Short updates #1

I will persist until I succeed.

I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my sheperd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.

The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed. =)

Hi everyone,

3 Months!! What happened to the vow?!

I made a vow that I will at least blog every 2 weeks.. what happened to that vow I wonder.

of cos there excuses to laziness...

My apology to all, I'm expriencing a transition period right now and apparently I'm extremely busy in between accomplishing my goals for 2009 and meeting obstacles & shit holes every now and then. Of cos while stepping on shit, I striked off a few milestones here and there. Setting new ones and looking forward for the bigger one that will contribute in shortening the distance to the final distination. I felt like I'm embarking on a never ending journey of no turning back but plus I am force to endure pain/failure/rejection along the way and the secret was I was able to enjoy the every bit of the process while dashing my whole heartedly in this choosen path. No regrets.. no regrets....

I will try to update whenever I have the luxury of time which I find it hard these days. hahaha... Do drop by to check out whether there's any updates.

Till then, cya and take care everyone. This is not the END of the CUBE. I promise.

Best Wishes,
Michael

A Trip down to IPOH

2009-04-07T21:32:00.005+08:00

I'm back yet I'll have limited time to blog. Work has been hectic as my laptop was stolen under my nose a week ago. Effort was being carried out endlessly day and night to retrieve my company & personal data was like looking for a needle under the deep ocean bed. Neither less, I am taking a short while here to upload my trip to Ipoh for a wedding ceremony of Laine & Poh Yuen's big day. I was honoured to be invited to be their photographer also together with me for this important task was Joseph.

It was rather early that morning which Joseph and I sat foot on the bride room. The day was clear and the weather was promising. We just couldn't wait for the showdown.

Apparently Laine was tired as she told us that she didn't slept much as I think she was excited for her big day. Her stylist did a good job in making her the prettiest girl of the day. Obviously everyone was so excited and happy for her.

As I took some time for a walk back in memory lane, there were pictures hang on the wall of the bride's home. Photos of her childhood and pictures of nostalgic moments were hang everywhere that would convey happiness and love that last a lifetime and to be shared for generation to come.

Picture of theirs- Laine & Poh Yuen was also being hang on the hall of fames of the Liew's family.

Gifts for the sistershood. A token of appreciation for her gals friends as they are assigned for an important mission that particular day. The groom is not going to get to the bride that easy, the gals gonna give a hard time for the groom. ~.~

Shes was definitely ready for her big day. Her smile was so radiant and the excitement & anticipations fills the atmosphere as I could hear hearts beats at every corner of the house and the sound of wedding bells echos from afar...

WAIT~! Is not the church ceremony yet.

I'll be back for more picture and story. Stay tune~

Cheers~

PASTA Zanmai

2009-02-15T00:35:00.005+08:00

On February 10th, it was my first experience eating Japanese food with pasta. O.o Imagine pasta served with wasabi and cream/tomato sauce?? -No wasabi of cos, jk- It was a last second decision to hop on a ride to Mid Valley for dinner cos initial plan was to have pizzas near by. Oh I forgot to mention that it was Alan's birthday (he is my friend and housemate) so we decided to celebrate with him.

Long story short.

Let the picture below do the talking and trigger your food cravings if it may =)

"Pasta Zanmai", it took us 10 to 15min to take our order. There's tons of choice =) I would say the price is reasonable and affortable of cos.

We had green tea to clear our throat... grRhh... Apparently we couldn't wait for the food to come.

One of us ordered Apple green tea. The fragrance of the green apple itself was heaven. The mixture of the tea and apple was perfectly blended together that gave a punch to your taste bud whenever it gushes down the throat.

Strawberry Crepe. Pasta Zanmai in house made ice cream. The texture of the ice cream was smooth and filled around with strawberry fillings and strawberry and cream topping makes it even more irresistible.

Vanilla Crepe - I still preferred the strawberry crepe for it's flavour over this. In short, the texture of both ice cream was simply irresistible.

Here comes the food!!!

Pepper grilled chicken served with mushroom cream sauce inclusive of spaghetti. I had this one =)

Teriyaki Chicken served with spaghetti and an half boiled egg on top.

Braised chicken served with spaghetti and an half boiled egg on top. Chicken Katsu style.

Spaghetti filled with unagi served with mushroom cream sauce.

This was the last dish, Japanese pizza.

The birthday man is on the left. We finished our dinner around 9pm and left the premises soon after. However I did a detour to the book store to grab some books and later on left the mall heading back home to wrap up my day.

FIGHTING THE ODDS.

2009-02-08T02:06:00.008+08:00

Apparently I'm still awake doing something on an early Sunday morning - my clock ticked 2:12am. It had been an exhausted week for me since the "Return to work" syndrome had pumped up more blood into my blood vessel. The bonus added part was I had to sleep less than 5 hours a day for the past four days and it has bring forth the Result of = I am still awake now! I couldn't sleep even though it is a resting day for me today and Monday as well.

Saturday 7th Feb 09 just ended 2 hours ago, Sunday 8th Feb 09 just creeped in. I was looking at my calendar and I found myself looking at the dates for the following week with doubts and question marks kept popping in the air. Suddenly a blink of awareness filled my empty void. Obviously the annoucement I heard on radio stations and the advertisement on the papers and also fwd emails i received for the past few days and even the Internet share the similarity of relating the information that I received...

It is Valentines Day knocking on our door step. The feeling of Aw... ~~ drooled me into the picture of dating someone for this festive... but immediatly an alarm bell rang in my head telling me that I did not and forgotten to allocate a budget for this "festive" - "commercialized occasion." Aw again ~~ I think I just need to dig deep into my "play jug" to see whether there's any extra =)

I ponder for a while on what should I do for Valentine day. Should I dine out or I just plain cook at home. Maybe I should get presents or maybe I should buy flowers? All of the mentioned rang the alarm again reminding me once more that I "MIGHT" not have the budget for it since I totally forgot about it. =D sad but true, there's so much thing going on since the start of the New Year. I was just too busy with my schedule till I can't bother at times to take my wabbits for a swim in the pool. <- (ok, that's a joke, what I meant is bath)

Fighting the odds that I would date someone I love or should I date someone that I befriended for ages? =) I guess most of us would date someone whom we love. I am clueless at this point. Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, you'll get pain? For example, some people feel that if they stay in a relationship, they'll be miserable because they felt that they are not meant to be, but if they leave, they'll be lonely and even more miserable. As a result, they do nothing and feel miserable!

All my life I had been fighting for what I believe I would want in life. From the moment I woke up in the morning, I dragged my butt into the wash room and lifted my head and look myself into the mirror with a pair of tired eye balls but still I motivate myself even if I had just encountered something catastrophic yesterday. I would be lying to you if I were to say I always win in life, I would say I went through some of the most indescribable experiences in life and it varies from different stages of my life, history of my childhood, studies, relationship, work and etc.

Events and experiences in the past had taught me rather than feeling trapped, I used this pain as my strongest ally. I feel this pain of mine with emotional intensity that allows me to leverage to finally do something about it. This is what we call reaching emotional threshold. I believe instead of passively waiting for this inevitable emotion, I consciously and actively produce it in a way that motivates myself to make my life better =) This method works tremendously well in my life.

Last but not least, I urge everyone to treat each day as a "Wake up call" to remind yourself that you can do greater things in life. Everyone is gifted in may ways. For me. I wake up everyday telling myself that each day is a fight for my freedom-"My financial freedom" =) Everyone have different goals in life. It is this that motivates and push you to the limits each day. What is life without goals? Always ask yourselves what you do today does it contributes to your success and happiness in life?

Cheers,
Michael Wong

STAINED or CLEAN

2009-02-02T20:03:00.005+08:00

2nd February 2009

It was a hectic morning yet another exhausted afternoon but I love the feeling of being busy during the holidays. FYI-Today is a public holiday for Federal Day of Kuala Lumpur so basically everyone that is working within the city area is off for today and shall resume work tomorrow.

I woke up quite early today to start cleaning my room as I just came back from the Chinese New Year Holiday. My belongings was unpacked last night but my room was yet to be cleaned after a week off back to my hometown - The Land of the Head Hunters - (Kuching, Sarawak) =D

Honestly speaking... It took me several months... I say SEVERAL months to take the initiative to clean the FRIDGE. Hey, comon I should be praised from doing that. haha.. since theres none in my rented house would want to do that. Everyone was like pushing the "GROSS" task around. I took the initiative =) haha.

So I wore gloves, tons of newpapers and 2 freaking big black plastic bags (like the bags you would be seen in CSI to "bungkus" the corpse)-bungkus means wrap in Bahasa Malaysia. Without decribing any further, I guess you knows roughly what's the content inside the fridge. It had not gone through the defrosting process for quite a while and.. ok, I'll stop else you will puke. bwhahaha~ How I wish there's ladies around the house. I reckon that females are more prompt to cleaniness and many other things in life which men need them to be around. God create a perfect balance in this world =D

While removing the unwanted stuff in the fridge, I was almost out of breath. Goosh. I dismanted the plastic parts in the fridge and washed it with soap and water. Some of the stain just won't go. I brushed so hard till my face go red...

LIGHT BULBS~

I soaked it in a bucket of water that contains detergent and I left it for an hour or so. The stain was easily removed after that. Of cos I brushed it again. Then I managed to clean up my room, sweeped, mop and etc. Again and again I see stain here and there. I really don't know how did all this stain came from. Geesh~ I tried my best and finished up everything by noon.

I sat back and relax for a while and started planning ahead what would be my schedule for this month. Things to be accomplished within this month and other sighted goals that are aligned with my main goals for the following months of 2009. Some thought just came in mind and I wish to share with you all cos apparently I have indeed some time off that allows me to do so.

"Stained or clean"
(My point of view)
Most people wonders and sometimes queries why a child can have thoughts and mentality that can be so innocence and pure and why most of the adults in the society doesn't. Why would so many adults does not have the common or correct understanding for their children needs?

Isn't because they are stained as the saying goes, "Money is the root of all evil" that makes most of the adults in the society gone crazy and abused this tools that leads to corruption, betrayal, and other immoral stuff you can think of. Or isn't because over the period of time that a person changed due to his/her life experiences that told them so. Or isn't because there's so much to blame in the world that one forgot the basis of education since young???

A big QUESTION mark just popped right from nowhere. The question is why and how?

I reckon there are 3 factors in life that shape ones belief and later on became part of their lifes which will follows them till their death bed. Again -my point of view =) -

All were craved since the day you understand who is your daddy and mommy.
1) What you heard and what you later on practice that became a habit. The things you heard that brings you pleasure and the things that restrict you from doing it that associated to pain.

2) What and who did you modeled since you were young. From your parents till the people that surrounds you. Unconsciously you will love to treat one of them as your HERO. The question is whom did you modeled since then that actually formed entirely your belief that you would be like him or her.

3) Something BIZZARE or some specific encounter that happened when you were young and it had since became a severe memory stigmata or pleasurable moment that pierced or encourages you everytime you associate it with the reality in your adult life.

It is not about how a person changed over the period of time. It is about how well you actually mastered the above mentioned 3 items whether you had started or exposed to the correct or wrong feet at the very begining. Kids are like spongeBOB, they tend absorb whatsoever that comes their way and it is then that form him or she an adult today. You can either be the Guru of Success or Guru of failure of which you had mastered since young that resulted to the quality you have today.

Stained or clean. It is not about if you were once a useless person, you are forever that person pinned to the wall and it does not mean that you do not have the priviledge to strive to being better. I believe everyone has many fair choices in life. From the moment you think what you need to do next, choices immediately present itself in front of you. It is how we recognize these choices to make our life better. =) You too have the infinite POWER of choices! Recognize the above 3 items and startle your thinking cap. What have you done so far and achieved so far?

Live life to the extent of acknowledge what comes your way and doing what's important that support your happiness and success and bringing it forth with your will and desire to achieve greater heights.

Cheers~
Michael Wong

COMPETITION

2009-01-31T02:28:00.004+08:00

30th January 2009.

I had a serious discussion with my business partner on our "freelance business" this afternoon. Of cos without the exception of wearing the extreme (Formality) of = SUITS with TIES and Blazers etc but it's a head start for him and I. However, I will be doing the extreme when we meet up for the next business discussion. haha~! Do let me know if you wanna know why I opt to go for the extreme next time. =)

Summary of the outcome of the discussion were basically organizing the workloads and finalizing the details of setting up the proper stream for our future customers like "YOU" whom are reading this right now to know and understand us further. By the way, we are doing freelance on "Actual Day Wedding Photography" - Your biggest day in life is our biggest day as well! =)

And in the end of the day, a thought strikes me and forces me onto wearing my thinking cap = "COMPETITION!"

=) No doubts there's so much competition out there and it ranges from people that are entitled with the GURU status or even to the extent of MASTER of GURUsssS. Yes indeed, the initial thoughts were freakishly demotivated that it resounded in my head for a minute, "You SIAO (meaning: crazy in Hokkien dialect) ah!! Lu Boh su zho ah!!!! (meaning:you have nothing else to do in Hokkien!!!)"

I breathed in deeply and repeatedly told myself within; "Thank you for sharing, this thoughts does not empower me and does not support my freedom, happiness and success!"

