星空下的我

今夜抬头看了看星空,
发现昨夜好像一场梦。

同样的一片星空却能展现出不一样的面容。

“好想, 好想...好想, 好想....好想好想和你在一起
和你一起數天上的星星”

每当想起虎跳峡的星空,不禁会唱起这首歌。感觉非常的有feel~

难怪我觉得这首歌很熟悉，原来在古巨基 勁歌金曲里有出现啦！
还有情深深，雨蒙蒙！

 

好想好想和你在一起
和你一起數天上的星星
收集春天的細雨
好想好想和你在一起
聽你訴說古老的故事
細數你眼中的情意
好想好想好想好想
好想好想和你在一起
踏遍萬水千山
走遍海角天涯
讓每一個日子
都串連成我們最美麗
最美麗的回憶

19 days in nepal...

i almost forgot i need to come back to work in sg...
i switch on my laptop my mouse doesn't work for a second i thought i lost touch with technology...
i have tonnes of drama and tv series waiting for me... i don't know where to start..
i still have 1 more rest day before the crazy monday...
i probably stay up late to do all the laundry and unpacking till sunday...
argghh... coming back to sg seems to give me more headache than staying in the high mountain...

we were so luckily that we managed to trek all the way to EBC... i never thought i might make it, cos i was going really slow... any slower would be like a tortoise.. but it's really worth all the dust and the long journey up there... the view up in the mountains are so surreal, calming and magnificent at the same time... it's hard to drag myself back to SG... 

in this19 days in nepal, there's lot of first time...
first time after going up slope for hours and glad that it's finally over.. namche!!!
first time see snow flakes in tengboche...
first time didn't shower for 4 consecutive days...
first time wake up 4am in the day and sleep as early as 8pm in the night...
first time trek on snow...
first time lost terribly Dai2 to an Ang mo and my friend...(i was pretty well-trained since young) 
first time paragliding in pokahra
first time close encounter with so many yaks yaks yaks..
first time eat dal baht and love it...
first time chit chat for over 6 hours with a stranger we just met that day at the tea house. (ryan from canada, he's so chatty, funny and friendly, but he's into serious business... doing and spreading good deeds and love to the other people.. hmm admirable..) *i think maple leaf is calling, Canada please wait for me*
first time bought a roll of toilet paper at SGD 4 dollars!!
first time drink water with lots of plastic and funny looking alien particles inside...
first time to a snow capped mountain...

there's so much so much to enjoy and to feel about for this nepal trip... i wonder if it's possible for me to go next year... again... namaste nepal.. :) once it's never enough..

五指山、天涯海角、南山海上观音

I was looking up some project reference for 海南岛, and saw these 3 places popping up as i searches for photos and reference... makes me want to go there for holiday...

imagine going to 天涯海角... can shout something like what they always did in the movie

“不管走到天涯海角,不管等到天荒地老,也要找到我的哪个她。”

and 南海观音 must be as big as the statue of liberty...

was it 悟空 being trapped under the 五指山... if i'm there, i might turn into 猪八戒.. haha... with such fairy-tale like scenic surrounding...

a journey to the west

long time no blog... wahaaa.... very tied down with work... finally managed to sneak off a weekday to go on a mini road trip with my friends. :)

And we drove all the way to KL on Friday morning 5.30am!!! i have to work till 3am on Friday, and was left with 1 hour time to pack my stuff.. quick and easy, the standard stuff that i bring to Genting... LOL being there too many times with my family know what to pack in a weekend.

We pool in a total of RM800 for this road trip for 4 pax, which managed to cover all our expenses from petrol, toll and even food. We got our lodging for free thanks to yihui's company service apartment at KL which fit 9 of us prefectly!! there's actually space for more ppl imo. I was so tired, that we did make full use of a MJ table we found at the store room in the apartment.

it was an experience, although i just sit through the trip and sleep. It's much easy and accessible with car around KL. shopping was so-so and very tiring for me, nothing much at the pertaling street as usual just imitation goods and ang mohs around, but the food experience at KL was superb. I missed their wanton mee and claypot rice... hmmm.. i had fun snapping some random photo as well... The road up genting was curvy and with high elevated slope, we went up with swift and mazda 3, happily all the way up~

coming back on sunday was really devasting... wahhaaa.. a meal at taman sentosa can't even make me happy... i hate to go back to work... how i wish i can still travel and explore other places in msia... beaches...

