Team building @ Gurney - Part 2

===================================
Buffet dinner @ Fusion Restaurant Gurney Hotel
===================================
Well here comes the last but not least part of the team building activity - Dinner time! Actually I can't wait for this after the exhausting treasure hunt.

Getting ready

Some of the decoration on the wall, nothing special though...

Buffet was at the Fusion Restaurant at Gurney Hotel. The place wasn't too big, we've managed to fill in about 1/3 of the entire place. Reached around 6:15pm and the place officially start serving at 6:30pm. Gotten our tables and seats, drop our bags and then we're off to for the food!

The tiny dishes inside the restaurant

Another shot at the food.. a lot of salad dishes

The desserts

Fresh Prawns

Mandy, the soup serving girl... haha, serving with a smile =D, good customer service!

Sifu preparing some sashimi and sushis...yummy! salmon! attack! them.. i mean...

I ate only 3 rounds of main courses and 1 round of mini desert dish if not mistaken. Actually I was really very exhausted from all the running around the mall (yeah I know I was stressing the word exhausted.. but I was.. haha)

There are other main dishes such as cawamushi,  grill lamb, satays, etc outside

The food here was okay, nothing too fancy as with the fee.. around RM60 over with 10 - 15% discount and not to mention free flow of wine/ beer/ soft drinks and fruit juice. Speaking of which I wanna tell u all bout this...

We're lining up at the mini bar just outside the main entrance, this bar tender guy stationed at the podium... and asked each of us what we would like to have. A few asked for wine, so he reached for the wine bottle... poured them a few cup. Next came the order for beer, one of them was me... okay, Skol bear was served for us. Last came the funny part... 1 dude ordered orange juice if I was not mistaken... that guy took out 1 plastic container which shaped like those gas container..... or the one we use to keep the pesticide... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.. I was holding on to myself... almost broke out the laughter on the spot. omg.... how could they do this... hahahahhahahah... oh wow.. that was classic! XD , after I have my glass of beer I went inside and told them what I've witness.

Our big boss giving some speech

Debbie going thru the questions

Then came the result announcement for the treasure hunt.... Debbie went thru each of the question's answer with us... 1 by 1... I listend carefully.... so far no mistakes yet, as my team was the last team to arrived... we can only win if anyone before us scores lower than us. And when Debbie said .. and the winner is..... my team!!!.... wow.. I spranged up and smiled and reached for hi-5s with my other team mates!!! wOOOO~~~ Hoooo~~!!! We've won!!!!... wow.. that was MOST satisfying.... it's worth all the effort of running here and there and cracking our heads... The important point was not the prize... but the 'recognition' of winning the game and of cos we had fun! hahahahhaha, other team came very very close to us.... had they got all correct or we missed out the very last answer to the S&J shop... we would have lost.... and lost badly.. since that team submitted their result first! first among all the teams... wow... Received our prize from the big boss and then went back to our drinks.

Victory shot #1 !The competitive team!

All in all, a wonderful experienced for me... did I said I broke the beer glass? they thought I was drunk... omg, I got too excited when I described the fruit juice scene for Felicia and my hand swung the glass and it fell down the floor and Piang!!!... it was all over the place.... I was quite embarrased actually.. hahaha.. my bad. Apollogized to the waiter who responded in a jifty and cleaned up the mess.

Thanks again to the committee members and others for making this event possible!

Victory shot # 2! V for Victory! hahahahhaha.. yes! good job team! and great sport from other teams as well...  ; )

Team building @ Gurney - Part 1

Haha, participated in my first ever team building last Friday. The 3 main activities were:-
1) Karaoke session @ Red Box Gurney Plaza with lunch
2) Treasure Hunt
3) Buffet dinner @ Fusion Restaurant Gurney Hotel

======
Karaoke
======

WH selecting some songs b4 we begin

It was quite dark inside with the dim lights..

