Facebook. Everybody it seems to me is busy facebooking. I decided to use it to reconnect with an old friend. She seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Anyway with the help of a friend and a string of friends along the way, just a day later, Mrs BB was stunned when I received a call from her.
She had done well and was now the mother of two daughters and a son, triplets. We both agreed we were living no longer just for ourselves. Ah, when we were young. This is Benghui doing his school homework online. It seems like only yesterday when I had to sit down to teach him the basics of English and now there is this interactive software. One day, parents like me will be like the derelicts of time. Dinosaurs of a bygone era.
Soon, I will have to return this Viva Elite and drive around only in my humble Korean MPV. I definitely need a second car. A friend suggested I buy a ‘showy’ car. I will instead buy a compact, fuel-efficient car. There is nothing to ‘show’. hahahahahaha. Any suggestions?
Benghui suggested we bake our own cookies and cakes. So I brought home a conventional oven. Here I am testing it with some pieces of chicken. I will have to reorganize the kitchen to make space for this. The problem is the lack of electric outlets in the kitchen and too many electrical appliances. I really have negligible experience in cooking with a conventional oven.I will google online and learn along the way. Benghui is ambitious and looking forward to roast chicken, baked fish etc.
We are watching Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. This is it. My short update. Have a nice day, everybody
I have discovered a secret… if you are a sincere person… it will attract everyone…anyone . Sincerity cannot be faked or false.
People will run to you from afar and tie their lives around you. The crooked and insincere will want to run as far away from you .. they can sense that your kind can detect their phoneyness.
Another secret… you look at a lady… in your mind.. you say.. hmmm not bad.. I like your style… she will somehow get that message… I don’t know how.. that also depends on the steady thoughts you have… she will turn around and look at you. You go try it… but be careful what’s in your head.
Of course if you look like hamsap ( lusting ) .. can get a slap lor. Now if I can get some one to just show some interest in me.
Update on Ann Noone’s above post by my friend, Fufu on how to win a woman.. the woman of his dreams
The 15th day of Chinese New Year is also known as the Chinese Valentine’s day in Malaysia. In hopes of finding true love, the singles will hurl mandarin oranges into lake is a practice synonymous with Chap Goh Mei (the 15th night, 十五冥) in Hokkien dialect. They will scribble their contact details on oranges before throwing them into the lake. A new friendship/relationship will be started after any side dial the contact number from the orange. In some places, girls throw oranges while guys throw banana.
Nowadays, you can now expect to get the email, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or other online platforms scribbled. So, I had just thrown five mandarin oranges into Sungai Bernam (Bernam River). Because there’s no lake here in my hometown. It’s just a yearly traditional practice anyhow. As long as i had thrown the orange out, well which means i am ready to start a new relationship, wish someone can really “get” my orange. lol
This is so sad. Please watch this video with sympathy and let us all learn from this experience to have an open mind and search for a second medical opinion when it is necessary. It is not being disloyal or disrespectful to our doctor if we ask questions.

I know some of you who visit my blog regularly love Asian drama online. Today I just want share a fabulous site. It is like a website for Asian and Korean videos. Mrs BB loves it. When she goes to the site, she can see the titles available and the latest videos uploaded on the site. It is so much better than going to youtube/dailymotion and randomly typing in keywords and hoping for the best Read the rest of this entry »
Strong winds are blowing outside my hostel almost every day and I feel so cold. It seems to seep into the bones this feeling of coldness. Warmth is everything. My heart is warmed by thoughts of all my loved ones in Malaysia and all around the world. Today is not only the last day of the celebration but the starting of a brand new year.

I bought this packet of kampua from the local stall at RM2.50. I looked at him preparing it. He used one table spoon of aji-no-moto. All that msg. For the three of us including drinks, it would cost us about RM13.50. A small fortune by my standards for non-nutritious food and its state of cleanliness a question mark.
The above paragraph is to explain to a friend of mine why I bother to cook breakfast. The above pic shows Siam noodles or Siam mee which I cooked yesterday. It was enough for eight helpings ( 4 breakfast and 4 lunch ) and cost me less than RM10.00. Cleanliness assured. Read the rest of this entry »
Only two more days before Chap Goh Meh or the fifteenth and final day of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration. Pic borrowed from Gilbert’s facebook. Incidentally pic is taken in front of my favorite cha koay teow stall in Sibu – Kopitiam Fantasy. Read the rest of this entry »
Although theoretically the Chinese New Year celebrations last for fifteen days ending with the Chap Goh Meh, Sibu as a whole has quietened down. The streets are almost normal again with only sporadic sounds of fireworks. The VIPs too have moved on to perhaps smaller towns. Read the rest of this entry »
Daddy and I woke up early to go to the market. We decided to make Penang hockien mee. There is no real hockien mee stall near my house. It was a surprise for mummy. Also to celebrate I had opened a bank account with my ang pow money. Read the rest of this entry »
Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year and Benghui has decided to open a bank account to deposit his money from his angpows or red packets filled with money. It helped that the government of the day gave each student RM100.00 cash. We have already visited a lot of homes and received lots of visitors. Today’s post is a selection of pics I took today.
