Any Other Day, You Just Look Around And All You See Is Gone

I think you can tell when I'm bored...Anyways... since I do have alot of time in hand, I might as well update. Before my brain dies on me and all these good moments fade away, I shall note them down. Beginning with my return back home on the 18th Dec 2009. Touch down in the morning and TAGging by night. It was a superb night as EVERYONE was out to party and I havent had that kinda opportunity since, my farewell about 1.5 years ago.

It was such a good feeling to have everyone around. Loving that "attik" picture.

Most of my nights were spent in TTDI... either in the German pub or in TDH. We [me, neekee, yinyi] found gold, when we were recommended to try this pizza meatloaf. omg.. its heaven.
and we've been having pork so often, I felt like a pig...
Managed to catch 2manyDjs. Rocking night!! Sweat it all out.. good exercise.
Got the chance to catch Gareth Emery and Markus Schulz as well.. no picture with Markus tho, but it was all good.

6th-9th January 2010 BKK!!
One of the BEST trips ever!! I would say that it was a rather spontaneous trip, the idea was random but the outcome was nothing short of amazing.
its a BUG'S LIFE! tried eating bugs... but all I could muster was a little worm. Salty....
Sirocco Sky Bar. Breath taking view!
AHahhahaAAha.... excuse the laugh. A mandatory group picture everywhere we go now. ALL IS GOOD!

22nd - 25th January 2010 BALI!!
Yup, a short relaxing trip with just 3 friends. It was very different from Bangkok, but it was still good nonetheless. All we did was walk walk walk, eat, walk walk DRINKKKKK, walk walk Shop, had the most amazing dinner seafood on the beach while watching the sun set along with seabreeze....heaven. Found myself 2 moms from the trip. Mommy MunKeng treats me like a baby, taking food for me n peeling my prawns.

Kuta beach was disgusting tho, full of rubbish floating everywhere! Mommy Kwan was by accident thanks to this STEWPID manicure/pedicure lady who thought I was her son. -____-". Oh, story got diverted. Anyways.. Mommy Kwan found a dirty old plate floating on the water while we were playing in it. Yucks...
Tanah Lot. A must go, if you're in Bali. Spent 95% of the time trying to take emo nemo pictures and Balaeric album covers.

And this, is my favo shot of all, pretty much sums up the trip for me as well. Maybe you cant see it clearly, but shes laughing. A very happy picture despite the emo background. Love the contrast.

I know theres not much to show here... there were just TOOOO many pictures taken and I cant possibly put them all here. Its all on FB already anyways...

And thats how 2 months came to pass. Wish all of my holidays will be as precious as that. Its gonna be tough to beat, but now I'm looking forward to whats got installed for me this coming year's end. Thanks for the great 2 months. Till I see you all again... take care and be good =)

Where Do You Turn, When You Can't Buy It

Wokay... its time for the post mortem of the recent Singapore trip. More like annual trip. First and foremost, I need to say that.. this is my 3rd year, traveling down south for Zoukout. Based on the past 2 years, it gets better every year. I was hoping the same could be said, for this year. Furthermore it was Above & Beyond. My ultimate favourite DJs. Well.. I'll tell u later on, what my verdict is.hehe.

Alright! first up, we began....from the night before? The Penang gang came down to KL a night before which was, Friday. Hung out around Pyramid, had Korean BBQ for dinner, and then to Sid's Pub, for Snake Bite! I think I might have had a LITTLE too much, swallowed the foam at the end, and threw up half of my last pint. Went back home, and continued a little bit more. Woke up the next day with a bloody hang over coz I forgot to drink water before falling asleep. Rendavous point was at Centrepoint McDonalds, for breakfast. I had...Porridge...yuck. And so, by 10.30am, we were off!

Arrived, late evening,checked in, forced myself for a 15mins power nap, dress up, rushed, stressed and carls jr. But, all is good, the moment we entered! The attendance of the night, was incredible. This years event was amazing just by having the company by itself!!

Melbourne picture! of all the people that are and have been to Melb! =) Of course, we're missing out the usual few goats...Wish u were here, guys.

Oh, our 1 year anniversary! Time flies. I reckon I lost weight compared to last year...haha err.. cant say the same for the one next to me tho. hehehehe =p

Our FiRst Zoukout! No.52345345 Sharp photo. This one in particular, is a cooool photo.Good job, squirrel!

