Overdue

Its been way past an overdue point for an update on my blog. Sorry bout that. keep holding thing off for too long. Can't wait for my internet line to be put in. Then I can blog when I've got nothing to do at home. nice. Anyway, today I'm going to finish some of the blogs in my drafts so, come back for more updates! Peace!

Invasion KL

Today is the 29th of march 2008 and today is the day I'm going to KL and spend the whole week the with my dear wife. Been planning this trip since 2 months ago. It's been quite some time since I've spend time wth my wife and really looking forward to it.

The part that's even better was my AirAsia flight ticket that was just rm73. It was during the rm0.00 promo in january when i got my return tickets. But the bad part was the fact that the flight was an early morning flight,which is at 9:25am. And the earliest bus from mukah on the same day would usually reach sibu at 9:30 the earliest. That's late. So, my plan was to get a 5:30pm bus from Mukah and spend the night at sibu airport.

At the airport, at first i thought that thy were going to close down n they'd ask me to leave. But good thing i was wrong. An airport police told me that they'd be there till morning and if i wanted to sleep, i could sleep at one of the muslim praying area. So, I'm glad I met up with the police.

Got up at 5 in the morning and I realize that It's been quite some time since I've used airasia to go to kl though. And when i got on the plane,I noticed that its a new plane and all the interiors were remade in leather and they looked really plush n expensive.

It's all brand new...

AirAsia.com

Cool eh? Even got an AirAsia.com engraved into the back of the headrest. Real nice indeed. The bad thing was, during my flight, the pressure in the flight was SO intense that my head was really ready to pop! But instead, I got a headache. Maybe that's 1 of the reason I haven't been using AirAsia for so long.

Everyone was waiting to get out of the plane.

Reached LCCT at roughly 11:30, and after picking up my luggage, went straight outside to catch the 1st skybus to Kl Sentral. Was a little late and the bus was full. So, had to catch the next one. Good thing it's only a 5 minute wait. And then, noticed the the skybus was also new! Got inside and noticed the nice seats and interiors. Very cool indeed.

Brand New Baby!

The even cooler part was the driver. Silent, Friendly and sleepy looking. But he's cool. He's the 1st and only driver that I've ever seen or been on a bus with who drives a big ass bus over a 120KM/h. I don't know if it's because of the fact being that we're in KL and 120 is just the creme of the crop. Just kidding.

Can's see well, But the meter's over a 120KM/h

2 Fast 2 Furious Bus version. Hehe..

Around 1pm, reached KL Central, so I straight away went on and got myself a LRT ticket to Masjid Jamek to get another train to Plaza Rakyat to meet up with my wife. On the train reaching Pasar Seni, I notice some real cool stuff on the walls of the huge drain beside the station. Graffiti arts. Real nice ones too. But the sad thing was, they were being painted over aka removed. It's a real pity because It would be a great place where travelers to see that some Malaysians are real great artists.

Beautiful Arts

Pretty Arts

Prettier Arts

Many More Arts


So after reaching Plaza Rakyat via train, I'd have to say that I's been an interesting trip so far. Seriously cant wait to start the real vacation. But hey, the rest is all history right? Somehow feeling like this might be my longest entry yet. Pictures from this vacation can be found on my multiply site at:

Music Room

It's been nearly half a year now since our Polytech got our whole set of musical instruments and it's only been 2 months since our very own Music Club was formed by Hatta. And on the 15th of this month, which was last 2 weekend, they had their 1st live accoustic performance which was in conjunction with the opening of our Red Wave Week that was organized by the Electrical Engineering Department.

The day before, I had the chance to catch a practice session for 1 of the bands that would be playing. And I just have to say that these guys had real mad musical skills. They were really talented. But sadly I couldn't go and catch their performance on that night. But I know the audience would absolutely love their music.


For now my hope is that these guys would hone their talents and take it a step further and maybe more. And maybe a future plan to upgrade the music room will come sooner than later.

Later.

I Reached And I Conquered

The date was 20th March 2008. Today was the day that I'm going to set out on my wildest dreams and ambition cause ever since the first time I saw it I knew that I just had to conquer it. And counting the days now and it's close to 3 years since that day. And that day was the time that I just had to do it.

Now some of you might wonder what am I talking about and maybe some of you already know and what I'm talking about is actually my 3 years dream of going up our water tower. Well, some might say that I'm crazy, and some might say it's cool. Now just try imagining going half way up the the Eiffel Tower and looking down on the whole of Paris. That's how I imagined it. At the top, able to see the whole of Polytech Mukah and maybe even more! Cool huh?

Niceeee....

At first I've always thought that going up the tower was just a piece of cake and that it had spiral stairs all the way to the top. But, Boy was I wrong. When Mark and I first stepped into the tower's entrance, I was shocked. The ladder was actually something I would normally see in a WWE Ladder Match. And honesly, I was getting ready to turn back and just go. But somehow, some part of me seem to keep calling me 'Chicken' ( maybe it's my male ego or something ), and so, I decided to go for it and climb the damn thing. Surprisingly, Mark joined me as well. And among all the technician that's working here, the only ones that have not been to the top of this tower was Mark, Me and Sucan. And Mark's a little scared of heights. So, It's more like we're motivating each other while going up.

Think Ladder Match and A Longggggggggg way down....

So we climbed. And after the 1st ladder, I was starting to have my doubts and looking down was not helping at all and there were 5 ladders to climb before we reach the top. And from the pain I was starting to feel in my hands that after reaching the top, going down won't be as easy. And as we went on, I was really starting to feel the pain in my hands as they were already getting red. And after reaching the top, I tried to look down and I really can't believe how high up we were. My knees were really shaky when I got off the last ladder.

And finally we reached the top and the exit door was there. And just as soon as we stepped out of the door, the sights were just breathtaking.

I can see everything from here.. Just need and extra Binoculars..

Mark's proof of Authenticity.. He finally got to the top..

Well, as you should know, every good thing must come to an end right? And knowing that we had work to do on that day as well, we had to cut thing short and go back down. It's a real nice view from the top. And going down the WWE Ladders somehow didn't hurt as much anymore knowing that we conquered the water tower. But then, all I could think of was how to stop my knees from buckling so much. Damn.

Time to go down.. 5 sets of ladders..

Maybe next time we'll bungee jump from the top, eh? hehe.. Cheers people!

Mini Me's Wedding

On the 2nd of Febuary 2008, My very good friend, Roderic "Mini Me" Robert, got married. Congrats so very much to ya Bro! You're all grown up now! Hahahaha... This blog would be the collection of pictures that was taken during his reception at St. Joseph's Cathedral and dinner at Asa Jaya Dining Hall at Holiday Inn. At first I got lost about which Asa Jaya was it (I thought it was really at Asa Jaya, Kota Samarahan) since I didn't know that Holiday Inn had an Asa Jaya Dining Hall. Good thing i asked around and checked. Anyway, Unfortunately, There's too much picture to upload here. So, here's a link to my Multiply where I've uploaded the pictures. Enjoy!
