Bon Odori 2009

The Bon Odori this year is held at the same place as the previous years to commomerate the Ghost Festival for Japan folks. Took my gear, Olympus E-3, 12-60mm and 50-200mm to the event and started shooting some candid shots of some of the best moments that was seen there. The link to the album is at below:

Didn't take too many shots, however below is the slide show of the day shots.

Hot but laid back weekend...

Its a hot weather weekend, with so little rain in average and even night temperature is also high which cause me hard to sleep as well, even in air-cond room. Probably in heat? Hahaha... Anyway, had the chance to had 2 meals of Thai meals this weekend, the first one was at the normal place that we had, where me, Sarah and Amanda went for it since their parents went out. We had the good dishes; tom yum in coconut, fried paku vege, fried sotong and braised pig knuckle and the total cost was about RM77, Sarah paid for the meal, thanks for the meal. Then we drove to Little Korea @ Ampang and bought some nice breads and ice-cream for dessert. Since we are already in Ampang and Amanda never been to Look Out Point, so we decided to drive there and we walked up the Look Out Point to see the night scenery. Actual reason were to help in digestion of the amout of food intake that we had for dinner. The weather was pretty stunning, allowing us to have a good night view of KL/Ampang. The sad part was that i didn't bring my E-3 with me, too bad. Perhaps next week or the following week if i am in town, perhaps...

Next day, Sunday we had Thai for lunch as well. The location is near to Ampang Look Out Point where we went yesterday. Sarah's dad informed that the dishes there are nice and fairly cheap as compared to outside restaurant. So we drove up there (the 4 of us, Sarah, Amanda, uncle and me) as aunty was helping out in the HOSPIS charity sale. the photos of the dishes that we ordered is as below:













Total bill for the food plus with chinese tea + ice is about RM79.50 for 4 person. What do you think? Cheap? I think so, and along with the environment, i would say its fairly new to most KL folks. Took the opportunity to have some shots nearby, below is the slide show of the shots that i have taken, enjoy it!



It was indeed a nice weekend, a slow one as i had minimal time to spend on work related stuff and most of the time was spend on myself. This is something good for me, after the week long of unfinished work. Now, i am just hoping next week i would be able to have my weekend and do not need to travel offshore for rig up as next week would be the weekend for Labour Day, long weekend and my parents would be going for a family outing at PD. Hope i won't be missing it eventually due to work again. Really need to have more balance in life and work. Life is short, need to make the best out of the years that we have...

Arial View of Malacca

Been to Malacca, this is the arial view of it :)

Long Postponed Updates

Sounds familiar to some of you? Probably as the title was plucked from one of my friend's blog that i can recall. It have been some time since i blogged, probably due to my workload which is pressing on me hard. I hardly can find the time for myself or with my loved ones, either i am on call or need to work long hours even its weekend. After completing all the work, i am too dead tired to do anything else interesting or out of extra ordinary. Been living a quite a boring life with work in my mind or way all the time.

One of the time when i have some time off is 2 Saturday back, on the 11 April 2009 whereby myself, Sarah and Kuan Ming headed for a day trip to Melacca. We took off from KL early morning @ 8am and reach Melacca at about 10.30am as i was driving slow. What is the rationale of getting summons to speed to a location whereby the initial plan was to have some fun and have a laid back life. We went there to eat Chicken Rice Ball, Popiah(x2), Coconut Shake, Wan Tan Mee(x3), Nyonya Laska, Barli Lime, Rojak, Fruits Candy Coated with malt, Dim Sum and etc. Too much to express in words for the foods that we have consumes. Bet my girlfriend, Sarah put on few hundred grams for sure :)

We went around Melacca for photo shoot, and below would be the slideshow of the photos taken throughout the trip. Enjoy :-)



Had a great time in Melacca despite coming back dead tired and with sun burned marks on my face due to pro long exposure under the direct sunlight.

Outstanding from year 2008?

Few things were left undone or didn't have the time to complete it before the year 2008 rolled down its curtain. Some of them are as below:

1) Edit most of my photos that was taken during the year and on the trips that i have went or also some events that i attended.

2) Complete the Hong Kong journal that i was looking forward to close by year end.

3) Get a copy of the Mamma Mia soundtrack from Istana Budaya as promised to Sarah, but due to my sudden notice to fly offshore, this has been distrupted.

