Tattoo-ed!

I finally got my tattoo last week! I am feeling ecstatic and freaking delighted! :)




Of course, the tattoo is not fully healed yet and the skin is still feeling off. Although the itchiness and the pain has since subsized last couple of days. My bedsheet and pillow case have the word ROMEO mark as well! Hahaha!

Maybe i should get another 1? :)

Hangzhou & Wuzhen - 2nd Day

Continued from the previous post on the trip to Hangzhou and Wuzhen Day 1, here i am again exploring the beauty of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. Of course, the view, the experience is fantastic not mentioning the food we eat, the water we drink and the clubs we went at night! Hahaha. Fantastic!

On the 2nd day, we went to Lingyin Scenic Park, where this park consists of buddha statues, caves (yet again!), more temples, trees, plants and of course, seas of people (tourists!). OMG! So much people in China la. *Pengsan!*




This is how the tourism industry works in China. With 1.3 billion population of people, the Chinese themselves have enough critical mass of population to boom the tourism industry. Just imagine the chain reaction that goes with it!

I think this applies to our own country, Malaysia as well, if we ourselves do not visit our own cultures and holiday destination within, how do we expect others to?


Accompanied by the craziest wackiest funtastic gang, things can get A LITTLE wild! All the camwhoring, the pictures and the posers makes our days go high! Freaking funtastic! Hahahaha!




We left the caves and holes, temples and peoples approximately at noon. Went for this sucky lunch nearby the Xi Hu Lake in Hangzhou. Of course, to fill our empty stomach, i believe just a little of rice with decent dishes will do it. Too excited liao. Hahaha!

Xi Hu or known as Hangzhou Westlake Pleasure Boat, is simply breathtaking. Superb view and fresh air. Of course, the thing i don't understand about here is the english conversation, ooppss!, chinglish. Pleasure boat? What do they do there? Making pleasure or giving tourist sexual pleasure? *Scratching head la!*






What do you think? I think it is absolutely superbly cool and nice to stay in Hangzhou. For more pictures and views of the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou/Wuzhen and some nice flowery shots, check out my album here.

I think the air of Hangzhou must be very fresh, very very fresh! I solidly recommend those who like nature and relaxation to visit Hangzhou. Its nice~

Of course there are some odd moments everytime in this trip. Posers and camwhorers. Hahaha!



Remember! Do not disturb ok! Very peaceful here, ok! *Even the grass is peaceful!* How not to love Hangzhou! Hahaha!

Sometimes, i do really feel that my buddies and colleagues are SO SO SO that damn funny la! All the disturbance in the office, the noises and the energies are just at the extreme! Definitely NOT suitable for the weak heart!



Such an enjoyable trip! Overall, i think this trip really bring all of us together, enjoying the pure good times! Cheerful, energetic and with all the emotions running through our heart! How not to love all my buddies and colleagues!

Hahaha! :)

Hangzhou & Wuzhen - 1st Day

Updated: After a suggestion / comment that the dick-a-like is hard to see, check out the dick-a-like! Easier to imagine and see what i meant! Hahaha.

Hangzhou is a city of scenery and city of total nature beauty. Plentiful of natures, hills and mountains, caves, flowers and lakes. There are 1 saying in China," Shang you tian tang, xia you su hang." In short, up above there's heaven, down here have Suzhou and Hangzhou. Its a great saying to imply the beauty and the marvelous view of Suzhou and Hangzhou. So much fresh air and fresh water from the mountains and lakes.

Check out for more of this trip in Ians post about this crazy gang and crazy trip! *Look down to get an idea of the crazy people i mentioned*



We went there on the last weekend on April 2008, in our company trip consisting of a crazy 40 odds crazy colleagues. Of course, for a 2 days trip, which the journey itself almost killed us. *My butt is injured due to the excessive sitting on the super duper tight bus* Hahaha!




Wuzhen was our 1st destination on the Saturday morning. Wuzheng is a tourist spot and definitely a kick ass place where those cool people live. Check out this webpage yourself at here. Kick ass website!


