Humorous comment by Kenny Sia

While browsing the internet, chanced upon these very humorous comments by Kenny Sia, Quote:

(Travelling by taxis in Indonesia can be quite risky. At the advice of kennysia.com readers, I was told only to travel in those blue "Blue Bird" taxis in Jakarta.

Terrible name. If this were in Kuching, no chance in hell is a taxi called "Blue Bird" is ever gonna last long.

I mean seriously, not a lot of Kuching folks would feel comfortable sitting in some Lam Jiao taxi right!?

"Blue Bird" may be a horrible name for a taxi, but they are the only one with a good safety record around here.

They are so good that some of their competitors had even painted their vehicles blue to confuse people.

Yea, nowadays you can even get pirated Lam Jiao taxis.)

Happy hours @ People Association

I had many interesting and memorable times at the PA.

They used to organise a wide varieties of interesting activities for singles each month. I always look forward for the new Channel Magazine they sent me each month, which listed almost all the interesting activities all over Singapore to stay connected.


You name it they had it. Whether you want to go travelling, discos, camping, karaoke, tea dance, cooking, ice skating, learn some new things & dancing classes they have it. We are able to join the community clubs in different parts of Singapore.

Some of my most memorable and happiest activities were my two days trip to the Batam kelong.The sunrise, sunset, the moon in the middle of the open sea, spicy fresh sea foods made one of my most memorable trip.

Usually the dancing classes were fully booked. No wonder the ladies are such good dancers. On one occasion when I received the channel, straight away I sent my check to PA for the intermediate class, it was rejected because it was already fully booked. It was so popular it was fully booked even before it was open to the public.

Every Saturday there was usually a disco program at a hotel in Orchard Road at a favorable price for PA to practice our steps. Sometimes I went down. At one instances, when I invited a lady to dance.

Wow! That was a fantastic experience of my life, the lady dancer was better than me in dancing. You might thought as a man I had no problem in throwing her around, but the opposite was true.

She would throw me round and round, we were dancing one hour plus non-stop, my whole body were sweating so profusely. Obviously the lady was very experience at dancing.

My shirt was wet with my sweat, the edge were coming out, some parts where torn, trying to catch up with her and the disco tempo were so fast I couldn't even had the time to think of my next step. She kept throwing me, I kept following.

It was one of the most vigorous activities of my life. The encounter with the lady dancer was so dramatic and hectic. I was frequently grasping for air, lost a shirt button, but fortunately not my pants.

When I reach home after some time my whole body and bones were aching from the unexpected workout.

Some of the more interesting activities was an outing at the Pasir Ris resorts. It was an overnight affair. We would chit-chat with the ladies till the wee hours and adjourned to the nearby beach at Changi to continue our conversations watching the beautiful sea.

There were a combination of karaoke, disco and swimming at the resort. The sound system were blasting out songs near the swimming pool. With whole loads of fun and activities.

At one outing in St John islands, we got to build the camps ourselves, and participated in lots of games.

Unfortunately PA cut us off when we were married. I think we should be continue to be able to participate, because there is such a wide varieties of activities for us to choose which they were able to put together in a single magazine for us to choose to enjoy and socialise.

Because PA had such a huge contact with lots of organisations, so organising lots of different activities is not a problem.

It's difficult to find in other areas. Not all them went there to look for partners, they joined it because some of their activities are interesting to them. I felt that some ladies came here more were interested in the activities than finding a partner.

The People Association put together such wide varieties of activities it like, at least one or two programs, that are interesting and to learn something each month.

If at that time blogging were invented, it will be more interesting, after the activities we still be able to stay connected and know more about each other better through blogging.

Super live human electric conductor

Must see:
Miracle man demonstrated his body ability to conduct electricity, and running live current through his body and lighting a bulb.

A stunning breakthrough

Years ago, I was working in the press. On the cover of the machines there were inks and chemicals which had sticked on it for lots of years, it seem impossible to remove. I am able to finally removed it. After moving the stains on the cover it look almost as new and shining.

These incident had attracted the attention of a Japanese teacher, I don't know how he got to know about it and he was so impressed, he brought his whole class of students to study it and compared the machines which had the stains removed and the one which had not removed.

