Kay-El-See-See(KLCC) =_=”

Today was one of the rare days that I had to wake up very early…when I meant wake up very early,meaning it is very-very-very early…in my time zone,very-very-very early is when the sun haven’t risen yet,still gila darkness…morning is when the sun is just about to rise,as the skies began to brighten…Why leh must wake up so very-very-very early? Cuz there’s an event job on the following day at 8.30am in KLCC…so today I tested the timing required to arrive there in time,from my place…via public transport(bus,KTM,LRT)…driving is not a viable option cuz traffic jam,parking issues and also still cannot freely use the car yet =_=”


It’s the sun!!! ~Ohio gozaimasu~ (Good morning in Japanese)

Hmmm…or does it look like it’s at dusk? Hehe…

Besides of determining the timing to KLCC…today there is actually a briefing+mini training at 10.30am…Wah-Lau-eh,what to do? Cuz I managed to arrive earliest by 8.15am…in a way its good(good timing,yeah! =) ) and in a way its bad(had to bazir time,boo! =( )

Aiyah…easy solution…best place to “lepak” is at McDonald’s!!! Lols…opens 24 hours some more,haha…very nice

My staple meal for breakfast in McDonald’s is always this…Sausage McMuffin with Egg Value Meal Set…dunno why,haha =P McDonald’s breakfast starts as early as 4am…

Plus a free complimentary The Sun newspaper…to pass the time…my gosh,flipped through the pages dunno how many countless times(cuz there’s nothing else to do to pass the time…luckily brought along mp3 player,haha =P )…usually I prefer to read The Star newspaper,hehe…

So after that…as the meeting time drew closer…I head towards my destination…be prepared for lame-ness =_=”

Going there is like from the movie(or novel),Lord of the Rings

Had to trek through forbidden evil forests…

Encountered ferocious looking beasts along the “river”…
Like this metallic skinned dolphin? =_=”

Saw mystical occurrences…

A waterfall that goes upwards!!! =_=”

And not forgetting…a structure that sends shivers down my spine…

The “Dua Menara”!!! (LOTR: The Two Towers) =_=”

Eh? What’s this? A spring to quench a traveler’s thirst…

Aha…can do outdoor chocolate fondue also =P

Finally at long last…reached the convention centre in time…

Actually was 5 minutes late =_=” Cuz went to the wrong side of the “Dua Menara”,after exiting from the LRT station and had to walk through the world of “Middle Earth”…but not as bad as had to walk barefoot ala’ Hobbit style…macam Frodo Baggins and “Brokeback Mountain partner”,Samwise Gamgee =_=”

Anyways…here’s my workstation…
Which looked like a jail chamber of sorts…or those Indian currency money changers…

Visit!!! That is if you are interested ler...(Click image to enlarge for details…promoting but no extra cash earned,aih~)

But then…it’s only eligible to those who are above a certain age(18 years above only)…business cards need to be presented…so it’s not really like some funfair or carnival where everyone can go lah…more of like for businessmen to do their…errr…business =P But,you can call your father,mother,older brother,older sister,uncle,auntie,grandpa,grandma,grand-uncle,grand-auntie,Great grandpa,Great grandma,God father,God mother,father’s friend punya uncle,mother’s sister friend’s punya son,etc…etc…etc…suka hati-lah >=P


Ok…enough crapping…time to sleep…another “have to wake up very-very-very early” awaits the following day…zzzzz…

More Random-ness?!! =_=”

Here comes another “Rojak but got pictures” sort of post…hehe…meaning that I don’t have anything interesting to post up at the moment…or anytime soon…

Hmmm…what to do…what to do…oh well…just take a few pictures from my handphone collection and upload it lah…settle,haha =P


Alright…here’s a…what in the world is this?

These are water dispensers…but not any ordinary water dispensers…they are special water dispensers that are used by Eskimos in the North Pole!!! =_=” Actually bought one as a birthday gift for a dear friend of ours(a few months ago) cuz we dunno what else to get for her…hehe…you wouldn’t wanna know how much that “gimmick” costs…Click here and here for more pictures of it…(Pictures were taken by Craig)

What to do with Barbie dolls that you don’t play with anymore…

Turn it into a masterpiece!!! An edible one of course…credits goes to Liying’s mum for making it for her birthday on that day…

Mentos now comes in…

…a plastic bottle that is for pills/vitamins/etc…Now you can go to your nearest pharmacy and ask for dosages of Mentos =P

I can balance the ball on my head!!!

