Kylie Kwong : Heart & Soul

Recently I fell in love with an ASTRO cooking show - Kylie Kwong : Heart & Soul.

http://www.abc.net.au/kyliekwong/

I like the way the show was shot, the way the hand held camera taking shots from various angles, show host Kylie keep talking, chopping, cooking and moving here and there in a rather fast pace... the color of the show, the cute and funny conversation between Kylie and her mum, sometimes even argued with her mum. Sometimes her Gen-X brother was around too. Everything is just so fun to watch.

The only draw back is that the show is only on at 11:30 p.m. every Thursday, which means I have to wait around, not going to bed till midnight. So last night I cooked dinner (steak, pasta, mash potato and soup, yummy!), then I turned the TV on, flipping through the channels, walking here and there, doing facial mask, digging ear wax, plugging eyebrow, taking shower, watering plants... very productive indeed!

On the other hand, my housemate 'ah pig' also noticed that I love the show so she started reminding me about it since the beginning of the week. Last night, she waited for the show but couldn't help falling asleep on the couch. But somehow she was so persistent that when the show started, she suddenly jumped up from the couch, sat there and watched till the whole show finished. (Hahaha, this is so contagious...)

In the middle of the night, 2 couch potatoes sitting there watching cooking show in sleepy eyes... as silly as usual...

W.Y.O.

To the members of the "CHABOS",

I think you girls can all publish your blog on this page. Try it out, Write Your Own!

Combination of I+S+O

I have 2 friends that we often hang out together. When we walked together, our combination looks like I.S.O. (by the body shape). Hey, 2 of you, you know who is the I and who is the O lah. And I'm of course.... the SSSSSS. Hint: Miss O has just been able to visit Blog page this recently. As for Miss I.... I think god forgot to write any script for her, that's why she is always "......." and "zzzzzzzzz".

D.I.Y.

Since I started serving my new duty in the club, which requires me to organize a lot of activities, I find myself becoming more and more capable of producing "real-look-alike" D.Y.I. products. That includes certificates, souvenirs, momento, calenders etc.

There is a leadership seminar coming up which is organized by me. There is a list of items that I need to prepare:
1) Letter of Invitation (done)
2) Course materials (done)
3) Certificates of Appreciation, momento, bannerettes for the speaker (done)
4) F&B on the day
5) Projector screen, VCR, speakers (already arranged)
6) etc etc etc ............. the list goes on

Last night after printing the course materials (again by D.I.Y. kos try to be cost effective), I started to 'manufacture' course books at home by binding the course materials together with a transparent cover (front), blank paper (for note taking) and a thick color paper (back). It turns up to be quite 'pro' actually.

That makes me started to count the items that I have 'manufactured' at home in the past 3 months.... Sourvenir color printed photo with frame, official letter with color printed letterhead, pin design (by my housemate), folders with calender, plans, lists etc for each member, course books, D.I.Y. repaired bannerettes, project tracking system....

Hmm... may be someday I shall start to print $ at home...

A stupid Body Shop's consumer

Two days ago, I bought a bottle of 'Almond and Honey' body lotion, together with seaweed facial scrub and African SPA gel from the Body Shop. After I took my shower that night and was watching TV at the living room, I told my housemate : "I smell very 'Body Shop'... " *grin*.

Yesterday I brought that expensive bottle of 'Almond and Honey' body lotion to work (kos the air in the office is very dry). After applying it and was enjoying the smell of it, I took a look at the ingredients labelled. Guess what? There were more than 20 types of chemicals but I couldn't find the two most important ingredients - almond and honey. Instead, I found caramel on the list. Suddenly I felt cheated kos caramel does smell like the mixture of almond and honey (isn't that STRANGE?!!~~~).

Then the question is : "Why don't just call it CARAMEL body lotion then?"... I wonder if I could actually sue Body Shop for misleading the consumers this way.

Patent

I went to a Patent Talk today. It left me doubt on how to really secure an idea. In the senerio when one has a brilliant idea so he approaches an IC designer to design it. The IC designer came out with a tip top solution. Now who has the right? If without the idea, the designer will have nothing to start with, but without the tip top solution from the designer, the idea is not going anywhere. It's a cooperation and therefore it should be a 50:50 split??... To me, I think an innovative idea is always more valuable.

Engineers

Today my colleagues (all Product Engineers) and I had a discussion about the origin of human beings. The Honkee : "We were created by GOD." The China chinese : "There is no GOD, we were protein generated by mixture of O2, water and a few other components, according to the Evolution theorem". The dumb Malaysian Engineer (myself) : "I think ho, we were sent by Aliens to this planet, the memory was intentionally erased. It's for some testing purposes. Jesus were sent over to observe and to send some messages."

Well there was nothing to support my theory. It came to my mind the other day when I thought to myself, what will I do if eventually the earth is becoming overly occupied by human beings due to the advancement in medical and technology? We will have to find a solution. What will it be then?? Well, a simplest way is to identify few other planets that might be suitable for human migration. Then who will be the first one to go and check the place out? Well, the easy way is we make clones from our gene & DNA whatever. THEY will be exactly like a human being except that THEY can't think like us, that means we will have to intentionally remove all their ability that may allow them to become a threat to us one day. May be masking certain part of the brain's capability or damage certain part of the genes etc...

There I came to think that may be we were generated the same way kos currently we are only using 10% of our brain's capability. If we manage to expand the capability, we might be able to find out the answer....

The list will go on and on....

Now, how to upload a pix?? Hmm... was trying to share with ppl the pix of my cool eblue mouse but too bad, can't upload it. HELP!!!!~~~~~~~~~
