Aha! Moment

Donald Trump was bored with the same-old, same-old. Hillary Clinton was stymied by self-doubt. Then they had one of those unforgettable, connect-the-dots moments, when everything suddenly, somehow changed.

Yes, we're talking Aha! moments, and this month we've collected several of them to rev you up, recharge, and inspire you.

For the wisdom Halle Berry, Tyler Perry, Jay Leno, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn't know they had, read on…

Another Chinese New Year Post

Bazaar held next to Yarra River. There's Lion dance, singing competition (which you can win return ticket to Malaysia), food stalls, psychic reading for $25 (which I don't think it's worth it let alone it's gonna be accurate).


The reception outside Crown Casino. (I'll post more about Crown later on).


Once a year, Crown do this exhibition thingy to celebrate Chinese New Year. Last year they did the same thing as this year with the dragon errr mannequin? (Pardon me for the dark photo)

Love It or Hate It?

The controversial Federation Square building is in much talk since it has been built in 2004. Some people say it's nice with the futuristic touch and some say it's hideous. But you'll be the judge. What I can say is beauty is in the eyes of the "Beerholder".

Pink Paddlers

Swimmers on pink airbeds in the shape of flip-flops form a chain to set a world record on Coogee beach Thursday, January 26 (Australia Day), in Sydney, Australia.

The world record was set when 863 people combined to form the longest line of airbeds in open water.

How Rich Is Bill Gates?

Facts from a Bill Gates:
1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every 4 seconds, that's about US$20 million per day and US$7.8 billion per year!

2. If he drop US$1000 on the street, he won't need to bother to pick it up because with the 4 seconds he need to pick up the money, he already earn the same amount.

3. America national debt is about US$5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates is going to pay the debt himself, he will clear the debt in less than 10 years.

4. He can donate US$15 to everyone in the world but still be able to keep US$5 million for his pocket money.

5. Michael Jordan the highest-paid athlete in America. If he doesn't drink and eat and let the income flow US$30 million a year, he still need to wait 277 years to be as rich as Bill Gates now.

6. If Bill Gates is a country, he will be the 37th richest country in the world or the 13th biggest American company, even ahead than IBM.

7. If all of Bill Gates' money is inUS$1 notes, we can stack it to form a path from earth to the moon, 14 times back and forth! But the path has to be made non-stop for 1400 years and using a total of 713 Boeing 747 to carry all the money.

8. Bill Gates is 50 years old. If we assume he can live for another 35 years, then he need to spend US$6.78 million per day to finish all the money before he died.

9. BUT! If Microsoft Windows user can claim US$1 for everytime the computer hangs, Bill Gates will go bancrupt in 3 years time!

Interesting huh?!? =D

Melbourne's Chinese New Year

This post is a request from Livin' La Vida Loca and I have to say he has given me an inspiration to do something new for my blog and that is to post more photos of Melbourne.

Melbourne has twice ranked first in a survey by The Economist of The World's Most Livable Cities on the basis of its cultural attributes, climate, cost of living, and social conditions such as crime rates and health care, once in 2002, and again in 2004 - Wikipedia
