Amazing Race 6

Yes, the Amazing race is back with Season 6, November 16th, the race around the world begins. The usual mix of characters fill majority of the cast with the usual Grandparents, Parents, Long distance, Models, Father-Daughter, Sisters, Bestfriends, and a new odd couple and this season it is the Wrestling family. Here are the winners for the past 5 Amazing Race, who will take the Million this time? Well, looking at the past race winnings below, it has bee 3 friends and 2 married couple, if I were to make a non-intelligent guess, it would be a Married couple winning this time.

Amazing Race 5 - Chip & Kim (Married Parents)
Amazing Race 4 - Reichen & Chip (Married Couple)
Amazing Race 3 - Flo & Zach (Friends)
Amazing Race 2 - Chris & Alex (Friends)
Amazing Race 1 - Rob & Brennan (Best Friends)

The biggest winner so far has been Phil Keoghan, who has been busy with his new show, NOW (No Opportunity Wasted) on the discovery channel. As usual, Phil will be at the scene and walk the audience through the task of the participants. But it just does not feel right as we all know Phil in Amazing Race and this new show just don’t feel right. Well, that’s just my perspective. The new show is a win win for participants, community and even the audience gets a kick from watching them. The participants would usually have a dream, and it would usually(sometimes not) involve community work, such as building a boxing club for the local kids to stay out of the streets or making a picture to create awareness for the US veteran soldiers who’s country has abandon them. And Phil has a new book that goes by the show title too.....

Sperm Bank

I was at a friends wedding dinner last weekend, where I manage to meet up with some of my school friends .  One of which has been working in this sperm bank in KL for about two years.  I didn ’ t even know and infact, none of us at the dinner know about sperm banks in M ’ sia till this guy told us.   His company would pay anyone willing, RM100 for a shot of sperm.  Qty can vary, depending on how much one person can produce per session.   And there is an additional RM100 bonus if the sperm count is high.  We were totally shock and was wondering how come we didn ’ t know about this earlier on, especially during our student days .  According to him, the company has been in KL since 1987 , we were all like.. “ what the ”… If only we knew last time, we would have made some good deal of money … hehe.. He was telling that there is this 17 years old kid earns RM4000 in a period of 6 months … wow.. This is a lot of money for that age.  This is a good side income, for those who

Digital Prints

I went over to BJC last night to have some photos printed (from http://sweetsour.uni.cc/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=12 ). I asked some of my friends here in office they told me that the cheapest that we can get for 4R digital print here in Penang is about RM0.45 per piece.  However, he doesn’t know where it was.  Since I was quite in a hurry, and I didn’t want to or rather lazy to scout around, I just went to a photo shop that I know in BJC, the ground floor Kodak Photo Shop that is in the middle (literally) of the complex.  It cost Rm0.60 per piece, quite a lot more than the cheapest price, but since I am only printing a few, I didn’t mind.  It only took a hour to get the photos developed and we paid RM4.00 for one of the photo to be blown up to 5R.  Notice the huge price difference between 4R & 5R.  However, the photos did not turn up as expected.  The shop pretty much adjusted the contrast and color a little and that resulted red blemishes (like rashes) to appea

The search for Rechargeable Batteries

With the new camera, I need to get new rechargeable batteries. I did some digging and found the highest mAh is 2500mAh and the fastest charger is 15 minutes. I have not decided which to buy yet. Energizer Energizer have a few kind of chargers, the 15min charger, the 30min charger, the car charger and the regular chargers. The energizer web site is rather rich in information, especially on how rechargeable batteries work . There are also information on other batteries types and also how to care for your batteries and a whole heap of batteries information. Best battery site I have seen, with nice cartoonist illustration and animation. The Technical Information is available, but it was not detailed enough for my liking, and this is the only drawback that the site has. Charging Time Cost 15Min $3x 30Min $27 Car Charger (2 hrs) $26 Regular charger (4-8hrs)
