Calypso~

2008-10-04T01:29:00.000-07:00

I have seen these perfomances a million times and its only the first time i ever too photo of it, thanks to my70-200 :) rite, they are not women, they are men. i think its one of Thai's tourist attraction to see performances like these cause some of the best (her/him) performances or pageants are actaully from Thailand. No doubt some of them are really georgeous, and some is just there to entertain. :)

The River Kwai and Kanchanaphuri Tiger Temple~

2008-09-22T07:23:00.000-07:00

This was one of the longest and furthest destination we travelled while our stay in BKK. First it was River Kwai, where it was famous for the brutal killings and slavery by (i forgot which country) of P.O.Ws. It isnt anythign much today except that it was full with stores for tourist and stuff. But it did felt good to visit such a place where history took place.

Next it was Kanchanaphuri where my friend told me that the tigers roam freely around the temple. I did saw this on discovery and i really wanted to visit. But, ahha i think i was just too afriad to touch them and or leave all my gears around as there was strict dresscodes and stuff for you to touch them.

Yours Truely

Still Life in Kanchanaphuri Tiger Temple.

Love of men and beasts.

Baby Tiger

Huge ass tiger.

Hope you noticed there wasnt any cages of any sort of restraint between you and the tigers. It was said that they are fed meat without the stench of blood, which curbs their hunger to hunt livestock or humans. I dont know whether my facts are correct, but it was really fun to see a tiget up close, minus all the walking under the hot sun.

Bridge of River Kwai.

Floating Market Dumnoen Sadauk, Snake Farm~

2008-09-11T08:16:00.000-07:00

The next day we travelled bout 300km to the all famous Floating Marker which is in Sadauk. Its my 3rd time here and i still love to go there again.
This is one of the pictures taken back in Feb 08, and it was on a weekend where it was much more busier compared to the weekday we were there. People was selling tropical fruits running all the way to souveniers. busy busy busy.

So this time i was back there again trying to capture the Floating market at a different perspective. From afar, i thought the locals travel there way we do in the market, but i was suprised that actually a large peice of styrofoam could do the job just nice. The lady was smiling at me cause she saw that i was quite amazed how 2 person could float on that thing.

Coconut anyone?

Bananas?

There were tourists around all year long, and this time i got halted by this particular group so i could snap thier photo. Sporting, cute and fun.

Everydays job.

Contented.

Now, i asked aroudn why are there these things in front of each and every boat. And as i suspected, its for luck because superstition usually runs in their believes.

Souveniers.

Next, we stoped by the snake farm just for fun since we havent been there for bout a decade. It does seem like it has been a long time my friend has seen an elephant.. ;)

Big ass comodo dragon.

Fearless eyes.

I gotcha... hahahaha..and yes it did bit him. Luckily he was okay, i dont think the snake was poisonous. And i never really thought snakes could leap off the ground and bite. YuckS~

The Haps and the Mishaps~

2008-09-09T07:35:00.000-07:00

Mishaps of the day, SW got ill in a foreign country. Sucks big time for travellin'

Well we left him in the hotel to rest up while me and my friend continued exploring the city in the night and for some food.Thats MBK or Ma Boh Kong somewhat like Sungai Wang of KL only, ITS REALLY HUGE~!!Some breakdancers on the street, kinda mimicking the street dance cultures i see in Europe.

We asked our 'limo' driver to drop us off some nice local food joints. Food was good, price was crazy cheap. And Thai eat Chillis like cornflakes. ahaha.

One of the local dishes where the fishes are grilled with salt to bring out the sweetness of the fish meat. Was really tasty thou and cheap.

The cook who almost burn my camera.

Ended the nite finger lickin' good.:)

Architechture of Culture

2008-09-04T08:19:00.000-07:00

i forgot what was this tempe called; it was one of those trips i talked about where tourists often get tricked into riding a 'free ride' from the tuk tuks.. :)

anyway here are some photos of the magnificent architechture skills..

Wat Arun Ratcha Wararam

2008-09-02T09:45:00.000-07:00

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Arun

so i have been really busy, i know.. i finally managed to drag my self home early (not really early bout 11om) to continue blogging. well this is wat arun, i wiki-ed it more info there. all of the pics above are in HDR, some might be bit dramatic on the skies, but i think its nice..:)

more coming up soon..

The Vein of Bkk, Chao Phraya River~

2008-08-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

Right, so after waiting for quite some time, our limo driver who was late arrived and asked him to pose for me. This is what i got.. XD and yes a lil word of advise, in thailand where tourist are abundant throught out the year, sprung another type of job, i call the the "be freind tour guide". So, youre lost, thinking of asking for directions, come this helpful thai, introduces himself, tells you that he is a professional or eiher some well known profession, directs you, u nod nod nod and nod.. yada yada yada here comes the tuk tuk.. thats it.. you just got cheated for some cheapass tour around BKK which eventually you will have to visit dodgy jewellery shops who obviously sells fake items.

So me countless times in BKK, i always do not miss my chance of being cheated too.. this time thanks to our limo driver jack, well hotel limo (which i thought should be reputed) is jst like the tuks tuks, but u get more comfort and more say in where u wanna go.. it will cost you but its the most comforting way to travel around.. :)

We headed down to the ____________ i forgot.. jeez.. is some wat(temple).. here there is a golden buddha statute which my friend told me that it used to be covered with mud to hide it from being stolen during the war. It wasnt till recently the mud fell off and discovered that it was actually pure gold.. above is a HDR pic and it really shows u the colour of the statute.. its just awesome.

The 3 trios.. Nxt we headed down to the pier for the Chao Phraya River cruise. Now there are 2 kinds of cruise.. one for sights one for dinner.. we thought the dinner would cost a whopping 800 bath p/p so we decided to take the cruise for the sights..and we thought it was cheap it costs us 750 bath p/p for the ride. Now this is where bargaining skills really come in handy, where ever u go in BKK where tourist always end up, BARGAIN~!!.. the whites next to us bargained and got themselves 50 bath per person.. DAMMIT~!!

The cruise wasnt bad, well i wouldnt really call it a cruise, it more like a row boat with a huge ass engine. In the morning, people who like along the river takes these kinds of boats to diff piers along the river to get to work. Now houses in BKK along the river used to be some what liek this but today its all diff with brick houses and satelite dishes poking out of their front porch.

Just shows u how much BKK boomed in a short time.

Basically people who live around here are often stuck in the line of poverty and you will be suprised how much they actually spend a day. I would say roughly around 3 USD.. now thats poverty.

The 1 hour cruise was getting a lil' boring so i started to snap some pics depicting life around the river. We heard of rumours of the fake water market in BKK, now here is it. This guy was paddling towards us the moment he sees us coming and yells " yes? yes? buy buy? water market.." (yea rite)

Afternoon nap.

Babysittin'

I really have no idea.

Then i turned back to my friends they were bored to the bones.

He looks unfulfilled, she looks unsatisfied. ;P

( i dont know why the colour of the picture changes when i upload my photos to Blogspot.. anyone? )

Pat Phong~

2008-08-11T08:50:00.001-07:00

Continuing on, after our stuffing our stomach with yummy yummy food we proceeded to Pat phong, well known as the Red light district in BKK. Now, there are many shows (as they call it) that involves both sexes performing really eye opening stunts. Above is one of the streets for male performances just costs bout 250 bath and you will have an eye opener.

Now besides shows or performances truth be told that there is always sex for hire. A street for males and one for females. I didnt feel comfortable photographing the females so i simply took a shot for the sake of it. Of course, no photography for the shows and as you walk by Pat Phong, locals would never fail to say to you "lookie, lookie, cheap cheap XXX show..." haha.. i find it rather amusing with their term 'Lookie Lookie ' which shows how much they try to attract foreign tourist into their shows.

But in Pat Phong is no different than a stip dance I saw in Newcastle, but there are shows which some perceive as disgusts or amusing. Personally, i just think thou the sex industry is one of the main underground tourist attraction for BKK but poverty is just everywhere and it just pushes them to the corner no choice but to fall in the industry which is hard to quit. I read a book once which i recall 'sex slave' which wrote that the statistic for people to fall into this industry cause of poverty is as high as 80%. 10% which go for the money and other 10% i forgot for what reasons. Please tell me is i have misquoted the statistics.

Returning from our tiring first day we collected our keys from the front desk and i just decided to cam whore through the night..;)

As we woke up the next morning, i didnt notice that my friend actually got a pamphlet for massage.. and yes, its by men for men. Hmm i wonder why did he ever got that... ahhaha

Had breakfast, too much energy, too bored waiting for our Limo (yes we travelled by the hotel Limousine) i decided to cam whore again, well its not always the sights that matters eh? ;)
Me and my Bro, travellers, sadly always last minute and always a pleasure to travel with him.. lets Taiwan nxt year~!!

