My Next House Will Be Legendary

A friend of mine recently bought a new house and is wondering if he should renovate the place. One day, he came up to me and said, " Dude, if I ever renovate my place, I want it to be the coolest house around. And probably one that defies the law of gravity.". My initial reaction was, " Macha, are you going to build a floating house?". Wrong thing to say because the very next day, he sent me a link to a page dedicated to houses that defy gravity.



I would be scared if I had to live here. I'd probably worry all the time on whether I will wake up on my bed the next day or on the street.



 Woah! This looks like Noah's Ark, macha. Dude is well prepared for 2012.



Lego houses. Hmm...



 This is actually called a Free Spirit Sphere and it can be found in British Columbia. It's a type of tree house and I think it's awesome possum.



The cube houses. I feel like I'm in an animated world now.


 



This 13 floors, 144 feet high house once belonged to a Russian Gangster. And the name of this house, Gangster House of course. No, I'm not kidding macha.



Mushroom House in Ohio, USA. Wow, I have nothing to say. At all.


 


I've always wanted to live in an upside-down house. Now, all I need to do is get myself to Poland. :)



No, this is not a UFO. It's a pod house. I wonder how do you get up and down from the house.


And finally, this might be the coolest one of all....



 Ladies and gentlemen, this is Heliotrope Rotating House in Germany. You wanna know why this is so cool? This is because architect Rolf Disch built a solar powered home that rotates towards the warm sun in the winter and rotates back toward its well-insulated rear in the summer.


Ok, fine. Although I hate to admit this, I kinda think that this is an awesome idea. I should've thought of this before I renovated my place. If I could, my house would look like this.



Or maybe even this.

There Is A Difference Between Face Bib And Facebib.

"Woah, what on earth is that?". Ever found yourself saying those words to yourself or the people around you in amazement and confusion while pointing to a certain object? Yup, sometimes, we stumble upon things, items and stuff that we never knew existed or we simply do not understand why they existed in the first place. No, I'm not talking about cockroaches or your appendix macha, but the weirdest thing that we human beings have invented.


... and everyone needs a bib... for our faces.


 


Anyway, you see what I mean dude? Why would anyone invent something so quirky and weird that the majority human population will not understand or buy? So, here I am. As confused as ever because I accidentally stumbled upon this picture when I typed facebibs instead of face bibs on a search engine. Don't believe me? Try searching for it and you'll see what I mean. Thus, begins my adventure in looking and writing about the weirdest stuff I could find.


 


Now, take a deep breath and scroll down when you're ready. Don't say I didn't warn you but some of the pictures below may cause extreme stomach ache due to laughter. Behold, Phat Fabes' weirdest discoveries of stuff in planet Earth!


 


"Cause eveyone needs a lap to sleep on....


... and a shoulder to cry on? Huhh?!


Now, this is just plain cool. But if I have a DVD player IN my shoes, where will the screen be? My stomach?


Now, this looks pretty normal, doesn't it? Wait till you see what it's for.


Yup, it's a baby mop. You're never too young to start doing chores.


Not the type who makes your child work? Why don't you try to beautify your child by getting a baby toupee? This funky hairdo is called the Bob? Not your cup of tea? Don't scat macha. We have another famous one coming right up.


Here's another one inspired by Donald "You-Fired" Trump.


Taking the word "Finger Food" to a whole new level.


And lastly my dear machas, this is the one that I find to be the weirdest of all. I guess it was never produced but dude, I kinda think that it's a good idea.


This is a "Poot Protector". Basically, it's a scented pad that you paste on your rear end and everytime you need to let fart (lack of a better word), you don't have to worry if others can smell your dinner from two nights ago! Your farts and mine will now as heavenly as farts could go. I wonder if they have sea breeze scent? That would be awesome.


 


Have you ever stumbled upon a weird invention? Do let me know and maybe we could come up with one ourselves! :)

My Engrish Very Powderful.

Macha, have you ever tried to say something in proper English only to end up embarrassing yourself 'cause suddenly, all your adjectives, pronouns, conjunctions and etc. go haywire. I've been through this so many times, even on air!    



See, even one of the biggest gaming company makes mistake.


And dude, I realised that it happens to everyone especially when you try to speak really fast and you just end up adding one syllable from two words to form a new word. Confused? Don't be. Here's what I mean. Instead of saying, " I want to eat a sandwich now 'cause I'm starving", you'll probably end up saying this (if you rush through your words), "I want to eat a sand now cause I starving".


Not just that, if you're awesome at one language and is bad at another, say like me (I'm good in English but my Bahasa Malaysia is not that great) and you attempt to translate a sentence, the results could be less than effective. And. what you say or wrote might also end up on most blogs.  Here are a few examples.


 


If you think this is bad, wait till you see what I found.



 What is it that is so interestingly dangerous that I can't look and walk at the same time?



