This is not my idea but Su Ling's idea. Mr Don is turn into Don Junkie or Sakai Don. I'm extremey tired, but I still blog so that it will be more consistent unlike Simon once a month blog posting. I think he is too busy, went to India, etc. Talking about India, I meet 2 Tibetian herbalist or sensei last week. One of them inspect my pulses, and told me that I'm high in uric acid and have too much oil in my gout. Then he propose I eat less fried stuff, and take some herbal medicine. The unknown herbal pill is not cheap, cost almost RM300 plus for 100 days of consumption. My business associate even offer to pay for me, but I didn't want any gratitude from him. You never know what is those pill made off, and I don't simply consume anything I don't know. You can never be too careful, unlike Mr Don.
Okay, time to go sleep. I also have a friend who choose not to sleep. He even told me that although he may live till 70 years old, but because he sleep less than anyone of us, he get to live his life to the fullest. Guess what, he had accident few weeks back, went into ICU, had operation and is now recovering. Accident due to lack of sleep, he bang his brand new car to a tree, and had internal bleeding.
Anyway, apart from drinking liquer and some beer once in a while. I try to eat less, more vege, and if possible, I will eat vegetarian. I eat vege because I promise God I will be good as I always bully Mr Don. Put him on some place high so that he can't jump down, hide his toys, cover up his favorite hidding spot so he can't go sleep or hide there. Run up and down the house, pretending as if I'm going out.
Currently, I'm watching this drama, Heart of Greed. It's a TVB drama about abalone and dried seafood. It's one long drama, as there's about 40 episode, and I think I watch till episode 10.
Apart from this, I'm also watching the Life Art, another TVB series, but I find that kinda boring, it's about Kevin, an IT guy who live a hectic life (not me, but Kevin Cheng), until he meet this straight hair girl, Gigi. Okay, the only reason I'm still watching it is due to Gigi. I guess I'm a fan of Gigi. In fact, I'm a big fan of some of the Hong Kong actresses such as Gigi, Ada, Yoyo, Tavia, Linda ... don't know why ... somehow I'm still addicted to Gigi. If you talk about nice plot and cast, then Heart of Greed is definetely the one, but that charm of Gigi still capture me.
And ever since I came back from Penang, I finally manage to finish watching Curse of the Golden Flower, and it's not as bad as I thought. I have to admit I watch too much HK flick such as Protege, Curse of the Golden Flower, Confession of Pain and Wise Man Never Die. I might be watching Happy Birthday if I have the time, but the review about it, is not too good. Can you imagine Louis Koo doing a romantic flick? I still remember him as the drug junkie in Protege. Okay, i only watch award winning flick but sometimes I may watch those from Wong Jing such as Wise Guy Never Die.
On a typical Saturday night, I have invitation from friends to go clubbing, then I got friend asking me to go cyber cafe. In the end, I didn't go clubbing or cyber and choose to visit a business associate. I think I'm too old for stuff like clubbing at places like Q bar. When friend tell me about girls they meet there who is around 19 or those college kiddo, I think there's really age gap. I was thinking .. what the heck some old man (not me, but my friends) doing hanging out with some young hippies, and pretending to be young. Okay, that's the clubbing bunch. Then there's another bunch who go cyber cafe. Well, once upon a time, I do go cyber cafe for network game, but again I think I'm too old for it. Somehow it remind me of those overgrown babies playing Magic the gathering or those miniature table gaming, and making those special effect with their mouth. Weird, right?
So you must be asking what people around our age, should do ... what about going to papaya farm or night club? Okay, I'm just kidding, everyone is unique like what Ah Su always tell me. Some people grow up fast, some people are late starter, and some people are destined to do BIG thing in life. So, the question is which type of people are you?
Geee, I talk too much crap, must be the dim sum that I had just now in Petaling Street. I think I better go sleep now else I will start talking more crap. Lot of things for me to do ... later today.
This is one of the many prank I play on Don. This one is called put him on the cupboard with nowhere to go. He is too afraid to jump down, and he has nowhere to go or hide. Can't wait to see him again, to try this prank on him again.
