Who's Stronger?


The economy certainly isn't bullish these days but Arturo DiModica's bronze charging bull in Wall Street still attract a lot of tourists. Last week, Adrian decided to pay this famous bull a visit while waiting for me to get off work.

Adrian vs. the Bull -- see how Mr. Bull is trying to knock Adrian off the photo?

What about him giving this little girl the "bulls-eye"?

Kung Fu Panda


When I first saw the trailer for Kung Fu Panda, I wasn't very impressed. I thought, "Not another animation movie." But, Po is so cute and such a reluctant hero. Now, I am so tickled over his colorful shorts. I love it!

I would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely better than the Shrek sequels. Very nice animation and the soundtrack is great.

The moral of the story: never judge a book by its cover, awesomeness is within yourself if you only believe and girth saves the day!

Heatwave, Thunderstorm & Hail


Our North East weather saga continues...

Immediately after the heatwave, a major thunderstorm ensued two nights ago - heavy rain, lightning, rumbling thunder and hail.

Another tree - two women surveying the damage

And another...

Is it hot or what?!

Unless you're addicted to the sun, the weather has been the pits. It has been extremely hot since Saturday and the heatwave has continued on till today. The worst part is that we're expecting more heat over the next 2 days and it is not even officially summer yet!

Global roasting warming here we come.

Almost 40C/101F -- the peak of our "hotness" today :(

Let's turn to a more cooling topic...

Adrian's quest for an aquarium full of goldfish continued with the addition of 3 more goldies. At first, I thought that it would be a nice little hobby for him but now it's becoming an "obsession".

Feeding frenzy

Goldfish are like garbage trucks. They'll eat whatever amount of flakes you throw into the tank. Must be careful not to over-feed them.
