I thought you and ctjcad were given the task to find her name, not about satay at Bukit Baru, Restoran Rose. Did you find out if the reward comes with a breeze or a punch :confused::D

No, no, the task is to find :
1) Race (easy only)
2) Marital Status (also easy)
3) State, this is easiest, since chris already found district, rest should be easy.

The above got give clue already. Name, difficult, since my nick not follow name.


Chris want satay? cannnn, come to Msia. Prize can give, anything that can transfer online? Other than hard cold cash. No pic sorry - eagle must fly here & there. serious, I will give prize - eagle dont fool around wan.:D

Eaglehelang, you will find a place called Langkawi north of Penang to have some resonance to your love for eagles. Pulau Langkawi means Eagle Island. In the town by the sea you can see a giant Eagle monument in Eagle Square, which commemorates the origin of Langkawi. Lang was derived from the Malay word Helang (eagle) and Kawi (marble) was derived from Sanskrit. It was known originally as Helangkawi, now known as Langkawi.
BTW, Langkawi (under Kedah) and Kedah were under the rule of Thailand as late as during WWII. After the war both reverted back to Malaysia. That explains why the Thai influence in Langkawi is very extensive. Here is the best place in Malaysia for Thai food.

Thanks taneepak, been to Langkawi before, years ago. And yes, saw that eagle monument. Errrr as Msians it's compulsory for us to learn Msian history, so yup, I know that part, just dont remember which year was Thai, British, etc.

Best for Thai food? :rolleyes: Maybe you went to better restaurant, I prefer Thai food in Penang, cheaper too, since Langkawi is tourist destination, more expensive.

It's an ok place for holiday, not great - it's usual response, own country, see also jelak (bored), other people's country more interesting cos it's different from what we see every day.

After the 'quiz' is over in this thread, I'll tell you what interesting things my state has.
If I'm not mistaken, you're coming to Msia for MO, right?

Thanks for the correction. Sorry I misread the quest at hand, but I trust chris@ccc is a very determined and capable man for any jobs at BC with or w/o prizes :p

Tq, tq, me take that as compliment,he he. Boy like eagle more? Dunno-lah, also forgot why kiddy time like eagle the most.

Good, you still play & promote the sport over there, whether big or small way.

Btw, you been watching the Veoh.com badminton videos kah? Quality ok?
I tested the ones I uploaded, seems blurry(you call it fussy) due to lagging in connection. Original very clear - from mikemike, asiatrader. Just wondering if Veoh becoming like Youtube, pic quality drop.
Got ppl seems really interested in KBH vs Wacha, 44 views. Taufik vs Kenderick Lee also not so popular

I haven’t watch Veoh.com lately. If I remember it correctly, last time I got annoyed because ad popped up every minute or so. Looked at yesterday, I didn’t see any more problems. As for the quality, the full screen is unwatchable, but the small screen is not bad. The trouble for me usually is the search, don’t know how and what to search for. I’d just click around to see what thumbnails came up on the right side, so not very intelligent way to find interesting things to watch. Saw the uploader’s profile as male, any reason or clues for us :rolleyes:

oh cannot find kah? easy only, just type "badminton", all the uploaders put the tag as badminton, or name of player. Thanks for testing it.
But you no need do search for baddy, you have original, that's for future newbies, by the time they join, the upload links here are dead.

If you want latest ones, click on 'closest match' then 'this month'

I know the answer to the 3rd one, but I'll leave it for Chris@ccc to solve since I admire his drive to tackle the hardest one first, which I could not find the answer myself :mad:

State wasnt hard actually, I already said ask Player from Malaya, he's from same state, you all just need to PM him, then know the answer.

I did not try the state since Chris@ccc resolved it quickly and I don't know much about Masia geography. Also I did not know what Player from Malaya meant and did not make the connection with PM. The second one was the one failed me :mad:

Since Chris@ccc knows so much about Masia, I want to find out about his background whether he had come from Masia, but could not find his Intro. Maybe the 2 Chris are in the same boat :confused:

As for the prize for Chris@ccc, what are the choices? Should he need us to make any recommendations ;) Did you say online items only? Including audio recording from you :D

How about singing a song and send to him on internet since Chris@ccc love songs, especially sad ones :crying:
 
this is totally off topic but when you mentioned eagle and animal i remember this one tv programme long long ago title MANIMAL where this guy can turns into different animals like puma, eagle and others. cool isn't it. hehehehe
 
^^Hmmm..^^

..indeed, from your Intro. thread, you've been watching way too much telly...:p ;)

Thanks for the direction. After being tortured for 6 pages, finally found that Chris@ccc is indeed native to Masia (I guess a Chinese descendant?). You could have given me the link for the page 6 though. Is that the way you want to get back to me for bad mouthing you :mad:

But thanks the same, you always come through when needed, a living dictionary for the BC forum. The reading was good, which reminded me the phrase of "Asian Tiger" coined sometime time ago.

KL looks well developed and countryside must be nice to see as well. Must be a good place for our friends to live and fly. I hope the cities don't have the same inner city problems as in US since they are newer :confused:
 
No and yes..

:D..to answer the above highlighted comments:
1. No..:p
2. Yes, of course it was a good read. Why would i lead you to something that you'll fall asleep upon..hehe:p..Well, fortunately it wasn't too long of a thread and has some pics to entertain your eyes...;) :cool:
Yes, you should have a visit to KL, if you have time, in the future (as pics can only do so much to one's imagination)..:cool:
 
It's just not what I had in mind. I though Masia was more like Chn before, backwater kind thing. Even Chn today has become something I'm no longer familiar with. It seems KL is as good as Shanghai if not better :)

As to your knowledge base, one of eaglehelang's quizzes is still standing. Are you going to give a try and beat Chris@ccc to the punch or it's too easy for you :confused:

Don't shy away from any challenges or prizes next time :D
