November, November...

All the reasons in the world why he can be such an impact to me!

PS: Current favorite player: Ryan Babel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Last week, [Gemini]Miracle aka Winson Ng Chee Kai came all the way from Perlis to Kuantan to meet up with us, his fellowDOTA friends whom we've been playing all along since the beginning of 2009. Once he made a promise to come but I took his oath lightly, never to expect he would actually come - -





The first day I took him for a walk up the Pelindung Hill as Quek and Jordan tags along. We went back to the place where you can see the whole of Kuantan, but unfortunately the place was marked "No Entry". Who cares, anyway? We hiked all the way up here and then we cannot enter the place?

It was about 1820 when we reached the top of the hill and just in time for the sunset.


IT WAS MARVELOUS.


















Looked like the day Hiroshima got pan-caked during WWII.











Underneath the dark fog lies Kuantan.





My favorite shot of all time.





"Even the day has to give way to the night."






By the time we reached the bottom of the hill, it was about 1925 already. It's so dark, you could hardly see anyone standing infront of you, if there should be one. As we were ascending in total darkness, there's a few elderly peoples going up too. WTF?


Winson stayed here for 5 days and spent a total of RM1,000 during his lengthy endeavors here; mostly on foods. We took him to Saffron's burgers, Sendo No Ya's, TC's Chicken Chop and T&L's fried mee and etc etc. You bet that I can gain weight whenever he's around, but my metabolism isn't as fast as Kuan's though. lol.


We had good jokes and laughter during the short 5 days he'd spent in Kuantan. It is good to finally meet someone in real life when you know them online the first time. At first I thought he was really tall and had gangster-like attitude, but it turns out he's smaller and shorter than I was LOL. Everyone was amazed, but his duck-like voice did not change though. hahaha.









In the picture, from left; Jordan, Winson, me, Wong.
Not in the picture; Kuan as cameraman and Lee at home.



Had one of the most awesome[st] weeks ever in my life, special thanks to those above and everyone else who hung around with. I hope all of you did not regret watching Phobia 2 because it certainly rocked my week especially with you guys.






On Halloween's Night I was asked to go for a party by Yan who is prompted by Syman who is also prompted by his friend I think. Couldn't say anything much except that I made some new friends and the guitar lessons starts to deteriorate now.




I looked so white and pale, even the vampires would be jealous of me. lol.






Check it outttttttttttttttt. Taylor Swift in straights wtf. *stabs eyes and self in awe*

Aruni's 16th birthday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote: About 14 months ago, I once slipped and smashed my head into the solid, tough planks of a cupboard. On the side of my head was a bulge for several weeks... and for the following 6 months, I had severe headaches whenever I tilt my head even when I'm sleeping. The pain was so intense I felt like I wanna puke, I did not seek medical attention because I had no clue what was wrong! Only a few months ago only I realize. Damn.

Could that be the reason why I always forgetting things? lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Happy 16th Birthday, Aruni. Regrettably I was a Malaysian that night though I kept the racist jokes at bay but one. My sincerest apologies though because I did not had dinner with all of you, I wasn't feeling really well.

PS: Below are the pictures I stole from Rainier Villareal. Wahahaha.











This is the first time I see a NORMAL SYMAN in a photo.




Ridhwan: AAAH! THE FLASH!






















"..please don't tell her..."


















I really hate the red-eye effect... and the flashes blinded me.
















I did take a picture of the cake when the candles are lit. I'll send it to you Aruni when I finally upload it to my PC.



I had a good time with the laughters and such, primarily Syman as the subject with his "MMM, I LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK!".





Anyways, yesterday I felt really terrible. It all started when I skipped the trip to Taman Gelora's Dogs' Fest. Then in the afternoon, my friend asked me to play football along with him at Taman Gelora with the seniors. Since I had nothing better to do, I agreed. Shooting and quick-movements are still restricted but I'm improving on the passes.

After that, William fetched me home where I quickly dressed up and Yan came. At that moment my head felt heavy, I thought drinking water could help but instead it gets worst and it makes me wanna puke. I didn't had dinner that night and I didn't finish my slice of cake. Don't get me wrong, it's a really good cake; chocolate & cheese woot. And it was I who chose not to take my dinner, so don't feel bad eh, Aruni.

