Survivor lesson



Just finished watching Survivor: China. It's been some time since i catch up with the show again. The last Survivor show i remembered was Survivor All Stars which Amber won the million bucks. I was actually quite surprised this show is still going strong in its ratings and is entering its 16th season in the coming February.

After watching the show. I would say Todd actually deserve to win the million bucks because he really outwit and outlast the game. Bare in mind this is a game, from the moment you participate in it, you know there will be alliances, backstabbing, lying, cheating whatever. The thing is how you got people to vote for you at last while you back stabbed and cheated him/her .




Plenty of lessons to be learned from Survivor.

1. In order to defeat your enemy, you must know his/her weaknesses. (Todd got his alliances to vote off Jean Rober once he knew that JR knew the hidden immunity secret. Todd certainly knows that Jean Rober's big mouth gonna screw his plan and stir people's mind around)

2. Know your own strength and weaknesses. (Todd knew he's not physically the strongest, being the dwarf among the guys, he immediately form alliance with Amanda from day one and pull in the weakest member Courtney to avoid attack from his group)

3. Stay rational and think before you act. (Todd sure knows how to sabotage Amanda's reputation by spilling out that she back stabbed Denise in front of the jury, even though it's unintentional. He persuaded Amanda to vote for Denise by telling her Denise might get the sympathy votes from the jury, good analysis Todd)




The coming season is Survivor: Micronesia Fans vs Favorites . Can't wait!!

yet another tragedy...

here's another bus crash accident on the highway. The bus driver has 13 outstanding summonses issued against him!! Why on earth would the bus company let this demon drive and risk the 39 innocent passengers' lives?!!

One of the three victims who died in this horrible accident is a bright young medical student Nian Ning. It's just so sad to see this kinda tragedy happen endlessly yet the authority act like they have nothing to do with it.

Some of the survivors witnessed the driver was speeding and SMSing while driving in heavy rain!! o_O Are you kidding me?!!

Friends of Nian Ning is setting up a petition against the bus company, please raise your force to end this heartbreaking tragedy for once and for all.

Help Nian Ning’s Family, Fight With Them.

GreenValley cafe, SS2 PJ

these photos were taken soooooo many months ago. Had my lunch here with few of my colleagues at SS2, Petaling Jaya. We were scouting for some nice place to have some nice food. But ended up with bad food with expensive bill!! (freaking not worth it) =(

As it was a public holiday, uncle sim drove us out to have lunch. We ended up having our lunch at GreenValley Cafe at SS2. This cafe was taken over and revonated from the previous "Butt Kin Butt Sun" 不见不散 HK restaurant which is just opposite the famous Wong Kok Char Chan Teng.

Noticed the crowd at Wong Kok, we decided to try our luck at this newly opened cafe...


The restaurant owner renovated the restaurant into a modern asian interior...


We ended up being late from lunch because of this!! They took a freaking 45 minutes to prepare a nasi lemak?! And we don't find anything special with it o_O


Overpriced mee siam that the taste is not good at all and I can probably buy 5 plates full of mee siam at the hawker stall opposite my office!!


some blah soda...


cintan instant noodle that i cook myself taste anytime better than this....


still consider edible.... at least



all of us didn't really enjoy the food and hopefully there will be some improvement the next time i visit them (will i ever?)...

Taiwan cuisine @The Gardens

met up with Kit Ying, Mui Siew and Jo the other day and had a long brunch at The Gardens Mid Valley. We decided to try out the Taiwan restaurant that opened recently.

It's something new for me, Taiwan food is still rare compare to other mainstream food like western, fastfood, japs etc

Some of the appetizers are quite exotic and not all of us might eat it such as the fried intestine and organs =_="


Ordered two pots of flower tea, i like the fragrant and it actually taste drinkable for once, the secret is you have to mix the flower with tea leaves like oolong.


salthy fried chicken set 盐酥鸡, crunchy with lots of MSG hehe...


3 cups chicken set 三杯鸡, taste like Gung Bou style 宫保 with mixture of white rice wine flavour yummy!


still sizzing hot yay!!


Minced pork set


Kit ying ordered the egg wrapped rice, Taiwan version of nasi pattaya haha...


Mui Siew ordered fried ribs bento set, crunchy!!





No it's not fried intestine hehe...


spring roll aka popiah lor...


we hadn't meet for a long time so had a really long girly chat there... started eating at 12pm and left at 3pm haha...refilled our teas countlessly haha...


last but not least fried salthy chicken again hehe...


Overall, i like the food and their comfort seating! ^.^