The entourage to BKK with a new addition (one in yellow).. used UWA lens for the fun of it.. looks nice to me thou.. :)

Ever so Selamba (Chillin') during trips...

Our latest addition Datin Jas to the entourage..

Both the last photos are in HDR (tried some portrait HDRs, never knew how`d they look like)

Erawan Shrine~

2008-08-07T09:53:00.000-07:00

Right, let me introduce to you. This is the Erawan shrine which is probably the most visited place for locals and for believers. Worshipers flock in to the busy heart of BKK and pay their homage to the 'Four faced god' (dont know the actual name). Probably i have post up the same pictures again and again in my previous post and visits to BKK but i never fail to end up here. The shrine is smack in the middle of BKK where the traffic is the worst, but a simple Tuk Tuk ride for bout 20 bath will get you here in a jiffy. Seen the Bond advert with the Tuk Tuk? yea.. u can actually req them so speed up and you`ll eventually have a Tuk Tuk racing competition.. haaha.. well i`ll skip this cause i have posted bout the shirne previously, just wanted to post new pictures up for completeness sake.

Ahh, some love it some hate it some are used to it. This time i went for the Foot Spa (which actually arent that good) which cost a whopping 800 bath. Clean yea, not so much massage. A short walk outside on the pavement i steped into a puddle of god knows what and there goes my 800 bath and a clean foot. ;(

But it was somethign different this time compare to other traditional massages. Its more spa minus the jacuzzi and lady massues(??). I`ve tried that in Chiang mai and it costs bout 6000 bath and its really somethign to try for when youre on trips. (no i`m not gonna post photos of that)
There are ranges of massages in BKK and make sure you dont pay for the dodgy ones or you`ll end up paying for sex for hire. I dont advise that, but hey BKK is world famous for their sex industries and i`ll come to elaborate more on that later. So a lil' advice, go for the massages in the Wats (temple) and you`ll experience some proper massages. Close to ayurvedic massages, minus the oil therapy.

Next is a lil tummy treat and its always the Tom Yum Gong that we go for. Basically food in BKK you will have to be cautios if you have a weak stomach. Its hard to notice whether the food is prepare hygenically, but its always good to exercise discretion of where you eat. For the first time on the many many times i went BKK i manage to get my stomach upset which is a nono for vacation. (i ate some noodles round the pier, which i dont think noodles are clean as flies always hang around them)

But for Tom yum gong, I always go to this tiny restaurant or more like stall just right behind the alley. Its clean ate it many times and i`m still alive.. ;) to get there take the BTS or skytrain to sala deang. You`ll find it round the corner just underneath the exit. If u cant find it, follow your nose.. :)

[Pic removed on request] ;P

Tom Yum Gong, always the best. But my poor friend ended up with some sore throat or soem sort. ahha will show you our short excursion to the Thai doctors.. haha
(Good expression means good food?) :)

Next we headed to Pat pong, but before that i`ll post some MUG shots of my fellow companions which i missed to put on the net.

Right, so next post, Pat Pong Soi, which means Pat Pong street/road. :)

Chak Tuk Chak Market~

2008-08-04T10:50:00.000-07:00

Right, lets continue shall we? Landed, Checked in, stomach growling. We headed down to Chak Tuk Chak Market which is this amazing weekend market where there are more than 1000 stalls around selling food and many many many many cheapo stuffs around. We couldn't wait and the first thing we dump into our stomach is some fun fried stuff all oily and way delicious.

God knows how many time have i been to BKK and the 'pork rice' there just could escape from the list of food i want to eat. Eventually i saved my stomach from the Finger lickin fried food and settled down for this. However, eating in the market really takes a toll on your hygene tollerance because what u dont see is that we had our lunch next to the dump (yes the table is located there). But anything for good food and trust me i can eat this even if i have to stand. :)

After filling our lil tummies (which eventually became really big after the trip) we headed down to the stalls for some shopping. We werent that eager to shop here ( call me a snob) but i just cant take the quality of the goods. On the other hand, there are always cheap handicraft items and whatever nots which you can buy at an alarming cheap price provided you are ready to bargain with the owners.

Toulai= How much, Peng Nai=expensive, and others just comes down to yes yes no no..expenchip expenchip..hahaha

Bargaining in places like this or, Thailand is a must. If you are a local, you dont shop in places like these, which is why prices are always hiked up. But sadly my skills are limited to asking tou lai (how much) and reverted with thai placing me in a confused manner (so much for wanna speak thai. But believe you me, stall owners there are quite fluent with English and will have no problem bargaining with u in English.

Its really hard to take photos in such hot conditions and not to forget to mention that its cramped like sardines inside the alleys. One of the 'whites' actually fainted inside due to the heat and ended up us rescuing her by giving her of whts left of our water.. but i did come across someone, JOhnnY Depp~!!! yea.. at least the thai version.. ahha.. there was performances around the open area but it looked like it was going to rain and CTC has nothign much for us to see so we decided to call it quit and headed for our next destination.

Tau lai=how much

peng nai=expensive

mai dai= no

dai=yes

MCB if no discount given.. hahaha

Backpack Bangkok~

2008-08-02T05:46:00.000-07:00

Finally exams are over and Books aside~ 3 of us decided to travel to Bangkok on the very last minute and we flew to Thailand via airasia the next following sunday. It was a 5 days backpack trip to Bangkok, however we ended up spending more and travelled in a rather expensive/posh way. Well i`ll come to that later.

Above is me in the white shirt, and the other 2 are my close buddies who decided to go a trip last minute with me as well.. i took 12 gb of photos for the whole duration of the trip which will cost me some time to process from RAW and to post it up here. The sad news is that work starts on monday and hopefully i will have time to post some pictures up here. :)

Soulfood...

2008-07-01T01:57:00.001-07:00

...Haagen Daz...

Droped by Haagen Daz the other day and we decided to have chocolate fondue for desert.

Now if you are an ice cream fan and think that Haagen Daz is DA bOMB~ wait till you meet my friends Ben & Jerry's, ;) (which are hard to find in Msia)

Chocolate + Ice-cream = soulfood..

The Fondue.

And Yes, we ate is all :)

Well, HD's fondue is actually not bad but it does costs alot if comepared to making it yourself. I prefer using Cadbury Choc or even Godiva for my fondue and after eating it, you just wont forgive yourself. ahaha . I heard that there was a cheese fondue in Town, but am lost of its whereabouts. If anyone knows where is it pls inform me (or be cursed by the 'Share Good Food GOD', haha jst kiddin')

2008-06-29T02:46:00.000-07:00

I am an urban bug and i am always on the go to look for cool joints for food and booze.

Resuming from TSB, i droped by Twenty One, Kitchen + Bar to visit some people who was working there.;) The place was cool and staff was very friendly. The food? Its definately good but unless you have a thick wallet and a small appetite, this is the place u want to fancy your date with.

It was a weekday, and not payday so the Bar upstairs was kinda empty. Tourists never fail to show up here as its located in the heart of KL somewhere behind Jalan Alor close to Bukit Bintang. We were there early and the 'flock' came in late at night as we left. ;)

Ahh.. yes, the VIP spot, all for your comfort and privacy when needed with the chillout and R&B music playing 'Chilling' the ambience.. Very cool indeed.

Now the difference bout Bars here and in the UK, is that ITS NOT SELF SERVED~!! therefore no drunk,sweaty male testosterones hoggin the bar to get a pint. But sometimes you do get 'smooched' in the middle of pweety hawt girls. Well I guess thats the trade off gettin stuck with men in the bars.. :)

A view of the entire bar upstairs from the balcony (which is kinda hot, for Msian weather). As you can see behind, check out the cool wall with Bubbles~!!! hehe Generally the design is kinda cool but i really think instead trying to save space the place need chairs which u can lean on.. shees.. Besides that, of all places i`ve been to i`d give this a yes to go place. :)

So hence, anyone who want to drop by here is the add:-

Twenty One Kitchen+Bar

20-1 Changkat Bukit Bintang

50200 Kuala Lumpur

Tel:-603-21420021

More to come, But CLP's coming in two weeks, i`ll try to blog as much as i can. Ahem anybody wanna go there? i`m all free.. haha

What Fuels The World

2008-06-22T09:18:00.000-07:00

On top is a photo i took while pumping petrol for my vehicle. I know it was and still is a big 'hoo haa' round the world, with the rising cost of fuel and food (sometimes jst feel like the world is going insane) I didnt really feel the impact till the bill came out a whopping RM140 (bout USD 43) for a 1.8cc car. It used to be RM90 and a 40% increase IMO is jst soemtimes too much.

