Beijing 09

2009-05-29T12:27:00.003+08:00

Beijing is a place i have always wanted to visit. Forbidden city, summer palace, greatwall and etc are not new to me but I have always been fascinated by their size and history.

To comment abt the place and trip I rather write down in conversation mode: Here is the interview done by my colleagues and friends.

anonymous: "how was the trip?"
me: Good n bad.
anonymous: Why?
me: the travel agent tried to con us through the entire trip!
anonymous: Thats normal ...

me thinking "strange but true? most of the people experienced the same thing after returning from china". The travel agent in beijing tried persistently to push us into taking up the 'OPTIONAL' tours which we were not very fond of. Well I guess making a living in beijing city is hard. I don't blame them if they tried to make honest living but somehow I felt it was all abt GREED! back to the conversation

anonymous: So where did you cover in beijing?
me: err??? as usual .. all tourist attraction places lo ..
anonymous: tell me something we don't know?
me: err .. wow thats challenging! Oh ya .. we were brought to this place called "foot massage and research institute of B******".
anonymous: wah! tell us abt it ...
me: err .. I like foot massage and I know how foot massages are like. Those so- called professors of foot massage "I wonder since when we have studies in foot massage?" people tried to Con us through by tickling our foot. Well they tried hard to con on those aunties. Nope none of those aunties got con but one uncle did. "strange but true again".

So I want to warn those who travel to beijing for holiday pls "Don't get Conned by those bastard (sorry pardon my language)".

Here some of the pics taken through the trip.

Pangkor Trip!

2009-03-10T17:08:00.009+08:00

Finally! holiday that my wife and i were looking forward to... last week we went to Pangkor Laut. It is highly recommended for married couples. Nice service, nice food, nice enviroment, perfect ambience ... hmm .. what a life!!!! We wished to stay a bit longer unfortunately we had to face the reality of life. Yup .. work work and work!

First we had Dim Sum at Fu Shan...

Eventhough it was a bit pricey, who cares it was our holiday. Eat and sleep were our utmost priority. After taht we headed to Pangkor Laut Resort.

We took an agonizing 45min of boat ride to get there. Then 10 10 10 10 10 ....
We didn't get to stay one of these. However this place will certainly blow you away.

What about a closer look?

What about looking from the top?

What about looking under the jetty?

We were so blessed because there was no rain on the second day when we were there. And because of that I managed to capture the awasome sunset.

Tried very hard.

Tried very hard again.

Maybe I should stick to still objects.

That's all ... rest of the day rained like cats and dogs. Anyway we looking forward for second trip there. It's a highly recommended place to spend a relaxing- and-get- spoiled holiday with your love one.

Happy B'day to my lovely wife!

2009-02-05T12:15:00.005+08:00

Feb is super busy month not only we celebrated my dear dear's birthday and so as my mother in law's birthday, we also celebrated my brother in law and grandmother's.

Company trip (Kota Kinabalu 08)

2008-11-04T16:47:00.015+08:00

Someone say best place to visit. As for me if you are craving for seafood and nature then is KK is the place you. Unfortunately nothing is cheap and damn .. we had seafood in this restron called Ocean and it cost us a boom! kaa ching rm1500 for 12 people. thanks you. Then I also had the most expensive dry noodle in my life that cost me rm7/bolt that only serve nothing but noodle + siew yuk! However everything was pay by company.. haha.. who cares.

Day 1. We went to this place called kudat! rumours says kudat market pack with good stuff unfortunately the rumours is not true. It is just 2 row of shops only. Thanks to the shopperholic gals colleague but the main highlight is not shopping but to visit this place called The Tip of Berneo. Well wat can i say ..

Introducing "The Team"

The leng chai leng lui photo

The Tip of Borneo

yup! tell me about it I never never there is such places like this.

Roses among the torns

The tip of Berneo again!

The Last pic of Day 1

What can I say?

