Cameron Highland Trip.

Went to Cameron Highlands last weekend. Not much on the town cuz didn't go to the town in Brinchang or Tanah Rata. Anyways, here are some of the pictures we took during the trip.

Scouting for places to take photos. Cam whore....whahahahaha

1st stop. Looking at flowers and flowers and more flowers.

Hydroponic Lettuce. Yummy!! There's red lettuce too.

Kea Farm Market. Lotsa flowers and vegetables. Stopped here to get vege for steamboat later. :P

View from atop Gunung Brinchang. The hike up was awesome but tiring. However, it's well worth it. The view is simply breathtaking.

Fern. Seems to me that there's lotsa fern trees. Must be the cold weather.

Another fern tree I think. Very tall.

That's Gunung Brinchang. 3KM up.

There'll be more pictures. Lazy to edit it.

Cameron Highlands

Teaser Photo of more to come. There's around 900+ photos to look at and select. I'll be posting it all up real soon. :)

Weekend Trip

2007-07-14T01:47:00.000+08:00

Notice: Off To ~~Cameroon~~ Cameron Highlands for the weekend. Cheerios!!
Strawberries are sour there.

Penang Bridge Run

2007-07-07T01:31:00.000+08:00

Juz starting to run and my hands are shaking ady... :( Some of the pics I took with my shaking hands. Blurry and makes you headache. Anyway, I joined the 10KM Fun Run. And I thought there were supposed to be drinks station along the way. In the end, apa pun tarak. KNN.

Starting point, everybody still laughing and smiling. Wait you...when wanna finish, all pucat gila babi.

I'm flying!! Actually ran to the pedestrian crossing to take photos. Too bad no tripod. If not.. wont have shaking pictures. :P

This is the part where those with cameras stop and took photos. Again only this came out nice. No tripod. If got tripod and a zoom lens and a dslr. I could've taken a pretty decent shot.

Change the shutter speed to go real slow. Those marathon runners sure are fast.

Lonely fishing boat. Collecting the buoys for the day I think.

Twin Towers of Penang. hahaha. I forgot what the hell the name is ady. It's in Batu Uban there la the address.

Not unlike Taipei 101. Quake proofed. And hell its so beautiful.

Am I Active?

2007-07-02T01:34:00.000+08:00

Was in Kulim last Saturday. Actually went to the Career Expo, which was a disappointment. Pack like sardines. And the body odour is just too powerful. Amazing how I manage not to throw up. Anyways, went to The Tree Top Walk Sungai Sedim which was 20-30 minutes drive away from Kulim High Tech Park. It boasts the longest canopy walk in the world. Took us around an hour to finish circling the canopy walk. Interesting.

The entrance to the main attraction.

Some of the materials and tools used to construct the walk way. Fascinating for civil engineers.haha.

Opposite is where we will start the walk. Interesting. And it doesn't shake or move a lot. But my dad was complaining of dizziness.

Maximum allowed - 30 pax. I don't wanna step onto it if there are 31 ppl on it now do I...

There's the river - Sg. Sedim. The whole place is a hutan lipur. God knows what it stands for. And people go rapid shooting on this river. Rapid shooting is going down stream real fast on a canoe/ kayak while not getting yourself killed. That's what it is.

Look carefully and you'll see a person on a tube going down stream. This is fun. Let's do it some time.

So the shadow was cast on both ways. Left and right. Right and left. And yes there's holes on the walk way. So that you can see all the way down down down.

The tree was actually swaying to the breeze.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Oops sorry. Got carried away.

No. Looking down like this won't hurt you bits. You might piss yourself if you're afraid of heights.

River, like never before. Oooh, cry me a river. Cry me a river. Bloody JT.

I also dunno why i take this photo.

Bamboo!! But where art thou, me pandas??

This is tricky. It's as close as it gets. I was shaking becuz the camera is so close to the river and the water is splashing here and there. And it's freezing cold. Nice? hehe :P

Same view but at different shutter speed. No, it's not flash.