When I got back, as I was about to go for a long shower, I noticed something missing in my pocket. I took out the keys, the phone but wait, where's my WALLET? Within a blink of an eye, I leaped around the house and in the car, looking through in every nook and cranny but to no avail. I must've dropped at Crocodile Rock, which I did went back after that. I searched inside the place but it's actually dropped outside at the parking yard. I didn't lose anything though someone parked just right beside it lol.

During my quest to find my precious wallet back, I've had flashes of what sort of things would happen had I've lost it.
  • Cash of course, I had over RM350 inside that night; saving it for a particular event.
  • My driving license wtf!
  • My IC -.-
  • A limited edition sticker of Predators' FC from Adidas.
  • But above all, it has to be Jason Mraz's and Lee Hom's concert ticket hahaha. No way I'm going to lose them man. No, not this time. No, not this lifetime.


What is even more intriguing is that earlier this year, when I came to Croc Rock during Chinese New Year. My angpao mysteriously disappeared when I took a trip to the men's room and it was not on the table anymore as I returned. High and low I have searched but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Radiate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote: Should I go for the Dogs' Carnival 5 hours from now? Shit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Most people regard this as a extraordinaire phenomena, but I've seen such events countless of times cause my room is facing the balcony, I look up to the sky most of the time.

Well unless you're not from Kuantan, then allow these pictures to do my explanations.








It's a glowing ring of light formed around the moon. I do not know what is it called but I bet you get the similar sight if you ask a friend of yours to shine a torchlight towards you at a distance during night time.








It is a common sight if the sky is clear when the moon enters the full moon phase. But nevertheless, Mother nature rocks!

Gust.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote:



Namewee in action again.

I admire his bravery and courage yet some people hated him for his rudeness and choice of language but seriously, what he have expressed are the true truths we've kept along.

If your house keep having black-outs, I bet you'll be dulan pissed as well, right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I nearly forgot to blog about the part when me and Kiang went for a stroll around Cherating's beach several weeks ago.











Unlike Teluk Chempedak, it's really clean over there. What surprises me even more is that it's super duper windy.





Waitin' on the world to change.







I love this picture the most, but sadly the angle isn't wide enough. Time to get a new lens?





I had to tip-toe my way close enough to get this snap.




On the surface of the boulders on the beach, lies these tiny little clams? It's enough when you look at it but it's actually alive. They close their shells when you touch them. Yuck.



I bet you Kuantaners must have seen those tiny little crabs living on the beaches on TC right? You know, the ones that burrows into the wet sands and working ever so tediously turning them into balls?



Perfect camouflage.





If you've watched the Pirates Of The Caribbean film, this rock must be familiar to you.





ANYWAYS,



I took another good look at my collection of photos once again earlier and I just found out it's been a well 365 days since I made a vow never to ride the almighty Solero Shot again.







It is also the time when Selak Clan was made and briefly active for some time. Times when we play cards all night long in the room, thus emerged the infamous video.






The whole trip there was great, nothing went wrong and none so did got into our plans but one.






The part when we have to queue up for about 45 minutes for the cable car. It was hot, crowded and some sort of stench severs the air.






Precious time was never wasted, not once. To be honest, I had no idea how did the photo above was taken. It all happened spontaneously. It looks like we're lined up against the wall, blind-folded and ready to be shot. Huh.






The view of morning Sun blazing over the clouds at 7000ft above sea level was majestic. The morning dew forms on the windows as the chilly gusts of wind cuts to the bone, added to the fact that I have 5 other friends snoring behind me prior this photo was taken.















The sheer brute, high-pitched, blind rantings of the Selak Clan intensifies as we sail through the dark tunnels of the Dinosaur Land on a boat. With the elements on our side; a cave to amplify our presence and the darkness for us to remain hidden, we let loose.














Let us all drop the part where I was the main subject for the tormenting teases I've been going through during the entire trip...



To think back then... I'm a person who's really afraid of heights. My legs go weak and my feet turns cold whenever I'm elevated from the ground, whether I'm actually there or if I'm just looking at a photo taken at a really high ground or something like that. But---







I took a ride on that monster that day... and vowed never to return to that wretched piece of machine yet again. I mean come on, I don't even like roller-coasters!





It is without a doubt, inevitably that all good things must come to an end---- so it shall be.

This has to be the best group picture, period. Except for the old lady standing behind... that one is scary. Don't blink your eye.

