Christmas Eve

Snowing in Las Vegas

Few moments ago, I saw few photos on snowing in Las Vegas. That's cool, I thought. Search results in yahoo shows that those pictures are nth fake. Then I was like.."wtf".Frankly, I always dream that I could be in Las Vegas for a long stay. It seems that they don't really have to work but having fun, gambling with professional gamblers, dining with the rich but high crime rate( too much influence of CSI:Las Vegas, XD).Talking bout' snowing in a desert, it's nothing new. Las Vegas encountered several snowstorm in the past and the current one is the eighth disastrous in the history where some parts of the city is covered by 2 inch of snow blanket. The scenery is spectacular. The last time I played with snow is again at Genting Snowhouse. T.T However, I did experienced the real snow before and very 'syok' I would say coz as you know la, M'sia summer all year long and the only place you can find snow-like stuff is Genting or inside your fridge. Also, on my other perspective, the earth is getting sicker. Climate change due to whose fault? Bukit Antarabangsa landslide incident due to whose fault? Go green okay? The earth will love you more.

I have no idea who these girls are. Lights shone through the piramid.

红盒子与青箱子

那天红盒子在<那.公园>里的开幕了。我也出席了。好友音乐会有他们。其实已经过了好一段时间了，只是没什么故事可说，在犹豫开贴的必要。后来，拿到了照片就跟大家分享下分享咯。公司大手笔请他们回来唱一两首歌，有时心想当艺人蛮好赚的。那位王子要回家背熟自己的歌词哦，你那天表现很差。我渐渐开始有把我的部落格当相簿用。哈哈...
.
邀请贴.可是也用不因为里面没有署名。难不成还要我自己写咩？呼呼 :(所以那天去到哪里也只能站在VIP 招待席外.


那天在十分“烂”演唱会现场做卡拉车。high到差一点把卡车翻了。咔啦全家幅~

Go-Kart

Feeling thrill to know the opening of first indoor go kart at velocity, Kuching. It's nth new to Malaysians I suppose and we usually refer it as Karting motorsport. Here in Malaysia, I see numerous karting circuits[Sepang International Karting Circuit, University Utara Malaysia Karting Track, Langkawi International Karting Circuit and Sunway Extreme Park Circuit]. My experience in go-kart? At Genting lo, queueing up long long way then end up with a bathing cap. From what I know, it's Rm 24 for 10minutes race on the track. Honestly, I know very little bout karting until I do some research through the internet and amazed that malaysia have quite a number of karting fans where there are magazines on karting, forums(kartingmalaysia.com) and websites(www.ekartingnews.com, www.kartingasia.com) about it. Cool? Now, who wants to go karting at sunway let me know ya! Lolz..

Star Live Concert

It rained 3.30pm yesterday.The blustery rain caught us in it and flooding Padang Timur. That night, I sacrificed my shoes walking into the so-called VIP zone. Well, I was expecting VIP zone to be classy. I mean at least I have a seat.Conversely, the VIP zone seems to accomodate tons of people on a muddy field. On the other side of the railing, is VVIP zone with seats for everyone with cemented floor! Huhu~ T.T .However, in return of sacrificing my shoes, I got to see Fan Wei Chi(范玮琪）、JJ Lin（林俊杰）、Wakin（周华健）、Janice(卫兰)、Jam Hsiao（萧敬腾）、Y2J（神木与瞳）、Vincy(泳儿) and others. I think towards the end everybody start sinking into the mud. Fortunely, I managed to cabut before the rain poured again.




Vincy and her fans made her a huge balloon[ V ].

Her voice did appeals to me. OMG! I'm in love with her@@

That's my sacrificed shoes.I think I should get a new pairs.Huhu~

Somebody left me with this pile of tickets during the concert.Anybody wants it? Maybe you can use it for next year.

我们。努力过的日子~

看似缤纷的花朵，背后也许历经岁月的摧残但最终还是没有辜负众望实现了美丽承诺。（哇，突然觉得华文进步了！呵呵~）那天，结束时有太多人的拥抱让我有太多的感触、哪怕是辛苦的、快乐的，我相信都是最值得回忆的因为我们努力过。3号晚，手套表演很荒、队员有点落魄。Edward还告诉Winson :“今晚就让他们去，我不想有压力影响他们，我保证….”那晚练了很久才离去。隔天的表演，有人看了眼泪都快要掉出来了。 英文与马来台的表演，掌声似雷声般噼里啪啦震破耳朵。也许很多人不懂，他们在后台也抱在一起哭了、不是因为做不好、而是被自己和大家的努力而感动。另个曾经被劝放弃的敲击与舞蹈表演，我只能用“一流”这两个字形容。从0开始的努力学习到验收，每天重复练习倒深夜, 我想大家应该不容易忘记这掉些日子。要感谢的人太多太多了！谢谢你们让我有机会协助筹办活动。谢谢很多默默帮助我们的朋友。那天，你做jingle至凌晨才回家（SiYing）；那天，你不忘我交代的每一件事，很有责任感的得把每一件事完成(LIKWEI)；那些日子，你不断问我们有些什么可以帮得上忙的吗（阿爆+ 一加一+ Tracy），这些我都看到了。还有奋不顾身，考试都来帮忙的Junior，Zest 和我不瘦。日本人的精神甚至胜过很多筹委会。接下来要一口气谢完所有的人：Winson, Peggy, 振伟，Jason, Jon, 凯杰, 白饭，Apple，阿萧（默默型），小松，小颖 ，鸡蛋等（抱歉如果我忘了你）。还有最重要是我的MC 们付出了很多的努力与牺牲：大头、Elyn、Jason、Fatin、Zalim、Miri。超爱你们的好不好~一辈子不会忘记的一刻。