THE NEXT DAY (SUNDAY)

Padang Dato' Keramat. Penang Cup - Paintball. Was there for a couple of hours. Lazy to take pictures, more interested in looking at them running around and not getting hit by pellets. I saw a girl fainted. Hit by a pellet or two, right smack on the head, ngam ngam on top the face mask ends. I think. haha.. Rumours anyway.

Before the start. Markers aimed to the back. And do those silly stances while waiting for the marshalls to countdown. Freaking nerve wreaking.

Run hide dodge kill. Motto of all the teams. Just don't get hit by the pellets. Believe me, I've gotten one on my hand. It stings.!!!!!

Anyway, here's a video of the game. Video recorded using Nokia N70. Commentary provided by a friend of mine in Hokkien (very minimal). Click play. :) And pls pls pls tell me about the quality. I lazy to check. It's 3 minutes long. Have fun. Btw, this is the new feature using Blogger Draft. :)
Yippie-kay-yay, motherfucker. ..

And One more thing. TRANSFORMERS ROCKS!!!! I might go watch it 2nd time. Bloody hell!! If you no watch TRANSFORMERS, you'll fail to watch the Movie of the Year!!!
Transform and Rollout!!

Long Boi

2007-06-25T19:28:00.000+08:00

Birthday Boy.
No cakes, but one big bowl of fish balls. Steaming hot. And surprisingly delicious. I don't usually like to eat fish balls. But this is nice and the soup has a tinge of liquor in it.

Chi lei.. I ordered 'hai lei'. So damn bloody embarrassed. Nothing special.

When my friend ordered this dish, we were like...WAT? Why order this? Nothing special wan. haha. Boy of boy, we were so wrong. The fish ball is very 'q' - springy. And the soup is simply irresistible.

Had to let him take the 1st bite. haha.

Fried prawns in flour. How do you call this dish. 'He Chnih'. Crispy.

Stingray. Not 'Hanga Hu' is 'Phek Kia'. The flesh is very juicy and has better taste than the average stingray used. The gravy is spicily nice. haha.

One of the two crabs that we ordered. What can I say. I like crab with big ass - 'what do u call that' claws'? hahaha...

Hold it up. Like a necklace that you can wear.

What was left of the crab. Almost nothing. haha

Clean Thoroughly. Thanks to our huge appetite.

Can't resist a group photo. I think we are photo fetish. Not me. I'm not. I dun usually like taking photo of my fat face. :)

Ok..So we are fucking vain. :P
How's the food? The food is nice. The place is kinda hard to describe. And I forgot the name of the restaurant. All I know is the place in in Long Boi ... somewhere in Air Itam/ Farlim area. Yummy!!!

Dragon Boat Festival

2007-06-25T02:37:00.000+08:00

Just ran in the Penang Bridge Run today. And I'm updating on a post 2 weeks ago I should have post. haha. Anyway, I'll be getting the Penang Bridge run photo from my cousin when I ask from her. Hopefully soon. :) Fingers Crossed.
This Dragon Boat Festival is an international event held I think annually in Penang. I was kinda hoping for a nice boat that looks like a dragon. But sadly there is none. :(

Satellite image of the Teluk Bahang Dam.

Close up on the venue for the dragon boat race. The circular thing in the water is actually sort of a tower to measure the water levels in the damn. As seen below.

This is huge. Lake. In Penang that is. Not unlike the one in Pahang - Tasik Kenyir.

The dam. Over looking the sea.

The rain came and it was pouring moments after I noticed the clouds behind. Damn it was heavy.

Where's me boat, matey??

The ladies team getting ready.

Yours truly, SiowJM. hehe. Standing beside a dragon boat used for the competition. The weather looks hot. In fact it was raining just minutes before. And it's so muddy and wonderful.

Bukit Genting - The Verdict

2007-06-22T22:48:00.001+08:00

2 weeks ago, went to Bukit Genting for dinner. Apparently the thai restaurant is quite famous. My verdict is in. hehe. For directions there, can refer to the maps below.

