colorful for father. Some friends, he didn't even meet since he left Pagoh (when he was about 10).

Seeing them talking about old time, like running through people's farms to steal fruits, swimming in the river, hidding in the farm from the Jap attack (WW2), .. etc is like listening to history.

This is a wonderful trip to me.



The empty land (house no longer there) used to be the house that father lived.


Old friends chit chat... :)

D13 Durian - Bam! Have not tried Durian for years!

Seeing all this, reminds me to cherish what I have now. Time flies, when it goes by, it won't come back.

No wonder they look so familiar...

I am out for my annual vacation now... yeah. Best ever feeling once a year.

On the plane for over 13 hours and finally landed HK. Waited for 2 hours to transit to KL home town.

During the time at HK airport, I saw a few good looking women walked by me with eye contact. Somehow, I kept my cool and didn't act like "whoa.. pretty woman" like that. I think they probably think, "damn... you don't know who I am, why didn't you ask me for autograph?" They look familiar but I can't think of who they are. Flipped through newspaper when I got home, ooo... HK actors and actress to KL for some award ceremony thing.

Sher Shi Man and Guo Xian Ni were the two had eye contact with me but I didn't know who they were :P...
At baggage claim area, I did recognize one actress: Li Zhi. man.. she looks gorgeous. Too bad that my hands were occupied (by luggages) and not able to take some pictur

Kopi and Koko returned to Cincinnati


Kopi and Koko stayed with me for 2 months so fast (due to sister's Asia trip). Now, sister is back, they returned too. Woke up 4am this morning to send them to SFO airport this morning. The ride with their sad meows, made me feel sad too.

Yea, I think I will miss them for a while. Most the time Kopi will sit on the second floor wall and look down with popping out his 2 ears and Koko will normally sit at the dining floor stair.

With their departure, I thought about this song from Jay Chou:

我会发着呆然后忘记你, 接着紧紧闭上眼

想着那一天会有人代替, 让我不再想念你

BengWRX - Black on Black version = ??

With my benghood in the blood, I zhng-ed my car for sometimes as some of you might have known.
Here is one version I have:
BengWRX - Black on Black version

BengWRX Black on Black version ingredient:
- Black color body (to start with)
- Black rims
- Black tinted windows
- Plus a big big exhaust (Durian also can go in those type).

With this, what do you get? You will get a ABOUT-TO-GET-BUSTED-BY-COPS-RIDE :).