Instantly, I felt relieved and an everlasting perseverance and a stronger determination gushed in setting me on an Unstoppable mode! Godlike! Owning! <-(Anyone who plays DOTA knows whats all the terminology used here) hahaha. Within me, I told myself in return to the negative vibes saying, "I love COMPETITION!!!!"

COMPETITION is healthy. Set your goals right. Don't stop, play it 1000%! Competition gives birth to RESULTS. Results will reflect the 1000% that were invested in! It encourages constant changes for room to improve. The FINAL end result will only be nothing but your one and only "MASTER PIECE" copyrighted only to you! =)

Till then, I'm gonna to stop here. I need to rest my body after a long day. HEALTH!! Goosh. hehe~!

Cheers~

NEW YEAR 2009

2009-01-30T01:19:00.003+08:00

My first post for the New Year 2009.

It is the 30th January 2009. Happy Chinese New Year 2009 to my fellow readers. It marks a different year for everyone as the globe's economy is moving towards "depression" (my personal opinion) rather than "recession" as everyone fears for the worst has yet to have come.

What can we do about it? What can we hope for or at least how should we react to such economic crisis? To be more prudence / save for raining days? (toot~ I save for Joyous day) / to invest in this economic situation?

EVERYONE IS sinking in being PRUDENCE and being in FEAR.

Regardless of such circumstances mentioned above.

I would hereby declares my goals for the year 2009:-
1)To further acquire / feed my brain =D with food = 50 books on self help / investing
2)To attend 2 workshops / seminars locally and abroad.
3)To top my university (FYI - currently undergoing part time study).
4)To be the top in my job.
5)To sleep only to the extent of "sufficient" but of cos staying healthy is a must!
6)To achieve ideal BMI (Body Mass Index). YES! I CAN DO IT!
7)To start in Internet marketing and freelance.
8)To spent time on cultivating family values.
9)To spent time on building up my spiritual beliefs.
10)TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL TO BE A MILLIONAIRE BY THE AGE OF 28!

It took so much COURAGE to declare my goals!I could almost instantly killed a tiger with such courage. Haha~! I love that feeling of having such courage. It makes the unbelievable becomes a miracle. I will and I must fulfill and complete the above mentioned.

I will be updating regularly on my progress toward my goals and of cos it is of cos depending on my schedule. You just LOOK at the above. The clocks is ticking! LOL~ I love being in the process of learning and growing and I am indeed enjoying myself right now, "ENJOYING the PROCESS", sometimes it is not about reaching the final destination. It's all about the PROCESS!!

Oh ya. before I forgot~ to ADD one more to my list of goals for this year 2009:
12) To update my blog regularly = at least once every fortnight =)

Random Thoughts

2008-09-17T11:59:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I just plain tired of the monotony of my life.

i am in a state of "sleep walking" this very moment.

Tick Dock... tick dock...

The clocks just will not stop ticking as I urge to smash it hard with a hammer. Even the clock is smashed into pieces; time will not wait for anyone in particular.

Just a while ago, I heard wedding bell rang from a few of my friends who are getting married soon or getting their wedding planned for the following year. Occasionally someone would ask me when will it be my turn to tie the knot. I had always reluctant or tried my best to avoid replying such question as I am not certain of what answer is best to reply.

Life is kind of short. Everyone knows that they have only one life to live through their donkey years. This makes no exception for me either. The question and answer game had always reflected upon myself deeply. I would always question myself,"Am I ready for such a commitment? Will I be able to start my own family with my own bear hands? The up hand most frequent question that keeps popping in my mind are, "Am I capable of taking charge of my own life as well as taking care of my beloved wife and future son & daughter to come? Do I have the capabilities to provide unconditionally for their needs regardless of my own?

Taking charge of your life brings meaning of setting a path for your future. Take control of your own destinies; do not let fate control you as you need to be the pilot of your own ship.

"The future belong to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Just some random thoughts to share as I am having some hand off from my work load for the time being.

Lovely Weekends

2008-09-08T16:14:00.003+08:00

The weather is rather weird these days. It has been raining non stop almost everyday for the past weeks. This morning while on my way to work, I heard on the radio that the northern part of Peninsula Malaysia is experiencing flash flood at Kedah province. I hope everything is gonna be fine.

Yesterday...

I had a "Just fine" or moderate weekends. I had my usual classes then follows by some relaxation of time off from work. I'm in love with my current job as much as I love the Vit-M. I really hope the Raya's Holiday come sooner. It is just the beginning of September! Just a torture to endure till the 1st of October.

Somehow... weekends is lovable when I spend it with her.

I just love spending my time with this little girl. =)

At the age of 3, she would like to barge into people's bedroom, jump on their bed and hop like a bunny non stop to wake you up.

Sometime it's a nuisance but sometimes it's rather adorable.

I find that I love to tease her as much as I like to tease someone dear to me. I love to hug her while squeezing her like sponge bob in my arm and she would yell, "Jiu ming Ah!!" (Translates : Help!)

As evening came, I decided to bring her to a park nearby. She couldn't help but to notice there's a huge play ground awaits her. She gushed towards the field without waiting for me. Apparently, both of us enjoyed the evening sun. I just felt happy watching her having the best time she could have today.

Last but not least, we had our dinner without her. She was tired after the park's affair and she was caught fast slept in the car while on our way back home.

I will be posting some photos regularly =) Stay tune.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers,
Mike

2008-07-23T17:23:00.007+08:00

These Day...

Kitchen has officially became part of my life...

Something new... something refreshing (for the nutshell)...

Everyday was Kitchen.. KITCHEN... and more kITcHeN!!!!

From morning till noon... Kitchen...

From 6 star and above till the lowest I get is 5 star... type of KITCHEN...

MY BELLY GROWLed ferociously non stop... I was indeed hungry...

Time is hard to pass by as currently I am still doing the "NAtional Service" kind of thingy...

New things to learn but not that hard to grasp BUT extremely hard to digest...

Food has always been part of my life (technically =D) ... Each day I learned more about food... Good food... delicious food... in short quality food...

The food in the brochures were very appealing and it like popping out right in front of my eyes whenever I start hallucinating (sleepy) argh... it's untouchable nor it is eatable...

Slowly I was dozing off unexpectedly YET with my eyes wide opened... (how i wish)

aRgh.... looking at me watch!! 5:30pm!!!

Hurray~ is time to go back... =)

A day at work yet realizing time passes by that fast...

Root Three

2008-07-20T01:56:00.003+08:00

I fear that I will always be
a lonely number like a root three

A three is all that's good and right

Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign?

I wish instead I were a nine.

For nine could thwart this evil trick
with just some quick arithmetic.

I know I'll never see the sum as 1.7321

Such is my reality a sad irrationality.

When, hark, just what is this I see?

Another square root of a three
has quietly come waltzing by

Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer

Rejoicing as an integer

We broke free from our mortal bonds
and with a wave of a magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
and love for me has been renewed.

The Nine Thousand Prologue...

2008-07-14T16:35:00.005+08:00

The voyages still continue aimlessly with no harbor in sight. No one knew for sure what would lies ahead. Perhaps, some may said, all this was nothing more than a absurd dream but I refused to believe it. I continued with my pursue...

..........

Occasionally...

An anchor drops all the way to the dark, cold calmness of the abyssal plain, and disturbs the stillness of centuries by throwing up a cloud of silt.

One nearly hit .... the other awaits ...

As the storm came and sank the ships till it stops sinking and ends up floating on a underwater surface, beyond the reach of the storms but far above the ocean floor.

.....

It's calm there. Dead calm.

.....

Slowly, I turned my body around and raised my left arm. I reached as far as I can and clinched on to the iron plated handle and it stored water to power its mechanisms.

When She Loved me

2008-06-11T18:32:00.004+08:00

Picture taken in Lake Perdana " Botanical Garden" on Labour's day.

Argh...

Current Mood : Very very very shitty** mentioned from my previous post.

However, recently I stumbled upon an old Dvd from Alan's room and thus I decided to take some time off to sit back and enjoy the show again.

-Toy Story 2 -

It took me an hour or so to finish the show and the song featured in one of the soundtrack, "When she love me" sang by Sarah Mclachlan caught my attention and so I decided to make a few clicks on the WORLD WIDE WEB and now you are listening to it on my blog =)

The lyrics is as follows:- Enjoy, feel it, smoothing and I just love it.

Song Title : When She Love Me ( Toy Story 2)
Artist : Sarah Mclachlan

When somebody loved me,
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart
And when she was sad,
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy,
So was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together,
Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely,
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten,
I'd never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart

When she loved me

End.

Nice eh? Yea~ I hope you liked the song as much as I did. I'll soon revamp my blog, I mean the whole thing will go into construction soon. I'm still looking into possibilities on my own dotcom as much as my own domain name. It is still on the thinking cap.

See you guys soon. Ej, I shall await for your arrival very soon from now.

Till then, I hope I can blog often and not some random blog post. It is getting more random these days due to:-

Mood : Very Shitty plus lousy internet connection.

cya.

Labour Day outing Part 1

2008-05-27T17:55:00.005+08:00

Picture taken in The Botanical Garden of "The Perdana Lake".
Above shot was captured in The Cactus Garden, I spotted a red flower among the thorns of all the cactus that surrounds it. I titled it outshine as it really did outshine the rest. For such a small flower but yet out colored it surrounding. It somehow represents my current self.

May the 1st marked the Labour Day of 2008, it's a public holiday for every citizen of Malaysia. As long as you are a Malaysian, you are spared from work this day but of cos there some who still work.

Current Mood : Shitty ("work influence" - I do believe it somehow does)

I'm gonna continue this post soon. Lousy internet connection, kinda hard to even upload one photo. It took me half an hour for one pic.

I hope everyone do bare with me~~ LOL~ I really hope to spend more time in my life, blog, trying to perfect my shot & etc.

There's so many things to be done. Uncountable yet there's so little accomplishments.

Argh~~

When will it be?

I need my Life's "Big Break"~

I didn't cry the day you moved away

Until I saw the stranger that was you
Whatever happened to our innocence
and the somethin' that you said about being friends

help me say the words out loud

could it be
that nothings gonna change
cause time has got a way of taking back
everything you thought you had
can you see
the girl you used to be
the one I lost when I let go of you
oh whatever happened to
mary jane
ooh ooh
ooh ooh

I need to wake up from this state of mind
the situation is the same kind
I gotta get your memory out of my head
would you catch me if I had to fall
would you even find the time for that at all
tell me how
help me say the words out loud

could it be
that nothings gonna change
time has got a way of taking back
everything you thought you had
can you see
the girl you used to be
the one I lost when I let go of you
oh whatever happened to
mary jane
ooh ooh
ooh ooh

cause time has taken back
everything I thought we had

Mary Jane..

could it be
nothings gonna change
cause time has got a way of taking back

I heard this song on the CD player in Alan's car while on our way to church the other day. Somehow it tingle back fond memories of the older days. I believe everyone do have their own very story to tell or should I say some unforgettable "past" to keep.

Some stories are meant to be kept forever to yourself and you will definitely bury it or seal it in a box and throw away it together with the only key into the deep ocean & hoping one day no one would ever find it. However, some stories are meant to be shared of which I believe most of it would be the happy one cos hardly there is anyone would like to bring up sad and heart wreaking experiences to be shared.

From the start one would experiences ... One & only... etc... & "if LUCK & commitment side you all the way & no Shiet Happens" ... then... follows by the sound of ...

The wedding bells ... vows... & until the final agenda - till end do us part -

Everyone loves happy endings. Do you? I do =)

p/s: Click on the youtube feed below for the song. I'll upload the song onto my blog soonest. enjoy~

My break

2008-05-19T22:44:00.003+08:00

It has ended, dread tired, exhausted etc.

Reached home around 6pm.

Unforgettable experience spend with friends and some memorable "Pain" moments that I won't forget.

haha~ I think I shall stop here. Gonna take my rest and gonna post a long one this week.

Stay tune~ Gosh, there's so much delay in my post. I didn't even get to finish my previous two post but none the less, it was a great weekend for me.

Cya.

Labour Day

2008-05-06T00:25:00.005+08:00

On labour day, May the 1st was a public holiday. The weather was "HOT!!!" All I can describe the weather was omg! The weather for the past few days was torturing. I even sweat when I had my fan at it's limit blowing directly at my half naked body =D

But it was definitely a good day for the outdoors & so I hoped on my humble little vehicle with my camera strapped onto my shoulder with a task of shooting the great outdoor.

Heh heh~ Stay tune for more. I'd been rather busy lately so photos shall be posted kinda slow I guess plus the internet connection had contribute to the frustration gauge.

Till then, cya.

Argh... I need my break~~~

Weekends

2008-04-27T18:11:00.003+08:00

Ah....

I really do loves weekends...

In 19 days to go and I shall have my 4 days break - *Very short*. I just couldn't wait for that day to come.

Picture taken in "Taiping Lake, Perak" - 2008

While waiting for my short break in May, I'm hoping for another break through. Keeping my fingers crossed while holding onto my belief that my dreams & determination can drive me through.

Lately or I would say it happened since a while back...

I'm been *mood less* whenever I wanted to update my blog.

My mind just freeze at the point that whenever I wanted to blog and with my "Superb" (being sacrastic) internet connection I subscribed added more spices to the mood.

I had to stop here, kinda a short one cos I'm rushing out. I can't believe myself in those days I just spend hours to write a freaking long post and with this kind of internet connection??? I am just speechless when I come to think of it.

