Farewell to a good ole friend...

Yup, it was a very sad day yesterday...a former fellow colleague & good ole friend left us. And yup, it was my very good friend, Mr L (Mr Leong Cheong Phak) or more fondly known as "Pak Leong"... Pic above : The late "Pak Leong".

Pak Leong had been fighting a very long hard battle against Primary CNS Lymphoma since early this year. After numerous chemos & radiotherapy with periods when hopes were high that he was winning the fight, he finally succumbed to it on Sunday, 28th November, 2010 @6:50am at SJMC, PJ.

More Blu-ray...

Wed 171110

Yup, it's more Blu-ray Discs for Lot 10 Collection! And yup, they're also original ones but bought via our local online auction site...

It's the X-Men Quadrilogy set of 7 Blu-ray discs for the four X-Men movies! All for only RM206 including delivery charges. I saw one of them for sale at Tesco Pg for already RM99!! So an original set of all their movies for only RM200 is value for money!

Here are downloaded images of them (saves me time & effort to snap them, right?) :

Well, what can I say? Frankly, once one has watched a BD (short for Blu-ray Disc) movie, one would want more of the same! Yup, there is a great difference between the good ole DVD movies and BD movies. Kinda like not having 20-20 vision while watching DVD movies. Try it out & you will know what I mean, ok?

However, as a note of warning...we got kinda "cheated" by a shop @Midlands 1-Stop for what they called "copied BDs". In actual fact, those discs turned out to be nothing more than DVDs converted from BDs...for playing on DVD players but not on true BD players! They are, in reality, only clear DVDs...

I had a number of such discs bought in A/Star for only RM8 whereas those from Midlands cost RM10! That's why me felt kinda cheated...

Anyway, there's nothing like originals...Agreed?

Of course, until the day these "copycats" come out with true copies of the originals in its BD format...

BTW here's wishing all our Muslim friends out there a very happy Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha or Selamat Hari Raya Korban/Haji today!!

A new month...

Thur 111110

Yup, a new month is here! And yup, almost half of it has passed, too...

This month is truly a very "full" & hectic month for both inmates of Lot 10. For starters, there was the recent floods in Perlis & Kedah...started in Alor Star around 3rd Nov? Luckily though, for Lot 10 & its surrounding areas, the flood waters did not reach them. We were spared! Thank God for His mercies...

However, owing to the floods, our water supply was cut for 2-3 days! Even our 400 gallon storage tank dried up! Phew! Imagine...lots of water everywhere, but not a drop to drink! Water is truly precious...

On 7th Nov, we had our 1st invitation to a close relative's son's wedding with dinner at Holiday Inn Resort in Batu Ferringhi. It was a happy & cosy buffet-styled dinner function. Congrats to the happy loving couple!!

This coming Sat (131110) will see my other half attending a rare meet cum dinner @Berjaya Georgetown Hotel, Penang, for ex-MGS students. For convenience sake, we will be staying for the night in the hotel itself. Sincerely hope she has an enjoyable evening then...All the very best, MDB!!

Next would be another wedding invitation. On the 18th. My other half's cousin's daughter ie her aunt's grandaughter. We'll be attending the wedding dinner on that evening with the Chinese Tea Ceremony on the next day. Our congrats to KGS!!

On 191110, the SMKH Retirees would be having their End-of-Year Dinner. And yup, a great chance to meet up with former colleagues & friends. It was planned for 121110 but was postponed because of the flood situation.

Finally (might not be the last...) ie for now, we'd received a personal invitation to attend a former colleague & good friend's son's (a former student, too) wedding dinner to be held @Evergreen Laurel Hotel in Penang on 27th Nov. Congrats to the happy & loving couple!!

Now that's a lot for these 2 ole inmates after all these years! Sincerely hope December would be a quiet peaceful month for us to re-energise...haha!

Have a great weekend soon...
