Autographed election poster of Tony Pua Kiam Wee 2008

Hi grandchildren,

Grandpa helped in the 12th Malaysia General Election on March 8, 2008 which was a historical event because it was the very first time that the corrupt UMNO/BN lost its two-third majority in the Parliament. Not only that, Pakatan Rakyat (DAP, PKR, PAS) won 5 states and formed the state government of Selangor, Penang, Perak, Kedah & Kelantan.

Tony Puan Kiam Wee of DAP won in PJ Utara Constituency and thus became a YB (Yang Berhormat, Member of Parliament) and grandpa was wondering what to do with an autographed election poster. Grandpa was proud to have helped in the historical event and thus decided to frame it up.

However, your mothers, aunts and uncles wouldn't let grandpa hang it in the living room. So grandpa is uploading it to this blog. Perhaps grandpa should hang it in his own room?

Grandchildren, here are photos of your ancestors right down to your great-great-grandma:

Life Insurance Cost and online quotes

If you have a family which depends on you for their sustenance and well being, it is important for you to purchase a life insurance policy so that if anything should happen to you, there will be a sum of money to pay for whatever is needed for them to carry on with their life.

However, before you settle on what insurance policy or insurance company you pick, it is good to first understand what factors influences the costs

What is discussed above is life insurance for your parents for which the life insurance premium to cover their life and thus because of their age will be higher that if the life insurance premium is calculated on your tender ages. Thus some people recommend purchasing life insurance policies based on the life of infants as well as then the premium is at the lowest and can extend beyond their teenage and young adult stages.

Tower Crane constructed with LEGO building bricks


It is amazing what one can do with LEGO building blocks with creativity and imagination. Below is a photo of what can pass off as a tower crane that one often see at construction sites with that short rotatable "gate" representing the arm of the tower crane, one just need some imagination to extend its length and it will be hauling construction stuff like steel rebars, bricks, etc. up to construct a tall building.

The purpose of uploading the above photo with an invited Blogger/Google account (X) different from the one normally used for this blog is to demonstrate that with team blogs, the photo will stay intact (not be deleted) even if the account "X" used to upload the photo even if "X" is removed (deleted) as a team blogger for this blog as long as one does not delete that "X" Google and/or Blogger account.

So if you still can see that photo of the "tower crane" above, that means we have proved that to be true.

Update: Below was the message prior to confirming the removal of "X" as author/team member of this blog:

(If you remove this person, their previous posts (and uploaded photos) will still appear on the blog, but they will not be able to make new posts. This blog will no longer appear on their Dashboard or in their profile.)

warning message prior to Blogger deleting photo

Sidenote: This post is to demonstrate to one of Grandpa's reader question over at How to change email address for Blogger login: Kristin: "Clarification to my question...if I remove my original email/identity in Blogger as an author will I lose my images and posts that I uploaded with that identity? I will still be using this email address and identity for other things just not my blog so the gmail account associated with that original profile will not be deleted/disabled but it would be disassociated from that blog."

World's first ever birthday pizza cake


Introducing the world's first ever birthday pizza cake, a new innovation:

world's first pizza birthday cake

And here is grandpa blowing the candles with grandchildren assisting:

grandpa blowing candles for pizza birthday cake

And what are the reason for this new innovation? The common birthday cake contains lots of fattening cream, sugar and trans fat and not too healthy. The pizza with no cream and no sugar is a much healthier alternative. Thus this was grandpa's choice, a healthier pizza birthday cake.
