Here's one of the hard picture to take at the staircase Cuz need to use 3 Flash gun to snap :p But well worth the effort thanks to a Ivan sifu guiding us the camera men :P The other i call it Runaway Bride and groom hehehe :)


First Picture was taken with a Canon 135mm F2.0L Lens and the bookeh Dammmm good wey. Beh tahan poison poison. The second its just a random picture that capture May with a angry Aunty scolding kids hehe.


This picture Kevin trying to eat the flower and May... god knows what she's trying to do haha. The second picture was us trying to snap the couple in a spiral staircase but then somehow or rather the effect of being at the spiral staircase didn't work out well. All this picture was taken at the Heritage Hotel in the Old KTM station.

The on Christmas day i went down to Singapore and spend arond 4 days there. What i got from there... well just a few picture to show more is inside my facebook.


The first picture is just a normal waterfall in Sentosa Island Just that i wanted to try my camra for a water flowing effect. Though its not that good but none the less it still works :)
Second is the Merlion in Sentosa Island Its a damm big Merlion but sadly at alot of angle you will be able to see an antenna on top of the Merlion head. Hahaha So it makes it so much like the Merlion with a Robotic head. :p


The Food !!! well this is a Pork Ribs and it cost me errrr 17.50 SGD for a very big piece of Pork Ribs and an Ice Lemon Tea plus a Soup and Free Flow of bread and butter. The place have a nice ambience but i forgotten what's the name of the restaurant. Its located at Singapore Plaza right at the entrance on the right side. The ther Picture is about the Only Picture i take of myself in Singapore for the trip. This shopping center is directly opposite of Ngee Ann City forgot its name though.


The water fountain belongs to Ngee Ann City While the other is the Beginning of Orchard Road Decoration.


This Kiddo Picture was snap at Bugis Junction Shopping Mall. Well its nice to look at all the kids playing with the water fountain there that's on the floor and This kiddo happens to know martial arts :p See he's trying to punch the water ada gaya wey. The errr big ear guys was snap at Bugis Street near the famous temple.


The Kissing Parrot i call them. Was taken inside the butterfly park in sentosa. Well somehow or rather my little cousin found a back way in and we went in without paying a single cents :p how evil hahaha. The Second is just a flower that looks nice which was inside the Park. Sorry no butterfly as they are all not nice. :p


These two orchid was right infront of the History of Singapore attraction in sentosa island. Well their color is just so striking so i just snap them.

Well During December too i went for a fishing trip with some Fishing Kaki from Malaysia Fishing Net Forum well here's just some of the picture of the trip. Not too fruitful but none the less have fun there. The trip was at Pulai Indah in Klang. One of the fish that got away was so big that my hook got snap into 2. Sadly forgotten to take a picture of the hook oh well what the heck.


Well in total we caught 3 fish and 1 dead fish. well it was semi dead anyway. 2 of the fishes were of the first picture dunno what they are call but none the less its around a kilos plus each. Second is a baby siakap. That siakap must have breed on their own in the pond. this Pond is HUGE i tell you.


Sorry its no wide angle picture but none the less it shows the size of the pond :p


Well We have a not sure friendly or unfriendly visitor during our fishing trip here. Luckly no one was bitten but well its still a SNAKE!!! Water Snake to be more exact as it never come to the shore. And Fishes of this size on the second picture... well i caught alot of it ahahaha

Back From IPOH for a Technical Official Gred 1 Course.

Well lets see.... went up to Ipoh to attend a Swimming Technical Official Grade 1 Course. The highest of them all. Well of course can't miss out the nice interesting from there. Although went to eat a lot of food but just forgot to bring camera down :p so no picture. But here's 2 of the interesting places i went to and snap some well not so big deal picture. 1 set is from a Pau shop somewhere near northern part of ipoh in Langkap. Its near to Jaya Jusco though. So i guess its not northern after all. The pau here taste is good so not a bad choice to eat pau actually. Tasty and it have sumptious filling not those stingy stingy type of people. Second is from a flower shop where they sell flower what else... flower.

So here's the Picture


This one is a Lotus Paste and the one bigger one like a man tou is pumpkin.


This two is Green Tea and Green Lotus Paste


All the pau here are freshly made and steam on the same day itself. As you can see te variety of pau that's being sold here.


The steamed Pau and the Signboard of the company that's selling it.


This kind of plant no need to mention name cuz i also forgotten about its name and i am lazy to go google to find it out. So anyhow i see 3 different variety of these plant here.


This one looks more enticing for a fly to fly into it. I wonder can we pluck it and use it as a cup :p


No there's no touchup to this first picture the greenish yellow is of real actualy color inside the plant. And the actual Plant that's being planted and for SALE too.


Orchid. I am no big naming fan of orchid but i do like the colors of orchid flowers. They are just so colourful.


Another variety of Orchid that's for sale here.


