rage

Knowing the fact that I don't actually own a camera or a cameraphone, it dires me everytime to borrow my reluctant friend's Nokia 6680 and Sullivan's Canon Powershot to take pictures around KL and asking them to email them to me. Also, the dial-up internet connection at my aunt's is so slow it would make dribbling semen look like water from a hose nozzel knowing that I can't persuade them to go for broadband. Imagine having to download each file from 1000 kilobytes and above with speeds of only 1.0kb per second! It makes me even more mad knowing that I wouldn't be able to post pictures of my trip to KL tonight owing all to my dial-f*cked-up connection.

Having seen pictures from Aquaria in Pui Wen's blog and found out that Pui Wen was in KL at the same time as me, if I knew, I'd have called her up and visited KL like a tourist should, rather than exploring KL around with friends who've already been to KL for god knows how many times who yawns with boredom by the terms "Monorail" , "LRT" , "KL Sentral", "Times Square" and "KLCC".

Phewh~... It feels better having to express it out in the open regardless of the consequences ahead. I shall no longer look at the past but look forward.

more entries to come.

Priory of Da Vinci, sorta


Having watched two movies at KL (MI:3 and Poseidon), Kuching cinemas will never be the same for me again... NOT! actually both cinemas have more in common than anything, big screens, comfy seats, and stupid arctic-freezing air-conditioning. The only difference is that Kuching doesn't have IMAX hehe.. Watched Da Vinci Code last tuesday with Wei Khee, the conspiracy theories kinda make sense but I guess the down-letting part is that the movie didn't show more grounds and proof as well as explanations to the theories and plot shown in the movie, for example, about the involvement of Isaac Newton as grand master of the Priory of Zion, nor even the Templar Knights with Jerusalem. It would sound more convincing having a few of those questions answered. Owh well, I've learned to have an open mind about everything, including this movie. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Be it roman catholics or christian-activists, square-minds isn't what pioneered the world to evolve, it is the minds of people who think out of the box, embrace differences and possibilities with an open mind to make it possible for us humans to be where we are now. Same thing applies here, simple as that.

my trip to KL

went to KL on the 10th of May and took the morning flight and came back on evening flight yesterday night on the 18th.

KL and Kuching are really worlds apart, the traffic there's like war and the taxi drivers drive like there's no tomorrow (no joke). We stayed at Bukit Bintang within close proximity to BB plaza, Sungai wang plaza, Lot 10, Low Yatt and Times Square. Went to Genting on the 15th, took the skyway cable ride (phew!), watched Poseidon there and had my chance on the theme park especially the Space Shot ride where u're elevated up around 100 meters from ground level and the rest?... Gravity. I tell u, if a pregnant woman were to be allowed on that ride, it'll give a whole new revolutionary meaning for the term "giving birth" and amazingly I could go on for 4 consecutives rides and after that, Space Shot was nothing. Went down to KL on the 17th and flew back on the 18th to Kuching.

The trip was an eye opener for me personally since it's my first flight ever. The people there dress differently and talk differently(if u don't know cantonese, means u pay more, thank God my boss where I work was from Johor and my customers were mostly from West Malaysia) compared to the slow-paced life and the greens in Kuching. As long as u have an open mind and hang on to ur own principle while u're at KL, don't have to worry about negative influences. Overall, I still love Kuching.

More posts to come and pictures soon, courtesy of Jeffrey's N6680 and Sullivan's Canon Powershot.

04.05.06

funny how significant the numbers align eih? I just figured that I just have to at least post an entry in respect to this once in a lifetime alignment and also my own birth date. Alrite alrite, it's my birthday today, no big deal, obviously my blog title reflects everything.

I still remember those days during school years, every night at 11.59pm 3th of May on those previous years where I just had my handphone ready with my thumbs plastered and fully loaded with credit to thank classmates and friends who would message me to convey their birthday wishes. On the contrary, this year same thing, fully loaded credit, plastered thumb, but not a single message, I must admit that it was a lil down-letting with the out-of-the-ordinary feeling of solitude. I guess the only thing that will always be permanently attached to us is time and life does go on whether we like it or not. So what if it was 1:02:03am in the morning at 04.May.06 ? Does 01.02.03.04.05.06 sounds significant to me? Frankly yes, but does it mean anything? I'd just say no.

I'm not posting this entry as some sort of vendetta against anyone, it's just that it makes us wonder sometimes and at least I posted something on my birthday which is an informal custom since 3 years when I first started blogging. Hiaks... :)

On a different note, I'd like to give out a big hellow to my cousins Irene, Rachel, Dennis and Aunt Val from Singapore (if you guys are reading this) who stopped by at my workplace to meet up with me, unfortunately labour day took it's toll on me, customers were swarming in like bees. Hopefully we'll meet up next time aight?

More posts soon hopefully.. Adios!
