Day of hilarious road trip, paintball fun and scrumptious seafood.
I love The Corrs since my Secondary school days. Their album: Talk On Corners was the very first CD that I actually bought. 10 years today, they still look gorgeous, especially Andrea!
Anyway the other day I was on iTunes store looking for new music and I happened to stumble upon this song: When the Stars Go Blue. What caught my attention was that it is a song sang by The Corrs and U2′s Bono. The 30 seconds preview was what I needed to declare it My Current Favourite Song and My Current Most Played Song!
Did a little research on the song and found out that it’s orignally by Ryan Adams and it has been sang by many other artises including Tim McGraw. Among them, I still like the Corrs + Bono version best. Below is a clip of the song performed by The Corrs and Bono at Live 8. Enjoy the lovely clip!
In the wee hours of Friday, a semi-conscious me somehow happened to step on my spectacles (Oakley Jack Knife 4.0). Yes, my full body load on it.
As I tried to restore its badly bent frame to the original shape, the fishing line that holds the left lens broke; and the lens was dislodged. From the looks of it, it was goner. Time to make a new pair of specs. To make matters worst, I do not have my spare specs with me. (Oakley Wiretap) Although I didn’t have high hopes for it being repaired, I decided to head down to my optical shop to try my luck.
Piece by piece I took out my Jack Knife. The salesperson took a quick glance and told me, “Ohh, this one. No problem.” What a relieve.
I ask her how long would it take. She said 20 minutes. (20 MINUTES!) Then I asked her how much would it cost. She told me it’s under warranty, free of charge. GREAT!
20 minutes later, they restored the frame into its original form (albeit some scratch marks from the clamps), changed the fishing lines of both lens, tightened the screws, cleaned the silicone nose bridge padding. My specs were as good as new!
I felt so good to have bought Oakley. For the high price that I pay, it comes with quality, durability and a lifetime warranty.

Interesting!
He is one of the few people that I respect. His philosophies in life as well as food is admirable. He’s got a temper, yet at the same time, a very controlled personality. His charisma is alluring. He is Marco Pierre White.
Here’s two qoutes from one of his most recent show: Marco’s Great British Feast. It’s a very inspiring show by the way, I highly recommend it.
“… If you caught a fish every time you went…You’ll get bored. That’s the beauty of it…”
“…I never get nervous, I leave it to the people around me…”

Russian food ain’t that special after all. I still prefer their vodka =)
Fuller’s London Pride. Love the rich, creamy taste. It has a subtle sweetness to it too. Available at Ice-Cold Beer
Karaoke to me is noise pollution.. oh no hang on, it’s not.. it’s torture.
After reading an article on PopSci, I’ve learn not to put the blame on those torture bringers. According to the article, it has been scientifically proven that they are sub-consciously unaware of what they are doing. Yes, they are in a distorted reality while doing their “thing”.
Here’s an excerpt:
After a number of acoustic tests, the researchers discovered that most of the singers who couldn’t follow a song’s pitch and timing fell into the first of two phenotypes: they were tone deaf yet blissfully unaware of it. The remainder of the poor singers had no trouble judging a proper note, yet were unable to hit it themselves, and knew it.
