Whore No More

26 APR 2010: Looking back my recent postings and found out that I didn’t camwhore that much comparing to last time, maybe months back. Has anyone actually noticed about this?

Is it because I’m getting older, and lost the courage to camwhore anymore?
Is it because my life is getting boring and routine?
Or is it because I’m tired of my own look?




Perhaps it’s time to pass my tiara to the next generation. Who’s next?

Heaven or Hell?

4 DEC 2009: Had a lovely conversation with an old man last week, and it somehow led to a question whether I would like to go to heaven. Being a stubborn me, I chose to stay on earth instead. And of course lo kena scolded like a dog on why should I stay on earth if given a chance to go to heaven.

Come to think of the reasons I chose to stay on earth:

1. I still don’t feel like leaving my family and friends, though I know someday/somehow we will be separated. At least not NOW lo, unless I have no choice.

2. People always say how good is heaven, but why shouldn’t I appreciate what I have now rather than going for uncertainty? In fact, I’m doubt whether I’m qualified to be placed there.

3. Last and most importantly, I might be bored in heaven. Imagining what can I do there? Catch butterfly every day?


Heaven or Hell, what is your pick?

Novel vs. Movie

Friend recommended to read the novel (Time Travelers’ wife) saying novel is better than the movie itself. Therefore, I watched it and came out from the cinema with a smile on my face. I wondered why…

The storyline is pretty simple that the husband is a time traveler who couldn’t control when/where he would travel to. But he can only travel to major events pertaining to his own life. Nothing fancy about the character apart from starring by hunky Eric Bana and some topless/naked shots. However, I was deeply touched by the wife character starring by charming Rachel McAdams. The passion and belief that she has over the man she loved ever since they met when she was a little girl, has struck my head lightly. Felt like something that I’ve lost over the years, and wondered whether such unconditional love still exist nowadays? Another lovely fairy tales it must be, I thought of this while putting a smile to myself.



People tend to say that novel-based movie isn’t normally as good as the original novel. What do you think? Can you think of any great novel-based movie?

Melbourne Trip 2009

Day 1: Touched down Melbourne Airport at 12:30am and quickly went over to friend’s house to unpack our stuff and rest. Woke up early the next morning to visit some wineries and a historical town nearby Melbourne named Bendigo. Felt a little tipsy after few rounds of wine tasting and it was definitely a good experience. We ended up bought 2 bottles of red wine that cost us AUD20 each.



Day 2: Woke up early as it would be a long day tour to the Great Ocean Road. It is Victoria’s most spectacular route and is recognized as one of the world’s most scenic coastal drive. No doubt that it was a wonderful driving experience with magnificent scenery along the way. And the famous Twelve Apostles are one of the largest limestone rock stacks in the world. It was a cold and windy day but luckily all of us wore enough clothes. Dropped by at the nearby town called Warnambool for dinner before drove all the way back Melbourne.



Day 3: A day tour to Melbourne Zoo. Met up with friends at Victoria Market for breakfast and took a tram to Zoo. Bought a daily tram ticket cost AUD6++ with unlimited ride throughout a day. The zoo was quite packed with families on weekend, and it’s very well designed and maintained. It was my first time experience seeing Kangaroo and Koala bear.



Day 4-6: Planned to visit Philip Island initially, but we cancelled the trip due to some circumstances. Therefore, we took our own sweet time with city and shopping tour for the next 3 days. Nothing much in Melbourne city itself apart from some gorgeous cathedrals, art center/theatre, Federation Square, Library, Town Hall etc. Had a day shopping at Victoria’s Market though I didn’t buy much due to the high exchange rate of Aussie dollar.



Nothing much to shout about the Melbourne city itself apart from the magnificent Great Ocean Road. Anyhow, what matter most was the great company I had along the trip. I believe we had gone through enough along the whole trip that had definitely strengthened our friendship.

Happy 1st Anniversary

13 OCT 2009: Checked back my archive and found out that today is my 1st anniversary of blogging. I started this blog on 13th Oct 2008 to share my own stories with some oversea friends. But it caught me by surprise that I’ve got to know some real good friends through blogging.

From the archive of 97 posts for the past whole year, I wouldn’t say that I’m an active blogger especially these few months where my office workload and gym routine have taken some of my blogging time. Anyhow, I’m glad and proud that I’m still surviving here and thank everyone for visiting this blog.



Hooray……Happy Anniversary!!!

Don’t mess with the bitch

7 AUG 2009: 2nd half of year 2009 doesn’t seem to be good for me. I’ve been extremely busy with work and lots of problems suddenly came to me ever since early last month. Not to mention about work where I’ve been running 3 different projects concurrently that takes away all my old sweet time of chatting in office. The worst thing happened was I received a letter asking me to attend a court case due to an accident that I met on year 2007.

A bike hit my car from the back when I drove to KL on the day of incident. The pillion had a fractured knee and she’s now filing a court case to claim from my car’s insurance. What a bitch!! Therefore, the insurance company’s lawyer requested me to attend the court to provide briefing on the accident itself. It wasn’t that bad at all as it was my 1st experience being in a real court. Perhaps it was just a little civil case, where they took it really slow and easy. The lawyers talked in a pace 5x slower than me. And they didn’t seem prepared for the case, as they were continuously looking at the paper (for at least 30 seconds) before asking the next question.


Have you been to any court case before? What was it about and how was the experience?

Talented Cheeky Gardener

26 FEB 2009: Walked out from office after work and saw the new shape of those trees around the building. It definitely looks weird to me that I couldn’t imagine how the gardener came out with this idea. Looks like a….ahem…use your own imagination folks. BRAVO to the gardener!!



Ran out for a dinner with a friend at Mines Shopping Mall. It has been years since the last time I visited this mall. This mall gave me lot of memories as I used to work as promoter here after form 5 for almost 3-4 months while waiting for my SPM result. The mall was newly built back then where not many shops opened with very limited choices of food. Though the pay given wasn’t much (If not mistaken, it was rm3 per hour), but I had a great time being with a bunch of great workmates. I could still remember all those laughter and tough time that we’ve experienced together. And I was still riding my little old bike that time. Sweet memory it was.

Anyhow, it seems to improve a lot over the years where I could see more choices of food around. Sorry that I didn’t pay attention on clothes as I was so damn hungry. For those that never been to this mall, perhaps you can consider to pay a visit someday.
