sorry. this blog is temporary closed until chinese new year due to semester 2 hectic crazy busy schedules.
I’ll get back to you with the updates once I’m free.
ciao!
I’m having a random thoughts on the bloke sat next to me during my transit flight PEN-KUL on the 28th December 2009, 11 am. ah. I wish to see him again and ask his name 
he was such a gentlemen and I was head over heel throughout the entire flight. ha, ha. ok maybe I look a little like a brat, but I don’t normally talk to stranger, so.. ha,ha.
ok, time to sleep. I just came back from a site visit to sediment river in kulim, kedah. will blog about it later once I’ve transferred all the photos to my MacBook. in the mean time, good night. I’ll dream of meeting the bloke tonight. amen. ha, ha.
I’m back in ever-sunny/rainy Penang. Ah. A week in China made me missed Malaysian food especially the glorious Penang hawker food. I’m craving for char koey teow, hokkien mee, chee cheong fun, assam laksa, roti canai & i even missed nasi kandar, OMFG. Apart from that, I kinda miss tuaran mee, soto & rojak mbak sana Kg Likas, ngiau chap, roti bakar sana Damai/Luyang and even food city food. hahahahah! Ok enough of food.
I just finished tranferring photos from my camera to my macbook & with a little white balance/crop/color saturation, and walla.. below are few of my oriental garden shots. Pardon me for lack of photos of Xiamen (and me) due to my forgetfulness to bring my camera charger.
dayummmmm.
10,000 rock garden/ Xiamen Botanical Garden
Part of Nanputuo Temple
Shuzhuang Garden, Gulangyu Island
Main shopping district, Zhongshan Lu
One of China’s National Scenic Spot, Gulangyu Island
Botanical Garden

For the rest of the photos, kindly refer to my facebook Amoy photo album
I am sooo into oriental landscape design & Xiamen’s urban landscape definitely cries for their own oriental identity. I like!
Hello all! Blogging from Xiamen China, I managed to penetrate the great firewall of China but only for wordpress, I have yet to get access to twitter & facebook. Oh well.
Coming down to the end of 2009 & I shall say, I had a good run & good struggle in 2009. To list everything would be endless but here are few things that I love to remember in 2009; I have resigned my job & pursuing my masters degree, I had a good dating game back in KK, I have achieve a great-hot-very fit body (and this relevant only prior moving to penang), great 6 years & counting.
Of course there are few things that I wanted to forget and let’s just now get into that now.
Looking in my very last post in 2008 on my 2009 resolution, below are recap on my 2009 resolutions:
1. Have more (and more) fun! Trip to Fiji with bestie perhaps?
2. Enroll into MTech programme. yep!
3. Register myself as assistant consultant;
4. Appreciation of nature & knowledge;
5. To be very serious in photography (Photography is crucial in scientist daily life, as well as tree-huggers). Yeah, I’m taking at least 200 photos for my field work;
6. My own crib (with the illustrated interior & finishings from the previous post mentioned) in Tropicana/Dsara/Mutiara/anywhere nearby the campus;
7. Start back on my work-out regime! erk.. this include polishing tennis skills, start to jog, muscle build-up, I want to join back Bodyjam (!!),

Hello all! I’m currently in transit & still in Malaysia though! Ha,ha. I will be going to Xiamen, China this afternoon until new year. So by then (and hopefully I can penetrate the great firewall of China – Yes, they block everything i.e. social network including facebook, twitter, yada yada and most of the major blog- wordpress, blogspot, etc). Till then, enjoy your very last week of 2009 whenever you are, my dear reader because we all going to rock 2010!!
Ha,ha. Oh btw, did you all read my twit i posted 10 minutes ago (if not yet, please click on the twitter widget on the left of this blog. Gosh. I sat next to cute ( i mean, VERY CUTE) cute chinese guy that made speechless. and he is very gentlemen. Quick check: no ring on the finger, smells like hugo boss cologne, black iphone, bailey’s messenger bag. Hot.Hot.
