A Walk in Taiwan (I) 《台湾之走》《第一篇》

Hello, I back to blogging and to share wit you all what is up with me during the holidayz.

I just went to Taiwan to join a tour by Reliance (a "reknown" tour agent).

It is a 7 days 6 nights (or less) tour package.

Let's start with Day 1.

We took a 5 hours flight on board MAS Airlines. Damn, can I say the service is so compact. The plane seems like as 60 year old who drinks everyday.
What amazed me was this little thing in front of me that kept me awake for the whole long journey across countless enemy air space.

Surprisingly, this little thing have the latest movie like "Beverly Hills: ChiHuaHua".
p/s: The safety demo was pretty nice.

That evening we arrived at Taipei, the weather was very cold. Around 14C with wind blowing. Similar to what we will have in an air-con room in M'sia.
During the checking at the Immigration, my bro told me that this guy below is a celebrity. I was thinking like, he is a celebrity? Doesn't look like one to me. But my bro insisted he is one of the winners of Astro Star.

This guy in white. He got a few fanz on board according to my bro.

When we were waiting for our luggage, we saw this girl (which i think is awesome) with this little poochie. From what we know, that little fella can snift out any potential danger. I wonder durian is one of it?

And this is our Tour Guide, Ms. Woo Beautiful (吴美女）. She is one humourous woman but still she is a Taiwanese.
This is our tour bus that is harbouring us here and there all the way. It is a not 2 but a 1 and 0.5 decker. Itz amazing on what Taiwanese people can come out with. It seats around 44 ppl.

First stop of the night of Day 1 was the Shan De Hotel (三德酒店). As soon as we touch down n check in, I notice a typical 7-Eleven just beside the hotel. I decide to check it out. As i was damn hungry at that time, i bought some Instant Noodle. I notice a BIG dissimilarity and I mean BIG BIG difference.

Made in Taiwan

Your eyes are looking at the real thing. Those are real prawns, meat, vegetables and whole lot of noodles.

Made In Malaysia...

Haiz....that why this is called Maggi Hot "Cup".

With the Made in Taiwan noodles nicely in my stomach. Day 1 in Taiwan ends with a nice peaceful sleep.

End (I)

A "Lovely" World

After a long period of hybernation, I am back with a poem.
At last, I was driven and inspired by a strong emotion to write this post.

A Lovely World
What a wonderful World,
In fairytales t'was foretold,
Where good guys have gold,
And bad guys get cold.

Thought school life is the same,
T'was the reason i came,
Then, it turn out to be a risky game,
That involve conspiracy and fame.

Being in a family away from home,
All were good but some,
Am an acient insist in present to come,
Unable to let go of its old old dome.

An old man who don't age,
Still want to be on the same page,
Keep on stressing on his rage,
Try to get everyone in his cage.

I was left aside without a price,
Eventhough was given a vice,
Felt more useless than a rice,
Which can be so nice.

A family was felt no more,
With some member's a sore,
Who is the core,
Better make it clear before.

Ask to supervise,
Just give advice,
Try not to play the dice,
Let the new ones melt the ice.

Think not of your importance,
As every division have their own chance,
In the end of the dance,
All the roles are to enhance.

I hereby express myself,
Trying not to be grumpy as an elf,
Hope be taken seriously,
And not simply.

A lovely world indeed,
Twisted from the seed,
Grown to be different,
For the message to be sent.

Hope you enjoy the poem that I was inspired to write here. Thank you.

New Cam on the Block

Just got a new Cam from my Mum. Whee~!!!
Here are some shots that I tested out when I juz got my Cam.

This is the Nasi Lemak for my breakfast. Yum yum~!!
The colour and details is quite good. I didn't even use Macro Mode.

The nightshot mode is quite good also, although i have zoom it and shaky.

Quite nice for the first few times that I tried out. Looking forward to test it out more.

Who is the Angel???

Here is a very logical question that i have found that i would like to share with you all.

Situation:

Once there is an Angel, a Demon and a Human.

The Angel always speaks the truth, the Demon always lies while Human does both from time to time.

A woman in Black Robe says this:" I am not the Angel"
Another woman in Blue Robe says:" I am not the Human"
The last woman in White Robe says:"I am not the Demon"

Then, the question is who are three of them?

Think about it, it is very logical. Nothing to screw your mind up. The answer is as
provided in the comments. Have fun with it.

^Remembering Miri J@zz F3sT '08^

Hmm.....Miri Jazz Fest' A wonderful moment that i will never forget. Things that happen in the event itself and in the rooms with Iqbal n Raymond. They did "something" to me. That was a fun time and also new exposure to me. Thatz why i decide to blog it, to remind myself of the Miri Jazz Festival. Here are some photos that i would like to share. (Credits to Joanne, the lovely lady, May Brain., the stone n cute lady and mirijazzfestival.com) Enjoy....

