一百万 (黄一飞)

若是我有一百万 一百万
我有一百万 一世人就轻松
无讲无人知 讲到真 paiseh
吃甲彼呢大汉 搁不曾坐飞机
打拼彼多年 无车无厝搁无爱人
看人娶某搁做生意 有钱搁有势

若是我有一百万 我要坐飞机 我要游世界
HAWAII 晒太阳 JAPAN 吃寿司
若是我有一百万 我要买车买厝山珍甲海味
啥人卡福气来乎我做某
若是我有一百万 一百万
若是你有欠用钱 开嘴免客气

若是我有一百万 我要坐飞机 我要游世界
ITALY 饮 Coffee 路边吃 Spaghetti
若是我有一百万 我要买车买厝买店来收租
间间免做工 带狗去散步
若是我有一百万 一百万
若是你有欠用钱 开嘴免客气

若是我有一百万 一百万
十千八千拿去用 免还嘛无问题
若是我有一百万 一百万
念白：Wai, 朋友啊，你想一百万真多啊！

Longkang Date

*Warning : Sampat & Cheong Hei Post*

The story started with the unfortunate porky foot in a foreign land. Those who still catch no balls can read the details here.

The following day... Meeting Angel & LB. We found a new way of eating Vinegar Pork Knuckles, not with rice but together with Duck Egg Char Koay Teow. Geng leh? The dreadful hot weather was back. So hot can die.. We all minimise talking to prevent dehydration and to avoid from pengsan. After lunch, it's time to tapao Penang Assam Laksa, lormaikai, siew mai and one big curry puff for the injured ECL.

The happy (and hungry) ECL savouring the hot and spicy penang assam laksa inside the 1st class air conditioned room, and summore on the bed. So syiok.. Summore with free room service. We had a free demonstration how she hopped around in the room (Reminds me of the kangaroo. Shhhhhh...)

Following that, it's time for free show. Watching the free demonstration of the hilarious and stylish synchronised Olympic G Hotel Pool swimming. So funny can die. And we almost witnessed a free stripping show in the pool. Tick Tock Tick Tock... It's time for the "Add Salt" shopping trip. Mmmm.. The Giordano Outlet doesn't provide free salt, but they are generous enough to provide the priceless free "Air" with the split giordano polo (good to wear in hot weather mah, so thoughtful, huh?). Hahahahaha...

Visiting StarBucks is a MUST - somehow there was an unexpected magic show, and the supposedly tea was transformed into chocolate drink, courtesy of.. you know who.. Hahhaha. There were 3 antisocial people, sitting together at one table - never talk to each other but busy surfing online with the free WiFi. The story continues... and the highlight was the Small One hah, Not Big One joke. And not forgetting the "Ah Girl who walked to and fro several times in front of Star Bucks (She lost her way kua?).

Following that, it's the Lomantic Gurney Drive dinner.. The Emperor really brought rain to Penang. While we were happily eating Lormaikai, the 2nd class Penang Assam Laksa, savouring Penang Rojak (with the mysterious tungku?), Sweet Apom and slurping Soya Bean drinks, it started raining cats and dogs raining Liucat and Ah Boy. Stormy, stormy night, which doesn't stop someone from camwhoring.. We can still drool at the Lok Lok as Angel and I stood next to the Lok Lok stall for almost half an hour waiting for the rain to stop. Such a wet and sticky night... And the makan trip continued.. Loh Bak and Tofufah. I can heard someone echoing hungwee hungwee from afar in the middle of the night. MORE FOOD !!!!

The following morning is the Dimsum day in town - Lormaikai, Hor Yip Fann, Har Kau, Siew Mai, Char Siew Pao, Fei Chu Yoke or Sio Tu Bak and several dunno wat name weird stuff. Egg Tart and Yam Puff was out of stock woh... Bawl.

With hor yip fann and lormaikai fighting sitting side by side. Who is the ultimate winner?

Since no tungku siew pai kuat, Ah Boy had his fair share of Char Siew Pao & Char Siew Bun in return. And not only that....