Day 2. We went to this place call Mount Kundasan. It located at the bottom of mount kinabalu. It need at least 2 hours to reach this place. The chinese called this place God hills. Well for me there is nothing Godly stuff ard kundasan area but you would ask me to discribe this place. Hmm .. it little bit similar to cameron highland. Cool + fresh air + cheap vege but one things for sure you cannot get this the view that overlook mount KK. Well wat can I say somemore? Unfortunately mount KK is over block by clouds mainly because of continues rain for the pass few days. Oh ya .. I almost forgetten the canopy walk. Well is recommended for those people like hiking and not recommended for people whose have weak heart.

Negaraku ..ku ..

Kundasan durian anyone?

Kundasan market overlooked Mount Kinabalu.

Day 3. Tunku Abdul Rahman Island located near KK just less then 30min ride you can reach this wonderful place. Business for me as usual. Snap snap ..

Lyon

2008-10-05T17:10:00.002+08:00

Long time didn't post la! Anyway I just got back from Lyon last week. Well i would say Lyon is very nice, apart from old buildings and good food, there is nothing much you can do in Lyon. If you plan to visit this city. 3 or 2 day would be sufficient. Although it is my first time in Lyon it gave me a very nice feeling and people there r really friendly and nice. Unfortunately I only have one night in Lyon anf I wuld recommend people to visit Lyon rather then Paris. Well, I hope I can cover as much as possible but fortunately with a little time on hand I manage to cover a fraction of Lyon. Here are some of the shot taken from Lyon city.

Sunrise nothing to do with Lyon but I would like to share this pictures to people whose read blog (I assume none .. how sad) this photo taken from the plane from amsterdam back to KL.

Timothy Cell Retreat Bkt Tinggi 08

2008-09-02T10:58:00.010+08:00

Last week was a great weekend for me. We went to a place called orchard farm for Timothy cell retreat. Anyway it is not a farm but a very nice resort that surrounded by natures. At first I am but skeptical because the road condition was really bad! but somehow once reach resort I can help but say WOW! nice place and view. I bet you never been a resort that rely nothing but generator and fresh water from a nearby stream. Seriously light off at 1am. No fan, no aircon but again there was a BUT ... cold breezes from nearby forest + rain rock the place.

Hereby some of my humble shot

My First HDR PIC

2008-08-14T09:43:00.005+08:00

Hmm ... I really want to produce a HDR for long time but just don't have to the time to it. Well these pics taken from scotlant during my last trip there. I can't help but to admire the surrounding landscape. Therefore I waste no time and took 13 different exposures under the same postion and then combine into one HDR pics. Long story cut short, pic didnt turn to be my expectation but what the heck! a bit blur blur tei and also partly my PS skills ...haha .. good try... I blame it onto my flimsy tripod. Arrr! Can someone sponsor me a Manfrotto?

Nature encounter!

2008-07-31T14:35:00.005+08:00

I took this shot while this mantis eating or chewing his prey! But somehow this incident remind of God might creation. Then I quickly ran down to my car and took my bible out and God show me his words abt his creation. He refer me to Psalm 104. However I wish to put everything down "word by word" but too long there I post my favorate verse found in verser 33-34.

"I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

May my meditation be pleasing to him as I rejoice in the Lord" Amen?

Can't wait to praise him this coming sunday

Have you ever thought of retiring?

2008-07-22T16:12:00.004+08:00

Some may wonder where is Isle of Skpe? It located west of Scotland. It is tiny little island some may not pay attention to it but it certain a perfect place for retiring. We spend 3 days there, although is a bit rush but he have good time there. Cold win+clean air+wonderful landscape+friendy neighbourhood n etc.
This is my second trip to Isle of Skpe. Highly recommend for any couple whose plan to have scottish baby (hehehe ... ). Hmm ... this trip brought back a lot of sweet memories. All these sweet memories still fresh in my mind.

Lamb Chop yummy! Let me have some ....
" What are you looking at dude!!!!".

