New York New York, 2nd time.

Well, this time, I went there with my 2 colleagues... Not very enjoying since different topics to talk with. But I had a good time with the big serving chicken chop, though still uncomparable to the SP FC 1 western chicken chop (in term of size and cost).

Hawaii Teriyaki Chicken Chop with Root Beer Float.

The chicken chop is completely juicy. And fattening. Float as usual, is my favorite.

The pepperoni pizza... Mmm average.

Waffle: chocolate and ice-cream.

Need to emphasis I am on diet!!! So, next week, no junk food! I'm gonna miss my tibits! Arghhhh!!!

My Er Biao Jie's Wedding!

Congrats to her and her hubby. Also thanks to you that I managed to have fun during the groom fetching bride session.

Arriving at my big aunt house at Muar, saturday evening.

Buffet. Table of yummies laying out waiting for me (though at my small uncle's place, I just had a very cheap big bowl of ice-kancang)...

The pails of orange really fantasied me. Weather for the day was really hot.

Makan time. While the host were waiting for the guests to turn up slowly...

Slowly, the house was packed with welcoming guests.




It's a wiser choice to stay outside as, it's breezer.

Sunday, the official wedding day.

1st stage of fun. Groom was supposed to select 10 characters from the lot given, and to paste in on a cardboard that made a sentence with his and my cousin names in it.
Difficulty: **** (Time took, 15mins?)


2nd part of stage one.
To have 9 kisses on the cardboard.
Planned to have all the brothers helped in this part. However, they are reluctant to apply lipsticks... Oh poor groom, I can say you chosen the wrong brothers! *Shake head*
Difficulty: ***** (Time took, 30mins?)


Bribing us sisters... Hahaha!!! That won't work if the amount is minial...


2nd stage was to sing love song, ensure that the bride was able to hear it. Ok, that was not that tough, as eventually, the group sang satisfactory.
Difficulty:*** (As the group took about 10mins & finally got a satisfactory love song to pleased us.)

3rd stage was to choose the key (mixed with 9 keys in a pail of freezing ice cubes) to the bride's room. And they gotta find the room the bride was in too!
Difficulty: *** (Clueless to which room the bride was staying. And they eventually got the right key at the 10th time.)





Finally!


Oh, my hair needs to be managed.


Wedding lunch...



That was fun. Food was good. Only that the fish was 2 small white promfets??? Not grouper or what... just promfets...

Ok, that's the trip to M'sia.

Hip Diners USA by Billy Bombers.

Hip Diners USA by Billy Bombers @ Bugis Junction.

11th Nov. 2008.

This is nice. Nacho Cheese dip on fries & chips.

This serving is too huge. 3 pieces of chickens. Both my friends ordering them were unable to finish.

My surf & turf. As usual, it's that great. But I had too done the steak. Hahaha... But still yummy.

Really need to cut down on these. Yesterday went Hoshii again. Though sharing with mom, but just too full eventually.

Cutting down on junk food needed.

My iPod Nano...

Today rained most of the time. Finally, it stopped in the late afternoon. Happy, cos rain rain was gone! And it's about time to pack up and go off...

Everything got soaked in this rainy storm.


My notebook is still haven't dried. See how wet the stuffs got soaked up. And, so I thought my nano would decease in this flood...

Here, I'm about to start off the incline and decline of my mood.

6 o'clock. Strike! Press the exit button and push the glass panel out. Stepped out the lab, and listened to my ipod latest Guitar Hero On Tour collection. Woah! Morning listening to the collection was hell enjoyable, strumming the guitar melodies... Phew~ Great!


However, just when I selected the Guitar Hero playlist, it hang! It HANG!

Does that mean I get a chance to buy a new nano Chromatic!
Just as I thought I could chance to Chromatic... It's just my fat hope! On board the bus, I restart nano and it works... Chek! I thought it kena water and finally give way... Omg... so so ooo sad or happy I should be??

Haiz... Can't get Chromatic but anyway can save it for my WII! Hahaha!

Weekend, Bored with nothing to do.

Haiz, no date, no plan. Just playing guitar hero nds. Listening to the great tracks in this album. Omg... manage to get all the tracks compiled. WOndinering if there is a album for consoles games. Cos the tracks are great! Wanna buy, but no idea where to get, since it's not available.

Anyway, can guess, now I am actually blogging here and there. Hahaha... writing on two blogs. Busy!

Guitar Hero NDS On Tour Decades! Waiting is like falling into hell right now for me. Can't wait to get the game. Have to admit, I am crazy over this game. Dunno why, but it's the best fun I can get from any games. Maybe I like music, I play instruments. Erm, only harmonica and recorder. I know a little chinese flute, the 笛子. I like this instrument other than my harmonicas. I got more than one harmonica.

Actually there's another harmonica, the 2nd harmonica I owned. As it's a cheap one, the plastic portion deteoriated and I had to discard it.

This is the 4th and last beauty. Larry Adler. Sounds good.



This is my 1st harmonica I recieved from my mom when I'm a kid.

This is the 3rd one I got from the school. Lousy, cheapo china brand, the slider plate got loosen and that's it. Can play the #keys.

Got this after the 3rd one is down.

A time to remembering the memoriable past.

Guitar Hero RULES! Haha...

Cute Mexican salamander .

I found this creature really interesting. It looks so cute during it's larval.
Oh, got to know it from yahoo, and did a search on it and ...

From National Geography.
The Mexican axolotl (pronounced ACK-suh-LAH-tuhl) salamander has the rare trait of retaining its larval features throughout its adult life. This condition, called neoteny, means it keeps its tadpole-like dorsal fin, which runs almost the length of its body, and its feathery external gills, which protrude from the back of its wide head.

Found exclusively in the lake complex of Xochimilco (pronounced SO-chee-MILL-koh) near Mexico City, axolotls differ from most other salamanders in that they live permanently in water. In extremely rare cases, an axolotl will progress to maturity and emerge from the water, but by and large, they are content to stay on the bottom of Xochimilco’s lakes and canals.

Close relatives of the tiger salamander, axolotls can be quite large, reaching up to a foot (30 centimeters) in length, although the average size is closer to half that. They are typically black or mottled brown, but albino and white varieties are somewhat common, particularly among captive specimens.

Axolotls are long-lived, surviving up to 15 years on a diet of mollusks, worms, insect larva, crustaceans, and some fish. Accustomed to being a top predator in its habitat, this species has begun to suffer from the introduction of large fish into its lake habitat. Natural threats include predatory birds such as herons.

Populations are in decline as the demands of nearby Mexico City have led to the draining and contamination of much of the waters of the Xochimilco Lake complex. They are also popular in the aquarium trade, and roasted axolotl is considered a delicacy in Mexico, further shrinking their numbers. They are considered a critically endangered species.



The larvae are cute. But the grown up ... oh dear! Scary though.

Type: Amphibian
Diet: Carnivore
Average lifespan in the wild: 10 to 15 years
Size: up to 12 in (30 cm)
Weight: 2.11 to 8 oz (60 to 227 g)
Did you know? Because they have the ability to regenerate lost body parts, axolotls are probably one of the most scientifically studied salamanders in the world.
