Things changed rather drastically come October last year. I've been coming to terms with changes happening around me and am aware that such changes will continue to happen regardless how bad I feel.<br /><br />Hence, I've decided to continue blogging. It may be a little late in the year for a 2008 entry but this is my first so I'm going to make the best of it.<br /><br />Earlier this month I was in New York City for an event hosted by Pixar (Yes, that Pixar. The ones who made Toy Story, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc. Etc). I pretty much enjoyed the one day I had to walk around New York City, I saw lots of different sights and sounds that I've seen so often in movies.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0v0KTUCcr43iJd0AAbdIPv9sU3aK664D-ztX0NdpnPwTyFAkwZHQgB10H6nT0SbiWjx_7s6gwsH3OI7warF_Ev5mGISAL_IlspG07siN5HZ7XOq9Us2WcqGuHsL1c3FzBT_Ef/s1600-h/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+079.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0v0KTUCcr43iJd0AAbdIPv9sU3aK664D-ztX0NdpnPwTyFAkwZHQgB10H6nT0SbiWjx_7s6gwsH3OI7warF_Ev5mGISAL_IlspG07siN5HZ7XOq9Us2WcqGuHsL1c3FzBT_Ef/s320/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+079.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194261849819863554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Typical New York City traffic</span><br /></div><br />New York is a really colourful and vibrant place with lots of different kinds of people walking the streets.<br /><br />I stayed at the Essex Hotel at Central Park South. I didn't get a nice view of the park as my room was facing the back alley. I did however get the opportunity to walk through Central Park on at least three occasions while I was there.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6s5t1p2HLRU0OzjMb2VOWyD2tIJsEDTi89VlSXmufiDer3GfPQFDDh-n8JWYAyOvEcpD7xaOdjLuIW7hdvq-WkbsUj4BNpwOO6DUGZu8OwN8yNH37WFbZmZ9bgxzyWOTozbJC/s1600-h/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+130.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6s5t1p2HLRU0OzjMb2VOWyD2tIJsEDTi89VlSXmufiDer3GfPQFDDh-n8JWYAyOvEcpD7xaOdjLuIW7hdvq-WkbsUj4BNpwOO6DUGZu8OwN8yNH37WFbZmZ9bgxzyWOTozbJC/s320/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+130.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194261858409798162" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Not a great shot, but this is the outside of my hotel, The Essex House</span><br /></div><br />New York has often been associated to be a crime ridden city as depicted in so many movies. I did not find it so. The city was relatively clean though I must say, I did witness a crime in progress as I walked out of my hotel lobby on the first day.<br /><br />A bunch of Latinos were carrying a huge Sony LCD TV from the back of a truck, fine I thought pretty normal to see delivery guys. Then the oddest thing happen, one guy walking away from the scene said something in Spanish something like 'Vamos' and the two guys holding the TV dropped it rather hard and scrammed behind the cover of the truck and ran away.<br /><br />Soon after that a doorman from the hotel ran over to the TV and said "What the F@#$? Who were those guys?". I pretty much came to the conclusion that I just witnessed my first New York crime.<br /><br />New York isn't all doom and gloom though, down the street from that unfortunate mishap is the Plaza Hotel, a hotel I remember vividly in the movie Home Alone 2.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDPJkZzSACFhvsg_VVB2KZlfeBv6bXMJFxmahS_ecDOwtPQujnVR23xdCgQhrmWvB98t4KY6xkYeYqCn25Dxt2sTgSP0HXLJhvctSp3lM2uGzmaae5Rcbk4PCaSZOiuNiR9Nq/s1600-h/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+137.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDPJkZzSACFhvsg_VVB2KZlfeBv6bXMJFxmahS_ecDOwtPQujnVR23xdCgQhrmWvB98t4KY6xkYeYqCn25Dxt2sTgSP0HXLJhvctSp3lM2uGzmaae5Rcbk4PCaSZOiuNiR9Nq/s320/New+York,+Pixar+Event,+April,+NY,+137.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194261875589667378" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">The Apple Store on 5th Avenue</span><br /></div><br />I payed a visit to the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue.

