Bon Odori [2012]

                I've just open my eyes after spending over 5 minutes thinking when was my 1st Bon Odori experience. I certainly remember going with Sam and Mei Qing aka Aunty Pumba when I was form 5 and bang some cars while parking. Another time during my form 6 period with my old N'tau's gang where a corn stuck in my nose" torturing me to the Max! But why I just cant recall who did i went with during my 1st trip? I remember someone macho carried me up his shoulder and the fireworks almost hit me as it fly off super low.. *Crazy experience.. 

And Yup. Times flies and finally in 2012, I was there again with a friend. Both with DSLR camera trying to play around with night settings and to witness the ever popular fireworks. 

One of the highlight of the day is that I am fortunate enough to park my car in between the esplanade sea and field even when we reached there late around 8. *Just when my friend was saying "let's try our luck" and "BOOM", a car signaled out and gave us an empty space. *Picture to your left: Can spot my car?

So, we started off by walking pass the crazy busy food area where I don't think I manage to look into any of the stalls since most of the time we were just trying to get to the other end of the road.  *I errr, actually met my Motorola cubical mate there. She was with her bf and younger sister. And when we finally turned into the games corner, our hands get itchy and started taking pictures while stopping by stalls by stalls to check out interesting stuff. 

After all that, we finally settled down near the stage to watch the performances. They were all actually quite good. Awesome to be exact. We could see that the performers were really enjoying themselves up there. Not something i could easily forget. 

And after the traditional rasa sayang dance: Fireworks time!! 

To my surprised, somehow my friend was right. The fireworks did started firing up exactly at 10pm as planned. I was thinking Malaysia standard practice normally buffer around 30 minutes. Maybe cause this is a Japanese event.  

And so, the fireworks didn't disappoint. Nice to witness a proper one after so long. I think my last fireworks experience was during New Year celebration in 2010/2011 Straight Quay. The rest are just small small one for CNY and stuff. You can watch the entire fireworks video i captured on top.

It was a Good Night. 

Cheers

And [ I ] Thought Last Week Was Crazy Enough..

Day 1: Started off by waking up 6.45 in da Saturday morning for a hike to Monkey Beach after a night out with some old mates! Took about 1.5 hours to reach there (Due to some technical errors) but did many crazy stuff along the way and finally build my first ever Sipeh Noob eh Sand Castle on the beach!! Caught quite an attention around the visitors cause our castle was kinda in da hot spot.. Back to Civilization on Boat of Cause as the sun burned my ass off!

Monkey Beach Hike + Sand Castle

Then in all randomness, we decided to visit the Butterfly Farm since my friend haven't been there!! *My 3rd time in 2 years. Thanks to my Endau Ba Steven Ng yet again we only got to pay almost HALF Price for the entry!! And ya, here is where I got to test my Canon DSLR to the limit but due to limitation from the user's skill, pictures are just OKay nia.. Then, sign my friend off after a cheese cake session at Straight Quay.

Butterfly Farm: Just Okay Skills from the user

Hours later a friend called for a Board Game Session! And so I went over the Green Lane McD and started rubbing writings off the game papers so we could reuse them and save some trees!! Board Game is called:  CASHFLOW!! Interesting game but I was last out of 6 players. Ate the promotion buy 1 free 1 thingy and met some old friends there as well. Balik Pukul 2++ am. Tidor Kemudian.

Day 2: Bangun 9 in pagi and go kidnap Joshua again to the Independent band performances + Tropfest sempena the closing day for the Geogetown 1 month long Fetival. Awesome day! 12 Hours of non stop action camping at Botanical garden. One of the indi band stand out miles away from the others, that alone make my 20 ringgit ticket worth while.

Best Band Of The Day

Had Mcd for lunch then RM4.5 nasi lemak for dinner. Nite time i got to be on the same field with our Penang CM, Guan Eng!! This event is superbly organised I must say, Never for once I enjoyed a governmental event this much. Started with some soft instrumental songs then interesting speeches from the President, Phua Chu Kang's wife: Margret and finally our CM!!

Tropfest: World Largest Short Film Festival! And It's held In Penang!!

 Then the show started by playing 9 top short movies in the world (2 more got banned due to censorship)  in conjunction to Tropfest theme: Light bulb. Awesome LCD wide screen display I must say, Movies were crystal clear and the content are beyond awesomeness!! Specially love the old couple playing dead one I must say. *Check them out if you guys can go google it up. And so Event ended at 11pm and i got myself a T-shirt to show some support. Got back, lepak and upload some photo's. Tidor pada 3++.

T-Shirt to show some Support!!

Day 3: Wakes up at 830am cause mum thought today was working day. Off straight to Georgetown with a mission: CAPTURE ALL DRAWINGS IN THE STREETS!! And yo, took us crazy 5 hours to accomplish this and finally a tea break at *Bite Sensation: Pg Time Square.

Me Flying!!

Back home after that and received a call yet again from Fitness first! Oh gosh, forced me to go at 8pm after i delayed them for over 2 months. Need to train up my rejection skill. *Thanks Funngy for giving my name to them!! And so i geared up and while I am about to leave, I called them up and make another awesome excuse!! Oh yea. so here I am, lepaking on the internet then suddenly feel like updating my DEAD blog.

Signing off!
Cheers!!

Then it was suddenly no where to be seen

Buried in my closet

until

Bali - June 2011

In the name of Macho-ness

Here comes..

Oh Yes..

I've been to Bali

[ uncle ] Loh ?

Monday (21 Mac 2011)

A happy day

The day my big brother became a father

May I proudly Presents

From the production of Loh Family:

My 7 days year old Niece!!

*photo taken 8 hours after her birth*

Weight up to 3.2kg!!