I been watching alot of movies and series recently, thanks to BT, I managed to download tons of it. Within a week, I managed to watch the most popular TV series, Heroes. Apart from Heroes, I also watch stuff like Lost and Stargate Atlantis. Unfortunately, there's no more new episode till end of this month (at least for Heroes). For movies, I managed to watch stuff like Confession of Pain, Rocky Balboa, The Queen, Letter from Iwo Jima, The Pursuit of Happyness and Devil Wear Prada. Not to mentioned, I also watched Snake on the plane! You must be wondering how I watch so many, well, I did it in a span of many weeks. Of course I can't be watching everything at the same time, when I'm busy watching those TVB series, then I won't be watching any movies or those american tv series. The last TVB stuff I watch was Best Bet. No wonder I don't even watch astro or TV anymore.
Look like the only picture I do post is Su Ling's dog. Now it's Su Ling's dog, and no longer his brother's dog, as that dog is always with her all the time. Perhaps I will be posting picture of monitor lizard next time. I saw a big one the other day when I was going for lunch with Bing. I think there's quite alot of these lizard in Penang. I wonder if Mr Don is afraid of these giant lizard. One thing for sure, Mr Don ain't afraid of all those giant stray dog living near his house.
This is the time to catch up on TV Series, Movies and anime. Of course this is also the the time to catch up with those missing friends ;)
I just finish watching Robotech, an anime that I have been watching since childhood. This is not the original Robotech but rather than continuation after the Sentinels. It's a movie call Robotech, The Shadows Chronicle.
In fact, nowaday it's more fun watching Heroes, Lost, and tons of TVB series than finding stuff to write. I don't even have time reading books. The stupid brain is becoming an idiot box...
Hatyai marketplace ... That's right, I'm off for a short trip to southern thailand last week. I'm staying at this hotel called Pink Lady, and the whole place is all about entertainment. There's show, mermaid in aquarium, plenty of thai food, lot of massage place. Plenty of things to keep me occupy ...
It's time to blog again. Shanghai ... that's Shanghai on your right. If you look at it, it remind me of Simcity. That photo is not taken by me but taken by my friend, Jeremy. Somehow that guy is quite good in taking some good shot.
My only shot is Mr Don the Maltese. In fact when I was looking at my photo album, it's all about Mr Don and some of vacation photos. Maybe I should go somewhere this Chinese New Year. Your brain will be dead if you are only in this country. There's things to see here but limited.
Even going out of this country involved making some decision like whether i want to go to a city vacation, beach vacation, island vacation or maybe countryside. City will be place like Bangkok, Macau, Hong Kong or even China, but China, I might be going mid of this year for business. So I think I might skip city. Island vacation can be real boring especially when there's nothing much to do there except sleeping (if you know what I mean). Maybe I will skip island as well. Countryside? Nar, living in Penang is like living in a countryside. The more I think of it, the more I dislike it. Penang is not that bad actually but places like Kedah, Kulim, etc is really not my cup of tea.
In fact, my friend, James wanted to ask me to go Kenyir for fishing, I even pass that. Talking about fishing, the last time I almost ended up eating frog. Luckily I manage to catch one catfish during the last minute. We were using frog as bait, in fact that's the first time I fish using frog. You clip the frog mouth and use the hook to pook the frog ass. Taufik (or Ah Meng) ... whatever his name is ... will even cut off the poor frog leg ... reason ... so that the fish can swallow the bait easier. Somehow the fish didn't eat that (fish might be thinking ... what the heck is this cripple frog doing here .... fishy).
It's already 13 days after new year, and after reading Desmond's blog, I think I should write something. What Desmond did was he wrote about 2006 and did a self reflection for that year. What about me? 2006 was okay for me, actually to most people, I think it's the year of their lifetimes. The problem with me is there's always something missing, maybe I never have enough, or maybe it's greedy, but I assure you it's not. 2007 should be even more exciting, it should be a leap.
I remember once upon a time when some rich people tell me that if you make your first 100k (that was like more than 10 years ago), the next 100k is going to be easy. The rich always pampered themself with expensive stuff such as expensive car, expensive house, expensive gadget, etc. The list is never ending, there's always so much to buy. As for me, I bought a lot of rubbish when I was young and poor. I remember starting work with RM700 and I have so much money to use (those were the day), then at one point in life, I earn more than the average tom dick and harry, and yet I have negative saving and not enough to use. Luckily ever since I meet SL, I become frugal and now somehow I have no desire to buy anything at all. In a way, I think it's good, but in a way, it's bad too. At times, I was thinking what the hell is wrong with me, am I suppose to leave everything for the children like my parent or her parent generation? What happen if the children are really useless bum?
