More Than Meet The Eyes

well well well , went to watch again Transformer movie on thursday midnight show at Sunway , and ... lost count of how many times watched. The thing is we knew friday there will be new arrival stocks from Hasbro , maybe is jus another motivation for us to wathc it so that can push more sales.


The funny thing is , Transformer movie had shown for more than 1 month , and according to UIP , it aready broke their new records , and still same everyday , the cinema yet still fulled , OMG .. how many times they wanna watched.


When the movie out , and the toys figure out at the same time , and if anyone of them hoping to get nice tranformers toys at Parkson , T R 'us" or Jusco , then basically u can forget about it. unless you wanna wait at the shop wait for the shoppin mal to open n start grabbing those toys. The only way you can get the nice transformers figure is from the toy shop .. of coz , in malaysia, the toy industry is not as strong as like HongKong , Japan or even Singapore , even 10 fingers can count of how many toys shops in KL . But most of the time , the toy shop would have increase the price for more than 50 or even 100% ...... so , for the toys lover , u either take it or leave it.


when 1st time came to meet james a this guy deal business in different ways, he always believe customer service and maintain a good relationship wit his customers . one of the reason the collectors like to drop by his place so much because he sells his itmes follow the market retails price , and of coz for few more reason ......


everytime when new stocks arrived , for sure you can see lots of lots of people willing to line up and cramp his shop, and as usual , everyone will have same shout out " i come first ... i come first wor... " . But this time , he figured out a nice n fair play .... numbering system. KNN, see people go for toys shop buy toys , but this is first time see people have to take number to buy toys . u think bank meh ......




don be surprise when the number system were put on his shop that previous night , the next day , some collectors even will drop by at his shop at 830am jus to get the number 001 . and slowly .. people jus keep on coming and for those who get number 50 and above .......... errrr, chances getting the toys 50/50. or mayb empty handed.... wahahaha



ohh.. c'mon laaa , number taken yet stil wanna camp at the shop , although the stocks will be coming noon , and they know they can least go for drink or breakfast , but they rather stay in the shop for "toys cultural exchanging " . the question is .... do their boss know this people really taking MC or annual leave or might jus sneak out from office telling the boss " I Go to Bank first yaaa....... " then, when someone called them , wat will their respond ??? " Ahhh YAAAA.. FRIDAY SO MANY PEOPLE AT BANK.. THE Q SO LONG... SOMEMORE TRAFFIC JAM.. GOT SEMBAYANG MAAAA...... " wahahahaha....





Finally long waited for the stocks arrived , total of ...... errr , i dont know how many boxes there , but i knew that was only half of the stocks for that day :P



After the stocks loaded out , people hands getting itchy ... eyes getting shinny ... hearts beats getting faster. and even some collectors there volunteer to be the guardian of the stock keeper. :P


well , since today so many new arrival stocks and it might be a mess , James thought better still all get prepare , at least when number called , and the buyers jus say what they wans .. then all packed n can be delivered.

However the number called until 30 something and already 3/4 of the toys were almost gone , and for the rest of the late comers , well .... will have to come back the following week and check what's new stocks coming. and this time , i'm sure the fans will know what to do and wat time to be there to ensure them get a nice number . or to be safe , can always check on ToyWorkers updated blog. :)


woo hooo .. James , do i get any FREE toysssSSSSsss for helping u do promo... :P

i wasnt a real fans of Jay Chow , but i always admire him as a great composer , or a talented musician. 不能說的秘密 or known as Secret , his latest first film directed by himself , no comment on that movoie coz havent watch yet. But the songs aready hit me hard , another superb composing by Jay and his partner 方文山 in Lyrics , both of them had been working together for ages , and they were also known as the greatest combination in song n lyrics , if u can notice Jay all album , basicaly u can see both of thier names.

Cherish what you have now and do appreciate it... for real. :). Here to share this song wit u all of u.




詞:方文山 曲:周杰倫

冷咖啡離開了杯墊
我忍住的情緒在很后面
拼命想挽回的從前
在我臉上依舊清晰可見
最美的不是下雨天
是曾與你躲過雨的屋檐 oh~~
回憶的畫面
在蕩著秋千 夢開始不甜
你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
又何必去改變 已錯過的時間
你用你的指尖 阻止我說再見
想象你在身邊 在完全失去之前
你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
或許命運的簽 只讓我們遇見
只讓我們相戀 這一季的秋天
飄落後才發現 這幸福的碎片
要我怎麼撿

Malaysian Driver


This is something kinda angry about where don know how do the driver get his/her drving license. It was peak hour at subang and .. c'mon laa. jus a tiny bloody car and somemore took 2 packing places. can't they be more considerate.

Malaysia , i think the accident rates getting worst n worst , and especially when u read the newspaper this morning , can see how the bus driver drove and caused 16 death. i jus got curious, what are them thinking when they drving the bus , don they know , people lives all depends on the driver. I mean driving is one hell of the problem in malaysia , not to mention even on parking problem.. the same....

