Getting the hang of Oppa Gangnam Style

I wrote about dinosaurs and the fact that they may still be alive and I think I might have scared my downstairs neighbour doing the Oppa Gangnam Style which was more Boom Boom Dino Style. If you know me personally I am hardly what you call petite unless a sack of potatoes has suddenly become the norm for the size. I was prancing here and there to the music and generally having fun.Then I reliased that I might not be behaving like a good neighbour.

Hey...angry neighbour..oops BOOM BOOM Dino Style.

Currently the Korean wave is hitting Malaysia like a cultural Tsunami, from Samsung to some song..K-pop that is. Malaysian youths are now singing the Korean songs with aplomb. For I am still apprehensive of Kimchi, darn it I was getting used to MISO and before that flavours from Thailand. Korean BBQ, I've tried it once... somehow I have no memory of it. That and I didn't eat much. I miss Japanese food and Thai food, for my fixes I go to Tao and Japin for the former and eat the latter at home.  

Speaking of food, America is facing OBCT... I mean obesity problems. How can anyone in America stay slim when they are the ones that invented "SUPERSIZE"? And now there's a report in today's CNN report that the Americans are served pasta that has over 3000 calories!!!!
Here are some examples of what they call a meal. 

1. Cheesecake Factory's crispy chicken costoletta was not too far behind. According to the menu, it's a chicken breast lightly breaded and sautéed to a crispy golden brown. It is served with a lemon sauce, mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus.According to CSPI, it also has 2,610 calories, more than a 12-piece bucket of original recipe Kentucky Fried Chicken, and 4½ days' worth of saturated fat.

2. Johnny Rockets bacon cheddar double burger, sweet potato fries and Big Apple shake. This meal packs on 3,500 calories, 88 grams of saturated fat -- that's four days' worth -- 3,720 milligrams of sodium and 15 teaspoons of sugar, according to CSPI.

Looks so good but this is too much food for one. An adult is just supposed to consume 2000 calories in a day!!! This is blowing the whole days calorie on just one meal. This much food you can feed the dinosaurs with. I wonder if the had McD or Burger King or Wendy's... LOL.

All right, that's it from me.... Hey hey hey ... BOOM BOOM DINO STYLE.... XD

DINOSAURS are ALIVE?!

Recently, I've come across some material that could possibly prove that dinosaurs are still living among us. I mean not literally downtown Georgetown or strolling down Gurney Drive but in places such as Africa. Did the scientist get it wrong? Could it be that we are talking about Dragons? There are legends about Dragons almost throughout the world. It would make sense that we could find evidence of their existence.

This rotting animal carcass was pulled out of the sea near New Zeland  in 1977 by Japanese trawler. It looks like a ancient marine reptile Plesiosaur,could it be that these ancient animals survived until today?

The Captain and the crew agreed to have the  foul smelling carcass dumped back into the ocean. The total length of the carcass measured 10 meters (about 33 feet). Below is another report on living dinosaur.

And the mokele-mbembe feeds off of specific vegetation and fruit growing along the water’s edge. No matter where they have been spotted in Africa, the natives all say that hippopotamus and alligators quickly leave the section of the river where this creature roams. It is very territorial and aggressively protects its area. Every time natives are shown pictures, they quickly identify asauropod-type dinosaur, similar in shape to a small Apatosaurus. -  Adapted from http://c-ed.blogspot.com/2010/12/dinosaurs-not-millions-of-years-ago_24.html

Keep a look out for this!

Lookout! Something is coming!

Avengers Assemble! I'm back!

Being a comic book fan all my life, I was always disappointed with the movie renditions of my fav. superhero. Although we cannot blame the limited technology they had in the past, a comic book hero deserves better treatment. Don't get me started about the Transformers movies by Michael Bay, horrendous. Some may argue that Spiderman and Fantastic Four were good, I don't dispute this but they weren't GREAT were they? Some scenes maybe....X-men included but the one that really had my gears grinding was the Avengers.

Have you seen it? Really seen it? It's awesome on many levels. First the actors, I like everyone except Fury who BTW should be white. I am not a racist but FOLLOW the comic book...SHEESSH.. But that's just a small matter. Samuel L. Jackson is in too many of my fav. movies.. I tend to get dizzy. In StarWars he is Master Windu and then in another show he's ...... LOL. Next, there's Loki. He has charisma, charm and a decadent and devilish attitude. Unlike the Joker (Heath Ledger) He exudes class and evilness without the clown make-up.

The banter, what you would call chit-chat was very amusing among our heroes. It can be as long as Loki's speech or as short as Hulk's favourite two words "Hulk Smash". Then we have the Widow who's looks is matched by her skill in interrogation. Hawkeye had my vote for my latest favourite superhero, loved his arrows. Finally the CGI, what can I say but just wow, wow and wow! We had a whale like bio-mechanical troop carrier coming out of the dimensional hole only to be met by a knuckle sandwich from our green skinned gamma giant! Fantastic!

I don't know about you. I can't wait for more.