Well, talking about that, I think I better stop here and start visiting my friends with kids. Mani already have 3 kids, and I think he will only be free for anything when his kids grow up. That's the lifecycle. I wonder what will happen if I tell SL that we don't want to have any kids at all, maybe we can adopt .... hahahahah.
The fierce Mr Don! .... more stuff to blog later. Now the connection is dirt slow!
... continue from previous pause ... Mr Don's life is simple. At this hour, at about 3am, he is still awake. I think he need to go shit, that's why he keep coming up to me and scratch my leg. My response to Mr Don is "Go shit anywhere you want, and stop disturbing me!" .... and then he go off. If he is still persistent in disturbing me, I will usually take out my blue color ruler, and he know the sign. The blue ruler means get off or else I whack you sign.
You never know what a dog really want in life. Before I continue, I just turn my head around, and I saw Mr Don took one of his toy and off he play by himself.
Dog's life is real simple. Sleep, wake-up, shit, pee, play, want to go out for car ride, bark, disturb everyone in the house, eat and finally go back to sleep or hibernating. But I know Mr Don quite well in certain way, I manage to teach him new words like "Down", "Bang-bang" and soon the word "Roll". Whenever Mr Don need to take something from his cage, he will come and ask me to do it. But if he can get it himself, he will do it all by himself. At times, he almost destroy the whole cage, just to take one of his favorite bear. Mr Don is also a very jealous companion. Whenever Ah Su come and hug me, he will come and attack Ah Su. For a brain as small as Mr Don, I think he is rather smart as well. I used to play plenty of tricks on him, such as tricking him run upstair and then rush all the way down.
To be explain this in more details. Mr Don is a dog stuck in a house (which is like a jail to him). Whenever someone want to go out (such as me), he will rush to the door, hoping that I or we will bring him out for a car ride. There are times when I pretend that I want to go out, and start playing prank such as pressing the car alarm, and Mr Don will follow me and run like a mad dog. But these days, if he is upstair, he will poke his head out from the staircase, and look down to see whether I'm really going out or just playing prank. Another good example of his smart behavior is asking him to "sit", "hand", "down", etc. If Mr Don know that there's no treat or chocolate, he will just skip everything, do the "down" position and then turn his body away from you, looking at the opposite direction. But with chocolate, even before you say the word "sit" ... he already sit, take his hand out for you, and then lay down to the floor.
Well, that's Mr Don!
I realise I didn't blog for quite a while, all this work is killing me! It's so bad till I don't remember posting the video below. Looking at the style of writing, it's really weird I wrote it in such way. I thought Ah Su is the one posting it. But I don't think so la ...
I was reading Desmond's blog when I realise what he said about life is quite true. Life is quite routine and after a bad day, you go back, sleep, then wake up, it's another day. Or maybe it's a good day, you go back sleep, then you wake up, it's another day. The weekend also gone with a glimpse. I thought of going to Jazz festival, in fact Ah Su was talking about it weeks ago, but I guess either we are too lazy or too busy. Jeremy's birthday also gone ... but I guess I can only celebrate with him later as he was too busy for some of his friend's marriage. In fact, I was hoping that Siokster would come here, then we may go off to Pulau Payar, but alas she is also too lazy to drive here. I think she is opting for Singapore instead, so I guess my only option now is faster finish my work here, then go back KL find Jeremy so that we can party all night long! Nothing is better than a friday's night of partying and drinking all night long. Imagine, having a puff of cigarette while sipping your favorite liquer, while some sexy blokes walk past you, starring at you ;)
Dreaming again .... just like that stupid blue cockoo bird .... (flying off to the moon).
Below is a short film of Don (Ah Su's baby dog). At this moment, I think Don is looking for Greenies (some sort of food) ... enjoy the film.
Gold? I was doing spring cleaning on my soho when I realise I actually have quite a number of these gold ingot in my soho. This one was given by Ah Su. It's not a real gold (if you see properly). A real one would be way too expensive to be simply put in the soho.
