Anyone wants to buy pretty dresses?

If we don't wear pretty dresses when they're young, then when? :-D

Found this really cool photo while I was surfing. .

Somewhere over the rainbow

way up high,

There's a land that I heard of 

Once in a lullaby~

Somewhere over the rainbow 
Skies are blue, 
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where the troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Never in my life I see double rainbows and this 2 had to be so beautiful.

Beautiful flowers..but look again

Question of the century: Can you spot the mosquito?

p/s: Photo taken with my Sony Ericsson C905. Not bad ar..can capture obscure pest. Feel tempted to smash the mosquito? Go ahead! But don't damage the flowers, k. ;-)

Happy Chinese New Year 2010!

Wishing everyone a year of Good Health,

a year of Joy,

a year of Prosperity,

a year of Love,

 a year of Wonderful Fellowship,

a year of Success,

a year of Good Food,

a year of Great Fortune!

My first try of lomo effect. Does it look like one?

I want to lick you

"Lick lick..you are my best friend"

Neighbour's puppy kept in the backyard. Very active and cute.
One of them (5 or 6 in total) got stuck and hanging on the fence today.

Helped us to gobbled up all the cat's leftover food (chicken and fish bones).

Odd break start of the year.

Amid all the glooms of church building attacks and the shattering visions of 1Malaysia (I myself were trapped anxiously waiting for news updates), I feel it's time again to look at the sunny side of life and while it lasts.

Last week, my good friend Serena came over for a week's visit. Remember my previous post on Kionsom? I then took a Thursday off to to discover the feel of being a Sabahan again. Ya, being dramatic.

I always feel that the mountain areas in Sabah are very peaceful and it always reminds me of the Rainforest music. Sometimes I feel like I can stay there forever.

The journey began at 6am with me arriving at Yinsoon's house. 6am! You know, I don't even wake up that early for work. But nevermind, I get to see how the morning school traffic jam again. Just like the sweet old days where all of us begged to grow up fast.

A good early morning best starts with Tuaran Mee. Tamparuli version also accepted.

Tamparuli's wooden shophouses. Not many left in Sabah. You can still find them around Papar.

The lone hut overlooking Mount Kinabalu

Me and Serena

Our 1st stop was at Kinabalu Park. Well, this is not the 1st time I've been there. But all other times, the stop was just to pop by and say hello to Kundasang's 'must stop' park. I suggested the visit to be a little bit more adventurous since we can't climb Mt. Kinabalu.

Ya, jungle trekking!

A short one. To Bukit Tupai Shelter

Come follow me!

The walk was through tree roots and stony staircases. Sometimes muddy. All I wore on my feet was a pair of Vincci sandals.

Right foot

Left foot

And this - the destination for the 380metres uphill climb.

Seeing rainforest. Cool.

The next stop was Kundasang War Memorial. And again this wasn't the 1st time of me being there. But if you're in Kundasang, this is also another must visit place. For people who love to take pictures, this would be a good place as it housed many types of beautiful floras and sceneries. Charge per entry for Malaysians is RM2.00.

They have this visual room to show visitors about the Sandakan's death march. When it came to the part where the soldiers starved to death (and it's really sad), the visitors in front shook their heads in disbelief.

Bangau trying to catch some Koi fish

Blooms at the park

And the Kundasang Valley. Sometimes when the sky is good, you can even see Mount Kinabalu. The view is totally superb.

The last stop was in Poring Hot Springs. Ok this would be a memorable one. 1st, I get to junggle trek again to a waterfall. 2nd, I get to dip my feet in the hot bathtub! Finally!

This waterfall would be around 100+ metres walk from the TreeTop Canopy walk's entrance.

I started to feel that this day was meant for real exercise after all those office hours and unhealthy non-exercise life. Glad that I can still walk and breathe!

The water was icy cold but not as cold as the one at Mesilau. I felt as though fishes were nibbling at my feet but when I looked down there was none. Weird.

There's another waterfall about 3km walk from the TreeTop Canopy walk, but because of time contraint, I have to leave that for another day. This time perhaps I want to really dip in the hot spring tub and visit the Sabah Tea Garden.

Yinsoon's couz drove real fast and we reached KK in 2.30hrs. Normal journey from Ranau would take about 3 to 3.30hrs. Surprisingly also, there weren't any no loaded trucks around to slow us down.

It is advised to leave Ranau/Kundasang before sunset as the roads are not supplied with streetlights and sometimes foggy.

My Project 365

I've converted my old blog into my Project 365. Do pay a visit at Paw Scribbles. TQ!

Yes, I'm going to use my loyal Canon Ixus 60.