I've drawn some comics as a tribute to my favourite superheroes. Have a laugh, the are Malaysian in context, what-lah is the equivalent of "Really? You've got to be kidding!" Enjoy.

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR SOME GOOD NEWS!

Oh now! KAPOW...no more Pau!

Shanghai authorities have seized more than 6,000 steamed buns and the Chinese city’s mayor has ordered a probe after they were found to have been dyed, expired or filled with unidentified chemicals. Oh No....not again...

The allegations are the latest in a string of food safety scares to rattle consumers in China, which was rocked three years ago by a tainted milk scandal that left at least six infants dead and sickened 300,000. Yes, I remember this.

Mayor Han Zheng said in a statement issued late yesterday that anyone found guilty of tampering with the popular Chinese snack would be prosecuted and pledged that the investigation results would be released to the public.

How can a country do such a thing to its people.... ridiculous!

These steamed buns are really good. The best ones are found in Hong Kong but are available throughout the world, where there is good Dim Sum House. To think I just had a "pau" yesterday.

IS THERE LIFE OUT THERE?

Many students have asked me about the possibilty of life existing in other planets or worlds and my answer is yes. Recent news paper article claimed that scientists say there is increased belief in the possibility of discovering alien life, following revelations that 50% of stars throughout the universe have planets similar to Earth orbiting them.

(view from the ISS or International Space Station)

How cool is that? But then again, would the aliens be friendly? Professor Stephen Hawking believes that that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.”

Can you believe this guy then? He claims to have knowledge on the UFOs and aliens. Like what I was saying in class, the US government knows but doesn't tell. 'I believe in UFOs - and I've seen them', says ex-Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer - Daily Mail - ‎Feb 25, 2011‎, He goes on to add that UFOs are real, aliens have visited Earth and the US government is covering up information about them.'

Conclusion? It is a possibilty that life exist outside our own solar system. Will they be friendly, let's wait and find out.

GOT BITTEN BY A DOG

Goldie is a stray dog that wondered into our neighbourhood a week ago. The poor critter was either beaten or run over by a car, I don't know which. What I did know that it was in pain, it needed help. My mum had spotted the golden brown colour dog limping around last Tuesday and had asked my sister and I to feed it. At first we didn't want to do it but mum was adamant and we gave in.

The dog given the name Goldie by my mum, she had a broken leg with the bone sticking out of her left leg. She seemed to be responding fine to my "special cocktail" of antibiotics and pain killlers in milk. I have experience dealing with dogs so treating Goldie was no different so I thought. I had just finished Friday class and came home to find Goldie hungry.

I was hungry too but I made a trip to the local hypermarket to buy some roast chicken for the dog. I came back and fed it together with milk and other stuff. After she had finished her meal, she laid down on her side. I used this opportunity to try to set the bone back into the body. Bad idea? It must have hurt and she tried to bite me. I pulled my had away but it wasn't fast enough.

I had teeth pierce my finger and graze the sides of some fingers. OUCH! I should have gotten shots for Rabies and Tetanus but I didn't. I am okay.... I guess.

Take care! Love all animals!

Poor Us... Poor Argentina

4-0 is a score that I imagine would be pretty hard to swallow. But to be fair the German side played good that day. I just wish the score wasn't a complete whitewash. So, in the end it looks like it will be Holland vs Spain.


Argentina paid the price for lapse in defence, this chance was siezed upon by Germany with its trident of direct forwards. It simply will tore into the Argentines. It ripped through Australia, ripped through England and in the Quarterfinal, Argentina's defenders to stood around watching Germans run past them! Dear oh dear....

My Prediction for World Cup Winner

I've been saying to my students which team I think will take the cup. It's none other than Argentina. Proving that they are a football power house under the guidance of Diego Maradonna, Argentina thrashed South Korea 4 - 1. I look forward to the teams fine run and ultimately their victory!

South Korea put on a terrific show against Greece during its first game of the World Cup and full credit must be given to this squad as it looked very sharp. But in their match against Maradonna's side, it was a very rude awakening indeed for this Asian squad. The better team was the Argentinians.

Viva Argentina!

New Look for a New Year....hehe half year already

I've been really fortunate these past months, everything is going fine and I love teaching all of you guy and gals. I am really sorry some of you don't get to be in my class, still I am always here for you. For the past month, I enjoyed teaching the Sunday morning Pro1 and Pro 2 as well as Pro 3 in the afternoon very much. Now sad to say I am back working Saturdays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

I teach about 4 classes on Saturday 1pm - 8-45pm (Eg1, Pro3(2) and two Int Writing Classes), Mondays 2 classes 7.15pm -10.15pm which are Starter Conversation and Starter. Then on Tuesdays its Starter and Kiddo Chat 2 from 7.15pm -10.15pm also. Maybe they'll need me to teach on Sundays again later, who knows?

Many have commented that I should start a drawing class, what do you think? Its just a hobby for me. I am thinking of making T-shirts and other things with my drawing too!

Okay... enough chatting. Stay good, ya?