Well, me and WH are among the first batch of ppl that arrived there the earliest. We booked 2 rooms to accommodate all team members and headed off into 1 of the bigger room. Began singing the famous 'Keng Gor Kam Khok' by Leo Ku as opening song. Feels weird that the room has only me and WH... slowly, one by one others began to show up.
It was nothing special though, I promised Mandy to sing Mandy for her so I 'practiced' for 1 day and did it there. hahahaha, was great fun. First time I've ever sang a song for a girl... (but it was nothing.. dun get me wrong.. =_=!) Next, after I've finished singing... I looked at my plate of lunch as they were already being served.. it was the salmon dish. According to Mandy, the salmon here tasted like salt fish --> O.o omg... I was aiming for the sweet and sour drum stick and I'm sure it was in front of me... after 1 song, it was gone.. LOL. oh well, actually quite frankly and honestly and without a bias... it does tasted like salt fish.. LOL.. a bit salty for my taste but still manageable. Later on, we continued to sing and WH set me up to sing with our Director Ms. Tan... in a classic song by Teresa Teng. =_=! thanks WH... LOL... not really into classic mandarin songs.

===========
Treasure Hunt
===========

Gathering of team members

All gearing up for the event

One of the organizer - Debbie briefted us bout the rules n regulations

Yay, now for the main event!!! Actually I was quite excited as it has been quiiiiiiite a while since I last participated in treasure hunt. So get to do it this time thanks to the organizers. All of us gathered at the seaside entrance for briefing. We were divided into 7 teams of 3 people per group. My team consisted of me, YS and Felicia. haha, all 3 of us knew each other all these while so there's no need for any introduction whereas other team members will be mixed with others whom they didn't normally talk to b4 in the office.

I've jotted down some notes regarding the rules on my palm

I was tasked to be the team lead this round which I'm more than glad to handle. Team leaders got briefed bout some rules of the competition.
1) total of 20 over questions with 1 point for each correct answers
2) time given is around 2 hours
3) must search for the same clues and answer together, no splitting up to complete each individual question
4) act normal as not to create a big buzz over this event... low profile. :)

Yay, after some discussion, as there's still 15mins or so till the event kicks off, we've headed over to the information counter and I grabbed 3 copies of the floor directory booklets. At 3:30pm, we received our question on a paper and a pen and then we're off. First question related to the sign board near the wishing well at the front of the sea side entrance.

We ran throughout the entire event with me leading the rest of the pack as they said I have longer legs, oh well... There's 1 question which its clue is to search for a place name in 2 words and there's a Japanese translation for the words as well. Seeing that either one of us knew Japanese that well, we decided to keep it on hold first. There's even 1 question which requires us to buy a snack + juice that is within RM3 budget. Naturally my first thought would be heading to the small stall at LG beside Cold Storage as I believe the price must be cheaper than Cold Storage. Grabbed a pineapple juice + 1 bag of peanut snake and asked the boss to give us a simple receipt for proof.

1 question had us search for the monopoly game price of Harrison Ford's latest movie and take a picture of a crocodile with your team members. We headed to Toys'R'Us store and I searched for the boardgame of Indiana Jones meanwhile YS and Felicia grabbed a softtoy croc and took a photo of us in it. Later on I found out that other team even went to the Crocs shoe store and snapped their picture there too. hahahahhaa, never thought of that.

1 question asked us to look for the ingredient from a Thai cook book and the page number has to be calculated in a series of mathematic equations. hahahahha, we've searched high and low in MPH seeing that it was an english title and after a while I gave up and asked the information counter girl to help me look for it in their database to no avail.. okay, time to give up, thanking her we headed over to Popular bookstore. There we searched high and low for it but failed also, Felicia went over to ask one of the helpful personnel there and they knew what we're looking for cos other team has been here already, it was a small cookbook! hahahah... hiding among the shelves. We grabbed the book, headed to the other corner, ducked down so no other team member would see us...and copied the recipie and we're off again! starting to feel like we're in some sort of Amazing Race. XD

1 question asked us how much is the price of a certain brand coffee maker from the Anchor Tenant. How foolish of me to look for the name Anchor Tenant... later on, cos YS who kept the receipt of the snacks lost it and suggest we go back to the shop and request a new one which the boss gladly gave us again.. thanks! and I took the liberty of asking him to see if he has any idea which shop is Anchor Tenant.. and he explained to us that Anchor Tenant was the major tenant that occupied this place. E.g. Parkson, Cold Storage, etc. As soon as I've realized this, straight away we headed for Parkson and there it was, the coffee maker! hahahhahaha...

1 more question was related to the month of the opening of the new wing of Gurney Plaza, sensing that I've saw the sign somewhere outside the building b4, we headed outside. We ran out side but saw nothing but the building itself. So we've asked numerous people, each of us gave us a different month... so I had to make a phone call to get the date... which is November this year. hahahaha, after the game I asked other team where they got their answer and it was on a sign board downstairs at one of the gates which we never pass by before. LOL..

