A lil respect is what I want

I do hope I can get some lil respect in the family, day by day .. I have to non stop finding where to keep my stuff, there seems no place, every single cupboard, table has been remove from here and there. Sooner or later I wont have any more space for myself.

That is when for me to say bye to everyone .. which wont be long ..

Is really a small world after all

Sometimes really wonder is the world really that small.

Pass few days, I've been randomly meet talk to someone from facebook, millions of users .. and guess what .. I actually got someone same year wif me in secondary school and just few classes away, and someone from same church as well ..

Speechless ...

Christmas ended in few hours time .. and tomorrow is the watchnite ... another long day for me.

Singapore Garden - Swiss Cottage Restaurant, UK

There is quite a number of ppl that I know of goin to UK .. hmm .. So since I've been there, kinda, mostly stay in London. But heeeey ! I guess this is my 1st time actually posting some pics from UK, after back so long .. was really busy tho.

So here is a lil thing that I wanna share among my frens, well, sorry all this food that I took is not in Malaysia, but in UK. Here is what happen.

I do haf a distance relatives stays in London and he drives some sort of cab, not a London Cabbie, but a diff type, more like sending ppl to airport or so. So .. he contacted us, and decide to bring us out around in London and get some really nice food. So here is my personal favourite. My comment was - " For once I actually forgotten I'm in London " The food is heavenly !! I dun usual post bout food as u all frequent readers know bout that. But this is really special case.

The shop is operated by a Singaporean, the shop has been established there since 1984, yeah a pretty long history shop. The shop name is Singapore Garden. But hey, there is 2. This one I talking bout is Swiss Cottage Restaurant, not the one located at Chiswick - also same Singapore Garden, but that for take away only.

Here are the pics, dun mind the pic actually jumle up from starter to main course.

Main Course - Fresh Scottish Lobsters, Naturally Steamed on bed of noodles

Lets take a closer or side look of it =) Drooling ?? This is my personal fav.

Is kinda cooling that time, but hey ! Who can resist of the ABC ?

If not mistaken this is Starter - Crispy Aromatic Duck. Which U suppose roll it with some cucumber and some sauce .. and eat it like a spring roll .. yummy .. yummy ..

Pork Satay !! Roast til just nice ... juicy ..

Starter - Spring roll !!

This is a bomb ! Fresh Steamed Diver Pick Scallop ! Is super super fresh ! Served wif some glass noodle on top of it. Nice and Simple and tasty

Lets take another view of it =)

There is more I ate of coz, I missed out the Kuay Pie Tiee anyway .. hahaha ..

Wanna know more information ? Visit Singapore Garden

A lil note to all my fellow passengers + some 'fun'

Erm, today during lunch time, a parent called me and telling me bout some stuff .. and asking me keep my eye and kinda take care of the children .. I agreed on that issue.

Is kinda sweet that how much the parents know bout their children tho. So to those peeps that often travel in my car ! I really dun mind, and yet I will actually alot appreciate that if your parents actually asking who is fetching u and pls dun hesitate to give my number to them k ! is alwiz to be safe in that way. So they know where u all when go out wif me .. and at least they got extra person to call if they cant reach u !

Good example - few years ago, LiEn and TianAn. And u might wanna consider EstherLiew as another diff case, which the dad called me to pick them up. LOL .. parents do trust me.

~ + ~

In this few days time, U can say Im pretty lifeless .. or so. But hey ! I actually feel so pissed on someone's post bout someone and I actually decide to flame that someone that I dun even know.

Lifeless eh ? Up to u to judge in my situation. When u realise someone post bad stuff bout ur best fren .. and start mocking them down.

What u goin to do ? Keep quiet ? Flame back ? or laugh ur heads off .. I actually will prefer laugh my heads off .. but .. y do I choose to flame ? I simply not in good mood as well .. and yeah =D Just .. for fun.

