Huat Ah!

What did i just say? :) Huat is the mandarin "Fa1" in Hokkien (correct me if i'm wrong). It means to prosper! Oh yeah, on this tiny island, unless your daddy's filthy rich, or you touch the lottery, it's the only way to get lotsa moolah nowadays.

CNY is just 2 days away! Why couldn't it be on a Monday instead? But this year i'm not really concerned about house visiting and stuff.. my baby's coming anytime soon, so that's my personal 'huat!'. :)

It's gonna be pretty busy, didn't do THAT much spring cleaning this year, but i think whenever possible we try to stick to tradition.

Tomorrow's the annual Reunion dinner or "Tuan2 Yuan2". Few times in the year where the whole family (at least from the boy's side) meet up for a sumptous meal! :g

I just wonder, what comes after CNY? 2 months again, come and gone... Life's too short man. :p

Russia's new T-50 Fighter

Very ace combat design yeah? Read the full story here and watch the video here.

"Well, three days ago, the AFP and other international news sources reported that the Russians have just test-flown their latest 5th-Gen, low-observable/stealth fighter aircraft, the Sukhoi PAK FA (Prospective Aviation System of Frontline Aviation) prototype, called the T-50, for 47 minutes. Under development since the 1990s, the PAK-FA/T-50 is billed by the Russians as matching up well against the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. “It’s going to be no worse than an F-22. I’ve been in an F-22 and I know,” said Anatoly Kornukov, ex-commander of the Russian air force.

Like the F-22, the PAK FA Sukhoi T-50 fighter is capable of supercruise, and should significantly outperform all of our 4th-generation fighters like the F-15, F-16, and F/A-18 series aircraft."
