Old Wives' Tales from Mom
When I was young, my mom being a typical chinese mom will tell me things which I'm forbid to do because of certain beliefs she inherited from her mom. In another words - Old Wives' Tales that has been passed down from generation ... until it reaches me that is.
Don't hold your chopsticks too high to the end
Mom: "or else you will married far away from home."
Me: "So, if I hold it near the tip then will I marry the guy next door?" (not in a million years! that guy is a moron)
Don't leave your rice unfinished
Mom: "or else you'll have pimples all over your face."
Me: "Thanks Ma, because I turned into a 'pumpkin' after walloping the mountain of rice you gave me and still get pimples on my face =.="
Don't wash your hair on the 1st day of menstrual
Mom: "or else you will have dark circles under your eyes!"
Me: "But ma, my dark circles is there like for-evar whether I wash my hair or not!
Don't swallow your gum
Mom: "or else it'll stick to your intestines!"
Me: "Er sure Ma" (after swallowed dunno how many pieces down the throat)
Don't place the wet umbrella inside the house
Mom: "or else snakes will come in."
Me: "Huh? What does umbrella got to do with snakes?"
That's some of the tales I can still remember my mom 'warned' me about. But thank God, as she grows older she is getting wiser. It has been a long time since she lecture me on anything or perhaps she thinks it's simply a waste of time on me!
Folks, what's your tales to share?

This is Talent ... Sooo NOT!
Recently a tv station organized a beauty pageant where one of the section is that the contestants are required to show their talents during the finals. I watched the re-run and had the laugh of my life at their so called talents!
The first one performed a latin dance but she can't even remember her moves and this is the only time I watch a latin dance go slow-mo! At one point, she even hesitated on whether to lift the leg or not!
Came a second who performed kung fu moves with a sword. Her hand is not even straight when she pointed the sword forward and the only kung fu moves is just to swing the sword left, right, left, right. Pathetic.
Uh ... a sexy female bartender who tried to juggle the cocktail container and a bottle from left to right with little success. In the end she poured out the drink, set fire into the glass and pour down the in a row of martini glasses. The end.
One contestant tried to portray a kabuki dance (japanese stage play) ala Memoirs of a Geisha's style but her costume is a combination of a red lion head wig, front half portion gone kimono with white flats! She doesn't even know how to flip the fan correctly! Oh gawd -.-
As if this is not talented enough, another wanted to play a yo-yo like a pro chinese acrobat but when she tried to swing the yo-yo high up, it fells down, nearly hit her head and roll away! The audience were laughing at her.
Have you seen a belly dancer whose tummy is as flat as a washing board? This one only knows how to move her breast up and down, up and down and her belly literally didn't move at all because she doesn't have one! Geez ...
Most of us have seen the lovers (梁祝), a story about 2 lovers so deeply in love that they turned into butterflies when they died. This girl did a dance supposedly to reflect the story but her dancing is so bad that all I can recall is she end up hugging the fake tomb.
Another tried to play a trick of tearing up pieces of crumbled sin chew jit poh (newspaper) then make it into 1 piece again and claimed out loud "life is just an illusion" is so not talented. What the ... ?
Calligraphy is an art but what I've seen is the girl used a long brush to write the word 海洋 (ocean) in chinese and that piece look like a 2 year old handwriting to me.
The winner stole the idea from the HK variety show. The concept is a kung fu fighting dwarf. What you need is another partner and use his hand to performed the moves but you cannot see him. Only the main person's face can be seen and she will use her hand as leg instead. It's all about coordination between the 2 persons. Nothing special to me but since the rest are all crap, I guess this is it.
Ok I'm being a bit sarcastic here but come on ... as an organizer, they should never show this to the general public and make it a laughing stock! I believe beauty and brains do come hand-in-hand but guess not these bunch of jokers!

Just Chicken Rice
One of my favorite food is chicken rice. A good plate of chicken rice is enough to warm the stomach.
Finding a chicken rice stall in KL is as easy as throwing a stone to see which one it hits. It can be found at every corner where there is food. And we all know that Singapore is famous for it's Hainanese chicken rice and has been labeled as their 'national dish' even before our Tourism Minister decided to have a 'food fight' with the neighboring country to get the rights of which dish is origins from Malaysia.
I've been visiting Singapore lately and tried Boon Tong Kee's Hainanese chicken rice.
The appetizer.
The pyramid shaped rice which is fluffy and fragrant. I can eat this alone without the chicken!
The chicken meat is smooth and tender.
There are other dishes to try like their famous tofu which is coated with a thin layered of crispy batter (forgot to snap a shot) and variety type of vegetables to balance the meal.
Boon Tong Kee is located at Bukit Timah along Cheong Chin Nam Road. Have a meal there if you are heading for Singapore next time. I'll be back for a second visit :)

Funny Pictures
Sorry folks, as I've not been updating Live2Talk. Things are not exactly going smoothly on my life as I'm now looking for another job as I've quit my last one after enduring for the longest time. But I'll stay positive and have faith in God that He will show me the 'window'.
Here's my take on the following pictures taken from the world wide web :)
What? Never seen a bad hair day before?
Can't you see I'm in a war here you moron! Stop humping me!
When are we getting outta here mate?
Uh la la ... this is so relaxing after looking cute the whole day.
We serve GOD.