There's 1 question which sounded like this -> What is the color of the shop "...". I was like, color? shop? ... ? what shop??? Initially we thought this question pointed to the above question which was where we got our monopoly game from -> Toys'R'Us, so we just jotted down the color there first. Later on, a quick check with the information counter revealed that there's indeed a shop named "...". It was just beside MPH bookstore which we have failed to notice.. the name was 3dots. =_=! hahahhaha, our weakness, we're too focus on current objectives and failed to take note of our surroundings.

About the place which has Japanese translation.. we went to the extend of opening up notebook in hope to connect to an available WiFi and google up the word meaning... LOL... actually, one of the question required us to search for a recipie in a cook book, other team used this opportunity to grab a Japanese to English dictionary and translated the words to get the name - Winter Warmer! hahahahhahahaa.... oh my, what was I thinking.. relying on technology too much!

The dreaded poster question.. anyone of u knew that this was from S&J's?

All in all, we had all the answers except 1 last one which requires us to search for a shop with a certain poster. We almost gave up as we didn't really came across any of it and right on the very last few minutes we decided to give it a last go by running up to the 3rd floor and there it is... S&J gift shop! hahahahhaha...

When we turn our answer in during the last minute in Winter Warmers, it seemed like we're the last team to arrive.. swt. According to the rules, which ever team has the most correct question wins, but if 2 or more team has the same amount of points it will ahve to come down to the time. Earliest team will win, seeing that my team was the last we'll have to aim for the accuracy of our answers. hahahahhaha, a quick check with some other team members boosted my confidence, they made some mistakes which we never did.

Initially we've wrote down on the side of the question the floor number in which we would take on the questions from LG all the way to the top but after a while all seemed to be in chaos as we're running here and there looking for clues. hahahahhahahhaa and ran we did. Felicia and I had agreed to each other that we wanted to win this game... 2nd place was not an option.. so we've played it quite seriously and of course it was fun too...

We took a break inside Winter Warmer And I was very very very exhausted after a long tiring game.. hahahahahha

well, stay tuned for the 2nd part of this event later on in a seperate post.

Ugly Jam

Just now was preparing to go home at 6:10pm. There was an usually long queue at the route I normally take, so I turned to the other one... in which would turn out to be the worse decision ever...

The route that normally takes around 10 - 15mins to pass costs me 1hour and 10mins to pass... I was really curious on what went wrong that caused the jam, I thought there must be an accident cos today's not Friday and there shouldn't be such heavy jam.

I listen patiently on the radio during the trip hoping the DJ would receive any news about the jam but to no avail... but the 2 DJs at 9.88fm are rather entertaining with their nonsense jokes and laughter. something for me to really unwind and dun take it too seriously after a long day at work.

As soon as I reached the source of the jam... guess what it is? some tractor parked at the junction at the road and stopped there, there was a hole in the ground where I can see some pipes. And the workers just stood there, doing nothing... probably it's drizzling at the moment so they stopped... that caused the right lane cars needed to be shifted to left lane and thus... the jam. After that was very very smooth, I carefully took out my phone and text the situation and advice and sent to the radio show.... later on as I've reached my house I heard the DJ read out 'KitKeat' said that there's a jam... hahahahahha, it feels nice... the message itself costs RM0.50 but the feeling that I hope be able to divert some traffic off the road to other alternative routes or at least let curious drivers who're stuck on the same route have some idea on what's going on...

Feels good... and yes, I kinda like the nonsense laughter show... hahahahhaa... the DJ asked a question, what's the alternative name for cockroach? 1) Water Grasshopper (or something like that), 2) stupid insect, 3) living fossil or 4) Wu Zhou (dirty) Teong... hahahahahhaha.. the last one's quite funny. Of cos those of you who are 'knowledgeable' would know the correct answer is 3. Roaches... like it or not have been long on our planet and rumoured to exists the same time as the dinasours and outlived all of them too and thus earning them the nickname - Living fossil...

