After walking under the blazing sun, the sun begin to set. At this moment, we are heading to Wat Po. Under the guide of Bob as we call it since neither 3 of us can remember his name.

Took some pictures at Wat Po. Most of the Wat has been closed temporarily as they are preparing to embrace the Songkran festival the next day.

Until we get tired and wanted to go back to the hotel. Having plan to go to Cabbage and Condoms, it was best in mind that we take some rest before heading out again. So, we told the guide that we need to go back to the hotel at 5pm irregardless.

Further added that we are no intention to buy any gems or stones or whatever shit they wanted to bring us to scam. So while at the place, I took few of the shoots before going back to the hotel.

We reached office after we stop by the McDonald’s for snack. A light snack. Yeah right~
More later about the C&C which excites Wingz. Do not ask me why. I guess he was kind of horny as well. LOL-ed. Bear in mind that it was the first night and we kind of exhausted ourselves.

Farrah Fawcett

Michael Jackson

However, the latter seems to garner enough attention rather than the former. Guess somebody just know how to choose the right timing for attention !

The former had cancer. The latter had cardiac attacks.

Skipping that apart, it has been a hell of ride in the last few weeks. Truly, one of it involving a mishap back in end of May this year.

Well, shit happens. At least when you least expect it.

Action packed weekend with

1. MAS “Let’s Go Now” Workshop
details here

2. Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009
Nope. Not me participating. Just be there to help out taking some shots.

Once again, you are taking the runaway carts Going over to the place where your heart were kept. Unknowningly the peril of the journey. A knight in his blue armor. As blue as the skies above and within.

However before you venture to the dragon lair where the princess is kept guarded by two headed dragons, you need to find the required items to win this battle between good and evil. Just like the typical adventure story you the young hero shall take the trails of despair and demented.

Little miss travel going against the odd the journey seems to be easy. Not crowded but yet still the agony of time slowly slipped by. You notice how each walks if life reacted amongst themselves. Stuck underneath among the filthy grethens you hold on to but the only thing you had from the princess. You begins to look for the magical item she once gave you. Lyke Li Lyke Li it sounded. Suddenly these creatures do not seems scary after all.

You continue with it along the way the tunnel brings you to. You were surprise to see the bright side of the world at the end of the tunnel. You glanced back from the place you embark on this journey quest. One can not but to look back at the serenity if the comfort zone this once young padawan has been brought up.

You realized you once here been before. On a different quest of course. At these junctions you try to feel the difficult time your princess had undergo. It was nothing but her dark times. You can not even comprehend how could she ended in the same tunnel to avoid being caught by the devilish of the society so called the civilization. From the talks you realized how tough her times were for that few difficult months.

So the quest can wait said the young one. You need to rejuvenate and yourself amidst the concrete castle. It seems deserted but full of temptation. Of the lovely dark angels and those alike. Replenished you feel with the fountain of youth. It is enscripted with the Greek words. Stellarbuck with the fine lady above the fountain. Like she was watching over the fountain. You tasted the water mixed with beans. Dark black bean roasted. Along the lines you tasted hot chocolate blended in the dark beans.

Once you are done and ready for what coming ahead of you but it was too late. You are kept in the dark as the sun is setting. There is nothing much can be done but to rest for a night. To continue the journey when the sun rises.

As you resting, you are unable to stop wondering how is your princess doing. Being imprisoned at the rainbow curve high above 216 high. (editor note: it is equivalent of 18 storeys high in todays world)

Suddenly…

Here. Now. And then.

Here. Now. And then.

Unable to login to frostier.net through the iPhone application, I got to try to upgrade it to the latest version. 2.7.1 I updated.

What can I do about it. Now I can draft it inside by iPhone whenever I feels like it. Ultimate blogging experience except that I couldn’t find myself getting good at the virtual keyboard.

Speaking about things of getting used to, are we human tend to get complacent or it is just something we all take things for granted. If it is true, what can we do about it?! How do we perfect things from here. I should not use the word perfect. It should be how to improve things from here.

As a progression from the recent update, things doesn’t always seems to be in place. Why? I wonder about the beginning and the ending. When things reached the end, it will be the new beginning. When I finished a chapter, we proceed to the next chapter until the book been finished.

