The One With Obama in Town

Image
Wow... Has it been that long I've never updated my blog? ;) Let's see... Oh, Obama is in town. Yah.. Who doesn't know. Not like the one who put a "super injunction" on what he thinks he can cover up and thought, it's still 1980s... Dear Ryan, it's 2011 and the news we read on the paper every morning is at least 6 hours outdated! :) I think I've said this once too many. Back to Barrack, son of Obama. Of course every news and every channel will talk about him. And probably the best time for Ryan where all the news about this son of Obama will buried his intention to cover up. And wonder if he will be playing for the Champions League tomorrow? My prediction, 2-1 to Barca :) And being England, UK or Great Britain. No news is bigger than fashion. Yup... Forget about what's the whole purpose of these Yankees came with an entourage of apparently over a thousand (can't blame them as that poor fellar, son of Bin Laden was recently been "termi...

The One With ICELAND

Image
Before embarking to this Island up north, I thought after experiencing London's winter for 5 years I should be able to handle the temperature between 5-8 degree. Little did I expect, we could faced 4 seasons within 60 minutes and it goes on for the whole day! And the wind... gosh. And of all things I brought along, I've left my glove at home! And after continuous hail, sleet, rain, sun and of course STRONG WIND, this is what we got :) As I told my wife, "never stay too long to leave our emotion behind the country..." and after a few nights in this wonderful country, both of us were immensely captivated by the natural beauty of this very low density Island up north near Greenland :) For future reference, these are the things that we learn about Iceland; 1) The exchange rate is ISK180 to GBP1 (April 2011, Yup... throughout the trip we were like thinking an exchange rate which is far from what's the real exchange rate is ;) 2) They accept Credit card EVERYW...

The One With Another Easter, Another Year

Image
It's kinda scary to realise that we are already in April and by the time most of the people in the UK go back to work, it's already 2nd May 2011 ;) Yup... 5 months have pass and what have we done so far in 2011?? :) Nothing much I'm sure many will quietly tell themselves ;) But I'm sure no one will disagree with me that so far 2011 hasn't turn out to be a good year, yet. Taking this opportunity I would like to send my sincere regards to all my colleagues in Japan and although all replied back saying that no close relatives or friends was "affected" (which I'm glad to hear). But I think no one is not affected at all by this shocking news that shocked the World. And yet, while many people are trying their best to save lives and rebuild their country, these blardy people in the Middle East (yah.. Libya) are trying so hard to KILL others. Haihh.... In this World where someone can afford 136 million pounds to buy an "apartment" in Hyde Park,...

The One With My Favourite Song, My Favourite Singer...

I think, no introduction can do justice to this song ;) Jacky Cheung's version of My Way.

The One With Shuen's & Sophea's First Candle

Image
At my age (ah hemmm..), among my friends there are many of their children who are already in primary school and some even I think already in early secondary school. And they said, looking at these kids grow up will make you feel old... Not me ;) Not until NOW! Oh gosh... We came to know these little kids even before they were born. Some, we were with their parents choosing their cloths, milk bottles, preparing their car child seat for their first journey home or even ensuring what food not to eat ;) And when you see them blow their very first candle in their life, YUP... Uncle Wong is getting more "uncle" ;) Happy birthday to Shuen... And of course belated birthday to Sophea...

The One On The Most "Easternly" England

Image
Yup... What else to do on a beautiful Saturday but to drive 130 miles on the journey to the East ;) And this time, the most eastern point of the mainland England - Lowestoft Ness. Journey was OK, but when we traveled to the west, we saw lots of sheep and cows. This time, there were lots of PIGS!!! hmmm... wonder why. So, we have made it to all the extreme points of ENGLAND!!! Yay....

The Pad That Redefine "i"

Image
Stop me if you have not heard about this cos every time when Apple is having an event, it rattle the tech industry so hard even if you are remotely connected to it you will feel it's magnitude. The built up to all these events will always be the rumour mills to the supposedly leaked pictures of the new product and even to the extend that the analysts will start monitoring the stock level in the market for all those parts relating to the rumoured products. Let's get back to the "pad". I still remember when they first launched the product about a year ago. Remember that funny video about the "pad"? :) remember how those "netbooks" maker were trying to laugh off this new category of product? Not to mentioned many more suspicious fence sitters (including myself) thinking what shall we do with this "pad". Whose laughing now huh? :) I'm not going into the tech specs of the iPad 2. Because it's everywhere on the Internet. ...