I think these days i drive even more careful and slower ... and for those who are impatient kept on honging at me.. MY God...c'mon laaa

Something i owed for long

There are 2 lovely gals i owed them to much and too long enough that i don think i wanna waste my time anymore , or it will be a guilt to me for not blogging them :) .


once i heard about Olivia Ong , a Singaporean jazz singer that went to japan started her music career , her song touches me so much that i wanna get her album so badly. But only able to get it at Singapore. However thanks to one of my lovely friend from Spore ,Lilian ... infact it was an unexpected surprise to me when she came to KL one day and gave me the 2 cd's. It was the touches moment for me of what she did , and everynight Olivia songs flows inside living hall. I promise whenever i go Spore next time , for sure will call u as my tour guide :D






***************************************************************

The second gal i wanna mentioned which also special to me is my lovely cousin Helen , we used to be very very very close when we were young , and even now we still very close to each other. She's the one who i followed her to kindergarten without telling my parents. Although she's one year older than me , but she really take cares of me.


The happy moment came this January when she got married at KL tower , together wit her husband Esmond. Wat so romantic surprised was both of them came out wit their own ice-cream brand "Helmond" ...awwww , that's too damn sweet. There are 3 favour , durian , manggo and jackfruit , and in near coming future there will be few more favour coming out soon ... interested can get from me for free tasting or anyone if interested as getting distributors , well .... there's always an opportunity :D

Giovanni Calabrese

" You are Kraaaazzy ......... "





" Is Impossible .......... "




this is what Giovanni had been saying for the past two weeks , Giovanni or what we called him Gio as his short form, easy to remember, a Italian YE ( Youth Exchange ) student that stayed in our place for 2 weeks. All this while we had hosted many Japanses girls , but not a single boy . After both my sister went to Australia , i thought mayb i can host someone not from japan but mayb from Europe , As also my parents will be free at this moment even if i'm not around , hehehe....





Gio is very hyperactive , as the first day he came , i thought he can't speak english, as i for sure not a single italian , however we tried hard to communicate wit hands and every single movement at the beginning, then things going smooth within few days , and even pretty well going wit my parents. The best things he enjoy definately is seeing pretty gals and get to know the new friends, as for me ... a driver of Mr.Giovanni :P







The day he arrived , wanted to visit the KL tower n KLCC where he heard about it so much from Italy , so we made a early morning trip down to town together with James.








Gio went for the Lions club meeting and having banners exchange with the Lions Club President.





The Next day , went to KL tower , also had a ceremony , cultural exchange wit the monkeys, Gio giving out the Italian chips to the monkey.




say cheeezeeeeeee.......






haha , i had hired a Chef from Italy making some nice delicious spaggetti n pasta. From the way he made pasta and spaggetti , is totally not the same method as wat we did in malaysia. Luckily he also gave out the secret recipe for making the real italian food , guess wat .. the secret recepi is actually written on the apron :D





And the happy moment for him is to invite all the new friends he knew in malaysia over for a lovely dinner. and Surprisingly that , my dad don even like to eat much spaggetti n pasta , but the way Gio cooked , dad ended up ate few plates.








Soonyean : " Be patient , my young apprentice ....... "
Giovanni : "Yes Master ....... "
Thanks for SoonYean aka The Mahjong King , giving out free private lessons how this games work, and Gio is so concentrating and also being a good apprentice , writing down in his note book of every single rules and regulation that soonyean taught him . And my dad even gave him a set of mahjong to him back to Italy. hmmm.. i think later on Italy will famous for mahjong all becoz of Giovanni. mayb he can starts with " Giovanni Mahjong club "



weiwei , shah and chienchien joinning us for dinner , and as usual the menu more or like the same , sweet n sour pork and lemon chicken is his favourites fooooood.





Gio is trying his best to use chopstick everytime we went for dinner , don be surprise his chopstick skills is improving. No worries , already gave u some chopsticks back home to practise , till next time we'll see your results.



i think the gal would rather punch him as he was kept on asking hugs n kisses , well as this is their culture. But i think the guys here would like to punch him as well as we didnt manage get anything even we know the gals for so long... KNN.....



However , we really have a great time having you around in our family, and as what u promise will be back in a year time, we welcome you ..... please, bring some frens over , especailly gal... the guys here need hugs n kisses n love too ... as it will be more meaningful as in "the cultural exchange " :D

August Thoughts

I need to have a short weekends break , need to spend time with my parents , though we stay under one roof , but i hardly seen my mom in July , but only called her n talk on phone :P . Dad's been asking me if needs any help from him , thanks ... you just spedn your time with your wife ya. Grandma been slighty better , at least she begun to opened her eyes , yet cant talk .... Poor snowy had not been eating for the past few days after she lost her daughter 2 weeks back , i knew how she felt .......


Merdeka month , thought of getting the project for merdeka parade and show , but failed ... mayb we still needto brush on our company, wil target for next year 2008. However didnt really fell dissapointed , but can be added little extra hapiness as i will be expanding my business , setting up my own factory , we came out wit the name called ....... " Absolute Production Sdn. Bhd " .. hahaha. As the factory mainly used to produce more n more robots suits , and transformers projects will be keep on goin until year 2009 , the 2nd series. Besides , not jus robots , but also to build different kinda probs n stuff.


hmmmm , as times goes by , i think is time to plan for 2008 , is it way to early ??? don think so huh , like ppl always like to quote " Fail to plan is to plan to fail ". However , things need to be sacrifice , too many ..... especially i had kinda long not out wit my buddies for eating session , movie sessions , and most important , travel session. Hope u guys still with me ya.


When the opportunities comes , grab it ... like Witwicky motto " No sacrifice , no victories " . But i still miss u guys a lot. :)
