CORPUS has been incorporates in a 35-meter high transparent building with the contours of the human body projecting from it. The eye-catching building is situated along the A44 highway between Amsterdam and The Hague. CORPUS uses the latest technology in the field of imagery, sound and 3D effects to present and explain all aspects of the medical aspects of the human body.

All the walls and halls are modeled with fiberglass to resemble the inside of a giant human body, giving visitors the sensation of being shrunk down to a tiny scale, like the characters of the classic science fiction film “Fantastic Voyage.”

The project is the dream of businessman Henri Remmers, who arranged $31 million in private funding and won the endorsement of the Dutch Health Ministry. Remmers said he hoped when people learn more about the “unique mechanism” that the human body is, “then you’ll have more respect for your own body, and possibly treat it a little more carefully.”

The models are in both the mens’ and ladies’ bathrooms and can be seen pulling suggestive poses in lingerie and other sexy outfits. Unfortunately the models in question are just mannequins.

But the toilets have turned out to be one of the Eighth Avenue shopping centre’s main attractions in the conservative northern Portuguese city of Sao Joao da Madeira.

In the mens’ bathroom, women mannequins dressed in lingerie or short skirts are behind a glass wall in front of the urinals.

The male models who stare out of glass galleries in the womens’ bathrooms have also been a hit, giving food for thought to some of the visitors.

Manager Jose Duarte said: “People find it really funny, everybody wants to come and see it, and sometimes we see husbands blocking the mens’ bathroom so that their wives can have a look inside.”

This baby squirrel starts to be choosy in its food. My dad used to give cashew nuts and peanuts. It will eat all. Now, the squirrel only eat cashew nut. My dad then gave only the peanuts for him to eat. And guess what…the squirrel steal cashew nuts from my dry kitchen. Really bad squirrel. Now must keep the squirrel out of my bananas.

These monkeys have actually been missing in action for the past 6 months. Now they are back and creating havoc outside my house. It started with them fighting for food. Running around chasing each member that have food in their hand. Thats not my problem. My problem is those assholes throw the plastic bag which contain food that they had consumed into my house (garden). And they do it right in front of me. Being water-sprayed is their result for irritating me. Seeing them sitting at my house entrance gate and electrical wire making faces really irritates me.

Before the 6 months duration where they have gone missing, they have been stealing bittergourds, brinjals and tomatoes from my house garden. The bittergourd and brinjal plant were pull off the ground when my dad was really disappointed as we never had a chance to taste our hard earned yield. As for the tomato plants, my dad caged it up with fences and held the fences tightly to the ground. Those stupid monkeys came and jump and pull on the fences. For their size, they are damn strong. They gave up quite fast hence they didn’t manage to grab any tomatoes but the cage is nearly destroyed. If they had stayed longer, its gone. My dad have to fix the cage back everytime they mess with it.

Now that they are back and since my tomato plants are getting old, my dad replace the tomato plants with chilli plants. Monkeys don’t eat chillies. As they found no food from my house garden, they start to search for other alternative food. This time its my fish food. These monkeys are real smart-ass. They only choose the most expensive fish food to eat. Everytime my fish food gone missing, it will always be the most expensive one. They did open the cover of the cheaper fish food but they don’t touch it. Next time, I will put high quality poison food outside my house.

As for the squirrels, they only start to be more visible recently. They are cute (not as cute as those I see before) but they are worst. They don’t create havoc outside my house. Instead, they create havoc inside my house. In one week, they came into my house 3 times. Well, they are small enough to come in thru the window.

At first, one squirrel came into my house kitchen. I don’t know why is it doing there. There are no food in the kitchen. My mum thought it was a rat cause the tail is very thin. The second time, 3 squirrels were inside my house eating our bananas and a bunch of them were outside looking at them. I don’t know whether the bunch of squirrels outside is waiting for their turn to eat or waiting for their bananas. Anyway, they managed to eat 3 out of our 6 bananas. The worst part is they shit and urinate in our kitchen creating a foul smell in the kitchen for few days. The third time is a squirrel went into my room during midnight when I was sleeping. I only realised it in the morning when I switch on the light. Don’t know what it want in my room. It didn’t touch my sweets. However, it left a foul smell in my room and I have to use house refreshener to get rid of the smell.

Haih…can’t the monkeys and squirrels just stay outside of my house and stop intruding my territory. I am planting grapes now. When it start to bear fruits, my dad will have to cage it.

