It will be close to 3 months since i have seen my brother let alone my family. Coming this monday, i would finally get to be back at my hometown for a good two weeks break before returning back to KL. Just as i am dying for holidays, my parents left for Japan and left me to manage the running arounds that my mum used to do and the accounts for the clinic that my dad manages. LOL i guess my 2 weeks holiday isn’t a ‘real’ holiday after all.

As i have said in previous entries, it’s very rare that any of my family members make it on to the face of my blog except for my sister …

So here’s the other brother of mine with my mum at the far right.

I have used this photo for one of the themes before My parents looking out for a house somewhere in Penang and the lady with the black sleeves was kind enough to show us all the showrooms

Though i have said earlier that my holiday isn’t a real holiday after all but being with my family is all that matters to me …

… and as how Dorothy of Wizard of Oz puts it, “There’s no place like home.”

Have a great weekend everyone

Probably the only time where i couldn’t care less about what was happening in the real world was during my recent Redang trip. Not only did i switch of my phone most of the times so that no one would bug me, i also lazed around. Taking a break from my usual hectic shedule was what i needed at that point of time.

Had i gone home and done the exact same thing, i would definitely be called a lazy bum by my mum, lol. So i carried all my lazy-ness with me and used it well on this small Redang island I was soooo lazy that at one point i didn’t want to leave my bed for lunch. Well that’s until William came barging into the room, making sure i was out of bed -_-” LOL. Speaking of William, i wanna thank him for the above taken photos

Any of you following the presidential debate in the US ?

Have a great weekend everyone … !

I wouldn’t say that i have a sad look but i was pretty sure that deep inside me i was sad, lol. I mean first i get a headshot and followed by a butt shot in a game of paintball, all thanks to Wendy. The pain was bearable but not until Vingie shot me.

It happened like this. The round was over and we were all walking out. As i removed my vest, Vingie gave a shot directly to my chest The impact was so strong that it swell and looked like i had a third nipple for a few days.

Have any of you played paintball before ?

This is Malaysia’s version of the Eye. Probably not as spectacular as the one in London but the view from below is really eye catching, especially with the different colour shades it beams every now and then.

I know Singapore has one too. I wonder if i can squeeze an extra day or two when i am in Singapore in November to get a glimpse of the Singapore Flyer

Have a great weekend everyone !

P/S: Singapore will be hosting the first every F1 night race ! I can’t wait to watch it. Too bad i will be watching it from the tv rather than being there

I took these pictures a couple of years back. It was pouring heavily one day and so happen i was snapping pictures with my then brand new handphone. It rained so heavily that within twenty minutes or so, it flood the road.

… and it was like this for the following few hours. Pity to those who parked their vehicle on that particular road.

Have a great weekend everyone

P/S: Russell Peters is coming over to Singapore ! To those who aren’t familiar with him, check out his video below

Not too long back i blogged about me attending the Harp in French Music which was organized by the Penang State Symphony Orchestra & Chorus. Though i was late for the show and was forced to stand at the entrance, i could still here the harpist plucking the strings. Too bad the it only lasted for one part of the show

Have a great weekend everyone

Many a times, the adjective ‘beautiful’ has been reserved for only man and woman …. and also non living things like cars, houses, etc. Very rare would you hear anyone complementing on a plant let alone a tree.

Many moons back, i was back in Penang for the weekend. As i was clearing up my room, i noticed that the mango tree that my parents once planted has finally started flowering.

I have no shame but to admit that it was my first time seeing a flower of a mango tree. And in a few weeks time, the fruits would be visible but that didn’t really happen.

That’s because moments after i shot this picture, i heard the motor of a chainsaw rumbling and the next thing i knew, the tree wasn’t insight of my camera -_-”

The tree was marked X as it was in the way of the road that the local authorities were planning to expand.

“Beauty seen is never lost”

Have a great weekend everyone

The four days i was on Redang island, my skin on my hands and my feet were temporarily wrinkled. Being in the water for a long time definitely gets anyone’s hands to be wrinkled. But it was a good trade off except when it came to walking around on a crescent-looking-man-made island when both my feet were badly bruised because dead corals were scattered all over the island -_-”

I don’t really have a picture of me having wrinkled hands or feet but i think you get the drill

On a side note, i have totally forgotten about the burst shots that were taken on Redang island and it’s finally done. Credits to David for stitching them up, lol

The file is size is huge so it might take a while to get this running, please be patient

Have a great weekend everyone

Not too long ago, i was at the MIFC or better known as the Malaysian International Fireworks Competition and this is the 2nd year running that this competition is being held. Last year’s winner, Australia was outstanding and i am wondering if any country could do better or even emulate what the Australians have done.

This was the first time that i am capturing fireworks and i had no idea what i was looking for. I wasn’t sure of the settings nor was i sure of the location that i was at. All i did was snap snap snap snap. Since this competition carries on till the end of the month, i thought it was would be a good exposure for me to try out a few times before the big finale which will be held on the 29th of August.

The fireworks display was definitely eye poppingly colourful and i really can’t wait for the next one

Have a great colourful weekend everyone

P/S: Have you all watched how Michael Phelps swam into the history books by being the most gold medal winner in Olympics ? And the way he swimmms, no wonder some say he is half man, half fish, lol.

Many moons back, i attended a party whereby the dress code was dark colours. It was Daphne’s and Anna’s brithday and they were the only one who was excepted from dark colours. But somehow or rather, a few people decided to turn up in bright colours and they should had been penalized for doing so

Probably the next birthday outing should be themed 70s, lol.

Speaking of DARK, has anyone here NOT watch Dark Knight ??? I simply loved how Heath Ledger portrayed as the Joker. Loved it so much that i had to watch it twice

Have a great weekend everyone