selamat back to reality~ Tell me why i don't like monday~

greetings from hongkong

my second day in hong kong, no idea why so tired... old liao.. just jot down in point form before i forgot when i get back to SG.

visit Disney today :) magician carousel and fireworks, a great place to bring kids for holiday next time can bring xiang xiang here!!! weather is extremely cold and windy during the fireworks display.

food experience is great!!! cheap and really tasty. unlike the cha chang teng in SG. Love the milk tea and noodle. This morning, we went to a dim sum place near mongkok recommended by stanley, we ordered too much and couldn't finished the food... i thought it's gonna cost a bomb cos that place looks like red star dim sum in SG, and it's better than that. in the end, we paid SGD$10 for each pax.

neon sign board, loud people in eatery, high rise building with small space, branded goods, morning yum cha... etc etc..

things are not exactly cheap here when it comes to sport brand like adidas and nike. not as cheap as those in aussie factory outlet.

shops and eatery closes as late as midnight. We just had desert at shek mo fang, interesting black glutinous rice with mango and rolled up in black sesame skin..

stepped into H&M yesterday, it's like topshop, but the things are really cheap!!!

btw, It's nini birthday today... i just heard them screaming "Happy birthday" in the room.. damn noisy sia.. haha...

Bedtimes stories

One of my fav thing to do at genting....

catch a movie in their Osim massage chair!!! haha (i had the same one at home), the number of times i actually do sit and massage at home < watching movie in Osim at Genting. crazy me.

watch bedtime stories at only RM 10.50 i think. This movie was quite alright, sometimes they do have very very crap movies over there.

oh by the way, i downloaded skeeter's ring tone "ring ring ringggggggg", it's... absolutely irritating..

Bedtime stories 2.8/5.0

Genting & me

Genting, sometimes informally known as the Las Vegas of Malaysia, dubbed the "City of Entertainment" as it is the only legal land-based casino in Malaysia. I just came back from a short trip with my siblings, and this time round without my parents. they are banned from Genting at the moment. hahaa..

This time of the year weather was really cold, much colder than September when i was there. Perhaps i got lesser clothes on. hahaa.. Every trip up to this particular mountain was a total different experience for me i would say.

I embrace the cooling weather over there, you can wear clothes that are too humid for Singapore. Even though it burnt my pocket every time i stepped into the casino, i kind of enjoy the trip there. Hmmmm, also i love long distance coach trip haa.. i'm so weird. Love the dark sky when i stare out at the window. mind clear. stars bright.

When i'm wandering in genting, it like leaving behind all the work and worries in Singapore. The casino never sleeps and i love to wander around at night, once tired i will head back to the hotel for comfy rest.

Don't worry, i'm not a active gambler, though this shall not be my last time. *grinz*

Just arrived in the misty cold weather - 3am

Bunk in resort hotel much better than first world

There's better view out from the window too~

Discovered hazelnut coffee at old town! love it *muack*

me and my siamese twin, haha.. no la.. my big sis *smile*

solero shot at Genting, went twice & that it! :)

i might be on Schmap Brisbane Guide.. hurhur~

guess what!!! i might be on Schmap Brisbane Guide muahahahaaaa, last year October went to brisbane for video shoot. we had some free time to ourselves and went to warner bro, there's so many rides that i wanted to try but my gu niang colleague only game enough to get on this batman ride with me after much persuasion from me. hehe.

can't hide the excitement!! oh my god, when i grow old i gonna tell my grandson, ah ma was featured on brisbane guide 5th edition. Dun play play~ better go grab one once it's out!! it feel freaking funny la... wahaaa... can't help but to stop whatever i'm doing right now and start blogging... *excited*

damn can't see my face, must be fred toking to me !@#$%^&* he damn scared of the ride sia... lol.. *lousy gu niang* waahhaaa...

anyway he just clicked "accept" wahaaa....