What you think ? Childish is what u gonna say bout me ? hahaha .. I wont mind. In fact .. I think I really am in that situation. Put ur hand at ur heart .. and ask .. what actually u goin to do =)

SS2 CG Potbless 2007

So .. on Friday which is 30/11/2007, the SS2 CG actually had the potbless. This time Im guessing we had few new ppl actually join us for that nite, and hey ! Uncle Patrick actually dropped by wif a bucket of KFC, which added to the main course.

This is my .. 2nd or 3rd year attending the CG .. and the number of new ppl join in our CG still growing ! Well, not as fast as last year tho .. but this year we having Linda joined us as well .

So for the nite, We had lots of dishes ... Im guessing quite alot. Food is really delicious, almost tried everything, from pizza to fried rice .. sowee Chrstine, cant try ur cooking again ..

When we wanted Weng to say grace .. it was funny to us, but ouch to siew mai XD

Here is some pic for that nite - We also celebrate Weng's, Aarons, Angeline (not choo), and Christine Bday ! As you can see we got 2 cakes, due to communication prob, we actually had 2 .. lol. Is double blessing ! Both are choc cakes =P that shows how much we love choc

These are the 2 choc cakes !

The peeps that came that nite ! A lil ordinary normal pose for the camera

Now, lets haf some "trademark" of the SS2 CG - And Meiyii !! y are u giving thumbs up ?

When u had Baskin Robins, U will haf dry ice .. so we just starting playing wif it.

Without my 50mm (Attached to meiyii and hyii's D40) I at least able slow down shuttle for this pic. Nope not some hot coffee, but dry ice.

Movie - I duno what show was that :P

I haf to admit that this time I seriously duno what show I watched last nite, I mean I do know wats the story bout, but heeey . .. I duno the title of the show.

Just a quick post, coz Im actually down wif flu .. I just need more rest I guess.

The show is starring by Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman I suppose =P I told u, I wasnt really awake yesterday was just attract by the show.

The show is bout some magical toy shop, and the original person in charge/founder actually know he is going to passed away after living for like 243 years (?!) and he decided to pass the whole shop all to Natalie portman, in the show, her name was .... nvm cant remember the long names. Is pretty touching, and really is wort lots of thinking after watching, but for my case, I start thinking during the show. Tho is funny sometimes, but I guess I din really larf at all, even Olivia thought I was asleep. Like what happen to me when watching Exodus .. wait is it exodus ? I cant remember, but I do fell asleep til Jerm knocked me up.

Watching the show, sometimes, u really like what the movie said. Is really that u need to appreciate what you have, and believe on your own ability, no matter what you are doing. Like a block of wood, seems useless, but who noes is a magical block of wood that all u need to do is imagination and .. more like break thru from the block of wood itself. Dun really get stuck in the square wood.

Another thing is .. according to the show, in forget what book of shakespear, he actually just say "he died" to tell what happen to the character, no metaphore or so .. u dun need to use bombastic words to describe that, he died means he died, is just simple as that. Some ppl just haf to really care so much bout someone's death. I know is hard to accept the truth that a person that u are close that actually leave this world. But what else can you do other than crying ? Y not just live life to the fullest ? And .. really just appreciate your daily life. There is so many things around you that u really can take a look at it, probably u might wanna just stop walking so fast and take a look around you ?

There is this part in the show, the lil boy named Eric if not mistaken, using paper and pen and try to be friend with the accountant of the toy shop .. they called him as mutant, but his name in the show is Henry. Is just like there is barrier or communication .. is pretty touching when the "convo" goes .. tho there is a glass in between of them. The lil boy wanna play checkers wif Henry, but Henry just replied "Love checkers when I was a kid", "Im working now" and "I never stop working .. " and the lil boy goes "oh .. =(" Sounds sarcastic or sad ? I think that is for us to judge by then.

Just some thoughts of mine .. a lil thing to add, Natalie portman in that show .. actually reminds me of Julia Andrews .. lol when she in Sound of Music that time ! I din mean Natalie Portman is tat old ! lol .

New outlook ?

