Got Broom? Lakers 2013.

I don't think it's a surprise for anyone if you have been following the NBA. Lakers got swept. 

That's an image I made for Lakers being sweep during 2011, didn't imagine that I will be using it again so damn quickly. 

The season started with the good news of having Howard, Nash and the Lakers believe that it is going to be a great year. Someone even believe that we can go for Bulls 72-10 best record and make a 73-9. Really? 

It has been a bad, bad season for the Lakers. With Kobe out, Nash, Blake, Meeks all out. So basically we were left with nothing but a D League team. 

You know shit is has got serious when your D league call back at season end is the top scorer. 

How did we end up like this? We have got everything? And we have got Howard! He ain't injured, so what happened? He got ejected because he was so frustrated. 

Is it me or is this whole big man ejected thing too familiar? 

Despite the injuries, Kobe Bryant was at the Staple with his broom for the team. 

If you are sharp enough, you will notice it is the same broom.

And some of my favorite tweets during the game:

Really, I feel like Kobe sacrifice his body for nothing. To set the record straight, I am not a hater. I am a fan. A very frustrated Lakers fan, a very frustrated Kobe fan, especially with all those talks about not appreciating Kobe when they won some games without Kobe.

Let's set 2014 right:

- Kobe Bryant's Health

- A Better Bench

- Keep Howard (Not like I like him but at least we don't want him to walk away for nothing.)

- Healthy Nash

- FIRE MIKE D

And a very funny comment about what should be done with drama Howard:

"It would be cool if all teams colluded to not sign Dwight, until the Bobcats offered him a 10 day contract, at the end of which they would offer him a spot in a D-league team Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy."

As for now, let's go fishing. 

Mr.Smith, me ain't no band wagon fan. Bleed purple and gold. Let's keep going!

Every man needs a woman in his life - An Iron Man 3 Review.

What is one of the most important thing about a man being really "successful" in life? It is about having a special someone you can love and share your success (and pain.)

So in the latest Iron Man 3 - the most highly anticipated part of the show for me was actually Gwyneth Paltrow's role - Pepper wearing the Iron Man suit.



Sorry if you didn't know and I did a spoiler and spoil the fun but guess what? I have yet to watch the show myself too!

Coolest and Sexiest Movie couple EVER.

As much as I wished to be at the launch party myself, I was caught up with super hero duties to protect the country.( aka reservist.)

Like I mentioned earlier, every men need a woman in his life but in my case, I'm luckier as I always have awesome female friends' support and this time round guest blogging for me is the awesome colleague - @EuniqYou

We are commonly(or rather only between us) known as kambing duos because.. oh nvm.

Iron Man 3 Review -
By Eun Tan

Spoilers aside, the latest installation of Iron Man is a must watch. It compresses the elements of awesome suits, action, excitement, humour and a bit of love. This show definitely kept me sitting at the edge throughout, though there were moments where I told myself not to worry because its too soon for Iron Man to die or be defeated in the first 45 minutes of the screening.

I would admit that I am your typical girl who just adores Robert Downey Jr (and his suits, sexiness and sophistication) and thus is thrilled to be invited to yesterday's Iron Man 3 movie premiere. Which also means, I have NO CLUE what was illustrated on the comic book. Yes, I went with my ditzy and infatuated mind.

Iron Man 3 was action-packed but without suits on. Super hero fantasy but with current affairs. Humourous but at times unexpected. Egoistic with a touch of softness and love.

Iron Man 3 Preview -
By Smith Leong

Since I have yet to watch it, all I can say is that:

Gwyneth Paltrow is freaking hot at her age.

RDJ is too freaking hot at his age.

But I have a question; where are these guys when Stark got his ass kicked?

Can't wait to watch that show myself!

Mr.Smith, that is the problem when you privatize world peace? Nobody wanna help you!

Oh.. Kinda regret that speech now.

Kobe VS Shaq

 The reason why the dynasty were over for these two guys - comparison and ego.  Regardless of how much they love or hate each other back than or now, Shaq's career as a player is way over and he got his Lakers Jersey hang and Kobe is pretty much very injured as of now. So it could be or could not be the end of his career with the Lakers as well.

Take a look at these two recent inforgraphics done by Lakers.com recently.

Mr.Smith, bleed gold and purple.

#MusicMonday - Nicole aka uuuuuuuukewithme

Payphone was like my song of 2012 and that's when I found this cute little girl and her ukelele.