4) Watch Bedtime Stories at cinema, but due to the packed cinema during holiday seasons and also sudden call to go offshore, this has to be delayed to a later date.

5) Pack up my room to a better state than now... for the preparation for the coming CNY. Bet have to do this when i come back from offshore.

6) Hmm... wall climbing course. Which was promised to Sarah earlier but due to my busy schedule with work; whereby initially i was to work on weekends as well, also to go offshore when needed, so the weekend were not able to cater for this activity yet.

7) Have more time on photography... to improve and sharpen my skills.

8) Send my Jack to 'obedience class' to train him up to be more obidient.

List goes on...

Need to get time to settle those unsettled business asap by the new year...

My thoughts for today

Coming year end, but seems work is picking up, more than what i can imagine. Been alone in office these few days and has been pretty tired as lots to do, yet so little time. From today, there will be another 8 days until going into year 2009. What has been accomplish so far for year 2008? I am still pretty much in the dark of what has happen, looking into 2009 is not too much brighter after all.

Now i am just waiting for Christmas, but before christmas will be attending one musical show, Mamma Mia @ Istana Budaya which happens to be tomorrow. Can't wait to watch this smashhing musical show...
http://www.mamma-mia.com/



Then coming to Christmas, as usual to have Christmas Dinner meal, especially the turkey @ Sarah's place :) Not her cooking, but her mum... Thanks in advanced. What's more for Christmas? Nothing much, as this year is a busy year, as for Christmas day itself, i might need to provide support to PCSB customer as few rigs would be tentatively drilling on that day. Come on, give me a break :( Its Christmas... Santa, i want a worryless Christmas...Can i?

What is after Christmas? I plan to take a day leave on Boxing Day, so that can relax a bit after working for logn long hours for the past week. Been pretty hectic actually, so think this is the best time to recharge and at the same time to prepare for our Penang trip on 27-29 Dec 08. Will be driving up to Penang and look for few friends to seek their help to bring us around, those that i am targetting will be Chin Leng, Khai Chen and also Mei Leng.


After that, then will be new year already. Not sure what is my plan yet, as this year been pretty unplanned and the pretty gals in my team all have teamed up and took leave for this whole week, so it is not that easy for me to take leave. Lets see how it goes, hope all goes well for New Year, 2009. Hope all turns out well for the coming new year and hope all will have a great year ahead despite the economic downturn that affecting globally.

Weekend coming ...

Its already Friday, weekend just around the corner. For me, it will be here in 2.5hrs time. So glad and happy. Wonder why? Cause this weekend, i will be busy preparing for my trip to Hong Kong, a 5D 4N free and easy trip. Hence, been busy preparing the itinary lately, so that to make the fullest out of what time we have there, to ensure NO REGRET!!!

This weekend also would need to start packing my stuff and also to get some winter clothing from my pal (to avoid spending unnecessary money) and make the most out of the shopping trip to HK as well. Still some more home work needs to be done, namely settling down with the itinary, money changing and also the weather forecast which is important... :)

Back to work...

Its Thursday today and its Monday blue for me. Why? Today first day of work for this week. Came to work, tired a bit as i was working out pretty much yesterday. Woke up early, then prepare myself for my wait at the JPJ dept @ Wangsa Maju to renew or pay my soon going to expire driving license. Got such a big number, 812 and the current number is only at 650++, meaning another 100 plus more customer to wait in queue before reaching my turn. Hmm...come to think of it, perhaps need to wait for about 2-3 hours before my turn, but it turn out not. Within 45 min, it was already calling my number already. Most of the numbers have been directed to a fast counter that handles the road tax payment, that's why the number rolled so fast. So happy and i got to rush off by 12 noon. That was indeed good experience for a govt dept yesterday.

