Chocolate Farewell

Ferroro Again??
Another colleague has left the company. As usual, he went round distributing parting gifts in the form of Ferroro Rocher chocolate. I have lost count of the number of times I have received this brand of chocolate this way this year. Ferroro Rocher should advertised themselves to officially be "The Last Day of Work" chocolate.

Other titles it can have is the "I Can't Find a Suitable Christmas Gift" or "Last Minute Dragged Into Christmas Gift Exhange". How many of you out there have received this or worse bought Ferroro Rocher as a Christmas Gift? Yep, I can see the smiles in many of you. Kinda boring right? Must be the damn box that holds the chocolate. Perfect for wrapping with some cheapo Christmas wrapping paper.

If it is my turn to leave the company, I won't distribute Ferroro Rocher. Maybe I will give out Kit Kat. Give everyone a break? :P

Clash of The Titans

I used to watch Clash of the Titans when I was a young together with all those Sinbad movies. Movies of fantasies, adventure and mythical creatures.


Recently, I found out that there is going to be a remake of the Clash of the Titans. From the trailer, it looks quite cool. I think the story this time will be a big difference, but at least they kept the fight scene with the Medusa monster.

Check out the Medusa fight scene from the original Clash of the Titans in 1981. How technology have advanced. It used to use clay figurines and stop motion filming to create the monsters. Nowadays, everything is computer graphics or CGI.

"Both Are Male..."

These are the words from the doctor, after he did the detailed scan yesterday. Though both Angie and I were a bit disappointed as we were hoping for 1 boy 1 girl, we are still happy knowing that both of them are healthy and do not have any defects. Ten fingers, ten toes, that's all that matter, that's all we hope for.

Later Angie ask me.

"What name should we give them?"

I said, "How about Alibaba? Elder one called Ali, the other call Baba. Next time we can call, ALIBABA, COME OVER HERE!"

Angie gave me a knock :P
The journey to parenthood continue for the two of us. :)

读书郎

When I was still a kid, my mother used to sing this lullaby when sending me to school, holding my hand. Now I have to learn to sing this to my little tiger cubs...

Putting On That Extra Kgs

Is it a common trend that husband of pregnant wives will put on weight in sync with their partner? Realize my jeans are getting tighter these past few weeks. How come? My food intake is still the same as usual. What could be the cause of this? Better start doing some light exercise... :P
