Out of Her Cocoon


She's now 'free'... from all the trampling and dust and dirt and noise and mess and chaos and haphazardness and inconveniences and darkness and rawness and rough edges and and and and.......

My Kitchen has now got a new look... We didn't ask if she likes it... But she can't decide for herself anyway...

To make the deal sweeter for her in lieu of the inconveniences we caused her, we gave her new granite top cabinets... we gave her new tiles on the floor... we gave her new tiles on the wall... we gave her a fresh coat of ceiling paint... we gave her a new dining table complete with 4 chairs... we gave her a new 1.8 m tall Mitsubishi refrigerator... we gave her a new 9 litres Toshiba washing machine... we gave her a new kitchen sink... we gave her a new stove...

There's a certain role that we expect Kitchen to perform now... given that she's now got a face-lift... A role that she might not have asked for... But it's definitely a role that she's expected to perform anyway...

Whatever it is, Kitchen is still the same old Kitchen to me... Face-lift or not, I don't see her differently... Face-lift or not, I know she's still the same old Kitchen... The way I know her...

Talking about washing machines... this is (soon to be was) my 26 years old SANYO washing machine...

It's still working, mind you... Papa Choco was telling me that when he told the Courts salesperson that our old washing machine lasted us 26 years and asked if the latests technology machines can last as long, the salesperson reassuringly assured Papa Choco that these days, NOTHING is built to last that long anymore... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

But I've been brought up to take care of things that I own... we'll do whatever that's within our means to ensure that these new sets of items in our Kitchen can last just as long as the first set that we had...

We'll take good care of Kitchen... no doubt about that...

Horny Horny...



Nothing's wrong with my RSP... Sent it to a workshop to install a pair of Stebel Magnum electric horns...

The original horn that came from the factory was a wee bit too whiny and nasal... absolutely no character at all...

Now, my RSP is capable of, as Master Madcat would put it, blowing up skirts... muahahahahah....

So if you don't want your skirt to be blown up or get a scare of your life, get out of my RSP's way... I mean business... kekek...

Insanity... Ignorance... Inhumanity...

12 Oct 2002 Bombing Site in Kuta Square

Master Choco and Master Madcat were in Bali in June 2004... They stayed at a hotel which was jus within 80 m of the bombing site on 12 Oct 2002... They thought that lightning wouldn't strike twice on the same spot...

But who would have guessed that they were only half correct... they were right in their judgement back then... but on 1 Oct 2005, lighting struck again...

By the same insanity...

By the same ignorance...

By the same inhumanity...

Let the 4 photos above, and all these Bali Photos , serve as a tribute to the beautiful Bali... As well as the tribute to the resilient Balinese who'll have to muster all that's pure and good in them, to overcome this disaster...

Let there be peace on Earth... Please...