P/S: I hate roaches

Kim Gary card

The shinny black card

Well well well... look what showed up in the mail box - the Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant membership card. I forgot when was the time I applied it, was with my parents dining in the restaurant and the waitor proposed us this card which enables us to enjoy 10% off the bills.. yay! but not valid on weekends.... booo...... not valid during public holidays.. .double booo.. but I've got it anyway, think the card was priced at RM15 with an instant RM5 voucher which I've used on the spot and subsequently, if I happened to go there during weekdays and I've brought this card with me... 10% off then.

The coupons...

Next, there's a couple of free coupons that came with the card. Among them were free food such as sandwich on August, free special BBQ chicken chop on September, free Red Bean Brick Toast on Oct...and on and on and on. there's even a 50% off the food bill before and after 7 days of birthday... how "cool"..lol. And then there are lucky draw coupons for a trip to Hong Kong's Disney Land for 2... RM50 voucher for Optical 88 ... might need this if I go there for my next spec, voucher for BeyondBeauty er... beauty salon, Firoucci RM50 voucher (I dun even know what they sell, I think its either lady's shoe or dresses)...City chain RM50 voucher...with a lot of printed conditions at the back.... finally RM5 voucher for Blay. Phew, that's it folks. Anyone of you who might be interested on one of these voucher kindly let me know, I'll pass them to you somehow... and incase nobody needs it... it goes to the bin! ting ting...

My "amazing" trip to Gurney Plaza...

(The journey there...)
It rained whole day and I went over to Gurney Plaza just now after fetching my mum from work. Wanted to find replacement battery for my dying phone and hope that with it I can hold on to my tempatation of getting a new phone. I dropped her on the main entrance and proceed to the rear entrance where I would head up to the parking lots upstairs. Guess what, there's 1 guard standing there. Oh I know what that means, parking lot's full or maybe they just block this side of the entrance, Okay... drive out proceeded to the other entrace.

(The encounter...)
I was driving slowly cos its raining after all, on the left lane... 1 taxi on the right... suddenly a black iswara sped up revving his engine... drove quite close to the taxi... eventually I gotta make way just for it to sped up and over take the taxi and landed in front of my lane... wow... way to go pal... I was frustrated and my hand hit the honk. LOL...

And there I was... honked that fella... and guess what... he moved in front of me and started driving slowly.. LOL.. wow... I was utterly speechless. Okay, since he's the one who wanted to be in such a hurry... slowing down is not a problem. Well, I've gotta admit though.. it was kinda slow... moving around 30 km/h... I tailed behind... slowly.. shaking my head in disbelieve with such immature driver. LOL.... wow.. Hail the BolehNess! (some how I failed to see his face though, wonder what kinda living being was inside... perhaps 1 with retarted brain. nyuk nyuk nyuk)

(The search for space...)
Anyway, I reached the 2nd entrance .... was also BLOCKED by another guard with an umbrella... I looked at him... hoping that there's a slight glimmer of hope that he would step away and let me in... hahaha, unfortunately he waved me away. I've got no choice but to use the basement lot.

I forgot when was the last time I parked down there. Anyway, circled around and no parking lot to be found. I turned down another level to basement lvl2... and circled around together with a lot of other cars... and I couldn't believe the amount of cars availble there. It was jammed packed, I couldn't believe why was it so jam today. Sunday? there's 1 Sunday per week... hmmm.

I called my mum and told her probably I couldn't find any spot and will have to leave... but lady luck appears to be on my side. As I approached back to lvl1, I saw a couple about to leave in their car.... signaled and waited. Yay~ a spot for me..

Phew...

(The battery...)
Went up to 4th floor and asked a few shops for my phone's battery...and none of them have it. Zero, Empty, Nada, Void, NULL.. LOL. Guess what? I'm not surprised... lol.. lesson learned. Get a phone with easy to find battery next time... such as Nokia or Sony Ericsson for that matter... or maybe not.. (iPhone, ngek ngek ngek).

(The dinner...)
After the search, went to foodcourt to have my dinner with mum. I ordered the usual Tom Yam claypot noodle... the kind lady asked me if I could like to have an egg to go with it, I politely said no... and she handed me the order coupon to which I shocked as I looked at the price tag... RM5!!!... gulp... man, reality check... yeah... petrol price hike... domino effect.. yada yada yada.. I get it. Welcome to the real world eh? hehehhehee... well, it's not so bad. Paying just a little bit extra to have my favourite Tom Yam in shopping complex.

(The end...)
Went back after that...a tiring trip. Jam and rained... wow... and worse of all.. no battery!!!

