Sham

Maybe Vaibhav has had too much eggnog to drink.

TS

Happy Crimbo to you all.

fardel

I heard this one before
Away to write a book ( around Christmas time)
Uncle Nury:
Who do you think you are going to fool?
I am sure that next week, if we look good, we are going to see soot in your hair

fardel

Here is Mr Jam visiting my shop/production facility in preparation for Christmas, pretending he is away to write a book

Merry Christmas Gang!!!

Gwyllgi

Merry Christmas everyone......(this must be one of the "Angela"s, huh! but she does lack the goatee)

Angela

I shaved my goatee for the holiday season but don't worry it's growing back now.

*

Where is everyone?

Still reeling from the effect of Christmas spirits?

Waiting for Godot?

Nothing to be done.

mourning mucus

@ Angela

That's a very nice dress :)

I spent my X-mas trekking among the hills... so no cakes for me :|

Though watched some of the festivities of the tribal people (surprisingly, most of them are christians)... too tired to participate...

Nevertheless, it was the best X-mas ever! :D

Angela

Thanks mm, this dress seem to be popular with guys, or maybe it was not really the dress. Who knows what goes on in the perverted abyss of male mind.

*

Christianity is pervasive like the weekly defogging they do at my apartment block. Tribal gods stand no chance against two crossed wooden sticks and eastern tribal gods tend to fade into the background as they are less ferocious, unlike the western gods that wage war against mortals and immortals and engage in incestuous relationships.

*

I wonder if people still do New Year's resolution in this day and age or maybe I am just stuck in my old habits.

fardel

Hi Angela
I am surprised that you seem so naive:or are you?

When you go shopping, are you buying the box or its content?

The picture is nice, the dress is nice, but what the dress does not hide is nicer.
Do not take me wrong
I did not say it! it is just common sense.

Mahjuja

@fardel:LOL, I just couldn't help it, especially with the naivety of Angela's comment. I mean Angela 'couldn't know what goes on'? Jeez.

Mahjuja

Wait... Maybe Angela's trying to dupe us into believing that she, I mean he's not a perverted trucker! Nice try, didn't dupe me, nope.;-)

fardel

Yes
I believe that those comments ( naive comments )come from a truck driver, maybe a Winkte truck driver.
I looked back at the picture, a closer look, well , I must be honest , this picture is as mouth watering as cotton candy.
I am lucky, I live on this side of the planet , therefore I am protected by two oceans from making a mistake

Sham

Fardel, based on the pic of the lovely truck driver named Angela, i reckon it would be one of the best mistakes of your life..

Angela

Aiyoh! Ok lah!

Meet the real Angela

My new year's resolution is to wax my facial hairs and go for lasik surgery.

fardel

I like the wig

fardel

My new year resolution
Wriring a book on how I
-lost 15 Lbs
- turned 10 Euros into USD 100,000.00
-travelled to Asia
and remained un-married
in less than a year

Angela

You lost 15 lbs??

Was it stolen?

Or did you forget where you left it?

sej

I lost way more than that. Sadly, it found me again.

fardel

Nope
my resolution for 2010 is:
My new year resolution
Writing a book on how I
-lost 15 Lbs
- turned 10 Euros into USD 100,000.00
-travelled to Asia
and remained un-married
IN LESS THAN A YEAR

sej

Fardel,

Hmm... "travelled to Asia and remained un-married IN LESS THAN A YEAR"?

Almost sounds like you want to travel to Asia, and be married before the end of the year... Yet that doesn't sound like you.

Especially, if Angela ends up looking like this bloke:

fardel

Oops ,
Sorry guys, my automatic english translator messed up again
And I AM traveling to Asia, I AM avoiding Singapore I am going to stay un-married for at least another fifty years.

Angela

Damn! sej is a good detective! How did you find my photo so quick??

Oh well...my cover's blown now.

(scratching my crotch)

Just in time to wish you all a

HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND WEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!

momo

Happy New Year everyone! Love this space so much and see you all in 2010!

fardel

These columns are as quiet as Hong Kong under a snow storm.

Where are you all?

Angela

They had no chance, they never lived to see the new year.

The day before new year's eve, 30th December 2009, almost midnight, I went grocery shopping at the neighborhood 24 hrs supermarket and stopped by the only hawker stall that's still open. The sad sight of these ducks behind the glass display case caught my attention.

Perhaps they were intended for new year feast.
For sure, they shall quack no more.

fardel

I am away hiding to write a book
Hum
the n whay so I read this in the Standard?
:Lee Hsien Loong is the prime minister of Singapore Nury Vittachi is on holiday

Let's see
Uncle Nury meets the SIAS in Singapore, then the Prime Minister of Singapor makes a statement in Uncle Nury's colmuns.

There is no doubt to me, the three of them killed the year 2009.
Happy New year , Then

Angela

We didn't kill it, the year died of natural causes.

Coroner's verdict: old age!

Toxicology report confirmed alcohol abuse and overdose of high-cholesterol diet plus too much partying caused 2009's timely demise.

International Media blamed the heartbreak over global financial crisis for hastening the year's end.

And some say chronic depression did it in.

But we all know what really happened. Those that were born must die, what begun must end, and he who hangs on to the past shall be called "ye old timer!"

Cheers to 2010! The best is yet to come!

fardel

The best IS coming
(i.e me coming to Asia this year)

Chamin

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope we can read and write more here, and enjoy it.

My resolutions for the year:

1. Despite all the pressure from parents, make sure that I don't marry someone they want me to :-p

2. The most important: find a gang of truck driver who can post like the Japanese version of Angela, and get Nury to come here.

Hm, Momo could well be a Japanese name...

sej

Sorry guys, the best is already here...

Me! :-)

Angela

Men! Cant live with them, cant live without them.

;-)

Angela

Uncle Nury have to finish the book fast.

My nieces got my christmas present and finished all 3 books in one sitting. The kids are demanding more to read from Mr. Jam.

And my daughter asked: "Mommy, why did Mr. Vittachi sign the book? He didn't write any story here!". I explained that Mr. Vittachi is also Mr. Jam.

farah

altho belated but better late than never,

Happy 2010 guys!

ps: i have gone hybernating.

fardel

after a two year long pregnancy , struggling with codes, tags, buying softwares to learn the software , it was painfully born:
www.chrisaviation.aero has finally arrived
It is simple, but ,as a proud father, I like it
Enjoy

Karuna

Fardel
Nice site. Simple and neat.
Impressed by your collection of handmade wooden models displayed.

Karuna

Chamin:
Interesting to note bachelor members of our gang have similar problems with arranged marriages like our bachelorette members !!

hmm.....may be our Uncle Nury should "arrange" all of you lovely singles to get to know one another.

fardel

Thank you
They are not a collection , they are a production

My merchant site is not ready yet.

Yep
agree with you , Karuna we should arrange a marriage , as long as i am not included in the package.
I would not mind assisting at a marriage when in Asia
Let's find somebody for our truck driver.