Imagine the surprise the stains that had been there for a lots of years suddenly were removed. You can see the amazement on their faces, when they compared the one which had the stains removed and the one that were not removed.

After months of finding ways to clear the stains, through continue experimenting and finding the right chemicals to clear irremovable stains, I finally found a concoction of chemicals, that able to remove most of the stains. The chemicals were able to make the cover look shining.

I used the hand washing agents combine with kerosene and some other chemicals. (Hand washing agents is not normally used to clean the machinery)

As after the stains were removed, everybody were stunned because the stains on the cover of the printing machines were there lots of years and were thought to be impossible to remove .

Secrets recipes for cooking yummy chicken rice and steamboat

Some of Singapore most favorite food are chicken rice and steamboat.

My mother had been cooking for more 50 years, she use to cook very tasty soup for us. I had since learnt some secrets from her.

I believe the best steamboat should be cook in clay pot using charcoal, this way is much tastier.

And tip into the fried shallots oil with soya sauce that I mention below. Nowadays because of convenience it is usually cook by gas and metal utensils which don't bring out the best of the soup.

The soup will be more tasty, if you don't mind spending some time using more elaborate procedures.

My all time favourite dish is chicken dumpsticks cook by my mother. Usually during the Chinese New Year reunion dinner where she will prepare my favourite food- chicken dump sticks(a bit raw).

An old chicken seller, teach my mother to cook the best chicken rice it need to a bit of raw and not to overcook it. So that when you eat it, it will be very smooth.

The fried shallot oil is the key to bring out the best of the flavour, with light soya sauce and sliced spring onions, putting the all together in bowl. Which is use as tipping sauce for the steamboat and chicken.

To cook the sliced shallots to perfection. Burn the wok hot. Then put the oil in, throw in the sliced onion. Cook until it is yellow, stop the fire, it should not be brown, if not the after effect will made it sour.

This combination of near raw chicken and fried shallot oils, will bring bring you to the heaven state.

My feedbacks/ideas were adopted

I sometimes send and shares my ideas to the medias. Zoe Tay and some of the media artistes might not exists in the media today, if I had not send my suggestions to the then Singapore Broadcasting Corp.

Years ago I had sent my suggestions to Singapore Broadcasting Corp. (presently Mediacorp) , to set up a contest and that give generous incentives, to winners of acting contests to draw out talented people to come forward. Later they widen the talent pool, drawing contestants from overseas.

In my younger days, I read widely. I love to read about the life stories of great people. My hero were Thomas Edison whose inventions made the world a better place to live. Henry Ford for his mastering of the art of mass productions of cars & Florence Nightingale for her profound dedications to the sufferings and the sicks.

I had replied to an MP, as the MP had wrote to me for suggestions for bond the community when my wife got the PR, to built a 50 storey building to house multi-functional activities people to socialise, to bond the community near MRT.

My suggestions might had influenced the government, to allow the building of a 50 storey HDB with multi-facilities near Tanjong Pagar MRT station, at that I don't think they will consider such tall residential dwellings.

The a building a multi functional complex near One-North and Buona Vista MRT . Which can hold cultural, shopping, arts & musical activities etc

Long ago I had suggested making tourism as country main economic driver, now finally they had adopted the ideas. As tourism industries are sustainable and recurring in long run. And we need to continue to come up with fresh ideas to draw the tourists.

Our industries might had difficulties completing with India and China cheap, educated and large labour pool. The Bahamas, Las Vegas, Macau big part of their economy were driven by tourism. They too do not have much resources.

As I was greatly inspired by the works and contributions of the Nobel Prize Winners to humanity. I suggested giving numerous smaller awards, now I saw schools, always displayed their awards outside the fence in their banners.

I had wrote about building more library near the MRT for easier access. They are building libraries near Clementi and Searangoon MRT.

Sometimes ago I , Dee Kay & Nelson Poon discussing on building barriers on the MRT in the ping.sg shoutbox. Recently they started to build the MRT barriers.

In those days computers is not widely uses so its difficult to record down all my ideas or what I had contributed, or some of my ideas were adopted. Now I can write in my blog if I had some good and inspiring ideas.
