Umaiya, Sashimi and Family!

I am back! Actually back to China and back to my little desk at work while typing this out. So pretty bored at work. Plus i am working at shift hours now, on Sunday from 8am to 8pm actually, which is not a bad thing as i have 3 days off now weekly. Yipppeeeeeee!!!

Malaysia and KL-home is good! Food food family and friends all good. Feels excellent, more in fact, in terms of food. Nasi lemak at Jom Bali Kopitiam in Tesco Mutiara Damansara, teh tarik ais at 222 JP, char siew rice and chicken rice at Tengkat Tong Shin at KL, mouthfully drooling and devilishly tasty! *hehehe*



But but but, nice food and nice picture must be shared right! Hahahaha. Been to this mouth-drooling sashimi buffet lunch cum brunch recommended from my dearest sister. "Must go this place!", she acclaims. "So cheap!", she added. ~So typical!~ So kiamsiap! Hahahaha.



-Summore, leave halfway before paying to go to armpit hair plucky plucky! *hahahaha* - See her pointing pointing here and there. Maybe she wear that "sleeve" jacket from Mil, to hide something suspicious! Wakakakaka!

But we managed to wallop those sashimi, especially salmon and tuna for me. All habis disapu! Sedap-nye! Wish Millicent is there to enjoy the sashimi with us, served with laughter and dodginess of Mel!

But seriously, this restaurant is definitely worth a try and a visit for their sashimi, freshly served! We enjoyed the meal and have a satisfying superb japanese meal! Nice Nice. Visit them at Damansara Uptown nearby to the new HSBC!




By the way, Romeo has a new nickname now, The Incredible Hulk. Why?!?!?!?!?!?!? Of course la, he is DE ultimate "Charr Tehh" King! Cute and sweet for 1 second and become the furious Hulk transform the next second! Clean the table habis habis! Sweep all the rice and plates to the floor. De Incredible Hulk!

Cute or not!

Hong Kong: Day 2

Continued from the previous post HK Day 1.

Here i am 2nd day in HK waking up particularly earlier since i slept at 5am? Hahahaha. I take that nice clean refreshing bath at Mingle Place Hotel, the hotel that i stayed 2 nights in HK with a pleasant experience. I went out and go to Yau Ma Tei by subway. Rather packed i feel, during the day light.

P.S: Surprisingly and to my shocking, the subway system in HK have service till 12.50am at city center? Basically, its a 24/7 city that never sleeps with commuters, Hongkies and basically everyone sleeps late, very late.

I went to this cinema, Broadway Cinema and catch my Dark Knight! WooooooHoooooo! My 1st experience of watching a movie in Hong Kong. I paid a sum of HKD 50 for midday noon session. The movie itself was fantastic! Plus of course, the overall enjoyment and filling up my stomach with popcorn and coke after a long miss-out session of movies in Shanghai, which is, even more expensive! Hahahaha.

I then went to across the strait to Hong Kong island! I went by subway, which is the cheapest option rather than by cab. Costs me HKD12 to cross the sea! Basically my plan is to get myself to Hong Kong Convention Center and some other places to snap some pictures and photos. Shopping itself is ok but not that important as it is not in my lists of things to do.

Here i am, went out of the wrong subway station, and i got off at Admiralty station, which, i walk to the seaside for some photo taking since i was there. Then, i proceed to Hong Kong Convention Center under the blaring sunlight and sweaty afternoon. Basically, the main thing about the Hong Kong Island is people, buildings, people and buildings. To common people, who loves serenity and nature, please do not go to Hong Kong. You will suffocate and have a major kickass stressful trip to Hong Kong. But, i love it, since that i am a people's person and i like to be in major huge kick ass city. It gives me energy, it drives me and simply loving it!

I hang out for a while at Hong Kong Convention Center before i proceed to walk around the island nearby by foot. I decided to skip the subway and walk myself from the bay to Central, which is 2 to 3 stations away. It is rather far (at least 30 minutes by foot) and got myself exposed to the people and buildings yet again. I did managed to get myself into some small boutiques that sells replicas of t-shirts and pants.

By the time i reach to the bottom of Bank of China, the kick-ass building in Hong Kong, i was drenched in my own sweat, i decided to forgo central district for now and i went back to Temple Street in New Territories. It was around 8pm. I was definitely in short of time.

I got myself walking yet again at the area around Temple Street. I reached this famous street that sells some superly expensive and over price souvenir items for tourists. I snap some photos and got myself out of that street in less than 30 minutes? And i proceed to a char chan teng yet again for a meal of Cantonese fast food. Got my nice little 3 pork dish + salted egg and a yin yong ice!

I was rushing. I rushed back to hotel for a quick nice bath at 10pm. I need to get myself out to Lan Kwai Fong! The famous bar area in Central, Hong Kong Island! LKF is basically the hip and happening night area that features all the most happening major kickass pubs and clubs in Hong Kong.

