Animaniacs: Countries of the World

Ok, if you think that the Ok-Go dance was a bit too challenging for you to emulate, try this one out from one of my favorite childhood cartoons of all time, the ANIMANIACS!



There are alot more versions of this video that are very educational based on this song, but this is the original.

Notice that Singapore and Brunei were not mentioned... HAH!!!

Or if you think you have mastered the Ok-Go dance, then try this new version...



Have Fun~!

Bambuddha Lounge

It was a full Saturday for grocery shopping with Kwan. In the evening, I fetched Kwan again and we headed to Castro Street in Mountain View where we would rendezvous with Wei Foong (WF), Shae Hui (SH) and Hilarree for dinner at Tofu House, a Korean restaurant. The food was okay... not very spectacular as I believe I've tried better ones.

The highlight of the evening however was a trip to San Francisco that night! It was already 9pm, and WF, SH and me headed to SF to meet up with Hans and company for some lounge experience (at least for me... as I've never been to a lounge before).

It was bittersweet memories for me as we drove into SF as it was the first time after 10 years since I've been to San Francisco~! Didn't get to see much as it was already at night, but you could at least see some of the buildings nicely lit up and the very gradient roads.

The lounge we went to is called Bambuddha Lounge. $20 BLOODY BUCKS COVER CHARGE!!!! and it doesn't come with any drinks!!! Each drink is $10 too! and they suck!

Well, my first impression of Bambuddha was very mediocre. The inside was very chic and packed with matured (if that's the correct word) guests... unlike some of the Ah-Beng clubs you get in KL. As the night drew later, the songs started to change to Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern songs (remixed of course)!!! Not surprising that there were many modern middle eastern guests over there having a good time.

We left at around 12.30am for some mamak, SF style! We went to S & E cafe on 19th Avenue. Not a bad place to eat. A bit overpriced but the food is good. Headed home at around 1.30am.

Now I just need to be super thrifty and get a job quick before my account balance reduces to two digits!!!

I look like...

Okay, the continuous boredom has led me from one website to another. Exploring/Living the virtual world while knowing the the real world doesn't have much to offer.

So I came upon MyHeritage and it uses a face recognition program that matches your face to other people, or in the option I chose, celebrities!

These are the results...

• I look like Stephen Chow?!?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?!?!?!
• And who the heck is Yundi Li?! Like monkey only!
• Can't say much about Jay Chou. I only know him as that blur person in Initial-D
  
• Haha! Mark Wahlberg, I wish I had his physique too!
• Jared Padalecki? Rory's first boyfriend from Gilmore Girls? Luckily the match was off at 64% only.

Apparently if you upload different photos of yourself, the results may differ.
You guys who call me Andy Lau, Crayon Shin-Chan, panda/polar/pooh/yogi bear are all so wrong and this proves it! *though there's no option for matching with animals... BUT STILL!!

I don't know what these guys at MyHeritage are planning to do with this technology, but this is cheap fun!

Tell me which celebrity you look like~

Time Stops

Life in California has always been known to be swanky, beautiful and hot. Well, I don't feel it...
Okay, maybe the California description was a little bit off... but I can surely say that i'm not getting any swanky but rather sulky by the minute!

Shae-Hui (Wei Foong's gf) visited this weekend for an interview, now Wei Foong is in Boston for a few days, and Shae Hui is in LA to visit her relatives. That leaves the entire house to me. I'm telling you, the loneliness is giving me the dead brainz!

My schedule has been usual; wake up, surf a little, watch TV, eat, and apply to jobs every once in awhile in between them all. It has been two weeks already and today I finally got my first interview. I was pretty excited and I've been preparing for it. The interview went pretty well, and I just hope for the best.

Other than that, I've been watching the Food Network and learning up some new recipes and I hope to implement some food projects. Here's one I recently implemented with Shae Hui:




Point of no return! The ingredients are going into the oven, regardless! That's Shae Hui with the funny face.











Walla! Crab and Ricotta Cannelloni









The search for a job is a pretty difficult task. Unlike selling books in the summer of 2005, I have no control over who will even want to talk to me; whereas in the summer, I can follow leads, customize my presentation to different customers, and show the selling point and close the sale in a snap! But if there's one thing in common about job searching and selling books, they are unpredictable. I just hope with patience that unprecedented calls for interviews will popup like crazy and have the chance to secure a position.

Chicken Stew

Now that I've settled in and living on a budget, I started cooking.

Yep, you heard me right! Iron chef Sean is in the kitchen... okay, maybe I haven't reached chef status yet, but last night I made a fantastic chicken stew!







Thanks Mom, for the recipe!







Also (some time ago), during my healthy diet haydays, I created this simple fruit yogurt that tastes great! Looks good too huh?!















Damnit! I got nothing to blog about anymore other than food!
