Mundane Day: No Armin!

I was feeling a little mundane recently. Remember i was so so so so eagerly wanted to go and hit the club Muse 2 for Armin Van Buuren and shitty things to happen. It does not comes cheap though at RMB250 for a piece of pre-door entry ticket that does not include drinks.

I practically wrote an email to the ticketing guy and wanted to get an advance ticket but i was unable to get one due to my poor time management. But, i got an advice to get it at the door and it should be of no harm although rather expensive! Ticket at the door should costs me RMB350 a piece.

I make my way to the club, Muse 2 located in the Plaza 66 in Nanjing Xi Lu at around 11++ on Saturday night. To my horror, when i reached that entrance and i was superly astonished that i was people was flocking at the Plaza 66 door entrance rather than the club entrance. I was DOOM.....

Its true. RMB400 for a piece of ticket (after an increase of another RMB50) and people are still rushing in. But the door was closed and was hold up by several guards stopping clubbers to even get to the lift to 5th floor! OMFG! There i was, standing in the cold winter, wishing i have bought the ticket earlier. And i was stucked there without a ticket and feeling stupid.

The club was packed like sardines by 11.45pm on a Saturday night?!?!?!? WTF? Shanghai cub scene is like only starts at 11pm?!?!?!?!? And there i was, feeling helpless standing there for over 30 minutes hoping to be able to slot in between the doors when the crowd disperse.

1am!

The guard is there and so is the crowd.

Fuck! Enough is enough! RMB400 can get me a decent alcohol at Shelter or even other clubs. I can perhaps ride to Muse 1 for some old school hip hop and be able to drink till i vomit for RMB400 bucks. Schlong! Plus the review of the Armin event was like at the tops and super superly nice! He played till 4am, someone said! OMFG! And there i was heading back to hotel at 2.30am feeling suck!

I was disappointed.

I will make up to it. I must go to Sasha at Club JJ2 next month.

Out!

Pissed Off!

I am rather busy at recent times. But, i want to S.C.R.E.A.M. this! I hate China web filtering system!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I can't go to Facebook nor Blogspot anymore!

*only by using web proxy and something else apart from IE (i am using Firefox + Web Proxy)

F.U.C.K.!

Happiness In Thyself

I am rather busy at these recent times. You know the drill. Work, priorities and the lists goes on. I am actually getting less internet times to do all the surfings and postings. Family, work, gym and Romeo. How can someone find 24 hours per day enough for anything?

As the wiseman says, its how you make the sacrifices and right priorities that matters the mosts at the end. Its damn fuckingly extremely true. And i am now officially pasts my 28th years since the day i walk the earth. Time really flies and i have yet to achieve anything that i dreamt of yet.

How that i wish that i have more time and more hours everyday!

p.s: Cheer up to all those who have been down and feeling moody at the recent times. Negativity it seems, that is surrounding all of beings at the moment.

I'll end this with a kiss kiss bang bang: Tomorrow will always be a better day!

Shanghai: DJ events in Nov 08

I am ecstatic! I am dumbfounded! I wanna go! Could you believe it? All of these cramping up in a single month! Holy cow! John Digweed, Armin Van Buuren, Kylie Minogue followed by Sasha!

1st stop at next weekend in Shanghai. Friday night at Sky, John Digweed. John Digweed's music might be more suitable for me, as he plays more of a progressive house music with is better to dance perhaps? Click here for the flyer.

2nd stop at Saturday night in Muse2 (located in Nanjing Xi Lu, in Plaza 66), Armin Van Buuren. Voted the no.1 DJ for 2 years in a row, 2007 and 2008! AVB plays music of a slightly different genre, namely trance. Checkout here for more info.

3rd stop, Kylie performance in Shanghai (Hongkou Stadium) at the end of the month. Not too sure though if i can make it but i believe this event going to be great! Kylie in China? Will her performance at the top of the sky? Check out here for more info.