He gets a free session of whole body massage leh, tickling and scratching and massaging.. courtesy of Angel and LB. Si Beh Syiok..

The long awaited Longkang Laksa Date finally arrived- a date which was planned since 2006. Long queue awaiting for the yummy treat in Air Itam Market... Luckily we dun have to squat by the longkang to savour the 1st class laksa, which goes well together with the Kepala Kelapa aka Coco-nuke drink.

Curry Mee? Ais Kacang? Nope... Must reserve some space in the single compartment tummy for Penang Road famous Teochew Chendol. How nice if we have 4 compartment tummy, as the MOo MoO? Tapao 2 more packets of mouth watering laksa back to the hotel.. And one big bunch of Penang Rambutan. Too bad have to give a miss to the lao hao sui Balik Pulau Durian.

After we hantam the famous Penang Chendol off Penang Road, the sky 'changed colour' within few minutes - which resembles chameleon. Good Bye to Mr Sun and a reluctant Hello to Mr Rain. Thank God we managed to reach the car on time before it started pouring, else will be soaked in the rain once again. The uplifting her koh smell inside the car and the lift.. And not forgetting the "phantom" durian incidence in the lift.. Really See Ghost. Kkkkkk.. Nope, we didn't tapao liulian back to the hotel :P

Another session of sampat Mono-The-Poly game on Palm Tx. We played the similar game almost a year ago, except this time Maymay was not around. Too bad... The defending champion struck again.*Ahem*, *paiseh*. Abuthen, that was a 101% fair game, guarantee no ti(p)u wan and no see ghost. Scottie Dog token really brings luck, that's why i always choose it as my token for Monopoly - my all time favourite ;)

Awaiting for Bernard from Sg Petani to join us for dinner. Somehow, he got stuck with an emergency surgery - Laparatomy for Mesenteric Artery Embolism. The supposed 7 pm dinner appointment had to be postponed till dunno when.. This time the lapar-atomy really made us lapar kaw-kaw liao. Tick Tock Tick Tock.. Everyone was super hungry liao.. The emperor had no choice but to beg for few rambutans from ECL's hubby. Kkkkkkkkkkkkk....

Called Bernard at 9 pm and found out he had just finished his case, but he was still inside ICU in Sg Petani. He suggested we had our meal first while waiting for his arrival, in an hour's time. It's time to sampat inside Chili's and have gastro resuscitation while waiting for Bernard's arrival. The exhausted Bernard nearly tripped on arrival when we waved at him from inside Chili's. He was too happy kua? or too hungry? or too tired? Luckily he didn't injured his leg, else really no eyes see.

Another session of crapping but we were not the most noisy wan, since there was an ongoing live drama next door... Someone was tempted to take photo of the explosive scene and blogged about it but too bad she was sitting and facing the opposite way. And not forgetting the Tu Kar talk before we finally called it a day.

* No See Ghost
- but at least get to see the Pork Knuckles...
* No Ice Blended Durian
- but at least get to smell the durians from afar (so far yet so near)...
* No sinful Gourmet Bak Kwa
- but at least get to taste the plain soup BKT with sam chan yoke...
* And No Flying Peanuts either...

Introducing the cute and adorable Wheat Grass Baby (from Cameron Highlands)..

The Final Product after several days - The Hairy Grass Baby with long, spikey green-coloured "hair".. The person who invented the Wheat Grass Baby is indeed creative.

p/s:The sampat Winn joked with me 2 years back regarding the grass babies. She mentioned that Svenson and Yun Nam Haircare can adopt this grass baby as their spoke person. LOL

Can grow back?

Several days back, I saw a male patient in the clinic. The poor chap has carcinoma of the penis (or in layman term, cancer of penis) with partial amputation of the penis done several months back. The wound and the stump was healing well. After asking some relevant questions and examined the patient, he asked me one question towards the end.

Patient : Doctor, "that place" can still grow back or not?
Me : (Thinking inside my heart - wah.. cut liao how to grow back woh?)
Me : Nope, cannot lah..
Me : (Wanting to tell him if hand or leg kena amputate, will it grow back ah?)
(The actual conversation was in Malay language).

