Over the weekend, a girlfriend asked if I'd be interested in joining her for a trip to Indonesia, Borobudur to be exact. Borobudur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the places I would love to visit but right now, I think the place that I would really like to visit is Shanghai.
Why? To be among the estimated 70 million visitors to the World Expo, of course. Uh-oh, Shanghai is not only THE place to visit, it is also THE place for Chinese cuisine. I probably would need to check out some of these apidexin reviews for weight loss tips after a visit to Shanghai. Kidding, of course, with a BMI reading within range, weight has never been a problem for me. Lucky me, eh?
Tetris has to be my all-type favorite online game. I know, it's so mild. That's why I like it. I'm not about to stress myself gaming, which is supposed to be fun and de-stressing. Different strokes..
I used to spend hours playing Tetris but that was a long time ago. I do play it once in a while though these days, Sudoku is the new passion.
What's your game? Find out what Tetris block are you in this week's personality quiz.
Happy Friday..
You Are the "T" Block
You are very flexible and adaptable. You're able to fill almost any role or do almost any job.
You are peaceful and calm. In fact, you're so tranquil that people often forget you're around.
You prefer to leave the drama to other people. That being said, you sometimes end up cleaning up someone else's mess.
You don't mind doing the dirty work every so often. You're a true team player, and you're always happy to contribute.
Coffee. That one single pick-me-up that starts the day right for most of us. It doesn't matter whether you take it black or white, it's a sure way to kick-start your morning.

When we think of crowd control, most times we'd be thinking of unruliness or a negative picture of some sort. It need not be. Crowd control products help people stay in lines at the bank, for instance, for concerts, political events, at the supermarket, at an airport tarmac, and anywhere someone needs an orderly line.

Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, commonly in May and this year, it falls on May 9. By now, most of us would have got a gift for our mom and probably have also made a dinner reservation for the family to treat mom to a lovely evening.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all moms a Happy Mother's Day!
If you have been reading my blog for a while now, you would know that I have a friend that enjoys irking me with sexist jokes. Of course, it's all in the spirit of sharing so it's all good and fun.
Today, I received something insightful - non-sexist, both Mars and Venus folk can derive some wisdom from.
Children are normally very fascinated with magic tricks. I remember in primary school, a classmate became very popular after her dad's magic performance at a school concert one day. Not sure whether he was a fulltime or professional magician or not but he was dressed like a real magician, black and white attire, cloak, top-hat, with a magician wand and all.
Many people are fascinated with magic and how those amazing magic tricks are done. If you are interested in learning about magic, check out Magic Warehouse. Whether you are shopping for a beginners magic set for some beginner magic tricks, card magic tricks, or the latest magic book or DVD, you would be able to find it at Magic Warehouse. Magic Warehouse represents some of the finest magic manufacturers in the world such as: Vikingr, Harries, JB, John Kennedy, Joe Porper, Nielsen, Johnson, Mikame and more.
Today is Labor Day - nothing much happens around here other than a public holiday. No wait, there used to be some sort of a Government-sponsored parade or gathering in some stadium to commemorate this occasion, a tribute to Workers, you and I - but not sure if this is still practised.
I know four people whose birthday is today, so Happy Birthday, ladies. Don't think you'd see this but just know that I thought of you. *Hugs&Kisses*..
I've always thought having a birth on Labor Day is so apt. I mean, a woman literally goes through labor on that day. Labor Day. Ouch!
All the same, Happy Labor Day or Happy Workers Day, everyone. For baby-boomer music fans, May 1st often brings to mind the Bee Gees number, First of May which is a song recorded by the Bee Gees with lead vocals by Barry Gibb. First of May is a reference to the birthday of Barry's dog, Barnaby. Cool!
Bananaz has put together a sweet version of this classic song. I'm also stoked to embed some videos of this lovely First of May.
Video-watching is eye-opening because the videos show us life as it was lived in a different era. This would sound cliched but, isn't technology wonderful? The hopscotch layout in this video brings back memories when kids games were free, kids playground was a lot safer and covered more grounds, and when roads were not so congested with auto traffic and pollution. Perhaps it's our culture, we'd never go near a cemetery, let alone hang out in one. This video of the movie Melody shows the puppy lovebirds hanging out in a cemetery after school. A little trivia.. The memorable graveyard scenes of the film were shot on location at Brompton Cemetery and Nunhead Cemetery; opened in 1840 Nunhead is one of the oldest Victorian era cemeteries in London.
I picked a video with lyrics so you can sing along before you go over to Bananaz's version. LOL!
This video shows how simple and free life was, maybe still is in rural areas in the West. You could just barter a belonging for a fish in a bottle. Have you done anything like this as a child? Oh, happy days..
A little about Melody. Melody (aka S.W.A.L.K.) is a 1971 British film about puppy love. Although initially a box office disappointment in both the United States and Britain it has over the years become a cult classic. The film turned out to be an enormous hit in Japan, and in some Latin American countries such as Argentina and Chile, according to Wikipedia. I have yet to see it. Will have to seriously look out for it. In the meantime, will have to just settle for this movie trailer.
If you're one who enjoys movie soundtracks, this movie has lots of hits by the Bee Gees including In the Morning, Melody Fair, Give Your Best, and the hit single To Love Somebody, First of May, and the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young hit, Teach Your Children.