Ms. Dubai. Who... SADLY missed A&B by half an hour! hahaha.

Raining Trio! We're still missing you, Slinky! You're always with us. Sorry bout the..slightly evil expression.hehehe

The 2 who made my night..... Jono and Tony... We miss you, Paavo! Guess, no one needs to guess how I felt that night now, right? In short, no words could express how I felt. Song after song, it was like a big tidal wave, hitting me, one after another. Breath taking! And not to mention, I was close to tears AGAIN. Up till now, if anyone asks me what I thought about the night, all I can do is let out this... sigh.. with a big smile. Thats what you call, a satisfying smile! =)


On Monday evening, as we bid our goodbyes to our very nice neighbouring country, we travelled back to Melaka, for dinner! Satay celup!

It was good! albeit my stomach not being in the best conditions. Another memorable trip to wrap up this year. Maybe its because more than half the entourage this year were the same from last years. It kinda makes everyone feel so....i dont know... bonded? Its like everything we did, we think about what happened exactly a year ago, and we wished everyone happy anniversary. Ahh ok... I dont know what I'm mumbling about here, all I wanna say is that, its been a good year all in all, I guess. With the new friends and all. Well... thats gonna go into the next post. A reflection post. =) till then.....


What can you believe in now
With no love to follow?
Now that you have lost yourself
Oh, can anything help you now?

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

In every day I live through

Warning: MIGHT be abit heavy on Pictures....depends on how you see it.hehe

WOot! I'm back again. Alrightey... updates for this week. Road trip to Mt. Dandenong...among other things. Where should I start.... erm... ok Thursday, was the arrival of a visitor from home! Mr. Eugene (lamer) arrived, but I didnt get to see him then coz, we went to the Royal Melbourne Show and was too tired by the time we got back to the city. So.. Friday, we went to Se7en, because thats the one thing that the lamer missed and thats probably his main reason to come all the way back here. I guess in some ways, it was also to have a celebration for all the September babies. We had 2 bottles, but the party didnt end there. The bottles finished pretty quickly. I guess everyone was in the mood to drink, trying to get us September babies down. I managed to dodge a few, and the bottles finished before I felt much. For some, it ended pretty early, but for me... it was like a hungry dog who have not seen food in a million years. Easier said.... what I did, was suicidal. I took memory lost and "kereta terbalik" to a whole new level. RIGHT! moving along! Sat was spent recuperating at home, as I was so hung over, it was beyond hung over....o.O

SUNDAY! we all woke up early... and by early I mean 8am! met up at Slinky's place, where we all were set to gather. The attendance of the day was...Slinky,Nat, Ivan, Cinvin, Eugene, Tracy, Vincent, Jinyin, Matt and myself. 5,hopped on into a poWaRh-fuLL rented car and the other 5 in Matt's car and off we went on our journey. The trip took us... about an hour plus. Our first stop was.... the Tulip farm. I dont think I've ever seen so many freaking flowers in one place, in my life! Well, I have to admit, it was quite pretty.



There were some weird sculptures, among all the flowers. Seriously like thorn among the roses kinda thing.


When you see lonely sculptures stoning in the middle of the fields,keep them company!

After the flowers got boring, and it started reminding me of my assignment, we decided to move on. All the FUNGRY fellas, were eager to have food, any later and we might just eat up those pretty flowers. Supposed to have Miss Marples, or something like that, but it was SUPER FULL HOUSE. We all cant wait so we had Flippin Pancakes instead. Therefore... my lunch was.. pancakes -____-" its alright. Better than nothing. When we were done rejuvenating ourselves, we continued our journey up to the peak. And the view... Fooohh... nothing short of amazing. =)


From up there, we can see almost the whole of Victoria. We could see the city.. which is REALLY SMALL, surrounded by this giant area of suburbs. Pretty cool.

And.. it was a nice and sunny afternoon, so those camwhores did what most white ppl would do when they see sun... Lie on the grass.

I on the other hand... walked around by myself for awhile to see if there was anything interesting to make it into the photo album. Which turns out.... not really. mehh...


Shoe of the day, my NB! its enjoying the view too. =) The rest of the photos will be up in my Flickr album, when I have the time to edit it, and when I have the quota to upload. Currently I'm downloading a massive file that is 14gb or so. Pheww... its been 4days, and i'm still not done! Aight.. till the next time...or next outing....