so happy!!~~@!!@$#@%%%%&(^%$%#@

BKK 07 - 14 May... again.. :)

this is mine second time this year... omg... just came back around march...

oh no, i shall banned myself from Bangkok for a year or so... too much of the shopping trip makes me utterly broke... i need more CASH.

well, i had great fun though, every trip is different. for this trip i stayed at khao san where all the foreigners hang out, a pretty sight and vibrant at night, heart the vibe, the pubs and bars there. the hotel room we stayed in was awesome. it's clean, cheap and 2 beds for 4 of us to party. i just love it.

we embarked a religious trip to Golden palace on our third day. Berber and my 3/4 pants didn't make it through the golden gate, ended up we wore thai sarongs. *ha*

We also embarked on the journey to north of bangkok "Ayuthaya", where we get close up with the olden days temples and Buddha. the stones step to the entrance to some of these monuments are very very high. takes me a HUGE step up. well, we spotted a list of things tourist shouldn't do. and 1 thing caught my eye.


seriously, don't do that.

after this religious visiting, seriously i can say that i been to other places other than furiously shopping in bangkok city.

i do want to have another trip to bangkok, but it will be beaches this time.
swim in the water, lying in the sand, watching the sky, feeling the sea breeze.. hmmm..

zzzZZz

Taiwan 1st - 7th Aug

it's been quite a week for me no rest... continuous work and working trip to Brisbane...

here comes my long-waited holiday - Taiwan.

It's been a relaxing and enjoyable trip with mine deer deer, i love taiwan! love the culture/people, the breathe-taking view from "Jiu fen", love the sea view from Dan shui - yu ren ma tou, love the buzzing night market in Shilin, the busing signboard and crowd at si meng ding; the night life in Taiwan is never a moment of bored, be it mine first time to visit Taiwan; see new, hear new and feel new.

Food - though i've not been adventurous enough to taste all the local food at Taiwan night market, there's still memories of the yummy food on my head, the "ru rou fan", "mang guo bing" (shedding ice with mango and fruits topping), the "big big fried cutlet" very cheap price... and "bubble tea" at Taiwan taste freaking good everywhere... hahaa.. i had 1 cup everyday.
*finally know the difference between bo pa na cha and zhen zhu na cha.


I would love to go there again, for work or holiday i wouldn't mind at all. perhaps this time i will explore further up to "Tainan", "Gao xiong", "ken ting" area; armed with the bullet train that takes less than half a day to travel.


p/s: by the time i posted this up, we already broke up... haha.. so i only put my photo.. muahaha

11 March 2006 - Tioman Diving

My Berkelah Trip 2003

.:19th September 2003 11.10pm Kranji Mrt, S'pore :.

My first time to the natural waterfall... (not man-made wor) haha.. so excited!! me packed my 45 plus litre bag full of clothes, water, hammock and FOOD... Meeting the rest 11pm at Kranji Mrt... *hehe*

We aboard the coach at around 11.45pm making our way to Woodland Causeway, got our passport "chop" n headed towards the long journey to kuantan... watching "pirate of the carribean" and "cruel jaw" on the coach... lame show~

.:20th September 2003 6.00am Gurung Berkelah, Kuantan :.

We reached the kopitiam at the foot of berkelah at 6.00am... sianz.. i was about to go to sleep then... It was suggested that we get some drink before we trek uphill... We managed to get a lorry at a price of 5RM per person that drove us all the way to the base camp... song ah~... there was another group with us on the lorry...
We start to trek uphill and we took a rest around half hour time.. and continued our journey.. to everyone surprise, we reached the campsite at 8.30am in the morning... i nearly *faint* most of us thought it would be lunch time when we reached the campsite... i nearly fainted due to the fact that i brought only cup noodle for my dinner.. 2 pear for lunch... *piang*

we play around with the water.. wooo~ it was so cooling n refreshing~ steady ah!@$#%^$% Around 1 plus after we had our lunch some of us decided that we should go and explore the main waterfall (which they say is few storey high!! Cannot Miss ah!!!) We climb up and down crossing a few dangerous n slippery spots... well i was kinda clumsy during the trek.. haha.. tripped n fell few times... but soon i learnt my lesson... taking off my sandal and trek bare-footed, not a very brilliant idea but proven to be more steady... ;D after that my sole grew more "thick-skinned"... :D