I guess the only reason it is so famous now is because of Donald Trump's reality TV show The Apprentice. No I didn't see any weeping contestants walk out of the building.

So happens the event was held in conjuction with the KL Audio Visual (AV) Expo. The expo took up a good portion of the Marriots Ballroom floor with the grandball room split into several sections for different booths.<br /><br /><br />In anycase, I was rather surprised to see this 103" inch TV sitting at the Panasonic exhibition area. When I came back later after my event I saw this guy playing the Nintendo Wii on this monstrous TV. Just look at the size of the thing. It really makes the Wii look smaller than it already is.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093353135219979394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3UA7phwZxZRnzvxS8M4aqQPUblfOjzEmCiyk76PPGlrym4q5JThqPWiisf-dsxtKrrPFP6LzCfPwtMp7bTjSJAYGVGwf1XYlyZ6L_c4Py080eC1qVhAhGCuhBBfJPOZe4oawaQ/s320/DSC_0698+(big).jpg" border="0" />JX Chonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06837580092569136164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16459613.post-60880269200955845212007-07-30T10:50:00.001+08:002008-12-13T15:34:52.997+08:00The end is nearAh, the end of July approaches.

If you have ever been to Sri Hartmas' commercial district I need not go into details over how difficult it is to find parking there. The situation there is a whole lot worse in comparison with some parts of P.J. (and we claim our roads are old and narrow!).<br /><br />After having followed my colleages around the area and eaten our lunch there, I was surprised to see this car double parking along the same road my colleage parked her car. If you can't see clearly, some guy named Nicholas posted his handphone number on his car window when he double parks. Pretty courteous of him if not for the fact that he is blocking your car in the first place.<br /><br />Man, the stuff people do these days.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8g6ol2lKNntOYsfRtAnZ3Kdc6UeTsmNCBunnlhqljsDJokawyI4Ayq2zLwysjeFG1bUCRU997gH2sCvMI2CkKqsUQmxcUCKf1JH6X5kx3n7rNaSTTLGIdkt9n7uBY0ZxHRMURLA/s1600-h/DSC05293.JPG"><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8g6ol2lKNntOYsfRtAnZ3Kdc6UeTsmNCBunnlhqljsDJokawyI4Ayq2zLwysjeFG1bUCRU997gH2sCvMI2CkKqsUQmxcUCKf1JH6X5kx3n7rNaSTTLGIdkt9n7uBY0ZxHRMURLA/s320/DSC05293.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><em>For a good time call Nicky</em></div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>JX Chonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06837580092569136164noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16459613.post-32315438129789069182007-07-09T00:24:00.000+08:002008-12-13T15:34:55.042+08:00Lunatic Food Review - Bakerzine KLCC<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKh__qGjC9FZI_HjHrHc35answMPt-Z4yN0QotSzje38VsB-h97d-sOpF6G9sWQUACKIDIBoBNKCgq6mvXC1SSbdABQ9BeT856rYwULiS6DJ6O-hD4pTsryr36ARwI4usXrlPYA/s1600-h/DSC05253.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKh__qGjC9FZI_HjHrHc35answMPt-Z4yN0QotSzje38VsB-h97d-sOpF6G9sWQUACKIDIBoBNKCgq6mvXC1SSbdABQ9BeT856rYwULiS6DJ6O-hD4pTsryr36ARwI4usXrlPYA/s320/DSC05253.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div>Bakerzine has opened a new restaurant at Isetan, KLCC.

