Rinspeed sQuba

Check out this amphibious car! the Rinspeed sQuba!

It drives on land and dives underwater. PLUS it is a zero emissions vehicle!

I wonder how long it will take to reach Tioman...

Thank you Charlie for showing me this. :-)

And the winner is...

Nominated for 8 Academy Awards this year - No Country For Old Men won 4, including Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Achievement in Directing for the Coen brothers, Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published & Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for Javier Bardem.

Saw this movie last night, and I thought it was a waste of time... tried really hard NOT to fall asleep. I think it's age, the older I get, the more impatient I get and 2 hours of ambling around was no fun for a Sunday night.

Though I have friends who enjoyed it tremendously and found the action riveting... to each his own... to each his own :-)

Thank you but no thank you...

Zhang ZhenYue (张震岳) in Concert!


Ah Yue was at the Esplanade Concert Hall 16th February 2008 as part of the Huayi Festival in Singapore.

It was punctual! Starting promptly at 730pm. Despite it being an 'unplugged' event, there was a keyboard synthesizer (somehow the synthesizer doesn't count...) and the evening was very sedate for such a performer. Most songs were spent standing... He said that is was kinda fun pretending to be 'si wen'... roll eyes...

Even with MC Hotdog who performed 3 songs with Ah Yue, had a special 'tame' version of 我爱台妹 just for Singapore. Female Tiger was a good song too, sampling Three Blind Mice!

Half way through the main man himself even said that he'd noticed the audience had preferred the quicker songs but they had a repertoire of mainly slower numbers.

This is the first concert I have ever been to, at which after 2 whole hours, tells the audience that his script called for a fake encore, and that he was going to ignore it and just finish the concert! He then introduced the band members 2 of whom sang songs!

The first guy was the keyboardist was sang a Harlem Yu song, then another guy did a spoof of the May Day Hokkien song - 志明与春娇 - it was super funny!

At the end of the concert - no encore - there was a autograph signing session. It was very quiet and calm, no screaming, no yelling, even the markers scratching over the numerous CD covers, posters and t-shirts scratched quietly...

Nice guys can finish FIRST!


The winners of The Amazing Race Asia 2 are Collin and Adrian!

It just goes to show that nice guys can whoop ass! (nicely of course)... AND finish FIRST!