Came back home with lunch and the minggle with my computer with the Vista, then went out at about 5 plus to Cheras for a swim for about 30-45 min before calling it done and proceed for shower and dinner. Next would be the tuition that we normally have on Wednesdays. Yeah, efore i forget, i went to Popular to get few books for the kids, spend about RM40 for those books, for the 3 of them as their UPSR is approaching. When pass the books to them, it seems that Angeline is not that happy that we got a different version of the book for them than what we have been using. It makes no sense if we were to buy them the same book again and also that book is no where to be found, perhaps out of stock already. She has been mumbling this and that, so i was rather pissed and told her if she likes to do, she do, else she can just do what she likes. That was the end, from us. What we didnt expect was that Sister Susan, the big boss of the home came rushing in and asked if we have bought them the books and how much it cost as she would like to pay us back as she is not appreciating our effort and the books. I bet she scolded her and she left us early. Detention maybe? Haha... sometimes, she needs to learn it the hard way after all, that not all out there will aid her and be there for her, most of the time we need to be gratitude to those that who cared and sacrifises for a good cause. Perhaps they are too young to know this yet, but lets hope she learns it one fine day.

There goes my day and here i am in office already. Preparing for my work that is yet to come... Well, hope i will have a nice week ahead :)

Some updates

Been some time since i blogged. Perhaps due to my busy schedule also uncertainty that i have now with my work schedule. Also, there seems to be less significant happenings in life, most of the time i would be either working or at home sleeping, probably go out with friend and so on.

Since my last entry, i have been out to my first lonely rig up job. It was partial rig up as 50% of the task has been done by one of my colleague, Kumar. I was there to finish up what was not done the other time. Before i reach there, i was kind of worried of how things would be for the rig up and heard some not so positive comments regarding the rig. It was more to the accomodation not up to the normal standard where heard from his experience that have to sleep in those construction cubicle aka container with attached toilet where the air quality is bad, stuffy and leaking aircond. I was in the impression i would be landing in the same fate as well, that's why i feel so dreadful to be heading there, especially that i would be alone. Upon reaching there, things seems to be for the better. The briefing was good, the Medic on board was friendly. He even helped me to take one of my extra lugguage, so good of him. I even raise a CARD for him, for helping me out. Then i was assigned to the twin room with the Mechanic for Special Project. So it was a small room, but a decent room, with TV (Astro) also, too bad i was always on the work and less time to spend on the TV. My work there was from Friday to Sunday, so means i have to rush and get those things working if i want to get out of the rig on Sunday. Yeah, i was stuck at the helibase for like 6 hours, sigh...take my advice, try not to travel on the Friday, 13th. It is really not that lucky and smooth. Adding on to the stories, while i was there, few incidents happened. One was where the supply boat ramp into the leg, causing tremors for like 5 seconds and bending the supporting leg and also while drilling, discovered H2S which the OIM was asking the RO to prepare to signal everyone to abandon the rig, but luckily that did not happened :) Coming back was not smooth again, as i was at the Kuantan airport since 1pm and waited for like 6 hours until 7 plus night before it departed back to KL. I bought a small portion of Choc Cookies from Famous Amos from the airport for my dad, as his Father's Day gift :) At least i made it back in one piece and on time.

That was on my rig experience, not mentioning details of the whole rig up, i can say that it is not easy to DIY and also to setup everything as i am so new to do the setup and etc. Then i came back, took a day off from work as i was working throughout the weekend to get the system up. Then went to work on Tuesday - Friday (halfday). That is just 3.5 working days. I wanted to take off on Fridya, but due to short of hand, i need to get back to attend the morning meeting and then only i can leave work. Had a long weekend, by going to movies on Friday night with my parents, then Saturday went out shopping with my ex-coll, shopping for the upcoming dinner event @ MidValley and Bangsar retails areas then had filling dinner with family at Kam's Kitchen. Wow, so many dishes that we ordered, all sum up to RM210, but it was a nice dinner all together. Sunday went for a morning swim at the pool, it was sleepy and cold at first but after 5 minutes, i was fully awake. At night, checked that i have the weekend shift for the coming week, so i would have another 3 days of off day to add on top of the existing weekend.

How i spend those 3 extra off days? Most of it to rest myself and also to enjoy myself. I went for bowling, went for movie alone in the afternoon, while waiting for one of my friend to get off work and few other things that i forgot. Sigh, spending weekdays at home while others working, sometimes really makes me feel lonely and stupid. Sigh, but that is my work. So here i am today, sitting in the office early and blogging for the past week. Hope things will be well this week, i would only be working from Thursday to Sunday, in between i will be taking off on Saturday to attend a function which was pre-planned well ahead of time. Don't care about work, need to have work life balance at times.