So .. just a lil update, I actually went for a hair cut .. and for my 1st time I spend 45 bux just for a hair cut .. ok ok. Also include washed as well. So is a really good experience sitting in there .. when they start give some massage... which I really think is ticklish =P

The feeling is quite scary when u actually let the whoever who cuts ur hair handle the decision what they gonna give, and my brain is like non stop flashing the word "Bad hair day"
So .. after fin everything .. I put on my glassses .. and ..... .. .. . quite shock , but .. yeah. So I text Linda, who actually walked around while waiting .. and I just test "OH NO !!" XD. The fact is .. not that bad I guess, is short .. and .. I think I tried this style before .. so .. =)

Well .. done a lil shopping, bought a pants. 1s time I actually buy myself some clothing .. hahaha. Okie, admit I din do it all by myself, and Im not the one actually realy go look around.. is just that someone do it for me, look for some and ask me to try on.

So .. that is basically how I spend my day .. =) some comics .. enjoy

1st time Tennis experience

After so many years, I finally get my hand on a tennis racquet, all this while tennis, is something that I actually not very familiar with, cept wathching it over the television set, or even reading some comic bout playing tennis, or even hooked on the com game (which is wat happen now .. )

Thanks alot PeiWen for taking all the trouble come to my house and pick me up early in the morning, and really really sorry that I mixed up the time .. and =P not to mention .. woke up after u called. Step into the tennis court, nothing is new to me, stepped in before last time, just for fun .. but is really my 1st time holding a racquet, and realise there is diff type of tennis racquet that is available. Okie .. u cant blame me for that ok, in badminton the only diff is maybe the grip of the string and thats all, in badminton they do haf another type of racquet, but is not allowed to use in competition and no point buying it as well. So looking at the diff type of tennis racquet .. really new to me. Not to mention bout the racquet, even the there is diff type of tennis ball, do u just call them as tennis ball or they haf a better name ? Oh well, fact is .. today coz is my very 1st time actually going to hit a tennis ball, so is a soft ball .. are they all soft ball ?? lol ..

Start with some basic bout how u hold a racquet .. how u swing it .. and so on .. having hard time to adjust myself from badminton - using wrist strength, to tennis - using whole arm to swing. Well ... I non stop letting the ball goes flying over the entire court ,and having hard time to keep the ball down. Is mainly because, I keep on swing it halfway .. and leaving the racquet points up and wide open, bleeeeeergh ! Not to mention having 3 balls fly outside the fence . ... paiseh !!!!!

After an hour plus of playing ... get to tried how u serve at the right way ... got the strength there I guess .. but =/ the ball landed on my side before bounce over. . so yeah .. failed. and still ... I cant really control where the ball goes .. and again, flying balls over the entire court til the fence there .. and my backhand just cant get to whack any ball yet .. lol

Not bad experience !! Should try more next time .. and haf to remind me to really swing it. Thanks alot for teaching me PeiWen !

ps : and thanks for the breakfast as well =)

Badminton - French Open

Yesterday nite, was the French Open final for all categories. Malaysia double and Single are in the finals and definitely I will be sitting front of Tv and start watching it ..

I really thought is gonna be a good game, looking at the former champion and the veteran team of our Malaysia team .. I remember they play each other few times, nothing is new to them I suppose.

But what actually was - a lousy game play, not from our boys .. but from the former champion China team ! I mean what kinda of match was that ? Admit they do play a lil better but heck ! Calling stop for like endless time everytime ppl actually served the ball ?? Oh come on ! dun start telling me "That is the trick", "That is the strategy " and bla bla and so on .. those ok ! Cant they haf a lil thing call "Sportsmanship" ???

truly ! if u do watch last nite match, even the fans arent happy bout it ! They just booo them instead .. even ref .. Come on ! He do deserve a card warning since earlier when he does that ! If is wasnt those lousy act from the China team, our boys do haf a chance to win. I really thought China is a strong team, but I guess .. no more from now. They play shit ! they do shit stuff just to win ! There no more thing call fair play or even Sportsmanship in them !

Absolutely disgusting ! Tho they won the double .. but ya noe wat .. They dun deserve it as well !!

