Olivia Culpo-Miss USA 2012

Hailed from Rhode Island, the more diminutive of the contestants clinched the title based on both wit and beauty.

Truly blue-blood American, Olivia Culpo deserves the title.

How will she measure against the world on December 19th?

Joy

Beating the Competition

Let us see how it will all pan out.

Will Gabriella Markus Win?

She is so charming.

However, the field even among the Latinos this year is equally fraught with excitement as the competition is keen.

Miss Mexico and Miss Argentina are hot for the title too.

Anyway, will Miss Brazil win?

Here are some great moments of Gabby!

Moses Lee Almost Missed the Wedding Dinner

Camaraderie

He came late because he forgot.

He was in Puchong having a great session of mahjong.

When I phoned him, he was shocked beyond belief.

However, after much cajoling form Derek and Catherine,Moses braved up and came.

I told him," Moses, this is once in a forever."

And he did not disappoint the bride and groom either as well as his god-daughter, Dr. Karen.

The Star of the Night

Here he is in his come-as-you-are attire.

Do You Believe? Would You Believe?

Administering Angels and the Lord?

I also do not believe these are doctored.

In such moments, the Lord and angels do appear.

I got it in the email.

" AN INCREDIBLE PICTURE

The attached is a picture originally forwarded by a
Sister Angeline Lau, RGS in Melaka-Johor Diocese.
Hence I believe it is unlikely to be 'doctored'

Her message:-

"Hi one and all, this is a picture that one of my volunteer whom I
know personally has forwarded........... Click on the attachment.
Happened last month in Sabah. a friend of the deceased took the picture of the fatal accident.

He was shocked to see the Presence.....in the picture."
      
      What a picture. How not to believe
      Do  you see the presence of the spiritual entity at the hour of death? Simply Incredible."

Another Dimension Heralding the After-world

Look at these incredible pictures and appreciate...

And believe!

Two Weddings

It was one week of weddings too many.

Romance

The week saw me attending two weddings.

On Saturday, I attended my nephew William's wedding with Jo An and yesterday that of a close friend's son Daryl Teh with Guat Ai.  Daryl is the only son of Derek and Catherine, my varsity mates

For William's I had to attend the tea-drinking ceremony with Brother Gee Tan and sis-in-law at Putra Heights and well as partake the lunch buffet.

While the first occasion dinner went Italian with a band and singer providing entertainment, the latter was just a usual Chinese affair without much fun fare and the normal yumsengs.

Food for both occasion did not live up to expectations though the ambiance at Caio in Kampong Pandan for William's do was splendid with fountains, dancing and all. Daryl's do at Grand Dorsett was more stately.

Relatives sang to the band and they even invited a international competition singer to sing Whitney Houston's  classic, " I will Always Love You" at William's do.

A Milestone Event

The Skpe video relay from Holland transporting images of Robert, William's brother  and Grace and baby K Jim to wish the weeding couple al lthe best was a delightful departure from most weddings.

Well, I hope there would not be too many weddings in the near future because it drains one financially.

Astro-Barely There

Sad Loser

Astro is a counter that failed the litmus test of a good viable counter for an IPO.

It was shot dead on listing.

Except for a lot of  200,000 units traded in the early moments of trading, the morning session trading for Astro is definitively retail-driven and none in a hurry to collect the stocks.

There seems to be no strength in the moving up for this counter though it hesitatingly moved up by 3 sen to RM 2.90 after scaling RM 2.92 at a certain short stretch.

If it moved up too fast, sellers will come out of the wood-work. The most fearsome will be day-traders who will move the price up to sell and then push it down to buy to cancel out trading positions of the day.

So for those intending to get into Astro, expect no surprises but organic growth in price in the short term until huge volume indicators come  onto the radar.

Bad IPO Offering

We will await how the afternoon session fare.