I took my usual route home, passing by the industrial area in Section 13. There was an usual crawl stretching back all the way to University Tunku Abdul Rahman. I thought some car broke down in the middle of the road, but it was something far worse.<br /><br />A large section of the road in front of the Dutch factory was flooded. Everyone joining up to that sectionwas forced to slow down and cross the mini river one at a time. Previously I don't recall seeing a flood along this section of the road, but considering that K.L. got hit with a serious spell of rain and was flooded within recod time (15 minutes in total), I'm not surprised that we will be seeing more water on our roads in the near future.<br /><br />Swell....just swell...<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>JX Chonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06837580092569136164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16459613.post-64493048863533122872007-06-15T16:19:00.000+08:002008-12-13T15:34:56.801+08:00Weight Issues<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZucmxukUMg1RTGqWJbHSNDNHIRWebe2me39GTyex731Q8ht-3sdlpVEmhxKvgL9igEsxbbDmPIrx5OjIGmyxa2WHR7HSZBz1d-ZMv6JSmGxH6ai3aM3LcFQjSWr_lfGOpL4G9ow/s1600-h/DSC_1823.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZucmxukUMg1RTGqWJbHSNDNHIRWebe2me39GTyex731Q8ht-3sdlpVEmhxKvgL9igEsxbbDmPIrx5OjIGmyxa2WHR7HSZBz1d-ZMv6JSmGxH6ai3aM3LcFQjSWr_lfGOpL4G9ow/s320/DSC_1823.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />A picture is worth a thousand words.

While most people believe these toys are targeted towards kids, unknown to them young adults buy them too.<br /><br />I never really caught on to buying toys from Mc Ds all that much (face it, the Happy Meal toys I got weren't exactly quality goods). But if you check this little guy out, you will be surprised to find that he is the exact opposite of the old Happy Meal toys. Not only does he not have typical karate chopping, top spinning of yester years toys, he actually talks! Yeah, there is some real class in this toy. Gingy says a phrase from the movie when you press the bottom most button.<br /><br />Pretty niffty to hear a plastic ginger breadman actually talk. Can't wait to see the next evolution of fast food toys. Imagine Shrek actually farting or bleeching in your Happy Meal!

I had just made my way around the KLCC park past a group of tourist, busy taking pictures with the Twin Towers, to find the BWM Pit Lane Park exhibition.

I was interested in it at one point in time, when it first started in in Malaysia. I was rather excited at that time, having the wildest hope that some how Sauber Petronas would win a race on its home turf. My hopes were dashed when I quickly learnt that F1 races was guaranteed to be won by Michael Schumacher.<br /><br />F1 has grown to be a one man sport in my mind. Still, I took up the opportunity to head on down to Sepang for a chance to get a look at the workings behind the big race. The tri p was sponsored by AMD, so it was fortunate that they were generous enough to have shuttle vans to pick us up from KL Sentral.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcDpNjUWO1xifYB4ZZvnna5uxTQU1msoOnZ4aLRjfT1_hAAiigDBsEVKlulo8f-8g-h8pEl0NWkvgW8SA2G1MfHYgbZ2JYdmDhn3BF8EHbB9aVxYEC5zlFmGm3YQGruamOJ95tGA/s1600-h/DSC_0033.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcDpNjUWO1xifYB4ZZvnna5uxTQU1msoOnZ4aLRjfT1_hAAiigDBsEVKlulo8f-8g-h8pEl0NWkvgW8SA2G1MfHYgbZ2JYdmDhn3BF8EHbB9aVxYEC5zlFmGm3YQGruamOJ95tGA/s320/DSC_0033.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049981312100959634" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">The Seapang F1 Circuit's Grand Stand in the distance</span><br /></div> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kJSd0BfB6bT42t3m6WSzcZ6x6-sOzK98HPU9u7G1-o6chRpM6aj7J6LvnzY7kYFWcl4qSwXzh7yMitkPmVz68cSOKM0_Q3YTtL_m8gczC0bzSgxojLr-7VjobPL4bXvO4uDiBA/s1600-h/DSC_0048.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kJSd0BfB6bT42t3m6WSzcZ6x6-sOzK98HPU9u7G1-o6chRpM6aj7J6LvnzY7kYFWcl4qSwXzh7yMitkPmVz68cSOKM0_Q3YTtL_m8gczC0bzSgxojLr-7VjobPL4bXvO4uDiBA/s320/DSC_0048.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049981316395926946" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Something you don't see every day.