Last of the Variety of Orchid. There was more actually just that i didn't notice it and when i did notices those nice colourful orchid its time to go for lunch already so too bad that's all the picture i got from IPOH.

Oh well... Am going up to penang for a few days and maybe might be going down to sg to walk walk. So purhaps may have more pictures to take and post.

Foods for Thought

Ok here's a posting on some food for thoughts :p Well i start off with something that i didn't post in my recent Bali Trip that is Babi Guling. Its a famous Balinese food in Bali of course and its not easy to find it in Kuta town itself. I was kind of curious when my instructor mention to me about it cuz he say out of 6 trips he went to bali for diving but never tried it before. So well we divers decided to find a way to go get some of this food and well we manage to find one that's a little outside of kuta town center.


Now this is the Signboard for the shop that we went to have our Babi Guling.


As you can see well minus the ashtray.... It consist of pig skin that's fried till like a fish cracker, chop up pieces of serai leaf mix with spices, the satay like meat is just pork meat below the serai spices is the pork meat. and some chillies and some dried internal parts of the pigs. Babi Guling is actually not roasted like the Malaysian roasted pork but in fact they are actually stew in their special soup. Well from what i can see in the stall that is. I was expecting that they BBQ the pork or something but well i was wrong. So then they have all these internal organs of the pork friend and then dried up and serve together. Their soup was very sweet as they uses the Jackfruit as a main ingredient to make it. Well all in all if you get a chance to go Bali should find some and try it. They really taste good :)



Next on line... Well over the weekend I conducted a Swimming Technical Official Gred 3 Course with another lecturer and also my friend Yew Kee in KL. So well as what we always do we uses our allowance to go grab some nice food for dinner or lunch and 1 of the places that i brought him was the Daorae Korean restaurant in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Of course i've been here before with my sibblings and mom during my mom b'day but then this time i bring my friend to enjoy some nice food here too. This was done on the last day after the course ended and we came here for lunch. In the picture is the Menu and the table setting that we seated ourself in. Its a table for 4 and bigger table is also available.



The setting of the table was simple and the seaweed soup was complimentary. The sauces that's served are actually meant to go with the meat that we ordered. Inside the "Grilling pan" is the charcoal that's being used to cook our food.


Here's 2 of the dishes that we order Pork Ribs and marinated Beef Ribs They are not exactly too big in sizes but well its definetly not big enough for my appetite :p But with a few different type of meat i guess it will fill me up.


This one is a Prime Beef Rib Eye meat. Well before it was being cut to pieces it was a whole piece. and those potatoes and onions are just the garnish of the meat together with some garlics that's placed in some oil and heated together.

We also order a bowl of Beef muscle soup. It contains all the muscle of the beef which is quite nice actually. goes well with a bowl of rice too :)


And here's the free food that you will usually get when dining at a Korean restaurant. Usually they have around 8 to 10 varieties of small dishes in small plates where you can refill if you have finish it. The pancake was given to us free at the end of the meal. Well i dunno maybe they are trying some new dishes every table get 1 of it.


Now on the second night of the course we went to Ninja Jones. Well of course I've blog about it before but this time .... I ordered more different food :p First off the usual my favorite Salmon sashimi. Consist of Salmon meat, Salmon belly and the Salmon egg. Then the caterpillar like is unagi top with avocado and cucumber. Yummy stuff they are. :)


Next on line is the Grill Mackerel fish. We order 2 type of it 1 that's shown the natural fish grill with salt and the other was the with teriyaki sauce.(forgot to take picture of that one) Then the next one is also my all time favorite the Ika Teriyaki which is also grill squid.


Next on queue was the Beef. Yum yum and they are the best man i tell you. The cube is the Wagyu Beef which i have shown before this in earlier blog the second is the Kobe Beef. In case you don't know what's a Kobe beef go google it. that few pieces of Kobe Beef cost 130 buckeroos :p But damm its taste marvelous

Of course some smaller side dishes is the Sof

This raw fish... Initially i thought it was a kembong fish but then i don't even recall kembong fish can be make into sashimi like that :p then again i forgotten what this fish is being called it was recommended to us by the waiter there and he mention that its a new dish and the fish just got in today. Its not in the menu. The fish is superbly sweet and taste really good. Its garnish with slices of ginger and onions. As for desert we had this 3 in one thingie. Consist of Pumpkin pudding, fruits, tiramisu cake, a scoop of green tea ice cream and that 2 piece of long stick there is actually pure chocklate. Initially i thought when i saw it in the menu it was a pair of chopstick but then when it came.... it melted in my mouth hahaha :p Well this is some of the nice food we had.

Since it was a 3 days course so we had 3 meals right. On the first night we went to shangrila hotel for their buffet dinner. We decided to go check it out again since we haven't been there for quite some time already. But sadly i didn't bring my camera up but then again... the food there was.... lets just say they are degrading and we decided not to go there again to eat. Quite disappointed with their food now. Other then their oyster that is.

So that's the food for thought :)