Took some photos when I was at Bagan Lalang last week. Looking at the photo, I realise I still look young but Ah Su is looking old now compare to last time when I first meet her.
There's nothing much at Bagan Lalang which is located somewhere in Sepang. This used to be a private beach long time ago (Mani told me long time ago before he was married, now he got 2 kids and is expecting his 3rd). So much things has change since then. Even Jeremy has a girlfriend now and my cousin, Sean no longer look thin now.
But I still look the same! I guess baby never get old. Looking at the photo again, my girlfriend, Ah Su change alot. Now she want to build an empire where else brainy like me want to have an easy life. If you don't see me blog as often, that's because I need to build "Rome". Perhaps the next time you see my photos, it will not be a baby anymore but an old frustrated person.
p/s : Building an empire is no easy task ... alot of sacrifices and sweats.
After watching Macross Zero, I have not really watch any good anime. The last 2 recommended by Jeremy was not really good such as Full Metal Panic and that anime about some online game, Dot Hack or something like that.
Then one day, I decided to pick up one anime from the store, and it's Area 88. Area 88 is not your typical kid's anime. It's quite deep and alot of emotion in it. Alot better than Macross. Macross Zero is not that good if you ask me, I would still prefer the original version of Robotech or another one called Macross Plus.
For your info, I have not been watching Hentai since 10 years ago. I'm not really a fan of hentai. The last hentai I watch if I'm correct should be that horny rabbit or rat called Hamtaro, I think. Or perhaps it's La Blue Girl or Legend of **something** ... I don't remember that name anymore. I know my friend, Calvin still watch alot of hentai and porn. The only thing abnormal is when someone who watch porn or hentai, keep saying "yeee ... yeeeee ... yyeeeeee" ... feeling disgust about those action in the TV, and yet the eyes still stared at the TV non-stop.
My cousin sat luen again? God knows ...
Anyway, it's not Peter, it's one of my cousin doing his degree in MMU. Well, at that age, for most guys it's always about money or girl. In this case, it's girl. Perhaps a fear of not having a companionship for life.
For me, it's always about something else. Not really companionship. My girlfriend always said I don't have much friends, etc. And I will always tell her that eagle don't flock.
Anyway, for my cousin, well, life is a journey, so having a girlfriend is not the end of the journey.
3 years ago on this date (1st October 2003), my cousin, Peter meet his dream girl. 3 years ago, I think it's when I broke-up with my ex ... geee, I don't even remember when was that anymore, it's either 2003 or 2004. Anyway, it's not important. This is about Peter's wedding.I actually woke up early yesterday morning to witness this event. Another reason is because my brother need to open the car door for the groom and bride. I don't recognise the bride anymore as she was a total change from what I saw her last time. Last time, it was some dinner in a chinese restaurant in Imbi, and my cousin actually introduce his girlfriend. That was quite long ago, maybe between 2004 - 2005, I believe... Today, the bride look like one of the HK TVB actresses.
Why did Su Ling laugh? That is up to you to guess. You can put a caption in the comment box.
The wedding dinner was held in Sunway and Ah Su really eat alot! Shark Fin, fish, chicken. The only one she eat less is the rice! She even reminded me to take the dishes for her as she want to pretend to be ladylike that day.
In fact alot of people is getting married this month. End of this month, I have another cousin who is same age as me getting married. I think it will easily cost RM50,000 - RM80k to host a wedding reception. But of course, I might be getting back from angpow and gifts, but then most of my relatives are unemployed or still studying cousin like Sean's brother ... most probably I will be losing money. Unless I put them under the Kids's table ... but they are probably too old for that.
Maybe it's about time I ask friends who are married for some guidance ... but before that, one should enjoy life to the fullest!
I found this in Ah Su's store room. It's an old autograph book. Those kiddon book that you ask your friends and teachers to write and sign something when you were in primary school.
I was going through the book, pretty boring until I come across Siokster page. Siokster is Ah Su's best friend and I didn't know Siokster was once a kiddo writting all this funny little poem. In fact, I think they must be quite young when they wrote this autograph book as the vocalbuary are quite limited.
Even the poem is outdated and there's a ice cream corner in the book. I think even as kids, they must really enjoy ice cream.