I had my hands on this Penang Har Mee when Carrefour was doing promotion for 10 packets at a cheaper price. Without even considering the risk, I bought it straight away. Well, it doesn’t turn out to be that delicious. In fact, it is not delicious at all.

I cooked the first packet for my mum. My mum who was a har mee lover hates it. Just imagine. She said the soup was sweet, not spicy and watery. No prawn paste taste at all. So I cooked the second packet for myself with less water. Its really not delicious. Period.

My mum told me she don’t want to eat it anymore. This means that I have to swallow the rest of the 8 packets myself. For the third packet, I put pieces of meat from a fried chicken to cook with the Har Mee. Surprisingly, the chicken taste nice. I also eat with my own sambal. It taste better and spicier. I realised that the soup is very oily. Should put half a packet of oil only.

For the fourth packet, I put lesser water and half a packet of oil. But still it is not spicy though the soup is salty. No har mee taste. Real disappointing. Luckily I have my sambal to spice up my life. This time I realise the noodle is kenyal (what is kenyal in english?). More kenyal than Maggi Kari Letup. I took some picture of the Har Mee and the mee still didn’t swell up and become yuckily soft. One good point to encourage me to finish up the remaining 6 packets. Gosh!!!

The police’s National Diversity Expertise Centre (LECD) wants sex allowed in all public parks in the Netherlands. The police institute has advised the cities to follow the example of Amsterdam, De Telegraaf newspaper reported Friday.

In Amsterdam’s Vondelpark, owners of dogs let off the leash can be fined, but sex will shortly be permitted. “Why should we try to maintain something that is actually impossible to maintain, which also causes little bother for others and for a certain group actually signifies much pleasure?” says Paul van Grieken, the responsible Alderman in the Oud-Zuid district of Amsterdam.

Van Grieken confirmed that the plan to tolerate public sex in Vondelpark is part of a draft version of new rules of conduct for the city’s best-known park. The regulations are to come into force after the summer. “Of course there are strict rules attached. Thus, condoms must always be cleared away, it must never take place in the neighbourhood of children’s playgrounds and the sex must be restricted to the evening and night-time.”

The draft memorandum says that fines will be maintained for dogs running around off the leash that, for example, cause nuisance to sunbathing or cycling users of the park. “The research showed that many people find this disturbing,” according to the alderman.

LECD is now calling on Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht to tolerate ‘cruising’ gays in all their parks. In a letter to the administrators of the three cities, the police institute says that by regulating sex in public, the safety of homosexuals from ‘queer-bashers’ can be better guaranteed.

Thus, it says in the recommendations that “officers must not disturb the activities, as long as they do not cause any actual nuisance” and they would “only have to take corrective action if there is a question of actual offensive behaviour that is visible from the public path.”

Homosexuals’ organisation COC is pleased that the Amsterdam Oud-Zuid district is to be the first to tolerate sex in the Vondelpark. “Cruising is something belonging to all time and banning it does not work anyway. They do it surreptitiously and mostly without others being annoyed by it. But homos at cruising spots are often attacked. By now agreeing rules of behaviour on this, safety can be increased,” according to COC Amsterdam chairman Dennis Boutkan.

Please give some comment about following news.

When its about to end, the emcee told the squash player to “give” souvenirs to the audience. It was very sweet of her. She threw the souvenir to almost all directions. Firstly to her bottom right. Then to her top left followed by bottom left. Lastly is to the direction where I was, top right. Too bad…the momentum was good at first and the souvenir height is at my eye level. However about two hand length from me, it just lost the momentum and drop straight on to the ground (someone down there took it). There were sounds of OOO in disappointment. Its was real fun. The souvenir was a CIMB light blue T-shirt. Janson was saying why you guys (me and other people) get so excited over a T-shirt. Well, its not about the T-shirt. Its the excitement of fighting for it, the anticipation, the hope, the fun and if you get it, its a bonus. Poor Janson…don’t know how to enjoy.

The squash player packed her things and bye bye she goes. People at my place starts to move away but something kept my feet there. I don’t want to move. I told Janson, “why don’t we wait a little while more and see whose gonna play next.” In less than 5 minutes they announced the next squash players and guess what…one of them is our very own Malaysian squash player Nicol David (in blue sleeveless). The applause that was given to her by the audiences were real loud as her name was announced. It was so great to see her live.