Hmm... that should be all for now. More updates later, looking forward to Saturday :)

1st Visit to Ampang Lookout Point

16 May 2008 was a Friday, where i need not work as i have been on the weekday shift that week. Sarah and her team would be having their paintball game on this day and schedule to have a dinner treat after that but later it was called off as most of the bosses would not turn up. So it was cancel and later suggestion came for them to visit the Ampang Look Out Point instead. So there we headed for. Quite a number of us turn up, those are; Chee Lung & Slyvia, Chee Wei, Kong Siang, Chin Dy, Soo Beng, Khai Chen, Chin Leng, Richard, Nicholas, Sarah and myself.

We went to one of the spot to have some snack or light supper while sipping our drinks. The view was great, however it could be better if we were to went in to Bread & Olive instead as they have the best spot around. Anyhow, to get a better view of the KLCC, we climb up the observation tower to have a better view and also shot of the KL night scenery. The photos are as the slideshow below. Not too many from myself as i do not own a tripod yet, hence had to rely on Chee Lung's. We left and departed from the location and headed towards Sri Petaling, for a midnight snack - Dim Sum. Too bad Chee Lung and Slyvia was growing tired, hence i send them back first, it was a great outing overall :)

Langkawi : 3D2N / 64hrs

Life or work been busy lately after my return from my short outstation trip to Langkawi. Didnt have the chance to blog about it yet much earlier when i came back to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday late evening.

Journey started on 28 April 2008 in the early morning about 6am from Cheras. Jumped into the car and started the few days journey up north towards Kedah, Kuala Kedah then ferry ride towards Langkawi Island which takes about 1hr 15min from Kuala Kedah to Langkawi Island. Step down in Langkawi at about 1.30pm, then straight head for lunch as we didnt had any food intake for the past 6 hours, other than junk foods throughout the journey.

Got the car, rented the car for RM55/day and drove to the mall for the common meal, which is McDonalds, the most standard meal at anywhere :) After filling our stomach, we went straight to shopping, our favorite :) Mostly is window shopping and then got ourself some liquor, Southern Comfort Reserve for RM 56 and few cans of beer to mix around for the coming 2 nights.

Check-in to the hotel/resort and then straight tothe room. The room was not that clean so called up the Receptionist and ask for change room, but fully booked so nothing much they can do, only able to ask the house keeping to clean up the rooms. At least better than living in a dirty room :)

We didnt went out for Island Hopping or for snorkelling as we have gone through that before, as this time we are looking forward to leisure time rather than hectic time. We prefer to relax around the island, look for good or nice food and drink around :) We were able to achieve that, also the beach side.

Been too busy in work in the normal days in Kuala Lumpur, so a get away is always good for us who live in busy yet stressful city like KL. Well spend the 3 days 2 nights, still dont think it was enough, but good things need to come to an end as always else we would never know how good things/time are if there were not bad time or hard time.

I guess we as normal human beings, always make the similar mistakes where we never apreciate the time that we have and go through each day. Everyday we look forward to the next day, but never took the time to review back those that have passed and enjoy each and every moment that we walk in the journey of our lifetime. I know we will not be the only one to go to some vacation, so does a few of my other friend who will be heading down to beach side to chill out also, but too bad i would not be able to join them there as i will be working. Anyway, just would wish them all the best and enjoy their trip to the fullest, also to enjoy each and every moment that they have together, just the two of them being together and also sharing each moment together.

Didn't have the chance to upload any photos yet as i was working throughout the weekend, so hope i could get some time to upload those photos as soon as possible for viewing :) Do drop by again soon...

P/s: I will be going offshore soon enough, next weekend for a few days there. Hope can find back leisure time between my busy schedule :)

Reunion Day - In the name of Birthday Celebration ~ Kean Joo's

Last Saturday we got the opportunity to gather the few of us up to celebrate Kean Joo's birthday and by then we realize it really have been some time since we met up, probable most of us is having their busy schedule around the corner and also hard to dedicate a specific time to come out and enjoy life together as old time. However, we were able to gather the 7 of us @ Old Town Cafe located along the Loke Yew Road on Saturday (19-04-08) for early dinner, as Winnie and the FT guys need to head over to their activities. Below would be some of the shots that i took :)




It was a great outing and would like to wish Kean Joo, Happy Birthday as his birthday falls on tomorrow :D

RTO Paintball @ Extreme Park

Date: 20 March 2008
Time: 4.30 - 5.30pm
Venue: Sunway, Extreme Park
Price to pay: FULL amount of RM60 + RM24 = RM84/person

Who is up for a Team Building Event? How does Paintball sounds? Great? You are in? Wow, lets all play Paintball as the Q1 of 2008 Team Building Event !!!

