Cat's hair

Dr. Chandra Suresh (sounds familiar, right?) had spent his entire life in researching the genetic code of a cat. (Yes, cat, don't ask me why he researched cat, out of so many animals out there)

After 48 years of tireless research he found out that cat's hair of a side is always more than the other side. (don't ask me how he carried out the experiment, may be he counted the hairs...)

It's believed to be inherited from cat's great great great grandparents - the hairless Sphynx

Now, make a guess, which side of a cat has more hair than the other side?


**heard this from Fly FM while I was driving to work this morning =)

3 is a facinating number

If I were to choose a favorite number out of 0 - 9, I would say "3"

I'm not sure since when I have developed such affection to this number, but I believe it's very much to do with my high school badge number which ended with 33

Since then, be it coincident or on purpose, I'm always aware that my life is full of this digit -- 3

I think of an example, when I created my email, I would normally try to put an alphabetical string as the sign in name... As you may experience, most of the time the alphabetical string has been registered by others, somehow there is always people earlier than us.

Then we would need to add some numbers behind the log-in name and the common practice is to add one's born year. For example, I'm born in 1991, so I may use RiverBird_91@riverbird.com as my email address.

Or one might use one's age at that time of email registration. For example, I'm born in 1991 and I just turn 18 this year. So my email address shall spell as RiverBird_18@riverbird.com :)

However, as the results of strong affection to digit '3', I always choose 33 instead of my age or my born year!

I think '3' is just too cool not to be chosen!

And lately there are some random figures around me too... coincidentally...

0.3 mm
13 mm


which... I shall reveal the true meaning of them sooner or later.

Stay tuned =)

这个周末看过的电影

这个周末看了两套戏。

很巧的,两套都是以暴力血腥为主,但是看后的感想截然不同。

第一套:


我知道这不是刚刚上映的,但就是因为看了第一集的精彩,所以就下载了这套 Ong Bak 2 来过一过武打瘾。

比起上一集,这一集可算是大手笔,又一大群大象又各国武术的;Tony Jaa 打完泰拳,再打虎拳,然后转回蛇拳,再来咏春;同时也多了武器的演绎 -- 大刀,日本武士刀,三截棍等等的,看到我眼花缭乱!

虽然是打到虎虎生风,但 Tony Jaa 打起中国功夫来,还是有点泰拳的影子~

还有的就是看这套戏呢,用眼睛就好了:
不需要用脑,因为故事性不怎么值得一提!
也不需要用耳朵,因为男生说起泰语,真的是有够他X的娘~~

x x x x x

第二套:


基本上香港电影没有什么好题材了,来来去去都是蛊惑仔。

香港的洪兴作到了没什么可以作了就作台湾的台客,台客也没戏唱了就跑到日本拍三和帮 -- 这正是这套戏的概括!

这套戏唯一特别的地方就是成龙没有武打,而大帅哥吴彦祖就毁容断腕,做个十足的倒霉鬼~

但不要以为这套戏好像很烂,其实还真的蛮扣人心铉的。

血淋淋的场面让我们带着沉重的步伐走出戏院...

x x x x x


总的来说,两套都是不值得去戏院看的戏,呵呵~

09 年 03月尾的某一天早上...








哦!他剪头发了!!!!原来他也是有耳朵的~



Cambodia Trip 2009: Day 3

Fuuuyoooohh ~ 老鸟的这一篇拖了好久啊!!!

都怪自己很懒惰忙啦~~~!!!

结果呢,我自己都把自己的经历忘了一大半啦~哈哈哈!鸟的脑袋不大啦~

就看看我还能记得什么的...

x x x x x x x


由于第二天的时候发现了这里的中央市场 (Central Market)有很多很好吃的熟食,所以我们这一天的一大早就来这里找吃了。

不得不提今天老鸟吃的柬埔寨“凉面”。 为什么说它“凉”呢?因为它端出来的时候一点都不热!下面第三张就是这碗“凉面”的照片了。

照片上可能看不清楚,不过吃的时候才知道其实这小小的一碗里藏着很多的配料。

一大口吃下去的时候首先尝到的是虾仁和猪肉碎,然后咬了咬吃到了弹牙的猪肉皮切丝,还有爽脆的花生粒!当然配菜方面就有肥肥的豆芽,鲜菜,还后齿后留香的千层塔!面条则是粗米粉再淋上不只名的酱汁!因为不烫,所以吃的要诀就是要大口大口的吃,才能把所有的配料混在嘴里咀嚼,强!

然后在众多的甜点里面,江边鸟最爱的就是这个 - 椰浆糯米蒸大豆!大豆的清甜,椰浆的浓郁,糯米的饭香,唯有吃过后才可以想象这个简单配方所带来的魅力!

由于阿车的英文真的没有人听得懂,所以我们决定辞掉他,然后今天自己走,充分享受自由行的乐趣!

但是这对大家而言是问题所在,因为从市中心到 Angkor Wat 的距离是大约 15 公里,一步一步走的话恐怕走到那边的时候就要开始走回家了!

所以我们就到处找脚踏车!

但是这对江边鸟而言又是一个问题所在,因为江边鸟的有生之年其实没有踏过几次的脚车而已!更别说在一个陌生的国度,崎岖不平的道路,踏着这个用 USD 3 租来的 ah pek 脚车!就是那种前面有个篮子,完全没有避震系统,震到我双手发麻,踏到我双脚发软,坐到我屁股发酸的脚车!

这绝对是江边鸟人生中的其中一个经典!



尽管双手发麻,双脚发软,屁股发酸,我们骑了两个小时,终于来到了这里 -- Ta Prom

Angelina Jolie 的 Tomb Raider 曾经到过这里取景的!



其实踏到来这里后已经很累了,但是又不能这样停下来,因为我们还是得踏回市中心,所以就只有慢慢的慢慢的踏回去。

我说的慢真的是很慢的那种,慢到全部人都看不到踪影了剩下江边鸟一只鸟在后面慢慢的踏...



就这样!来回 30km!江边鸟做到了!但是回到市区的时候已经天黑了!

x x x x x x x


白天的辛劳是值得的,
因为看到了很漂亮的古迹,永世难忘;
因为这也写下了江边鸟的人生纪录,脚车行;
当然也因为这一杯用来好好犒赏自己的 Margaritas!

带着少少的醉意回到房间,结束了充实的一天...