Both the players start by warming up, rehearsing in the squash court. After about 5 minutes, they started to compete. From what I saw, its an easy game for Nicol. So many people was cheering for Nicol and everytime she win 1 point, WOW, the cheering will be greater. I only watched halfway as my poor Janson want to go home. Anyway from the news, Nicol David won the championship. Congratulations to her.

It was such an experience for me. This was the first time I saw a squash court in a shopping complex. Its quite funny at first but then its possible. First time seeing Nicol David live (eventhough not very near la). Sooo great.

Thousands of Taiwanese crowd the local night markets in search of their favourite and delicious snacks, and Taipei’s Shihlin Night Market is the most famous due to its very wide range of local delicacies in its small streets and alleys. If a snack is nice, you can surely find it in Shihlin. The locals say, “If Taiwan has it, Shihlin has it”. With Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks, Singaporeans and Taiwanese alike can now do the same and enjoy the wonderful street snacks of Taiwan!

Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks is now available on the 1st floor of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Shopping Centre. It is located at the same level and the same side as Mercato supermarket. If you know where is J.CO Donuts & Coffee, you will be able to see Lavender bread store from there and Shihlin is just situated behind Lavender. They sell XXL Crispy Chicken, Handmade Oyster Mee Sua and a few more but I forgotten the names.

I bought XXL Crispy Chicken to give it a try. The price is RM5.50 and no taxes were charged. They make it right away when you order. So you have to wait for them to fry it. They place the chicken in flour then it was fried in two different oils. I don’t know what is it for. The XXL Crispy Chicken is made bone-in and uncut so as to retain its original flavour and juiciness. They don’t cut the chicken into small pieces for you like those in pasar malam (night markets). The most they will do is to pull it to separate it into two. Yeah the bone helps retain the original flavour and juiciness, however it is too big and cumbersome that it is very messy to deal with since they don’t provide any eating tools for you. Your fingers will surely get oily. There are so much meat surrounding the bone. How can one don’t use their hand if they don’t want to waste it.

Half of the chicken is thick and with bone and the other half is thin without bone. For the thick part, there are bones and as you eat nearer to the bone, the meat looks pinkish but its cooked. Just the sight of it is not nice. There are also thick pieces of meat. The spices are not tasty enough to cover the whole meat. If you like tasty food just like me, ask them to add more spices. Same applies if you like it spicy. I will definitely love it spicy. As for the thin part, it is tasty enough but the crisp flour is as thick as the chicken that you can’t taste the flavour and juiciness of the chicken. I measured and its like in 1cm depth, there is 0.5cm of chicken and 0.5cm of crisp flour. The chicken is kind of dry also cause its thin and in some part, you will eat only crisp flour. In total, there are approximately 70% meat & crisp flour and 30% bone. You will be full if you are not very hungry (it still depends as I am a big eater).

My recommendations for them are to marinade the chicken more and to make the chicken as proportional as possible from one end to another.

Synopsis: This action-thriller is about love amidst greed, speed and primal desires. A gorgeous young automobile fanatic and front to the hottest unsigned band on the West coast finds herself caught up in illegal drag-racing competitions organized for the pleasure of a bunch of bored billionaires.

Does the synopsis sounds boring? There are negative critics found in newspaper and internet on this movie. Redline was released in America about 1 year before Malaysia. With so many critics, I actually thought twice on whether to go and watch this movie or not. Since the tickets are free, I shouldn’t waste it.

Redline is all about car racing and girls. Before races, they will show the girl’s boobs and butts. There are guys fighting. The fighting scenes always involved Carlo (who didn’t race). Girls pillow fight on bed while laughing. Well, all the scenes are quite stupid (but with purpose) except when it comes to racing. You can’t compare Redline and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Its very stupid of those critics who compared between these two movies. Redline is about normal car racing while Tokyo Drift is about car drifting. It is acceptable if The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Initial D are compared. Shame on those critics. No objections that the best thing ever in Redline is the cars. Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster, Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT. There are more but I only know this few. Ending? Of course the bad people suffers and the good people enjoys. Do not expect the plot to be something fabulous. Just watch with an open heart and enjoy the girls, the cars and the racing. I heard people saying WOW! during the show. So, its not that bad.

On the way downstairs after the movie, I heard a band playing musical instruments. There are many people watching them. This is not the first time I saw this band playing. Do they play everyday at about 7pm? Its quite enjoyable and there are people carrying their young child and jiggle in a dancing mode. It was a nice sight.

Well movie lovers, go and watch this movie. It worth your money.
