Like ants, we dig from the neighbour's cellar and rob your banks

Even with all the technology and sophistication we have today, desperation can still drive people to revert back to their most primal instincts.

On the 27thth of March, a gang of robbers dug and robbed a Parisian bank.
Strange enough, this heist shows similarities to the Spaggiari Affair, dubbed the heist of the century, masterminded by Albert Spaggiari in Nice more than 30 years ago.

It’s quite ironic how the media now portrays “the new age baddies” to be spies (or ninjas… or evil geniuses) with high-tech gear and are mostly well-dressed. But in reality, none of these people really exist.
It goes to show that all you really need to pull off a burglary is a good plan, a few days of leave from your day job and a good shovel.

Because when you rock it old school, you get places. And in this place, you find yourself in a bank: gagging the guard and breaking into the master vault.

Christmas with the Handicapped

Christmas is not only a time to recieve, but also a time to give. a family of carolers spends every Christmas entertaining and providing the mentally handicapped.


“Santa’s Little Helper’s,” a group of carolers consisting of cousins and close friends, entertaining the mentally unwell patients. Even though the patients were not able to comprehend the event, they thoroughly enjoyed the songs performed by the carolers.



Santa Claus dancing with the patients, and entertaining the others seated around by singing songs and telling jokes. Other patients and volunteers look on in delight as they eagerly wait their turn to dance with Santa.

Male patients of PJ Caring Home enjoy the performance by Santa’s Little Helpers. Clapping along and even requesting songs, the patients looked on and enjoyed themselves.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is handed out to each mentally handicapped patient at the PJ Caring Home located at Seksyen 1, Petaling Jaya. The patients hungrily and gratefully accept the food handed out by the family members who have sponsored the KFC.



The patients dig into the KFC that had been handed to them by the volunteers. The patients are entertained by Santa and his Little Helpers whilst having their meal.