I wonder if Sean have an autograph book like Ah Su. Or perhaps Sean already dump that book away to show that he is already a macho grown-up like me :)
Grand Palace in Bangkok. I was in Bangkok last weekend. The first place I visited was the grand palace and emerald temple. Then it was another ancient temple nearby the river. At night, I went to the biggest night market in the city. Bought myself a fake birkenstock sandal. I think before that I was in Chinatown for a while.
Next day, I went to the weekend market, and got myself a triangle pillow, bought a fake croc beach sandal and 2 T-shirt. Had plenty of thai food. Even went to Siam Paragon to explore the branded stuff. Overall, the food in Bangkok is quite cheap. You must be wondering how come I was in Bangkok last weekend. It all started when Ah Su think she should go explore those cheap products in Bangkok, and decided to book and buy ticket last Wednesday night. Then Saturday, I was already in Bangkok walking like mad!
<<-- Chicken and Peacock.
I went to KL Bird Park on July 16 with Su, Jeremy and 2 other girl. The park is quite big and lot of birds to see. You must be wondering since when I'm so into birds? Aha, then you really don't know me that well. I'm a big fan of bird(s). I have a bird, love to eat bird (chicken) and I like watching bird on TV.
Anyway, enough about me and bird. If I remember correctly, I had bird flu that day when I was visiting Bird Park. The running nose make the whole trip so tiring for me. Ah Su also got pissed off that day as she didn't get enough sleep and need to wake up early to go Bird Park. Who briliant idea was that? Jeremy suggested it and since I was in town that time, might as well go see birds...
Jeremy's paintball outing was alot better (I heard) but unfortunatey I'm stuck with work and need to report to my slave master. Sad ... I was once a slave driver, and now I'm a slave ... but then life is all about work and no fun (according to Ah Su). Ah Su think life is to made tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of money and laugh all the way to the bank. That girl is crazy and almost a workaholic. Proud like a peacock too ...
These days I have so much things to blog but don't have the bloody time for it ... even sleep also no time! Sleeping is so precious for me ... I think I better stop here and go to sleep. I need to finish up more work and rush back to KL for a while. My sister just sent me an sms to ask me to go home, telling me that someone almost die the other day. To me, it's just a small matter, I also once thought I almost die in the toilet (after shit to alot of blood) but I didn't die. I'm still well and alive here .... ;)
Life is all about work. But luckily I still manage to take time off to watch a few movies and series. Recently I manage to watch Take The Lead and The Sentinel.
Currently while blogging, Ah Su is watching one TVB series call Love Guarantee...
Must be life is getting bored ....
My Favorite Don!
Yesterday the neighbour dog is really noisy! It was as if the stupid dog see ghost. Anyway, it's the 7th month, and everything is possible. In fact, how can you be so sure (if there's no ghost) when there's so many possibilities in this world!
I don't care if the dog is barking. Maybe there's thief or cats, but this stupid dog is howling. I was so pissed off till I decided to watch Inside Man. Luckily I didn't listen to that Silly Su (SS). Inside Man is quite nice, better than Poseidon or those B grade movies that SS love. SS taste is really bad. I remember watching Hostel with SS! Bloody violent. In the end, I can only say SS must be crazy.
Anyway, the puppy in the photo is Crazy Don. Crazy Don is my favorite all time puppy. Hyperactive and always want to play. Nothing compare to some lazy poodle or violent noisy dog. The only time crazy Don bark is when you tie him up and didn't want to play with him. If it's not for the pee and shit, I would have buy us (me and Su) a puppy like crazy Don.
Silly Su is quite lazy. I got a feeling that I will be the one cleaning up the shit when the fun is over. Why lazy? Silly Su cook dinner yesterday and she claim that it's a nice lovely dinner. The first thing that came into my mind was something that her friend, Fiona would cook .... complicated meal. In the end, guess what? We had can food! Can Food! Red bean with egg, luncheon meat, roasted pork (bought from market) and meatball soup. Shit! All meat which is 100% NO-NO for me! Can food! And earlier she ask me whether I want to eat dinner tonight? I ask her what is she cooking. She tell me Sardines with rice! She is even more lazy than my mum! My answer is NO-NO! I rather eat something else. I'm not picky with food, but why want to eat something that you been eating so alot throughout your childhood, and now with a wonderful girlfriend, and you still eat this kind of !@#&^@%!!!!!
