Annual Ninja Festival

Okay, I didn't know at ALL there were such things, but luckily, I stumbled upon this article in Borneo Post yesterday about this Annual Ninja Festival.

Well, apparently this Annual Ninja Festival runs from April 1 to May 6 each year (well, that's why they call it an annual event duh.. lol). The festival features ninja-inspired dance performances, competitions, and opportunities to practice ninja skills. But don't worry, this article assured us that real ninjas no long exists! Phew! Hehe..

It would be so cool to dress up like a ninja during this festival, don't you think??


Even this cute doggy was dressed up like a ninja!

You all can still check out this festival, and also check out the ninjas in all over the town, like in souvenir shops, restaurant menus, signboard of shops, painted on walls in public bathrooms, shapes into cookies and dolls, and so many more!

Read more (and see more pics) about this article here!

It's sounds so cool! I wanna go check it out too!

My Cherished Item

One of my favourite jewelry has got to be my gold chain. Oh wait.. gold necklace. Well, they're more or less the same, aren't they? LOL..

This is a present from my parents on my 21st birthday. (or was it on my 18th birthday??) Each of my siblings were given one as well when they celebrated their 18th/21st birthdays. It's kind of a tradition that runs in my family; giving a necklace with a cross when you've reached a certain mature age. Interesting, huh?

Though some people may think it's quite a simple gift, I think it's one of my cherished presents from my parents, because of this necklace and cross pendant, I believe it has made me 'safer' (if you know what I mean..)

So what are the presents that you cherish most from your parents?

Finally! He Has Spoken!

Who am I talking about?

This guy, Brian McFadden, an ex-member of the group Westlife.

And what has he finally talked about? What else, if not about his ex-wife, ex-Atomic Kitten member, Kerry Katona??

With all that boozing, cocaine taking, smoking about 20 ciggies a day, and non-stop binging on junk food throughout her recent pregnancy, it's no wonder why he called her "a disgusting human being". Will she ever think of going into one of those alcohol rehabs, with all that boozing she had?

Well.. whatever..


Brian is SO much better with fiancee Delta Goodrem!

The £8million Dubai Mansion

Yup. How lucky are Victoria Beckham's parents to be given an £8million Dubai waterfront property just like that?

Where is the location, you ask?


Of course it had to be at one of the best locations on earth: the Palm Jumeirah estate!

But I had read a funny received from an email recently about an American living in Dubai. At first he loved the sun, sea, and weather. Then he started to complain on the heat and that it never rains. Then he really curses that it never rains like in the US. And when his aircon in his condo and car broke down, he vowed that he would never stay at such a hot place again, and moved back to the States. LOL..

Anyway, if you have all the money in the world, where would you purchase your oceanfront property at in the world?

Gossip Headlines Are Really Funny

Gossip news really do amuses me. Like today, one of the entertainment headlines of an online newspaper reads: Britney Spears on the treadmill! She is shaping for another comeback! LOL!

Don't they have any other gossip news to tell other than some celebrity working out? And they're still criticising her for her MTV VMA awards appearance! Sheesh! Such old news!

This reminds me of a movie I watched sometime back called Paparazzi. It's really scary what these paparazzis would do in order to get their pictures!