Although I'm shallow at times and all about looks but I swear when it comes to Nicole it's not just about the looks.

It's way too early for 2013 X'mas and too late to celebrate 2012's again but I'm sharing this.



This has to be my favorite song of hers.

The only thing about lil Nicole is that she is not feeding me with enough songs!

Here's her channel if you are interested.

NBA Regular Season 12/13

 So our NBA regular season 2012/2013 is now officially over. In hind sight,

1. Our highly anticipated Lakers did not get their 73-9 record like our Artest MWP predicted.

2. Wolves with a decent start did not get into the playoffs and Love was out most of the season. 

3. Bynum did not play the whole season and had a ridiculous hair.

4. Despite Rondo's injury, Celtics got into the Playoffs with the oldies.

5. Wizards had a pretty good season (as compared to their previous seasons) since the return of wall

6. Portland got a good draft - Damian Lillard but still did not make it to the playoffs.

7. Dallas Shave-only-above-500 "movement" was pretty interesting.

8. Kobe's injury is still one of the most scary moment for the season.

9. Derrick Rose is still not back.

10. Fine, Miami got a really good season of 66-16 and a 27 games streak.

 Anyway here are some of the interesting numbers off the regular season report book.

Regardless of how badly Lakers did this season, I am saying this: 
Talking about purple and gold and how Kobe sacrifice his body for this season. Look what I found online. An artwork by Jerrell Conner:

Can you name all these Lakers Legend?

GO LAKERS!

Lakers 7th seed in playoffs

WE ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFF BABIES!!

I don't care what the media or Mike D is saying about how the team feels new or better without Kobe but I just want Lakers as a team to go deeper into the playoffs.

Haters gonna hate and I don't see a need for me to fend off. We all know Kobe did his part in bringing the team forward and even sacrificing his own body and that's results. Until Howard gets 5 rings for the team, Howard is just Howard and Kobe is still the 1 of the greatest Lakers ever.




Mr.Smith, GO LAKERS! Beat the shit out of Spurs! For Kobe!

McDonald's New Black Pepper Flamer and Citrus Thai Shaker

We all know how Singaporeans like Spicy food and apparently the fact is not only being recognized by us Singaporean but also by an International chain like McDonald's! 

Do you remember when was the Singapore favorite McSpicy first introduced? McSpicy has been in the market for 10 years! No joke for a local flavour burger to stay on the menu all these years. We all remember "promotional"/"Seasonal" burgers like Kampong burger, samurai burger and even my favorite Grill Chicken Foldover that came and go over the years. Yes, I am pretty sure McDonald's guy are going to read this post and I am saying it "I WANT GRILL CHICKEN FOLDOVER BACK!!!" (Please leave a comment if you agree.) 

Anyway, before I get ahead of myself, introducing the new Black Pepper Flamer!! 

Black or Red?

And in conjunction with the launch of this new burger which you can actually find it in store tomorrow, they have this little campaign call "The Spicy Face Off."

They even have a lil skit. That's McSpicy and Black Pepper in person.

 Want to find out more about this campaign? Check out www.spicyfaceoff.com !

The general idea of the spicy faceoff is about finding the better spicy burger!

So which is a better burger?

Yum Yum

"I prefer the black pepper flamer cause it is not as spicy. I could hardly last my way to the last bite with the McSpicy but the pepper flamer is just nice for me. And the peppery taste compliment the chicken pretty well." - Chris Goh, Student 18.  :x

As for me, I still prefer the McSpicy. I like it spicy, juicy and crispy!

Her pepper (f)lamer

My 10years lover - McSpicy.

The only way to find out your "own cup of spice" is to head down to any McDonald's tomorrow or maybe even just do a McDelivery. I am pretty sure you still prefer the McSpicy like I do. :p

Although we can't agree on our favorite cup of spice, there is one thing that we both agreed on.(Which is very very seldom.)

The Citrus Thai Shaker!

This is LEGEN.. wait for it.... DARY!! 

I'm a crazy fan of the seaweed shaker fries and I am sure many of you are too, but I wouldn't say the same for the rest of the shaker fries like cheese, cinnamon, wasabi and what not but I have to say this, THIS IS AROI MAK MAK! (Please correct me if I'm wrong cause I took the word off the internet.) This is very nice! It is like Tom Yam Soup + Fries.

