Lion Dance

Took some lion dance shots during our company CNY dinner, more than 90% of the shots were trashed as my lens (plus myself) is not fast enough to capture the movements =P

Pasión

My cousin used this song as his wedding reception entrance track =)

At 1' 30", right at the start of chorus, the ballroom door opened and the couple walked in...



Anyway I really think this a very nice song =)
Happy Valentine's Day!

Cambodia

I never had the patience to upload photos in Blogspot - cause it's such a painful wait + photo quality is really bad... but now that I discovered that I could actually upload pictures in Flickr and link them to my blog via HTML, it's time to share some pictures taken during our Cambodia trip in May 2008 =)

Note: all pictures taken using Canon Ixus 70.

Happy Niu Year =)

Wishing all my friends a healthy, happy, prosperous year ahead =)

CNY celebration started off very well with a 2.5 hours chat over the phone with CCW - haven't talked to him for a year before this. And at time I was very worried that I'm losing my precious friends like him to time and distance. But to my surprise, we were able to really talk to each other =P

Will be meeting up with another "old" mate later =)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Say No to War

Today, more than 5000 people have gathered in front of the US embassy to express their dissatisfaction, that US did not play their role in the pursuit of a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Palistine.

And today, Malaysia, a small country in the eyes of the world, has stepped up and called for a UN special session in hope to end the Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Today, I'm proud to be a Malaysian.

This has nothing to do with being pro-Palestine or pro-Jihad. This has nothing to do on who started it first or who's supplying the arms to who. To me, and many many small people and small voices across the world, what mattered to us is that the killing of innocent people and children must be stopped immediately. Bombing of the UN schools is unacceptable. If violence is the only way to solve the problem, I have no problem for both sides to identify a battlefield which is free of civillians, they can fire as much bullets/rockets as they like and bring each other to hell.

As for you, who are reading this, please spend a few minutes to read through the news. Those who were sacrificed deserve a little bit of our time, as a citizen of the global village, let us all remember what had happened in the past 14 days (and unknown days to come).

God please have mercy....

Sentul East

4 January 2009 (Sunday)

We spent the entire morning walking between this 2 condominiums - Tamarind and Saffron. Generally both condos are good...

Saffron is brand new, but considerably more expensive, comes with a small private park and basketball court, better security as you need the access card to get into the lift lobby, selling at around RM 330 per sqf.

Tamarind is 2.5 years old, well-maintained, in fact they are re-painting now, slightly cheaper - selling at RM 300 per sqf.

Both are freehold, good layout which optimizes the built-up area (decent shower room size!) - but both are too pricy for us now...

Anyway no harm to take a look at them...
