I Hate Friday’s
I know, sounds weird uh. Well, Friday I work a regular day, then after work I go work a second job for a few hours. To start the weekend I wake up early on Saturday and go work another job, usually I am off for the weekend somewhere around noon on Saturday.
One thing I have learned over the last few years, it can always be worse. And although I don’t particularly like working the extra jobs I am thankful for them.
But not today!! I am going to move my Friday work to Saturday night and take [...]

A Whole Night of Scary Fun and an Unfortunate Event!
Woo hoo!!! It was Halloween Night last night and I was at KDU College with a few friends of mine. It was AWESOME!!! Su Ling hired me to come and perform some close-up strolling magic at her college’s Halloween party. So I decided to go and I brought along two friends of mine who are also into magic, Simon Kong and Christopher Cheong. Sit back and relax and read this post haha. This is really fun. To give you a slight synopsis: we went there by two cars and came back with one car in good condit
Buy Something! - Hoi An, Vietnam
Jump to the full entry & travel map Hoi An, Vietnam Next, to Hoi An, a lovely little historic town on the coast. The big thing here is buying made to measure tailored clothes. This means every other shop is a tailor's salesroom, and every other shop is a souvenir shop. And as you walk by a shop you hear "come into my shop!" or just "buy something!". You get immune. Well nearly, Joanne bought 3 dresses, 1 skirt and a top, I bought a dress, a skirt and 4 pairs of shoes! Hey, I've got diffic
Port Vila and Fatumara - Port Vila, Vanuatu
Jump to the full entry & travel map Port Vila, Vanuatu After Eratap we went down market and stayed at Fatumara. It was certainly down market and very tired. Nice location and close to town but it was a bit dingy and run like faulty towers. I swear the whole place was kept together by a rubber band, paper clip and piece of chewing gum! We stayed in the 2 bedroom back units and on our last night moved to the front studio unit which was much nicer. The back unit
Five Craziest Uses of Animals in War
Animals have been used in war ever since humans learned how to tame and train them. The use of horses in war goes back over 5,000 years. Elephants have been used as early as 1,100 B.C. Ever since the ancient times humans have been coming up with new tasks for different kinds of animals. Some have been as simple as using the power of oxen to pull supplies. Other relied on the animal's unique abilities, such as using cats to get rid of rats on warships. But some have been much crazier: War Pigs
SSS #130: Fushi 1-November-2008
This was all that I managed to “save” (for blogging purposes) from our newest find here in the kingdom… Complimentary Fushi chocolate square (by Chocoline) Good news! Seems like this sleepy little kingdom’s tastebuds are finally waking up to the yummy taste of “real” Japanese food. Why so? Because we managed to try one such place which served our much-craved food recently - fabulous Fushi! Though we honestly didn’t pin our “foodie hopes” on Fushi, I am pleased to say that it has certainly liv
Love and Friendship at the Koi Pond
By Chris of Christine Marie Art Not too long ago I visited a local koi (japanese for carp) pond. Their colors were so beautiful I had to take lots of pictures, but their behavior was curious. Were they starving? Every time we got near, this yellow guy opened wide...and gave me a bubble! After doing a little reading, I found out that koi food is designed to float, to encourage them to come to the surface. Koi will recognize the person feeding them, gather around, and can be trained to take food f

Enju Japanese Cuisine, Prince Hotel KL.
Enju Japanese Cuisine, Prince Hotel KL. Firstly, a very big thank you to Sidney and Sunny of BigBoysOven in organising this makan, better known as a foodie session. So yea, hurried through the hustle and bustle of KL city during peak after work hours, I found myself at Prince Hotel KL. I took LRT anyway. LOL! It would be madness to drive down to KL at that hour. Anyway, a few of us met at the hotel lobby and proceeded to the 1st floor of the hotel and voila! Enju... The brightly lit ent
The secrets of Sikkim
Posted by barunroy on November 1, 2008 There are three varieties of tiny dried fish, though God knows that Sikkim is far off from any sea -Travelling Tiffin | Marryam H. Reshii Fiery: The dallae khursani is consumed fresh, not dried. It’s my pet theory that you have never really explored a new destination till you’ve seen its market. It was with this in mind that I set off to the floor above the local taxi stand in Gangtok. Extreme pressure on real estate and not much in the way of flat land m

Lobster Gyoza!
Lobster gyoza, harrrahh! When you are only cooking for one, you don’t need to make a million gyoza. And if you buy the wrappers you save hours and hours. When Mr. Tess is out of town, I have trouble sleeping for a few days because I tend to ignore bedtime, because I take a nap in the evening. Then I’m hungry, but I’m only cooking for myself so it’s usually a bowl of pasta with garlic, butter, and cheese (sardines are good, too, but don’t tell). Then I don’t want to sleep. If I turn off all the

Halloween fear: context
We all love to be scared when we know we are really safe, roller coaster rides and scary movies for example. This Halloween I was thinking of the scariest movie I had ever saw, the movie I just couldn't take and had to leave the Theater, in front of my friends, it was so scary they left with me. But first the context, The atom bomb had just happened before I was born, so I grew up with the atom bomb, note I said atom not Nuclear, nuclear bombs came later. Any thing "atom" was hot leading scien
Kumamoto Prefecture horse meat actually comes from Canada
The Asahi Shimbun reports that one company used shady methods to import horses and then sell their meat as famous Kumamoto prefecture horse meat: According to the ministry and the Kumamoto prefectural government, Sankyo Chikusan sold 166 kilograms of horse meat to Shokuryu between June 2007 and August 2008. The meat came from horses imported from Canada and fattened in Kumamoto Prefecture for about three months before they were butchered. Sankyo did not disclose the country of origin for
What We Loved This Week: Haruki Murakami, Tom Bissell and ‘Made From Ike’
World Hum contributors share a favorite travel-related experience from the past seven days. Eva Holland Kenyon Presbyterian Church. It’s a tiny stone building (pictured) in Glengarry, a county outside Ottawa that was settled in the early 1800s almost entirely by Scottish immigrants. Kenyon was built by a small community from the Isle of Skye that remained extremely close-knit even after they left. The church was still using Scots Gaelic in its services until 1972, and, when I visited this
Debt Rattle, October 31 2008: Scramble for Pennies
G. G. Bain Scramble for pennies - Thanksgiving 1911. Before Halloween came into its own as a holiday in the US, there was "Thanksgiving masking" Kids would dress up and go door to door for apples, or "scramble for pennies." Ilargi: In Britain, the average homeowner has lost more on the value of his property in the past year than his/her annual salary is worth. Moreover, more than 30% of the value of all private pensions is gone. While £6.7 billion was paid in, £157 billion disappeared.
Korean Food and Japanese Sushi
Hi folks, we discovered another resto around town, actually it's recommended by one of our friends, it's called Korean King BBQ in Canton, MA. They serve a buffet of Korean dishes and Japanese sushi, yummy! We tried it out last Sunday after mass, and they've got pretty good selections. We came just before opening at 11:30am and the place got crowded easily. Here are some of the stuffs I got - different kinds of sushi, potato noodles, marinated tofu, dumplings and more.
Ruth Reichl on California: "The west coast is really lucky....
"The west coast is really lucky. They have a year-round growing season. The farmers' markets there in the middle of winter are abundant ... When I went to California, the Chinese food, the Japanese food, and the Mexican food were all so much more important so much earlier...Where I was living in LA, there were people who were growing Thai eggplants right down the street from me. In New York if you wanted those, you had to get them frozen." Also interesting is her statement on food in America: "