But hey, things are going crazy ya know.. so instead of thinking of how to milk the cow, think of ways to get more cows... ;)

(will be busy coming 3 weeks guys, sorry if i am MIA or lackof updates)

Telawi Street Bistro, Bangsar~

2008-06-14T09:58:00.000-07:00

So you think Malaysia is some food heaven, think again its also where drinks get their local touches. So i heard of a rumour that there was fantastic drinks in TSB or Telawi Street Bistro, Bangsar. Without hessitation i went to my doom blindly.

Right, so for the drinker out there, if you think you're macho or the point-man with your drinking buddies, you just have to try this. Imagine Vodka (which already gives u the burning sensation when u drink it) coupled with chili padi (a.k.a the baddass of Chillis). Yeah, i was suprised when i saw this and regretably after much pleading with my friend for me NOT to drink this i finally got the Balls to take one shot. And, it was a lethal one.. hahahah

Next is this juicy looking snake coupled with some whiskey in a bottle. I refused to drink this, apart from the whiskey i was really afraid that something might turn out wrong. Next maybe i`ll be turned into Snake Man or somethign ;)

Well, i did turn out into something or someone known as THE DRUNK. Hahah, months of fasting from drinking one shot of Chilli Padi from my lovely friend left me burning from the scalp down to my u know what when it comes to nature call. Am not being Sick or something but it does~

Well, at least now i could say i tried it and I`M THE MAN!!! hahahah...

Anyone of you who want to try it should drive down to TSB Bangsar one day. Besides the bar is also serves delicious food for dinner or deserts for supper.

I wanted so much to put my friend's cheeky face when she saw me with my reaction but i decided not to in order to sav myself from further torture from drinks she recommend.. haha ;) THKS SO MUCH SIM~!! >P

Hit the Streets~

2008-06-05T05:38:00.000-07:00

Right outside the Annexure, painters and artists doing what they do best.

I have to say, i have one of my pictures drawn here and it was good. But it aint cheap ;)

This is what we call 'wayang kulit' or what u may know as pupetry shot, just that these actually use beautifully cut papers in the form of living or mythical beings.
I think it originated in Kelantan, Malaysia and its sadly one of those heritage which is dissapearing. Maybe, one day i`ll just travel down to Kelantan and watch the show myself.

Now these are the handcarved pupets (supposingly that they are) which are sometimes used in pupet shows. Check out the colours of their garments and the details, its just awesome.

Now i know the West have Easter, and eggs cost very cheap during the celebration. Still remember missed my 1 quid per carton of eggs shopping spree ;).. and yes, in Msia we have coloured eggs too. Probably derived from the Easter idea too.. Well i dont really get what the Bunny and the Eggs got to do with Easter? hmm...

Well, i managed to get some picture inside Central Market. There are just loads of shops ranging from handicraft items to really expensive tourist souveniers.. hahaha.. and it was a Thursday so i guess there wasnt many people around.

Everytime i see singers on the streets, i never fail to be amazed how they can stand singing and singing for hours~! Was sitting there for 2 hours he never stop singing and ended up with my RM3, pity but hey GET A JOB. I remember when i was in the busy London tube station (forgot which stop) i heard this really good strong voice like Lois Armstrong i swear echoing throught the walls of the tube. It was rush hour then, i tried to look for that guy but sadly there was JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE~!!!! man wish i had bought a cd from him..

(above pictures are all Photoshop-ed into my Street sytle colours or Lomo-ed)

Central Market #4

2008-06-03T03:51:00.000-07:00

Awesome show of affection of KL, considering the fact where they painted it.. ;)

Central market Annexe, this is where all the local artists paint and sell their works. Also here is where u can get cheap items for your art projects or whatever nots.

Central Market #3

2008-06-01T04:54:00.000-07:00

There wasnt much graffitis around, think they were on the verge of being cleaned up;) but i didnt find this particular guy all over town~! Anyone know who this belong to?;-)

Well, this wasnt in KL, i shot this with my Sony Digicam when i was studying in UK back in 2007. Just reminds me its kinda funny even thou i have no idea what the letters there stands for.. anyone for pointers? well i`m sure, no way that i wont expect it to be of any profanities.. haha :D

Central Market #2

2008-05-31T11:09:00.000-07:00

You're shooting me?

Above is a slight lomo-ed picture.

Found this in someback alley which i think was quite interesting considering the fact that i was shooting around the street.

Central Market

2008-05-29T04:20:00.000-07:00

(blogspot keep resizing my images, dont seem to be able to put up a decent sized one)

I escaped from my busy schedule and set out the do some street photography. Though really really busy with my schedule i managed to step out to KL's Central Market which has been there since 1881.
A building full with history since the colonial times, now an art market or some might claim is where many gifted artists sell their work or arts there.
I personally prefer graffiti art, which i think they are totally interesting and colourful. Many of these artists are sadly still hidden in the dirt of gifted people which i think who might have a great potential doing 'proper' graffiti art. (not those racial, non-sensical ones)
The Government has announced that graffiti art will be banned in KL for vandalism reasons, and will set a venue where all graffiti artist can do what they do best ;)
Hence, i set myself out in seacrch for graffitis around Central Market before they are cleaned up.
Above is the only gigantic wall art i found but was parked with cars infront of them, so i guess i`ll have to go back for another shot one day.(if its still there)
More pictures to come, shot from central market.

WhT MoNey Is about These Days...

2008-02-29T11:28:00.000-08:00

ranting, dissatisfied.. any of you remember when money was not a big factor or atleast it was still manageable? times has gone whereby things was relatively, i mean very cheap compared to the prices of goods now.. even food the price is ridiculous~! or maybe this is just the payoff to live in the major bustling city of every major country.. look around nothing is cheap~! and as days goes by living standards improve and pay is getting worse or still not looking good..

every fresh grad i`m certain cant resist the temptation of the well know devil called the credit card.. hah~! am i true of what? i mean face it.. things we need or want now are way up our paygrade or when our paygrade is at the competant level our wants just begin to differ. every country is running on debt and everyone is running on debt too, nothing seems comparable to the times back then when atleast, goods doesnt strain our paycheques~

jeez, its always the rich getting richer and poor is getting poorer and sooner or later there aint gonna be a middle class. cant u see? all the debt we incur all the lifestyles ever improving, its just gonna snap and there goes, your officially bankrupt for sending your kid to college.. and i`m not kidding prices of tuition fees are also on the rise.. debt debt debt debt debt, thats all left, when ure gone, its jsut debts..

rite so thailand was a land full of suprises.. many experiences u`ll never get in msia u`ll get it there.. for instance.. falling in love with a man who looks better than any woman.. i swear it.. haha.. and going on tour drunk and puking in the lobby in the mornign after breakfast.. ahha.. but it was nevertheless a good trip and an unforgettable one

0n the Fast Track~

2008-02-02T10:07:00.000-08:00

so some might wonder where da hell have i been these days, my apologies life has been on the fast track ever since the last time i updated my blog.. well met loads of new frens and my network has expanded no doubt.. but yet it drives u away from who u are from the core and now i`l beginning to realise tht, i have no doubt changed..

hmmm.. maybe i should run off to tibet and be a monk for hlaf a year to repent of what ever, how cool is that.. i didnt ever wondered that a person of my dad`s age is more hyperactive than me and gave me that idea.. hmm.. interesting.. hahah

now now, off with the offset and random thoughts of mine and move on to pictures i too ever since the last update.. i have to tell u uploading pictures is a pain in the neck.. thanks to streamyx(yeah rite~!) havent been able to snap any interesting pictures but nevertheless here are some..

itS a DogGY SundAY~

2007-12-23T20:59:00.000-08:00

so it was a sunday morning and i got a call from a fren of mine whom asked me to check out some really cool dogs.. WTF?~ its 645 inthe mornign and ure pulling me out from my comfy bed to see some dogs?~u madd??

well nomatter what i said in my heart i inevitably went out so i wouldnt dissapoint the gang.. well actually being there wasnt so bad at all.. dogs were cute.. owners were cool.. photos was great~! haha

this is a british bulldog i think, and it was giving me the stare cock look when i took this.. hehe

this is booster the golden retriever, bred from a champion GR.. Cute.. but really furry.. got dog fur all over my clothes.. sigh..

two of them, booster on the left and pang pang an older dog on the right..

now this one is a killer.. imported from korea which cost a huge amount of money.. he is called aramis.believe u me he can kill.. and there is booster trying to make frens.. well.. at least he did try.. ;)

besides hairy animals i managed to take some good photos in the morning lights.. :)

of course it was a great day managed to snap alot of good photos.. but please nv again~!

(guy in left) "now whadya want for christmas this year robert?"