 I am pretty sure I will eat a lot more of this. Carbs Carbs Carbs. :( Go try it tomorrow and let me know how you like it?

Mr.Smith, SAWADEEE CUP!!! A CUP B CUP C CUP!!

Lousy Food Blogger Strikes Again - Nandos Angry Mango.

It is very funny how I talked about me being a lousy food blogger and I have people coming to me and say that they liked how I actually blogged for Danro Japanese Hot Pot which is located at Nex. It's just a silly way of me blogging so I thank those people who read and gave positive feedback.

So back by popular demand(in my own world.) I am doing another blogpost about food and trying to push my limited of finding 890,652,187,312,314 ways to say that the plate of food taste good.

Introducing

Flame-Grilled Chicken and Mango with its all new Fiery Angry Mango Meals.

To put it in very simple terms, instead of your typical tartar sauce or mayonnaise or what not sauce going into the burger, we are now using fresh mangoes as a sauce going with our favorite PERI PERI chicken!

It comes in 3 variation of Burger, Pita and Wrap!

I am totally the burger man and I order the burger without thinking twice.

The wife ordered the Pita version of it. I think the burger version ain't as nice as the pita version as the burger(bread) is really thick and the mango taste was a lost in the thick bread where else the mango taste was actually very nice and strong in the pita version of it. Wife 1 - Smith 0.

The mange taste was very refreshing and it didn't taste artificial at all. You know how mango syrup taste different from fresh mango? That's not happening in this. And to my surprise, the very thick and intimidating looking piece of chicken in the burger weren't at all tough. Although it looks really tough, it was actually pretty tender and yummy.

Each "Angry Meal" is only $14.90 at all Nando's restaurant and it comes with 2 side dishes.

As usual, i find Nando's meal very value of money and the best part is that there is always a Nando's around you.

My Office Darling angry i never bring her go eat the angry meal. uh-oh.

Mr.Smith, don't angry hor. Next time bring you go.

#MusicMonday - PSY - Gentlemen.

So after long anticipation; PSY, the man behind 2012 hottest song - Gangnam Style is back with his new track - gentlemen.



The question everyone had in mind, how is he ever going to top himself and gangnam style? Or is it even possible? Here is the answer to it. I believe I read an article somewhere that he knew that it's almost impossible to top himself. So what do you think?

Do you see the shadow or Gangnam style? Do you think he tried too hard to beat himself? Or is it just his style?

I actually have no idea how come Gangnam style was so popular but I guess it was pretty catchy.

I believe he was working under some pressure considering that fact how well Gangnam style well. Anyway I don't think beating himself should be an aim for him. I don't see us making Jackie beat "吻别" or asking Andy to beat “如果你是我的传说”。 Cut him some slack I guess.

Anyway, in case you prefer Gangnam style. here is the...

no.. I'm not putting the link. It's seriously over played. 

Mr.Smith, I am a gentlemen!

Pray For Kobe. And follow him on Instagram.

Los Angeles - The night that every heart stopped for a sec. A night not to be forgotten by any LA fan. A night that every LA fan's heart crushed.

At a time that Lakers needed him the most. Kobe Bryant got himself injured.

2013 WAS suppose to be the year of LA Lakers when they made not 1 but 2 big trades over the off season acquiring two of the best player in their position - Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Metta World Peace even predicted that they will not just a good season but a season that will go down the books beating Chicago Bull's record of 72 - 10. And it did not happen.

Not only were the team fighting against injuries through the whole season, they were fighting against their very own coach who is very much a potato.

He refuses to change his game for the players, he let Kobe does what he wants, basically he is fucking not doing his job. It is because of his lack of leadership and solution, Kobe has to play 47,48 mins per game just to bring the team to playoffs. I'm saying it, it is his fault that Kobe over played and the fatigue got him.

Some people comment that Kobe is selfish. Kobe is childish. He wants the fame and glory and he is not sharing the duty. He is doing the "Kobe" is the hero thing. In fact just 1 game ago, his teammates were not too happy with him.

"Because, I think it's spectacular and it's very impressive and it's remarkable to be able to play 48 minutes and score 47 points. That's incredible. On the other hand, I'm a player that likes to see a little bit more ball movement and better balance. I've always been [like that]. That's just how I perceive this game. " - Pau Gasol. (Read full article here.)

