Happy Ball Ball - Merry Christmas

Today is Friday! It is the Winter Solstice Day or in chinese, we named it 冬至 (Donz-Zhi). It is a day where family gathered to have a bowl of glutinous rice + pandan soup. MMmmmmm.... In other words, the chinse believes that you'll grow up one year older after having the glutinous rice.

I still remember I was quite silly to have such though of growing older by eating tons of glutinous rice. Like... if I am 23 now, I eat 5 balls = 28 years old! HAHAHA! How Silly. Well that was me when I'm 12 years old!


Tang Yuan

Now I'm the tropica island celebrating this festival. By right you should enjoy a bowl of hot glutinous rice in winter, otherwise we don't called it Winter Solstice Day! But anyway, this is an important day for the chinese around the world in uniting one another.

Meanwhile, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Opening! Check out the flash below for a bit of your entertaining! :) Merry christmas, whoever you are, wherever you are. Everyone is welcome here! 2 more days counting.....

The Ferrari Show - Interesting Borneo

Humans are like that. When there is something happening to someone or something that is famous in the society, people might capture an interest of knowing it; especially something hardcore going on. The following accident was shot on December 17th December in South Perth...

The crowds
The lamp post still standing firm after the impact!
Poor guy ended up his car like that!

The engine are much more expensive than the body.
Anyhow, it's all handmade.

Now everyone's got excited with the driver and the accident
Curiosity of the engine and body outlook as well. haha

It was tolled away to prevent any scratch from those people!
haha!
The New Hope
Early this morning, I saw this! New Species found in Borneo.
The amazing thing was, our Borneo island still preserve the rare and extinct species and might I say, Borneo is one of the most important centers of biodiversity for researches in the world! Each day, a new species can be found here and if they are lucky enough to find Dinasour Eggs or preserved anomalies here. haha! That'll bloom our Borneo's faith as one of the most valuable, interesting and adventurous place on earth! Glad that Kuching, Sarawak is in Borneo ^^;

Some political & global businesses face off

So if you are to migrate for any reasons, DON'T! Should you be a Permanant Resident or something and just don't give up with your Malaysian Citizen (SARAWAK especially). It's a foolish choice to give up your residency in Sarawak because I believe one day, our city will be one of the busiest compared to Singapore, States or even KL. It's just the matter of time foreign investors trying to hook with the white hair and sign some deals on but unfortunately heavy tax had driven them away for the past few years, causing a slight fall out on our economy (locals), whereas supplies and resources are limited (majorly we apply the resources from west malaysia) and we simply cannot move up 10 levels with our own domestic businesses. He have to go Internationally. Anyhow, corruption in Malaysia should be diminish else our new generations will not learn and continue the same thing again / lay offs.

I have a bit of opinion for certain country which loves to invest in big countries for some reasons or helping some poor countries and built up their economy. I think there is a 'cow' behind those rocks! But common things on these situations of course, are mainly cheap labours, suppliers and resources on the surface. Again, I still think there is a big 'cow' behind those rocks! Much to say; globalize the market as one of the top leading country in the world (one day), taking over The States place. Maybe it's not the time for a ripe apple to fall off the tree. The clock is ticking and times tell. Anyhow, these issue also brought me to a 2nd thought that International business relations are so much very important to secure our local economies otherwise we simply can't live with domestic businesses (again).