(guy in right) "maybe they can at least let me pee this year during performance~"

haha.. so i went around for the most intersting christmas deco this year and snaped some picture of it.. i hadda say that some was really awesome but sad to say klcc had the same ol' stinking tree for god knows how many past years.. pavillion was great, something new and

majestic but i have to put it down cause end of the day it was still "typically" chirstmas.. nothign really attracts.. or instill the christmas aura in people.. this is subjective i know.. most dont need any deco or what so ever..

and hence, i found the deco in 1U was really great.. gives me the feel that i was a kid again.. i didnt know what they had for deco last year but the least they gave me was a lil of the chirstmas spirit(besides shopping ;) )

feel it? it was majestic..anyway i wish all of my frens and all whom i know Merry christmas and thank god i dont have to work in a bar anymore this year.. haha.

WishIng the Best of wishEs and pressIEs pressiEs and PrrEessIIEess~!! WHERE IS MINE~!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

PweeTy FaCEs Hairy ArmPitS#2

2007-12-07T04:34:00.000-08:00

yes~ finally i have some time to edit and upload all of the photos.. well not all, only the worth putting it up.. haha.. and what u see is what u get ladies and gents, yeap thats my hse and thats hows the transport is in hainan.. and mind you u have to keep in mind that this is in winter and its freezing my socks off riding a bike~!

it was till i got to my ancestors home that i finally realise that how we chinese actualy originated from where our ancestors got off.. well this might sound unappreciative but thank god that now i`m here.. haha... u really couldnt imagine the experience u get living there for a night but i tell u, the people in the hse thou not direct relatives of me are way way way more warm hearted and friendly than any of our msian house warming here.. you could imagine a one star infrastructured hotel with a 5 star service.. ;) thou it was really messy staying anite there getting bitten from god knows what, the experience i had was one i could keep in me for a very long time.. till atleast i have my next visit..:)

and the rest of the trip was my travelling to different cities located on that island in a very small bus full of "kiasu" and "kiasi" (if u consider sinagporeans are bad wait till u see them, haha) chinese from all around china.. well there were of course a few nice one but still they dont miss out the knick knacks of grawing up in china..the spit.. haha.. and needless to say the chicken rice was awesome till we had one whole chicken for our self.. as u could see in the pic it was gudddddddd~! and supper was all round, ranging from seafood, urhh seafood, and more seafodd.. ahah.. and the seafood they have dont really differ as they fish from the same sea.. but prices goes up and down like the stock market believe u me~ just on the 50m of street alone.. haha

after all it was china.. what else u think u wud get? london? not even close to kl.. but it was a fun thing to do, and am hoping that i`ll get to travel down to cambodia or vietnam~ ;)

PweeTy faces hairy ArmpITs #1

2007-11-27T07:25:00.000-08:00

rite, so it been a week i`m in hainan island that i finally get to sit down and do a proper onlining session and yada yada yada..

now where shud i start? lemme jsut highlight few intersting happenigns of my experience here and it aint gud.. for the ice breaker~ lemme tel lu singaporean are more kampung than msian~ they`d pee on and while the plane is landing on a bottle.. literally and it stinks~!!!!!!!!! second, no matter what signs are on they always fail to do as instructed and do the opposite.. how hard is it to read please fasten seat belt, or off your mobiles~ i swear to gawd i heard a sms came in while the plane was landing.. OMG singaporeans are so not like their packaging say they are.. they are totally worse off than kiasus..

now thts somethign important that my fellow msians shud take note of..of how 'kampung' they are, not to mention also compared to the chinese i meet here.. like i say, pweety faces with hairy armpits... thts one, if ure a gal here, u`d consider twice or more than that for your entire life if u were to marry a chinese man here.. the main attraction is their yellow stunken teeth (or sometimes black even) and the fact that they dont bath for weeks.. haha..

now the food here is nothgin fancy, its all much for what u call staple food, basically kuih made out of rice, urh this that and this that.. but of course the hainanese chicken rice here is awesome~!!!! i ate a whole chicken and 2 bowls of chicken rice, mind me but i think its damm good and i dontmind getting fat for a few days.. haha..

pictures will be up after some time after i`m back in msia and i get the converted to jpegs.. snaped bout 2gb of raw photos so far and sad to say its gonna take lotsa time to convert them.. ;)

dont know what really to type so i`m gonan stop here till i get the photoes (mind me too many days in china my inglis becoming china also.. haha) so till then few more days for me to go here and i`m off to singapore~

2007-11-15T21:06:00.000-08:00

we call this the Tai Chung Lau.. or was it? well it was a not so good photo shot as the settings were wrong.. will attempt another time if i have the time..:) and btw.. u see the cars there? all are malay ah bengs with the loud car stereos and one of them was actually singing like Karaoke.. i swear to god~! haha

2007-10-24T03:37:00.000-07:00

Kay El' is great, its got all the food, you know the entertainment around 24/7.. i like it, but being here and having been to other places, Kl is just too small a sin city to be..

how nice if it was like NY or London where its bigger you know.. more populated more developed and dont just offer the same ol' spots where u hang out each week in the same ol' bars..

photo was taken on a clear nitght with some addition of my photo effects..:) hope u like it..

rite~ so it was after work and bitchy rain.. cold.. till i realised while on my way home it was sunset and the sky infront of me was a cold shimmering sky and my back was a warm cloudy sunsent.. was kinda nice.. ;)

well today work was a bitch and i busy like a bastard.. crap.. had no time to relax or even to eat my lunch.. well i did take a bit of time off to be a sneaky sneaky B*St*rd, haha so i went back to my school.. well to my amazement my school's left with 40 students and a handful of staff.. its 30 yrs old and its gonna die bankrupt.. haha.. well i thought i`d have a warm welcome and nice chat after being gone for so long, but heck it was just cold and no one bothers.. sad.. shows u how much low pay and overworked ppl can be=cold and poor.. haha

well i guess time changes everything.. its your enemy that drifts things apart and your friend that pulls you closer too, its time that stabs you in the back and heal you in the end..

A lil' wine and a lil' of reminiscing thoughts.. terrible and not easy to sleep.. true true.. i wish i could be a pharmacist and create a drug where people can easily forget about others and move on on the 'SNAP' of the fingers.. i`ll be rich and u can be my 'gunie' (however you spell it) pig.. or you can just be a test lab pig of mine.. well u see, many people had hard time moving on especially a fren of mine who was soooo terrible in forgetting bout something which is unworthy of missing.. but i guess 'he' works in a funny way and maybe there is just a blessing in disguise..

well, enuff of sad sob stories and i think i`m gonna talk bout my fren jon~ and reverting to disguise sometimes i wonder is he ever, ever Gonna say that i`m the one who touches him? omfg dont misinterpret this but i think maybe he has 'somethign' else in disguise in the pants? hahah.. well wont be suprise if jas find him in the strip being the all time hit drag queen.. haha

and the week hasnt been so bad either.. yaa.. i missed my classes.. 2 of them total of 10 hours and 4 chapters.. hahaa imagine the work i hadda put in this week to catch up.. gawd.. i just hope things goes easy for me.. haigh.. well, honestly it hadnt.. 'he' still wants to test my patience and maybe just me.. and i had enuff of torture for the past few years.. i just hope i get a break real soon..

went to the TUNKU musical show and i think it was great.. truely brings back the msian history which should be thought and learned from.. well nothign much i can say bout that cause i forgot most of it.. hahah..

2007-08-21T09:15:00.000-07:00

have u ever regret of doing or not doing anything? (emo alert~!!)

regrets of messed up your hair by the bad hairstyle?
regrets of drinking too much till ure too drunk to ask her out?
regrets of being called too liberal or too conservative?
regrets of not asking that person out?
regrets of actually dating a "not so your type" kinda guy?
regrets of not paying the bill in the same shop for a year?
regrets of saying harsh things or took the wrong turn in your relationships?
regrets of not jumping down the bungee?
regrets of not living on the edge?

heck~ thts what i tell my self all the time.. heck~ wtf~ piss off~ at least to a certain extent you`ll feel better or only to the extent lying to yourself would actually make u feel better.. i had a feeling of regret today.. regrets that i didnt peservere (how do u actually spell that?)

