Need to shop for fresh brains? Just get from Pixelite (a design agency based in Shanghai and Singapore). Poly-wrapped and sealed with the company sticker, this is a very unique and creative corporate namecard by Johnny. Don’t worry, the brains are tightly sealed and it won’t leak. No expiry date on the packaging…100% fresh always.

LEGO is today’s the world’s 4th largest toy manufacturer. Founded by Ole Kirk Kristiansen in 1932, the company has created an iconic toy that lasted many generations. The Lego toys have been passed from my dad to me and now to my son. Just like us, LEGO is in its 3rd generation. Today, it is managed by the grandson of the founder. The name ‘LEGO’ is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”. In Latin, Lego means “I assemble”.
All thanks to my wife who sent me a text message 1,600miles away, asking me to go to this free exhibition. “Around the World in Lego Cities” attracted thousands of shoppers and shutter-bugs like me! 17 iconic buildings (built using 3 million lego bricks), 2000 characters and a heritage wall. This is one of the most successful events ever held at City Plaza at Tai Koo Shing.

Tired of being a slave to your expensive pigeon hole? There is another retirement plan you can aim for. Trade off your small HDB Flat and be the king of your own island instead. For the same price (USD700K) of a 140sqm 5-room flat in Marine Parade, you can exchange it for a 1.25 acres paradise (above photo) out there in the Caribbean. Yes – all yours under a million sing dollars – freehold and you get to name your island / roads / beaches / trees etc! Think about all the possibilities!
Check out some of these sales here at http://www.privateislandsonline.com. Some of these islands are priced as low as USD30,000! (Of course, you won’t want to spend your holidays or retirement out there with the piranhas in the Amazon River!) If you are lucky, you may bump into a “chance-of-a-lifetime” sale. 
In 2009, after a failed romance, a 48-year old island owner in Brazil sold his white-sand-crystal-clear water idyllic “love island” (See Photo Left) for only USD12,500! He was blaming the island for his bad luck and lost love – and he just wanted to get rid of it at a cheap price. What a pity to sell that beautiful island for such a low price. All he need is a Fengshui Master to give him some tips to improve his luck.

Thanks to my impulse bidding for the World’s largest Rugby Ball – I was the top 2 online bidder. Cathay Pacific rewarded me with 2 Three-Day Tickets to the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens Finals. I gave the tickets to my boss (A big tick for one of my KPIs for 2011) and Tracy & Jean. It was such a shame that I couldn’t go to watch the finals on Sunday as I was away in Vietnam for a conference. The girls had so much fun with the hot hunks at the stadium.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
It was a drizzling wet day, but it hasn’t dampened the mood of thousands of Rugby Seven’s fans! Crowds were cheering and fans were singing, which made the day not as gloomy as what the sky is. The atmosphere was just bizarre, people sing, cheer and game after game adds on further tension to the finals.
While Japan and Canada was competing for the Bowl Champion, we were cheering loud for Japan. However Canada was a stronger opponent to defeat, leaving the score at 05:19. Not forgetting Japan’s quake tragedy, the commentator also requested for a min of solemnness in the stadium for the victims in Japan. The spirit of Japan remained strong and high despite the lost in the game, God bless them!
Finally, it was England vs New Zealand in the finals! Unknowingly, the section we were at, were huge England supporters. We were asked if we were England fans too, of course we said we were! And they even gave us 2 good seats, since we were standing. The crowd went crazy whenever England gets the ball.
New Zealand wasn’t that bad either, they lead most of the game making the UK supporters pretty upset, they stopped cheering and my Brit neighbors even fell asleep! I guess they were just pretty disappointed after 10min into the game. England’s score was not close enough to its opponent and New Zealand made throughout the fierce battle. Ending the game at a good 29:17.
It was still a great event after all, unlike soccer; rugby seven is a fast paced and exciting game.