(I don;t abt you my guess is sheep population more then human in scotland)
Not the highest point of isle of skpe but it certainly "COLD"!!!!
Peaceful life = Gloomy could + cold wind + simple life

AGC Turning Point Youth Camp!

2008-06-02T23:20:00.007+08:00

Is finally over! or shall I said it is just the beginning? After 4 days of countless preparation, last min job, sleepless night, awful dorm singing from next dorm, running up and down, cleaning toilet, get burned under the sun during amazing race, blah blah... etc ! Well if you ask me whether I enjoy the camp or not? I would say yes and no. "Yes" is because of happy seeing so many of you all coming especially those whose came to seek and learn God words. I enjoy most of the Julius session and fellowship from camper. "No" of course I didn’t get to spend time with campers. Well I guess is worth it because whatever we do as long as we labor in God it will not go in vain! I hope I get to see more young people committed themselves to share and serve in the next camp! Let us look forward to the next camp shall we? At last I want to thanks those whose made this camp a successful one especially camp committee, camp speaker and workshop leaders!

Here are some of the picture taken from the camp! hope you guys like it~! .............. I wish can post more. Pls come for the camp reunion.... date and place TBA

Melaka Trip

2008-04-07T14:48:00.000+08:00

Last sat we decided to take a ride down to Melaka for camp site survey. We managed to stop by at a few historical site and this was one of it. I never knew there is a street called jongka street until my church friend brought me there. Hihihi .. ulu

I was pretty amazed by some of the transformations of the old buildings and I would say well kept. Well done! but oops! wait until you go and have something. I guess bill include building maintenance fees. So poor people like us usually don't go in.

Ahhhhhh! finally Deng Deng Tai Ming (Melaka Hi Condense Sugar Level Ais No Kacang). Taste good but not my kind of desert. For sweet stuff lover it was only RM2!! Go enjoy the finest sugar water in Melaka. Location pls ask my friend In the next picture.

Damn sweet! but i guess once in while ok la!

If wonder who they are? they are my good friends. On your left BWK (blow water king cum tour guide) = PYY. On your right Winson seldom talk but sometimes can be very mean and funny too. Of course the conservation turn out like this...

PYY: Yummy!! tastes good ...
Winson: Ok la! I think is a bit too expensive RM2 for ais.
Ian: (busy taking photos of my bowl of ais NO kacang)
PYY: No la .. where got! Only Melaka you can find this taste of sugar!

Winson: Wow! ya ka?

Ian: (still busy taking photos) in my mind (I hope there is not many diabetics in melaka)

PYY: Blah .. blah

This interesting stuff. Melaka Dol dol (don;t know how to spell it, something like that la) some sweet stuff again. But the interesting things we meet this Leng Chai from KL.

Here is the conversation:

Leng Chai: Hoi leng Melaka Dol dol . Ng sek mai lei tei!
PYY: Err .. how much?
Leng Chai: Only RM2 for 3pc. (then out of sudden) R u from KL?

Ian: How come you know le? Do we have a KL sign in front of our fore head?

Leng Chai: Aiya you speak contonese so good must be from KL.

Winson: Wow! so do we get extra discount?

Leng Chai: Sure! RM3 for 3pc.

PYY: Hahaha .. very farny. Ok la . we wan .. blah blah!

It remind me again Ng Sok Ng Sek! Chee Suk Mai Suk! then this guy also told us that he has a shop running in Sri Hartamas. Damn (self advertising) .. but who cares a long as it taste good.

If you wonder what is that? is not Ngam Jun Tan! but Deng Deng Tai Ming (Melaka ball rice). Yummy but the "Pak Kai" taste lousy!

Yes! Different ais kacang again from a store located in back street of Jongka street. Apparently it is a secret hide out for food lovers. Well, this ais kacang didnt taste as good as the first store...

2008-03-31T17:30:00.000+08:00

Kevin, Daisy and I at the Korean restaurant.

Nevertheless this is the best picture so far after one 150 picture with the same position. Poor "Ms. Kakasumi"