Maybe my patience had failed me these days. haha~

By the way, I shall post more pictures up soon.

Till then, cya =D

Just another posts for enlightenment.

2008-04-21T18:45:00.008+08:00

As April closing to an end. This would be my second post of the 2nd Quarter of the year. I had been busy lately of which that I couldn't find much time for myself and some other important things at hand.

Argh~~ Thank God for the wonderful weekends which had replenish my soul & mind. Each day had passed by even tougher for the past few weeks. For the past weeks made me ponder hard on so many things, my mind were overwhelmed by questions of such "Does it really matters anymore?" it was a body & mind torturing experience. Mentally fighting from within triggering the urge to commit indescribable & undesirable action against whom had claimed that they had won the battle.

Many have come and go but how many of them had left legacy for those who follows. Sometimes I beg to differ that when it is the right time /how can I do that? & etc.

In recent weeks, I hold on to what is truly dear to me. I understand what life has to offer together with it's bitter or sweet. God has his way =) It really did took me ages to knock my head against the wall. Somehow I realized.

Yesterday I took some time off to browsed through my collection of pictures which I took in the past few months when I was having my break at my home town (The land of the head hunters) & also while on my visit to Sibu for Yee Ting's wedding. I took the time to browse through each photos and add a bit of touches onto it.

Some life's moment that might never happens twice.

The newly wed walking down the aisle

Soon to be Doctors and Husband & Wife =D

One of the "Drama Queen" every school would have these days. haha~

Someone I knew since I am a toddler.

Finally someone caught red handed while trying to buy "Pisang Goreng" (Fried Banana) by the roadside.

Some memories are worthy to collect. May it be bitter nor sweet, it is meant to be make you stronger within & I believe it so.

..... & of cos Thanks for reading.

"Ping PongING"

2008-04-10T18:54:00.003+08:00

Anyone care to have a "ping pong" (table tennis) session with me?

I guess I had been playing ping pong for the past weeks including this week.

My terms for "PING PONGing" is referring to my current state.

Everything seems like a ball game to me. A minute your eyes are not on the balls, it comes with a bang. Racing with time each day and concentrating on the ball game is what surrounds us these days and there is no denial if you cannot catch up with it, you are definitely a gone case.

I'll be posting rarely due to current work load. I can't even find time for myself these days. Hopefully I do post at least once a week =) haha~

Stress is eating off part of brain and pressure is taking me away slowly.

Argh... How I wish I was at the cinema now watching - "Definitely, Maybe" !!!! You may go to youtube and search for the trailer yourself and if you love the sitcom "Two guys and a girl at a pizza place" I guess you will love this show too.

Till then, cya. I hope I can post more soon.

The bucket list

2008-03-30T17:20:00.003+08:00

Weekend always passes by very fast. However, I spend my Saturday doing much of nothing and I guess going out was not the option cos it was like cats and dogs out there the whole day. As the rain stopped in the evening, I had a short session of basketball with my mates and head to the "Mamak" for supper. Playing with a totally empty stomach gave me weak legs. LOL~

Soon after the supper, we visited the *LOCAL DvD vendor* wink* for dvd.

We bought a few dvds for the night.

We viewed...

"The Bucket List"

I would definitely say this movie is a sentimental drama that as a viewer touches your emotions. If you like drama and not just another typical Hollywood film, I guess this show is for you provided that you appreciate a movie that had less "Ooh Ha" in it but uses more of your comprehension side.

The performance from Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as expected were brilliance and top notch. The film is funny and it touches your feeling. I wouldn't want to elaborate any further as I hate spoilers too. Haha...

I highly recommend anyone to view this show "The Bucket List".

Maybe the poster should be like the following:-

Confused???

18th of March

2008-03-23T17:27:00.005+08:00

It was not exactly *my day* on that day (18th March) with my finger crossed & hoping nothing will go wrong.

1. I was late for work due to *I don't know why* that caused the massive jam.

2. I rushed to finish my work like a mad dog chasing after his own tail not knowing *why on earth should I be doing this at the first place* because I was informed that there will be a *last minute meeting* notice from the client.

3. I didn't had my lunch. On the bright side (Diet?? - I must) but the worse part was that I will have enough blood sugar to pump to my brain which indirectly made my day worsen when I talked rubbish during the meeting (*Joking - Maybe I thought too much - precaution is alway better than cure) and still I ate nothing except breathing in O2 and drinking H2O.

4. The day ended rather smooth. Thank God!

5. There was only one thing that came clear at first thought that I wanted to do. I need FOOD!

I reached home around 8:00am and settled some other matters. It was almost 9pm and it was time for my dinner.

Korean BBQ at Taman Desa, OLD KLANG ROAD.

Korean food always served with lots of side dishes.

The meats were cooked on the spot.

There was this little mechanical exhaust system that acted like a little chimney.

Muakz! It was just simply delicious!

The pancake is kinda like an egg omelet with mixtures of lots of vegetables and meat.

Kimchi is one of the *must order* dishes in Korean cuisine if you likes spicy food of cos.

Try to make a guess for the picture below:-

I think I'll just stop here for the time being cos is time to head home & stay tune for more.

The picture is referred to My next post:-
Halyconstudio raided my PLACE and KL.

Oh Sunday, don't leave...

2008-03-16T15:53:00.002+08:00

Music makes my day better plus...

I just happens to love Sundays =)

Realize - Colbie Caillat

V1:
Take time to realize
That your warmth is crashing down on me
Take time to Realize
That I am on your side  Didn’t I, didn’t I tell you

PC:
But I cant spell it out for you
No its never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

Ch:
If you just realize, what I just realized
Then we’d be perfect for each other and we’ll never find another
Just realize what I just realized,
we’d never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now

V2:
Take time to realize
Oh oh, I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by..
Didn't I tell you

PC:
Ch:
but…..

Its not the same, no its never the same
If you don’t feel it too

If you meet me half way, If you would meet me half way
It could be the same for you...

This song can be heard on my blog.

Did you ever miss out anything in your life?

Take time to realize...
If you just realize, what I just realized...

2008-03-16T00:53:00.007+08:00

What a week!!

I had been traumatized by what I had experienced for the past weeks which I had simply illustrated above. Somehow the four letter words was in total control when the silly dispute occurred. Pin pointed to the wall like a convict for no reason and for something that were totally absurd to begin with.

I just hope this would end soon. Life still needs to go on somehow.

Argh~~ I felt blue~ish and greenish at the same time...

A day in the Park.

2008-03-07T16:41:00.010+08:00

Last Sunday, I visited "Taman Botani" of Putrajaya. Lovely and *short* experience.

Opening Hours:
Park:
Daily - 7.00 am to 6.00 pm (including public holidays)

No fees required.

But somehow I reached the destination at approximately *5.00pm*. Dammit! darn useless *Road directional board* =) Without much hesitation I still proceed with my visit.

The canopy bridge of the Taman Botani. The sight was breathtaking. The wind is catching up and the mush mellow clouds were blown away.

Giving it's way for a heavy down pour.

Soon after we departed from the park, we stopped by one of the signage of Putrajaya itself.

Most of the people would parked their car by the road side to catch some fresh air as it was windy and cooling that particular evening.

Practically I was shooting non stop until my camera's battery ran low.

Below here were my last two shots.

Rain followed.

I soon left Putrajaya and head home.

I shall try to post more often and most of my post will be photos instead of words that make your head spin.

Feel free to comment =)

Enjoy and hope you all likes the photos I had taken.

Cont'd from my Last Post

2008-02-27T17:43:00.012+08:00

We opened the door gently hoping to have a peek on this little man, he was lying on his parent's bed peacefully without the care of the world.

Anxious to see him.

His father gently woke him up and carried him out to the living room. Introduction was made and the important news were, we are officially addressed as "Uncles" to this little man.

I guess he was anxious to see us too.

Apparently he was still in the mood of sleeping.

It took ages to make him smile, apparently our language does not make any senses to him and neither is our funny antics amused him so.

However, he still smiled at last =)

There's this shot when Jack tried, " Give me five!'.

His reaction was funny~

Cling onto his dad's shoulder tightly, we tried to play "peekaboo" with this little guy.

But in his case, ignorance works just fine.

We soon left the premises before the massive jam hits the highway. We say our goodbye to the little guy and promised we would drop by again someday.

Life is a gift, a gift from God.

Life like a Journey

2008-02-24T13:21:00.006+08:00

A lot of people thought of life as a journey and it is a metaphor of Life in short.

Some may speaks of Life as a wheel. As for me, I would always put it as Life like a journey.

We can think of life's journey in lots of different ways. Starting from our life at younger stage where we experiences life is taking us to a destination with many adventures. Along the way, Life may felt like an ocean voyage on board on "Captain Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl" sailing across unknown seas where storms occasionally toss us about as we seek the safety of calm shores and treasures of unknown world.

As in the movie, Forest Gump, the character often says that, "Life is like a box chocolates. You never know what you will get." Take a chance and see what happens.

Life itself provide us a vision of the life process and help us to understand what is required for the essential tasks of psychological and spiritual growth.

What metaphors fit your life best?

Do they help you or cause problems and limit your choices?

It's possible to change, but it's not easy.

Last week, I visited a close friend. I always find his place peaceful and relaxing as I had visited him several times before but however, this time I had a sole purpose - to visit his first born child.

We had been best friend since our college time. From the day I knew him, we had been staying under the same roof for 4 years, going to church & having tons of fun together but not until he got married last year.

I'm glad to see him as he is today. Happy and as cheerful as always.

I would always remember the day when we finished studying late at night and three of us would have our usual tea break at the "Mamak Stall", we would always take a stroke at a small park near our house. All sort of topics would arise from our discussion.

From the smallest details to the biggest gossip that happens among the 16 person who live under the same roof as ours or we would discuss how could we help among us how to court that one girl that we liked individually. All sorts of topics were thrown out at each other. It was a never ending discussion.

The one and only topics that I remembered clearly till these days making no exception to the rest. It was the 'Big Question', "Who among us will be tying the knot first?"

Life is like a journey, fate doesn't controls where you should go and what you should do. Your Life is in your hand, just like a captain on a voyage sailing to open seas.

For me, GOD is my captain and I am the co-pilot. =)

"The Future Belongs To Those Who Believe In The Beauty Of Their Dreams"

What I did for Chinese New Year 08

2008-02-18T16:21:00.025+08:00

Chinese New year 08 falls on the 7th of February, this year the festive celebration was kind of out of the ordinary because I had a friend's wedding to attend on the 3rd day of cny. This post will be a long one & please bear with me here cos..

This is one of those road trip that ONLY happens once in a lifetime.

"4th 1/2 mile Siao lung pao"

The morning kicked off around 7am when I received a message that one of the original crew that was suppose to follow us on the road trip ditched us last minute - "FLY KITES" -

Neitherless the plan still proceed as it was and so my mum send my friend & I to Ej's home (our rally point). The weather is kind of discouraging, it was raining heavily. The convoy to Sibu consist of me, Joseph, Ej & Adeline. Apparently three of us settled down nearby a coffee shop for breakfast while waiting for Adeline as usual (The same "Drama-Queen" is late as usual).

We hit the road approximately around 9am. The weather was cool and windy. It was pouring outside. We switched off the air-condition and opened our window to let the cool air inside. The whole trip lasted 5 hours to reach Sibu. We stopped by for mother nature calls & fuel etc.

Amazingly it was not as tiring as we thought it would be as we chatted all the way & we laughed out loud (LOL) none stop & 'THANK GOD!' without Ej hitting the E-brakes when Joseph jumped up when he saw a herd of "GU-sSs" (cows) by the road side.

The journey almost comes to it's destination with a massive jam before the bridge that linked to Sibu. The waiting & the queue was killing us. Everyone was impatience and started to come down from their vehicles and walked towards to what had caused the long crawl.

And "YA", thanks to Ej and his brilliant idea who asked Joseph & I to be one of those busybody. We walked nearly 1KM back & forth.

It was a sad scene when we found out what had caused the bad crawl.

There was a terrible accident involving two vehicles that crashed head on. Unfortunately, there was one casualty and a seriously wounded. It was a sad scene on the second day of chinese new year. I believe both were Chinese because we happens to notice lots of red packet (Ang Pao) scattered on the floor.

The terrible crawl lasted for an hour.

Joseph looking in from outside of the car

We soon arrived Sibu approximately in the afternoon around 3pm, we headed straight to have our late lunch at KFC. Apparently everywhere is a long queue especially the fast food outlets in town because most of the cafe is not opened during the festive season.

My stomach rumbling and my blood pressure rose high enough to coke oxygen from entering my brain when I saw 2 guys jumped queue. He acted like he owns the place. Fu yoh~

He turned around and said," Lu wu lighter bor?"("Do you have a lighter?"), the guy behind answered,"bor!"(I don't have). With an expression of disgust he replied back, "heh!, liaw liaw bor shin hu ke!"(Argh, Everyone doesn't smoke!).

I almost smacked his head on the spot. I just had one word for him, "bor dak che!"(Uneducated)

Finally right after our chicken meal, we head off to our Inn.

Unbelievable comfortable and superb price!

Eden Inn, Standard room for RM42.00 per night, Two king size bed with a bathroom attached, air conditioned & Television.