Guh.... (=_=!)

Dinner at Ms Saigon

Went for a dinner at E-Gate's Vietnamese restaurant - Miss Saigon. I've never actually been to any Vietnamese restaurant before nor I have tasted any Vietnamese dishes elsewhere, so this will be my first try.

Actually we didn't look at the menu outside of the restaurant, just headed straight in...

Walls deco

Wooden table and chairs

Wall lighting, a bit dim but not too dark

The deco for the place looks quite nice, although I didn't really notice anything that resembles Vietnamese. Everything looks modern, with lighting all over the ceiling, wooden chairs and tables.

Even the utensils are made of wood, nice touch

Kitchen Area and Cashier counter, nothing Vietnamese here either...

The manager seated us in a 5 person's table and handed us the menu. Initially I wanted to try out just individual set meals (as I always would) but then the manager insisted that we try out some in house recommendation. And so we did, ordered 3 different Vietnamese dishes and 1 Vietnamese drink.

Behold, the lemon grass drink... tasted a bit sweet (not too sweet) and smells quite nice, like drinking fragrance. Recommended for a taste

The rolls platter (not the actual dish name)

Erm, the platter recommended by manager. I forgot the dish's name but it has 4 vegetable rolls (I actually typed vege rows, omg... worked till short circuit.. =_=!) . Vegetable rolls tasted quite okay but I think they included a kinda 'smelly' vege which I can't quite stand the taste inside, so yucky for me but it's unique. Next, 2 more rolls that looks like spring rolls here and tasted quite okay with the crunchy wrapping which is very crunchy compared to our local spring roll's wrapping, this dish accompanied by sweet and sour sauce.

The emperor's noodle

I think that's what the menu saids, it featured crunchy noodle shaped noodle, shrimps, scallops topped in a kind of sauce (looks and tasted a bit like char hor fun's sauce)... slightly slimy... overall quite nice...

Last dish of the main courses was this... cat fish

Cat fish dish had the cat fishes chunks fried and wrapped inside 'pandan' leaves. Tasted quite nice but a bit bland for me, so I dipped them into the sweet and sour sauce. It has some vege dressing and the side and some cauliflowers accompanied by a scoop of fried rice. I must say that the fried rice doesn't taste sweet or salty at all, in fact almost no taste but it does have smell, quite nice fragrance. A bit unique, unlike the fried rice we normally have.

Apple Pie dessert with 2 mini cherries

As we're done with our main courses the manager saw we snapped a lot of photos along the way then suggested we try out their dessert which we ordred. He said "when the dessert comes, I guaranteed that your camera will starts snapping..." well manager my man, even if it was bland or good or bad, I'll snap it anyway and post it here. hahahhaa, so better make sure it looks and taste good. It was the apple pie dessert. Looks nice, tasted okay for me as I'm not a big fan of warm fruity desert.

Overall, the above meal with 2 lemon grass drinks and 1 cup of plain water costs around RM10x over. A bit expensive but expected from such fine dining restaurant. Worth a shot if you wanted to try out some Vietnamese cuisines. Check it out, It's just a few shops after Old Town cafe at E-Gate.

Have a great weekend ahead! ; )

Dillema

My phone's battery are dying... have been using this phone for the past 2.5 years. Since this is a rare brand and model, nobody seems to carry the battery around here. Well actually I've bought the phone in KL... perhaps I should look there.

Nokia - N82

Anyway, went to check out some of the phones online and also went to shops and ask around price. Actually I was hoping that my new phone will have GPS feature and or 3G connectivity. Camera if good ones also a plus... which leads me to Nokia's N82. The price tag for this is around RM1.5k for original version... still quite expensive to me, I've never bought any phone that's more than RM1.2k so far...but then again its feature loaded.... almost like a multimedia computer and its camera is among the best among its competition.

Sony Ericsson - k770i

If I were to go for a slightly cheaper medium end phone, the one that caught my eye was Sony Ericsson's k770i. The one with no joystick for their series as I always heard joysticks usually are the first piece that broke down. I think it looks good... has a 3.2mega pixel camera with LED flash and a front camera for 3G calls. It's priced around RM650 for AP set (third party warranty).

Since when does buying a phone becomes such a difficult choice? well, at least it's difficult for me, I'm wrestling the features I want vs my budget... I guess I better hold on first, wait for further price drop and get the one I wanted without paying for premium price.... hahaha, I better start carrying the charger with me everywhere I go... and charge whenever I can.