Tonight, if I come back early from Ipoh, I plan to eat at some German restaurant or maybe some sushi.
The last time I posted on this blog was about Densha Otoko. Now it's also Densha Otoko. Not the movie but the series. The TV series is better than the movie. Now I'm into Japanese girl. In fact, nowaday I find chinese girl quite dull. Talk about dull, now I also find my relationship dull. No more spice. In fact there are times when I want to ask for a break. But that's another blog story. Story of how eagle flying off from the chicken hut.
Back to Densha. Densha Otoko is the best love story I watch this year. Ah Su told me that Lakehouse is also good, but I can't comment until I watch it. You won't know how good is Densha Otoko until you watch it yourself. Talking about Densha, my comment is definetely 'Suki Des'! After watching Densha, I think I know myself better. Sometimes I wonder if I'm an Otaku, well, I'm in a way an otaku. Otaku need to find Japanese girl and not chinese girl! ** hinting **
Other than Densha, I also manage to find time to watch The Dance of Passion (TVB drama). That one is really over-rated. Again it's really about Gigi and Bowie. The ending is not too bad but the show is just too long. I also manage to finish off watching another TVB series called Forensic Heroes. I skip quite a few episode here and there, but still manage to get the story. In fact, watching the stupid idiot box is no longer entertaining for me! The next time I go travel, other than my notebook, I need to bring my PS2 along. The stupid notebook is just not too powerful enough to play game. Unless I go buy one new PC in PC Fair tomorrow.
Densha Otoko (Trainman) The Movie
This is one of the best love story that I had ever watch this year. It's about a nerd who meet a beautiful girl on train and using the internet forum for advice on how to court that girl. It's a true love story. Remember those day when you are going after a girl and you have this fear of calling her or talking to her?
For me, I remember when I was in my car, looking at my phone, and thinking whether I should call Ah Su or not? After staring at the phone for more than a minutes, I decided to press the dial button. The moment the phone ring, my heart start beating fast, and I hope she won't pick up the call. The moment she pick-up, my mind need to work very fast ... looking for words to come out of my mouth. Ohh well, all that is history now, I guess I'm just an "otaku" ...
p/s : I was alot more brave and tactful than the otaku in the movie or else ....
My Super Expensive Sandals!!! Su con me into buying it! Guess how much ...
Su is one evil woman! Whenever I think of the devil, her picture came into my mind. This is just how evil she is in my mind and heart! The photo below is really her true evil color.
Enough of evil su. See No Evil now!
The other day I was watching this movie by the director of Kill Bill. This movie Hostel is bloody violent and not really my cup of tea. Evil Su seem to enjoy watching it. Her favorite part of the movie is when the killer use the saw to cut off the other person. Violent and lot of naked scene, which is Su's cup of tea.
Today I watch Superman Returns, and guess what? Su actually cry! Which make me wonder ... how can an evil person cry when watching Superman Returns and not cry when watching Titanic? I guess she must be crying because she is too happy when Superman got beaten up by Lex Luther! And I bought Train Man from Speedy Video just now! Can't wait to watch this otaku ...
Pretty Su or Crazy Su?
This is Su's latest outlook. I find her weird! If you ask me, it's a BIG turn off! Imagine your pretty decent girlfriend turn into a wild hiphop girl.
Should have went to worldcup street party in penang, but it's raining cat and dog since 12am. My favorite part of the match is when Zidane headbutt a Italian player and got a red card for it.
Hutan Lipur Kanching (This one was taken using Jeremy's SLR). When you do what I did there, you feel cold and pain at the same time.
This one is dedicated for Ah Su ... Superman Returns. Superkev ;)
Tonight I learn 2 new skill in photoshop, creating frame with shadows, and now adding head into another photo. Maybe next, I will be putting Ah Su into jgirl and sell online. June, I think is my ex-gf birthday and I don't even remember which day anymore ... somewhere in the 20s of the month, I think. Luckily I can never forget Ah Su's birthday as it's the same day with me ... hehehe. I plan to go watch Superman end of this month. I realise the photo is not too suitable as Superman face is oval but my face is quite round, and I didn't comb my hair.