~one thing that i do agree and see with what people around react to.. still no matter how much hippideehop u are, u're still stuck to the simply and most classic unchangeable perception of being defensive or should i say conserving.. sometimes i do wish things would change, or at least improve but it seems its "all tok and no show"..

yesTerDay Once More~

2007-07-31T18:41:00.000-07:00

how i wish it was yesterday once more, the long awaited holiday and get-away from my busy work place (ironically i sedang curi ayam bloggin') trip to penang, and the stop in ipoh,the furthest and i guess the most i can practically afford and go to with my limiting budget. But a visit to the old oriental or the so called pearl of orient was rejuvinating and refreshing after the long hours of energy draining driving, although my new found friend Jin and I drove down from ipoh to penang in an hour..

ipoh wasnt much with limited stores and places to go and same ol' Sa Hor Fun' so i`m gonna skip it..i would say that penang is much more like the happening twin of ipoh which is larger and filled with bustling traffic.. only that i was there i realised that it was the same old food, same old place, same old rowdy people.. with exceptions of certain new malls and reclaimed land..

rite, penang.. all famous for its Kek Lok Si, Char Kuey Tiao and Asam Laksa.. people never really do care bout being hyginic and the cleaniness of the surroundings... i guess its a asian thing.. we eat all kinds of food.. ignored of the cleaniless.. :) and there is the CKT.. the goggle aunty and famously ignorant and snobbish left hand helper.. gosh~! they would never take your order and would ask you to leave if u cant wait but ironically with the unfriendly and the customer unfriendly mood that people still swarm to her.. i dont taste any difference in it but nevertheless it is a famous place to go in penang.. blame the publicity.. THE FALSE ONE~!! ahah

Publicity.. it's how you would make your business expand and take the big chunck of cake out from your customers wallet.. not all possible yummy fud in penang had their fair share of pulicicty.. but some do survive despit their lack of adverts and marketing.. some simply indonesian aunty in her i dont know what age making the ever so yummy layer cake.. i am apalled that her customers are usually people from outside penang going to UK and Singapore but never the penang people.. maybe thats what they call the hidden pearl within a bigger pearl.. but i think due to aging her cake tastes less better but nevertheless it still better than most layer cakes.. ;)

The penang people.. hakka.. or fukkien.. its all *&^&(@#!&$)!@ and i am really distorted by that.. its like being a chinese and you are driven out by your own people by their language~! i cant understand a shit! besides kanasai~ and i dont even know thats hakka or not.. hahaha..

Maybe and Just Maybe i would wIsh its yesterday once more..

Ahhhhhhh...Hommeee.....

2007-07-15T02:41:00.000-07:00

rite i always get commented that i dont put up the pictures i snap with my camera and i always get criticised for that.. so here it is~!

okay this one was a Peek-a-boo shot so it was blur but i guess my she was too

and f.y.i nv play with foreign kids in a restaurant.. they`d pour drinks on u.... 8p

ComPlexity

2007-07-15T02:09:00.000-07:00

rite, work has been hogging my time and most of my free time too.. so i dont have much time to really waste time.. haha..
even thou work has been hectic but i just couldnt sit there and let my life drown into a workaholic yet.. at the rate i`m perceiving my self to be going i`ll be 30, bald and single.. haha.. get thepicture? so nevertheless i started to read some books..meet up with old (i mean really dates way back) friends.. and gosh to my suprise how have every one changed.. or transformed( sidetrack- TRANSFORMERS IS DA BOMB~!! HAHA) some people who used to be really closed to me just didnt turn out what i would have imagined them to be.. i mean literaterated, nice family and they just turn themselves to poop.. wrong bunch of friends.. getting into useless trouble and what not..
it pushes me back to my high school memories where once i told myself i wanna be soemthign by this age.. and i look back the track where i`ve walked.. i just end up to ask.. where am i? maybe i shud be contempted of who i turned out to be.. at the very least i`m not or i think at least i am not someone useless and uneducated.. at least i turned out to be a profesionnal... and i`m glad..
a friend told me.. what u think ure in might not be what ure in or what ure doing.. i guess thats quite true.. most often we think that we are something but actually we are not really 'that somethign' we are being.. sucks huh? how is it then that we know who we really are? my answer is.. look at people around u.. u are what other are around u.. u stick with stuckups.. ure it.. u stick with humble and contented people.. ure it.. well at least thats what i think the general guideline is.. people define u with who u hang out with..
---
i really wanna post some pictures of trips here and there.. but i guess time has been taken off me and work has been piling up on my schedule.. i dunno i really wanna drop everything off and run off to a remote island and just chill out.. but then again.. wheres the money.. hehe.. and on top of that.. sad to say that i have yet to have a nice travel companion ever since i got back.. unlike U KAREN WONG (my dog shit detector~!) and SWEI (my urhh.. blur friend who gets locked out of the tube) haha.. if you guys are reading this.. lemme know what are ure plans.. i really need a break~!

2007-07-02T06:02:00.001-07:00

dont u agree? it doesnt.. things just shits up more and more as time passes by.. and by time u`ll realise the world is actually a pile of shit and ure some of the flies hovering around it.. haha.. bad description of the world..

shiacks.. today i did something minute but very very wrong that almost cost me my future.. was really really tensed.. and it was soon that i discoveered that the world which reeks with power domination only succumbs u to be either a suck up or get suck... shit~!! i am GONNA GET SUCKED SOOON~~!!!! U watch it... ehehe.. pls pls pls.. spit out all u're dirty thoughts..

rite like i say.. the world was born a dog eat dog world.. a power heirachy invisible to us which we naively believe that the world is actually fair and tell u kids.. its not.. not in all worlds.. not even the closest relationship or office ure most familiar with.. even u and ure mind.. its always a power struggle to see who is the dominant one or who is the one getting riden tonite.. haha..

i`m sure we have lost at least some things valueble to us..money, family, freinds, loved ones.. i guess its only when u are old or mature enough u only reflect upon ureself and realise how much u have actually lost and how deeply remorseful u are for that loss.. but on another hand again, if u had never loss such things you would have never learn and grow..

first day 22, realising that i would have to shave more often and maybe growing an inch taller again (fingers crossed), was nothing special and its just like an yother day on the calender.. i found a stack of cards in my drawer and it was those cards which i kept all this years which dated back to my highschool and as i read it, i realised that i have actually had many good friends which some were lost, or some which changed.. though we are still friends today, it just isnt the same as those days where laughter and responsiblity-free faces were all around..

i hope i dont sound old enough like Frank Sinatra to sing 'My way'.. i dont think i`m so old yet~ or so dead.. but i`m preety sure things are starting to dawn upon me that i should stop behaving like i used to..sheesh..

i just feel that i really need a vacation now or sometime off here to get some 'thiking time' on my my.. i dont know but i just feel that my life is so unorganised now.. thou i am working by i guess socially i am going down the drain at least.. and its rather sad to leave that socialite role of urs to pursue into somehting else. .i guess you dont need many friends,but a handful to keep your chin up would do.. and to a certain few who were with me today, although nothing much had happened to feel today was great, but knowing it u 2 and a good seafood dinner is great enough for me.. :)

yesh, i am back in Lovely KL for 2 weeks and i havent been out much cept for being a lazy turtle in my house.. haha.. missed my bed loads and nv thought that it was soooooooooo comfy.. i lie u not, my bed has alot of comments from ppl tht its comfy (dont get it the wrong way) haha..
well the first few day wasnt much of a happy mood for me, everything was so hot and sticky feeling on ur skin is unescapable (or so to say).. then my tummy hadda adjust to msian food sadly and i couldnt eat all the guud food thts around for me to devour~! omg... sad sad.. when it seemed that the sun had dawned on my only comes the stupid sore throat i`ve been having ever since landing.. not only that but i had spend like gazillions when i am bck in KL just by getting everything in my room and car to the way it used to be..
talking bout gettin around in kl, one thign.. pot holes.. the god dammed pot holes.. i hate em', everytime i see one on the road now all i`ll be seeing is RM500 a pothole... i guess the pot holes in kl have just about every assholes tht DBKL have.. shit.. cause of the damm pot hole i hadda change my tyre in the middle of the frikin rain and cost me 500 bucks to get a new tyre.. shiat.. talk bout being poor.. i`ve never felt so poor b4 not even in bristol..
i noticed that things has increased relatively in prices and not to mention that the 'materialism' thingy is getting into msians too.. just few months i was gone and people in kl branded themselves... LV, Gucci, to the Fake 69 'gucci' mark.. ahaha.. but heck its guud tht ppl here are finally gettin some sense of fashion in them.. but the 'lalas' are just 'lalas' and it will nv go.. haha
well what can i say.. this is truely MSia, and its even 50 yrs of independance that Msia is celebrating.. not forgetting to mention tht now they have the Mata Msia.. haha.. once i saw it i turned back my car and told my self i`m not going back there.. i mean gawd~! it looks like a god damm ferris wheel, i mean it is a ferris wheel.. but even if u havent seen london eye u`ll feel its ciplak.. haha but dont misunderstand me for not being patriotic.. i mean..at least to a certain very least extent... hahah
much has changed around my life in kl, u know the place i dwell in, i hang out in.. ppl getting richer, and the the showoffs and suckups are always there.. but hey this is the Msian life.. u suck where the money is.. at least to certain ppl.. to all u out there.. i dont suck sorry to say, i get sucked.. haha.. (perception on this point is vital not to be misunderstood.. haha) i dont have a thing for homoes.. but shiat i dunno why i keep seeing them arnd, thts ok actually but nnoooooo... i forgot to mention they like to check me out~! gawd gives me the chills.. i had my newcastle exp, and i wouldnt like to repeat it here again.. conclusion~ i need a date~! haha
cant blog much now cause of the stupid streamyx connectiong which is super duper slow and sukcy.. so it takes ages to load pages and on top of that i`ll be starting the super boring life which everyone will be going to start..ie. work~ haha.. so less time for fun more for curi tulang.. haha..