The road up to the restaurant was steep. VERY STEEP!! But the view was breathtaking. Can't take photos when going up. Two hands on the steering wheel. If not, I'd be hurtling down the hill. Don't want that to happen. I think the reason why the restaurant is appealing is because of the view. "Romantic" labeled on through and through.

The entrance at the foot of the hill which is situated quite hidden from the main road. Might miss it if didn't look carefully. It says "Bukit Genting Eco Tourism".

Omelette with stuffing a la thai. There's cucumber, carrots, peas, and corn. We ordered a small plate. For a good reason, it wasn't bad. Just not that great. I bet my grandma can do one better.

Fried KangKung. Now this is interesting. And tasty too. I liked this dish the most. And there's hidden 'dynamite' in the form of cili padi. Nearly bombed my mouth if not for my sharp eyes. haha. Actually my fren told me about it, if not. Urgh...Don't wanna think about it.

Otak Otak. This dish is disapointing. A little too dry. And not as fragrant as I thought it would be. Partly because the missing indgredient, 'chai ko kam'. Ask ur mummy what's that. I dunno the english equivalent. And it's seafood otak otak. 2 prawns only? Come on... can do better la.

The appetizer. What's this called?.. I think it is called mengkom. Something like that. I like the sauce in the middle. What you do is use the leaf and wrap everything in it and then top up with the sauce. Yummy.

The reason why the place is so popular despite the mediocre food. The sunsets! The view is simply beautiful. Stunning.

Balik Pulau town. Nicely nestled at the foot of the hill overlooking the sea.

I think this is Teluk Kumbar town. I think.
The food is not as nice as what some of my other friends mentioned. But the view compensate it hugely. For a moment, you'll forget about the food and just stare at the open space with the sunset. Then when it's dark, you'll realise that a huge chunk of your money is spent on climbing up the steep hill and enjoying the sunset.
My friends said it is an ideal place for couples to enjoy. hehe. Gotta go find me one now to enjoy.
Hahaha.

Tao - The Verdict

2007-06-22T14:36:00.000+08:00

On a wonderful Sunday evening last few weeks ago, my friends and I decided to try out Tao Cuisine, a restaurant located at Auto City and E-gate. Needless to say, we're all excited. 1stly, we get to cross the Penang Bridge. And 2nd, it was a picturesque sunset. I was trying not to think about the review that Yung wrote when he went there. Anyway, here's mine. :)

Penang Bridge. Sunset. Twilight.

Sri Ayutthaya. I guessed it's a Thai Restaurant. Looks Expensive. :P One day. I might try having a meal there. :)

Here we are, Tao. Translated as 'teaching'. Teaching in mediocre food served? We'll see... Unlike the branch in e-gate, this one has a lounge with live band playing at night. And of course the restaurant is right at the back. RM45 ++ for the buffet dinner. So far it's looking up.

The Menu. I think they serve a la carte and set lunches too. And the price that they quote in it got me thinking. I ain't coming here for lunch. OR dinner if they serve a la carte. So bloody expensive. Might as well go to Equatorial. Spend more. Nearer. Nicer.

Sashimi - that's for a person portion. So can order as much as you like. They served sushi too BUT fucking hell, even sushi king has better sushi than them. The fish is not fresh. The rice is not soft. And the vinegar that they used, I suspect is the 'el-cheapo' type. What a huge turn off. But the sashimi is commendable. Not fresh fresh, but just fresh enough to be served. Luckily, the wasabe is not stale. Thank God for that.

And yes, yours truly is still smiling away because a good dinner is not when it's taken alone, but with friends. I ain't smiling for the food though. But the service is good. Wonder why?...

I think they are holding the Tao Handroll. Something like that la. Not bad. The taste.
We ordered lots of food. I was half hoping the food to be better. The cawan mushi is not smooth. And I noticed that most of the food is cooked creamier, richer in milk or butter or cheese. That didn't stop me from ordering 40 sets of scallop. That's 120 pieces. AND IT"S SMALL!!
If you wanna check out the menu. Can do so by clicking here.
My verdict: 4/10. It's refreshing to see different kind of restaurants in Penang. But food quality wise, could be better. And cut down on the butter, cheese and creamy stuff. It's not appetizing. Surprisingly, a lot of people I talked to liked Tao. Uh... beauty is in the eye of the beholder? You tell me.

