Hyde Park - London in 90s Winter

 I still have one more boring post of my recent China's trip and decided to dig up some antique 
photos for some good laughs. I looked like a skinny nerd when I was younger. 
The photos below were taken over 20 years ago when I flew to London from United States 
for my Christmas and New Year countdowns with my cousin and best friends by the Thames River.




Does it look like me? This was taken in the beautiful Hyde Park, in Central London 
during the Christmas Winter. The whole park was very cold and deserted! 
My photos were so dull and greyish as usual during cold seasons.




 

I went to a Christmas party and boozed until I collapsed drunken & high 
inside the toilet of a gay couple's posh apartment near Chelsea Harbour. Months earlier, 
that cousin had visited me in US and we both had the greatest holidays to visit California, Arizona and New York City. 
Let me go dig those photos if you wanna see them.




 

This is my cousin and we were like dogs & cats when growing up in Penang. 
We often fought using neck breaking punches and flying kicks almost killing each other. 
He has married & migrated to Melbourne after a working stint for Robert Kuok's Group.



 

London and Hyde Park is truly a lovely & very happening place to visit. 





I shall take my honey there next Spring to see the beautiful flowers and singing birds on trees.

Happy Birthday To Me @ Ossoto Spa

This is not a paid post and all are being written solely based on my own personal opinion. As photography is strictly prohibited at Ossoto Spa, I had to borrow the clips from their ossoto.com video and zh.buzzhand.com to better illustrate my good experience with the hope that public will give their support to this place.

I actually discovered the luxurious indulgence of spa relaxations during my holiday trips abroad. To be exact, it was in Xian when we saw the famous Huaqing Hot Springs where the many famous Emperors like Han Wu Di, Taizong and Xuanzong soaked themselves with their concubines from October until Spring!!! From there, I made a maiden visit to pamper myself at the best spa available in Xian which was a perfect timing during their cold winter. That spa was damn huge with several whirlpool jacuzzis with aqua jets of hot water sprays to melt away all the knots & clots all over your body! So far I have checked out several other top notch spa havens in Shanghai, Cheng…

Do You Believe In Prayers?

This weekend, I will be away to visit the very ancient Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. My wife and I have to fly to the Silk Road's belt of Xi'an again and board a 22 hour train ride to reach Dunhuang in the Gansu Province of China, where the famous Gobi Dessert lies. We had visited Xi'an 2 years ago and saw the Terracota Warriors and scaled China's most dangerous Huashan Mountains. What makes Mogao Caves in Dunhuang so famous today??

How To Build Natural Cartilage?

I would like to share a family secret which I was earlier hesitant to reveal in my blog. Instead I have been sharing this method with only my closest friends. Yesterday, I received a text message from my delighted friend who confirmed that her 78 year old father had recovered from his years of knee and joint aches. I decided that I should not keep quiet anymore after all I learnt this secret from a close relative. It has been further confirmed by other friends that their old aunties and uncles have improvement or recovered on their knee & joint aches.
Let me share a bit of introduction to give you some confidence of my miracle source. Many years ago, I brought my late parents to visit my aunty whose father was the most famous Dr. Teh Lean Swee in Ipoh. This granduncle of mine was very well known for building the first Chinese Maternity Hospital in Ipoh and he himself was the brother-in-law of Tan Sri Runme Shaw who founded the Shaw Brothers. The road outside AEON Shopping Mall in…