As we progress from here, I realized that things does not seems to go the way we wanted. What happened when there are different reactions from various party pertaining the single subject? Of course I have to deal all their antics. It just that I cannot control how they plan to react but except myself. This just reminds me on the time I went to Johor for 3days2nights camp. When I returned, I found out that there are scratches on my car proud work from the vandalism. At first, my heart was aching then I realized that I cannot change the fact that the marks are there. All I can change was the way to react to it.

You know what set each of us apart is the thought process. Everyone is different and reacted in different way. Some might think that this is the only way. Others will keep think g they are right. I was in the midst of drafting the post entitled “they know better” which I was trying to rant about these people I knew think they knew better. Is it ego or purely overconfident? Which reminds me I used to be that way or am I still now?!

Sometimes, we just need to seek solace in each other. This is to gather the collective mind that the action that we did was in fact the common among the crowds. It is more of seeking the approval from the people here and around.

No matter what choice we made and the ripples that we created, it is just mean that we are a living being and we are unable to contain it. We are not the God nor saints. Let just play the role and leave it for the whole to judge. I

Just the other day, I was invited to join in the shooting session with Wingz and the Alphanatics gang. A truly exposure for me. Something to learn about. Something new. Something nice.

I have to drag myself up early Saturday morning. I received a wake up call from Wingz. Apparently he also awaken by this Buttercupz.

We had fair share of getting chased by the security personnel at the Jaya One premises. Well, despite that we manage to get several good shots. Most of them in Facebook. I believe so.

There she is … SYT Model - Zoe Yve

finally I had the 50mm in my family range. Have not got time to test it. Same goes to the gunner. Need to try with the newly bought rechargeable batteries.

Saturday morning. Woke up early. Dealing issue. World Vision. Cisco Router. Support needed. Making calls. Update quotation. Doing report.

Still unsure about the status of the matters, I have to stay back a while waiting for the issue resolved.
During the duration, I started to catch a TV series. My Name Is Earl Season 4.

Pilot episode. Episode 1. The Magic Hour.

When Earl discovers that a dying kid whose wish he ruined years earlier is still alive, he promises to help him make a movie.

What make me think about is take every day is the magic day. Treat it as your last day. Then you will appreciate it more. You will put up with achieving your dreams. We have a lot of it. But to achieve it all, it s not easy. Just one dream at a time. If we can take it once at a time, then we will finally check it off by the time we realize it.

It just reminds me of my “dream list” where by there is a list of silly stupid things I wanted to do before I am being subject to the dust. Dust to dust I shall be.

How to deal with people who are just as /duh/ as you imagine?
I know you are the person in-charge
But that does not give you the right to just push things around
You know when you need to just pick up the task, just do it
I can’t be there for all the time for it

When you venturing to the unfamiliar territory
don’t just say don’t know
Ask someone who used to be in the position
Been through those situation
There’s no need to pass the ball around

I have my own limitation
I know where I can go
Just there is no point for me to go there
It is you alone to deal with it

sigh* No idea what talking me

when you walked the lonely road

when you know that the road ahead was not easy

when you realized that the support was not going to be on your side

when you feels that the odds not against you, just timing

when you sees the cheerleaders cheer for the opposition

then you feels

you felt it

the piercing cold blunt knife

cutting through the flesh and blood

of the beating muscle

the heart.

Then the tears

brimming at the side

slowly leaving its strolling down the cheek

…

It took me less than 2 week or so to complete this read. It is a simple easy read. Not too harsh, too deep and too tough to come by. But despite the work, it gives me the effect of bittersweet love. How the author, Tony Parsons inject the emotions into the pages I flipped through slowly.

The storyline was almost predictable but I find myself chasing through the pages till the very last end of it. It was a story about Harry Silver, a man who experiences loss in life. Job. Separation from wife. Death of a father. Upbringing a son. Welcoming a new love in life.

It reflect on the modern man today. The types you tend to see around. I don’t know much about this author but tend to get to see his novels around. Sort of a “lad lit” according to the bookstores. Well, I kind of like this book. Perhaps should I get a sequel from this, “Man and Wife”?

Highly recommended for those who like simple words and to understand todays men. Enough said… just read it.

Following up from the trip with the bloggers a.k.a. the ahBengs trip, we reached to the MUST VISIT location in Bangkok. If you never been to here, it is as you have never stepped into the Land of Smile.