And the toilet. What's a guy doing with a sanitary pad in the Male Restroom. Come on. I'm not having period cramps.
Thank you.

Siput Lala Post

2007-06-21T21:49:00.001+08:00

Last few weeks ago we went siput and lala expedition in Gertak Sanggul/Teluk Kumbar. Some Google Maps shots of the place. It's actually a place where it is famous Mee Udang.

Organiser of Siput Lala Expedition. GD.

Not ur typical "lala muis". They are not. hehe.

Siput Lala FTW!!!

Discussing strategies on murky grounds. Muddy waters more like it.

Cat and her muddy find. eww...

Jason working hard at digging.

We want more!!!

Admiring the sunset or so it seems.

It is one of the days. Nice weather.

Sunset

2007-06-12T17:26:00.000+08:00

Sunset..View from the top of Bukit Genting in Balik Pulau. Scared the shit out of me when going up the hill. Damn steep. But well worth it. Chilly, I think. Haha. Can't really feel it, my fat is getting thicker.

Laziness

2007-06-11T01:00:00.000+08:00

Lately, been lazy in updating my blog. Partly cuz of the pictures that I took aren't what I expected it to be. Partly, my pot belly is getting bigger. But nonetheless, did have a good time for the past week or so.

Graduation Photos

2007-05-31T21:04:00.000+08:00

Hehe... Here are the photos of my graduation day.
Group Photo Nombor 1. Taken in front of the Student Services. Near the toilet summore. haha. And the weather was sweltering hot. Imagine us in the bloody hot regalia and the topi. Fuh...hot.

The gals having a go at throwing their - wat do u call that - thingy. Practice makes perfect.

Me, and two ex group mates. Frens la now. Takkan enemy right? If enemy, I sure color their face liao la. =P

The View from ME building right after the canteen aka cafeteria(for all you wannabes).

Me, me dad and me mum. They say my dad looks like japanese? uh... whahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahha

Three leng luis sitting beside me. Wooo....

Keat(me housemate) and Chica(me fren).

Find me if you can. =P

Sham and Elaine(me fren). Background is Mdm Bibi. All taught me before. 'SALUTE'
Pressure cooker. In between two 1st class honours students. Shiver me timbers.

Me classmates. yea, they are me classmates!

Miri

2007-05-19T11:35:00.000+08:00

On the way to Miri. Can't really get a nicer picture cuz of the reflection of the window pane. What a pain in the ass. Tried so hard. hahaha.

Miri Airport at night. That's my dad making a cameo appearance for once in my blog. haha. It looks kinda dark already although it's only 7.30pm evening. Not even night yet!!

View from the walk way in my university. Ex. Alma mater. The lake looks nice huh? Wait till you look at the water. Black is what they call it.

Poser!!! Anyway, posing a bit in front of the whatever thing u call that. Tried hard to keep that smile cuz it's so blardy hot!! The sun is like so fucking near to the earth. Hell on earth.

I'm listening to Bon Jovi while writing this. That's part of Miri town, not town any more City (konon). Near the sea. Lotsa oilrigs around. The tall building furthest right is where the graduation was held. Imperial Hotel.

Turn around and there you have it. Atop of Canada Hill, The Grand Old Lady. 1st oilrig in Malaysia. That's wat kept Miri alive. If not, it would be a town so dead you wont even go near. There's a Petroleum Science Museum beside it. But never seems to be opened every time I go there. 2 years + liao lo.

Another appearance by my dad and this time my mum. Not Mulu tho. It's Batu Niah National Park. Nice place to go. 150km off Miri. Not far away. That's 4km walk into the jungle before reaching the mouth of the cave. Quite fun. haha.

I skipped one day worth of photos for the next post. In the meantime, was in the Miri International Jazz Festival. Oh yeah, before I forget, Genting is gonna host another jazz festival this coming June. Tickets are expensive to say the least. Back to Miri, managed to get free tickets from my fren's fren. Was having one of the best times in Miri. The music was excellent. That's the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, from New Orleans. Bloody hell, they are good!!