Wuzhen is known as a "town of fish, rice and silk"; whereby "those old houses by the river type" is common during those old days. We took almost 3 hours of horrible tiring cramped journey to reach this place and its ALL due to the driver who we named as "the most U-turn driver in China!". We of course just enjoy the pure pleasure of beautiful scenery of those views in Wuzhen.






See the 1st picture, the beautiful river and the old houses by the river. So cool! Of course, the old aunty is actually taking out the silk kinda thing from the pot for demonstration. Cannot imagine that silk is actually from those tiny little cute worm! The trishaws lining up to bring tourists to tour around the area.

Actually, IMHO, Wuzhen is famous and thriving just for the sole single reason. A freaking tourist spot. According to my friend, without the tourists attraction, Wuzhen is as if of a dead town. Not much development and not much economic growth, until they decided to make it a tourist spot, and wala! Overnightly, instant hit and waist gets bigger for its populations!


One thing get surprise me though. The old fire dept in the old old days. Hahaha!






Now tell me, how the HELL are they going to save people and houses! OMG! So teruk la! Hahaha! By the time they finish pumping the water, the fire has already spreaded to the next village.


There are some visitor tourists shop as well, selling ugly bags like these. Who wanna buy them anyway? I think if not even my mom wanna take that piece of crap out to pasar! Hahaha! So mother crapping ugly!



That excludes the colorful type of old umbrella though. So colorful and so traditional. But of course, we have absolutely no idea about the quality though. Doubt it has gone to an ISO nor quality process before. Good enough to cover some drizzling and bird poo though! Hahaha.



We ended out Wuzhen trip around 3pm before proceed to continue our tiredsome journey to Hangzhou. We ended up going to a hole, oppps!, cave nearby to Hangzhou for some cave exploration. Nice little cave to attract tourist, yet again!


IMHO,i wonders, what is the real main attraction to capture the tourist and visitors to these place? Its just rocks and caves right? What is so special about cave? They have supermodels in there? WRONG!




There is a freaking dick-a-like in the cave! Freaking HUGE! OMG! *No wonder people like to "cum" here! Oppps!!* Hahaha.

Seriously. I think this cave business is definitely terrible. No people, not much tourists, not much visitors or perhaps the most are monkeys and squirrels hanging around disturbing people. I do not think i will even considering doing business around a cave. Even the stone is not smiling, so sad!


See See! The rock also not smiling! How to survive doing business here?

Stay tune for day 2 in Hangzhou. Out!

Burger King & Byron Bay Club in Shanghai

Weekend for me was exhausting and mind blowing tiring. As usual, Shanghai a heaven place to shop, wine and dine and club of course. People refer Beijing as city of politics, same as Washington while Shanghai, a city of entertainment, as Los Angeles or New York.

Supposingly i was going to see my cute little Romeo until something happened. But anyway, bad things passed and good things coming. I believe always on tomorrow will be a better day!

Hence since, i went and have my Burger King at Xujiahui. OMG! Superbly delicious. Can you imagine if this ad were to come out in Malaysia, Singapore or Shanghai? I think all the guys will be lining up at Burger King.





Freaking drooling over that super huge whopper burger, large fries, large diet coke and a chocolate sundae. Hahaha. Damn delicious. Imagine the melting drooling nice cheese with that beef patty melting in the mouth savoring every inch of that piece of fat food. Served with that fries, freshing served with tiny pinch of salt dipped over that chilli sauce while gulping over the icey chilled diet coke. Gulp Gulp Gulp! *OMG! Freaking superbly mouth saliva drooling!*


Of course, later at night continuing my pursue to checkout the mp3 player and cellphone namely Hiphone, which i found amusing. China manufactured phone that cannot be found in Shanghai but can be bought from online retailers especially in States, which makes me wonder, is this phone really manufactured in China or somewhere else? *pondering*

Night falls, midnight approaches with the weather still wet and rain still drizzling from the sky, and i was still scratching my head deciding whether to go out. And since i was already in Shanghai, i thereforth decided to make it a shortone.