原色日本料理。私は日本料理を食べに行きたいです

It's always Sushi King when we talk 'bout sushi on conveyor belt. However, I think some others shop might be taking over sushi king in the future. As the matter of facts, Klang Valley is crowded with Sushi King, man.Every few steps another Sushi King. Lolz

Sakae Sushi is undeniably my favorite. Currently I'm working hard to accumulate Rm 500 to redeem the Sakae Sushi Card. Soft crab sushi is a MUST order dishes.

Went to Zanmai Sushi last Sunway with Ahpinko/Xiao Ying/ Ah Bao and happened to meet Asimo. They also have outlets in The Gardens and Sunway Piramid. Give it a try if you want to have something new. I think they have the largest dining menu in M'sia. A table of four won't be able to fit in more than 2 menus( an idea of how huge the menus are).

本月好康- 潘裕文

本月要跟大家推荐的是这位不用多加介绍的星光一班王子，潘裕文。自从有了他的最
新EP就一直播他的歌，且百听不厌。虽然专辑没有收录太多的歌曲（4 首并以夏雨诗为主打），用心去听还是能体会歌曲其中的意境。与其他星光帮成员不同的是，潘裕文并没有赶在毕业后那黄金时期发片。反之，经历一年艰辛的培训再出发。正所谓慢工熬出好音乐，今天的他以更成熟的歌唱技巧感染大家，唱出属于大家的情歌。除了夏雨诗，我也要诚意推荐《老夫老妻》。好，让我们期待他的第一张完整专辑吧!



另外，我要感谢菲比和贾声，因为刚从他们手中赢得林志炫《绝对收藏》精选辑。哈哈！菲比竟然还说我跟林志炫有几分神似。有吗？

The Men in Seat Sixty-One

I think most of us are generally in agreement that life is short and that's why people always feel the need to try something different in life. Lately, some friends of mine choose to backpack in Taiwan to kick-start their early 20’s. Cool? Yeah, I do think that our lives need thrill and maybe extreme on occasion. Should you be on a tight budget, backpack is definitely sth you're looking for. Imagine you can literally leave your work or study and get away from all of it backpacking all the way from London to Singapore. But how? Hehe! Few days ago, I came across this website- http://www.seat61.com/Trans-Siberian.htm. Before setting out, one must do research and study in details of the destinations. Only then, one will be able to spend the least, enjoy the most. The men in seat sixty-one(he picks seat sixty-one of the train wherever he travels) tells you how to plan a journey across Euro-Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway, which I suppose will be the longest ride. You might have flat ass upon arrival! The webpage has his account of his journey and telling you noteworthy places along the journey. I always want to try backpacking cause I think it will undeniably different from 5 star luxurious vacations i used to have.Anyone of you want to backpack? Register yourself here. Sometimes in recent, we shall go backpack!

一万八千里以外的事- 美国总统选举

好，还是手痒闲着想写写。哈哈！今天要讨论下关于发生在一万八千里以外的美国总统选举。倒数5 天，11月4日（星期二），全球人类将见证美国新任总统的诞生并且还有可能会出现美国有史以来第一位的黑人总统。有跟进新闻的朋友相信你们都懂2008年度美国总统选举的热门候选人有在民调中遥遥领先的民主党候选人奥巴马(Barack Obama) 和自称会为美国人带来财富的共和党候选人麦凯恩（John McCain)。最惨得是，很多人都不懂其实参选这届总统选举的何止他们两人，还有其他12组人马：Ralph Nader、Bob Barr 、Dr. Charles O Baldwin、 Cynthia McKinney 、Alan Keyes 、Gloria La Riva等。哇！报章头条每天不是经融风暴就是那两条水的新闻，都不懂还有没有剩下的版面给其他的侯选人打下广告。有够寒酸！顺便提下，Cynthia McKinney 是第一位黑人女性总统候选人。个人意见：蛮好奇为什么他们明知有两位实力派的候选人会上阵还是要参选、斗又不过他们俩斗。呵呵~人家可是花几千万美金买下电视台的黄金时段为自己拉票、万贯家财。单是这点其他候选人就输了。比下整体包装。他们和搭档（副总统候选人）是在众多候选人中最靓仔靓女的了。第二点又输了。还有他们那好莱坞明星般的待遇，连放个屁都会被媒体大肆报道。各报社好像一天没他们的新闻，那天的报纸就不会卖。神了！其他候选人咧？媒体绝缘体酱。要在网络找他们的消息还要花几下功夫。又输了~汗！拭目以待美国第56任总统吧！在这里我也要做个小小的民意调查。请在left side bar投下你认为谁最有可能出任下届总统的候选人。这几张是其中一些“其他”的候选人照片。

