Top Gear
Just got acquainted with this seriously funny motoring show on BBC. Its called “Top Gear” and now into its 9th season. Featuring the antics of 3 guys and some serious hardware, it features top racing cars and “experiments” with cars.
Hyundai Restless and the wayward wind
Just caught sight of a very cool car vid at Duncan’s TV Ad Land.
Apparently, its been banned in Australia for depicting illegal activity (i.e. baby driving a car)!
New Year Lunch, Ben & Jerries, Protege and Pizza!
This year’s usual gathering of my secondary friends was slightly different in that it was super rushed 
We first had a nice 6 course set lunch at Gim Tim restaurant. Zh and Jo had earlier dropped off a monster tub (@$88) of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and we had that for dessert .. 2 scoops each for 10 of us… That’s one huge tub pictured below!
Our next stop was to watch the Andy Lau movie “Protege” which is about the heroin business and a “behind the scenes” look at how this trade comes about. I would probably rate this a 3 out of 5 since there isn’t any real suspense to the movie.
After the movie, we moved on to Ig’s n Yy’s place for dinner (pizza) and afterwards enjoyed a taste of 3 different types of Inniskillin Ice Wine. *grin* the night ended with a rather empty wallet but hey, its a once a year occurence so shall just enjoy the spirit of another lunar year
Chinese New Year 2007 is Year of Pig or DingHai
Happy Piggy Year to everyone! We had two dinners this year (yah now we gotta eat more every new year!). We had a nice steamboat/hotpan dinner at Yh’s home on Friday (new year’s eve’s eve). I think this is the first time (as far as i remember) we all crowded round the table and had dinner together so it was very nice
New year’s eve traditional reunion dinner was held at my parent’s home. We had steamboat and lots of veggie to accompany the food. Also open a nice bottle of Pinncale 2003 Ice Apple Wine after dinner.
On both occassions, we kinda forgot to take photos so kinda regretting not have a snap to remember our first reunion dinners together. Anyhow, wish everyone good health and prosperity in the coming piggy year.
2007 is the Year of the Pig (boar)
It is also known by its former name of Ding Hai.
