Soshiok.com - $500 aphrodisiac - elephant's durian dung

How much would you pay for Aphrodisiac when it comes in the form of DURIAN ? Aha ! I got your attention there ...although I'm not sure whether it's "Aphrodisiac" or "Durian". As far as I'm concerned I would not pay SGD500.00 for aphrodiasiac - Holy Cow, nobody should be convinced there is such a thing by now !

A friend came across the following article and obviously thought I was in the market after having been told by Dr. Phil that I had some problems with an over-imaginative mind. Anyway he sent the article to me and I am sharing it with yous. Soshiok.com, which is a Blogsite within ASIAONE, allows it to be shared through other blogs and social networks.

Soshiok.com - $500 aphrodisiac - elephant's durian dung

I am a very big fan of Durian but certainly not after it's been through the digestive system of an elephant ...aphrodisiac or not.

Beauty

Watch and listen to the TED presention :-

Interesting ? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wonder how is this related to Beauty is only skin deep ?

Diamond Head and Pipeline

During the moments of pause in between Posts I think it's good to bring in some music to jingle those bells in our attics and churn up some memories of old times.

Where were you during the era of "SURF " music ? What were you doing ? Who were you with ?
Surf music began during the mid 60s and early 70s. The Bands most associated with this kind of sound were The Beach Boys, The Chantays, Jan and Dean and many others. One particular band which stood out from the crowd were The Ventures and here they are with their brand of "Diamond Head and Pipeline. " We only listened to them before over the radio and through records, Now with the Internet and YouTube we can at last SEE them in action.



Alas two of them who are featured here, co-founder Bob Bogle and the drummer Mel Taylor, have passed on to join the heavenly band in the sky. Bob was the original Lead Guitarist but he switched places with original Bass player, Nokie Edwards who is not present in this particular lineup.

Enjoy and I hope this brought back some sweet memories for yous.

Rose and 33 Thorns

Francis has been very efficient and sent the updated collage (14 Nov), below. There are name tags and more photos, but Francis is still MIA!

Joint my chant:
WE WANT TO SEE FRANCIS! 

Rose and 24 Thorns

There used to be Rose and Thorne Pub in downtown Vancouver. It has been renamed.

The wonderful collage below was created by Francis in September 2010, and should have a proud place on this blog.

Do you notice one big omission? There is no photo of Francis!

Join my chorus
"WE WANT TO SEE FRANCIS' PHOTO!"

Mini Reunion at ERAMA, Kuching - Ewin and Alice Wright's

BREAKING NEWS -----This just in from Alan Chan :-

Pete Kuek's Country Classic Fan Club Gathering

Pete Kuek, no stranger to Kuching's Nightlife and Music scene, is a BIG Country and Western Music fan. He used to own and managed the "Pink Panther Pub" where country music "lived" in Kuching. The late Skeeter Davies whom we all loved through her song "It's the end of the World" which was a very big hit, performed there. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of nights at "The Pink Panther" many many moons ago and I remember I had a blast ! It was a place where you could let your hair down, have fun without any inhibitions, howl at the moon or yodel to your heart's content all night long and no bouncer would throw you out for being outrageous. Yes, Pete was a swinger and he had a swinging pub!
And as it appears, he still is ! Members of The Country Classic Fan Club of Kuching got together last month at the "Regal Court" (I dont remember the name of the Building but I know it's opposite our favourite Laksa place on the other side of the road.) and from the photos Pete posted, you can tell they had a Ball. Pete went as Sheriff LOBO who undoubtedly was very popular with the Cowgals ! Anyway, I 'll shut up and let the photos do the talking.

Cowgals, Candles and Cake !!!!

Oh they had a C & W Band as well...(background)

The Magnificent 6 ? What happened to 7th ?

Sheriff Lobo and his Deputies.....more than he can handle !

Sheriff Lobo arm-wrestling or square dancing ?

Our Golden Reunion 11-11-11 is just around the corner. Will we also have a BLAST ?

Day Care Center

Modern day Mothers are so fortunate compared to mothers of yesteryears. Today mothers have "Day Care Centers" to take care and watch their brood whilst they perform their wifely duties.....and for the career women....carry on their business or day jobs. Day Care Centers take away the burden of having to look after the kids for the multi-tasking mother.

We are talking about the kids and that is when they are not in school. What about the Fathers when they are not at work...........or at the Golf Course ?

Someone who, in my books is a genius, has come up with a wonderful idea.....DAY CARE CENTER FOR HUSBANDS !



This photo was sent by a friend via e-mail so it must have been going around in cyber-space for all to see. So there should not be any copy rights attached to it. (I hope).

Wherever this is supposed to be, I would like to congratulate the owner of this Pub for such a brilliant idea.

He has created the perfect "Win/Win" situation : Wife happy because she knows where husband's at. Husband.....aiya sure happy lah...how can not happy when in a pub ! Got beer, got Coke, got Tapas and Peanuts, got friends to shoot the breeze with, got Dart Board and maybe a Pool Table, got Karaoke and most of all .....BILL SETTLED BY WIFE !

As We Look Back

Rewind to the late 50's when this classic was one of the most popular songs released, one that was heard all over town, not the least at the many kampung bangsawans and even the annual fun fairs at St Michael's club. Nonetheless, it should trigger your memories of your teenage years.

Noel definitely feels this song has a speshul place in his sentimental heart and will be very happy to share it with yous!

Sexy Stuff

One of the reasons for the lack of traffic to our blog is deemed to be "Not Sexy Enough". Of course "sexy" in this context is a little bit of a synonym so no......no PG rating is required. What the reader meant is : Topics are not exciting enough and I tend to agree.

Professional Copy writers have a way to attract readers by their headings, captions and headlines when they produce promotional ads. We must try to do that. Here's my attempt :-



I hope that's "Sexy" enough for you ! Anyway I hope you enjoy it and will drop in again soon.

It is awfully quiet here in our blog so I thought I'd better liven it up with a humourous clip which a friend (Incidentally his surname is Yong) found on YouTube. This is a spoof done obviously by a Sabahan. Guess who he might be referring to as the "Sabahan Ip Man".

I reckon you all understand the "Sin On" Hakka dialect...as opposed to the "Hoppo" Hakka of Kuching.

Enjoy :-

Form 3 A 1959 - Brother Xavier

I have appointed myself the "FILLER" of this blog and I shall assume the responsibility of posting "fillers" when I detect inactivity for 24 hours.

Here is a photo of Form 3 A of 1959 with Brother Xavier as the Class Master (I forget what you call them those days...the head teacher of the class).

I remember everyone but can only recognise :-

Gerald Lee, Gus Bong, Chan Kheng Lee, Pete Kuek, Noel Tan, Hong Siong, Ashari, Khun Jian, Sharkawi, Peter Nyaid, Simon Ngui, Gabriel Dan, Will Chang, Poh Lee Jin, James Lee, Yue Ching Hoi.



Sorry guys the photo is a bit faded so you'd have to put your Cut and Paste skills to work to see a larger and clearer picture. I copied and saved it as a .JPEG file to a speshul folder and then I used "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" to see an enlarged photo.

Can yous name the others ?