Peace~

Revisitting

Went back to my old company to help out my friend, briefed her on the system I did with another colleague. Unfortunately, I left first... then I didn't transition this particular system because the other guy was still around, the thing is... when he's about to leave.... it was within 1 short month of notice period... he was tasked to finished on hand work as much as he could and I guess this left little to no time for him to transition all his stuff... and so there I was.

Well, I dun really mind cos both of them are my friends. I'm more than happy to lend a hand or two. I did my best to recall what the system was about, setting up some programs for her and guided her through the systems as much as I could.

Then I walked around the office, went to where I sat last time... hmmm... the monitor I used was on the left, and there's added LCD monitor.. how nice :D, new desktop too...

Then I walked around other part and saw this drawing....
Hahahaha... that girl on the drawing was my colleague who used to sat beside me. She gave me that kinda expression she used to show when she successfully solved a difficult task. haha, the joy... the excitement, yeah.. most of us been through that... a lot. Brings back a lot of nice memories. I was kinda surprised that this is still around the white board panel each of us had on our cubicle wall. hahahahaha, appreciate it. Either they're too lazy to wipe it off or they really think it's cute so they decided just to leave it there. I'll take the latter and thanks for the compliment.

: )

I like nostalgic memories...sweet...bitter...sour...ahh.....life : ) Where's the last place that you went to recently that you have never been to again in the recent years? places to eat? old office? etc...

Blossom @ A2 Gallery

A2 Gallery, the mood is just right for an art gallery visit! about to rain... haha

Hmm, let's see... when exactly was the last time I've been to an art gallery. Well, I think like never? haha.. and so this is my first visit to an art gallery.

Titled: Blossom

Went with my friend last Saturday, for an alternate view at the scene you can visit her blog here. Blossom or so it was titled is actually a charity art exhibition, meaning all or partial I'm not that sure of the sale of those art pieces will be donated for Soroptimist International Penang for charity purposes.

At first glance, the map isn't drawn in er... user friendly kinda way, it was small, small wording, small roads with a lot of unwanted branches of smaller roads in between... but then with my understanding therefore I've successfully decipher the map! phew... (yeah, I'm a Penangites.. lol)

Notice the old grill decoration of the door and window

The gallery was situated inside one of the terrace old building renovated and painted in white. I do drive pass this street but barely pay attention to the surroundings.

Please sign in... Enter your user name and password...

The rest is tour around the gallery, have a look.. I'll give some brief description of each piece I post here...

The first center piece that greeted us was this... it's kinda huge as you can see it occupied almost the entire wall

Well, er... some other paintings that I took in from side angle trying to express my artistic side~

This piece is quite special, as you can see from the blurry background.. there's actually 1 tiny butterfly at the bottom of the piece flying towards the flower. I think its titled buttery and flower

you know those oil paintings, well a closer inspection reveals that they actually use some kinda paste in different color to paint the painting. Notice the bulging here and there? pretty cool although I'm not that into abstract oil paintings.

There are a few door which can lead outside to other small area such as 1 side door which leads to Garden Room with the word imprinted on the glass door, kinda neat

On more on 1st floor which leads to a balcony - Balcony Rest, sadly the door was locked and I couldn't go outside

Last one from the side of the building which is 'Garden Terrace', can see the Siam temple structure nearby

Found this piece of art near the toilet area... this guy appeared to have 10packs! omg... is that even possible?

Ahh, the 3 piece set which I think are linked together from left to right, right? Looks Like corals

One of my favourite piece, looks Japanish

This one as well, just beside the one on top

Almost all of the art pieces are accompanied by this tiny insert which shows the artist's name, art title, size, type of painting, year it was painted and price as well.. hmmm, when would I be able to paint something worth RM6k...

There's a table on the side of the staircase which gives away some brochures and invitation card for other exhibition as well... grabbed a few of them, looks exquisite~!

Staircase leading up to 1st floor, more arts!

Hmm, it saids I miss you... a lot of them... kinda neat. The artist must have missed someone dearly while painting this

'Good Bye Astroboy' or so it was called

Last but not least, here's an interesting piece. The type of material used are a mixture of cloth, paint and i think color paper too. Can you spot them?

That's just about it, for those who are interested take note of the details:
