Aunty's Joke

Blue Crayfish


I went to my usual fish shop,
saw finally blue crayfish.

Becoz it's quite rare,
I decided to include it
as a companion to my orange one.

While setting my eyes on other tanks,
an aunty walked in and talked  in hokkien
with the cashier aunty (guess she's the boss & her friend)
as she pulled a packet of shrimps from a tank.

"Wah, yellow shrimps...
真的美"

She saw the price written by a blue marker
tat reads $40.

"钱更加美!"

What a joker.

As I proceeded to the cashier aunty for payment,
heard shrimp aunty asking
for a filter specifically for shrimps.

As our eyes met,
sensing she's a friendly person,
I spoke to her:

"You rearing shrimps?"

"Ya"

"Easy to survive?"

"No"

Surprised aunty would be interested to invest
in shrimps tat doesn't last.

She also had her own qns for me.

"Wah, u buying crayfish huh?
So big!"

"Ya, 好嘛,
大了可以煮来吃"

Both aunties gave a burst of laughter

Nvr expected tat shrimp aunty to chip in such reply:

"我也是,
我每次都煮了放在 
Mee Siam 给她(cashier aunty) 吃!"

Gosh! Damn joker.
She's referring to the shrimps.
Mee Siam always have alot of shrimps (虾米)

Wrigley's Doublemint Mint


Wrigley's Doublemint


I bought this mint from an old store.
Becoz of its brand.


Source- frm the net


Wrigley's Doublemint Mint!

I like chewing gum Doublemint,
but as Singapore banned
chewing gum for yrs liao,
this might just be the substitute.

The taste?
No chewy aftermath.
But wait...

I can't expect it to mimic the taste of their chewing gum,
since chewing gum tastes just peppermint,
without any extraordinary taste to call their own.

I'm silly to assume this can be a substitute for the gum,
since the joy of eating chewing gum IS the ability to chew.
And keeps chewing.
Just ask Alex Ferguson.

This is just a mint from the gum company Wrigley.
Not bad as mint- taste is quite strong & refreshing.

nostalgic bird toy

Gliding bird?!


Look wat I've got.
At this toy shop selling numerous toys,
including some old stuff.

This one near cashier caught my eyes.

Gosh, this one last tme my fav.
It was so commonly found in Mama shop.


 wide variety


Used to cost only few cents,
I got quite a few of them last tme,
all seems so attractive to the old me.

It brings back fond memories,
I can still reme some of those birds,
can reme those days when I happily opened the pack,
joined the parts,
and started flying them in hse/downstairs.

I kw this yellow bird was my fav,
thankfully as I searched through the packets,
I found the last piece.

My 2nd fav- Great Eagle.
Tat's out of stock.
Don't think I'll get it  anyway.


the parts...

Compared to kids nowadays
who have iphone, ipad, remote toys.
This was wat we played with.
This was our toy.
Manual somemore.

Talkin abt remote cars-
My 1st one took yrs to save up,
and tonnes of saliva to persuade my mum.

 completed! ready to fly


Alright!
Completed, test flight, ready to fly.
I'll show it and play
with my nephew when he is here.

Harry Porter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 2


It all ends

The much awaited finale is here.
Although not a Harry's fan,
I find no reason to miss this final,
since I've watched most of the sequel (I missed at least two),
and this being the classic tat have caught the world.

How I feel:

The show rolls on with a previous ending scene frm Part 1,
of elated Lord Voldemort with his newly found wand.

As the epic battle between good and evil forces
of the wizard world gets ever imminent,
the tense+fearful vibe gets amplified every min.

The good joining their wizard powers to form a shield,
the tonnes of evil forces congregating
and vehemently attacking towards the school, etc etc...
all points to a grand finale showdown.

Then of course the main villain,
Lord Voldemort.
I'll like to pay a little tribute to him.

With a pale face,
few green veins on his bald head,
and an unfanciful cloak,
his overall outlook certainly a poor exemplary of great evil.

Yet, this guy (laud Ralph Fiennes's acting)
is able to strike fear.