I'm falling backwards
Nothing matters when you're far away
I need to feel you on my skin
I'm falling backwards
All I have to hold is empty space
I'll be standing still until you're mine again
Falling backwards
Take me in

You're the light that leads to harbor

I have just one more event to wrap up 2007. My Penang trip. I have yet to receive all the pictures from everyone. But I guess I'll have to go with whatever I have now before its too late. ok here goes.....

Dec 27th
Road trip begins with Slinky, the driver, Nat and Derek. Had a little confusion on the road but all is good, we made it safely through the rain, run, cars, idiots and some insects. Before our bags were even dropped off at the place we were staying, we went straight for food. And where else, if its not Gurney drive, then you're not in Penang.

Roadside also want to take pictures.... sighhhhh.....

After that we checked into Stella Maris. This apartment/dorm owned by a church. We were fortunate to have a place as most of the other hotels and all were fully booked. That place also saved our pockets. Thanks to William and mama Loh. First night was pretty much indoors and quiet. The gang of Godbros came over and brought alco. We drank the whole night together with papa Loh. As most of us were tired from the ride, we slept off pretty early.

Dec 28th

We woke up in time for lunch...William brought us along with another friend, Shaun who just arrived from Singapore to Swatow(??) Lane. I had some prawn mee, mee jawa..along with little bits n pieces of everyone else's food. hehe.. you tend to get more greedy when you're there. After food, with nothing much to do, we head down to Segafredo's for beer. I guess, its never too early to drink huh? Chilled till around evening, then we went off to Bukit Tambun for SEAFOOD! It was a pretty long drive, as its further out in the mainland. Oh, we stayed over at the island btw. Yes, loads of seafood...no pictures... Then thennnn..... went back to the Island to QEII. This new..club/bar situated at the harbour.

After alco, nothing better to do, everyone became camwhores. I guess, me included. Not that I really wanted to.. but everyone was so in the mood...soo....no harm yah?



I REALLLLYY... got kissed by them.. uGh.

The mandatory Raining Trio picture. You know how hard it was to take this PRoper picture. Everyone someone poses for the camera EVERYONE wants to get in it. Good picture courtesy of miss Yinyi.

I finally made it to Penang huh? Thanks for coming out and layaning us while we were there.


Look at the alcoholic Slinky caught in action... *tsktsktsk*

Finally... this is the masterpiece of the night. Click to enlarge. In a way, its damn sick....but I like it..hahahah.

The following day, we woke up, had lunch at Gurney Plaza.Slinky and Nat had to go back early so they left. I opted to stay behind and catch the later ride home. Wanna make full use of my time in Penang. Its not everyday that I get to go up there. So I stayed with William, even managed to have the Kuih Kak that I've been craving before heading back home with Yinyi.

I think there are loads more pictures I'm missing but oh well... cant make this post too long! Summary enough.Wooo... I'm done with 2007!!!! Next, the NYE party at SuCasa. I count that as 2008.

Two Worlds Torn Apart

I'm not even done with the 2007 events yet. All my unfinished business. Ok.. I'll make a quick one. Beginning with Christmas. 2007 Christmas was the first year I celebrated with my family. Every other year, its just another excuse to go out to join in some party somewhere. Destination? Genting.

Santa came in a form of a wrinkly "old" man who came to fix the computer.

why "old"? Bcoz he doesnt want to admit that he's old. The older he gets, the younger he wants to be.

Dinner was turkey, ham and sausages.



I saja gatal, took pictures with a knife at their throat... is that like..some pantang thing?

Stupid me forgot the tripod, had to use whatever available. Everyone was too hungry, no one bothered to pose for another shot, so thats the best group shot I've got.


After dinner, we went up to the peak to check out the lights, deco and all

It was SOOOO foggy, cant see much


I pumped up the Iso to 1600, and.. I forgot the shutter speed. Anyways, I just like how the back lights looked like its some kinda explosion while the subjects, me.. and bro n nephew are still not over exposed.

On the way down, we took the cable car. My sister is afraid of heights, she hugged the pole and hid her face the whole way UP and DOwN.



We came back down after the "countdown".

Had the... jello.. something like that. It was so cute. it had Snowmens and candy cane and all

mom cut the snowman's body. Everyone got emo.... because the snowman was headless... or bodyless.haha

It was pretty good. So.. yea, that was my Christmas. Boring...but ok la..... acceptable.

NEXT.... Penang trip....omg.. need to wrap up 2007 already.....so lagging.
