How to be Rich

I always tell my friends, there are 3 ways to get rich:


  1. Born rich
  2. Strike rich
  3. Marry rich


Born rich -- simply born with a silver spoon, something you cant control or change

Strike rich -- winning the lottery, something you can achieve from the Chinese New Year 10 million Toto yearly

Marry rich -- need I say more?


But that brought about a quote from my friend,


"If your father is not rich its not your fault, but if your father-in-law is not rich, its your fault!"


so you need what you need to do lol.


Another activities filled day starting in the noon with a 1 hour wait for someone to arrive resulting in me being late, despite planning the meetup half an hour in advance, crappy. Well after meeting my friend we saw this dragonball keychain tikam machine and decided to try our luck on the Shen Long piece. 1st 3 tries ended up with 3 different pieces which was pretty good but no Shen Long piece. Decided to go try it again after a short walk as I thought luck was pretty good on our side but end up getting 4 extras zzZ.

Caught Transformers 2 at GV Marina. 2 advice, firstly if u watching at GV dun go in too early as we were more than 15mins late and the show did not even start when we went in, unless you wish to catch the trailers along with the huge amount of advertisements. Secondly do not drink too much water as TF2 is almost 2.5 hours and you will have to piss in your pants if you take too much liquid and still wana catch the whole show. Overall the movie was pretty good with lots of explosions and fights especially the part which Optimus Prime took on 3 of the Decepticons. Well another reason for guys would be Megan Fox who looked really hot in the show along with Isabel Lucas, the hot Species wannabe with a long robotic tongue.

Some bad points, some scenes was very fast, one yawn with you closing your eyes and you could have part of the action. Non-Transformers friends would have difficulty recognising the robots as think it wasn't really clear on who was what. 1 thing I didn't get it, if the weapon that destroyed Constructicons is so powerful? Why not just use it to destroy everything?

After that went looking around at toys and picked up Star Wars Saesee Tiin Jedi Fighter. Cool orange coloured fighter. Its design is longer and slimmer than other Jedi fighers like Anakin and Obi Wan's fighters. 1 bad thing, the droid is fixed firmly to the fighter, cant even turn its head. Other than that the usual missiles firing features along with detachable wings and a stand below to let the fighter stand up. Oh and the cock pit for the pilot, in this case Saesee Tiin, to seat in.

Had dinner at Funan Centre's food court after being drawn by Nasi Briyani some people were having. Well wasn’t the chicken was not too bad but the mutton was too fatty and not soft I felt and the rice was kind of sticky. Must go for North Point's Nasi Briyani some time again. Missed the fireworks as we were walking off but a pretty good day till then although the day was drawing to an end but the night was still young.


Round 2 of the activities started meeting up with my buddies after 1 of em rang me saying he was near my place. Decided to meet in town instead so all 3 of us could meet which seemed like a bad choice in the end. After accompanying my friend to get a T shirt and dinner at Marina Square, we went to pick the last of the 3 musketeers up at Clarke Quay. Decided to go for beancurd at Rochor but as we passed by the crowd was mad. As if they were giving away free beancurd, there were lots of people outside were waiting for their takeaways or orders or waiting for seats. Decided to head somewhere else but was limited but the restrictions of activities that we can do in Singapore at night. After wasting much petrol decided to head to near my place for some food and drinks. Halfway there, my friend said he was pretty tired and suggested dropping me then my friend off and heading back instead. Honestly quite paiseh about it but since already there might as well get a drink as its really been a while since we met. Was joined by another friend of mine for some food and beer and talk cock session. As we grow older we have different commitments be it work, family, gf or bf and life is no longer as carefree and full of different problems and obstacles. Its hard at times find time to do little and simple things in life. From a group of 4 buddies to be left with 3 is just as sad as any relationship. Well hopefully able to meet up soon again under better circumstances and time and place ha. Just to clarify ha it wasn't a trick to get you there Kenny ha.. It was too impromptu. Next time we go for a good dinner and drinking session ba. Good luck in your job man.


Well Ice Age 3 is screening now. Loved Part 1 and 2 was not too bad, will catch 3 soon hopefully. For now McDonalds is giving away Ice Age 3 toys and I just had to get Scrat when I saw it. Who can forget the squirrel and its nut lol.. Will considering getting all but having to eat so many Happy Meals is abit scary. Will see how it goes.


the leaf will show a squirrel face when you rub it
you can shoot the nut out by pressing the button on its bottom left in the 1st pic

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

An exciting love life with ups and downs or a stable relationship?
Someone told me a believer of true love will have a relationship is like a sine curve, with lots of highs and lows while a non believer of it would be a rather stable relationship like a straight road. I believe only with the most bitter and sad moments will one learn to appreciate and feel the sweetest of happiest moments, which is what love should be all about. A mundane and boring relationship, with no burst of feelings here and there is not what love is all about I guess.


As everyone is geared up in anticipation for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, premiering on 26th of June, the merchandise or toys rather was launched island wide today 30th of May, oh well Toys r Us Forum had a midnight launch for it which I did not go.








Got up early for my toy hunt after learning of a commotion at the launch at Forum yesterday night. Reported dutifully at my favourite toy retailer OG Bugis at bout 1130h, was expecting lots of people to be there but despite being late from its opening hours at 1100h. Perhaps the rain or other unknown reason, I was the 3rd customer there for the purchase. From a live field update at Metro Sengkang, there was a rush and hussle the moment doors opened, perhaps not really rush but the rather limited stock of the more popular figures were wiped off the shelves quickly. The scene however was different there, not many people buying and no rush or crowd at all. Well something didnt change was the most popular figures were still sought after. Well at first my only intention was only Sideswipe but well added another Fallen

Sideswipe, is Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept in the movie. I find it the nicest car as well as robot other than Autobots leader Optimus Prime, thus gotten 2 pieces of it.


The actual car




The toy











Next highly sought after piece is Fallen itself. For those who do not know history of Fallen. It is actually 1 of the 13 robots created by Primus who later followed Unicron.


The Toy
Voyager packaging





Closer look at it


the back of the box


check the stats of Fallen lol..it even has infinity stats lol..


This piece, Fallen seems to be highly in demand and out of stock everywhere. Only bought these few pieces. perhaps for now I guess but wont be getting so much like 1st movie if not they will do better repaints and sell them at dirt cheap prices. The 3rd piece quite sought after is Sideways, yeah weird name but didnt wana get it for now. Gotten a Star Wars Concept Anakin Skywalker too.



Well after I made my purchases, I was standing at the Transformers section waiting for my friend. It was noon time and there were more people coming to look at the toys. At the start, most were just looking at it but one lady was listening to my conversation with another guy on how highly in demand Fallen is and joined in to asked what is good or rare. Such consumers or customers arent really the 'true collector' but those who purchase as it is the trend or becuase everyone is getting it. Regardless, more people especially the 'aunties' start to join in to ask what is popular and starting grabbing some. Well Fallen was the topic starter and everyone scrabbled around looking for one and this couple put back the last piece on the shelves and when they overheard what we mentioned, went to pick it again only to find it in someone else's possesion. I then overheard the wife mentioning "See la, now no more. Dont want also just hold on to it la now people take liao!" I cant help but to chuckle at what she said. Well for 10 minutes I became a free part time sales and consultant for OG entertaining Aunties queries and questions.