Our Canadian driver, Derick was a chatty fellow you told us that he has been to nearly all the Formula One races for the past 6 years. Apparently, he and other drivers like him are sourced out to help ferry guests to and fro race events. Derick certainly is a busy man.<br /><br />The road to the Paddocks was a relatively straight one, we were stopped by 2 security check points before being finally shown to the Paddock area. Inside we were guided by an Italian woman by the name of Lara Rodini, an F1 program manager. As she was showing us around the docks, I caught a glimpse of BWM Sauber driver Nick Hiefield.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK73jvYJEi5ofYdsVxqBtrsG-UJVEa2W0_-NP9YFlCXjJmTh9HV_cwPLwC33SwpCIScG5J7eKeJ-XtwEn8bgTncWnfr83joxzRiw-yJVjX9_hw6EgEPUJAHP4ZGP7zJEsvx-jyeA/s1600-h/DSC_0094.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK73jvYJEi5ofYdsVxqBtrsG-UJVEa2W0_-NP9YFlCXjJmTh9HV_cwPLwC33SwpCIScG5J7eKeJ-XtwEn8bgTncWnfr83joxzRiw-yJVjX9_hw6EgEPUJAHP4ZGP7zJEsvx-jyeA/s320/DSC_0094.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049981320690894274" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">These suits will see plenty of action this coming Sunday</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwwTyjVlrnUkgp6qKCXIvYnmijliyoHNMnM6Q6dwd3UeE_PboxAVu9-XoGHY6pTz0o7WLNA2VJG6mzQhCBmuR3wXa1hGwTQ7LN-fhPWOQzxWPD6xptJnEJj8UOLQbqSm_ZV-fjw/s1600-h/DSC_0128.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwwTyjVlrnUkgp6qKCXIvYnmijliyoHNMnM6Q6dwd3UeE_PboxAVu9-XoGHY6pTz0o7WLNA2VJG6mzQhCBmuR3wXa1hGwTQ7LN-fhPWOQzxWPD6xptJnEJj8UOLQbqSm_ZV-fjw/s320/DSC_0128.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049985173276559026" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Tires for a driver</span><br /></div> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmhbmNRv_Uq4ol3tooT8sAI2GyZSI_fQXRtCe4jjCJycxCwwQfCRoddpCCN8phyphenhyphenhFMLC-OeM4ij4QkdNPF1A7-rYzabPy8MoQHIZPsJ65mr6mVlHtL7z7E7EPNytyZalXCbiooHg/s1600-h/DSC_0212.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmhbmNRv_Uq4ol3tooT8sAI2GyZSI_fQXRtCe4jjCJycxCwwQfCRoddpCCN8phyphenhyphenhFMLC-OeM4ij4QkdNPF1A7-rYzabPy8MoQHIZPsJ65mr6mVlHtL7z7E7EPNytyZalXCbiooHg/s320/DSC_0212.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049983004318074402" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Team Ferari hard at work fine tuning their cars</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYM1d15gmZro9AL5zFhnPiz8hPdB_UgKiJKjhqHtA5glWOOLJd8JME6RNMVfDE0SQenvNyD6QgGtkedBv5dcaO395SqsnQY8faq_SuDji0N7AowBvg_qjmRg40hx0ka9ndG1VCoA/s1600-h/DSC_0255.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYM1d15gmZro9AL5zFhnPiz8hPdB_UgKiJKjhqHtA5glWOOLJd8JME6RNMVfDE0SQenvNyD6QgGtkedBv5dcaO395SqsnQY8faq_SuDji0N7AowBvg_qjmRg40hx0ka9ndG1VCoA/s320/DSC_0255.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049984082354865762" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">The pit area is full of activity</span><br /><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5YhkzBhKIbH7pezQZnndeubPb23-Yk_hhB2Q7J68UXj41YyMBYMZBhCe0PzA5icRZ8_9PEqKyj-LwExeSKj7dgaK25coaOMU3IxNP8G2TSeyEwSQSVcXnjnz-N_qzvSGHIqkDw/s1600-h/DSC_0208.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5YhkzBhKIbH7pezQZnndeubPb23-Yk_hhB2Q7J68UXj41YyMBYMZBhCe0PzA5icRZ8_9PEqKyj-LwExeSKj7dgaK25coaOMU3IxNP8G2TSeyEwSQSVcXnjnz-N_qzvSGHIqkDw/s320/DSC_0208.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049983000023107090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Whole sets of tires to be used on race day</span><br /><br /></div> <br />We were taken on a short tour of the Ferari F1 garage seeing the various engineers at work, fine tuning the cars.