Gay TelEtuBies?

2007-05-29T07:24:00.000-07:00

of all things people gotta do is probe on some children tv shows and say its promoting homosexuality..
from yahoo news:-

Ewa Sowinska, who deals with children rights, said she would ask psychologists to advise if this was the case in the BBC children's show.
She was quoted as saying: "I noticed (Tinky Winky) has a lady's purse, but I didn't realise he's a boy.
"At first I thought the purse would be a burden for this Teletubby ... Later I learned that this may have a homosexual undertone."

i mean omIgoSh~ dont u have better things to do? so what if teletubies are holding a purse or seomthing.. heck let it wear undies if they want! so should u start children programs inciting them to luv women? like teletubies with bras and not dicks.. shit! i mean get a hold of urself and go probe some other things like child porm or child abuse.. did they even know that there was a women who asked their kids to fight on video and got released on a fine? shit~! thats like promoting 'ask ur kids to fight and bet!, the gov is only taking 10% of the winnings, so what da heck'... and there was this lady so actually lock her grandshildren in the room and force them to eat their shit cause of hunger? the last thing they need to probe now is gay teletubies..

and did i even forget to mention that Madelene is still missin'? poor kid i really hope they find her and those children rights activists can probe their ass.. maybe their brains are in them.. no offence.. but i really think that there are more that they should do than creating some gay teletubies shit for carrying a purse..

TakIng A DumP~

2007-04-24T18:13:00.000-07:00

rite, have u ever wandered off your mind while~ taking a dump? or not while taking a dump, well yea, like whose minds doesnt think bout things while doing anything.

imagine the busy street of NY or something with millions of people busseling down the streets in seconds, and each thinks of a diffrent thing, have u ever wondered thats like billions and billions of gigabyte(it u wanna quantify them) of thoughts every second! hell thats like faster than the super computer ever known! (or not, well i`m not really sure.. ;p )

well my point is, ..., well it not a 'massive super attractive' point that everyone deserves a lil info bout it, but while i was taking a dump just now( alrite too much info ~!!) i just thought like hey, do i ever stop thinkin? then i just had this urge to write whateva crap i`m thinkin bout now (which i`m writing F.y.i) its like info overload spit spit spit it out! haha.. think bout it, even the laziest person in the world who does nothing, sits around and eat or even not watch the tv, would think like, 'mmmmmmm.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... i`m...gonna eat...' haha god knows what they're thinking...

rite, i guess this post is really dumb and not really worth the comment or reading, but hell its my blog, and i was just chattin with my friend this morning like hell why would some people be like a 'bloger popstar'? i mean whats makes their blog so 'readable'? it not like its the NST or somethign but i guess those blogs just push the rite buttons in people ( not in a sick way ) its like OMG the chatbox in that blog is like a chat room and its bloody ongoing~!!! there are like millions or gabillions! of bloggers out there and one just has to be a chat room.. haha.. bravo! bravo! honestly i like your blog too.. but i guess i just failed to catch A point of why i`m reading it.. my friend says its advertisements through friends.. riteeee.... i guess i better start saving for brochure costs for mine huh? haha..

its a pitty now that i kinda regret that i didnt bring my camera to most of the places i went for the past years.. i have like a massive urge to learn bout photography now and the ironic thing is i hate being infront of the camera while i was young.. i have this web site where i surf to oftenly, its devianarts.com i think and inside there is loads of photos and animations and designs where people put on the web.. and when i look at them i`ll go like mannnnnnn... when am i gonna be able to snap one of those pictures.. i mean maybe youre not into the whole photo thing, but people who upload their work there really beats the hell outa me.. good job~! u`ll nv know i`ll hv my photos up there one day.. hehe..

2007-04-23T20:08:00.000-07:00

rite, everyone is just in this really tensed mood rite now due to exams and lotsa library 'hangin out', instead i choosed to procastinate like 2 days and watch some movies and procastinate even more. yeaaaa, ppl gotta rest rite? well put that self assuring speech aside and inside my head so it works better comforting my lazy mood rite now.

and yea, i was browsing throught my notes pushing them here and there like i was studying, uhuh~ it was then i came over one of my cds, and it was one of the cds i bought from barcelona, and the group was called MAB (Minimal Acoustic Band) which preety sounds ironic cause their whole music was preety much based on instruments. well i bought the cd for like €10, which was preety i think worth it.. i totally stood infront of the band in Las Ramblas(the market) for an hour listening to them playing and it was just great! and not to mention that i spend the next 15 mins tryin to conversate and buy a cd off them.. (just cant help to notice how cute the spanish girl was, so i stayed longer, trying hard to speak spanish.. and failed miserably.. )

well the picture didnt come off so gudd but i was sure she was cute, :)

one thing bout europe, i never fail to notice that there is music everywhere, like music performed off the streets, in the tube and in the station. well, i was in London Underground and i nv failed to notice really good jazz and blues music echoing around and i was like yea i`m gonna buy a cd from them.. but i just nv happen to see them anywhere~!! its like they`re hidden or i was just not bothered enought to look for them.. haha.. (there goes your 10 pounds pal) and i was astonished to know that yeaa u play music in the station, but NOT ON THE TUBE~ it was in italy during my tube ride that suddenly i caught some urmm.. really badd singing while being on the tube? and like omg~ if they suck youre stuck (it ryhmes ;) hehe) and youre gonna be with them sucking all the way there till youre on your stop.. and on top of that~ you have to pay for the sucky music~? can u imagine? but it is funny that they travel only like from this certain stop to another, and from another to the other it will be like some other performers come onboard. its like a territory marking or something... its like, you Sing here, i`ll Piss in Ure ThRoat~!! roAR~!! haha.. but all of them nv goes to the central station.. there the authoroties tends to piss more on them.. haha..

you know, i never was such a junkie to travelling, like omg who doesnt wanna go on holiday? yea, i wud admit now that travelling is fun~! yay! and sometimes, travelling alone or just the two of u would be perfect. you know, sitting out wasting time in the airport or any termini, getting to know the cute girl next to u, doing what u nv thought of doing b4 u go out, wud be fun...

i wud really like to travel during this summer, but my finances are already tight and i miss home like i could trade anywhere else in the world for it.. come to think bout it.. i nv really did take pictures of home when ever i go here or there? i mean thou i see it everyday but its still a place? whats a better place to start taking photographs but ur home? hmm.. to all u cute girls out there i dun mind taking photos in your hse? hahaa jsut call me~!

~ever imagined whats behind the horizon?~

BaTH?? U meAn sHOWer?

2007-04-18T15:42:00.000-07:00

rite, its a fast paced week and it zoomed by so fast that my days of revision is shorter and yet i am still stealing some time to run away to bath.. my first impression was, 'o yea~ we're gonna have a hot bath in Bath~!' haa.. but lil that i know that i am only allowed to bath in my lil ensuite bathroom.. haha.. i nv noticed that it was actually a museum where ppl bath.. for gawd sakes come to my bathroom i`l give u a full tour of it in 15 or 5 minutes tour~! haha..

well, first the day was a bit dissapointing cause the bus came late and when we reached Bath we realised we didnt have time for the main course, stonehedge.. oh well,, at least let me bath in the museum~! noooo.. i didnt.. instead i went for a tour in the museum and spent time listening to the audioguide which really reminds me of my trip in Italy.. and i`m sooooooo sick of museums.. but at least i did get to snap some good pictures..

rite, lemme give u my 2 cents worth of information harvesting from my audioguide... the water which runs here is hotttt.. and u can see steam there and the sulfur build up from the source where the water was heated up.. earth.. ;P

rite, this is where all the naked guys and gurls bath together till there was some regulation prohibiting them from doing that EVER again.. doesnt it sound sad? well, somehow i dunno why the romans left this bath house to ruins till it was discovered again when the flood sudsided.. tada~! a bath house.. with icky water.. it was a rather cold day so u still can see the steam the water realeases cause its still hot..

f.yi. the water here taste really baddd...

the group that thinks they didnt had enuff of mesuems.. haha.. and one on the most rite an escapee from milan of boredrome (who went bath for more)

well there wasnt much for Bath anymore, cept for the Roman Bath house, the Pump Room where we had the really 'not-so-worth-it' lunch.. churches and a really nice garden where we wasted time and for Karen to fall around.. wheee.. sipliak.. 'i fell' haha...

rite, we were suppose to have visited some really old stones stacked on each other, but sadly we hadnt the chance or time to go.. but think bout it it wasnt worth the money for the trip to stonehedge, so i decided to snap a picture from the postcard.. haha.. F.yi. this is not my camera.. i wish it was.. but it wasnt.. haha.. well nobody really knows why the stones are there.. maybe its for worshipping or somethign..

well.. after trip to bath i went down to london to visit some friends and had lotsa food.. but on the otehr hand i was suprised that i lost 2 kgs.. hmm.. weird huh? i was being a pig~! honestly.. maybe pigs loose weight too huh? =.= haha...

and now i`m back here.. back to reality.. facing the hard fact that i need to study now for my exams next month.. and on the other hand, knowing the fact that i`ll be home soon.. NEXT TRIP~! CAMBODIA~ so wait for my info soon.. will accept donations for my trip to CAmbodia.. haha just msg me..

