Where is Grandpa?

My family decided to move grandpa's grave back to Penang, maybe at least he can feel closer to "Home". He was working away from home in Kuala Lumpur back then until his death in 1965 and today, more then 42 years away from home grandpa can finally return to Penang.
After some prayers, the work of the undertaker begin by clearing off some of the plants and the digging of the grave.
It took him 2 hours of digging to find rotten wood and rusty nails from the coffin, however there is no sign of grandpa's remains.

At least now we know that grandpa is now one with the earth, took some soil to bring back to Penang.

Have a Great Day.

Paintball, karaoke and sushi all in one day

It seems that there are many birthday boys and girls around this week, so Happy Birthday to Irwin, Seen Yen and Mei Yoong.
We celebrated Irwin's birthday at TT sports park for paint ball, I must say it's really a fun and unique experience to celebrate a friend's birthday by playing paint ball and despite getting shot in the ass by my own teammate, thank goodness that I don't have any bad bruises like the one Timmy got, it's like he's got additional nipples now.

After paint ball, it's Red Box at Pavilion for the 2 birthday girls (one belated and one coming soon actually).

Well, I don't want to describe the traumatic experience people had after they heard me trying to sing so...um... it's OK.

Had sushi and sake for dinner with the usual bunch, great company, excellent day.
A good preparation for the attack on Malacca tomorrow.

CHUAO!!!

Attended the Chocolate Appreciation Workshop by Amedei and as a self-proclaim chocolate lover I must admit that I had not tasted or appreciate chocolate as much as I did tonight. "Forgive me Willy Wonka for I have sinned."

The speaker for the workshop was Roberto Solanes, General Manager of Italpoint Sdn. Bhd. he's really a great speaker however I think some of the participants really cannot understand his slang and they were talking while he's presenting, it's sad because I really think it's very interesting to learn a little more about chocolates, how cocoa are grown, harvest and made in to chocolate, plus how the climate, soil and other factors of the cocoa plantation could make an impact on the taste and quality of the chocolate.

The most fun session was the chocolate tasting session, and I'm pretty damn sure that almost everyone would agree with me. We were given a few of Amedei Chocolate products to taste and feel the characteristic of each and every one of them, and my favorite that night has to be "Chuao", not only because it's such a fun word to say but it is really so good that I personally think that this has to be it! The meaning of my life, my existence on this planet wrapped inside an aluminum foil, and if I were to die at that time I'll say it's a beautiful death. In fact, Chuao has won the Gold award for the best bean to bar in the Academy of chocolate 3 times!

Yet after a whole night of fine chocolate and extremely good espresso, I still cannot forget the chocolate mousse topped with extremely rich chocolate syrup me and Aaron were drooling at at an event 2 days ago.
"Holy *^$%! That looks so sinful!" Aaron explains.
I must agree with him.
