Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Santa lives at the North Pole
Jesus is everywhere

Santa rides in a sleigh
Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water

Santa comes but once a year
Jesus is an ever present help

Santa fills your stockings with goodies
Jesus supplies all your needs

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
Jesus stands at your door and knocks ... and then enters your heart

You have to stand in line to see Santa
Jesus is as close as the mention of His name

Santa lets you sit on his lap
Jesus lets you rest in His arms

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
Jesus has a heart full of love

All Santa can offer is HO-HO-HO
Jesus offers health, help and hope

Santa says, "You better not cry"
Jesus says, "Cast all your troubles & worries on me"

Santa's little helpers make toys

Jesus makes new life, mends wounded hearts and repairs broken homes

Santa may make you chuckle but
Jesus gives you joy that is your strength

While Santa puts gifts under your tree
Jesus became our gift and died on the cross

It's obvious there is really no comparison

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about

We need to put Christ in right place during Christmas

May the Lord bless and watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas.

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 :)

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.

It's a concert for goodness sake

I went with my cousin bro and sister to watch Eason Chan's 陈奕迅 Moving On Stage 26 at the Sunway Lagoon Resort couple of weeks back. Malaysia is the final stop for his world tour which started in 2007 with Stage 1 in Hong Kong.


It's free standing for all price range except the VIP seat which is far far far behind the stage (usually these seats are the cheapest but I guess if you are in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach then it's the total opposite). We are lucky to grab front rows (directly behind the 2nd most expensive tickets) and the view is near, very near. We stood for a good 3 hours screaming our lungs out, singing and dancing with weird moves! Thanks bro for inviting us and your generous treats :D


The concert started at 8.00 pm sharp with some guest performers before Eason finally appeared singing his first song K歌之王. He performed a total of 28 songs with a 40 mins encore session. I love the medley of songs kings of cantopop (i.e. Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai). The dancers are great and there's one from Japan is a REAL hot chick! My cousin brother was drolling at her ;P

At the end of the concert, there was a display of fireworks to our delight. A truly worth-it concert which rocked the house down!


Besides a short review of the concert, what I wanted to share is the type of people who go for concert. The thing about concert is that we should at least clap if you can't sing along with the singer. How about moving along with the rhythms. I've been to quite a number of concerts and have a collection of concerts DVD. Unfortunately, most of the Malaysian audience are 'dead wood'. They watched the whole concert with no emotion. They don't clap, wave, laugh, sing or dance. They just stood there with a 'what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here' expression! Gawd!


Then there are those who bought VIP tickets but strolled in 1 hour after the concert stated and blocked others view by towing their kids and parents along. This is not some chinese wedding dinner where they don't serve before all the tables are full! Have some sense of punctuality will ya! And the same bunch will strolled out 1 hour before the concert ends. Personally, I think you don't respect the singer by walking out before the concert ends. Why don't you pathetic people just stay at home instead? =.=


The most uncivilized behavior of the Malaysian audience is to throw their glowing sticks or the waving board up to the singer when he bows to say goodbye! Are you high on drugs or what you hooligans!


I really hope our fellow Malaysians can be more sporting when comes to concert because it's really embarrassing when the singer commented that 'we are a bunch of no reaction audience'!

Here's a clip of the concert for you good folks out there.

You Want This Job?

A HR manager from a company which build the biggest shopping mall in town called me up offering a job. I went for the interview last year and instead of offering me the position I was interested in, she hard sell me another job. This afternoon she called again offering the same job. What kind of job?

HR: You came for the interview last year and I'm calling to see if you are interested in a job.
Me: What kind of job?
HR: Are you still single or married?
Me: I'm single.
HR: Are you happy in your current job?
Me: Not really.
HR: This job is actually a personal assistant job, er well not exactly personal assistant but your job is to assist our deputy chairman, Datin XXX in preparing all the documents and accompany her to overseas trip.