Hehe.. we finally reached the main waterfall at around 2 plus... wooh.. the water there was freezing cold... didnt really want to go down due to the strong current i guess... but it was so tempting!! majority of the guys were oredi at the opposite side of the fall... so the rest of the gers followed n swam over at the same time.. hehe.. wrong decision.. the guys got problem getting us out of the water... i gulped down a mouthful of water... hee it wasn't salty, must be spring water from heaven*** water got into my mouth, nose and eye when i was reaching the bank.. ^&%#$%%

Those guys did some diving stunt near the main waterfall..*splash* one by one take turn to jump in the icy cold water... while we decided to head back after some rest, they found a leech on winston's back... *piangz* for fear that there were other 'bloodsucker' around, some of them hid behind the bushes to have their overall body check-up... :)

On our way back... determine to have some more fun at the rest of the small waterfall... mark be the first guinea pig to jump at a few metre high cliff... followed one by one jumping off the cliff.. too bad yenpeng , willy n ramneek couldnt join us in the 'jetty jump'... Well most of us did try at least twice... my jump was a 'painful' experience... hai~ We had lotsa fun on our way back...

Soon the sky start turning cloudy n DARK.. the minute we reached our campsite, raindrops falling... woo.. so cooling! but so afraid that we might catch a cold in our wet clothing... at around 6+ the sky turned better, we cooked our dinner... we had maggi mee, cheese pasta, curry, fried chicken wing and the soup of the day - Scallop + Abalone's friends (bao bei)... well it taste weird but nice lah.. first time i eat such a sumptuous meal on top of the mount... muahahaa.. must thanks those fit alumni... bringing chicken wings + 2 litre of oil all the way up here... and lotsa more.. There's alot of leftover n dishes to wash , so they came up with an idea... "Ultimate Number"- "zong ji mi ma"... We finished up all the chicken wings and left all the messtin to wilson... haha..

nightfall the minute we started to clear up... some of the girls went to wash up in the icy water... there was some pervert there hiding their video cam near the bushes.. dunno wat the h*** they shooting... soon is bathing time for the rest of the guys, they behaved like kids in the water... laughing and splashing away.. haha so cute...

we setup a mini campfire... telling lame joke n story... as the night get darker, most of them went into the warm n cosy tent for rest... well i cant really sleep well outside.. thus a few of us opened up a few canned of cocktail n lychee for supper.. haha... later in the night, we went to catch prawn, i managed to catch 1 toopid prawn...steady bor...the sky at berkelah was full of star.. FULL of.. so STARRY!!! hope i could captured it on camera... too bad...

.:21th September 2003 6.00am Gurung Berkelah, Kuantan :.

The next morning, we woke up and cooked our breakfast... eat eat eat n do some clearing up... pack up our stuff n unpegged our tents... the weather was kinda warm that morning, so the guys took off their shirt n went in to the river for a final dip of the *heavenly* cool water... bo liao till they started playing base ball using the cooking pot.. silly! haha... we had some fun before we trek down hill... hehe... abit "se bu de" of the times we spent at the campsite... haha...

we aboard the coach at around 1pm and head for a suitable chinese restaurant for lunch.. it was around 5plus that we finally found a chinese restaurant... Well i guess all of them were too hungry, we finished up all the rice in the restaurant... the last table didnt managed to have extra serving of rice...poor thing.. haha.. after dinner, some of us when to the nearby shop and bought some ice-cream and TOYs... Yenpeng bought a packet of sour plum.. well should say SALTY plum... well.. that how we started our "sour plum game"

after the meal, we were only a few hour away from singapore... we played the same LAME game "zhong ji mi ma"... poor david and ronald... they ate up almost half packet of the "salty" plum... "suan mei ming" <- (sour plum fate) david more jialat... cos he didnt have any choice... kana sabotage by jeremy...

in next to no time we reached the johore causeway... hai~ the thought of going back singapore...sianz wor... still think camping life better.. so simple but yet full of "rubbish"... :D looking forward to the BBQ session on the 18th Oct.... *Smilez*
