Angry Birds and Balloons

Diana — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 04:24:24 +0000

I was in KL recently and did some window shopping at a shopping mall when I chanced upon these cute Angry Birds plush toys displayed at a shop lot. There were so many of them and I was tempted to buy one for myself! But I guess I have outgrown soft toys to consider taking one home. We have our moments when we re-live our childhood years with toys and carefree years – no worries about when the next meal will come and no worries about working to earn a living.

Here are more pictures of crafted balloons into Disney’s characters like Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, Mickey Mouse, etc. I am sure the child in us will love them and the colorful display of characters. These photos were taken with my new compact Panasonic Lumix digital camera and I am testing out the features. So far, the pictures are quite sharp and colors saturated.

This looks like a character from a cartoon series. Love the ensemble – how the balloons are twisted into hands, legs, body, face, etc.

Another view of the balloons with kids posing for a picture. This is certainly a crowd attraction.

From the top view.

How to Train your Dragon – 2010 3D Movie

Diana — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:53:39 +0000

It’s in 3-D and it’s gorgeous animation. But what really matters is the story. And it’s a good one. At first it seems the main story is about a Viking colony equally distant from nowhere, which is being constantly attacked by a wide variety of marauding dragons. It’s a full time job trying to keep the dragons at bay and the Viking warriors are often out on their boats hunting their wily and ferocious opponents.

But really the story is about a father and chief of the Vikings who has a young son, Hiccup, who is small and who is a slick, sarcastic talker and who doesn’t take orders well, but still seeks respect from his impressive father. At first, his Father will not let his son be a warrior Viking, but later relents to have Hiccup train with the other youngsters. But the young boy gets sidetracked and instead of wanting to kill dragons, the boy befriends them and seeks to understand them.

A young and inexperienced son seeking approval of a strong father is an often-told tale. Sons often act foolishly trying to impress their fathers. And fathers often ignore the strivings of their sons. In this case, there is honor and courage on all sides and it is inspiring to watch the father and son wrestle with their relationship.

And yes, about the dragons – they ARE ferocious and talented and aggressive warriors. But their motivations are a mystery that unfolds slowly. And that’s the fun of this film. This film is a must watch show and I highly recommend it.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 The Squeakquel HD – The Chipettes

Diana — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:29:25 +0000

The Chipettes are a fictional group of anthropomorphic chipmunk singers first appearing on the cartoon series Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1983. In this and related materials, the Chipettes served as female featured characters in their own right, starring in several episodes in which their male counterparts did not appear.

Character Profiles:

Brittany Miller
Brittany, the leader of the Chipettes, and her exuberance often serves as the impetus for their adventures. Although she is very nice in such, foolishness, and materialism, and has a notoriously short fuse, Brittany cares deeply for her siblings and often acts as their defender. Brittany is dynamic, ambitious, fearless, competitive, and possessed of a desire to always have her way (although she stops short of true ruthlessness). Brittany has red brown hair and blue eyes, and her signature color is pink. Brittany and Alvin, her counterpart in the male trio, share a love-hate relationship. The rivalry between the two was part of the impetus for the events of many of the episodes of the television show, as well as The Chipmunk Adventure, the first feature film to star the characters. In the 2009 movie Alvin and the Chipmunks:The Squeakquel, Ian makes Brittany stand out and her sisters stand behind her. Ian seems to focus most on Brittany.

Jeanette Miller
Jeanette, the tallest, can best be described as the “absent-minded professor” of the group. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence, she often is so caught up in contemplating the universe that she forgets the simple matters of life, such as not tripping over her own feet. She can generally be found with her shoelaces untied, one knee sock wrinkled around her ankle, and her buttons askew. Jeanette has very poor vision, and is virtually helpless without her glasses. She has brown hair and blue eyes, and her signature colors are royal blue and purple. She and Simon, her counterpart in the male trio, are very shy about their romantic relationship.

Eleanor Miller
Eleanor, the youngest and largest, is self-assured, confident, and extremely maternal. Eleanor has struggled with weight, largely implied to her love of food. Despite her weight problems, she has been often shown engaging in heavy physical activity. She is a gifted athlete and a mini-Olympiad in any field of sport. Eleanor is quite strong-willed, and is far more likely than the timid Jeanette to stand up to her sister Brittany when she feels that she is wrong. Eleanor has blonde hair and green eyes, and her signature color is spring green. She and Theodore, her counterpart in the male trio, are openly caring towards one another, and both have a common bond with food and cooking, making their romance the most obvious of the three.

High Tech Secretary

Diana — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:31:45 +0000

A friend emailed this to me. There are so many emails, I have to be selective not to offend anyone. But this is so funny, and I had to share it here. So here goes:

John’s secretary

Joe: Your secretary is very sexy.

John: Thanks, it’s a robot from Japan . Her name is Sweety. If you squeeze its right breast it takes notes and if you squeeze the left it types. I’ll lend it to you for a day and you can see for yourself.

Next day Joe called from hospital and shouted :

John you BASTARD, you didn’t tell me Sweety’s pussy is a pencil sharpener.

I have also decided to remove mybloglog because some obnoxious ex-colleague is spying my blog for ideas and I just don’t like it to see her avatar on my blog. What did she do in the past to me? Well for one, she took credit for the work I did and wrote down petty offences on me like forgetting to put the pencil back in the drawer instead of doing real marketing meeting customers outside. No wonder, the company closed down after hiring someone like her. Comes to work 1 hour late every day – an even BIGGER offence that the boss does not know! And once, she even came to work in the retail shop in an upmarket shopping mall in her pajamas! My Gosh!

John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am.

While his coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA)

was perking, he shaved with his electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG)

He put on a dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA),

designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE)

and tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA)

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA)

he sat down with his calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO)

to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )

to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) (from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his
Computer
(made in MALAYSIA ),

John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL),

poured himself a glass of wine
(MADE IN FRANCE)

and turned on his TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA),

and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA
AND NOW HE’S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN KENYA,

Happy Valentine’s Day 2009

Diana — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:31:39 +0000

Today is Valentine’s Day 2009 and I am going out with my family for a simple dinner. Probably at a hawkers’ centre nearby. The above picture was taken by me during our trip to Hadyai over Chinese New Year from 24th to 27th January 2009. You will never find this type of dolls in Malaysia as they are too holy moly and it is ‘haram’ or sacrilege to display such dolls openly. Since it is Valentine’s day, I thought it was appropriate to show it here and its genitals look cute. I am back to processing more company photos for our web site as we complete more projects for clients. Have to update the web site with reference projects that are recently completely and this is my nature of job amongst others. Happy Valentine’s Day to you young dating couples out there