That is…while leaning it against the fence =_=”

Since the clouds was so nice…the basketball court was so nice…friends playing basketball was so nice…overall,everything was so nice…

So I took a picture of it ^_^

Another shot…
A vertical shot this time…which shows a bit of the ground…Which one nicer,eh?


Update kau-tim…lols =P Wonder what the next update would be…Hmmm…running out of ideas,haha…See ya!!!

A Perak we will go: Teluk+Batik = Teluk Batik?

Finally,the last part of the Perak trip…wahahaha!!! >=D Wanted to make it into a trilogy,but couldn’t cuz too many stuff to be errr…stuffed together =P So anyways,after the zoo trip…went back tidur like a mayat…and the next day would be our last day spending our time in Perak

The usual bangun pagi,gosok gigi,cuci muka,cuci badan and makan sarapan…off we go to…another island?!! No ler…it’s just a beach called Teluk Batik…(Don’t ask me why it is called as that,haha…)


Welcome to Teluk Batik

…where the “Teluk” is not made from “Batik”… ~lameness~ =_=”

Just sit down nearby some rocks…

…and ponder aimlessly whilst looking at the sea

Before we go on…a word from our sponsors…~cheh-wah~

^^Advertisement^^…but no royalty to be claimed =P

A lonely red ball adrift on the shores…

Nobody Wants To Play With Me

Here comes a…“Mini-Tsunami”…SPLASH!!!

If you may wonder,why is the red ball in this picture…bought it from a nearby rip-off shopkeeper for RM6!!! What the heck…Made in China red ball for RM6?!! So make the most of it ler…haha =P

Suddenly…there was a fight on the beach…sumo wrestling style…lols

Must’ve been inspired from our local movie production…Sumo-lah =_=”

Fight till out of the ring and into the sea…

Hmmm…looks more like dancing to me =P

Emerged victorious? (Actually saja wanna put this picture up…hehe =P )

Coming out ala’ Daniel Craig style from James Bond: Casino Royale =P


After a splashing good time…it’s time to pack everything up and return all the way to Kajang…thus ending the Perak trip…which I spent the last night in Semenyih walking around on the streets of TTS5,gazing at the stars…super a lot if not rainy…nice and soothing
(I would like to take pictures of the stars,but dunno how to do so…too dark…need professional photographer stuff?)

Oh well…will be going back to Semenyih again this Saturday to settle the rented house stuff and will be staying at another house for the coming semester(perhaps the last educational year for me?)…Anything exciting happened after the Perak trip? Hmmm…not really…but if anything comes up,well…you know what to do…visit this blog…lols =P

See ya and take care!!! ; )

A Perak we will go: Which zoo opens at night?!!

Welcome to another episode of “The Perak Trip that doesn’t end in 1 Post” =P Unfortunately/Fortunately,this is Part 3 only…so from where we left off…after getting BBQ-ed under the sun in Pangkor Island…went back to Wilson’s place for a shower…then had dinner outside…cuz we were on the way to…Taiping Zoo!!! =_=”
Douglas wanted to go there…so everyone just went along

Some old-school KFC advertisement song being played,which goes…
“Let’s go to the zoo,where there’s lots of things to do…etc…”
For the record…nope there wasn’t a KFC outlet there =P


Taiping Zoo entrance…

With a night safari as well…no-no,not those real “safari” that you see on National Geographic…these animals are kept in captivity and there’s some sort of tram(like a mini train) which brings you around…RM 3 per ride if not mistaken,cheh!

So off we go…take out camera…going to snap pictures…BUT WAIT!!! At the ticketing booth,there was a sign which says that cameras are not allowed…wait let me rephrase that…cameras with FLASH are not allowed =_=” Also camcorders are strictly not allowed…unless pay surcharges lah =_=” In modern times such as this century,show me a camera which DOESN’T come equipped with FLASH?!! But anyways,the security guard/staff said it’s ok to bring in and use…the catch,no flash can be used…(on a side note,in this modern age,digital cameras are mostly able to take videos as well too…lols) Hmmm…should’ve taken a picture of the sign…

Well that aside…and off we go…please bear with blurred shots…I’ve only uploaded a few good ones…or close to good ones…or just suka-suka upload whichever I want,lols

Going to watch(or read) the next latest Harry Potter soon?