Just right after we settled down ourselves, Joseph started his habit of shooting everything at sight... hm.. I'm just anticipating the joy of photography so that's why you get to see lots of picture in this blog and this post =)

Joseph Teo in action

Here again, we never will missed out the SFW action of the day. It was like 7 years ago we actually did this kind of things together.

Before & after Joseph was dressed up with a toiletry by Ej and he was too hooked on with his camera that he didn't even noticed I was taking the shots and Ej was busying having fun.

Everyone was exhausted from the whole 5 hours trip, we freshened up & decided to take a short nap before going off for dinner tonight.

Just a month ago, we heard of the infamous "Personal friend" incident that hits our country. Here is our re make version of it. Sort of I guess.

"Bwhahahahaha... muahahaha... " was most of it.

Take 1:
Oh my gosh.. What have I done?

Take 2:
hmpf... switched position I guessed.. Like this or like that? Common! Stop moving too much!

Take 3:
It was all wrong, so we guessed that we ought to start off with some story line first before hitting the main stream. So we agreed, we started off with the touching the shoulders and leg over each other buttocks. I think we started to get the heat up.

Take 4:
We hit the road, the groping started but the struggling prevailed.
The story ends here.

No body were harmed during the production. Just two guys trying to reach for something special within.

Thanks for tuning to SFW.tv just another original production of some of the wackiest moment in life when you least expected it.

Back to our story. Day 1 ended up with movie late at night right after we shopped at one of the malls for toiletry and snacks & movies. Jamie was kind enough to borrow us her laptop for movies. The movie lasted about 2 hours and we end up in bed around 3am in the morning but thanks to Ej, we couldn't sleep not until 4am in the morning. Ah yes, we saw a mice taking a stroke in our room. That wraps up for Day 1 in Sibu, 2nd Day of CNY.

Day 3 of CNY - THE BIG DAY

The famous 'Kampua' of Sibu

We started off with something simple for breakfast as we are rushing for the wedding mass at 10am. Everyone woke up around 8am in the morning and had our breakfast around 9am.

Apparently everyone was still in the stage of blurred. Luckily we manage to find the church and we quickly settled down inside waiting for the mass to start. Joseph just couldn't stay still & with his camera strapped on his shoulder, he start snapping picture like there's no tomorrow.

The wedding mass started straight after the clocks turned 10am. It was definitely a beautiful sight indeed the atmosphere was filled with happiness and joy. Everyone rose up quickly to welcome the bride maid and the bride. The bride just look beautiful on her wedding day.

The mass proceed accordingly without further delay, the mass started with sermon from the pastor. I couldn't actually concentrate well during the sermon. I just managed to hear pieces here and there. I was distracted by the like of Joseph who are too engross in taking pictures non stop and eventually he sat just right behind me.

Soon after the sermon, the wedding ceremony reached it's peak when both bride and groom exchange their wedding vows =)

A traditional Catholic wedding vow would be of the following:

"I, ____, take you, ____, for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part."

A Methodist wedding vow would be of the following:

I, _____, take thee ____, to be my wife/husband, to have and to hold,
from this day forward, for better – for worse, for richer – for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part,
and thereto I pledge thee my faith.

Neither less, both represents a significant similarity which is "To love each other till death do us part." Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong =)

The exchange of wedding rings. Apparently while shooting this picture, I noticed that Yee Ting got a hard time on putting the wedding ring on her groom. That's a funny sight. She must had panicked and same goes for the groom when it was his turn. However, every gesture both of them made, I always noticed a broad smile on their faces.

Soon after that, the final blessing was conducted by the pastor for the newly wed. They humbled themselves and knelt down before the altar and received the final blessing from the pastor.

The Pastor said to the groom," Now you may KISS your bride." And I pronounce both of you Husband and Wife".

There was lighting of candles right after the wedding ceremony. Sorry the picture is a bit dark. No flash used.

The mass had ended, let us go in peace and to love and serve =) and happily ever after.

The story doesn't end here though.

The tossing of bouquet.

Next we proceed to the wedding reception. Kinda weird for me though cos this is the first time I attended a lunch wedding reception. The reception starts at 1230pm noon. We reached there early so we took a stroke around a nearby mall.

When the clocks ticked 1230pm noon, we hustled through the crowds to our designated tables. The restaurant consists of three floors which were all fully occupied for wedding reception that day. Apparently on that particular day was a good day for Chinese marriage which I believe so.

The reception started with a long wait... as usual Malaysian Time.

Someone was so eager to wait for the food to be served somehow trying to wipe of saliva from dropping from his mouth. hmppf...

Just before lunch is being served, camera was flashing non stop and same goes for me. Warning for the next few pictures will be in monochrome style of picture but I just love

monochrome picture. Maybe the age is catching up =)

Jamie & Ej

Gossiping non stop I guess??? =)

This shot was purposely taken to capture the pretty chick right behind Ej. I couldn't manage to capture the face though.

And there's this picture of Ej being shock and playing noob of the picture outcome he took with Jo's DSLR.

Adeline with her bling bling on her ears and as usual trying to attracts bees. BuraGU! (as in 'WHAT' in Korean).

What does the picture above tells? Oh my God, where's the food?
Or isn't just a simple Grace for the food or for the people who prepared it?

The food was served shortly. There's no picture of foods taken. In short, the food was decent. Feel free to browse www.halyconstudio.com/blog for more pictures - Joseph's blog.

It was 7 dishes in total if memory serves me correct. We was told this particular restaurant serves authentic 'Foochow' cuisine. We had a great time and thanks to Yee Ting for inviting us.

Sorry for the blurred image. These were the SMK Sungai Maong batch 2000 5sc1 group who attended the wedding. Congratulations upon your wedding, Sim Yee Ting. We wishes you the best of everything and all the best in all your future undertaking. Cheers~

Just right after the wedding reception, it was still early and it was only 3pm so we headed to the nearest park which was referred by Ej as the riverside of Sibu, "The Heritage Walk."

Swans statues stand guard all over Sibu as a symbol of its peace-loving people. Somehow you will get to see lots of swans statues all around Sibu. Not so sure what is really means. Why not you try to google it and let me know. haha~

Well, we just have our heavy lunch so we took a stroke around and is Ej & Jamie is kind enough to let me shoot them...

Here's a few of the outcome and I hope you all liked it:

Both Doctors to be couple =)

Ej never told me how he manage to seal the deal. I guess the following picture tells us much about the whole process what actually happened right after that..

The victory sign "V"

Anyone noticed it was a fake? Well, it is. =) but I love the outcome of the picture.

We finished the photo shoot around 4pm, we were dread tired. Sleepless night, thanks to Ej. We head back to our Inn to rest and freshen up for dinner. Ah well, it didn't ended up as we plan. While Adeline was asleep and Ej went visiting his future in-laws, Jo and I played 2 person UNO.

Oh ya, we ended being scolded by Adeline because...

The atmosphere was intense...

"Shiet!" I couldn't take it! I need to bath first before we continue!" claimed me.

The atmosphere was intense due to two heavily smelled body odor filled the entire room (jk)

With three cards still remands at hand, cold sweat begin to drip slowly down my cheeks, I was anxious and indecisive to throw which card bearing the thoughts that I might throw the wrong cards which favors Joseph.

A loud screech sound suddenly stunned me from center meters apart and nearly drew me deaf, "Draw 4!!! Yee HEEheeHee!!!", screamed Joseph with a devilish look.

"WEW!!!!", yelled from the bed across. Someone was annoyed by the screeching sound Joseph just made.

Ignoring the remake made, we continued our pursue for glory.

I looked at my cards and confidently draws...

"You are so screwed pal", as I threw another draw 4 which will total up to 8 cards that needs to be draw for him.

Enlighten by the card I threw. I noticed smirk expression on his face, he yelled on top of his voice and threw out a decisive card.

"Draw 4! & UNO!" yelled Joseph.

"Bwhahahahahahhaha! Now you are so screwed dude!" a provoking remake made by Joseph that stunned me to silent.

As I glanced slowly on the deck of cards at hand, I had only two cards remanding while he is on the other hand had only one left. As I know if I threw the wrong card means I would definitely lose. This is the decisive moment. To glory or perish is this card to decide.

I placed the decisive card out slowly. I know I would win this! I will wipe that smile from your face!

"UNO!" yelled me making it clear to Jo that I had my last card at hand. The sound of Jo's heart was pounding hard onto his chest like it was about to burst.

"WaHAHAHAHA! EeEyayayaGagagaGA! shouted Joseph while doing his karate kick towards me kicking me off the bed.

A pillow came flying our way shortly after the commotion made. Apparently Adeline couldn't take our nuisance anymore and shouted out loud at us.

Well, in the end we wrapped up the game without any winner and we rested for a while as we wait for Ej to pick us up for dinner.

Give a guess what was the decisive card that I threw out at last?
It was the fourth Draw 4 card. Total 16 cards needs to draw for Joseph.

At Syabu Syabu where steam are everywhere.

We had our dinner approximately around 8pm, we visited the Cyber while waiting for available seats is this restaurant called "SYABU SYABU." It's a steamboat restaurant and the uniqueness of this restaurant is that you get to have you own pot to steam your desire food at the correct amount for your own consumption. It was worth every single sen. We enjoyed our dinner.

Good eh~!

chop~ chop~

Argh~ It is so fulfilling

We rounded day 2 all exhausted and went to bed as early as we can. 1am in the morning. =)

DAY 3 - HOME SWEET HOME

Well, that's the expression of a driver who just laughed too much during the road trip. Apparently I guess he is having stomach discomfort after all the laughter he got from the crazy antic generated from the passengers behind.

The whole trip was like driving two kids behind asking daddy to play two different CD's. The Barney songs or the whatsoever. For this case, it was GOO goo Dolls, Track 13 for 4 times and the other was Boyzone please... hmppf..

And of cos every road trip we have this kind of incident happens.

I guess sight seeing is a must for emergency...

Opps~ watch your steps!!!

On our way back, we witnessed another accident. This time the crawl wasn't as bad as before. Just a short crawl. We saw a car plunged down into the drain.

On our way, we managed to visit Mount Hosanna Chapel. It was a relieved that the Chapel was opened on that particular day but the weather is not really good.

We stopped by for a while since it had been ages we visited the place. It was kind of hard to imagine that it was 9 years back since my last visit.

I'm glad and relieve to be stepping my feet on Mount Hosanna soil again after so many years which brings back fond memories of younger days.

We reached back home individually around 6pm. Exhausted but worth it.

I think I'll stop here. It had been a rather long post. I'll wrap up this post just like that. There's more to be shared during this road trip which I wouldn't be mentioning in this post. It will take ages to finish. Again, I would like to say this again.

This is one of those road trip that ONLY happens once in a lifetime.

Thanks for reading. This wrap up my CNY 2008.

On V-Day itself.

2008-02-14T21:27:00.018+08:00

February the 14th - 2008.

I had my first Teh Tarik Ais (Cold Ice Milk Tea) after my return back to KL. The weather was fine but something doesn't seems right on this particular day. I'm missing something I guess.

D-Lite - Teh Ais (Ampang Park)

The thrill of eating 'Asam Laksa' early in the morning for breakfast makes my day better and beautiful.

The day was indeed long for me. I had a long queue at the bank & it made my day even longer without me noticing the time flies ahead.

D-Lite - Asam Laksa (Ampang Park)

The clocks was ticking fast as a friend of mine needs to get ready for tonight and I happens to be needed to assist him in search for his valentine's gift.

Necklace, bracelet, watches, perfume & etc ran through our mind in search for an ideal gift. However, rings with carats of diamond strike our mind but reality creeps in and slap us hard.

Rather than of purchasing the above mentioned perhaps something different

Instead we found the "Ultimate Jukebox", the greatest invention of it's kind so far as we all know. The smallest and lightest jukebox ever made in history (That's what I called it).

The "IPOD".

IPOD NANO

The purchase was quick as my friend needs to rush back to get ready for his big night and most importantly he needs to look for a florist- a bouquet for his valentine.

Bouquet brochure.

We dropped by a florist shop somewhere near our place and he ordered his bouquet to be ready and collected later in the evening. Somehow I remembered my last purchased of a bouquet of roses was years back. Too bad I couldn't got the chance to snap his bouquet of pink roses which caused him a bomb.

Jack getting ready with the gift

Finally, I guess everything is set and ready for him & of cos Godspeed, I hope you scores tonight, pal! I hope to hear "good news" soon!

Then again, I'm here blogging & I bet you guessed the whole picture already. How I wish I could say the following to that someone right now...

"And even if the sun refused to shine,
Even if romance ran out of rhyme,
You would still have my heart until the end of time,
You're all I need, my love, my valentine."

Cubicle 24/7 again hereby wishes every couples a Happy Valentines Day.

On this very day I would say...

2008-02-14T02:38:00.009+08:00

Dear,

This heart felt antidote touched me recently…

It stroked me and it seemed an appropriate theme to share with you for Valentines Day or any day whenever love is needed.

There was this well-known speaker who anticipated hundred of audience and she started off by holding up a RM20 bill. She asked, "Who would like this RM20 bill?" Hands started going up.

She said, "I am going to give this RM20 to only 1 of you, but first, let me do this. She proceeded to crumple up the RM20.

She then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, She replied, "What if I do this?" She dropped it instantly right after the question on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with her shoe.

She picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

Then she said, “My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth RM20. “

Lots of times in lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by Life and the circumstances that come our way. We strongly felt as though we are worthless. No matter what had happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

It came clear to me about this story might be that our own worth and our worth to each other is beyond the relative.

The ego suffers when life does not go the way it thinks it should be.
The ego will project feelings of loneliness and unloved, worthless, and powerless.
The ego loves to wallow in the negative.
This is the time to reach to the transcendent reality, of whom and what we are beyond the physical.

The transcendent experience of reality could be described as LOVE without conditions and limits.

Did the thoughts of why someone would risk their very own life to save a strangers life ever stroked you?

Maybe it might be because, at an initial level, there is the inner knowledge that we are all the same, we are each other.

Indeed we are one and we belong to each other.

Cubicle 24/7 wishes all the lovely dovey out there a Happy Valentines day =)

p/s: I'm so lonely & tiny on this particular day. yaks!
Posts about my trip to my friend's wedding will be up next.

It's Playtime

Happy Chinese New Year 2008!

I'll be going back hometown to celebrate this festive season approximately in 2 days from now. I can't wait to go back. It's rather simple to explain the reason behind all the excitement cos I will get to have my long holiday break! Finally! Gosh!...

& I guess I'll be doing a lot of these soon, kindly refer to the ad(Youtube feed) below, you'll get a clearer picture what I'm about to do in near future :-

I'll stop here right now. It has been a long day today. I mean yesterday if you are referring to the time now.

Anyway, thanks for reading. It's really the time to knock myself out!

New Year Holiday P2

2008-01-19T16:23:00.000+08:00

Continue from my last post, kindly refer to the last 2nd picture. Did anyone spotted something from just across the lake where a few coconut trees are at sight . If you happens to notice that there's a couple taking their wedding pictures. I just happens to spot them and with my 12x optical zoom lens to capture that moment.

Life can be fill with so many unexpected things happening, a constant thing in life is all about change. What can we do about it? =)

Did you ever ponder why so much that had already happens in your life and the funny part is that you still can't grasp hold of the truth behind it. What is best to be done and to live your life to the fullness?

For me, I hope living through each day without any regrets.

How about you?

The weather is just right for outdoor activities on that particular day. I just love the outdoor with my camera strapped on my shoulder. From the weather forecast that day, morning - bright & shiny, noon - bright & shiny, evening- thunder storm.

Only one thought ran through my mind, I need to finish up and get going before the rain hits hard but with my left brain telling me that it won't rain based on the forecast, I just proceed without haste that I would just enjoy my day stroking and snapping photo around.

The bamboo leaves swung gently, I was indeed relieve because apart of the striking sun, I have some breeze to cool down the heat. I guess rain is approaching and so I started to head back, packed my things and off I go.

Some thoughts stumble me while I'm taking this lovely bamboo scene. There's a women in her late 20's I guess whom I thought was apparently having her usual jogging session then a while later...

This scene follows:-

A guy was chasing from behind on a bicycle shouting out, "Don't run so fast, I can't catch up with you!'.

At first, I dropped my jaw laughing out loud inside saying, "Oh my gawd, you are on a bicycle and she is just running with her two foot!"

I just smile when I saw this funny scene. Sometimes in life we tend to overlook opportunities and chances that are right in front of us. What actually did we miss out? When we are aware of this missing part, we will run and chase after it... but to our dismay it may just be gone and is already far beyond our reach. =)

I'm sorry that I've not been updating lately. Due to bad internet connection, I wasn't able to upload most of the picture which I had tried several times and days. I'll wrap up this new year holiday's post on my next post soon. I guess I'll stop here for the time being.

At the same time, cubicle24/7 wishes everyone...

"Happy Chinese New Year 2008."

New Year Holiday P1

2008-01-14T18:08:00.000+08:00

The day started early as I carried my backpack and head to the nearest train station to head north.

Excitement runs down my spine with the feeling just like a child who had never sat on a train before. It was freezing cold that particular morning due to the heavy down pour earlier, inside the train was cold too and I was left hugging my backpack tightly to beat the coldness.

People slowly filled the train cabin. I was anxious for the train to start. Choo~choo~ cho~ to my destination. Moments later, the train started to heat up and off we go.

The clock was ticking, the sun started to crawl back out from the dark grey sky. Bright and blazing the glare it was shining through the wind screen of the train compartment.

There’s another 4 hours to go till I reach my destination so I grabbed a book from my backpack and sat quietly. The train dashed rapidly on the rail track generating some very unpleasant sound to the ears and with the addition of some disturbance within the train cabin of children whining resulting to the thought of sleeping through the journey subsides.

I was thinking...

What is the moment in life that you think is the best place and time to do some reflections? A handful from the working communities would say, “I need some peace!” Thus, reflection seldom comes into the picture not until one drop into hot soups or even worse they just put the blame on life itself.

I guess the greatest peace you can find is always what we call “The Peace” within but how many of you had found that kind of peace?

Oh my gosh! It took forever to reach there. I guess it was worth the wait after all. Hours later I found myself lying beside a lake gazing at smash mellow clouds.

The times spend just by looking at my surrounding does make lots of different. Every single posture and gesture a person makes significantly represent something. It is just a matter of how we notice them and the question "If we notice that simple movement of a human body".

A simple gesture of a person can means a thousand words.

But I guess I won’t be seeing this sight in this part of the world =)

New Year 2008

2008-01-10T15:03:00.000+08:00

A new year unfold a new chapter and opportunities for everyone and making no exception for me. This year definitely marks an important year to me.

Resolution???

What's that? haha~

Making a list of resolution for a new year is easy and with a pen at hand, it is easily written with just a thought or two but striking it off one by one with your pen or pencil is entirely different story to tell.

So what's your resolution and how will your determination carries your through this 12 months?

Mine? I hope and strive for it to come all in place this year 2008.

- That would be me in action-

I hereby wishes everyone a Happy New Year 2008 and all the best in all of your future undertaking this year - Cubicle 24/7

I know....

2008-01-10T13:56:00.000+08:00

Ya.. I know.. I know..

It been rather late to post my Christmas picture 2007. At least I'm back with some posts.
Been quite busy after the new year holidays but today happens to be a public hol so I planned to take some time off to do some posting. It won't be a long one I guess. Just some random picture that I took during the festive season.

'The Pavilion" - One of the prestigious mall in the heart of the golden triangle -

On the 15th December, my mum and aunties visited Kay El with just one sole intention - "Shopping". It's obvious that women likes to shop. I'm saying that only a handful of them thought otherwise but majority of them do likes to shop.

And I know all the guys out there agree so with me.

The spacious interior design creates the expression of how grand and prestige the place is. The center court was staged with an enormous Christmas tree lighted up with fabulous fiber optics lights to catch the eye of passer by and shoppers.

Well, that's marketing in short.

"The singing tree" - as reported by the media.

Choirs slowly filled the gigantic tree from sopranos to bass. Each one of them stood their place with confident while the conductor stood proudly on the stage waiting to perform her magic touch. The conductor swing her magic wand gently and slowly the sound of angels filled the air, on lookers and shoppers stood still gazing with their mindless thought while being carried away by the superb performance of the choirs.

For me, I'm busy snapping picture. =)

- Sopranos - =)

Soon after my visit to the Pavilion, we dropped by Starhill Gallery. To my disappointment, there's not much of Christmas decoration because every year they do have one of the best decoration in town. I really don't know why there isn't any much this year.

The gigantic chandelier of Starhill gallery-

On the 23rd of December 2007, I visited One Utama. I was told that it was a fantastic Christmas scene there and so I traveled there.

-The Last Supper - ?!?!

Apparently I stumble across this sight inside a boutique selling women accessories. hm...

The gigantic Drummer boy- aha~

Just wow~ to describe the center stage decoration. Tons of people flocks to the area to take pictures and kids rush their parents on site to witness these fabulous stage. There is no doubt that I was amazed too. Last year was the Mickey mouse theme but this year was totally the unexpected.

From the little drummer boy to the enormous one moved and turned by the help of mechanical devices. It's like a giant robotic mechanism. You know, Transformer the movie was a hit last year, I guess it brought the impact to lots of people - consumers in short -

I guess that's it for my Christmas posts. I wanna cut it short because I do not intend to drag it too long either and about my Christmas eve dinner. I guess I'll pass it. I spend it in a Japanese buffer restaurant "Shogun" with my family and friends and I can tell you it worth every single penny on it. About the food, I'm too busy with the foods and there's no picture taken. =) Nothing fancy.

Then again, Christmas is all about family, sharing & the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The 4th Day Of Christmas Morning

2007-12-29T02:16:00.001+08:00

On the early morning of the 4th day of Christmas, 29th December 2007.

As I lay my butt comfortably on my broken chair while seeing my reflected self on the monitor. Gosh~ the panda eye is back. Apparently I just came back from work around 1a.m in the morning. I just can't restrain myself from switching on the computer and internet.

Well, I couldn't and didn't blog since my last post dated early December due to one cause "Laziness" and of cos work plays an important contribution to my daily life schedule.

I ain't gonna posts a long one here and in fact I will be out from town tomorrow and I shall be back on next year!!! 2008!!!

Oh my gawd, time flies like there's no tomorrow. Just a wink of an eye, a new year unfold. I guess this will be my last post for this year. I shall come back approximately on the 2nd of January 2008. Behold more photos shall come your way and it shall include the late entry of Christmas 2007. Well... by then, it's still Christmas - 9th Day of Christmas -

Off I go then...

By the way, I'm really liked her...

I would say this frankly...

Upon every season of Christmas - I shall indulge you once again and again and again...

The returning seasonal holiday beverages, Starbucks Mocha Praline Frappuccino blended coffee.

Mid Valley Megamall Christmas Deco. Center Stage.

As the year come near to it's end and with just days to left, I guess everyone is looking forward for a great year ahead. It make no exception to me either. Christmas comes first and it last for 12 days and entering the new year with celebration across the globe.

Now the favorite question is:???

What is Christmas???

Some may still ponder upon the meaning endlessly without a clue.

Mid Valley Megamall Christmas Deco. Center Stage.

AND

What has left for the poor nor the homeless on the day when Christmas is celebrated throughout the Globe?

What is to be shared during this festive season of thank giving? It is kind of sad to admit that for some people out there whom still can't grasp the true meaning of the celebration.

AS

Where are you Christmas?...
Sang by Cindy Lou in the movie "The Grinch who stole Christmas".

Mid Valley filled with orange like lantern that lit up the spirit of Christmas

What is Christmas means personally to you since childhood?

Some may kept near at heart about their beautiful memories of Christmas and some may recollect back some heart wrenching experience.

So what's your Childhood's Christmas like?

You ask mine...

Family in short

The trees glitter as angelic sound of Christmas carol filled the air..
My heart was kept up high and my spirit is rushed in with life again..

However, every time...
The thoughts of spending Christmas alone always send shivers straight down my spine..

Have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas?

Nah~I don't think that will work out fine for me.

As the Fairy whisper in the mid of Christmas preparation..
A Lot shop till they drop and some may be as stingy as a miser..

OoOOr being a smart consumer which equal to ...

Being both mentioned above..

Christmas07 is just around the corner. So how's your preparation?

By the way...

May you all have a Blessed Christmas & Happy Holiday!

p/s: I just love holidaySs

The Season of Joy

2007-12-03T17:04:00.000+08:00

Christmas tree deco in Time Square

The trees are up and the decoration filled the malls anticipating the season towards Christmas & as for me, the joyous occasion of the year. The year mark at it's end opening the gate to Year 2008.

The Garden

The Garden at Mid Valley, one of the new malls in town. I heard the Christmas deco is up in Mid Valley. As always, mid valley always have the best deco aside from Star Hill Gallery. I just can't wait to snap some photo.

Putrajaya Mosque

Apparently I went to putrajaya to snap some photos though it's kinda late at night. Eventually I took some quick snaps then I head straight home soon after.

A night at Putrajaya

The radiance of the moon give reflection to all of its surrounding when gaze upon the lake.

I just can't wait for Christmas to arrive =)

Mud Legion

2007-11-25T01:16:00.000+08:00

The day kicked off very early that particular Sunday. Four of us woke up approximate around 5:45am in the morning. Waking up at such time was kinda torturing because we all slept rather late. Despite everything, we moved out to meet up with the rest of the gang, Ah Fook and Rachel for breakfast before heading off to Kluang.

Alan just love picking his nose while driving & with everything ready to go, Kenny and Alan each bought themselves pants that fit right for the occasion.

Mudtrekker Adventure

We reached our destination earlier than expected. Our game scheduled to be at 9am and we reached 1/2 hour earlier. Apparently no morning crap for Alan this time. We warned him to take his crap before setting off early that morning.

"MP-5 look alike Paintball Marker."

The early sight of this merchandise on the counter pumps up our urge to shoot someone as much as owning one of this babes ourselves.

The hut that protects the defenders and the hunters assault endlessly from the outside.

The sun is up and the weather is just right for this kind of sports. hm... can it be consider a sports? Well, I guess for most people who first encounter and who had first hand on experience on the field would prefer it to be a called a hunting game instead of categorized it under "Sports". Neither less for us four, we would always prefer it to be called "Real life Counter strike game" and in short, a hunting game.

