Recently I went to Taiwan for a trip. Will talk more about the trip later. Here are some interesting things that I saw in Taiwan.Old guy in Ximending, don't know what he is doing.Along the way to Sun Moon lake, pass by a town near Taichung, there are endless number of stores on both side of the road selling betel nuts. These stores are manned by scantily dress female.This is how the store

I've never thought of seeing Petronas station outside of Malaysia. When I saw one in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, I was like dang. It looks exactly like how it is here.This is in Vietnam. No kiddingI thought that was it, they have the petrol stations. Then when I was about to leave Ho Chi Minh city, I saw these in the airport. I believe, they don't have it even in KLIA.Did Petronas gave

I've been following Kenny Sia's blog for a while and since I never bother to participate in or read the comments posted by his readers, I don't know if anyone have raised this question before. Based on my observation and deduction, I bet that there is something going on between them. They've been going on trips together and etc etc... So is Kenny Sia and Nicole an item?I won't be surprised if

Church of the painted breast? Minnie Mowse? What am I talking about? Its something really funny that I just read, about the Nigerian email scams. I think you can find a couple of it in your junk mail folder. If not, lucky you. The article talks about how scambaiters are fighting back. Its really funny how stupid the scammers can be, being blinded by greed. Sadly, those being scammed are

After a few months of hiatus, lets continue with my China tour. We boarded the Victoria Anna at Chongqing around 5pm++. Victoria Anna is the latest ship on Victoria Cruises fleet of 5 star cruise ships. We specifically plan on taking the Yangtze river cruise on this ship and it was worth it. Of course you can't compare this cruise ship to those huge cruise ship like those in Star Cruises

There is a sudden surge in traffic to this blog in the past week although I've not been posting anything new for a long time. No, I did not abandon this blog, I've been busy, okay?

I love beef jerky, especially Oberto beef jerky. I used to eat a lot of those while in university. Oberto jerky comes in different flavors, from original to teriyaki. Its hard and chewy.While visiting China, I found the Chinese version of beef jerky, Zhang Fei beef. Zhang Fei was a general from the three kingdoms period. So what does a historical general got to do with beef jerky? I have no

There is a new Oreo on the market and its not a cookie sandwiched with different filling in the middle. Its actually a wafer stick so you can't twist it and lick it, but you can still dunk it in milk if you prefer.It taste just like the cookie but its a wafer. Yummy! The price is not cheap though, its 4 bucks for a pack of 5.Technorati Tags: Oreo + Wafer

Dazu Grottoes, located in the Dazu county on mount Baoding, has a history dating back as far as the 7th century A.D. It is listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1999 and is one of the four greatest stone sculpture treasure troves in China. It is a series of rock carvings depicting Buddhist beliefs. Its a long ride from Chongqing to the site, roughly 2 hours.Thousand handsSee

Chongqing is totally different from Chengdu. The first thing I notice is the airport looks much more modern than Chengdu. Since we arrive late at night, we went straight to the hotel. On the way, we saw the beautiful Chongqing skyline with buildings all lit up with colorful lights. Chongqing is modern just like another major metropolitan cities you find in developed countries.Chongqing

I recently went on a family trip to China. We took a direct flight to Chengdu. First thing that I notice is that the city is blanketed by haze. Did those bloody forest fire smoke from Indonesia blew all the way here? I doubt it. So it seems like Chengdu is a very foggy city.The highlight of the trip is a cruise on the Yangtze river. Since we are a few days early, we went to a couple of

At the beginning of this year, a relative brought me something call freeze dried durian from Thailand. It taste so good that it was all gone before I realize that I should take a picture to blog about it. Well, I just got a second chance.Now before I continue, I have to say how did the Thais ever came out with this idea. They have durians, we have durians. Why didn't we ever thought of this?

Pump It Up or PIU is a rhythm video game similar to Dance Dance Revolution. I am not sure what's the popularity of this kind of game currently but I am certain that the peak has past.

If you didn't noticed, the old theme is gone. I've been using the old theme since I started this blog and had always wanted to change it. I was too lazy to design a new theme and didn't like those templates available on the net. That is until I found this. Its heavily modified and doesn't really look like what its supposed to be when I found it.What do you think?

Warning: There may be spoilers. After watching Crying Out Love, In The Center Of the World, I watched the remake, My Girl and I (note: this site seems to only work with IE, that sucks). The movie starred Cha Tae Hyeon (My Sassy Girl) and Song Hye Kyo (Full House), which is also her big screen debut.I don't know how faithful this remake is to the novel, but it seems to be a very loose remake of