And there was I, sitting like a midget, I blew my chances. Dang!
Anyway, I was in total euphoria & the first time that I wish the plane keep on flying & flying. Keh.keh.
Oh did i tell you that I’m iPhone 3gs 32gb poorer? oh and it’s damn white I tell you!
hehehe will post it later when i get the chance. My feet still not touching the floor. Ah. He’s damn cute. SO cute that my charming-flirty in flight mode (turn off) by him. sheeeeeeeeeet.
Oh I hope I can blog when I’m in Xiamen. I downloaded some scripting so that my ip address will be twisted & turn and I can access to my wordpress blog and/or other social networking site. I have yet to blog about my progress of 2009 new year resolution & write about the upcoming 2010 resolution. AH. I can feel great things coming up this 2010!
Oh, I’ll be spending my 2010 new year in China! keh.keh. and it’s winter over there. 
Very nice (mild winter) weather. I hope I can stand the weather (and food) and people. ah.
i hate this part. I hate this silly feeling creeping inside me, again. argh! I’m leaving Kota Kinabalu again tomorrow. I hate the feeling of wanting to go to the beach especially Tanjung Aru so that I can weep about leaving this beautiful place, again.
argh. I hate this.
I’m dizzy. and I should be packing my stuff for early flight tomorrow. ah. I’m going to miss KK. and the thoughts of KK and many more.
Argh. I hate this.
I hate that i miss you the most. I hate that! dang.
i have to go back to reality. Back to the varsity. Back to struggle and hard work.
May god bless you and the new undertaking. I wish you all the best. See you again, when it meant to be. *wishful thinking*
I. am. sad.
I spent my christmas eve by movie/dinner outing with HL & YT. We decided to watch Avatar together at GSC 1Borneo. keh.keh. I love the movie, though the storyline is quite simple, but the special effect & the story concentrate on the mother-nature & the concept of ecosystem, everything is related in any way; the flow of energy – thermodynamic law 1&2, food chain, etc is briefly described throughout the plot. The story also emphasize on destruction of equilibrium ecosystem will lead to other environmental disaster.
Very environmental-centric aye? Yes, I must say. The protection of the land of the ingenious also being emphasize here & the destruction of the area just because of its rich in mineral/energy that lead to feud between the inhabitant and the outsider, just for the sake of economic (bling, bling!)
Which reminds me of the controversial dam construction in west coast Sabah. I shall not describe it in detail here, it’s a sensitive issue & I shall not put my head in due to some circumstances
However, I was reading these affected people (especially those who live there, having land being pass down from their ancestors that soon to be inundated), it’s a sad situation where they have to stand for their right and at the same time, a pressure for energy demand throughout the state. Ah. Pity them.
Back to Avatar, I looooooove the Pandora forest, beautiful! Bioluminescence plants & those hanging mountain? gorgeous!
The movie never fail to play around with my emotion. At some point, the movie made me feel contented with the view of rich biodiversity of Pandora & I was very angry when they are attacking the hometree with machine gun etc. My emotion was in turmoil throughout the movie.
It doesn’t have to be a planet over the rainbow similar to as illustrated in the movie, Pandora. These issue has and still going on even in Sabah. Yes, open your eyes guys! It’s happening here.
It’s a very refreshing alien movie though. Normally, some extraterritorial creatures trying to destroy or taking over the earth from human but this time, it’s the other way around. Human is the alien- sky people trying to invade the planet. ha,ha.
I shall say, this is one of the best movie i watch so far in 2009. ah. Great movie to end the year!
I’m planning to watch it again before I fly back to Penang. Anyone want to watch it with me?
Btw, I just came back from 1B again, watched Sherlock Holmes with my cousin; very entertaining & humorous movie though.
I give 4 and 3 of out 5 for Avatar & sherlock Holmes respectively.
P/s: I can’t stop singing the Avatar’s I See You by Leona Lewis! Dang!
would I feel this way?