Kenny and Alan checking out the new terrain, newly added bunkers & etc.

Strategies after strategies, we always ended up on different teams. Alan and I would be in the different team this time separated from Jacky and Kenny despite the urge of wanting to be together. It kinda unfair this time, of all our team member, Alan & I was the so called veteran and the rest was newbies compared to Kenny & Jacky's group that comprises of several veteran and a hand full of newbies only. Alan & I was definitely outnumbered in terms of experience. You know... shits happens...

Jacky & Kenny trying to simulate the feel before game on. The trees and new added bunkers provide more chances for survival. We explored the terrain well.

The zinc hut had always been the favorite route for most people. It's well covered and the direction of the sunlight hit creates a perfect shade for stealth mode and element of surprise. There was a match of "Capture the flag " where Alan, Lee & I rushed towards the zinc hut as an assault point, we suppressed the enemies like theres no tomorrow hoping to gain some opening for either one of us to rush for the enemies flag. Hundred of pallets pelting on the zinc hut generated sound like non-stop thunders. The situation got worsen when Alan's marker was jam, I immediately switched marker with him because he was in the midst of suppressing the enemies for Lee and he was running for the enemies flag!! The timing was crucial, bullets were flying everywhere. We have to keep Lee alive! The glorious moment came shortly and the smell of victory was sweet and it were ours to take. Cheerios!!!~

Kenny & Alan with their bruises. Trust me, it really hurts when you got shot in the distance of less than 1 meter apart.

The group of 16 ended the game short and fast. To be frank, we were dissatisfied with the amount of adrenaline we had compared to our previous game we played with the a group of 40. It was a war out there neither less there's should be nothing to complain this time because we all shared the happiness & joy of shooting someone and releasing some of our "Dark side". It was a weekend worth spending at Mudtrekker and to be part of the mud legion.

Food on Ordinary day

2007-11-19T20:55:00.000+08:00

Basically I convinced myself to cook something instead of eating out...

So I went to the nearest super mart to get some stuffs to cook after work.

I didn't ponder much on what to cook, nothing fancy I suppose and with the thought that I still have some left over rice in the fridge. ( *Preserved for one night only*). The words "FRIED RICE" enlightened me immediately.

So fried rice it is then! Speed Fried Rice indeed!

The ingredient is simple: French long beans, chillies and some garlics. Preparing the ingredient was simple and fast.

Marinate the chicken breast meats with oyster sauce, pepper and add in some water and refrigerant it for an hour or more dependent how much time you can restrain your hunger. hah!

While waiting, wash and finely chop the French long beans. Lightly beat 2 eggs - dependent on how many person that you are serving - with the salt and pepper.

After an hour, heat a wok or frying pan and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add in the garlic and cook well then add in the meat that are finely chop and stir fried it. Next add in the long beans and cook it well followed by adding the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are slightly scrambled but not too dry.

Add another 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the rice. Stir fry for a few minutes to break it apart. Add some soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired.

When the rice is heated through, add in the finely chop chillies and mix it throughly and minutes later you are ready to serve.

It took me an hour & 10 minutes to cook. An hour for the wait - meat plus preparing the ingredient. 10 minutes to cook everything. and less than 5 minute to finish the meal. hahaha... Till then, more coming soon.

"Samhain Night"

2007-10-31T11:54:00.000+08:00

Halloween is officially today, 31st October 2007 and with less anticipation for the festival seen on the streets or anywhere else in Malaysia. I would say it kinda disappointing. HA! Sad to say that I'm not into this festival too. Lately I've to stay up late for work. I guess I'm been tight down with too much work lately. I couldn't find much time for myself these days.

I guess that it would be great if I get to try out all those halloween costumes to the costume parties, trick-treating, bonfires, visiting "Haunted houses" and viewing horror films. Hm.. I guess I can try viewing horror films but not visiting Haunted Houses. ahaha~
I might shit my pant if I ever see a ghost, who knows right. Don't laugh, You might to. heh!

The festival of Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain. It is celebrated among the Celts of Ireland, Irish. Throughout history, the Scottish immigrants carried the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.

So what's your ideal costumes for tonight? .. I guess Kenny sia already had something in mind.

Tell me, who wouldn't want to have this costumes?! 300! - Spartan costumes. of cos you need a decent build to wear this kind of costumes. You know what I mean. hah!

Macho type of costumes

For those who enjoyed being wacky, I guess people like Adrian fits this great! lol!

Austin Power costumes

Or maybe you can try out witty captain jack sparrow costumes, mate! I think it's rather cool. I guess the costumes do comes with the wig with it & supposing if it's not then I suppose you can afford a wig. FIY, a wig doesn't comes cheap. By all means, you can always try investing on a mop. It should just do the job fine. haha.

Captain Jack Sparrow Costumes

But then again.... I guess not anyone out there would have a chance to get hold of this one...

Imagine one day (On Halloween Night) some kids wearing this mask and knocks on your door steps asking for candy (Halloween-Treat-treating). - My Gosh, the thought of it just gave me the instant goosebumps - ^.^

"It's not sexual, we're going to sleep -
I tuck them in and I put a little music on and when it's story time I read a book"

p/s: story time heh...

The Raya HolidaysSs....

2007-10-16T15:38:00.000+08:00

I thought it was a four days ordeal...

I thought I would rot at home doing nothing, probably some blogging and etc... or gaming my brains out during the night with my friends... but somehow I manage to spend my time with someone...

It was a holiday with her...

Staring endlessly at some Television kid shows.. I guess kids todays love the Purple dinosaur show (Bunny the Purple dinosaur) so much and to compare to my time, all we got was this big yellow bird (Big Bird in Sesame Street) ...

Ahahaha... adorable!... apparently I need to set my camera ISO very high to capture picture of her cos she just won't stay still... causing noise issues to my picture quality...

Sometimes she would be very noisy and a headache to everyone...

She noticed that I'm taking pictures of her without her permission... No! Don't touch the lenses!

So I decided instead of sitting around, I took her outside... it was tedious... argh yes, something caught her attention...

So we went in the Aquaria, she enjoyed herself since it was her first time but it was my hm.. tons of time going to the Aquaria.

Save the turtle and do your part. There's a turtle adoption program going on in the Aquaria for the past months where you can adopt a baby turtle and name it after you or anything to your liking and it also comes with a micro chips tagged onto it.

This tortoise was gazing at the spot light... at first sight, I thought it was a deco but it turned its head after 5 mins... yes, I starred at it for 5 mins. =)

Inside the underwater tunnel. Gosh, look at that grouper... its gigantic!

Around 3p.m, everyone was rushing to see the feeding session.

Yesh, you get to see the divers feed the sharks too... Ah, I know what you are thinking? No, the divers didn't feed it with meat... yes, it was meat but just fish as bait. haha...

Soon later, we manage to muscle through the crowd and headed off back home because the little one had started to cry cos she is exhausted after the long day of walking and sight seeing.

Dinner was served as normal, a few dishes of vegetables and soup for the night and good times always flies fast. Is time to say good bye. Then again I hope to see her again =)

Maybe soon we can play, scissors, rock & paper again.

Finally....

2007-10-04T11:13:00.000+08:00

THE 1st time I saw this...

Please wait....

... loading .....
..... loading.......
....... loading........
......... loading..........
............ complete ..........

I was in deeply in love with it... months back while sitting in the cinema waiting for the bloody movie to start there's always some commercial on the big screen.. and I saw this again...

I was so tempted to... but I resisted the temptation because it is not a necessity and I still have my beloved 200 pound beauty (you will know what I meant later - below... ). Putting the consideration of "Oops I did again!"... and regret later of spending unnecessary...

Then WTF! & OMLG (oH my Loving God) !! My 200 pound Beauty a.k.a Nokia 3660 Phone spoiled!!! It was totally not functional! Took it to the Nokia mobile stall to fix it, they told me, " Leng zhai, you phone so old like a grandmother already, is time that you have to let it go." WTF! It just died like that! I got only one thought in mind at that very moment, Gosh! Money!! ....

Speechless yet sad, I'm worried about the money and the reluctant to fork out the money to get a new phone - EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY! and Eventually I delayed the pain for 3 months by borrowing an extra mobile phone that my house mates has and ANOTHER reason that I'm sad is because my this particular nokia phone was the first mobile phone that I bought for myself 5 years back when I got my first paycheck... hm... not my first paycheck to begin with but to be exact is few months of paychecksSs.. ha ha...

Gosh... 3 Months without a proper phone... then...

Finally... I burned a hole in my pocket last night and is like Earth met its end when countless Meteorite strikes endlessly to its very core....

(p/s: Picture taken from MyPDACafe - Lazy to take photo =D ) lol!

ookAMI

2007-09-26T22:46:00.000+08:00

Months ago, I happens to come across this game while seeing Alan played on his PS2. It caught my attention...

This game is titled Ookami, the meaning of the title rather interesting, in chinese character as "大神", which bring the meaning "big god", then main character you are going to use in the game is a wolf(written in chinese character as "狼") in Japanese is also pronounced as "ookami". The game is come with you becoming this wolf so called god. This whole game is very artsy and the graphic is very unique unlike any other game I have seen or played before!

Then again, I'll try to get hold of the game once I'm back hometown! Alan finished the game! Darn!

The ending theme song is really nice! Below is the raw japanese lyrics, chinese & english translated lyrics. Feel free to click on the youtube link. I ensure you will like it. Enjoy!

English Translated

Though the (flower) petals are falling, they added colors the city
The final times had come, the winds forbade
There is no need for worries; for the seasons will return (it’s a cycle).
The radiant moon we watched together that time beckoned so

The same tears are always shed
We will not realize what is precious until we have lost it

If only one wish can be fulfilled
I would say “goodbye” to my old self
If there are unchangeable feelings
It would be under the usual Sakura tree
(Alternative – If there are remaining feelings, I will bury it under the usual Sakura tree)

I traced my pinky in the dazzling morning
So the promise made will not be lost
(Japanese kids do the “pinky-swear” yubikiri as sign to keep promises)

I will not hesitate and move on with life
For the time past will not return

For my most cherished prayers to reach you
I shall sing again today
You’ll find the answers you seek
For so was I told

If only one wish can be fulfilled
I want to deliver this song to you (back) in time
If there are unchangeable feelings
It would be under the usual Sakura tree

For my most cherished prayers to reach you
I shall sing again today
The answers you seek is right here
Thus was I told so

Kanashimi wo (O) resetto (reset) shite
wo resetto shite – reset the
kanashimi – sadness

The Holiday

2007-09-03T13:44:00.000+08:00

The Merdeka holiday was...

Slacking on bed the whole day - 31st August 2007 Friday cos I had food poisoning. Shit the whole day as well as having fever made the my day worst. Apparently I didn't do much that particular day due to health condition as well as Jacky is WORKING! and Alan is busy off with PS2 & waiting for Aileen's arrival from Si bu.

Saturday came... The stomach ease a bit but the fever is still there. My reluctance to visit the clinic caused the delay of recovery. Still, in the evening I had dinner with my friends at Sungai Wang's Hot Mama restaurant. Then we are off separately way back to our destination. My destination is back home to rest more. Apparently I do have a short video feed on what happened in the cafe but it took darn long to upload in youtube so I guess next time, Kenny! ha ha! Thank goodness right!

Sunday just flew passes yesterday without much thing I did that I remember productive. haha~ I went to visit my friend in Kelana Jaya. He just moved there not long ago. I guess he is expecting his first born around Jan 2008.

The past few weeks I was doing something, I guess I'll make an announcement shortly after this. Oh yea. On the 8th & 9th were a date for hardcore Malaysian gamers. I was there the second day to check out any freebies or not. Yeah, got some free stuff. Free online game - beta. Get to see some cosplay chicks on the spot too. ha ha!

Welcome to World Cyber Game 2007!

Starcraft, Warcraft, Fifa, etc etc.

Gosh! It took me an hour to load only two picture. ahaha~! Ihis is driving me nuts! I should have better things to do. I'll load more picture when the internet connection is better.

I shall stop here! The stomach is rumbling! XD Before that I shall make a short announcement, a short post after this. Till then, cya!

The countdown

2007-08-28T16:33:00.000+08:00

IS A MASSIVE JAM out there!!!

The countdown to merdeka (Independence Day Celebration) & in 3 days time that we Malaysian will be celebrating this particular day.

........................

Neitherless.....

This morning, there was a massive jam down town in the heart of KL. Even the "SMART Tunnel" is closed down to avoid further increase the number of cars getting bumper to bumper action without moving. I was lucky yet unlucky today because I was forced to go down KL to attend a meeting. On normal days, the condition of the traffic is still fine and accessible but due to the upcoming celebration, lots of road had been blocked for rehearsal.

My lastest Toy

Bought this last night... just a courtesy of doing my deeds as all the rest of the shoppers would do during this time of the year in contributing to the Malaysia Carnival Sales! ha! (affordable & worth it)

............................

I was Wondering...

2007-08-07T14:22:00.000+08:00

One month and few days gone, it has been quite a decade that I had'nt blog. I had been rather busy with tons of stuff waiting for me to settle and stuffsss that had long been piling like mount averest on my desk.