Contemplations Halted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote: Can you believe it? Even though the Reds has lost the previous four matches, they heroically spanked Manchester United yesterday. With that done, they have won the last 3 meetings with Manchester United in the Premier League. I watched the game with Tze Han, William and Hoe last night at Relax Cafe. I tell you, when Torres nailed the back of the net, I dunno whether I should jumping around the seats and tables infront of my fellow friends who happened to be MU fans or not...


But, celebrate or not; YNWA!

Liverpool FC 2 - 0 Manchester United!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You could say that plenty has happened during the absence of frequent updates lately. For once this time, I assure you that it is not my laziness that's been the culprit of my decreased writings but the immensely annoying distractions that've been tarrying the progress of this blog. Mentally shattered, physically crippled; what more can I ask?

All went well until I severely sprained my ankle by a third person, of which I am lucky that it did not break any bone in my right leg but it will certainly take me 2 more months to fully recover. Speaking of it, I didn't realize it has been a well 50 days since I have last played in a competitive futsal match or any proper sports in that matter. Had my anticipations and actions be wisely done on 09/09/09, none of these would've happen.

The first day was horrible. I couldn't stand, I couldn't lift my right leg. No matter how I position my ankle it would hurt so much it's numbing my whole foot, up to my knee. The physical torment lasted up to about 2 weeks, though I have the crutches to help me walk around, using them hurts my arm pits badly -_- I had blisters below my shoulder after using them to walk around the mall.

To my sodding surprise, what the doctors told me that it WOULD heal in two or three weeks time prior to the night of the injury has turned into seven weeks---- and still recovering.

For the first two weeks, the pain drastically wore off but the swelling didn't go away. I've taken all of my medications yet still it hurts when I massage it. It's like it has stopped recovering after it reaches its peak point--- right now.



If this goes on I think my position in AS Timber FC will only be resumed in 2010. There goes my 2 years of match fitness and trainings I've done, all gone down to dusts.




Then, came the virus attack which have inevitably left me no choice but to reformat my PC, my DSLR camera and my phone. All of them which have been infected via the USB port. But that it doesn't end there, after I've formatted my PC the first time, the virus attacked yet again. I lost my C: Drive. So after formatting for the second time, nothing much happened until 2 weeks later when Jun Hung asked me for my Sudden Attack installation file. So I plugged his pendrive in and gave back to him. Half an hour after that, I can't open my hard disks or enable the task manager. Jun Hung, you owe me a 7-day AK-47 for that. I haven't format it for the 3rd time though, albeit it's been 3 days.


But I'm glad that the despicable acts of my procrastinations could finally come to an end, period. As mentioned in previous posts, I am now under the music school of Yamaha. Though I've only been to their guitar lessons once, I don't know I'm considered I'm under them or not hahaha. Nonetheless, the first lesson was pretty good. Mr Ken, is my instructor. My first task was to show him what I have in hand as I told him before, I've learned from a private guitar teacher for 2 months and the other 3 months was self taught. So far I can only sing and play I'm Yours as it's probably the easiest chord/strum/rhythm/lyric-wise so far. So I did.

Then he laid down 6 important steps he'll be guiding me through in order to get me back on the proper track, which of course, I have forgotten what they are. First of all, he gave me a piece of paper. It has the tabs of all the chords that I will be required to memorize and show him the following Friday. Normally he'll give beginners a total of 4 chords to practice on but at the end they'll only remember how to play one.


"You wanna know why? LAZY."
-- Mr. Ken.




Gee I hope he's not reading my blog lol.


But since I have 5-6 months of guitar playing experience in hand, he offered me 28 chords to memorize on. 25 of them, which I have already knew. The other 3 was G7, E7 and D7. It took me about an hour to get everything together; of which by that time, I was thinking to ask him to speed up everything and start learning guitar notes @@ (Every musicians' nightmare, yes?)
If all goes well, I will attending piano lessons at Yamaha as well during the year end holidays. Given that I, somehow, have an excuse to escape from the vile grips of the National Service, I will be continuing the lessons up until my mom sends my sodding arse to KL to further empower my studies.


Now then, Halloween's Day quickly approaches as we speak. What costume should I be wearing? Hmmmmm...





Maybe if I made this a poster and starts running around with it, people might think I'm some sort of a fried-chicken-hunter.






......Ok, maybe not.