That's about it for this post. 10pictures out of the 2oo odd pictures. More to come in the next few post. Stay tuned. hahaha.

Spoiler for next post: Ppl's face gonna get coloured. hahahaha. You know who you are. =P

Pening in Penang

2007-05-18T12:18:00.000+08:00

Bear with me. While I sort out the nice pictures from the good pictures.
While waiting, ponder on the writings of Rachel ... hahaha ... Lingering... I curi from her this passage.

i'd have to say...

why do good things happen at odd times but is at a bad timing?

and

why do bad things happen at odd times but is at a right time?

or is it....

good things happen at a right time

and

bad things happen at a bad time....?

ok basically it all stated above.... that's how i'm feeling now.... and also...

confused.....

but like what NSFR8S says:

"quey sera sera"
*is that how u spell it??*

whoop ~ de~ wooo

Bloody hungry after movies. Cooked a couple of eggs and toast my home-made bread. Awesome!

Chendul. Anyone?

2007-04-24T11:43:00.000+08:00

This is the coffee shop in Penang Road. Right outside the coffee shop is the Famous Penang Road Chendul. Who would want to go in and sit?

I'd rather stand and eat my chendul. As per normal. That's what we normally do. Stand and drink. By the way, Gurmit Singh aka Phua Chu Kang was there before too. There's a picture of him on the stall, with a thumbs up none-the-less.

2007-04-06T03:11:00.000+08:00

It's dark. It's emotional. It reflects my mood.

Lone tree amidst the sea of tomb stones.

Straight road ahead. But is it really straight?

Vines. Branches. Entanglement. Like life, complicated yet beautiful.

Galeria Perdana my foot in my mouth

2007-04-06T00:07:00.000+08:00

So I missed a April Fool's Day. What the heck. I hate it anyways. Stupid thing cant load on the cemetery pics. Here's another one.

My dad's hometown's cemetery. My grandpa is there and so is my ancestors. =)

On the way back to Pertang, that's in Negeri Sembilan (N9). You can close ur mouth now. The name's weird. Wait till you hear Pantai in the middle of the jungle. That's fucking weird. BTW, this tunnel is way way way before N9.

Blue sky altho it's a bit cloudy. Good weather for driving. My dad drove there. I drove back. =)

Another look at the cemetery. That's around 8.30am. Machiam during CNY. haha. Qing Ming.

And yea, it's hot. And smokey. And what nots...lazy to type.

Blooming

2007-03-31T03:26:00.000+08:00

Fresh mint

2007-03-30T19:33:00.000+08:00

Need too resfresh. I love mint. They give you a strong aroma. Not pungent. But the kind of smell that's awakening?...

I have no idea why this is here. But saja la... Haha...

In the end, get some books. Read it. Try the bloody recipe for once. Learn how to cook. I love cooking. :( I really do.

The dick.

2007-03-30T18:14:00.000+08:00

Fucking hell. Previously on the dick. hahaha. Anyway, it's not the dick. It's KOMTAR. Does look tall. Nothing in there, I think. Not sure. And it has been erected since the 80's. hahaha.

Chiong ar...

2007-03-30T18:09:00.000+08:00

2007-03-29T22:26:00.000+08:00

Patience - Take That

2007-02-05T21:08:00.000+08:00

Answered the question i posted myself in the comment section. For you guys/ girls who read my previous entry, pls do try to comment and post it up. Thanks. This song I heard it in the radio. I was blown away? I was touched. It's a nice band. It's a nice song. It's Take That.

Just have a little patience
I'm still hurting from a love I lost
I'm feeling your frustration
Any minute all the pain will stop.

Just hold me close inside your arms tonight
Don't be too hard on my emotions.

'Cause I
Need time
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try and have a little patience.

I really wanna start over again
I know you wanna be my salvation
The one that I can always depend.

I'll try to be strong
Believe me I'm trying to move on
It's complicated but understand me.

