Poof Gone The Whopper

Grabbed this when I was loitering yet again at Qiqi’s blog. She makes very tempting cakes. She promised to share some cake with me when she gets her oven. I am waiting… patiently.

Oh… sorry. Bit off course. Here is a video I watched and really think that it’s great. Burger King took up the idea and just went ahead and punk’d their own customers. Yeah… it’s reality tv + hidden camera concept that we have been fed over the past few years. Just see the people’s reaction towards the discontinuation of their much loved Whopper. Can you see the injustice plastered over their faces? Haha… Damn it makes me wanna have a Whopper myself too.

Joseph Arthur + Frank Bell

This is the initial musician that I wanted to blog about right before Damien Rice hit me again.
I only have three song of his on my playlist and Echo Park is one that I like a lot. In The Sun is a popular song from Joseph Arthur which gets a lot of exposure in TV Series like the L Word, Scrubs and bla bla bla.
Diverse artist with different styles and always experimenting. Well the fact that he is also an artist and sculptor just made me raise my brows just a wee bit. I am hooked on most of his older songs. The newer ones I think I need some adjusting too. Oh Joseph Arthur does reminds me of John Lennon + Noel Gallagher.

Echo Park – Live

Another song I would love you guys to check out is Honey and The Moon. It’s a song featured in The O.C. Pardon the video feed though the audio is quite good.

Patung Koyak

Am feeling a little thrashed right now.
Spent a few hours in Batu Caves climbing with  them and I only did 3 routes. One simple one but the other two really exhausted me. Hung at 20m of a 6B crux and after several attempts I gave up. Battery no more strength. Spent about 25 minutes or more on that. Now I am feeling the backlash on my forearms and back.
And good news is I knocked up my back on the door frame when I tried to squat down to check out the bunny. Argh.
Luckily for me, it’s the weekend in seven hours time.

Picture picture picture…

Ha… a month from now and I will be back in my hometown pigging out and relaxing with my family and friends. And during this time too, mahjong tiles and poker cards will be somewhat the stars of the evening till early morning. It’s during this time of the year my cousins will be back with a vengeance. All out for each other… a free for all. Mostly… I feel are out to get me. To bleed me dry… Yeah yeah… I am not a good mahjong player. Nope not a card fan too.

But my occasional venture in the online poker arena does tell me otherwise. Well, not BIG money but better than being gutted and laughed at by little cousins right? Haha… anyway it was fun playing with them… for it was more relaxing and not those palpitating moments one would have when visiting the casinos that good old Uncle Lim brought us.