Get yourselves one of these owls…
Extra work: Dip your owl in white paint =P or any of your favourite colours

Super big python that can help you by squeezing your body into a bodyline figure that you’ve always dreamt of…or been “dying” to achieve…

Don’t bring it on a plane though =_=” yes-yes,me being lame…

Eh? A zoo has Koi fishes for display? Either it’s for Feng Shui or running out of animals to be shown to the public…lols

If these Koi fishes were vicious piranhas…be afraid…be very afraid…

Not forgetting,perhaps one of the most important living organism in the zoo…

Humans…(running out of pictures to be uploaded =P )

Look in this picture…

…and guess what animal this is?

The answer…

It’s Sunny the Malaysian Sun Bear!!! The closest shot of Sunny that I can show ya’ll…isn’t Beruang Madu = Honey Bear? So Sun Bear = Beruang Matahari?!! Hmmm…gotta ask Sunny to clarify this though…

Aha!!! Caught in the act!!! Between a giraffe and an ostrich(I think)…

Forbidden Love”…I liked this picture though,haha…Romeo&Juliet in the zoo? =P

And now,ladies and gentlemen…let me show you how a professional photographer takes pictures at night…Douglas,please demonstrate…(in case you’re wondering,the following pictures are from him)…well,at least his pictures are much-much better than mine…

No need to think so hard to know what animal this is…

Not a clear picture…but it’ll do…1 rhinoceros

Here’s 2 zebras…

Got a bit of lighting from the spotlight…so clearer and better than mine

And here’s 3 “ostriches”…

Spot the odd one out…

Ok…another guess what animal is this?

Picture taken by me…

Accidentally forgot to switch off the flash…“Ooopss” =P

But then the panther don’t mind though…hehe

And here’s how to snap a picture without using a flash…the “Douglas Way” to do so…

The panther must be smiling…cuz he/she looked so “bergaya” in this picture =P

Last but not least…another animal to be added to the collection(perhaps the clearest picture of it all)

Meow-meow cat…I forgot to switch off the flash,thus making its eyes so “ganas” looking…lols…when I switched it off to take another shot at the cat…~Jeng-Jeng-Jeng~…no battery =_=” Mostly used up in Pangkor Island during the daytime and with all the fancy-fancy functions for night shots switched on…drain more battery power,haha


So that’s about it…only certain animals are being displayed at night cuz they are active during the night…yes-yes…very “active” at night,particularly the lions though…could hear loud moanings…ehem-ehem…but then at night,cant really see some of the animals cuz its quite dark and only certain areas only has spotlights(for animals to sleep with the lights on? Hmmm…) Imagine yourself walking alone in the darkness,then got some loud violent animal noises followed by a something being broken open…as you walk a few more steps…SUDDENLY…a figure approaches from the side and moves towards you…please don’t try to be Tarzan and just run awayyyyyy…lols =_=”

Oh yeah,the entrance fee is doubled at night…so RM5 x 2 = RM10…together with “cant see some animals”(hiding/sleeping/mating/etc nightly activities…) and also no usage of flash from cameras(if I were the animal and somebody kept bursting lights on my face as though I am a superstar,while I am trying to sleep…I’ll probably get pissed,lols) So if you don’t wanna yamcha at night and got nothing else better to do in Taiping…drop by a visit to the zoo =P

Tip from Douglas: For night shots…bring a TRIPOD!!! Super-super useful for stability…duh


Hmmm…ever wondered why updates had been slow recently? Well,I am kinda engrossed into this…

Final Fantasy XII!!! Nice long holidays to be used up to play…haha…but worry not,I still do other things(besides updating blog =P ) as well or if wanna go out or something,still can-can wan…