Went to this place name BRB, which stands for Byron Bay Club nearby Huaihai Xi Lu. Check it out at here. That particular night, they have the invited an international DJ, DJ Helena from Down Under to play at the deck. Must at least conquer all the good clubs in Shanghai, IMHO. My dreams la. Hahahaha.

Anyway, the overall experience is at an average at best due to the lack of effective marketing to create those kinda vibe and energy to attract the crowd. Perhaps on that night itself, David Guetta was playing at Bar Rouge at a cover of RMB200. Super Super Super BIG event! Freaking packed! Further more, MAO the disco as usual, organize PERVERT and another place that everyone seems to hangout these days.

Herewith, i attached some pictures i found from the BRB website. Nice new place that ought to give it a try. At least this place serve drinks that are not that too expensive compare to some other clubs around.





Stay tune for more updates! :)

Pak Lah = A Good Leader, Bad CEO?

I have a small little feeling in me after i read this piece of news from The Star online. I am not being biased. Its just my own thinking and own feeling that i've got after i read that statement. Maybe its been altered and i have no intention to find all the truth all the time. Just little bit of time to think whether it make sense to make statement such as this by our own Prime Minister, the leader of our country. Read on more at here.

I have a feeling that he might not have the necessary ability, necessary thinking, necessary belief to think big enough and act big enough to lift the country to higher level in this age of globalisation. Seriously. Read carefully between the lines.



“Individual investors had also lost their entire life savings when their fund managers failed to deliver,” he added.

He said that such incidents could be avoided here if the nation’s human
capital possessed traits such honesty, trustworthiness and integrity.


What do you see and understand from the statement above? Is it:
a. He is a person who insists characteristics, good moral, good virtue is vitally important in every sense. A very good leader, who insists on the traits such as honesty bla bla bla, IMHO. A good islamic leader who follows vigoriously on every single good virtue in the book.
b. He overlooked the importance of the bigger picture globally. Financial institutions, critical decisions, economic policies, inter-country relationship, trade finance, attractions of countries to other funds investors, financial institutions worldwide and etc bla bla bla, which i think, is even more important than, "individual investors had also lost their entire life savings ....". I notice that he speaks the word "rakyat" more than our previous Dr.M.

No doubt that a good leader need to have BOTH! 110% agree and raised both hands and legs if necessary. But in my opinion, a leader of the country should be more focused on the option B and less focus in promoting the option A.

Realistically speaking, all those who corrupts, i.e. lack of honesty, integrity and trustworthiness have already solid A+ in "corruption" mindset pattern or black mind pattern. How do you teach them to be honest? Its just in their habit to tell lies or accept corruption all the time; consciously or subconsciously. Do you seriously think that cop by the street will not ask for corruption? *C'mon, be a realist!*

The only possible way to influence the trait of honesty is to change. CHANGE of people. Inforce a solid steel law that will punish those who are dishonest. I believe that is the only serious realistic way to change and turn the way of "honesty" around. Rather than to promote and influence those are corrupted for since last 20 years of his life. Pointless.....

Anyway, back to the point, i think Pak Lah is a good man. But i do not think that he have the necessary capability nor mindset to turn things around. Look at our neighbours who flourished. We ought to use the same concept of private / public corporation structure to be implemented in our government so that the government can effectively move if we are seriously thinking about movin forward (if not staying and moving backwards).

Examples of corporations such as Temasek competing globally against Arabic businessmen for a port in UK or our own Genting, competing against other consortium from overseas to bid for a casino in Sentosa Singapore or even our own YTL buying an energy company in UK?

We need a leader who have the same mentality of CEO of a company. A leader who can really make those critical decisions, who looks at the bigger picture, who can attracts investors from abroad to invest and dump their money to the country, who can influence the "rakyat" to have a better attitude in work rather than the poor mak cik who lost her $$$ in the stocks or mutual funds. A leader like Carlos Ghosn from Renault / Nissan or Nandan M. Nilekani from Infosys, India, to lead our country into the future.


What do you think? Make sense?

Non-Malay Should Shutup?