BisCuit Trails...

2007-04-07T17:01:00.000-07:00

so i notice that blogs are the trend which i severely lagged in picking up.. i`m just astonished by the number of people who are actually bloggin now.. some full of craps and others full of rambles and some actually are interesting. take a step back ladies and gents, what makes a good blog? an interesting one where people will actually spend time reading it? well who knows, maybe those who actually have a big ring of friends are the famous and harcore supporters themselves, some like kenny sia's blg actually spreads throught the web for its fame as a funny blog.. well i read it a few times and actually he was or is kinda guud. haha..

so enuff of this and time for some biscuit crumbs for ya`ll.. today was a hippy happy day as we cooked a big ass wok of tom yum and i have to say it was great, well wasnt as great as authentic thai tom yum, but i can say its he best we could get in bristol.. but thats not the climaz of the story, it was when Sern Wei actually decided to cut his hair or shave his head.. haha.. but lil does he know that shaving his head ended up with a cool new hairstyle for him.. and whoa~ i gotta say shaving his head is really tidious work and ure ears actually hurt, cause of Ms.Karens RambLings (especially with ehco in the bathroom) hahaha..

so few hours of shaving with a tiny ass shaver, loads of ear tirin' rambles, and a few touch of shaving of lil' excess hair, leaves a attitudeD Sw. haha.. now i can say i have a punk ass brother.. haha..
well, that was that for what happened today.. spring is here, and i think the weather is a lil screw up.. the sun is going OT now.. doesnt go down till 8 ish and it feels really wierd... haha but its still not strong enuff to penetrate or screw up my sleeping time... gawdd.. i just love sleeping.. but heck exams here and i really really really and i really meant really, that i need to buck up.. haha

~the view from my Kitchen~

well, i guess its enuff fer now, will go to london and bath nxt week, hopefully i can get some nice pictures again and i really hope i could get a SLR camera..haigh.. any donations? ;)

BonGioRno ItaLIa~!!

BonGiORno~!!!
Pizza, Pasta, Gelato and PregO~ all these beats the hell out of business for Mc donalds, but truely the pizzas there are much better than your local Commercial franchise of pizza restaurants. But being in Italy for almost a week, beats the appetite of u having the same food for all 3 courses of meal a day.. gawd i cant keep count of how many cups of gelato i have had.. haha.. thanks to Karen, i`m labellin her the gelato girl or the Nocoila Girl.. and the Poo Sniffer.. first few hours arriving in Rome, she starts to detect dog Poos here and there and even under the rocks.. truely amazing.. (she saved us from lotsa poos, hahah) and how can i forget to mention the infamous MR.swei who left us with much memories for laughter in London (Left out from the Tube) yet in Italia.. haha.. i agree it was the Bed's fault.. (wink*) hahah, and our MR. Contra and no smiley on photos Mr Julian.. cause of this.. there wasnt much to say;) well hope u like the photos..

MusiK & PhoTos..

2007-03-23T18:16:00.000-07:00

hmm.. i surfed the net today as i had restless nites and kept on not waking up on time for classes.. well its just usual for me, its the 'last few classes' impulse.. haha
ahem.. back to the main topic.. everyone indulges in music, certain people have a good taste no doubt bout it, but certain just have a weird mix.. but hell its music.. i came across some artist which i forgotten after being here for so long and due to the reason that i lost 30gb of my precious mp3s, and i favored them in my list and included them in here, u can see down below..

as a music person i truely adore chillouts, jazz, blues and oldies.. practically anything that rings the ryhme in me.. Zero 7, well its wookiee.. but then Thievery Corruption flashes on the screen and i was mann, i havent listen to that for ages.. and when i did i cant help but being hooked to it again and this time i was madddddddd for chillouts.. oh gawdd.. i`m just so sick of chinese, RnB, Trance music for once~! i cant admit my sudden adore for TC, i just U*blushes?* fell in lurrvveee.. hahah

and what can be a better blog with gud chillout music and certain funky uptodate tunes.. and certainly some photos where u can feast ure eyes upon the hensem me and my shallow and beginner like hobby for photography.. well i cant deny that there are definately ppls blog whose are far more better than mine, but its just a lil me that i wanna share with ya`ll TC's music for now.. and a sudden jizz of randomness of my picture collections, just felt like i shud put some pictures up again,,,hmmmm

bangkok~ well what do we think of when that name is spoken of.. lots of hidden jewels and suprise that can be found even in the corner or dead end of a street.. u`ll be amazed what can be found there.. now now.. dont think of naughty things, what i meant was food.. its everywhere, anytime, and everything.. too bad i didnt take many pics during the trip last year.. a 1 week trip was mistaken to be a 3 day trip for me, tht meant that i literally packed and brought money just for 3 days.. haha.. but everything was cheapo enuff and easily managed, so it was tht hard to survive in bangkok for a week..

cant say much cause not many pics was taken, but my upcoming trip is to italy and i promise loads of pics and stories to tell.. btw, i made 'ba gua'~ haha in UK~ believe it or not.. it was bad enuff tht my dad sent it to me but i cant eat it.. cause it went bad and was not consumeable.. but alas my desperation pushed me enuff to make some for my self (i think it even taste better than the oris..hmm) and not to forget to mention my Kaya..haha..

So folks.. till after Italy.. :)

I can OnlY Imagine~

2007-03-11T18:49:00.000-07:00

imagination, a weapon we have to dwell far into the future and live off our dreams for a second. there are many things that we could imagine of and would think that do they really exist? one thing i know, that there are whole lotsa possibilies in this world. no one ever wondered or ever imagined that the happenings today was thought of before. imagination, power that stretches to every corner of the earth and every inch of our brain, of what we are capable to think of.

thus imagine how strong are u, how proud are u, how affection are u to the people who matters to you. http://youtube.com/watch?v=h8i_2_S6yJw watch this, and i tell u this, his wish was just to imagine one day that he could push his dad.

sad, but i never ever imagined that there was someone this strong and affectionate. even if i do, nv imagined the feeling i would hve after wathing it.

all what i said above doesnt make sense? watch the vid, u`ll geddit..

P.s. to the Person in the vid, i applaude u and truely am touched by u. God Bless.

What UrE goOd At?

2007-03-03T07:59:00.000-08:00

today, it was a normal day trip to the gym. what i didnt notice before was the TKD training going on for a tournament tomorrow. my senses reacted automatically looking and starring at them training and weighing each other for categories..

man.. really brings back those memories.. made me reflect upon myself on what i was good at.. TKD.. somethign which i really liked and enjoy doing.. going to tournaments together in a group representing districts.. traning, enduring those pain and sweat together with all your friends.. trips.. wow.. really brings back those of what i was accustomed to before.. but not anymore..

as times when things went on as each of us mature and gain in seniority everythgin just changes to jealousy and disrespect.. on thing politics.. really frustrates me and dissapoints me.. and thats the end of my days in TKD..

so have u really wondered what are u good at? or what were you good at? thinking of it.. i cant really find one thing that i liked as much as TKD and miss those days.. today, cant find anythign special or anythgin that i am good at as i was in TKD.. what i`m good at rite now is procastinating~ haha..

so think bout it.. what are u good at? i mean really good at that u`ll come into the spot light everytime u do it.. and u never got bored of doing it. do you regret that all your long years of life to realise actually youre good at nothign? i really cant think of any for me.. i guess those days are no longer for me but at least we know its never too late to be good at somethign~

uuRghHH~

2007-02-28T19:27:00.000-08:00

and ahem... haha now mS. SHioW wEn.. My ad Hoc master of the Trip.. where i had involuntarily became a slave without knowing.. being a pig, dog, and cow.. haha..

and Lastly muah.. one thing bout travelling.. people say that taking pictures really saves us those sweet memories of bullying and sweetness we endured during the trip.. but i think personally pictures tells u less than half what happens... what photos we took (3gb of it) cant really describe of what we experienced during the trips.. many cant be put into words but only can be remembered and felt.. the people we meet and the different languages we hear are truely amazing and i would definately challenge myself to a lone trip across countries like those guys one day.. and definately what happened to us and experienced by us was cause i wud hate to admit those 2 above.. haha thanks and hope u had a nice memorable trip:) thanks for the PreseNT (i call it Apology Pressie for Non-stop Labour) haha...

yea, thats what all december and most of my january has been.. hauling my ass here and there.. i have never walked so much in my life and to think of it maybe i`ll wear skates next time i`ll be going anywhere..