Haha, that was what attracted me, not that it is free but just the thought of joining the guys and gals of RTO for a game of Paintball would be of great fun and pleasure to be playing alongside with them. YES, i am in. No way i will not be a part of it. But something came to my mind, noted that according to the company's policy that the team building event is bear by individual and the company only bear the portion for MAKAN and MINUM and most of all, TRANSPORTATION. Hmm... this is new to me, not that i am SHOCKED that the generousy for paying for the food and drinks along with the transportation fees. Perhaps the next time, no one would ever turn up or each one would come out with 1001 reasons to say NO, i can't make it, who and who is sick and who and who is busy or etc.

First time i hear that, guys if you want to build up your team spirit, coz lets go on a Dutch game, i would be on the floor laughing. Call me STUPID, but hell not that a responsibility of the manager or the company to ensure team work as a team and team achieves the goals and not of the case where each team mate is poking each others back side? Weird... Would you agree with me?

Other than the part where we were going Dutch, the game was fun. We get to shoot, not chicken but life stock, life human running around and not just aiming board. We played 3 games all together. First round, after finishing the game of 5-8 min, i was about to puke and short of breath. Why? Perhaps due to i am anxious at the game, the adrenalin and also the facemask is kind of suffocating causing shortness of breath. But luckily i did not collapse as that would be so embarrasing :) Anyhow, we lost the first game as we were not used to the strategy and also placement but at the second and third game, we were good at what we are there for, to play hard and win hard though some of us do suffer so lost where some end up going home with bruises or a 'curry chicken' courtesy of the paintball :)

Great game with the team, and my team won the game by 2-1. Bravo to my teammates and much more can be achieve if we work as a team :) Later we proceed to dinner, where the details of identifying the venue would not be revealed in order not to make someone look bad and not to tell other people how things could go in some unexpected way :P

What a tiring day ...

Yesterday, i gave the few girls of Rumah Sayangan the replacement class that i promised the day before as i was nto able to make it to them as i was too tired and fatique, at the same time having a slight headache also.

Yesterday, i off work earlier as yesterday i was on shift, last day so should off by 4pm. But on that day, i still have to rush to Cyberjaya to Scopetel to pick up the 2 servers that we have placed it there previously. We were a bit late as we (me and Razmi) were having some training with Ee Vern and doing some practical. After the practical, we rush to the Scopetel and then back to office. At first was arranging to have a group dinner, me, Ee Vern and Winnie but lastly called off as Winnie needs to meet up with some designer for some artwork issue. So only left me and Ee Vern to have dinner. We have some chat for some time before i send her back to office while i proceed on to the Rumah Sayangan for tuition.

I was kind of tired, but this is something meaningful, so i took a deep breath and then walked into the house. Only i notice that the other two gals, Cindy and Angeline have followed Susan to Seremban, hence i was only left with Ruby. She played up as she was the only one that had to undergo tutorial and did complain quite some time before i manage to get her to focus a bit to do some of the work that i have prepared.

After one hour plus, i decided to call it a day so i took my way out and back home i went. After giving tuition to her, i felt quite relief and contented as i have the chance to help out those needy. Perhaps i would be going for one of the charity dinner held by the committee of the shelter homes to aid one of the home that just lost one of the founder where they are left without any directions and also lack of aids. I might be going with her to the dinner :)

Better Late Than Never

Kuan Ming has left Malaysia for Australia for his studies on the fifth day of CNY. Was not able to get hold of the photos that were taken during his farewell dinner until now. So here is the photos that was taken. Only several attended as it was kind of a last minute arrangement and also during the CNY celebration. The dinner was at Spring Garden, KLCC.

CNY 2008 - House Visiting

Yesterday was the 10th day of CNY for the year 2008. We decided to have a house to house visit for the group of us as old time friends. In the morning, me and sarah went to the Thien Hou Temple to pray and also to snap a few shots. Then later proceed to Sun Ming @ Tmn Connaught to have lunch, duck rice before meeting up with Winnie and the rest at her house.

