More Angrybirds!

The entire tissue family have gone to the birds. Angrybirds, that is.

Tissue packets of 2 different types, wet facial wipes and facial tissue.

Green piggy missing. Awwwww....

Angrybirds hitting out your flu bug!

Angrybirds everywhere. Packed in tissue packets, they will whacked your flu bugs away.

They are giving Pooh Bear and Mickey Mouse a run for their money.

As seen at Watsons.

Beep!

Yesterday after post op & recharge. After 15 min : *BEEP!*

Ah, the sweet sound of the iPhone starting up.

Today, the phone is still working. Hopefully it would still keep working.

Old TV from the 80s!

An old Hitachi TV from the 80s.

Still working.

Saw it at the Red Crescent Center in Kuching.

My late Granpa had one long ago. I remember fiddling with the buttons. No remote control then. :)

The Most Innocent Looking Book...NOT!

Website : http://www.howyouknow.my


It will make you laugh, cry and think about family and life. No way can this book be that innocent.

It is lethal because it will pull your heartstrights.

Best read for 2012. Must read. Got mine at Times Bookstore at The Hills, Kuching.

Ever wondered how those Petronas Merdeka ads are made? It is all due to this lady, Yasmin Ahmad. She made commercials for mums and dads.

Why I said that? Get hold of the book.

Currently available online at MPHOnline. (Hint: Hurry up Amazon!)

Official Booklaunch :
28 August 2012 10 am
Kinokuniya Bookstore, KLCC

Below is my all time favorite commercial by the late Yasmin Ahmad (Wikipaedia).


My favourite quote in the book : 

For Mak & Abah, and to hang out with friends.



Cinematic Clouds

Who says you have to live in holiday places to get awesome movie skylines?

Quickie snapshots at traffic light junction, stitched together with Photosynth App.

Then traffic light changed color.

Doh! Still, it was a sign of rainclouds to come.

Shirtless : Common Sight in an Asian Home

My uncle and his spanking new DELL desktop. Common sight at home since it is pretty hot during daytime of the dry tropical season.

Family pics. Hee hee!

Hello Kitty Meow-meow

Hello Kitty calculator. There is a shop selling cheaply prices Hello Kitty merchandise from China. So I got one, hoping that people from the office wouldn't take it.

It turned out to be the reverse. I now know who are the Hello Kitty fans now at work. Age is not a barrier.

Traditional cooking

Stand a bit further from object and snap. Traditional chicken pastry from chicken fat. From Perak, Malaysia, brought over by my colleague's grandparents.

It's not fried chicken that is tasty. It's the FAT.

Two tortoise

An evening picture of two tortoise who were very wary of coming out of their shell. Both are still in my Granny's garden.

Somewhere.

They move extremely fast. Very very fast when they want to escape!

Two generations

Back view of my Mum and her Mum (my Granny). Very traditional outfit that was more cooling than what I was wearing in the hot humidity. Picture taken in the evening light.

Food distracts!

People get more attracted AND distracted with my food pictures, irregardless whether my picture is focused or not. Wild boar stir-fried with ginger, shallots and soy sauce.

Old freebies

An old Guinness clock in the middle of rural Sarawak countryside. Any time is a Guinness time. Thumbs up!

App for Panoramic View

Using Photosynth for stitching the pictures together. A picture of a Sarakian village. The restaurant owner is a Chinese living in the only concrete building in Tebakang, Serian, Sarawak.

Use great scenery

One thing about handphone cameras is that one needs a lot of sunlight. Another thing is a great scenery so that people will be stunned by nature's beauty irregardless of picture quality.