Dude, if I need to buy or make coleslaw everytime I need to wash this shirt, I'd be broke in a month.



 Ok, I won't turn. Just climb maybe?


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               



No pasar? Takpe lah. I pergi supermarket.


Is that pee on the signboard? I guess there isn't any fresh air in or out of the toilet.

 



WTH?!


 


So, that's it. Do share some weird or bad English signboards that you've come across with. Or you could lemme know if you've made some no-no's yourself.

How Hare-ppy Will You Be This Year?

Get it? Hare-ppy? As in happy? :) Anyway, here's part 2 of my 2011 predictions. Not mine of course. I did a little research on the net.


For the people born in the year of the horse.


In 2011, the focus for the Horse will be on his career, with unexpected developments and promotional opportunities on the cards. Health and well-being will be on the minds of many Horses in the Chinese Year of the Rabbit and it’s a perfect time to re-think fitness routines and diet. Socially, as always, the Horse will be. Attached Horses will fare better than single ones in 2011. If a new romance is on horizon, the Horse would be well advised to relax and let the relationship develop slowly and without rushing.  Financially there is a definite chance for the Horse to increase his earnings over the year and he should make every effort to manage his money carefully. 



The Year of the Rabbit starts off brilliantly for those Goats seeking employment or wanting a career change. By networking and keeping his ear to the ground, some exciting possibilities will come up. March, April and September are well-starred for work advancement and positive changes. 2011 will be much more upbeat, positive and happy. There will be many chances over the year to make new friends and attend social outings – just what the Goat needs. The Goat must look after his own health this year, ensuring that he is getting enough rest and relaxation. It’s going to be a busy year, in the nicest possible way, but it could also be a bit draining on his vitality. Financially, things are looking much brighter than in previous years.





The Chinese Rabbit Year will offer some brilliant promotion opportunities and by being proactive and alert, the Monkey will reap the benefits. For those seeking work, attention to detail when applying for jobs will open up significant windows of. For single Monkeys, there should be quite a few opportunities to meet someone special through outings with friends or at work. The Chinese Year of the Rabbit would be an auspicious year for him to follow up on self improvement ideas he may have been considering for awhile. A fresh look at his fitness routine, diet and how he unwinds, could do him the world of good. 2011 will be the year for the Monkey to move forward, leaving any disappointments and regrets behind. It can be a most satisfying and enjoyable year for him.



 


On the work front, it will be vital for the Rooster to work closely with his colleagues and practice his networking skills. All the work he does now on the career front will pay dividends in 2012, the Chinese Year of the Dragon. The Rooster should also consider any opportunities he may have to study or for training. This would go extremely well for him and again benefit him greatly later on in the year. A word of warning though – the Rooster must take care to temper his words with friends and not be too harsh.Financially, the Rooster may have a few home-related expenses this year with repairs, decorating and renovations. It would be wise to manage any project sensibly and shop around for the best deal; Chinese Rabbit years can be expensive for all signs.



The main emphasis will be on their personal life. If attached, the Dog will find their relationship grow and become much more meaningful on all levels. Single Dogs will be particularly lucky in finding someone very special. Career-wise, the Dog will see the jobs expanding or promotional opportunities arising unexpectedly. It is crucial he discusses any worries or ideas with friends and family. Increased confidence and self-respect will garner the respect of work colleagues. Financially, the Dog can look forward to an improvement in his situation. The Dog will have a renewed interest in health, fitness and outdoor pursuits this year, which will greatly benefit his vitality and zest for life. If he can leave the past couple of challenging years behind him, 2011 will be a most gratifying and happy year.


Single Pigs could very well meet a romantic partner through a friend or at a family gathering. The Pig parties hard and works hard and in the Year of the Rabbit he will be bringing in the rewards for all his hard work. For any Pigs who wish to change jobs or who want to climb up the promotional ladder, there will be quite a few opportunities this year to do either. But they must act quickly, ensuring they have made all the right enquiries and connections. The Pig will be feeling good in 2011 and would like all manner of wonderful things to happen – all at once! He must learn to pace himself and go along with the more leisurely speed of the Rabbit year. Otherwise, he may burn himself out. Overall, 2011 will be a progressive and enjoyable time for all Pigs.


So, that's all for now. be sure to check in tomorrow for an impromptu singing by one of Malaysia's best talents!

Will Rabbits Be Your Lucky Charm?

Happy Chinese New Year! It's out with the tiger and in with the year of the rabbit. How was your celebration so far? Did you have a fantastic reunion dinner with your family members? I sure did. And macha, you only have 11 days left for you to stuff your faced with cookies and dried meat before the Chap Goh Meh festival.



 So, have you found out if the year of rabbit will be "ong" for you? If you haven't no scared, I did a little research online to fid out how this year will treat you.


Let's start with people born in the year of the Rat.