Would you take a photo a day - Project 365

Stumbled across TheBackpackr.com at PPS and found that few (and maybe a LOT MORE) is embarking on this project - A photo a day for 365 days to document your life in a year. Sounds exciting isn't it?

Will give it a try starting tomorrow! Damn excited.

As a cheer to my upcoming project - Mr pre-Project 365 photo:-

This photo means that I'm stuck at work on New Year Eve. I remember last year I was having holiday. Well, at least I have Ferrero Rocher as my friend. The missing one is already the stomach. Yum!

I love SiemReap

1st day

I must thank SiemReap for giving me sights to most beautiful architecture and meaning of simple life (although I can find that in Sabah too).

I have a chance to make a short trip there for 3 nights during the Chinese Lunar New year and I can say that I will return for another visit, and many more visits if $$ permits.

Upon arrival to Siem Reap airport. Architecture looks more like a beachside resort.

A street in Siem Reap...cool isn't it?


Grave inside one of the temples

A visit to the Artisan Angkor, where Cambodia finest crafts are made. Compared to China tours, one thing I like about Cambodia is that they don't pressure tourists to buy their products.

Aerial view from the hotel. Perfect isn't it? No tall buildings.

Travelling in tuk-tuk with my parents.


Look at the condition of the road. The tour guide told us that they don't call this bumpy road anymore. It's dancing road!

The year that was...2008

Forget about new year Resolutions. They never work and is not practical. Not Practical!

Rather than drawing up some unfulfillable resolutions, I'd rather think about what I've done and achieved in the yesteryear of 2008.

1. Completed my CLP in 1 sitting
2. Attended ATC's Grand Convocation the 2nd time
3. Started my pupillage
4. Attended my 1st company dinner
5. Went to Shanghai when the autumn season just started
6. Get tanned during my breath-taking summer holidays
7. Visited the disabled children's home in Taman Megah
8. Learnt how to do hair updos
9. Wore my 1st proper cheongsam
10. Had a mini reunion with the Bestarians 2002
    
11. Watched a European film
12. Going to Seremban for a dinner (for Christmas and Dongzhi festival)

And I've also compiled a pictures of my 'award winning' photos


Breathtaking aren't they?

And a peek into my whole year's compilation...


At least these memories are truly mine. Thank you 2008.

Hi 2009.. can you give me a SLR..please?

Happy Chinese New Year 2008!

Welcome to the year of the rat, where the cat will feast! Hohohoho....cats will be happily pouncing on every rats that they'll see.

the cat patiently waiting

Then it posed...taking a comfortable position

Hello, rat!

credit to Dom's aunt..cat

Wishing all my family and friends a happy and prosperous new year, may your studies and/or career be fruitful and in abundance. Wishing you all good health with peace and joy in the family.

I heard over the radio that those who are born in the year of Ox, will have a great year ahead! Those who are lucky, may you bless others who are not as lucky as you.

Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Coming CNY

The year of the rat is coming soon...and I'm also going back to Sabah soon..hooorraayyy! Few days back, I have been to 1U and The Curve in search for a beautiful pair of shoe, but search ended in vain. Nevertheless, once again I've captured some scenic view of the CNY 'feel' there....but nothing beats Bt. Bintang's CNY feel. That's where Chinese young and old shop for their new clothes at a more affordable price for their favourite fashion trends from the Far East.

I like the bluish color of the window panes reflection and sky amidst those hanging red lanterns.

CNY is suppose to be spring festival. Here, we have it the summer style..as always (even Christmas). Beautiful clear blue sky, such rarity in Kuala Lumpur.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Sick day

These 2 days I've been down with fever due to a throat infection. It's the least thing you want to be in because swallowing your own saliva (or anything) is like swallowing 10 stones down your throat. So the last thing you want to do is eat or drink. But I was on hunger pangs, so I didn't care whether I'm swallowing rocks, pebbles, marbles or any stones at all.

Today, I've cooked myself a healthy meal. It's dry pasta with some mixed vege and chicken ham.

A brief intro to my dish, it does look a bit dry since I didn't make any sauce for it..guess what I used? Thousand Island dressing!

Upclose and personal with my pasta..yum?

Like 2 nostrils sticking out (ignore the 3rd one)

Perfect for a fun and simple meal...next time I shall not forget to keep a jar of Alfredo sauce on standby.

5th September

Biu cat: Honey, don't leave me!

Karen: How I wish I don't have to leave you for now.....Do take care my dear gold cat. I'll miss your meow dearly.

Biu cat: Meowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Admiring some pictures

Admiring my mom's flower, and also the power of Canon ixus 60.