*Update: This article is by a Professor Azmi Sharom, which entirely expresses what is wrong with our government right now back home.*


I have so many things in the back of my head right now and i have so much things that i want to write now. Feels like exploding in the back of my freaking little un'multitasking head. Luckily, blogging is really what i love to do now and i do not mind writing posts and creating photos and snapping pictures while doing research about it in the net. :)

I am feeling dreadful now *Please refer to the title!* Actually feeling fucking pissed off yet can't do anything about it for the reasons of:

1. Nothing much to do with me as i am at overseas working.
2. I did not vote at election this year. (they should at least create online vote la!, 21st century with Cyberjaya wor? Niama, like 1980 technology voting system like that!)
3. All of the above.

But, still fucking hell. Whattafuck is happening to my country man! Disgraceful and back to stone age perhaps?

Referring to the posts and stories we read from "open" blog such as Malaysiakini, Malaysiatoday or Patrick Teoh's Niamah, read on the story about the Kelantan crown prince of my beloved homeland, Malaysia outrageously stupiditily idiotic KNNCCBHKLLCSHB comment and speech! Be prepare to cry and fuck relentlessly at your computer, at your friend, at your neighbour or even at the local mamak store about this fucking comment that he says.

Extracted from Patrick's Niamah *respect that man* post: Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality

I was like whatthefuck! Is he from outer space or something? Has he been to Pluto for the last 2 decades and left his freaking brains there? Or is he the freaking frog who lives in his small little Kelantan palace/mansion/istana that he has no fucking idea what-is-fucking-happening-to-the-fucking-21st-century?

We were like OMG! watthefuck is he blaberring about? No 1 can believe someone can actually say something out like that! "Its like we are citizens of the world, get the fuck back to pluto man!" or "Its like saying that we, men have a dick while you girls have a pussy, so shut up!"

OMG! Now i do seriously fuckingly believe that we, Malaysians, do not wish to come back to Malaysia for this particular fucking reason. What are the reasons, if you were to ask me, these group of expats Malaysians overseas NOT coming back? Hundreds of reasons not to (we were discussing the benefits of working/living overseas ie Australia, Singapore, China, Canada, America and Europe)

These are the reasons:

1. We are respected when we are overseas more than we get at home, particularly more for non-malays.

2. We are paid more and get back more when we are working our ass off overseas, even as a dish-washer at the back lane of a chinese restaurant? Ask around to get better accurate information.

3. We are being treat equally if not better overseas, which reminds me, no differences or WORST when we are back home. 2nd class citizen even in Malaysia? *Ptui*

4. We have much more security and peace of mind when living overseas, less petty crimes such as snatch thief and break-ins (with exception of Guangzhou / Shenzhen)

5. We, Malaysians (Asians), are more hardworking generally, which makes us even more outstanding in working environment. Ask any business owners, if there is a choice to hire a malay or vietnamese, what do you think the answer is?

6. We secure our future by working hard overseas. Our children, our future retirement, our medical benefits is at the power of our palm. Its within our grasp.

7. (add further comment, please!)

Now tell me, why would anyone wanna be back home? With exception of 3F, family, friends and food!

I am seriously feeling devastated when i get to know this piece of crap. What do you do? -_-

Great Invention - Cranes

I worked in a crane industy dealing with various cranes ranging from tower cranes, mobile cranes and crawler cranes. Well, whats the difference anyway? Some might says, well its the same, as long as it can lift things like a crane. No doubt! But of course, different cranes with different purposes and different applications.



Without cranes, super wonders that we see in the world today will not exist. Just imagine the difficulty of constructing Petronas Twin Tower without tower cranes, lifting weights and steel bars up to the sky at 44 storeys high! *pengsan / faint!* Imagine Golden Gate Bridge in San Franciso, United States without cranes during the construction period. OMG! Those labors and builder will then have to carry steel bars behind their back across the river?


Eiffel Tower in the ever romantic city, Paris or The Great Pyramid Giza in Eygpt? Even in those ancient times, cranes are used in construction, but of course in a different form without the technological advancement. Still the fundamental of cranes are there. Using lever or other form of leverage to lift weights. Talk about the wonder of man's inventions.