Last but not least, i missed out on his tour last year in The Wall in Pudong but i am going to compensate this year. Sasha coming again to Shanghai, China. This time around will be during the winter at the beginning of Dec in Club JJ's in Yanan Lu. Have yet to make it to this club though, but i'll sure to be there! Click here for his flyer!

I am so excited now!~ Out!

Trans Siberia Railway

I felt in love. In love and so much passion for this. Thinking about this and the emotions that runs in my veins makes me excited. Look for yourself. Imagine it. Feeling and imagine that you are in it. Spending that 1 month looking through the glass and the small panel of window.

Staring into the night skys on the northern atmosphere. Checking out the endless plains and the greenish hill terrains during the summer skies. Looking to the clear water lakes of the Baikal. Visiting into the real Russia.

YES! I am talking about the Trans Siberia journey. I felt it. It is calling for me. Wonderful it is, being able to imagine and go for this trip. This will be one of the "must-do" before i die thingy!

Check out the picture and the links below. Makes my soft heart melts. *pictures are courtesy of respectable owners*

Imagine the views and the sceneries at the eastern Russia, the "babushka" selling flowers, foods and etc to you, the siberian tiger staring at you, the green grass land and the dry lands of the inner mongols.

Imagine yourself by the edge of the largest fresh water lake in Russia, the Lake Baikal, where endless view in the horizon of flora and fauna in sight. Imagine the fresh water lakes in front of you while you enjoy the freshness of the air that your breath. Look at the view. Breathtaking!

Imagine that you are in Moscow, or simply known as Moskva in Russian, overlooking the Kremlin and the sight of the modern Moscow. Enjoying the russian opera perhaps during the way. Beautiful!

So, anyone interested to join for this breathtaking Trans Siberian journey of a life-time experience?

Ipoh White Coffee

I missed white coffee. Especially Jom Bali or Old Town White Coffee. This morning, i was strucked by an urged to down a nice cup of cold ice white coffee. The nice coffee aroma, the bitter sweet taste, the excellent location at the open air, not too cold but warm at night, with typical chilly wind, served with a nice cigarette, puffing while sipping that cuppa down my throat, passing my tongue invoking all my senses within.

How nice it is! Right now to down that coffee!

Oooooooooooooooi! *wake up, wake up!*

Ei, Ei! What happen?

Oh! Fuck! I am in China. Diao! Sien jor. >_<

I miss my cuppa of White Coffee!

(White Coffee was originated from somewhere in Ipoh, i think, in Malaysia. No! Its not white, rather the process is different from roasting a black coffee by using margarine, hence, white coffee! DING! Smart leh!)


Check out for more information about white coffee (hey! White Coffee so famous la! They have wikipedia entry!) and more specifically IPOH White Coffee!

Personal Financial Consultants

Anyone heard of the term, "Personal Financial Consultant" before? Well, it means differently for different country across the globe. Some work in the bank, some are representative of financial institutions advising clients on their net worth and financial portfolios, some are simple, enough, selling insurance and mutual funds to their clients.

Do you know whats the paylike for those who are interested to become one? Personall, i have been into one of the so-called personal financial consultant shoes before. I was a representative for financial institutions advising clients and prospective customers of their needs and financial plannings.

Do you know?

In Malaysia, an average consultants working in banks makes around RM48,000 a year to RM96,000 a year that include commissions and bonuses during the good times.

In US, New York in particularly, they are making an average of USD131,660/year.

What The Heck?!?!?!?!? OMFG! So huge in the difference! Somemore, we refer ourselves so professionally as consultant. Hahaha! Talk about differences between the nations, economics of scales and difference of pay.

Copied from The Star

New York is the top-paying state for personal financial advisers, with an average salary of $131,660, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics. Colorado followed, paying an average of $119,590, then Massachusetts, with an average pay of $116,170, according to the 2007 occupational employment survey.

Idaho was the lowest-paying state for financial advisers, paying an average of $50,980. West Virginia, North Dakota, Alaska, Nebraska and Kentucky all follow, paying an average below $60,000 a year for the same job.

So, what do you think? Still thinking about it?
