Wish "AK Kaiser" have a Speedy recovery!!!

Background : One of our forumer by the nicks of "AK Kaiser" had fallen ill. He is one of the most hardworking and popular card seller whom many people know. Unfortunately he was down with a certain kind of sickness as Stroke...

Here's a get well wish from another forumer ,AKSIAO who had expressed his care and concern:


"Yo bro, this thread is delicated to U as i heard from Lim that what happend to u and u now staying at home resting..

but dun give up on AK lah…

no doubt u cant fish for the time being but as long as u can recovered and health is more important.

to all Ak fans who is reading this thread ..

one of our forumer aka Hung Fei Hong aka Mee Pok Man aka Romeo has fallen down and contracted a dunno what sickness and its similar to what we call STROKE.. and half of his body was somehow paralsyed ...

sorry i dunno really know how to say it in details but maybe those who knows him will know what happened… but it leads me to think that 1 person health is really important cos with $$$ but no health is pointless sigh....

u might not be reading this thread or u totally cut off from AK
but over here i wish u have a speedy recovery and go chiong cards again!!!"

Reply from AK Kaiser :
"I very jialiat but I am not suffering from stroke. The medical word is bell palsy. Simpton similiar to stroke. Thanks every body. I will recover in 1 to 2 months time. How to see u all again soon."
~ AK KAISER

Blog Master: Get well soon ...rest well and play hard (for animal Kaiser) again when you are fully recover , GOD bless !

Released Date for Version 4 (Rumour)

It should be early july...but the launch was delay now due to a printing error @ the cardlist. Currently , the printing company is re-printing the correct copies...rushing to complete in a weeks time.

Hence, the best predict launch date should be around 15 July to 17 July.
Get ready your $$ to prepare to chong all the way !!

Blog Master: Our AK reporters from Indonesia and Philippines also feedback that there is no Version 4 @ their country yet

Mani ,the parrot who predict world cup result

Photobucket
Photobucket
MOVE aside Paul the Octopus, it's time to make way for Mani the Parakeet, Singapore's avian football analyst.

Although Paul correctly predicted Germany's win against England, everyone knows that was just a lucky guess.

Paul is an octopus that lives at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany.

He has attained superstar status for his spot-on World Cup predictions.

PhotobucketBut unlike Paul, an amateur living in a world-class aquarium, Singapore's Mani is a working professional, who has to strive hard for his keep.

The plucky 13-year-old parakeet only has a dingy little cage to call home, although he is taken care of with tender loving care.

He and his master, fortune-teller Mr Muniyappan, ply their trade along the narrow five-footways of Little India, awaiting customers.

Their clientele? Curious locals and tourists who want a peek into their future

2 days ago, The New Paper found the prophetic duo along Serangoon Road.

Mani was squawking noisily when this reporter approached Mr Muniyappan with trepidation.We asked: 'Can Mani predict who will win the quarter-final matches of the World Cup?'

No reply from the 70-year-old Mr Muniyappan. The wizened man pointed at the cards in our hands and gestured towards his table.

Game on. First up was Brazil's showdown with Holland.Mani was swift.
He rushed out of his cage without any coaxing from Mr Muniyappan and snapped up the Dutch card.Indeed, a portentous omen for the Samba boys, who are looking to win their sixth World Cup.

Next up was Uruguay and Ghana, Africa's remaining hope in the tournament.
Alas, it looks like Africa will have to wait another four years.
Mani was again swift in his decision, snapping up the card for Diego Forlan's Uruguay before trooping back to his cage.

But it was a different story for Germany and Argentina.

Even when his cage door was opened, Mani stood his ground and only came out after much coaxing from Mr Muniyappan.

Difficult tie

Out of his cage, the parakeet cocked his head as he eyed the cards before him. Somehow he knew that it was a difficult tie which could go into extra time.

After all, even Paul the amateur took some time before picking the Germans to triumph over Argentina.It was a tense few moments as The New Paper team looked on with bated breath.

Eventually, Mani made his decision - he picked up Germany's card, but not before squawking twice confidently.Looks like fans will not get to see a naked Maradona streak through the streets of Johannesburg. Perhaps it is for the better.

The last match-up was another no-brainer for our bird-brained friend.
Mani picked the Spaniards without batting a wing, stamping Europe's authority over their South American challengers, Paraguay.

There you have it, Mani's picks - Holland, Uruguay, Germany and Spain.

Unlike the amateur from Germany, Mani is prepared to risk his reputation on all four results and not just one.

Mani is wrong when it picks Uruguay to win against Holland
However, he pick Spain to win against German. (Result = Spain won by 1-0)

Story : Using self-printed bar code during tournament

"It’s a cheat that people using fake cards during tournaments. The staff should check. Even they used a normal card and pasted the barcode of another card, the staff should do something!

The rules in a tournament ever said that only original cards were allowed, no fake cards is not allowed. My friend ever shares this story to me that he had ever see a people next to him using a bronze animal card, normal strong card and silver miracle card, but it was a different result. The animal that comes out was Vrede holy elephant, the strong card is 225 with 2 defense auras and the miracle is Aligned Planet! "

~ herbie3

Blog Master: Thanks for highlighting this new method of cheating where they will use a normal legal card but secretly replaced the DIY self=printed bar code below the card. Any arcade organising staff may miss out if they did not check behind the card...

Story : "Dad, I'm Sorry..."



看到1分27秒處狂飆淚
我竟和那女生一樣哭出聲來... T.T
父親懷中抱著的
幻化成那個笑著吃手的女兒BABY...
再幻化成安靜睡在肩上的孫女BABY...
愛屋及烏的愛
親情真偉大!!

當你做爸爸以後,才開始學做爸爸. 有一個女兒真的很貼心,但是卻很辛苦. 看到女兒的成長, 就會想到,年輕時要多尊重女性一點, 假如你不尊重他們, 誰會來尊重你的女兒?
~ willtaipei

"愛" -----能化解所有悔、疚、恨、怨。
我們都把"愛"付出給身邊的人吧!

~ keivq


"有被父親感動到,特別是小時候回憶那段,真的很感人。

不過看了類似這種事總是很感慨,畢竟女生跟男生體質差異...懷孕了是在女人身上,要多多小心。
而且有些事情道歉不見得會像這位父親一樣選擇原諒。畢竟家庭不同,想法也不見的一樣。
好好保護自己,不要枉費過去父母一番疼惜結果還要為兒女擔心。