Got myself there after dressing up and reached there at 11.30pm. The last subway train back to TST is at 12.45am and i have approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to get myself a beer, some liquor and photos snapping. *LKF is a place for expat perhaps? I see mostly expat and a lot of working crowd there!*

I went to Volar Hong Kong and have chilled out drink cum enjoy myself at the bar. I also went to the RACKS Hong Kong. Due to the time that i visited Hong Kong, is on a weekday, the crowd is at minimal but still enough for me to experience that place. The only one place that i did not visited on my trip was Beijing Club in LKF due to private function. Missed out!

I even seen a damn bright yellow Lamborghini parked by the road side next to Beijing Club. Freaking hell! Hongkies are so rich! *Feel like sitting inside the car feeling the steering and pumping the gas!*

I then went off back to TST by subway at 12.45am, reaching there around 1am. I was not satisfied. I decided to check out a club in TST, name Club PP. I look and walk and look around for it. I managed to find this club out at 2.00am and the timing is just nice. To my shock, i found out that there are scores of people queuing up to buy ticket to watch Dark Knight at 3.30am. I found out that there will be another show at 5.30am at Tuesday night? And i mind you, its Tuesday at 3.30am. Hahaha! Suits my lifestyle perfectly.

I went in to this Club PP, which is located next to this cinema and paid a sum of HKD 300 for entrance (i'm a guy and therefore, i have to pay) and got myself a ticket for 2 drinks in the house. Went in and found out that the security was rather strict, which is good, since it is gonna be safer in the club. You do not want to have 1 drunkass taking a sword out from his bag and starts to slash people around in the club, are you? Check them out at www.clubpp.com.hk for more information.

I dance and listens to the pumping of American Hip Hop music and the pumping of the bass all night long. Surprisingly, there are hardly any good dancer around that have the moves, or perhaps i went in at the wrong day! Hahahaha.

I left at 5am and went back to hotel for some much needed rest since i have been awaken for like 20 hours? I was not sleepy nor i was tired. My heart is pumping with energy and adrenaline like a volcano full of hot lava. I am too excited to sleep!

I know that i need to rest because i am going to Macau in the next daylight! WooooooOOOOOooooooHOOOOooooooOOOOO! I know that i am going to another round of sleepless night in Macau with all the casinos and places to visit!

Got myself checkout at 12pm and proceed for a quick lunch around the hotel before taking the subway to Sheung Wan in Hong Kong Island. There lies the jetty ferry to go to Macau in a short 1 hour trip journey to Macau island!

Until then and further reports in Macau, au revoir!

Fitness Advice!

I have been hitting the gym regularly for the last 2 months. The gym itself is nothing to be shout about. Just a decent gym, that has cleanliness and appearance that suits my own requirements. Machines are complete with the basic equipments, resistance machines, free weight area, treadmills, studios, rpm classes, resting area and CLEAN toilets!

More pictures in the upcoming posts, i promise!

I've been reading online since a couple of months back about fitness technique and regime. Fitness plans such as losing weight, burning fats, building muscles, gaining strength and having a better physique. Its a long shot and its a long term dedication for those who really wants it.

Of course, the thing about hitting the gym and exercising itself is more about the journey itself rather than the end-output. There will no end-of-movie ending whereby you get to look like Arnold 20 years ago or Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Its a never ending journey. But i promise you, once you start hitting gym for strength, cardio exercises and aerobics, i can guarantee you, that you will definitely feel better.

You get to look better, which is most important for me. You get to be healthier, your body feel better, you get to detoxify toxins from you body, you get to sweat profusely, you get to know more people who looks healthy and looks good, you get to be a better self and you get to be happier!

:)

There are multiple ways and techiques available all over the internet providing guides and plans to help you achieve your fitness goal. Search it and google it. These sites will help you to achieve that dream six-pack-abs that you always dream off or the mighty biceps when you curl your arms.

I like this statement from Jim. He posted some guides in http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/ and click here for this article. I quote this from him and yeah! it makes perfect sense without the mumbo jumbo and those technical terms that makes me dizzy. Its simple, logical and it make sense.


For more of his advice and guides, go and read it. It make perfect sense. But, of course, it works more for "males species" who wanted to look bigger and muscular.

Well, for females and other individuals who are looking for different sets of goals, of course, the plans are different then. Please consult those expert with relevent expertise before making out your own plans.

I will be sticking to his advice for now and i am going to look good! *give or take a couple of months time!*

Haha!

Lifes To Short To Be Somebody Else

I like a new quote from the movie Step Up 2: The Streets.



"Lifes too short to be somebody else!"

Stay true to yourself! Coz its cool!

p.s: Go catch the movie, Step Up 2: The Street. Its nice and cool!

Precog!

