The guys I know, most notably, my own brother, had a ridiculous craze over it. It was his version of my Power Rangers and Transformers.
And Dragon Ball Z was all about this seven set of balls. I think it's seven lah. Can't remember the exact number. Or was it 9 balls.
Anyway, according to my poor memory, bringing all the balls together will summon a dragon who will grant you three (or was it one) wish, irregardless of whether the wish was for better or worse.
And now, thanks to a colleague's intro.. I actually found that they have handphone strap in the shape of the balls!!!!
Let's all sit back and enjoy those good ol' days...
I LOVE INTERNET SHOPPING!

Move House!
Saturday, February 16, 2008
No, don't need get a shock.
I was referring to the office.
Our office table. We spend more time at the table then anywhere else in the world.
And darned. I realised I forgot to take photo.
Anyway I've changed my seat. From seating outside the GM's office, I have changed to seating outside the GM's office.
What luck! Can you believe it?
My new seat is at the opposite of where I originally was.
The worst part was during the renovation, they cleared everyone to the new side of the office as a temporary arrangement. I thought I was lucky. I only had to move to the Sales side which means I just pick up my things, walk over and dump it on the little table.
The others had to pack their things in unsealed boxes because they still had to move over. Our office is like.. big not big, small not small. But to summarise, it was still very far from the old place.
So there I was seating at my temp seat, contented. But not for long. Very soon when the renovation guys came in, the sound of drilling, the hammering, and the super duper strong stench of glue smell whacked me.
Every manager that walked past me in the afternoon asked if I was okay with the smell. I nodded my head, having just hastily flipped from my msn chatting screen when I heard approaching footsteps.
It was later on in the evening when my babies (ya, the team) came back to office that I was reminded that sniffing at that strong glue smell can make you addicted, and feel high.
You can feel high anywhere in the world, but at the office.
And I also talked to a colleague over dinner at night who used to be from the police force. It was very interesting, chasing after snatch thieves the whole time. He spoke of how when the CNB police would raid a place, and how they would have to get ready to clear the corpses because it usually would end up in one or two superman cases. People high on drugs tend to be unable to foresee that jumping off 10 storeys would ultimately result in smashed brain over the concrete pavement.
Peepz, don't do drugs.
Wait. I can't believe we talked about smashed brains over dinner. We ate chilli crab too.
*VOMIT*

Happy New Year!
Wednesday, February 06, 2008
I don't know how many other people would be blogging at such a time, but here I am!!
In anticipation of the Chinese New Year, Joon decided to lay 2 eggs. Unfortunately, while cleaning her cage I accidentally broke one of it. Minutes after the following photo was taken:
Thankfully it was out of her sight, or else she would have killed me. I don't know how, but she would have. But then again, she had already 'abandoned' the eggs and kicked them around the cage so I guess she didn't really minded it.
But I had the chance, finally, to see how it looks like inside her egg. No, no photos. But then I tell you it is exactly the same as a chicken's egg. Except for the yolk. It's damn cute! Small little tiny yolk. It feels disgusting but amazing at the same time, I don't know what to make out of it.
Life is amazing.
Mother Nature is amazing too, you know. It's amazing how plants under the sun can flourish... Or bear the weight of stupid CNY ornaments.. such as my Christmas plant that I put on my office desk!!
It's also amazing how Mother Nature gave us this plant.. I forgot the name, for us to weave wicker baskets. Wick baskets. Wicker baskets. Aiya, is Wick or Wicker? Weak or Weaker... HAHA... But anyway, this is a very nice ong lai hamper we received at the office :)
Best of all, Mother Nature gave us.. yes, you got it... CRYSTALS....
Here's Specky. Speckled. The name damn chim. I don't know how to type it out. I don't think its considered rutilated quartz (Fa Jing). It's chinese name is called 'You Ling'.. which happens to sound the same as "haunting soul"... not a very nice name..
There are different You Lings in the market. Most common (or so I think) is Luu You Ling. Green You Ling. There's also alot of other colours as well. I think Specky belongs to the Black one.

Labradorite...
Saturday, February 02, 2008
Yes. Amazingly one of the crystal I got is actually called Labradorite!
What a coincidence!!
In case you are going "Huh?" I'm actually referring to this one:
I bought even more smaller baby pieces. The shop charge by weight, and so far it was the only one I know of that sold such nice huge pieces of Labradorite. Comparing to many crystals, it is cheap.
Some of the more expensive crystals, is Amber. But technically speaking, Amber is not a crystal in the first place. It's supposed to be the 'zup'.. of a kind of pine tree that is now extinct.
I think this pine tree really has nothing to do but to bleed 'zup' all day. Thankfully though, its 'zup'.. or should I call it, tree resin, can solidify and form really nice pieces of what is modern day's amber.
In the process of this 'zup' flow, sometimes insects are caught and dies in this zup. Needless to say, I found out without much of a surprise that amber pieces that has preserved dead insects trapped in it cost much more than pieces that don't.
In fact, I got myself one. One without dead insects of course. I've seen one with TERMITES TRAPPED IN IT! Talk about working in Pest Control... Haha. So Termites existed millions of years ago. Wow.
Another wow-factor was that this pine tree is now extinct. Millions of years ago, in fact, and most of them fall within the age range of 30-90 million years ago.
Wtf. I suddenly feel as if I am doing a school project. Speaking of which I just finished doing up presentation slides with my blardy irritating group-mate, Gum Sai, whom I believe made it one of his life mission to make me pissed. All in good humour, of course.
And on the way back, guess who I saw.
"What's that?" I asked Gum Sai, right before we both said in unison "The Monopoly Man!!" I immediately thought of my good ol' friend Lena, from my Temasek Poly days, who worked for Hashbro, Hasbro.. Aiya, that company that handles the game lah. I took a long time to pronounce it correctly when I first saw it, and now I guess I will take longer to remember the spelling.
Before I could even think further, someone came charging at me. I was so shocked I almost pushed that person away with full strength before I realised it was... who else... Lena.
Who promptly made us vote for Singapore as one of the cities to be included in Monopoly. Supposedly they will proportion it according to the country's reported population, so, what are you waiting for? Go vote!
I really hope if Singapore really gets in (we're ranked at No. 41 right now, and we have to be in Top 20 to get in).. it won't be that brown coloured property that is right at the Go! area. . You know. . the Old Kent Lane area...
Yucks.
And here's a pic of one of the recent company event. It suddenly dawned on me how many vehicles we really have when the techs all returned to the office for the monthly Divisional Meeting. . . We had to park all the way to Joo Seng which is near the Mt Vernon cemetery side!!