The Rat must try to be patient and remain content with steady progress throughout 2011. Work will again be highlighted but this time the Rat’s experience and knowledge will be called upon. On the love and romance side of life, there could be cause for celebration during the year in the form of an engagement, wedding or birth. Health wise, the Rat will have felt burnt out sometimes during 2010 and in 2011 his vitality will be improved.


 


Next up, is the Ox.



The Chinese Year of the Rabbit will be encouraging for the Ox. For those who wish to change their career or at least change the direction of it and will bring exciting offers and progress. Romance is highlighted in a very special way this year, with unattached Oxen finding themselves in exactly the right place at the right time to meet someone very special. For those in a relationship, this will strengthen and grow. Rest and relaxation will be vital for all Oxen during the Year of the Rabbit.

Then, this one is for the tigers out there.



The Year of the Rabbit will be another positive year for them. Romantic matters are particularly to the forefront, with many born under this sign deciding to get married or to take the relationship to the next level. Single Tigers will have many chances to meet a partner. If they have faced recent personal trials and tribulations, 2011 will prove to be a much brighter year. Financially, the Tiger will most likely see an increase in income, either due to a pay rise or an unexpected windfall. This will be an exciting rather than overly stressful development and Tigers should thrive in their new environment.

Rabbit, here's some info for you.



This will be a stunning and most favorable year for him, especially in regard to work and career. His ability to interact with others will put him in the lead for any promotions at work. Also, if the Rabbit is considering a completely different career, this is the perfect time to explore his options. Not only will the change energize him but he will feel happier than he has done in some time. Finances during the Rabbit’s own year are buzzing, with his luck running high! He may see a salary increase, receive a gift or make extra money from a hobby or entrepreneurial idea. Single Rabbits could meet their significant other this year and the relationship could move very fast. Those with partners will find their relationship becomes more serious and important. Stress and worry over decisions may drain the Rabbit’s vitality during 2011 and it’s very important he gets enough rest and relaxation.


Many of them will have had changes in their job and the steadier tempo of 2011 will help them to settle in and possibly even go for promotions. The opportunity to retrain or take night classes should be considered seriously. The foundations they now lay will greatly enhance their prospects in 2012 – their own year. Romance is beautifully starred with opportunities to meet new people all through the year. On the whole, this will be a positive and happy year for Dragons. The monetary situation will improve for most and their eye for a bargain will be particularly keen. Travel is also highlighted during the Rabbit year and time spent with friends and loved ones will be especially valued. Hobbies and talents should be pursued and enjoyed as they will provide great pleasure and relaxation during 2011 and could lead to other interesting opportunities.


Next up is for those born in the year of the Snake.



The Chinese Year of the Rabbit will be a much more appealing year to the Snake and he will feel back on track, albeit still busy and full of activity. The focus of 2011 for the Snake will be to make sure he is doing something he likes, something that allows him to express his creativity and talents and something that he excels at. However, he must put in the effort and make his intentions known, or the windows may close again. Financially, things are looking much brighter for the Snake and with planning and saving, this will be an excellent year. Romance and friendship will be superb in 2011 and he will get much enjoyment from social gatherings, especially ones connected with work. A word of warning for all Snakes – there is the possibility of a lapse in judgement or a piece of harmful gossip – this could lead to awkwardness. Tread carefully! Healthwise, Snakes should take care to have a balanced lifestyle or their energy could suffer.


Alrighty dude, that's it for now. Please come back tomorrow and I will reveal more about the other six animal signs. If you can't wait till tomorrow, check this website out. It's the bomb yo.

Even Clowns Love Us.

It's the eve of Chinese New Year's eve! Are you back in your hometown already? Well, if you are, enjoy your holidays! And if you're only driving back within these few days, please drive carefully k? Make sure your car is in good condition and always, always take a rest if you're tired. Most importantly, no speeding. You don't want to kena saman on Chinese New Year plus, there will be no 50% off the summons issued during Ops Sikap. :)


 Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday were one of the busiest days for me. After my Pagi Show last Friday, I had to drive down to Melaka for an event at IT@Hatten at Hatten Square, which is located right opposite Dataran Pahlawan. The ride there was ok for me as I couldn't wait to feast on all the yummy food. There's one thing I forgot. It's Friday and the jam is crazy. In the end, I didn't have time to eat and I had to head straight to Hatten.


Macha, IT@Hatten was awesome! It was the grand opening of this brand new IT Mall and the whole concourse area was filled with products from "Mac City" in conjunction with their "Xperience Week". I was there with Moe and Nadhirah from the Troopers to hand out some awesome Fly FM goodies. Check out the pics below.


 Look at my handsome face on the flyer.




If you're wondering what went on there that day, don't worry macha. Here's a few videos for you to watch.




 


That's all for now! :) Remember to come back tomorrow for more updates.