The way he glides himself ard,
vanishing and appearing frm thin air...
U kw he is just a poor guy with a missing nose,
yet his mystic seems to spell more darkness and venom.
Perhaps the ans is the cloak,
u'll never kw what's in his sleeves.

There is this scene when Lord Voldemort
"broadcast" his message over the air,
promising to spare the rest if they hand over Harry Porter.

Altho I can't recall the whole paragraph,
I like his string of words.
Succinct, at the same time, driving his message.

His words show his fearfully inimitable side,
enough to make the weak despair.

Ah Long should learn frm him.

Yes, he is bald but at least have substance.
Good PR skills indeed.

Those who have not watch & plans to,
pay attention to his language.


Also cheers to Harry Porter for confronting death in such a brave way.
He knows he have to die to end it all, to save his friends,
and he gamely shows up in front of the devil.

Wat a kid!
Something we shld take from him to our real life.

Despite all the positive,
when it all matters, it blown out.
Heavy thunder with few raindrops.

They talked abt the most powerful wand in the world,
yet the best of it I've seen is the bright green lights.

Battle between Harry and Voldemort
is mere catfight of pulling faces+heads while rolling in swirling wind,
and pointing of wands at each other.
Such school boy fight...I desire more magic at least.

Furthermore, the way Lord Voldemort die, damn weak.
After his death, it draws up the curtain and confirm my suspicion-
he's just a lonely guy without a nose.



My Review:
TWO OUT OF FIVE

It's Harry Porter and the best of wizard tale,
thus I expect more for its ending.

Sadly, it does not quench my thirst
for a majestic magical showdown.

Sadly, a true classic tale of wizards ends so softly.

Anyway, it will still be a hit,
irregardless of watever ending the author choose-
She can conclude tat
Lord Voldemort dies frm food poisoning due to his long fingernails,
and yet people will still flock to the cinemas.

Perhaps, perhaps...just like wat someone said in the show:
It is the wand choosing the wizard.

Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout

Espresso Stout


We went pub for Hitachino's beer.
Went for White Ale,
wif Denan giving the thumbs up,
& me affirming my loyalty to it.

We went for the next kill,
Sweet Stout,
but were disappointed by words frm waiter tat
due to popularity it was sold out.

Wif nothing interesting on the menu,
we decided on Espresso Stout,
not available in supermarket.

Espresso Stout appears a dark brown colour with aromas
and flavours dominated by rich roasted dark coffee beans,
bittersweet chocolate, mocha, cocoa and caramel.

Gosh wat a heavy mix,
again quite similar to sweet stout
as mentioned in my earlier post,
chocolate+coffee mix.

This one differs in the promise
of roasted dark coffee beans instead of just coffee.
Espresso indeed.

We'r both not stout fans,
thus were taken aback by its strong taste,
with immediate bitterness dominating our palate

The roasted coffee beans was strong.

To us, this is Kopi Gao, without sugar.
Sweet Stout is kind of Kopi O (sugar added Kopi).

Again, chocolate, mocha, cocoa and caramel
were difficult to identify.

Nevertheless, it's a smooth stout,
something stout drinkers shld find extraordinary.

Molting


The shell

Saw the crayfish laying there,
wif its head twisted.

I tot it's dead.
Another dead body,
this tme not in reservoirs but in my tank.

Then took another look,
The crayfish was right behind.

Molting!
Part of a growing up process.
First tme came across this.

I did a close examination on the shell (exoskeleton).

On the appearance, it's a full crayfish, without the eyes.
Just like a photocopied image.

The legs, the cheliped ("pincers" in layman's term)
and amazingly the two antennas are fully intact.
How they managed
to have double pair of antenna in a nite?

Also, there's no signs of cracks.

Left me wondering hw it shed it's clothes.
Great escapee I supposed.



shell, next to the "naked" crayfish

The new shell looks reddish.
Frm wat I've got frm googling,
the shell is extremely thin & vunerable.
Two days later the shell will harden
to become its next armored exterior.