The job is hectic and yet not as satisfying as I thought of the outcome would be. So I took a days off last thursday, 2th August 2007. but I was wondering hard of what should I do on that particular day. Nothing came in mind straight but just a thought to relax my exhausted being and make myself free from the worries and the nightmare kind (sort of) of experience I had.

Spider Pig

The video clearly shows what I did on the particular day. "The Simpson - The Movie." Gosh! I laugh my lungs out in GSC (Golden Screen Cinema) and it was not only me who is doing the laughing and choked with saliva. Everyone in the cineplex is laughing too! Opps, I think I had mistaken about the dates. I watched the show at midnight on wednesday. Basically I visited the Aquaria@KLCC on thursday for the fourth time. I didn't took any picture because blogging didn't ran through my shallow mind. I just have the plain intention to have a good time.

I do have plans to buy a camera last weekend during the 3 day PC fair extravaganza but to my dismay, all the displayed "I WANT" camera were all far beyond financial reachable for me at the moment. Still I would get one in near future meaning I might need to save up to get one. A canon or nikon? SLR? Its depends...

At most of my time I would always ponder hard especially the past weeks of what should I do with my life since my last blog post. I'm rather lost of where to begin. Dilemma is the only word best describe my current states.

I think I shall stop here for the time being.

"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".

The NORM.

2007-07-10T17:22:00.000+08:00

Norm...

On normal days, I would spend 9hrs or more on working my way up the corporate ladder.. sometimes I wonder,"Hey! Is this the correct piece of shit that I am climbing?". shouting to my inner part which is struggling to strives for the so called "THE BIG BREAK" that everyone would refer to.

On normal hrsss in a day, I would perform most ppl dislike. WORK till your head drops on the table and talk deliberately to yourself saying,"OMG! Why on earth that I have to do this routine everyday?!". Then an inner conscious will deliberately tells you that, you are working for the PAY. That parts comfort a portion of the madness outbreak in the inner part. Most people do routine everyday but as for me, I meet all kind of SHIT each day depending on the situation and who I dealt with.

On normal minutes in a day, I would crack my head on some problems people wouldn't want to lay their finger on. Minutes turn to hours and hours turns to days, months. If lets say if it ever turns to months. Yes, you won't be seeing me typing this or be mourning about the norm... I would be happy enough to tell you I quited or got fired...

On normal seconds in a day, part of me struggling to get to the toilet and sit on my balls on the water cistern pondering off how to strike the golden pots with 4 digits number which I find totally absurd to do so. The seconds in my life, I would reflect to the decisive moments in life that I would make a crucial part in my work... To get screwed on the spots or to be glorious and applause comes slapping at your faces... That's my moment in a day... satisfying yet pressurized to the core of my existence.

The Norm... passes each year. The yearly increment, bonuses, company trips & etc etc... Some might not ever entitled to what I have mentioned above. The employer will comes out with all kinds of BULL to lay you off.

The QUESTIONs?
Will the norm ever satisfy each and everyone of us? Everyone define "Norm" differently and it make no exception to me either. What is your goal? What is your ambition in life? & What kind of life you want in short?

The ANSWERs!
There's no answer unless you find it on your own...

To be anything you desire is defined accordance to no standards nor laws. To be successful or non successful is defined differently on each individual. Successful is a word, passion, strength & goal etc... it has infinite definition as well as the word "LOVE".

Is almost 5:30pm. Is time to pack up and head home. I'm done with enough SHIT for today. Tomorrow is a new day. Look ahead for what tomorrow has to offer, yesterday is history but offer valuable lessons which life has to offer. Be ready of what's ahead, who knows tomorrow might be your BIG BREAK.

Past weeks...

2007-07-03T15:39:00.001+08:00

For the past few weeks I had been kinda busy, works becomes extremely tedious and dealing with all kind of old f@ckEr! really make my days harder.

Apparently today I took a day off due to some urgent matters and so at the meant time I decided to do some blogging since there's ample time to do so these days.

Sissy Part 2! - More to come in near future!

The sun was dazzling above our heads when we set out for our 2nd sissy game on the 2nd of June, Saturday morning, 0700 hr sharp. Dressed up as usual, jacky with double layer beneath, Alan & I the usual but this time around we invited Anthony, the foo's cousin all the way from the East, Sabah - currently studying in KL - to try the pain of paintball in the west! AHAHAHa... I gotcha tell you guys, the game is worth every sweat and penny of it!

Each of us were loaded with fear but Excitement was always in the picture. We met up with Kenny at Cheras that particular morning and we soon headed straight to meet up with the organiser, Jason & Rachel to lead us to our final destination but...

Along comes the CRAPer?!

Yesh, we were late... thanks to Alan urges to get his crap done while we are having our breakfast. This time we shall travel to the outskirt of Kuang town situated at Sungai Buloh - MUDTREKKER Paintball Field is the place we are heading.

We arrive half an hour behind the scheduled time. Gosh! This is gonna be fun, we met up with the rest of the 40 plus plus people, mostly were stranger to us, most of them were Rachel and Jason's friend and colleagues.

The safety briefing of the game.

The brief of how to use the marker.

Our face protector - Face Masks.

Marker - The marshalls getting reading the markers for us, filling it with pallets.

"Safety pin off! Barrel Socks off!.... READY! 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GOGOGO!" shouted the marshalls. Then all hell break lose, anything on sight that is not friendly is our target.

Starting off the paintball warfare, we headed out to the jungle for the 'Jungle scenario', in short we are going to play capture the flag kind of game. Shot~! This game was tough, everyone was dressed up with camo. suits. We can't see a shit out there in the field. Most people just spam the bullets, hoping to get lucky. haha.. In the end, we lost badly.

I got shot while crawling through the bunker with jacky behind after kenny got shot from the left flank. hahaha.. poor kenny, jacky left him before he was about to retreat. The game was darn blood pumping and excitement thrilled everyone, all of us just wanted more but... the girls in our group didn't want to play the jungle scenarios complaining about mosquitoes and the muddy condition on the field... sigh~ but we just played once~

After much consideration, we played Urban warfare from then on. The field was huge in short and embedded with strategic brick walls, rubber tyres & zinc huts. It was like playing PC game - Counter Strike on cs_militia & cs_aztec maps. We played several types of game, assault & defend and capture the flag etc. Horse shit! capturing the flag was the toughers! Yesh, in one of the game of capturing the flag, one of the female opponent shot me in the head 3 times when I tried to approach her to threaten her to surrender. I guess that's the result from playing with amatuers! They tend to panic and shoot anything in sight >.< Everyone getting ready for the urban warfare

As for the defend and assault game. I get to play the defending side at first. The rule was simple, the assaulting team needs to penetrate the house and shoot everyone down in 5mins time to win the game or otherwise the defending team will win the game. It was easy as the defender provided we had sufficient ppl in the team and bunker to cover ourselves from bullets flying endless almost anywhere. Fortunately the game we won by defending our base. I guess the idea was not to get shot, shoot when it is necessary and not SPAMMING! hahaha~

Jacky spotted!

The following game, this time around my team was to be the assaulting team. Gosh, thanks to the well covered infrastructure for the defending team. They were to defend a house. It was like cs_militia. I bet Kenny & Jacky felt lots of bullets pelting the side of their house non stop and as if it was raining cats & dogs outside but to our dismay, we lost this match. They were too tough to be eliminated. I guess their defends were good.

Soon later, most of the mates left the game. The left over was us and some of the rest to finish to remainding bullets! Yesh, meaning we got extra bullets and few more rounds to play. Most of the girls left the field early. I guess they were tired and complaining about the weather and stuff like that.

The remainding troops of the day

Zombie
The last game was "Zombie" type. Just imagine what sort of game that we were about to comprehene. This is when only head shots count meaning when you shoot someone on the body, it doesn't counts. Gosh~ everyone gonna feel the pain this time for sure, I mean countless pain if your opponent just don't aim at your heart but body. ahahaha~ hm... yesh, eventually I shot Jacky 3 times on his right arm without shooting at his masks because I was busy entertaining someone on my left at that every moment when he suddenly appear few feets next to me while I am taking fire. hah! Jacky was in lots of pain after the game, we can't help much. Kenny and Alan just laugh their heads off after hearing his glorious but yet painful moment on the field!

Kenny & Jacky's battle scar!

Soon after the game we head back home but de tour to KFC, Kepong to have our late lunch. Imagine we played paintball from 10.00am till 3.00pm in the noon. haha~

Simulation of S.W.A.T

Standing (Anthony - Left, Kenny - Mid, Jacky - Right) Crouching (Alan - Left & I in the middle)

The following Weekend...

Kenny's place! We decided to go to kenny's place to spend the weekend. So that saturday morning we decided to hike a hill behind kenny's apartment. It's a small hill located at Cheras. Most of the people who went there was the elderly, you wouldn't believe your eyes when you see them, they were like spidey. BS.. ahaha~ so we tried... below is a short video footage of our hike. Yes, theres some funny moment when Kenny urges to catch after two chicks which was ahead of him but landed himself hardly catching his own breath >.<

"Sawatdee Khrab!" to Paradise! - THE STORY day 2, 3 & 4

2007-06-18T20:14:00.001+08:00

Finally I got to update some post of WEEKS ago.

To no further delay I shall proceed to finish the unfinished buiness of mine here because there are more things to update after this for the past two weeks! I had been busy with works and tons of other things awaiting me to finish up and I just cant find anytime to sit down to do some blogging.

Yesh, today was the day to do some blogging indeed because I’m down with fever for two days, I drag my gooffy ass onto my chair to start with the typing in Microsoft word before posting on the web because there’s no broadband at home but hopefully the installer do comes to install the broadband this weekend.

DAY 2 – Phang Nga Island

Apparently the day started off with clear sky and beautiful sight of great day ahead. That particular morning we need to gear up early because of the long journey ahead to Phang Nga Island – quoted as James Bond Island. Located between Phuket and the province of Krabi. In fact Pha Nga is a province of its own, most notable for the awesome karst pillars that jut out of the ocean and landscape across this region. So exotic is this location that it was famously featured in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun and is one of the must see destinations on any tourist’s itinerary in the area.

Alright back to the proceeding of our journey. First! To the CAFÉ! For breakfast of cos!

The Morning Break~

Breakfast!

Non Halal!

After the fulfilling breakfast, we head out to North of Thailand towards Phang Nga Island which is located at North on the mainland of Thailand. But before to Phang Nga Island we will have to go through a DE TOUR! Haha~

PAK PRA CHANNEL

We were told by our tour lead that this was something new for most of the tour package because before the tsunami incident that hit Phuket Island, part of Pak Pra Channel is closed for tourist because it is consider a sanctuary so according to she-he, we were lucky enough to have that program to be include in our tour package.

The PIER we come!

The weather was not encouraging but we were determine to reach our destination although rumour has it says that our trip to the channel or James bond island will be canceled. Huh!

CANOEING?!

Yesh, we reached Pak Pra Channel! Row, row, row your boat gently down stream~ lullaby echoeing down everyone heart that everyone would want to canoe down the channel to see the magnificent wonder of mother nature's masterpiece.

Do you guys see an entrance? I'm going to canoe through that.

Approaching the boundary.

I'm in!

To the open! The weather apparently sucks!

Everyone is stopping down to take a picture or two.

Me too!!!

Did you guys noticed the long channel along the edges? Yea, we went through that. I could'nt take much picture because the canoe is rocking like a cradle because the wind is catching up and it is about to rain.

That would be me & my room mate for this trip!

Heading back to the boat!

We are back to the main boat.

Don't you think sometimes we just could'nt predict the weather? Yesh, indeed we could not. Is sad sometimes when we wanted sunny weather, rain comes and when we wanted rain to ease down the temperature, the sun strike the every drop of water that is on your palm. Even weather focus is not entirely accurate. Well, life is also the same. We may plan ahead of what we want to do and what we want to achieve but sometimes things are not as what we had planned but.. I say but... it will be somewhere near what we desire if we put whole heartedly and 101 % effort in the things we do.

After the Pak Pra Channel we head off back to our schedule. Next we head to a restaurant on the sea for lunch. - Floating restaurant on the sea - HUNGRY! I could just scallop one buffolo!

Restaurant entrance.

The jetty.

Tom yam again?!

Phang Nga Island

James Bond Island here I come!

It was another 35 min boat ride to Phang Nga bay. Again the weather is one of the detrimental factor to our morale. We hope to finish the day without seeing a single drop of rain. Huh! Soon after the long ride, finally we reached our destination!

We reached our destination.

Again, the weather is just not right.

Notice? A mouse look a like rock figure.

Wow

Wow x 2

The ROCK

The rock pathway to the jetty across...

Horizon & beyond.

Soon after the tiring trip island hoping, we headed back to our hotel. The whole journey was tiring and kind of disappointing due to the weather I guess. Everyone was dread tired and had nothing in mind but to get some rest for what the days remains but for me and some of the dudes, we were thinking of something else instead of resting peacefully in our hotel rooms.

At the jetty, we found something...

Ice cream - Kinda different way of preparing ice cream though. haha~

Dinner

At around 0830pm, we finished our dinner at a lovely restaurant that serves finger licking good of THAI delicacies. Yes, tom yam is always in the picture for lunch and dinner except for breakfast. Huh!

