Swatch Wall Clock

I would like to share our living room wall clock. We wanted something different. Something that will stand out in a crowd. The plan was initially to get an antique wall clock but we settled on a Swatch Wall Clock. 

The unopened box


We recently had a small gathering in our family home and as expected, one of the main attraction was the Swatch wall clock. I spend quite a lot of time explaining on the many queries posed

Godzilla

Godzilla 

After unearthing of 2 chrysalises in a mine in the Philippines. From the pods came two giant radiation eating creatures, known as "MUTOs", which cause great damage in Japan, Hawaii and the United States. Their awakening stirs Godzilla, whose existence has been kept secret by the U.S. government since 1954. That is the premise for the new Godzilla movie in 2014.

It is by far the best Godzilla movie to date. 

Known in Japan as Gojira. It is described as a cross between a gorilla and a whale. Alluding to its ginormous size, power and aquatic origin.

The original Gojira. Godzilla for the rest of the world


Godzilla's signature weapon is its "atomic breath," a nuclear blast that it generates inside of its body. Its dorsal fins lights up ominously from its tail to its head before unleashing from its jaws blue radioactive heat ray that could pulverize a city. 

Godzilla does not like humans but will fight alongside humanity against common threats. However, it makes no special effort to protect human life or property.

I'm glad to say that the new Godzilla movie stays true to its origin and its a blast.

Awesome poster of the new movie

One of Godzilla foe is Mothra. (The beautiful gigantic butterfly). The Godzilla, MUTO, Mothra, Buildings and small helicopter seen here is the Bandai version 



Is the suffixation of Moth and adding "ra". In Japan its known as Mosura. Its basically an  colorful enormous size moth.

It is portrayed as a giant insect that lives on a tropical island, where it is worshiped as a deity. It is a peaceful character that only fights to protect itself, its allies or the earth. It is usually accompanied by miniature twin fairies, who summon it into battle by singing a prayer (Mosura No Uta

Thye Hong, Pavilion Fried Carrot Cake and Omelet Oyster

I must thank my lovely wife for yesterdays scrumptious dinner. Thye Hong is located at the food court of Pavilion shopping center  


The counter is nothing much to look at but you will be surprised by the quality of food


From the counter you can visibly view the chef at work


Fried Carrot Cake. It not only looks yummy but taste yummy too. As you can see, beautifully wrapped around with eggs. RM9.00


Omelet Oyster. This is not only the bomb but also smells good to. RM14.00


Adding chili paste just brings up the food another notch


Carrot Cake was soft and brilliant. Each bite burst with flavor and the egg just makes the dish that more tasty. The Oyster was cooked mildly, hence not spoiling the "sea" taste deliciously associated with fresh oysters. The paste or batter used to make the starch for the Oyster Omelet was equally soft almost towards gooey. This combination just made the omelet the bomb and I savored each bite.

To me this meal must be eaten with chili paste and chopsticks

Closeup the Oyster. My only complaint is that too little Oysters and they were too small in size


Oh yes another complaint, the take away box, is not to be desired
