Last night, I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks for the second time. The movie was that good and entertaining. Alvin is the cheeky chipmunk, while Simon is the smart one with spectacles and Theodore is the small plump chipmunks who keeps having nightmares. Dave Seville (Jason Lee) was a down-on-his-luck musician who just needed that special something to make his songs sell. That’s when three talking chipmunks, Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney), ended up raiding his home. Their rise to stardom is seen in “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”

The computer graphics were superb as animators blend them with humans. The facial expressions of fear tell all especially the three chipmunks had to sing to Uncle Ian for the first time. This movie shows a father figure in Dave and money-making practical businessman in Uncle Ian who make use of the talking chipmunks to generate more cash from singing tours. Dave have had enough when he saw on TV how the poor chipmunks are so tired and exhausted from so much singing shows all over USA. This is a must see movie for all, not only the kids.

Just last week, I watched bee movie with my friend in Queensbay Mall. It was a movie most suitable for kids. The chrome yellow and black stripes of bees certainly attract attention. From creator Jerry Seinfeld come “Bee Movie,” a comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Take a close look at the world through the eyes of one bee in particular - Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other workers in New Hive City - a job at Honex… making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meet a quirky florist named Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom - he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of the human race.

Just watch the video above of a funny elephant massage on the lying man’s private parts. The elephants are revered animals in Thailand and have been trained to paint trees and flowers, carry tourists on their backs, do a bicycle ride, play soccer, play basketball, bowling and almost just anything that humans can do. Here is a recorded video in Nong Nooch Tropical Garden from my trip to Pattaya recently.

Below is a funny story that I received in my email from a Malaysian friend working in Brazil currently. Just read the following. It will tickle your toes.

An old Greek man lived alone in Marrickville. He wanted to dig his
tomato garden, but it was hard work for his advanced years as the
ground was very hard.

His only son, Spiro, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Spiro,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant
my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a
garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Papa,
Don’t dig up the garden. That’s where I buried the bodies.
Love Spiro

At 4 A.M. the next morning, Federal agents and NSW Police arrived and
dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to
the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under
the circumstances.
Love Spiro