Here is the Habana Sax from Cuba. They are the coolest group within the Miri Jazz Festival. They are Saxophone Quartets. Ranging from Soprano Sax to Baritone Sax.

That is one of the group that i would like to highlight and see again next year. If you wan to know more of Miri Jazz Festival. Go to http://mirijazzfestival.com

Here are some picz when I and some others are doing the schleppering (I found sth in the Oxford Dictionary about the definition of "schleppers") around the stage. We got the backstage pass....Weee~!!!! Enjoy the pic~!

According to Concise Oxford Dict, we are a stupid person.....WTH~!!! Hahah~!!!

Group photo with one of the Japanese Band Member. Erm....i can assure you that he is more famous than the bunch of guyz wearing black sponsored shirt.

All in all, Miri Jazz Festival is very enjoyable. Nice experience. Will go for the next~!!! U Cum too~!!

[-Curtin Camp-Worth the Time-]

A few dayz ago, i went to tis Curtin Camp. Though as busy as i maybe, i said to myself to be in the camp at all times. With that, i stayed in the camp 24/7 despite having and exam in the coming Mon. Lotz of stuff happened in the camp. Through it, i learn a few words that i would like to share wit you all.

(1) Volunteerism: It means the spirit to volunteer without expecting any return. When i say without any return, it really means that this is a one way thing. You only give with your whole heart and not expecting anything back which includes also appreciation. Appreciation to what you have done is just a by product of volunteerism.

(2) Discipline: It means self control. The ability to command urself to do what is appropriate at the right time. Generally, the Curtin Students is a bit lacking of this element. Much to shown in this camp, both participant and the organizers shows not much of a discipline. Punctuality is one of the example of the discipline issue.

(3) Commitment: It means to put urself fully into it no matter what. What i saw in this camp is that there is no real commitment. Days by days, quite a number of members disappeared into thin air. For the organizing members(including), no 100% is shown. Sad to say, they didn't put effort that they should have into this camp. Only treating this camp like any other camp. Hopefully, more commitment can be seen. Commitments means that when you are in, you are and not going out once in a while.

I think that is what i seen(or some that i forgot) in the Curtin Camp. Although it is a "nice" experience but i look forward to a better camp next time. Hopefully, things will change for the better.

Disclaimer: Some of what i say maybe disturbing but it is only my opinion.

[ - A Good Death - ]

What is death?
Is it a process that everyone has to go through?
Why is death always a negative thing to look at?
Or it has a more meaningful meaning behind it....

Here is a true story to share with you,

Once upon a time, there is this University Student name Orell Gorge. He is the typical type of student that you see in everyday life. At home, he is sort of to say a good son and grandson.

A few months before he went away from home to further his study after high-school, his grandpa got a stroke and was bed-ridden. His grandpa is like another other grandparents who love his grandchildren. Everything changed since the stroke, the living room which his grandpa use to 'hang out' became empty. His grandpa is on the bed most of the time. Days went by, time became so much more obvious for his grandpa. With half paralysed body, there is nothing much grandpa can do than just to look at the same old ceiling everyday.

At first, his grandpa is able to sit on the wheel chair and watch TV. Days turn to a year, his grandpa weakens and can only be on the bed 24 hrs a day. A care taker is being employed to take care of his grandpa 24/7. Every time Orell come back from his studies, he could feel the agony of his grandpa. Imagine yourself, looking at the same ceiling everyday, could not move your right part of your body, could not even converse properly with your children and grandchildren. The feeling of irritation when you cannot get your message over to the other person. It would be like living in a different dimension of the same dimension. Yet, life still goes on.

Orell was in a dance competition and trained hard for it. On the night of the competition, his team lost. But nonetheless, they were having fun and have no regrets about it. After the competition, he got a stunning news from his home town. His grandpa just passed away a few hours after his dance competition. At that moment, he had mixed feelings. Normally, people will cry and get all moody and sad when death is heard. But, Orell felt sad and glad at the same time. He is also doubtful about his feelings.

Then, he come to realized about something. Death is not always a negative thing. Yes, we lost someone we loved so much. If we love someone, we would like that person to be happy. Death is also a happy thing. To him, his grandpa's death means that he(the grandpa) does not have to suffer the agony of staying on the bed any more. The family members does not have to worry about where to get the next care taker any more. Nonetheless, he still misses his grandpa a lot. The absence of his grandpa does touched the softest part of the strong man's heart but he thanked God for bringing his grandpa back to Heaven.

Death does hurt sometimes. But, if death were to affect the living negatively, the dead would not be dying in peace and happiness either. So, when something died (family members, love, feelings..etc). Look at it in a more positive way. Look beyond the tears and grunts. Love someone while he/she is alive and not regretting after the death.

Here is the story that I want to share with you all lar. Hope you get something from it. TQ.