I believe deep inside his heart, he knows the truth and the answer to his question, but he still dowan to give up "hope" kua? Hopefully someone will give him a different answer or something that he loves to hear? The truth really hurts, huh? Aiyh.....

Although I have several tiny-related theme photos, but I love this picture the most. The normal-sized Chicken Egg looks huge in comparison with the vulnerable teeny-tiny mini Lizard Egg.

Gigantic Sotong

**This post is dedicated to the hibernating Sotong, which has been missing in action for months. :P

The Gigantic Sotong, in comparison with the normal-sized "pathetic looking" sotong.

So huge geh? Don't play-play. Mmmmm... seeing the Gigantic Sotong reminds you of what? Pirates of The Caribbeans? Yes? No? Or... does it reminds you of Deep Fried Sotong? or Calamari Rings? or Salted Egg Yolk Sotong? or Nasi Lemak Sotong? or .....

Poppy Seed Cheesie

Mmmm... Poppy Seed Fruit Cheese (Mable's Australian Cheese).

Poppy Seeds Black-black dots. Thank God these are not ants. Kkkkkkk... U know what I mean, don't u?

Food for Thought : Does eating Poppy Seed Fruit Cheese equivalent to taking opioid? Btw, I didn't experience nor feel high-high tei after consuming the cheese. Well, one of the spices used for nasi ganja kandar curry is Kas Kas (derived from poppy seeds).

p/s : This is not a sponsored post. :P

Bo Lak...

Rinnah tagged me with a FOUR tag some time back. Surprisingly the tag is still around after so many years. I had answered this tag (except the previous one had more questions) one and half year ago (in January 2006). Since Rinnah says I can copy & paste the answers that I have given one and half year ago, so.. there it goes .. I modified some of the answers (so, I didn't ti(p)u and copy 100%). Kkkkk...

Photo Hunters : Shadow

Today's topic is Shadow(s).

What I'm showing here is the reflection (or the "shadow") of the mother nature reflected in the river.

Eye soothing green rainforest.

Mother nature is beautiful.

All the photos were taken during my previous Rainforest Kayaking (Canoeing) Adventure in Sg Sarawak Kanan.

Getting Cheesy

I yakked about wanting to try the Pizza Hut's Cheesy Bites Dip-licous Pizza with Winn and Eve yesterday evening. At the end, I opted for home delivery and placed my order. Finally I received the long awaited warm Hawaiian Chicken Large Cheesy Bites Pizza at 8:15 pm.

The cheesy bites with a mixture of 3 different type of cheese inside - namely Cheddar, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Looks good, but taste wise ?

My verdict : Nothing extraordinary. Nothing to shout about. Some of you might beg to differ. Well, that's just my personal opinion. :)

Anyone interested to play the Cheesy Bites Online Game?

Random Update

It's raining cats and dogs out there over the weekend, which helps to clear off the haze. At least we can now breath in fresh air (temporary).

Received a surprised phone call yesterday night - The caller ID showed "Albie Wong". After chatting for a while, then only I realised the emperor was actually in town!! Yeah, I knew he came back yesterday but didn't expect him to land in Penang International Airport (instead of KLIA). LOL.. And guess what? he was staying in a 5 star luxury hotel less than 5 km away from my place. So near and yet so far? And as expected he had chowed down Lormaikai and several other local delicacies and foodstuff. I haven't meet up with him yet since he was busy. Well, the "longkang" date is still on and the day will come soon :)

070707

070707 - Nice date, huh? Today (7th July) marks the 8th wedding anniversary for me & my hubby. Yee Hon, do u still thinks I'm only 26 years old? :P And not forgetting many thanks to BabeKL for the advanced greeting. She had just celebrated her 9th wedding anniversary few days back, on 4th of July (= US Independence Day).

7th July is an auspicious day cos it also marks :
-Reece's (Winn's mia niece), the crying baby, one-year-old birthday. She arrived last year on Boeing 776
-Papercrazy's two years old birthday or blogiversary.
- Live Earth Concert to create awareness on global warming.
- 070707 or triple seven. Nice mah the number.