As usual, Chin Yong was late and hence we only able to depart from Winnie's house at about 2.30pm, nearing to 3pm. First we went to Kien Yap's house. Her mum was there, lots of chatting. Then later proceed to EeVern's house for a while, later only drove two roads down to reach Kee Hon's house where we start visiting his new house and then start with our mahjong session in his house.

Later we proceed to dinner and then later i send Sarah back to her house before i proceed to Win Khong's house for session 2 of the mahjong. At last we proceed home after about 1am in the morning.

The photos that i took for the whole day is as below:

Today is Valentines Day?

Today, 14 February 2008 would be also called as the Valentines Day, where it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.

Yesterday when i was in Leisure Mall, i saw the flower shop was busy preparing for the night where they would be selling those flowers from yesterday night up to tonight. When i walked along the corridor for the Leisure Mall heading towards the car park, never smelt so much of flower smell before :)

Then when i was travelling back to home yesterday night past midnight, i saw a lot of people were selling those flowers along the Bangsar area. This is the normal tradition every year and seems this year might be a good sales for them.

Then when i turn up for work this morning, i went to the pantry and heard some chit chats here and there. Some were saying "Its Valentines Day, so wear more pretty than usual", some were commenting "I asked my husband what's the plan for this Thursday, all he asked was what so special about Thursday and the conversation ended there" and some were highlighting the differences between man before marriage and after marriage, it was mainly about what the man would do before marriage on Valentines Day and what the man would normally tend to forget after getting married :) With all these chats, i was a little excited to blog it. Haha... Why only Valentines only want to make the day special by going out? How nice if the wife or girl friend would be able to cook for their loved ones, where they can spend some time together, rather than to pre-book for tables weeks before the actual day or lining up for hours for a small table for two or even bad service at restaurant, delayed food serving time and food quality and best of all, over paid food. Does not mean that the female must cook for the male, it always could be the other way round. One of my guy friend, he knows how to cook, much better than his gf, so he does cook for her once in a while, he also cook for us (one bunch of friends) also, especially his crab dish :) Opps, providing too much of information is not good.

As for me, not sure how my Valentines Day going to be, it might be a little special this year :) Might end up giving tuition to some one needy :) More details later :)

Tomorrow is another working day

Today would be the forth day of CNY, tomorrow would be the fifth day. I would be working, along with most of the Chinese community in Malaysia. Seems or felt like this year's CNY celebration is rather short. As for me, i felt that the time past quite very fast and without ever me noticing it, it is already the night of the celebration day. I can still recall the new year's eve where i am busy doing the preparation, now i am going to work the next day. Sigh, time past so fast when we get elder.

Today i was at the farewell dinner for one of my friend, Kuan Ming. He will be traveling to Australia, Brisbane to further his study there for about 1 year to 1.5 years. Got the news that he is leaving for sometime back already, but it was still far away when the news broke, now it would be by tomorrow at about 9.30am, he would be on the plane heading for Australia. So fast, yet so much to say to him. He has been a great friend and always a helpful one when approached. He might have his attitude or his way of reacting to some request or stuff, but he always give his best in everything he does. Will feel the lost then, especially he has been helping me on the new camera that i have got and some of the advice i got from him. Thank you Kuan Ming. Wish you all the best in your studies in Australia and looking forward to see you soon back in Malaysia, either end of this year or early next year. Do keep in touch and take care and i bet i would be able to see you online over there in Australia.

Upon returning to work, i would be attending a 3 days course on Articulus Workshop. I only had a general idea of what Articulus means, looking forward for tomorrow and also this week to end so that i can resume my celebration for CNY. Okay for now, i need to get some sleep and then be fresh for tomorrow. Happy CNY again to all, and may all have a pleasant year of RAT for this year.

 

P/s: Still in the process of getting the dinner photos from Kuan Ming and will publish here soon.

Cameron Highlands Vacation (29-31 Dec 07)

Just came back from rig not long ago, that's why now only had the chance for me to post this blog that i wanted to post while i was at the rig. I did had a wonderful time there, with the great environment, i am referring to the hotel that i was staying, Century Pines Resort. It is a 2 years old plus hotel at the new wing.