But the game which I bought encountered some “problems” midway(the downside of pirated games or am I just being unlucky? This is so…“Potong stim”)…so here I am updating my blog,lols…haha…and also another “Potong stim” situation…I only have the English drama,Heroes,up to episode 22 only!!! Argh…one episode less for the first season…aiyayaya…super “hanging” leh at the “kan-cheong” moments…so if anyone is able to provide me that last episode,please do so…or I suppose I could intrude someone’s house with ASTRO in order to watch just that particular episode…lols

Anyways…never mind,I guess I can wait…my dad probably might get the DVD when its out though,hehe >=D

While surfing around on the internet…I stumble upon these…

WAH…Final Fantasy figurines(Cloud and Sephiroth on the image)…I want-I want…super-nice…but of course,super-expensive(the good quality ones of course)…I’ve always wanted to get my hands on one of these goodies…but I guess not now or anytime soon(Click picture to enlarge)

I don’t mind these ones too…cute affordable fancy-fancy stuff

Can put on my table,in my “future car”,in the toilet,on my head,etc…For more updates…pay a visit to www.square-enix.co.jp/se-shop/blog (Source: www.adventchildren.net)

This is all I have…hehe

A mini Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children’s protagonist…Cloud…made in China =P


The end for now…the next part of the Perak trip would be the last…so rejoice!!! Hehe…

A Perak we will go: Trapped on an island…

Hello again…this is Part 2 of the Perak trip…yes-yes,as you have noticed…updates had been very-very-very sloowwww…well,let’s just say that I am being sidetracked to other stuff and throw in a handful of laziness together with it…well,better than no updates right? Actually,at the moment…there really isn’t anything else to be updated about…Hmmm…

Anyways…ehem-ehem…back to the main story…

So the following day…after bangun pagi+gosok gigi+cuci muka+mandi+pakai seluar dan baju+makan sarapan…we headed to Pangkor Island(Aha! Which makes the 3rd island that I had been to in Malaysia,the previous other 2 were Redang Island and Penang Island…yes-yes,inclusive of Penang Island =P )


The only shot I manage to take at the jetty…

Yes-yes…those are the ferry which brought us to the island…not the enormous ones at Penang nor a cruise ship…lols =P

Upon arriving on the island…

Greeted by pink vans which are converted into taxis…amusing for jakun people like me who had never been to Pangkor Island before…

Of course…why bother taking those taxis when we wanna take our own sweet time going around the island…so we rented a car…

Drive-drive-drive to a lovely beach first…what good is an island without a beach,eh?

But this area quite deserted…no hunky-body guys and girls in bikini to be sighted…if I recalled,there were a few aunties and uncles sunbathing there…
Anyways…

Less people(or probably no one at all) on the beach means…more photo sessions and doing ridiculous things as well…

Like…

Eddie trying to make a sandcastle? Looks more like a Sand-igloo or a Sand-Pau to me…lols =P

Lame comic…



The End =_=”


After having lunch…went to a place on the island called…

Kota Belanda(Dutch Fort)…a view of the alienatic symbols(crop circles?)…Oh and that’s our rented car…a blue Proton Saga(manual transmission)…to fit 7 of us!!!
5 guys+2 girls(both of em’ at the front passenger’s seat!!! =P )…errr ok lah,since I am skinny,more of like 6.5 of us? =_=”

This…I think is some sort of jail or torture chamber…How to torture them? Throw more people inside…lols…but I guess the walls will fall apart and they could escape…Hooray! =_=”

That was in the past…now in the present,it’s a rubbish dump? Hmmm…

Wish there was a monkey to pluck a coconut from those trees for me to drink…

Breezy Coconuts…

Things to do here…like…

Hole-watching…?

Can see things like these only…

Beyond the Hole…

And…

Lepak-ing…?

And errr…

More lepak-ing…?

Also…

Posing…?


Generally,I find Pangkor Island quite boring(or maybe hafta go island-hopping or something…)…lols…not really a “beach resort” sort of place(go to Redang Island or others) or “makan-makan heaven”(go to Penang Island)…unless just wanna go there to snap-snap pictures…Heck,we even manage to drive around the whole island in maybe less or around 1 hour only…so yeah,can go for lap racing too if like that =P

Till the next update then…lols…slowly-slowly wait leh…will try not to delay,haha…hopefully =P