'Cause the scars run so deep
It's been hard but I have to believe

Living Life

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

I got to thinking yesterday. Trying to make sense of the purpose that I am supposed to figure out myself. About life. About death. About you. About me.
I was chatting with my crazy buddy GD. He is frustrated. hehe. Partly it's because he's not getting any. haha. And because he is just plain frustrated.
Chinese New Year is just around the corner. 22 years of Chinese New Year celebrations. Wow. I wonder what would the 'older' generation would be thinking, looking back at, say 50 years, of celebration.
Are you happy with your life?

Did things turn out the way you want it to be?
Did you regret not doing any of the stuff you wanted to do?
Did you concentrate on one particular event, and completely forget about the bigger picture?

2007-02-01T20:12:00.000+08:00

Last year my hard disk broke down. Along with it pictures of priceless memories. Don't you wish we have a pensieve to store all our thoughts just like the ones in Harry Potter? What i wanted to say is that i think my digitized hehe..nice word, digitized. photos of my class photo during primary school went to digital heaven together with the hard disk. Since last week there has been talks about a gathering. A gathering that was of utmost importance. A gathering 10 years ago we dream of. A gathering 10 years ago seems laughable. Looking back it is laughable. Humorous.

Let us go back 10 years ago.
10 years ago that I was 12 years old.
10 years ago that seems like yesterday.
10 years ago that we seemed immature except for the gals maybe, they do hit puberty earlier than us guys.

10 years ago we were all in SRJK(C) Kwang Hwa, Sg. Nibong. Gathered in a class on the third storey of a three storeys high building in dark blue shorts and spanking white shirts nonetheless with white shoes and matching socks. The girls wore dark blue pinafores with white shirts and not to mention white shoes and matching socks. Those were the days where Power Rangers and Dragon Ball rules. Then there were 47 pupils. 47 different kids. 47 pupil who couldn't care less about the goings and doings of the world. All we were into is UPSR =P and having the time of our life. That was 10 years ago, sitting on a wooden chair. With worn out table. And a crazy ass damn strict but funny in a way for a class teacher, we called her Yang (her surname) Lao-Shi (teacher in mandarin).

10 years later today. Scattered across the globe. fucking globalization. Some of the ex classmates are in UK, KL, USA, Australia and other places that I do not know. And not to forget me, in Miri, of all places. 10 years later a gathering was planned and is hoping to be materialized cum February the 21st. Currently some of my friends that still keep in contact are trying to scurry about finding those long lost ex classmates. After all, we were once friends. 47 pupils were in the class of 6K. I doubt we can get all under one roof. At most, 20+. If we can achieve that, I think it would be wonderful. We are all 22 years old now. Some are working, some studying, and I bet some are still measuring the road. haha.

After a decade. We still look at each other and think. Hey, I fucking hate you back in school. Hah, that would be a laugh when we all meet. I guessed 10 years later today, we wont hate each other anymore. Or maybe we will, sort of a renewed hatred. hahaha. Oh well, that's life. Hate each other, love each other. That's why we should cherish the hatred and the love. It's not what you can get in the supermarket. fucking globalization. It's something fate drew us all together, hated or not.

Hinder - Lips Of An Angel

2007-01-13T01:11:00.000+08:00

Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet0
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel (And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why you calling me so late

No words.

Mr. Momofuku Ando. Creator of Instant Noodle. Saviour of this Hungry Soul. Passed away on Jan 6 2007. The reason we are not hungry at night. The reason we get to eat after 5minutes of cooking. It is because of his invention. Thank you for not letting me die of hunger in Miri =)

Rare Sight =P

2007-01-06T05:30:00.000+08:00

I kinda like this effect. It's like repeating itself over and over again. The picture is kinda overexposed.

Anyways. Let's start with some pretty ladies. =P
From Left: Chew Yean, Xiao Wei (I hope I spelled it correctly =P), and Gaik Eng

From Left: Lim Chee Chin aka Chin, and Tan Kim Leng aka GD (which stands for Golden Dragon)

From left: Poh Renjie aka Adam aka Power Ranger (he hates ppl calling him that), Yours Truly aka Siow Eh aka JM, Tan Kim Leng aka GD (which stands for Golden Dragon).