Re-Branding of Jalan Alor

Tussle with name-change, Jln Alor's renaming controversy has became one of the stories that international media picked up on.The story was once top 10 most popular read stories of The Straits Times online, Singapore, and had it being posted on famous search engine news site such as MSN, Yahoo and Google.source: The Star N20, Nation by Loong Meng Yee I think we should all be thankful that media were highlighting this matter. Seeing how people speak up against it, I think probably the city council might be heading the wrong way in re-branding the street into some kind of internationally known tourism spot. (A little bit information bout this Jln Alor if you are reading this & you don't know where & what it is about)It's a street where you can find most of the famous Malaysian delicacies. Okay, I have been to this place a couple of times when I'm around in the area. To be franked, I don't find the food there amazed me or perhaps I should say it is just nice for the sake of attracting tourists from elsewhere. Imaging if Orchard Road in Singapore were to change it's name to something like Jalan Kejora. Wahaha, the first thing I'll do is laugh like hell. It sounds nothing international! I mean if they were to rename, come on la, you can always come out with sth like Atylor Street or Starhill Street which sounds alot more classy and globally accepted. How would a British bother to remember a street name in a language that is so not familiar with him. Or maybe City Council should rescinds her earlier decision, Jln Alor remains Jln Alor as it have been famous landmark for food seeking tourists over the years. Such act may confuse them. Did you ever come accross sth like Oxford University or XiMengTing,Taiwan changing name? My god, it will be disastrous I tell you. I suggest the council should look into problem like how to keep the street clean and maybe they can think about upgrading the look of the street?

台湾人的世界地图[晕]

今天特别兴奋, 因为考试期刚过.紧张的气氛没了;假期的心情来了. 我平时爱逛佳礼中文论坛, 有事没事会去灌下水增加积分.现在多了一项, 写网志. 哈~ 逛佳礼偶尔还会发现很多代子(大事):废的, 好笑的, 无聊的, 有趣的, 蛋白质的, 要什么有什么! 刚看到了一个,还蛮好笑的. 版主认识一位台湾朋友还是网友之类的, 然后他朋友告诉他, 他不懂马来西亚究竟在那个洞. 之后就传载这个台湾地图.看了你就明白作莫他不懂马来西亚在那里. 我想他也应该不是很了解新加坡在哪儿.
感觉图片不是很清楚.不清楚就点图看大图.

本月好康- Taylor Swift

要和大家分享下我最近引起我注意的她，Taylor Swift，走的是美国乡村式加一点点的摇滚风。频频入围各个音乐奖项的她今年才19。瓦赛，又是一个像雷哈纳酱的才女。当然她也得了不少肯定像是之前有看见她出席那个MTV Music Award 2008. 2006 年发行她的第一张个人单曲" Tim Mcgraw" 就卖个不错的成绩。 然后呢, 更不用说的是她有很多歌都有排行在各大排行榜的前十名。最近她又有新动向了。 11月11号, "Fearless" 第二张专辑的发行。首波主打-Change。专辑还收录了获得艾美尔奖的美国连续剧Grey's Anatomy 的插曲-White Horse。我本身是推荐这首love story。很好听。回帖请评几颗星（最高5颗）。谢了。
金发咧。开玩笑...我刚去雅虎找这照片时，哪里有注明一些版权的东西。算啦。Acknowledge 下给他爽。Picture Source: http://taylorswift.com/



最近很喜欢这首歌。总之很有feel 就对了。喜欢歌曲的节奏，她的唱腔。

One TJ

There's a whole bunch of stuff going on in the region.To name one of it, upcoming One TJ Mall, largest mall congregating ICT retailers under one roof. Wow, that sounds big huh..I would say that beginning are always essential. The rising of this mall is definitely hitting the milestone of its kind. Why is that so bothering me? Ok, frankly, I am thrill if it. I suppose it'll be exactly like Lowyat having price war.That's when people get to grab cheap stuff. Yeay~My com at home is like hundred thousand years outdated and I guess it's time for me to buy a new one. The not so interesting part is there's no significant store in the tenant list released. All those are "champalang" tenants of which you might never heard of it. Ahaha~Make it clear here.The not "champalang" tenants maybe store like blue cube, concept store of sony, nokia and bla bla or maybe it's because we have those store in other malls? I don't know.
It's doesn't looks big to me.Is this side door or what?
Opening: 22 November 2008
Location: New KIA- Stutong Link Road. Near Esco Ville, Woodlands,Centurion and Height Drives.(Description I found coz I don't know the exact place and I suppose near my house coz I'm somewhere in Woodlands).

From what I know, people usually likes to go to new toilet on the first day.So avoid 22 November for human traffic.Maybe I'll go someday after that before I get back to Selangor to get of pictures of inside.