LIED down n ENJOY

After dinner, we head out to our individual destination in seek of relaxation and ?excitement?… hell no for me! No more shows for me definitely especially tonight because I’m already dread tiring but I’m looking for something else…

The reception

Yesh, I had a chance to get some THAI massage. No picture was taken in the massage dome, one word to describe the feeling was “shiok!”… eventually I slept during the process of being man-handled, the echoes of the melody resounding in my ear composed by every single bone cracking send jeer to my spike! Ahahaha… I thought I was like LEGO.

2 hours of massage was satisfying, it was raining cats and doggy outside. We soon head back to hotel to wrap up the day.

Day 2 ends...

Day 3 – Spectacular

Breakfast of the day!

Today we are going to island hoping again. On our menu we are going to Phi Phi island. It will comprises of Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi ley known as the 'jewels of the Andaman Sea '. We will have snorkeling and sight seeing on both of this island.

This time we are going to travel south of Phuket Island.

We reached Phi phi don first to get the chance to look around the island. Nothing much in particular. Just normal sight seeing, buy some local delicacies. The wind is catching up and the weather is not good for the past 2 days including today. Darn! We will just keep our finger cross that the rain won't hit on us that bad.

Soon after an hour on Phi Phi Don island, we headed to Phi phi ley Island to do some snorkeling. We passed a cave that harvest bird nest, it is restricted area owned by private company that harvest bird nest. There we sighted dolphins! Eventually too fast to be captured by my camera. I'm not using SLR ok. haha..

Maya bay - The famous beach where the movie "The beach" was filmed.

Beautiful eh?

Finally we reach Phi phi ley island and we did our snorkeling etc. We head for LUNCH!

Phi phi ley beach

The buffet lunch ---- First round

Around 4pm we set back to Phuket Island to catch the finale of today’s program. Everyone is dread tired and no exception for me too. I was crawling when I reached the hotel (Bs-ting) but preparation must be made for tonight...

FANTASEA – 0730pm

So this would be the last menu of today. We headed to our destination…

Phuket FantaSea is a cultural theme-park packed with loads of activities and entertainment. The theme-park is inspired by Thailand’s rich and exotic heritage. However, Phuket FantaSea not only showcases the charm and beauty of Thailand, but also enriches ancient Thai traditions with cutting edge technology and special effects.

Just me being stupid I guess. hahaha~

The ticket booth...

The body check... hahaha... no weapons or explosive devices allowed...

The BUFFET - dinner! We are so darn hungry! Restaurant.

The restaurant.

Mexican couples with Chan & I.

Menu 1

Menu 2

Menu 3

Ever wonders what is that... just guess... it tasted rather weird but delicious. huh!

Sushi!

All kind of desserts! I just took a few! Too full to consume anymore!

The dining area

Looks grands eh.

Some aussie in the picture.

Festival Village

Blink! display

Soon after our dinner, while we wait for the show to start at 9pm. We stroll around the festival village through Thailand's architectural history. Each fascinating facade promises a unique shopping experience - I'm broke - where visitors can buy locally made products and etc!

Home to the Kamala people, it is a wonderful introduction to the theme park, where the accent is on fun and entertainment blends well with Thailand's legendary hospitality.

Blink blink!

haha~

Main Attractions

Palace of the Elephants

The magnificent Palace of the Elephants! A state of the art theater fronted by a reconstruction of a Sukhothai - era stone palace with intriguing elephant statues. You would want to miss that if you happens to be in Phuket

There will be nightly performances of “Fantasy of a Kingdom”, a theatrical extravaganza which combines Thai culture, magical illusions, aerial performances, acrobatics, indoor pyrotechnics, special effects and elephants. There is a very loose story line which is more of a pretext to the impressive stunts and special effects.

9pm sharp, we headed towards the theater. Everyone is so anxious to see the show. Imagine the theater is excess through 12 gates, how big you think the theater can fit how much people in it. Is 3000 people!

Behold!

Looks grand?

The entrance path to our gate 11!

Notice the signboard? Yesh, camera nor camcorder is allowed.. so... no picture were taken in the theater. Sigh~

So I guess that it for now, we are heading off back to our hotel after the show. Maybe in the near future, I might visit Phuket Island again. Mixed feeling I guess, disappointed with the weather but compensated by spectacular shows. I guess is a fifty fifty of enjoyment and disappointment.

So that end of DAY 3!

Day 4 – Home Sweet Home

Last day of my trip to Phuket Island, we are packed and ready to head back to MY. The day is early because our flight would be at 12am in the noon so we do have some extra time to SPEND, spend money in short and so we headed to our shopping destination.

Hotel lobby.

Welcome to Sri Bhurapha Orchid! Does that look like an orchid to you? Just guess what's that?

The actual thing looks exactly like this. Picture showed above.

I guess by now all of you would know what's that. Looks familiar?

I guess most of us that consume without ever had a thought of how it was being done. It is pure labour. With the help of minor machinery, the workers need to peel of the nuts one by one. haha~

It is then go through several process of cleaning and boiling to get what it is shown below in packets where we normally will purchase.

Is RM 15.00 per packet. Ever ate a chocolate or honey flavour one before? hah! I bought some from the factory for my colleague and friends.

We spend almost an hour shopping for nuts! haha~ then we headed of to another shopping destination. Why do they have to arrange shopping at the last day? I'm almost near broke~!

We headed to Phuket's finest Gems Gallery. Well, I guess the female will gonna loves this place. It has a gallery filled with all kind of Gems, you named it and they got it. Pearls are sold here too. I guess we gonna spend rather long hours here waiting... you know. haha.

To my relieve! There's a lounge that offer comfortable sits with bottomless beverage served!!! Even beer is bottomless! hahaha!

Part of the gallery. Hallway.

Phuket International Airport

Finally the day going to end soon when we headed our way back to MY, we waited for our flight and while waiting we had our lunch in burger king and guess what I manage to find on the menu >.<

The usual...

The non so USUAL scene in Malaysia.

We boarded our Air Asia flight back to malaysia without any delays, MIRACLE!

Indeed most of the time we worked so hard to achieve something in our life but never ever forget to treat yourself a vacation or somehow YOU need something! I say something! to release your madness, wilderness or what people always defines it as a 'child in you'. Enjoy your life to the fullness, every minute and seconds counts.

"Sawatdee Khrab!" to Paradise! - THE STORY

Day 1 – Phuket Island 29^th April 2007

The day was fine with the hot sun blazing above my tiny head while walking my way to depart from KL on Fight AK ### to Phuket Island, Thailand. I felt excited about the whole trip since morning, planned the trip since half a century ago (*BS-ting - 1/2 year ago), I would just hope the weather will be the same in Thailand right now.

The day kicked off when I woke up just in time to catch my bus shuttle to LCCT ( Low Cost Carrier Terminal ) – correct? Correct me if I am wrong. I was to be there at 10:30am sharp and my flight is schedule to be at 12:45pm noon. Oh well, I didn’t had my breakfast or anything so I took some chocolates instead and a packet of “RA-B-NA”… (doesn’t know how to spell – fruit juice) couldn’t find any mineral water to buy and so… I bought that.

Apparently, I took a camera with me. A humble canon IXSUS digital camera with just 512MB of memory in it BUT.. I brought my laptop with me to transfer the picture in case of overloaded.

I just loved beaches and hot sun above my head, burning every skin cells on the surface of my skin. Just kidding, I brought sun block with me or else I’ll be malaysian ikan masin on the beach of Thailand that very instant.

12:45pm – AK ####

So it was as usual, everyone lining up to for boarding, it just reminds me of “Pudu Bus Terminal” where sits are “FREE FOR ALL”! after you purchased the ticket of cause. Everyone wanted to get the best sits and there is no exceptions for me too >.<>

Luckily, theres no delay for my flight. I took off from malaysia soil at approximately 1245pm!

The trip lasted 1 hour and more, could'nt figure out how long does it takes, didn’t bother to ask or looked at the watch. Apparently, time in thailand is one hour behind malaysia time.

It is gonna be exciting I guess since it is my first time to Phuket Island. I am expecting this trip to be a relaxing and a time off for myself before all hell break lose again once I return to KL.

Wouldn’t it be great just to stay near the beach and have all the time in the world to yourself and enjoyed it with your loved ones? I guess I would like it. Enjoying the bit of sea breeze gashing through my cheeks and the evening sun set accompanying the ambience around me and with the sound of the wave hitting on the cushion soft sand echoes smoothing melody to my ear and as I leave my own set of footprint on the beach and it slowly dissolve the imprint together with water and sand…

To think of it, it takes effort and hardship to make your mark in this society, to leave your footprint in everything. Sometimes to leave a footprint in a person’s heart is the hardest. What says you?

The Touch Down – 3:00pm (MY time), 2:00pm (THAI time)

Finally we reach Phuket Island International Airport. Well, I am kinda lost to be frank. Ahahaha… later after leaving the terminal building we are welcomed by our tourist guide and tour leader. We boarded our “BUS PERSIARAN” ( Tour Bus ) – Pinkest bus - aha!

We had 2 groups, I belonged to group A which comprises of nearly 30 persons and most of them are married couples. We had a very interesting and erm… gorgeous… pretty? Tour guide… well, in Thailand, they called them “BONDAN”, we call them the same in Malaysia, but I rather call them the “SHE-MALE”. She-he is very out-going and knowledgeable person, being able to speak, English, Thai, Malay, Chinese & French. Only one word to describes her “ FOO YOH!”. Hahaha~

Inside the menu of day 1 program, there's isn’t much because the flight to Phuket already took half of our day of the 24 hour chart. After depart from the airport, we head straight to Southern of Phuket to visit a recreational park. The weather ain’t that good, the sky was filled with heavy grey clouds ready to sprinkle the day off and so we headed there ASAP.

The welcome sign board... don't know what it means but i guess it spells "Southern of Phuket" to me >.<

Is another of the tourist attraction area, we saw lots of Korean and Japanese visiting the place! Everyone of my group were shouting “ YAMATE” from the bus window! Ahahaha~ jokingly that’s not true. >.<>

Scenery 1

Some building located there, I guess is some monument building of all days. I did'nt get much explanation from my tour guide, I guess she-he is courting some hunk from my group. haha~

Scenery 2

Just me >.<

Soon after the visit to the Southern of Thailand, it started to rain. We headed straight to our hotel, Royal Paradise Hotel – Patong Beach. The place is filled with foreigners. I am one of them ^.^ ahaha.. we checked in the hotel at approximately 5:00pm.

Hotel Lobby~ waiting lounge

Hotel View 1

Hotel view 2 - Part of my hotel ( new wing )

Finally - My room!

Dinning Time~ 6:30pm

We had our first Thailand Tom Yam at approximately 7:00pm. It was fulfilling except for the part that the Tom Yam is kinda hot to drink. The food was great in all! I didn’t took any picture of the food cause I am darn hungry! I was eating like a buffalo!

YES, the discussion is on for shows and program later at night and the following night because in our program, night time is free and easy so everyone is busy looking for entertainment, our tour guide is our source to most of the request! The entertainment is not cheap regardless of the currency exchange! Ahaha~

We paid and we proceed to our destination next after the dinner…

TOM YAM SHOW?!

It is hot, it is instant, it is said to be deadly for people with hearts problem, 18SX? 18SG? And it just lasted for an hour only!!! For 800 baht! = RM 80.00.

Tom Yam show = Erotic Show ( Harimau Presentation = Tiger Show )

p/s: no camera/camcorder allowed so no picture gonna publish here >.<

Around 15 persons went for the Tom yam show, and the other half went for the SHE-MALE beauty pageant show & a small portion of them went to look for their own entertainment. I can say you can get anything in Thailand these days~ ANYTHING~ ahaha~ even your widest dream can be fulfilled! Well, someone experienced and told me so…

Bangla Street at 12:00 am

Around 12:00am after the show, we headed off to the famous street of Patong Beach called “Bangla Street”, it is called Bangla because it use to be lots of BangladeshEsSSSss staying at that particular area but now it already a famous place for people to club and do some other things >.<

After the heavy down pour - crowds starting to fill the street again

Anyone saw poles? >.<

One of the nice pub I reckon

Too hot for me.

3 dudes~

Sorry, the picture too small to notice chicks at the entrance, click to enlarge ^_^

Here's something up close and personal

GrRrrrRRRRrrRrRrRrrrrr~

Hunger creeps into the picture after an hour of walk browsing through the menu on the street. Kekeke~ so our next quest is to look for foods. Local delicacies? Hahaha~

Yes, bananaSss! There's no banana in there but only a place to club till 2am! Food where are you?!

Fish anyone? No... no one agree to that~

Yesh~! This gonna be one hell of a SUPPER~

Could'nt afford it- too bad = 250 baht EQ to RM 25.00 per 100g

Omg! Tell me! Who would'nt want that!

In the end... Last resort..

Anyone noticed the size of that BIG MAC! is a double Large- I forgot what they called there already but notice how many burger meat in it~! and ya, there is only one size there! LARGE = REGULAR!

Soon after we ease our hunger, we headed off back to hotel to call the night off. However, we bounced into a street hawker stall selling something we won't get to see in malaysia, not that we cannot see or eat here but I would say it is a different way of preparing and consume the food >.< The stall

The preparation

The food~ haha... Taste rather weird!

The Night folded over for the Sleepy

Soon at 3am in the morning, we all headed back to the hotel and have our rest for our next day trip to Phang Nga Island, the so called “ James Bond Island “ >.<