Take a closer look:

Chubby Chubby Cheeks!!

And her 1st trip back at her new home:

On Safe/Steady hands!!

Just a quick announcement,

I'm still not yet an uncle

Not untill she start calling me that

[M]egamind

Megamind: In cinema near you

Its been awhile since my last cinema experience. And when I finally did, it's MEGA-MINDED!! Lots of cheesy fun stuff in an entertaining kind of way. So if lets say u got the girl, then this can be part of the plan.

Superhero: Never be the same

Not sure if you realized this, but villains are starting to take the stage. Guess Hollywood is now tired of making awesomely good people (aka hero's) GOOD all the time. Awesomely cooler evilness characters are gaining popularity and people actually loves them! *Think, no need for me to name a few.. Anyhow, the idea worked but don't be surprise if your kids prefer blood sucking vampires action figures over Barbie dolls or Power Rangers.

Back to revision for Finals!!

tata~~

Kudos to everyone!!

This blog finally hit the 5000 visitors mark..

now, moving on to the next target: 50,000.00

Pyramids [ mysteries ]

Did You Know?

Today : We still doesn't have the technology to duplicate any of those pyramids but somehow it was build by people who lived more than 3000 years ago.The pyramids were built in such a way that they line up with certain stars and planets at certain times.
( watch transformers 2 if ya don't believe it )

Hmm.. I can't help but wonder :
JUST HOW ON EARTH DID THE EGYPTIAN BUILD THEM?

The pyramids of Giza

After minutes of my very own research around the internet, there are a few possibilities :
1) Someone travel back from the future to help
2) They are able to harness mind power to move 10 ton stones
3) Aliens
4) They are freaking smarter and more advance than us!!!

HAH! Come back to your senses!!

Stars Alignment :
The brightest of the 3 stars of Orian's belt

OKAY
All we are certain is that Pyramids of ancient Egypt were built as burial tombs for Egyptian royalty as they believed that when you die, you take it all with you. So all the pure gold stuff, treasures and personal private toys will all be placed inside.

The layout around the Pyramics...

Another thing we must know is that there are still countless areas in the pyramids which are yet to be explored and from what I heard : Secret Chambers and unforgivable curses!! Just like what's in Harry Potter. COol Huh?

NOW
Who wants to go to Egypt with me?

Kidding

Next post will most probably about
the connection between Titanic and Egyptian curses
STAY tune..

Back from [ KL ]

.

For those who didn't know,

I went for a one day trip in KL yesterday..

And the night view in KLCC was just spectacular!!

hey! It was my 1st time here k?

Hahaha..

Initially I was suppose to meet my Penang friends in genting on Friday but due to some technicalproblems i had to skipped that trip and go to KL on Saturday instead..

Sad sad sad sad BUT...

Although It might just be a day in KL, It was super fun as I travel around KL on the Monorail,LRT and MRT ( my 1st time on these trains too ) to places like law yat, KLCC, Times Square,Bukit Bintang, Pavilion, Perhentian and done a little shopping here and there.

Here are some pictures :

Me in front of Pavilion

They told me that this thingy behind me is made

by a very expensive stone or clay wor..

KLCC

haih.. suddenly feel Penang actually quite ULU.. haha

( Btw,I bumped into Angie Ng at this very spot

And she was way different from before )

And Finally : New Shoes!!

My friend and I both bought this fresh from FOS

-The end-

I ALMOST [ became ] SPIDERMAN

.

And this is how it begins :

MOTHER..
As I was watching X-men origin : wolverine incomplete edition on laptop, A spider as big as my fist scoped my half naked body in silence then suddenly jumped over my screen when I'm off guard!! AAARRHhh.. As I cream like a real man and try to react manly at the same time, Ah Ping (my current roommate) came to my rescue!!

It was at that very moment,
Mr. spider knew he had just messed with the wrong guy and quickly ran to hide behind my luggage bag right at a corner. Ah ping finds it very interesting and quickly brought out his ultimate weapon : Glass bottle to capture it. Mr. got brain spider knew the safest way to stay alive is to get into the bottle and YES, It was captured.

Herm, Maybe i was wrong about it's size
BUT Mr. spider really look HUGE when it's out.

As we were showing off to others,
Diunia SENG ( my another friend ) thought it was a joke and ter-release Mr. spider!!!! Mr. spider felt scared and quickly hid in the nearest helmet this time. Then the laughing Diunia SENG stands up and :

Thank you

Introducing : [ mon mon ]

"Finally had my chance to go there after more than 10 years"
and it was real :

*~*FUN*~ *
This machine alone is enough to make this trip worthwhile

A total of 18 of us went to this trip last Saturday and 9 of us extend our stay for another night till Monday. So.... 3 days 2 nights for me!!! Hahaha.. Overally this trip was a success as I managed to accomplish all my missions ( except the RM1000 target ) and most importantly, spend some valuable time with my Mum  (Awwwww... sweet rite? ) LOL.

Summary :

*Bought a new pair of nike shoe worth RM45
*Went in and out of the casino more than 10 times
( win/loss : RM65 > -35 > -45 > 0 > 10 )
So total : ++ RM10 ( way off target still )
*Learned how to shout : PICTURE! PICTURE! PICTURE!
*Ate Burger King for the 1st time
*Go Enjoy at the Theme Park
*Ate 3 out of 4 maggiee cups I brought to there
*Had lotsa fun with my friends there
*Met Carmen Chong in the casino!! bad girl~~
*Sneak in 6 people into the restaurant for free buffet
*Watch The Legend Of Chung Li
And Finally
*Plan For Next Trip : TIGER SHOW ( BANGKOK )