--- Valencia Spain ---

alright.. waiting for the plane wasnt as fun as i thought it would be.. reaching london early in the morning waiting for the next bus to stansted was dreadfully cold and alarmingly sleepy.. so i decided to put a lil' humour out till one of them actually snaped my picture..

Well the trip consists of 3 stooges one being me, the irreluctant slave, 2nd one Ms cOmmenT on All(Shiow Wen), and the 3rd One Ms. cAmera (Priscilla Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)

well Valencia wasnt such a bad place and being away from UK i have never seen so much sun ever since september.. hence, we quickly hauled our asses to the nearest Tapas Bar and filled our lil' tummies (Which were growing bigger on the trip) with the Cant miss Spanish Tapas..

It wasnt till there that i had a chance to try out my 3 min lesson on how to speak spanish.. but i guess it all ended up in gibberish so we ended up poking here and there for food...haha.. Valencia is a small city so not many of them know how to speak english.. 'habla ingles?', thats the best spanish i can speak.. haha..

well, after fueling up we didnt miss the opportunity to do some sight seeing and enjoy most of whats left of the day.. the city was awesome and the sun was what i was enjoying the most..however cause its the first day and we were really tired from the after lunch syndrom.. we decided that we should head back to our crib and enjoy a nice afternoon nap.. well there wasnt much to see around in the afternoon anyways cause the Ciesta is there and every one goes back to nap.. we're in spain, so we do the spainish way.. CiesTA~!!

Well i really cant resist putting up the picture of the lady in the crib which we were sleeping in.. Home Backpackers.. nice cozy chill out place to stay.. really my taste..
Cept for the occasional Growling and Raggin' my Ms SW and Ms Priscilla Hiiiiiiiiiii does.. really breaks the mood ya knoW? ;)

well it wasnt till the sun falls down that we decided to climb out of our comfy beds and warm sheets.. we decided that we should hunt for the famous Paella which the Spanish brags about but it wasnt till later in barcelona that we had our bite of that..
thats some of the views in Valencia but we didnt get to see much and headed back to our crib as soon we had our sad MC D for dinner.. ;(

well it wasnt till tomorrow that we visited most of valencia, we headed for the beach as it was a beach city and what youre seeing is the mediteranian sea.. dont expect there to be lotsa bikini girls walking around and hunks here and there.. its winter ladies and gentleman... all we saw was a few 'fat sealions' ie. Fat Locals or what soever in bikinis bathing what left of the sun..

well i can tell you that Valencia is certainly two cities in a city i would say.. one being really old and preety and the other being really modern and urbanised..

thus, we reach on of the attraction which were on the map and looked nice on the postcards (thats where we travel to, anywhere which looks nice on the post cards.. haha)

thats one of the supposingly 'Wow!' science center.. well it was certainly 'Wow' compared to much of the buildings in Valencia but it was certainly the most modernised building there..

before the sun sets we manage to get to the highest point of Valencia to enjoy and see the city being lit in the sunset.. the church was that high but climbing was surely a hectic one.. thanks to Ms. Priscilla Hiiiiiiii.. climbing it was like everest.. not to mention that going down was even worse~!!! haha.. after fooling around on top of a church and Being 'DongGggEddd' under a Big ass bell we finally made our descent to enjoy a nice cold Cone of ice cream.. honestly.. ice cream never tasted so gudddddd in my life before.. maybe that was after we encountered 'the steps of EVEREST' in the church. ps. anyone travelling with Ms Priscilla Hiiiiiiiiii... never walk behind her or in front of her.. either u get dragged down or slowed down... ahahaha alright enuff of that... Valencia wasnt much but it was sure a good start to warm up our feets and hearts to expect what was set in our next destination.. hence it was a train trip 'Renfe' to Barcelona~!!

another location means waking up early, waking the girls up, listenign to Ms SW non stop yapping of how doggly and cowly i am..( what ever that means in chinese) and Ms. Priscilla hiiiiiiii public apprearance which takes way long to prepare before we could move.. haha.. thou i acted like the tour guide i had a part-time job as a manual labour and the un-gentlemenly behavioured guy.. >P

to the right Ms SW, My stuck with travel companion and lets hope so will treat me better friends. 3 days down and a week more to go for manual labour and harsh comments.. haha.. ;) (i survived)

To the Right Ms Priscilla Hiiiiiiii, Celebrity Of The Group
there is certainly more pictures which i could upload but uploading them all would be insane.. i guess the best way of visualising what of Valencia is being there physically and you would definately see what i mean...
well our next destination is Barcelona whcih is another magnificient city bearing the famous architect Gaudi and mcuh more... but till the next upload i shall let up digest and imagine the cruelty of facing these 2 for the entire trip~!! haha ;P

Well its my first entry again, yea i am starting to blog again.. haha.. i was just amazed with the amount of people who are actually blogging now.. initially i thought that is was all rubbish for people who have no where else to spend their time.. but after reading some blogs.. i actually was suprised how good they are (sowee sowee.. haha) well i must say i am wrong and even then i am inspired to actually spend sometime here.. :) its been about 3 months ever since i landed in UK.. well what can i say? i am still trying to settle in..

well to my friends at home.. this is a Rm 30 'bagel'.. haha u have no idea how reluctant i am to spend.. haha but cant help it.. its either gruu gruuu gruuuu~ in ur stomach all the way or u just have to spend the £4.. haha but its amazing how much noise u can actually hear during lectures here.. its what i call the CrIes of The STomach~ haha.. u can actually hear people's stomach right next to u grOwlinG foR fuddd... hahah (gRuuu gRuuu Gruuuuu~) haha.. well its just the weather cant blame them..

So like i tell ya, its not easy for everyone to adapt here easily.. the weather here is either cold.. or ITS TOO COLD.. haha.. never too cold or too hot.. neither of the exteme.. but i guess in msia isnt that gud either.. haha but i definately miss the sun and sweat from walking round the streets.. here u get 'so clean' u actually forget to bath.. haha( paiseh paiseh)

ahhh.. home cook fuuddd.. tofu, egss, really salty chicken and more eggs.. hahah.. well self made fud with frens here aint 'tai thong' or anything but it sure made us full.. (well we just have frens who are really bad in estimatin how much to cook)

i never wondered in my life what to eat for luch and dinner in my life? i guess in msia fud is just all around u, u just eat what u see, u see what u eat.. haha.. we actually have to scratch our heads here to think of what to cook.. haha.. well 'fan O kK seK fan' nv sounds better.. haha

and yea.. this is one of the 'no i dont wanna cook' syndrome attacking in.. so we just decided to eat out.. typical english fuudd.. nothign beats a 'wan ton mee' or 'fuk kien chau' haha.. well this was actually our first meal out during our first trip to bristol.. haha sounds nice huh? well its just £6 for 2 plates.. nothing expensive or fancy.. its just Rm 40++ for Dumm DUmm Taters.. ;( hahaha...

one thing we learned being here.. never to convert too much or u`ll realise that end of the day u`ll be stuck in ur room with the fear or the MoNSter ConvErsIOn RAtEs~! haha.. but well i guess sooner or later u`ll get stuck in your room by hook or by crook.. OMG there is just too much work! haha honestly i have never been so hardworking in my life? but i guess the laziness thing just doesnt go away like that.. ahah i ACTUALLY PLANNED TO LAZE AROUND TODAY~ (Cheers~~ yay~!!)

uhuh.. this is my sad room and my sad window view which i practically peek at everyday cause there is practically nothing to do.. haha.. well my room is much more furnitured now and messy due to 'civilization' in the room.. well u cant actually see but the gym is actually outside my window.. so u`ll get to see loads of either 'lards' or mucle entering it.. well i am of course in the middle struggling which community i should apply in.. well winters telling me to eat more!! and the gym there is telling me to get ure fat ass here.. hmm i`m still thinking.. haha..

well how can i actually not publish anythign bout my 'lovely' Bristol city which kept me all bored out which in turn kept me in my room studying.. omg i owe U A BUNCH~! CRAp.. well u see is what u see.. thats the city... shopping centres not bigger than Petaling Street.. yeap.. thats practically the city.. well the size of the city that is.. not the stuff they sell there.. here what they sell is practically hot dogs, and china made shoe shops where it is on sale all year long (which defeats the point of having a sale) or shops which say 'CLOSING DOWN SALE' for god knows how long... haha..

well if i have more time i will definately enjoy putting up more pictures and tell u all bout it.. ;) i am going spain and paris in next week.. so hopefully i will snap darn lotsa pics.. haha..