What u did at 7:07 am on 7th July 2007 (= 07:07 at 07.070.07)? Still Zzzzzz? That was what I did. Wake up few minutes late to witness the 0707070707. Nope, I didn't buy nombor 4 ekor. Kkkkkkk...

p/s: Last year, someone suggested to celebrate celebread my wedding anniversary by eating celery + bread. *faint* Luckily she didn't ask me to celebread by eating celery + bread on Boeing 777 :P

The Royal Family

Who are the parents of The Hairy Prince (Rambo Tan) and The Hairy Princess (Duku Langsat)? The parents of the prince and princess are of course not any ocipala fruit person lah.. Who else if not The King and The Queen of Fruits? The Royal Family mah.. Logic or not? Who else will qualify if not them?

Presenting the Daddy or Papa aka King of Fruits - Durian aka Liulian

And also the Mummy or Mama aka Queen of Fruits - Mangosteen.

This is their lovely son, the hairy prince, Rambutan which had appeared on the big screen few days back.

And once again to those blur sotong out there, this is their beloved smooth skin hairless princess, Duku Langsat.

*End of Craps, Time to Zzzzz...*

Mono-the- Poly

What is the easiest way to become rich? By playing Monopoly (百万富翁). If not, another easier way is to change all your $$$ to Indonesia currency Rupiah. ;)

Enough of craps, Monopoly is one of the board games I used to play in the early days. Simple but addictive. Nowadays I can play it anytime and anywhere, on my pda with my constant opponents "Fox and Malcolm". Scottie Dog is my favourite token, followed by Battleship.

Reminiscing the moment playing a kan cheong heart pounding game of Monopoly a year back at Padang Kota Damansara Mamak store. Ah May, Ah Angel and Ah Albie, when can we have another round of Monopoly game?

Go to Jail?? Really See Ghost liao
Do not Pass Go. Do not collect 200. Nah...... Ti(p)u.

And somehow this reminds me back of the forgotten "censored" flying peanut scene again. Time really flies...

Duku Langsat

Introducing The Hairy Prince Rambu Tan Rambo Tan's twin sister. *Ahem*, The Hairless Princess, Duku Langsat. Actually hoh, Duku Langsat is Rambo Tan's unidentical twin. How come one is so hairy whilst the other one is hairless?

Mmmm... Easy lah.. Dun have to crack your head so much thinking of the answers. Why ah? Coz Duku Langsat gatal and went for numerous waxing, plucking (ouch) and epilation sessions, hence now she becomes totally BALD aka BOTAK.

The Hairless Princess also has confused identity. Mmmmm... Too many confusing names - Duku, Langsat, Duku Langsat, Dokong and not forgetting Buah Rambai. HELP!! Can someone help this poor princess? She is totally confused !!!

Fear not, she still inherits white-coloured sweet and juicy flesh similar as her non identical twin brother, Rambutan.

What's up next? Where are the parents? Stay tuned....

Fear Factor???

I had one unforgettable and disgusting experience related with ants in the past. I shared this somewhere in the past but no harm sharing it again. One fine night, long long long time ago (in the late 80's) in a faraway land, One smart and thirsty fella went into the kitchen for a drink. I lazy to turn on the light at that time cos.... lazy. I poured the plain water into the drinking mug in the dark. After drinking one mouthful, I can felt something crawling inside my mouth and the throat. I quickly switched on the light and walao... The drinking mug was full with ants. I could see a thick layer of black ants floating on top of the plain water inside my mug. I can't imagine myself drinking that !!!! Luckily I didn't pengsan there and then. Really felt like vomiting at that moment. Utterly disgusting. Absolutely gross.. Yucksssss... No more drinking in the dark following that. Hahhaha.... Now I can laugh reminiscing back the event that occurred 2 decades ago - My version of Fear Factor.

Snapshot of Red Ants taken in Taman Tumbina during my previous visit to Bintulu, Sarawak.

Ants, ants, ants... Those little fella. Either u loves it, or hates it.. I hate them, don't you? Anyone has any memorable encounter(s) with the notorious ants?
