Old Car vs Old Car

Can you imagine this is an old rotten car? How can this become comparable than picture below?

In future, the car maker should not compare cars between the speed and performance. It should be comparing on its outlook and how long it can last for one's car.

This picture was taken when I first time saw the number plate start with KL XXXX. I really admire how this car owner preserve this car so well. It is clean and nice inside too unlike the picture above.

I think it takes a lot of effort to maintain a nice and clean car.

Olden Days of Selling Chicken Rice

Poor old man has to wait for people to come to buy his chicken rice. Moreover, under the hot sun. Phew, I feel I'm sweating right now!

Dream Home

Have you wonder what is your dream home will be?

Well, I have never thought of my dream how is going to be like in the first place until I mingled around with friends that is much older than me about 10 to 20 years different. The elder sisters or brothers in their 30s or 40s told me to go to see some show house very weekend to get ideas for your dream home. I have never thought of it until now, I may have ideas but have not sketch of my dream home.

To me, I always wanted a nice cozy house with waterfront and jacuzzi at home. This picture below tells it all.

Isn't it refreshing enough to wake every morning by looking at the sea?

I also would like to have seaview house. Every morning I wake up I can see the sea that makes me feel very refreshing. It's great to have such house.

If I have a seaview house, I don't think I necessary need a swimming pool. Moreover, to have a swimming pool is a more costly than going to sea for a swim. Anyway, swimming in the sea is far more dangerous than your own private pool. Hmmm, at least I can invite some of friends for BBQ and partying the whole night at the pool side especially for the night owl fellows.

Well, this is one of the idea of having a dream home. Guess whose house is this? Let's have multiple choice question:-

a) Warren Buffett

b) William Gates III

c) Li Ka-Shing

d) Eldrick Woods

Answer: D - Eldrick Woods who is Tiger Woods
Highlight after the word "Answer" to get the answer.

Humpty Dumpty sat on Wall Street

Humpty Dumpty sat on a Wall Street
Wall Street makes Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Wall Street has broken into 10,000 bricks on 7th Oct 2008
All the king's horses and all the king's men Finding ways to put Humpty Dumpty together again
But the pieces shattered into thousands
Will Humpty Dumpty revived back by Mc Cain or Obama?
We shall see... whether will put back together again
Oh poor Humpty Dumpty, he had a great fall.
Have ever wondered why Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall?
Hmmm... good question to ask.
I think Humpty Dumpty could not think whereas he could sit on that he will ever fall harder.
If he were to sit on a chair to fall, it is not hard for him to fall.

What Happened Next?

I wondered whether this couple is being happily married ever after since the advertising cost has cost this guy (in the picture) to pay for the billboard for RM40,000? This billboard was put up in 14th February 2008 (140208). The billboard was added into My Diamond signature after a month this billboard was set up. I tried to take the photo of this billboard when it was signature by My Diamond. Unfortunately, I can't snap a shoot of it because I was driving alone. When I was driving, the angle that I tried snap a shoot was not good enough to put up here.

Hey, why not you advertised yourself saying that you are happily married ever after? Then, put the Lazo Diamond

as your signature on your billboard again. Don't you think after marriage the woman will still ask you for more diamonds? Hehehe.... By the way, "Diamonds are woman's best friend".

Here is some ideas I would give to you...
1) Put up a billboard for your wedding day and signature by the hotel that the place you held a wedding dinner.
2) Put up a billboard saying that you are happily married and was blessed by "My Diamond". This is good example to start a family.
3) Put up a billboard saying that you own a house already and signature by the developer that you bought from.

Kelly Tan E Li's boyfriend or soon-to-be-husband or husband, is my ideas above mentioned good enough for you to gain back your advertising cost? Any comments... Feel free to add in, yeah.

Baltic Cruise

Have you heard about Baltic Cruise before?

Baltic Cruise will be one of the best destination spot for lovely couple to spend their holidays. It takes about one to two weeks or even a month to tour around the Baltic region. I did not know until my friend mentioned to me on that day that I met her for a drink. I think it is interesting to learn different cultures by touring different countries around Baltic region. Wow, this destination will be my dream holiday in my lifetime.

It is so beautiful with nice and cosy scenic view. By looking at the pictures, it makes me feel so special and distress myself from the tall concrete buildings in the city.

In fact, Baltic Sea is also being protected by government body called Helsinki Commission. Helsinki Commission works to protect marine environment from all sources of pollution through intergovernmental co-operation between Denmark, Estonia, the European Community, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden.

Helcom's objective is to restore the good ecological status of the Baltic marine environment by year 2021.

We should help protect this environment especially for our next generation. This beautiful environment should not be destroyed. If not, we would not have chanced to enjoy such a beautiful and cosy sea like Baltic Sea.

Dinner in the Sky

Dinner in the Sky is a unique event meant for anyone who wishes to transform an ordinary meal or meeting into a magical moment that will leave a lasting impression on their guests!

Have you taught of having dinner in the sky? It would be marvellous to experience once a while. If bring your partner for a dinner, this dinner would add to your special event on that day. This experience will make your partner feel a little bit akward but it is a goood experience on special occassion like birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas and etc...