A lil thing that in my facebook account

I recently added the Christmas tree thingy in my facebook account .. so I actually changed the song that they played at there, they actually let us decide what song we want .. that is pretty kewl.

So .. what I did was, I choose the gingerbread man christmas tree =P kinda cute and I might can eat them whenver I hungry .. haahhaha .. and I choose the rock version of Joy To The World .. I just played the song, supprisingly .. Not bad ya noe !

haha i noe is kinda early for me to mention bout Christmas .. but yeah =D

Body checkup

Just a quick and short wan ..

Today .. I finally went to the body check up, is my very 1s time body check up .. and Im kinda nervous, yet a nite before .. I actually chomp down a number of cheese cake .. wonder will it show a high cholestrol in the report .. and the another thing .. I hate needles !!!

So .. after few hours of waiting . I got back my report .. Finally know my blood group .. and oh yeah ! the needle wasnt that pain .. guess the nurse did a good job on that. I kinda lack of sodium .. wonder how can that be .. and Im weight quite normal, but on the low side. Bout cholestrol .. I actually too low .. so doc say .. is good that I take abit more cheese or milk ..

Im a cheese lover .. so .. WOoooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOTT !!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason of not update

Okieeee.. kena complain so post something to explain y is this blog is not update for almost a month ..

Nope, this blog is not closing, at least not that I know of. Nope, definitely me not having any exam which occupied me til I got no time to blog .. and nope not of one the writter's block that make me din update.

For those u all din noe ..

I was away to London for 9 days at the beginning of the October, and come back and I was busy with stuff, Monday fren's 21st bday, Wednesday Bible class, Friday CG .. then following week got ppl's wedding, and Wednesday got celebration nite and so on .. so yeah =P basically those totally occupied my time to really sit down and browse thru all the pics I take and organize them nicely.

So .. yea.. please forgive for long time no update, once I get some time .. I definitely will do a post spreeeee ..

Free Hug - 2nd Round

Second round, most of the ppl that I actually sms'ed .. and sorry if you guys din met us in The Curve. We was there, but after a while we started wif some good response. The guard came to them - those ppl who doing the free hug .. I was upstair taking from far. After long while of talking .. they cant do it anymore due to they need permission, the guard asked them go the office and apply .. but what we found out - office close. So sorry for Lydia who turned up .. and bare wif the brigh hot sun, but nothing really happened.

Keep everything .. a found out something horror -- My tripod SPOILED ! On my very 1st day of using it .. is still under warranty and goin to KLCC and make noise.

Move on to Bangsar, not bad .. and something kinda interesting -- met some weird ppl. Tho I not around that time, so I wont be posting bout it. Nothing much compare to the 1st time .. so .. not much pics taken. Wil be posted it up but dunoo when. At the mean time . .enjoy the pics that from the 1st free hugs

The Feedbacks + New bag and Tripod

The feedback of them (I din take part . .so yeah .. them) doing the Free Hugs is kinda good from what I get from =). According to my info .. they could be the another time. So peeps wanna join ? I can keep u all update for that part.

Just in case u wonder for more of that info .. here are the few peeps actually posted it as well :
Angie, Kath, Justine

For me . I kinda feel neutral after awhile ..just enjoy taking pics.

Well .. after that day .. I realise I do need a tripod .. coz I actually dun haf any .. and I need a new camera bag, the curent bag was kinda spoiled .. urgh. So after long thinking . and finally make my decision on which to get. So .. I throw in quite a number of cash for a kinda good quality tripod .. and a Crumpler Brazillion camera bag.
Kinda .. sad lookin at the amount of money that splash out .. but .. looking at the stuff I get .. =) not that bad tho.

More pics !! Enjoy

Free Hugs ! - Story on my side

After I post bout this Free Hugs thingy as the 3rd party .. So, since I was there .. I do haf some stories .. hehe. But anyway, for some reason I'm the only one who din give out any free hugs or so. All the time I was taking pictures and pictures. That is what my purpose on that day. I knew it kinda last min tho. Went there wif PeiWen and of coz wif my camera and lenses. I realise .. if they wanna do this kinda free hug, is kinda nice if I take from far range. That is using my 70-300 lense. Shaz, Peiwen, JayYan holding their own camera standing near them .. and I go somewhere far and try to fully utilize my 70-300mm lense. But after a while .. I realise is no good. My hand gets tired .. and my lense is just a G lense no VR. No Tripod .. after few shots .. I decide to move down and change to my 18-70mm lense. Take from close range.

