Impossible not to love

Oh Darling, have I told you lately just how much I love and adore you? ;)

You are my favorite food-hunt companion!

When I'm with you, things will never get dull or dreary, because you are ever so bubbly and brimming with zest :)

You once commented that we eat non-stop when we are together, and reckoned I'm trying to feed you rounder so nobody else but me, will like you...

...But you so cute, how can I not be possessive? Forgive me for my unscrupulous methods my darling, heh heh heh :D

Ah boon's analogy

We went fishing at PRP today. Four of us this time - Dad, Ah Boy, Ah Boon and myself, each armed with a rod.

It definitely wasn't a good day for fishing. All day it was an overcast sky with intermittent showers which only subsided near dusk time. The number of fishes released into the pond must have been curtailed too, in the wake of the hefty fine slapped on the pond management over the recent Dengue violations. Bite rates were poor all around the pond, and it was also by no coincidence, the lowest turn out of anglers at PRP I've ever seen.

Of course we weren't spared the ill luck which seemed to have blanketed the whole place in a kind of an angler's curse. 4 rods, 9 hours and only 4 fishes to account for. Though I really don't have the rights to whine, because I got to fight two medium GTs and a small "Ang Gueh". But at the end of the day, our overall catch simply just don't justify the amount of money we had paid to fish. In fact, this was what had prompted Boon Chong to come up with the analogy which I'm about to share with you. In his own words:

"Going to a pay pond and not catching anything is just wrong. It's like going to a prostitute and not being able to come."

Damn right.

Jesus, it's He-Man!

I have stumbled upon a universal truth (while surfing the internet at work)!

In the pictures which follow, you will discover that good old Jesus, he is actually very righteous about how the children of god, epitomized here by He-Man the indisputable Alpha-Male of Humankind, should NOT be denied the abundant rewards that can be reaped from a nice little hemp joint!

Batam trip june '07

Well… What story is there to a simple Batam trip?

Over the course of those 3 days, we didn't visit a single touristy landmark, because there were absolutely none to begin with. Nor did we trek through any exciting Indonesian nature spots, because our surrounding lands were desolate as far as my squinted eyes could perceive. We even eschewed the idea of trawling for bargains in vast malls and bazaars, plainly because the city district was too far out of the way for us. And your impatient question now, marked by an incredulous face, must be what exactly did we do there all this time???

We feasted, and we gorged, then we snacked some more. I remembered once remarking how stuffed I still felt from the last meal, but my mind was already picturing the next, and all this while my hand dipped ceaselessly into a bag of chips like a vulture's beak picking at carcass haha.

This may not be Hara Bagus, but it's Dim Sum Sedap nonetheless!

We found this bastard child of the Pizza and a Curry Puff here, which turned out to be indeed quite tasty.

She always complains I'm feeding her to become rounder and rounder, but see how wide she grins when the Teppanyaki chef served! :)

Each of those dumplings has two succulent prawns wrapped up inside them, just look, it's as large as her cheek! :D

And when we aren't stuffing ourselves silly, we look to the buzzing itinerary we had planned. Which, as you might have guessed, is mostly centered around doing nothing haha.

Reading leisurely by the poolside under a pleasantly toasty sun...

...then taking long afternoon naps, followed by sumptuous dinner spreads. That's resort life :)

This picture always makes me uneasy, then one day it dawned on me that pairing hairy legs and fingernail painting together in a picture has triggered off the subconcious response similar to that of seeing a Changi Bapok.

We drew on each other two very hardy animals to symbolise the stable and enduring love we share, something like the Branchel's pair of couple watches if you will. Though I do admit that a crudely drawn tortoise and cockroach aren't the best of representations...haha.

Violence on the TV

Don't ask me, I just think it's hilarious.