Ah Su in Palas Tea Plantation. The tea leaf make her go "siow"!
Many Faces of Su - Happy, Anxious, Satisfy, Serious, Grumpy, Horny
One Photo Paints A Thousand Words
Introducing Kevon ... Su Ling's imaginery boyfriend.
While driving the other day, I told Su about my imaginery girlfriend, Reginez and she created Kevon. Who is Kevon? Kevon love to bring Su for shopping (especially in crowded and narrow street, eg Bugis St). Kevon listen to Su first and place Su above everything in life. Kevon like to treat Su nice and delicious food. Kevon like to buy pressie for Su. Kevon will do everything for Su.
Kevin think Kevon need to get a life! Life is bigger than SU!
Scone from T Cafe!
The cool mountain breeze is so refreshing!
After Ah Su complete her research presentation in KL, she treat me to a vacation in Cameron Highlands. Going up from Tapah road, the scenary is spectacular! Orang asli settlement, waterfall, mountain, jungle and narrow road. At first, I thought this will be one of the worst vacation. Afterall, I never been to Cameron Highlands and I assume it's all farm, farm and farm! Who want to go see farm? I rather watch TV!
It turn out to be better than I expected. I get to see Tea plantation with paranomic view. Had some opportunity to practice my photography skill and I even get to enjoy hot tea in the cold mountain breeze! T-Cafe is quite interesting. One of the popular cafe with good review from lonely planet. I'm not a fan of cream/butter scones but Ah Su is ...
The heritage hotel where Ah Su treat me is not that good, I didn't like the buffet steamboat dinner and the lousy breakfast! I must go visit the highland again, I didn't get the opportunity to try the steamboat restaurant recommended by Jeremy. Some tips from me ...
1) Don't book the stupid hotel that bundle the room with food! There are plenty of nice and cheap food out there.
2) Don't visit Cactus Valley and Rose Valley! RM4 for entrance is quite expensive. Add another RM4, I get to see Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.
3) Don't buy too alot of strawberries and vegetables like Ah Su! She contributed to the GDP growth of the highland!
4) Sg Palas Boh Tea Factory have good paranomic view!
5) The pasar malam is a MUST to visit! I think it's only available during weekend.
6) Must try T-Cafe ... Ah Su claim that their scones is the best!
That's all ... for now!
This is what you see ... the race is not that exciting compare to F1.
They are doing the Jordan Chan's Dance! They are the most entertaining team in the event!
There's nothing much to write about dragon boat. The race is too far and it's not that exciting. The only thing good about the dragon boat race is the entertaining hongkies and the sexy hongkies participants. It's a hot day and the coke I bought from one of the stall is not even cold ... maybe the girls there are just too hot that day.
Cactus Valley is so expensive, I almost fall from the highland!

Today is an auspicious day for chinese (according to some people) and it's also the rebirth of The Omen. The month of June is a month of anniversary. I have my friend, Mani wedding anniversary last week, and then their anniversary for moving to their new home on Saturday last week. Today, my PDA just tell me that it's Allan and Yew Thin wedding anniversary! I just send Allan an sms to wish him for the occasion. This week, my friend, Victor birthday is coming and then Timothy wedding anniversary is also around the corner! Weekend, I realise it's my mum birthday. Must ask my "crazy" girlfriend to think of something for that. That crazy Su is in town to present her research paper for some event in KL. If you ask me what's that research all about, it's about her Master research, but she like to make a joke out of it, by telling me that her research is about "penis" .... now you know why she is crazy?
This 2 fella adventurer is hiking down the waterfall! Bloody dangerous!
There's Seven Waterfall in this Forest Reserve!
That's Jeremy and "???" - I think her name is "Tang".
That was taken on May 21, 2006. We decided to go hiking in Kanching Forest Reserve and explore the 7 waterfall in that reserve. Among all of Jeremy's friend, I think she is the most adventureous! She been to almost every adventure trail that me and Jeremy ever explore in our life! From Tempurung to Mulu! They even need to wait for me to catch breath after reaching the 5th waterfall. At the sixth waterfall, they went off to the seventh fall while I relax at the sixth (almost faint). But I did catch up with them at the seventh fall. When I reach the seventh fall, they are already there playing with the cold water!
