Customs, Traditions...

Being the golden boy in the household, I never understood what's the whole concept of having sons over daughters, being the eldest grandson of the eldest son etc. until funerals. During my grandpa's I was too distraught to notice, but my grandma's I totally could understand why.

My grandma had 3 generations of sons sending her off, it was my bad that I couldn't make it in time but I would've never beat my cousin to it haha. He had a shot-gun marriage at a tender age of 18, barely legal.

Still, the neighbors adore the majestic send off by her sons, grandsons and great grand son as we march under the scorching sun at 1pm from her house, through the village into the main district and around the Hainan Clan Association building, her final journey ends.

I wasn't really ready, there wasn't any heads up, she was only 78years old but we all could see our grandpa smiling at the grave. Guess he's had enough of my grandma having too much fun without him around ^^.

#RIP Popo ~ Thanks for spoiling me and made me the prince of the household with your presence. Do not worry about any of us, we are doing really really well :))

While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat
