Just got back my lights

Just got back my power at home. Was supposed to go online around 10-11PM but TNB cut my home's power. To add salt to the wound, only 3 houses in my row got cut-off. Everybody else have their bright lights lighted up.

Not really happy with what happened tonight. Couldn't chat. Couldn't talk. Couldn't do anything. Phone's bluetooth partly not working. PocketPC battery low. Seems that nothing is going right.

It's about 1.20AM now.. Everyone's asleep adi. I can't sleep. Feeling kinda down now.

Jessie, if you're reading this, I wish you have a really good and smooth time at Perth. Do your best and may you get good results all year round. Remember to take good care of yourself. Don't forget to remember me. It's the time for both of us to grow. We can both make it thru. You know you can always buzz me anytime of the day. All the best. I want to see you as a pharmacist when you're back home okkies :D

Happy Valentine's Day

Love is all around. Take a look around you and wish everyone Happy Valentine's Day :)

Just got back from another midnight movie, this time is Seoul Raiders. First impression was bad because of Richie Ren and Shu Qi. End result - funny and good. Laugh and reasonable storyline from start till end.

Highlight of the day is Ghimteik's 2005 Valentine's Fireworks display. Hope everyone enjoyed it. It's specially dedicated to Jessie. She's leaving on a jetplane soon. Besides that, it's also to those buddies who's around.
Thanks everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day 2005.

Lots of love.

Home Sweet Home

Back home after 2 days away to mum's home town. Home is the best place on earth. But it wasn't too long that I get out of home again, after an invitation to the old "cny tradition" - playing cards. Out till 5am and I still haven't sleep now. I think it's time now. Be back soon.

The Historical Town

Finally I have the time to update my space. It's been 3 days since the visit to the historical town - Malacca. Guess what, I managed to get some photos too! Haven't get them all yet but I think I will, soon! ha ha...

At first I thought everything won't be going according to plan as we were 45 minutes off schedule to depart due to unexpected traffic crawl along Batu Caves. Then someone thought about having breakfast first. But we reached there around 2PM, just as expected. I thought there was nothing special about the lunch-time rice ball but getting-together is the main thing.. ha ha, in addition, the rice ball was ok and I don't have a reason to complain! Cendol with red bean was refreshing. There's a wonderful collection of Coca-cola cans and tins from all over the world in the cendol shop. We went on and took many photos around. It's been some time since I've last enjoyed a group trip apart from going to Genting last week, which was enjoyable too :) The night walk along Jonker's Street was good. All kinds of stuffs are being sold all along the "street of light". Alot of nice things can be seen. The street at night is a total contrast from daytime which was very quiet and peaceful. The most interesting shop that I went in was Charles Cham's Orang Utan house. Many fasinating paintings and artwork are found either painted or hanged on the wall around the shop. Photography wasn't allowed in there due to some copyright concern. The "No feeling without drawing" quote was derived from one of the walls there. Bought a T which says "To lah or not to lah - that is the question in Malaysia", LOL. Apart from the Orang Utan House, many other shops and stalls were interesting as well, like the mini dancing hall, which is open to public and anyone can go in to dance for free. Really had alot of fun along the street. Went for satay-celup or better known as "luk-luk" later on. I thought there's nothing special about it and didn't really taste as good as I expected but it was ok!

Overall, this get-together was fun and enjoyable. Something to be remembered. More photos of the Malacca trip can be found here:

I decided to put all photos and pics to my new photoblog instead of here. From now onwards it'll be blog here with some photos and all other photos will be going to the photoblog.

No feeling without drawing

I believe that drawing is thinking and painting is feeling.
Therefore I draw what I think and paint what I feel.
Drawing is the idea. The thought.
Painting is the expression. As there is no feeling without thinking.
There is also no painting without drawing.

Arsenal 2 - 4 Manchester United

I didn't have time to update this blog after the United humble Arsenal in their home stadium until this morning. Too many things to do, too little time. Anyway, that isn't important. The scoreline is. Heinze was unlucky not to hold off Vierra for his powering operning-goal header. Ronaldo was 2 times lucky to get his braces while O'shea's chip was magnificent. That is the goal that confirms that Arsenal would not be retaining the Premiership title. Brilliant brilliant moment. I only get to watch the downloaded version but it was ok. 2nd half shows Manchester United's best performance this season, even with 10-men after a foolish Silvestre head-butt. I thought he was stupid.

Other than that classic, yesterday was a good day. Went shopping for CNY clothes. Going again today. I'm suddenly in the shopping-mood. Wana buy alot of stuffs. As the saying goes, too many things to buy, too little money, it's hurting! LOL

I can't believe that I can't find a United Megastore in town nowadays. 1U outlet was closed down long time ago. Went to Lot10 and it was closed too!

I'm off to another shopping-day!

City of Entertainment

It was a clear blue sky. Show little sign of raining.

Departed from Terminal Putra at precisely 9AM. We reach Genting Skyway Lower Station at about 9.50AM. Had breakfast at the food court coz everyone is hungry! Went on to board the skyway and reached the peak around 11.30AM. Most of the day, we're hanging out in the outdoor theme park. Nothing much has changed, besides new addition of the Flying Coaster, which charges its patrons for additional RM10, even it's inside the theme park, where we already paid for the entrance. It's purely a gimmick to gain extra profits since it's a new attraction. Very sure the RM10 fee will be waived by middle of this year!

I was quite bored with Cockscrew. Had fun with Solero Shot, Boat Rowing and Bumper Boat though. Boat Rowing was the most tiring, especially my left foot. Can't walk properly now on my feet!

First time into Casino de Genting and Casino de Monte Carlo. Wasn't asked for IC. I guess I looked old :( Not really much people in there. Probably because it's a weekday. I'm amazed how people place bets. Stack of RM50 notes are like stacks of A4 papers in my room! The Vegas Superstar Baccarat was a stupid game. I can't imagine all those dumb people go place their bets.. LOL. When majority bet on Player, Banker will win. When majority bet on Banker, it turns out to be a Tie.

Photos are coming up soon, but as usual, I have to wait for those camera-owners.

Going back to work tomorrow. Wilayah Day = Double-pay!