Alrighty then... Very rare you can see me without me cap on. So here goes. We were welcoming the new year in Gurney Plaza. Wrong place to be actually. =P Cuz there were just too many people around. Watched a movie before celebrating the new year. I looked weird in that picture. GD looks like he wanna kill some body. Adam looks stoned. hahahahaha. Behind us is Manila Place...Never been in there tho...but the cakes? look good. hehe

NTBD so i play around with my shutter speed and aperture (i think that's what they call it). 4seconds exposure with f/2.8 and iso400 as well as a focal length of 8.0mm. What are those things? i dunno pun. =P

Same setting as above...just that this is all static eg not moving. And i shot it from my balcony using a tripod. Awesome! (i think) hehe.

Vegetables and Eggs a must! And that's a coke on the bottom right (woot to that!) hehe. =P

What do we have there, homemade meat balls better than those Ikea's swedish meatballs. And the normal assortments of balls and more balss!!

Booze a must too. Heineken!!!!! There's nothing better than that. Except maybe Absolut Vodka with lemon and mint. We had that too.

The guy making dim sum in Rope Walk aka Jln Pintal Tali.

So, I was walking back to the car with my frens from the shop when this guy happen to look up and my camera happened to be aiming at his angle. Voila. a nice shot, i think. hehe. And he is not posing or anything, just being him. It brings the colour and life out of the photo. I wanted to get a shot of another guy making cheong fun. but when I went back there, he was gone. Should've taken it earlier. =( owh well...some other time then...opportunity lost...

Church Street Pier

2006-12-29T19:47:00.000+08:00

Church Street Pier est 1897

It would be nice if the barricade wasn't there. Anyways, I dare not move it to other place =P haha.. The backlight was too bright...didnt change the settings...Added some touches to the pic in my comp. And the picture resolution is only 1024*768 so it's a bit lousy. =( no memory that time =P .. I like the pic despite it all cuz of the column that seems to join in the middle. And I can get a sense of depth with the column getting shorter...optical illusion sorts...altho we all know it's the same height. =P

This is the song from the Nokia 5300 ad! Found out from somewhere. Awesome!! Been playing over and over and over again.

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true

Why don't you play the game ?
Why don't you play the game ?

The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore

2006-12-13T14:24:00.000+08:00

I've been twisting and turning,
In a space that's too small.
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall,
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart.
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.

Chorus
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
Its the better thing to do,
Its time to surrender,
Its been to long pretending.
Theres no use in trying,
When the pieces dont fit anymore, Pieces don't fit here anymore.

You pulled me under,
I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth,
Thats breaking my skin.
Well I'll hide all the bruises,
I'll hide all the damage thats done.
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone.

(Chorus)

Ooh don't misunderstand,
How I feel.
Cause I've tried, yes I've tried.
But still I don't know why, no I don't know why.
I don't know why...... why!

(Chorus)

It's been a long while since i typed anything in here. Last few days was hectic. Busy. Busy eating. No pictures of food tho :( forgot to bring the camera around. Went to PC Fair in Pisa. My..my..its jam packed with people and making walking around hard. Gotta squeeze here and there. And the sales girls..woohoo.. :) Nothing interesting, the prices are almost the same except maybe for pendrive ... 2GB for RM97, that's a bargain. and the LCD screen are cheap comparing to other places in Penang. There's a new shopping mall in Penang. Opened last Friday. And it's huge. The project had been stalled since 1997, but now, its back, albeit smaller in size. But no matter, I went there today, again it was unplanned, but tomorrow will go again to take some snap shot. There's three Christmas tree in it. :) huge ones. A lot of empty shop lots, BUT there's 2 Starbucks in it. hehe :P one is the shop itself, the other is in Borders Bookstore. There's Haagen Dasz, and Baskin Robin. And there's TGI Friday. HAAHAH!!!! Hooray to that! Anyways, off for today. Tomorrow hopefully will be back with pictures. Cheers!!