Ppl are kinda aware on me taking pictures .. and some thought we were from a newspaper and afraid their pics shown on newspaper or Tv .. sometimes we do haf to explain. So while taking pics and there is this Indian dude that start talking to us and wonder what are we doing .. Is not a bad talk tho .. explain our motive, telling them we are not related to any organization or so ..
But times that . ppl thought there is a campaign . and we are like the 1st day . and there is few more days coming at the same place ..same time kinda thing. Apparently this ppl never heard before free hugs stuff. Walking around wif my camera .. snap as many pic as I can, snap those kodak moment as fast as I can .. for me .. is not that relax .. but is kinda tired as well .. Rain start pouring down, so we thought of call it a day .. while we moving towards another spot to get Aaron an Shaz, we happen to stop near TGIF and cont this kinda thing .. til the guard asked us to move back where we were just now. Im guessing we blocking da traffic flow at the side. Rain stopped while we moved back .. so we cont the Free Hugs. While the response getting better and better .. we realise we haf to call it a day anyway .. due to ppl's attention focus on the celcom stuff there. But everyone was tired .. so =)

Well .. after reading from what Lydia, Angie, Geri's comment .. Im guessing is kinda success .. and good news. There is gonna be 2nd time.

At the end a shampoo advertisement pic - =P Taking what Ps Matt Fielder said before I should go .. "COME OUT IN JESUS NAME !! " =P jk ..

Free Hugs ?

Sunday, 23 September 2007. 4 p.m.

There is bunch of young ppl, around 5-6 of them appear at The Street of The Curve holding manila card and wif the word "Free Hugs" on it.

Ppl walking pass .. and just give that kind of "what are u all are doing" kinda face expression. Some even whisper in a loud voice "desperate ... " .. and of coz, some ask what organization .. and some just support by -- Hugging !!

Why are this young ppl standing there .. and giving out free hugs ?? Are they desperate ? The answer will be definitely - NO ! You wont be supprise that how many ppl are actually walking there, looks happy but yet inside of them is real sad .. or just moody. Giving a hug to them .. u might just cheer them up just by that simple way. This ppl actually doing it not for profit, not for any benefit. But willingly, just to spread the love around. We the Asian country, is not as open as the foreign country wherelse hugging is kinda common.
In Malaysia, ppl still think that .. guys hug guys = gay .. gals hug gal is ok wan. Guys hug gals = unless is ur gf, if not u just taking advantage of them .. But there is frenship hug and so on.

Not just because of what normally ppl think. But the prob is .. even tho is a free thing .. but yet, the response wasnt that awesome at all. Ppl just come and ask "Y free hug ?? " U can give out free gift .. and ppl just queue up and ask for more. But when giving out free hugs .. ppl just think that there is motive behind .. or there is some newspaper thingy .. if not there will be some candid camera doing some prank stuff .. and show on Tv .. Tons of explanation .. and tons of ppl asking us.

Salute and high respect to those tat took part in it !! Standing there for few hours, under the not so heavy rain, expose themself wif all sort of weird and negative comments, which I believe din hurt them at all. Taking the risk of facing all sort of ppl. Seriously, u wont know what kind of motive when some weird ppl come and hug u.

What am I was doing ?? Im not giving out any free hugs .. just if u wonder. I just taking pictures and pictures and pictures. =) More stuff come out .. wait til I sort out what to post bout "Free hugs". At the mean time . enjoy all the pics !! and ... im not in any of the pic =P

(Ps: that is not me .. that is JayYan wif her EOS40D )

Pictures are taken with :
Nikon D70s

Lenses that been use :
18 - 70mm F3.5/5.6
