Ah Mah’s Anniversary – 27th December 2008

There are only few of us who are present at our home for Ah Mah’s Anniversary this year.

Those present are Keong, Har, Robert, Kuo Hua, Kuo Hui, Puay, Mei, Min, Ye Fei, Yi, Ye Hong and me.

Mom did not cook much because not many are present. As usual, the “Cai Yen” was made by Kuo Hua. Here’s a photo slideshow of the dishes cooked, made and bought.

I dreamt of Ah Mah the day before her anniversary...

Mom, sisters and I went to a place that looks like a hospital to visit her.

She looks exactly like she was in this photo.

When she saw us, she kept smiling without saying a word.

And... I started to cry the moment I saw her.

I missed her so much…

Is this Medicine Man the best kungfu performer in Asia..

Is this Medicine Man (sell 'koyo') the best kungfu performer in this region?

Auntie Nellie and I caught him in Malacca 2 weeks ago on the street of Jonker Walk. His show to the crowd was a sell-out! After giving the coconut a beating, he could not stop selling his 'koyo' to the eager crowd with their RM10 notes in hand.. me included. He readily tells eveyone he is retiring, which obviously make his koyo even more like a birkin handbag.

Check out this video clip from my handphone. Or better still, check out the same stunt on Youtube below..it is quite a spectacle seeing it 'live'. I understand he's there most Saturdays evenings..until he retires, of course. He has to be the best koyo-performer in Malaysia, if not the region. Quite a Msian icon..

20metres from an F1 racecar..

What's it like to be 20metres away from a U$1.6m F1 racecar, accelerating into a straight? Does the surroundings vibrate?

Well, here's a taste of it during Spore's first F1 night race on Sept28. Can you spot the cars zooming past? As you can tell, the view wasn't good..but then again, the price of the ticket was just right..free! (this was taken right beside the entrance of the Swissotel Stamford Hotel)
