Newly inaugurated President Obama has found himself a look alike in Indonesia. Ilham Anas of Indonesia recently capitulated to fame due to his striking similarity with President Obama.

He does look a bit like President Obama except that Ilham is a little thinner – looks like Obama after Crossfit.

A Filipino drug company has cast Ilham in a commercial showing him dressed as Obama – probably in the commercial below.

Well, Ilham isn’t the only one that looks like Barack Obama. If you do a search on Youtube, you’ll couple of videos of Barack Obama lookalikes. With this in mind, I’m sure everyone here would have a lookalike somewhere in this world.

Well, I’m back from the Phranang Penisula, Krabi. It was a tiring but great trip. I’ll talk about this in my later entries.
Anyway, please be reminded that the law on vehicle rear seat belts starts today. Vehicle owners and passengers will be given a six-month grace period up to 30 June 2009 when they will only be issued a compound fine of RM300 for not wearing rear seat belts.
From 1 July 2009, drivers and passengers caught not using their seat belts would have to pay a fine of up to RM2,000, serve up to one year’s jail or both.
Have a good break!

As mentioned, I can’t seem to find any events massive enough to blog about. No outdoor parties and raves.
But I wont be in town to celebrate New Years Eve. I will be in Rai Leh, Krabi counting down amidst the hills and coconuts trees!

Thank god for Air Asia, I am able to skip the enduring long trip to Krabi. 2 years ago, my friends and I went thru a 7 hours bus ride, 2 hours of waiting at the immigration, 5 hours van ride and 45 minutes boat ride to Rai Leh, Krabi. Thank you Tony Fernandes!!


I will be back on the 1st of January. Updates will be minimal. Will be rock climbing, swimming and abalone peeping for 6 days!
Have a great new year and don’t drink and drive!

My all time favourite Xmas song 😀

I saw this at one blog..cracked me up big time. LOL

Unlike my birthday for the past few years, I didn’t compile a list of birthday wishes that I received. September was a really hectic month.
I always have this perception that the amount of birthday wishes I received is a indication of how I have been as a friend to my friends. The more wishes I receive, the better friend I’ve been. With the amount of wishes I receive this year, I think this year I haven’t been a very good friend! My apologies!
I think it’s a little bit too late to compile a list, but I think it would be nice to highlight one special message I receive from a guy friend of mine..

Dear old love. Ur 1 yr older now. But still good looking. Keep up. Let my love last 4ever. Happy Birthday. – sexual predator.

Just like last year, I had couple of rounds of birthday parties.
As usual, my parents, A and I had dinner at Klang Seafood restaurant @ Teluk Gong, Klang. We had our usual ChewChau steamed fish, Tongpou Sotong and Nga Choi. We had so much until I almost exploded.
My colleagues also tried to surprise me with a cake. It failed but it was nice of them to buy me a cake and let me smash it with a cake knife before blowing the candles.
My old Sheffield University mates also organised birthday lunch at Delicious @ Bangsar Village II.

As usual, I had to pull off a candle buried deep on my cake. This time round, I came up with a special technique to avoid having my face smashed on the cake.

But KF wasn’t so lucky on his birthday.

Beverly, Adrian and Frederick were also nice enough to meet up for dinner at a Korean restaurant and treated me dinner. I ate so much until my stomach felt like exploding.
My high school friends also organised a joint birthday dinner with Yong Lin and Kiang at Jarrod Rawlin, Damansara Heights. A few of us brought along our own bottle of alcohol. We managed to persuade the management to give us discount on the corkage. By the time we finished all the bottles, Kiang was on his way home and Yong Lin and I were half dead.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

Just last week, my friend’s mother’s car got hijacked at a car park of a well known shopping centre in Petaling Jaya. I’m not very sure on the details but what happened was that the hijacker got into the car and ran over the exit barrier. Fortunately, my friend’s mother was not injured.
On Wednesday, my mum’s handbag got snatched by a snatch thief on a motorcycle. We just had dinner at our usual restaurant at United Garden. Mum’s car was parked just few cars away from the entrance. Mine was located on the other side. After we finished dinner, we parted and we moved towards our own cars. The snatch thief grabbed her handbag and left my mum with a bruised arm. Fortunately, she wasn’t seriously hurt and she didn’t have any important documents in her handbag.
Last night, another friend of mine got mugged by two Indonesian on a motorcycle at Lorong Dungun, Damansara Heights. She was standing on the side on the road waiting for boyfriend. Suddenly, two Indonesian grabbed her bag and threw her down on the floor. One of them stepped on her while another one went to retrieved her handbag. The Indonesians fled after that. My friend was fortunate to escape unhurt. But poor girl was traumatized.
And all these happened within two weeks. Please remind your love ones to be careful.

This was supposed to be a birthday celebration for the November Babies namely WK, KF, SY and Timothy. Unfortunately, SY and Timothy were not around thus we could only blast WK and KF. We started the celebration at Ninja Jones with a bottle of Sake and also a bottle of Martell. By the end of dinner, the two bottles were depleted and we adjourned to Finnegans for second round.
Ninja Jones is well known for their ninja suit clad waiters. Their price is reasonable and their interior and food are not bad too. 14 of us got ourselves a private room. Although their price is reasonable, the bill came up to RM1600. Since its WK and KF’s birthday, we treated the birthday boys + their partners. My wallet bled big time.

Our Sake

Great stuff!

The soup came in a tea pot..without a bowl for me to pour my soup. Hence.

Gulp gulp gulp

Another great stuff




WK drinking Martell + Coke…+ Sake which we added without his knowledge.

We stabbed Hen cause he drank all our alcohol.

KF was first to surrender hence he went home first. WK was still standing and the poor chap got a beating of his lifetime. But probably not as bad in High School when we chased him around Kuchai Lama with eggs on his birthday.
In Finnegans, we bought WK two Flaming Lamborghini for his birthday.

By the end of the night, WK was still standing but he was quite pissed and did many funny stuff.


Not so funny but you should check out the photos on my Facebook. Heh
He ended the night by humping Hen’s car. Reminds me of Eric’s joke.. “Dude, I really love my car. I’m serious”.

3 years ago, Frank_omatic blogged about a car with 3 car stickers depicting various religious figures.

We have now have a new contender. Instead of putting car stickers, why not put an actual life sized religious figure?

A friend/client’s boutique is having an unique contest – which is open to bloggers. All you need to do is head to the shop i.e. i.candy @ Sunway Pyramid, wear something from there and thereafter take a picture while facing one of the mirrors there. But I must warn that i.candy only sells female clothing.

I was just there early this month. I should have grabbed something to wear to join this contest 😛