Anyway, that's Kanching. The next time I'm able to blog, it will be about Dragon boat Festival in Penang or hiking thru the forest to some private beach. If Sean didn't con me, then maybe it will be about Redang ;)
Star Trek Enterprise.
This is the latest TV series I'm following these day. As you know I'm into Sci-fi series and this may be the last one I'm watching. I had watch Lost, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis. Except for Lost which I'm waiting to watch Episode 20, the other 2 series, Battlestar and Stargate has already reach the season finale. The next season is only starting end of this year. There's no new star trek series in 2006. Star Trek Enterpise end at season 4. Although I'm a fan of Star Trek (Trekker), but it's not as good as the old Star Trek The Next Generation (The Picard version). Stargate Atlantis is my favorite because somehow there's some connection between me and the character in the series such as Dr McKay. Battlestar Galactica, the special effect is good, and since I don't remember watching the old battlestar in the 70s or 80s, maybe I may like the new one. Cylons is definetely more high tech than The Wraith or those Sulibans. Those Wraith and Sulibans are actually humanoid aliens, but Cylons are machine. Number Six (Cylons) is one of the most good looking alien I ever seen, aferall she is a supermodel.
Recently, I discover something bad. My girlfriend can actually read my mind. I wonder if she is a Wraith in disguise or maybe a Cylon in my brain. Nar.. cannot be a cylon, most probably a Wraith. If you talk about evil aliens, the most cunning one is The Wraith. In fact, seeing a Wraith on screen, give me the chill. After writing all this, I think my favorite series is Stargate Atlantis.
Below is a video clip took using my camera. I will blog about it next time.
Khoo Huan Kongsi in Penang. You need to pay RM5 to visit this kongsi and I realise non of my 'khoo' friends have their name on the scholar plaque in one of the room! Not so interesting! Snake Temple is the worst! No Snake at all! Only 2 snake beside the altar. The Tour Guide suck big time!
Day One
- Kuan Yin Temple (Boring ...)
- Cannot find Baba Nyonya Heritage house (either tour guide got confuse or that place is permanently closed)
- Huan Kongsi (Pay RM5 to see a kongsi and plenty of Khoo ancestor photos, no story like Blue Mansion, restoration not as good as Blue Mansion and that place is still renovating!)
- Reach Fort Cornwalis. Didn't want to pay to enter the fort! Must blame it all on War Museum! I remember paying RM20 to see rubbish!
- Snake Temple (You gotta be kidding me! Where's the snake! I guess snake must be hiding under my friend's pant).
- Dinner at Genting Hill! Far and dangerous! Imagine eating with bugs and moths! It was about 9pm when we reach that hill, so nothing much to see! Feel like kicking the tour guide :)
- Walking pass SS (not the Nazi but Slipery Senorita!). Saw 3 gorgeous looking chick driving merz to some disco. Unfortunately we ended up at SOHO! From Black Eye Peas at SS, we ended up with YMCA at SOHO! Gosh! I'm not old and gay!
- Go back and sleep! After all the above sucky tour, this is the best! Nothing beat a good night sleep!
Day Two
- Lunch at Uncle Ho but Uncle Ho went to sell DVD, and abandon his food business (Kidding). Pizza at US Pizza. No wonder there is no US Pizza in Klang Valley! We waited more than 30 minutes for the drinks and bread! The guy who take order, also prepare the pizza, answer the phone call, and do delivery! But the pizza is not too bad compare to Pizza Hut. No Tabasco Sauce but who need stupid tabasco when you have chili flakes.
- Ke Lok Si Temple. Tour Guide suck big time again! Imagine climbing lot of stair, reach section A, then descend the stair, climb lot of stair to reach section B ... only to realise it's the wrong way to section B! Then you descend the stair, climb lot of stair to reach section A again, and realise that you need to pay to go to section B! Section B is the pagoda! This temple is really commercialise! And if you want to see the bronze Kuan Yin, you also need to pay! I must complain to my godmother, Kuan Yin someday about this!
- Send the sucky tour guide back home to sleep and we go back KL!
What about English Tea at E&O? Vacation rating is half star out of 5 star.
Next time, I must organise everything myself such as steamboat in Cameron Highland, fishing in Taman Negara, diving in Pulau Kapas, etc.