I did not slept well last night. I have a precognition, sort of subconscious dream that i talked to myself. Reflecting on the low level brain activities before i went into deep sleep. I do have these sort of dreams oftenly. But this one is particularly powerful.

I was watching a DVD before i went to bed at midnight. I proceed then to listen to my favourite hard house music for a while before i went to sleep. It was very nice. I am energize by it! Unsurprisingly for me.

My precog is about what i want to do with my life. I have a dream and i know what i wanted to do with my passion in life. I love to be in entertainment business. I crave for these culture. I know i wanted to own some club, cafes, bars and restaurant some day.

The feeling of happiness being able to bring people together for some nice meal, nice drinks and nice cocktails at the bars. Listening to some house, hip hop or jazz music. Bringing some bands and deejays around the world to play at the club. Having a good time together with friends and people. Chilling out. I am energize by these things. Funny but true. Its what i wanted and its what that drives me.

I never get bored by these things. I am passionate about it and thats what i wanted to do.

Its just that during that precog, i asked myself, how far away am i from my dream? Am i still able to achieve my own dream and passion? Some people lives their lifes that way. Fucking cool! Some naysayers might say,"please wake up from your dream!" while some supporters says,"its cool, your dream is, go on! Make it happen!"

I wanted to live it. I am a realist cum idealist. I know that dreams makes me feel alive. Unlike zombies you see everyday walking in their blue white collar suit with their ties walking at 8am shoveling into the doors of MRT or the closing lifts of the office building. They are bored and they are zombies living their lifes routinely boringly everyday. Knowingly they have a dream but gave it up long long time ago in exchange for their time, salary and comfort of life.

Go watch the movie Fight Club. It explains there. They quoted, we are victims and slaves of consumerism. Its true you know. Seeing an average humans being locked up in their own mind and slaves to their daily routines and responsibilities. Its just plainly boring and lifeless. Its death.

I remembered a scene from the movie The Fast and Furious; Tokyo Drift. This guy, Han, points to the crowds of people crossing the road, why are they living their lifes following the rules? They are letting fear lead them.

Its true you know. Seeing all these unconscious people running their daily lifes exchanging their most precious time for money and responsibilities. We are becoming more robotic and zombie every single day of passing in our life.

I need to sit down and reflect and make some drastic change in my life. To my action to achieve my goals and dreams of my life. I wanted to have these things in my life!

To end this, i quote Fight Club, we are trapped in consumerism. We buys IKEA fitting in our apartment. Which, is why, i ended up on the weekend having that Swedish lunch in Shanghai. Eating meatball and their tasty roasted refillable hot coffee!



Out!

Olympic Games in China 2008

Today is AD 2008 August 08. The time was 8pm and 8 minutes. This is the most auspicious date in the lunar calendar. In short, its 08.08.08 08.08 and it is all 8. Meaning fortune! Plenty of fortune!

Today also marks the day of the starts of the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. It is one of the most watched event globally, of course, apart from World Cup, which is also held every 4 year once. The previous Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece in 2004 and the next one will be held in London, Great Britain in 2012.


I watched the 4 hours of the show with great enthusiasm and of course, in hoping to see a great opening ceremony. Like many other opening ceremony of global sporting events, including the World Cup 2006 held in Germany, Asian Games in Doha and the previous Euro Cup this year.

The main venues that are involved in this Olympic Games China are Beijing National Stadium, Beijing Aquatic Center, Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center for sailing events and Hong Kong for equestrian events. The design of the venues are also state of the art and its breathtaking. The national sports center is also named as Birds Nest while the Aquatic Center is known as Ice Cube!









Stars and athletes from all around the world comes to a single point in the world makes my day. I saw Roger Federer representing Swiss, Rafael Nadal in Spain, Fernando Gonzalez in Chile, Kobe Bryant in USA, Yao Ming in China and etc etc. I even saw individuals like George Bush, president of USA and Vladimir Putin, ex president of Russia. Nations such as Israel, Iraq and Palestine coming to represent themselves in Olympics. Simply marvelous!


The opening ceremony itself is out of the world! Its almost god-like show. Sarah Brightman and Liu Huan performing together. Torch bearer flying in the air around the stadium to complete the journey of lighting up the torch that have travelled more than 100,000 km around the globe?



Check out the photos from the opening ceremony (pictures are grabbed from sina.com) The magnificent show of the fireworks around the city and around the stadium, the performance of the drums with LED lights brightening the stadium, the tai chi kung fu show, the rowing of the boat representing the dragon boat festival, the emperor show and other chinese culture!

Enjoy the pictures and let the imagination of grandeur runs wild in your mind. It is simply the best! I love the show! Look at the amount of people involved! Look at the designs and choreography by Zhang Yimou! OMG!

















I love it! Thanks to the Sina.com, that even though i am unable to make it physically to Beijing and experience it, i am able still to feel how the atmosphere feels like from the TV and the pictures taken.

Simply the best!