We engaged Bob as mentioned by Thomas earlier. Here we went - The Grand Palace !!!

It was so sunny when we arrived. Forced Wingz and Thomas to take picture together. The sun was so harsh that they couldn’t even forge a smile.

Bob was telling about the mural thing. Paying no attention except that it was all about Buddha story.

And then we can still Bob still talking. Every steps he take, there will be new words coming out.

Yet, we continue the tour

and take some photos here

and there

then another shot here

and here

until

so tired we had to find shades to hide from the angry burning sun.

Wingz cannot walk by now. Here’s why

We left no stone unturned. Just chilling while Thomas busy taking photos

We look up to the ceiling and was glad that place we chill was windy enough.

When we reached here, glad that this was the final checkpoint for the Grand Palace. This is the place where East and West architectural design of the palace.

But soon, we will embark on the last and final nightmare with Mr. Bob to the Wat Pho. “Please, no more walking.” says Wingz

another fast lens getting into the family member despite the injury I had recently. Won’t die one. Bangkok post have to wait. Ended the U-Mobile U-Surf service. Need new broadband provider

---

After some time, we finally gather again.
This time around, we were yumchar-ing at the higher plain.
I were pick up by Mr. Tony,
who used to borrowed my discman from Sony.
We reached there early,
and I still hungry.

Ordered dinner along with drink.
The place famous for its cendol, i think.
They finally arrived except one,
she said she’ll make it in the next one.
We chatted till late nite,
Until we are no longer ignite.

The drowsy and sleepy eyes,
and we say byes,
leaving the Bangi Kopitiam paying few dime
and gather again in another time.

A gunner is added to the family member.

For the first time of my life, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to meet up with this author. Famous for his books entitled “The Greatness Guide” and “The Monk Who Sold His Ferarri”

I got invited to the event through LiteFM’s contest I joined on their website. It was on last Sunday held at the Cova Cafe, The Gardens around 4.30pm just straight after his meet-the-fans session in the Borders.

It was a short-lived session as Robin has only 30 minutes to be with us. Thus, i made a good use the limited time span. I was sitting face-to-face in front of him. There was a silent pause moment of 5-10 seconds. I looked deep down into his eyes. I saw a calm sea within him. He is composed. We did not say anything but I knew from there there are something about him. Hence, I decided to follow his twitter.

Yes, according to him that his favourite book is The Greatness Guide. On the other hand, I did not know that the guy sitting next to me was Jake, the some big shot in Astro or something like that.

Thanks to LiteFM.

Sometimes the inspiration came to you just like a gush of wind. Taken you aback from whatever that was running in your mind. I had my share as I was showering just now as I was thinking about the other party actions.

To spell it, it is just like the golden rule. But the mind of mine manifest into different plane. I would say, “do your shit before you expect other to do theirs”

In another word, lead by example. Guess it is about time I need to deal with my shit that I have been keeping around.

What kind of rechargeable batteries should i choose? some recommending Energizer and the other say GP.

I woke up this morning missing a call. As I check my content, the call came from my cousin sister. In this post, let just call her A. Being quite some time since I last received her phone call. Must be something urgent I thought. It was around 7 am that my digital alarm clock, from Philips that awaken me.

Quickly I returned the call. My heart was beating fast. The thought raced through several matters that reminds me that the life is precious and short. It did not took her long to pick up my call. “Hello”, I said. I told A that I received her call and was wondering what caused her to call me in the middle of night. My phone was in silent mode I added.

She said that she had a phone conversation with her brother. Let just name him B for this case. B has been a serious gambler and caused a big hoo-haa few years back. Owe too much from the gambling and into serious loan shark debt. Now he is back on track running his small business or I would say being entrepreneur selling grilled fish. My cousin, A said that B called her and ask her to borrow him some cash. She said that she got no idea who she could ask for help and then came to me.

The thing is I do not have that much of cash to spare around. Although it is not much but the idea of loaning him the money is equivalent to throw the money to big deep ocean. It just will go flush down the drain. I knew the moment she said this, I have no choice but to reject to offer. It hurts me that my cousin B having financial instability but the idea of him doing nothing really annoys me.

Yet again, it is not for me to judge. What would you do if you are in my case? He is your cousin that you grew up with. You do not want to see him in this situation but then again, you feels like you cannot just help those who do not want to help themselves.

*sigh*