* sound glamorous eh? can go traveling ... let's see*

Me: Right ...
HR: Basically you need to standby at any hour of the day, get her things done immediately because she cannot tolerate any slackness, you need to prepare presentations, reports and must write very well. Are you good in computer?
Me: I know how to use the PC.
HR: Datin requires her assistant to work even during weekends if she needs to get things done. You cannot say it's a Sunday and you need to rest. She can't take it.
Me: So how often do I require to travel with her?
HR: She doesn't always need you. But once you are traveling with her, you need to pack her luggage and arrange all the necessary travel documents. You have to accompany her to attend all meetings and tend to her every needs.
Me: Right!
HR: So is this the job you want?
Me: NO!
HR: Oh ... then I guess it's ok.
Me: Anyway, thanks for calling.
HR: Okay bye.
Me: Bye (I seriously wanted to ask if she would take up the job if she is me)

From my previous interview, she mentioned to me that this Datin failed to hire any personal assistant since the last one left to get married. Apparently she has some medical problems and needs to go to US for check up. The assistant needs to accompany her to the hospital, get her medicine, stocked-up the fridge (as she has a house in US) and just be the stand-by maid for 24/7 and sometimes might need to do cooking. This assistant do not have any permanent desk or office anywhere. The pay? Fantastically LOW!

I don't like my job but I'm NOT that desperate -.-

Now, who wants this job? I can give you the number to the HR manager who is having a hard time finding the PhD qualified-computer programmer-hardworking like an indon maid type of super assistant who she hopes will not get married for life!

This is exactly how I'm feeling now! Gawd I hate doing what I'm doing ... $$$ is no longer an inspiration to work and every morning is like a struggle to crawl out from bed and to that 'sucking' office! I really envy those who found that dream job. You nailed it folks. I'm still searching for that nail -.-

Goodbye Precious Pea ... till we meet again

Precious Pea left for Melbourne yesterday afternoon to fulfill her PR duty for 2 years.

Our relationship started as normal colleague when she joined my ex-company in 2002. She is the quiet girl who sat besides me in our partitioned pigeon space with zero degree of separation. Eventually we grow to became close friends when we discovered our common 'interests' (psst, you know what right?) ;P

She encouraged me to start my own blog and suggested the name 'Live2Talk'.

She invited me along to choose her wedding gown. I witnessed how she endured the protein diet and exercise to fit into that wedding dress she desired (it's a torturous process for someone who is so passionate about food). She looks like a million bucks (just like any other bride) in the gown, not because of the smaller body size but of the glow of happiness on her face.


Our first trip together was in 2003 when we both went to Hong Kong for the first time. We LOL when our accommodation, the Dorsett Seaview Hotel located at Kowloon Yaumatei is so tiny that the TV is hanging from the ceiling! When we opened the blinds, the only view is rooftop and no sea anywhere even with a binocular! We shopped, dined and walked from sunrise to way past sunset until our feet smells like the famous snack stinky tofu 臭豆腐 when we removed our shoes! What fun it was!


She introduced me to the world of food. Crabs especially. I learned how to make glutinous rice with chicken from her and also many more recipes which she generously shared with me. That's how I discovered the creative side of her cooking.


Many years back while I was at her sister's place in Melbourne, she told me in tears over the phone that her first dog, a white spitz name Samuel ran off from home and she has been frantically searching for him at the neighborhood without any trace. I can feel how devastated she was at that time.

I've heard unlimited times how she wanted to buy that husky, chow-chow, shar pei, miniature schnauzer every time she saw those breeds on sale. But Papa Wong will not allow it and her hope will be smashed until she saw another breed on sale.

Pea is a gem she discovered with a good deal and he has always been special to her even after Pumpkin came along. I went with her to picked up little cute puppy Pumpkin from the pet shop without realizing he will turn into a naughty brad when he grows older :) Leaving the boys behind is hard and tears drenching for her but she has to bear the pain for now until the 'family reunion' later (be strong sweetie).


Together we shared many memorable moments and we will continue our friendship through MSN, fb, emails for now.

I'll miss you my dear friend and till we meet again, I wish you all the best in your new journey.

Quote of the Day - 30 June 2009

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” - Michael Jackson, King of Pop (1958 - 2009)

Tribute to A Legend, An Icon

He was the first African American singer I listen to while growing up.

He was my first western idol.

He was the first singer who showed us what is a moonwalk.

He was unique in his own way.

He was the greatest entertainer we ever seen.

He blew me away with his moves.

I went to watch his one and only concert held in KL, although his figure is very tiny due to my 'mountain top' seat, just being there felt like a million bucks!

When I listen to songs like "Billie Jean", "Thriller" or "We are the World", I feel that my body will move along with the rhythm.

He created tsunami wherever he goes.

I don't give a damn what the media labeled him or how people said that he messed up his own life (and that's none of your business anyway), his glorious moments as Michael Jackson will live on forever as he leaves behind a tremendous legacy.

He will forever be the King of Pop in music history.

Rest In Peace, MJ.
