This could be my biggest expenses for the year 2010. I have many things to buy on hand. Here is my hi-tech shopping list:
1. Panasonic Lumix LX5 (YES! I am going travel soon!)
A new compact camera to replace my 3 years old Fujifilm F31fd. Why i chose Panasonic Lumix LX5 is because of the below strong reasons:
i. 1:1 format. I like to experience with square pictures without post processing.
ii. Long battery life just like my trusty Fujifilm F31fd.
iii. Movie recording on AVCHD.
iv. Leica len! What else?!
v. I did not own …

The Alexandra Village has closed down for renovation. What happened to the Mr Avocado?
I found the stall today. I saw 2 men holding familiar glasses of the delicious green stuff inside. Hey! The glasses look familiar! The green liquid looks familiar! It is Mr Avocado!!!
Where are they now? They have moved to the Food Center at Margaret Drive. Go go go! “Thank You Brother!”

Today was a interesting day. I noticed many things. First was the women’s heels. The current trend is to have a buckle on the front. This morning i saw a number of women wearing such heels.<skip>
I used the public transport everyday. Whenever i take the mrt, i will recall what my sifu has told me. He also take public transport most of his time.
“In the past, if the train is crowded, you can wait for the next one”
“If the next one is crowded, you can wait for the next one”.
“Now, …

I happened to see this article at Wiki and i decided to share with the gamblers reading this.
“Virtually all games at a casino are games of chance, and in nearly every instance the odds are in the house’s favor. It’s possible to get lucky and win sometimes, but nearly impossible to win in the long run. However, there are a couple of notable exceptions to the rule, where you can gain a slight advantage over the house.”
“Avoid roulette, keno, slots because of the enormous house advantage. Craps, and blackjack have …

I went to the Genting Highland’s casinos recently and realised how to make money from it. Here are the tips (use at your own risk):
1. Understand how the game works. If in doubt, you can check with the casino’s free lesson trainer. There are some simple games for everybody like the Blackjack, Pontoon and Casino War.
2. Understand your luck pattern. You should be able to tell when you are luckier and when you are in bad shape after a few tries. My recommendation is to cut loss after 3 continuous …

The success of the 3D movie, Avatar, has made some unscrupulous movie directors to make their move to better earnings. They did so by converting their ordinary 2D movies into 3D so that they can fetch the extra premium. Some of the fake 3D movies known to date are as below:
1. Alice in Wonderland
2. Clash of the titans

I had a rather persistent hiccup today. I tried drinking a lot of water but it did not help. So i decided to try the isotonic drink, H2O. I drink a full cup and after a while it will go away. However, it will return much later again. Drink some more H2O and it stopped again.

The hiccups are back. It came back when i doing chanting at the temple today. I was chanting the 88 Buddhas. Somehow it disappeared just before the end of the chanting. I stayed …

This is not new, i think almost every morning, someone may be fainting in the trains. I have came across, close to the person, at least 3 times now. Ever since the increase in influx of foreigners in the country, the trains have been packed worst than sardines. The trains were not designed to cope with this amount of passengers.
I really wonder, is there a world class public transportation that allows everyone to have a seat?
 

See what i have?
I found my “bought long long” Sketch book and i decided to get myself a box of Crayon. Some time ago, i found this Sketch book when i did my room cleaning. Recently i got to see strange images during my meditation, so i decided to paint them down. The choice of wax crayon is puzzling. Why not water color? Why not color pencil? I only know it has to be wax based crayon and it must have the gray color. Last but not least, it must …