In Kobe's defense, I do agree with what Pau has mentioned. Ball movement, team play is always important. But the question is - Are you guys finishing it? Are you guys doing what you guys are paid to do? I am 35, why am i sacrificing my body and risk it and play 48mins per game? I would like to be a starter, play 24mins per game and score a good double digit 15-18 points and throw a few dimes. Sit on the bench and smile and have a trip to finals and get my 6th ring. Am I getting this luxury? No. It is when shit like this happens, as a leader, as a person who want's the win, I have to step up my game and take the responsibility all by myself. This is professionalism. Do I have All-star caliber teammates? Yes. Are they playing like All-star players? No. Do I have a good coach? I had a good coach. (And I don't mean Mike Brown.) 

The man himself is angry, this is from Kobe's facebook.

"This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that?? 
I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that
was. Maybe this is how my book
ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.
Mamba Out"

Injuries is one of the greatest fear of sportsmen, even for people like us, non professional basketballer. Knowing that we can't run on court, knowing that we are not going to score that basket anyhow kills us. Every single bit of us. What more, he is currently(slightly more than 30hrs ago.) the best player on earth in the league. 

So now with Kobe off the court. Can the Lakers get into the playoffs with the last few important games left? Can they go into 2nd stage or even WCF? Why not? If the rest of the players are who they think they are and have the motivation to play better because their leader has sacrificed his body for everyone of them. They should. Think about it, these guys were franchise players of their teams before joining Lakers and they were all in the playoffs and now it's not one but 3 franchise players. 

Super Baby.

Canada Biggest Pride in NBA.

Sheldon Cooper. 

Anyway, there is nothing much more we could do other than just pray for him and of course follow him on instagram and twitter. This man just started his instagram in less than 24hrs and he has like 250,000 followers with his only 2 pictures. 

#PrayForKobe.

Hope to see my man Kobe back on the court and health again.

Singapore Idol Breast Implant.

 Not too sure which Singapore Idol were you expecting to be featured on this article but regardless of who you were expecting, you will be disappointed cause we are not talking about "her". We are talking about "him".

You might not remember him so here it is:



He is just one of those that came up on the first two episode but I am sure you can't forget him and his song. In fact, I can't even remember what song did Jonathon Leong sang during the audition. (you do know who Jonathon Leong is right?)

Anyway, our dear "nong nong ago" went to Bangkok Thailand and did a "Best" implant.



No, I didn't have the patience to finish the whole video. I skipped certain frame.

I LOL-ed at the scene when he show his picture of his tits before and after.

SO BEFORE CAN SHOW NIPPLE AND AFTER CANNOT?? DAFUQQQQQQ.....

I seriously think this man is crazy... (no doubt.)

What logic is that? And why would a man want tits since the age of 4? Why need implant?

JUST EAT!

Playbook - The Lighter.

It's Friday and Friday is....

And that means it is time for the Playbook!

When I first wrote this book together with my bro Barney Stinson, we know this is gonna be LEGEN.... wait for it.... it is so good that you gonna keep waiting for this one..

So today I would like to share with you this play call: "The Lighter"

Venue: Coffee Place/Bar/Smoking point.
Things you need: A chick and A BIC Lighter.

Why BIC Lighter?

BIC lighters are known for their safety and quality, and changing their lighter sleeves constantly doesn't make it boring. This coffee series is a limited edition series. This season, they introduced the coffee series for coffee lovers who loves coffee and use lighters for their various household chores. 

This lighter is so pretty when you pull it out to show the ladies and help them light up anything, they will ask question you like "why is your lighter so cute" and that is a good conversation starter and you can end with, "oh, and I really like coffee, what about you? Wanna have a coffee sometime together?" 

SCORE! 

And what's more? Lighters are used for various “fire-lighting” related activities, low cost, low quality unsafe lighters do present a potential hazard to users. BIC lighters are ISO 9994 certified and have also undergone more than 50 stringent quality checks to ensure that 100% of BIC lighters work properly before leaving the factory. Being resistant to breakage or leakage and having a stable and long-lasting flame lowers risk and increases safety for users. BIC lighters are considered the safest disposable lighters in Singapore. This is especially good for people like me who doesn't smoke and still wish to carry it around. It's safer and I can keep it with me for a longer time!

So now you are all sold and can't wait to get one so you can pick up some girls this Friendly Friday? 

Each lighter in this series retails at $1.20 and they are available at 7 - Eleven.

Mr.Smith, BURN BABY BURN~  DARY! (I bet you forgotten that I haven't say that.