You will be astonished with all these huge giant machines everywhere else in the world. Look at Middle east building the next super structures or the next 7 star hotel, Australia constructing so much buildings to accomodate the super growth of their real estate market, Singapore building the 2 next super awesome casino or China building the next super power plant or super huge freaking building. All those big huge machines are working there non-stop lifting weights to construct another super building or super structure.


Back to the point, there are various kinds of cranes today. Of course, we might not be seeing so much in our small little Malaysia.
This actually proves that our economy is below par with other countries. Less construction, low growth la! Simple maths! Someone once told me, ages ago Taiwanese do actually look up to us Malaysia as an example of country of independence and excellence. Look at them today. *Sigh* We are as of today slower then them by 30 years? Nowadays Malaysia can only compare to countries from Africa to salvage with whatever pride that we have left! -_-
Basically these are the breakdown of the cranes (in layman idiotic terms).

Mobile cranes are those we see on the road everyday. Those with big arse kicking wheels, yellow in color and use for lifting weights with mobility. Those cranes such as Tadano or Grove. Breakdown to a few specific types such as all terrain, truck mounted and rough terrain cranes. Kick ass cranes!



Crawler cranes are basically those cranes with crawlers la! Those tank type of cranes, with metal pads to move instead of wheels. These machines are frequently used at sites that are not accessible by mobile cranes. They are huge machines that can lift up to a 1000 tonnes. Just imagine the hook itself is taller than me *i'm 6 feet, btw* Kick ass big machines.


Tower cranes are those you see at tall buildings. They are stagnant, grows vertically as the building grows and they lift weights from the ground to the top of building. As long as you see buildings are under construction, they are there. They are tall and handsome. They are those machines that look sleek and elegent growing taller than the building itself. Cool!



Ain't crane one of man's greatest invention? That is about people in general, they care about the results. People awed at the beautiness and the perfectionness of every curves of Eiffel Tower. Considering on the amount of effort, labourers, deaths and accidents that happened, no doubt about the outcome and the result of it. Crane will be our faithful one of the greatest man's invention of all time.

Just like a French saying, " Growing old with elegance! Just like Potain cranes!"

Further updates on next post!

China's iPhone

OMG! China has a reputation of being one of the world's best product imitators and cloners. They imitate cars, technological stuffs and etc that makes people awed. My jaw dropped at the quality of the exterior finishing of the products. Seriously!

For the last couple of weeks, i've been rolling and thinking about getting a new cellphone that comes with a superb camera. The reason behind this is due to my nature and my character. I love to snap and camwhore things, especially for blogging purposes. I snap pictures and photos of food, drinks, events, peoples bla bla bla. The photos reminds me of the good and great time that i have and all the crazy little experiences i've gone through. Fantastic!

I've been browsing online to check out some cellphones and to my shock mind, i found HIPHONE, the ultimate iPhone clone made in China that is 99% identical to the Apple's. Its nice and is has more function that the originals. Its cheaper and what the heck! It can even fit 2 sim card as well! Talk about imitation with innovation. Value added technology, IMHO.


But of course, the quality might not be the same. Nor the LCD might last for 2 years before it fades in color? Never knows. But of course again, by that time, we can look for another phone again, ain't we?




Check out the pictures. Freaking fantastically clone la! OMG! * i am as of now very very undecided whether to go ahead and get my viewty or this cheaper version of hiphone! * From the specifications and the review i gather from various sites, these are some of the details:

1. The HiPhone can store 2 simcards; although can only use 1 card only at a time.

2. They comes together with 2 batteries together, due to listening Mp3, snapping photos and playing with the phone non-stop?

3. Touch screen LCD, exactly same as iPhone with the slide to unlock function. Comes together with a stylus!

4. 2mpixel camera, VGA camera, for my snapping pleasure purposes.

5. mp4/mp3 player with 3d and equalizer settings for superb audio experience.

6. 3.5" screen with colorful icons. The freaking screen turns according to horizontal and vertical, as per iPhone, with extra enhancement of shake left for previous pictures or previous mp3!

7. Of course, cheaper la! and no need for itunes, just a simple usb connection for drop and play!


Whattayathink? I might get 1 for my own la!

Hahaha.
