The end of a fantastic journey! More pics to come... Until then, Ciao!

Reality Vs Fantasy

Sorry to go abruptly on my blog on my last post.  I had to go off to meet someone. So anyway, I am having denials now that I'm faced now with the reality of life rather than the wonderful fantasy life that I have been living in Bangkok.  Me and my best friend did talk about it, just before we checked in our luggage at the counter, that our fantasy life was about to end.  And I guess, that makes it more special.  Something to look forward about.  And we shouldn't experience fantasy in our everyday life because at some point it will saturate and take it for granted. My trip to Bangkok also consist of a excursion to one of the beautiful islands in Thailand.  Koh Samed.  Beautiful.  Breath taking.  Expensive.  But worth it.  I'll post some of the pictures soon, yeah, I always say that, but never did LOL.  So I will try.  There are so many pictures to post.  All of them pretty, but some should be censored...  Because they are half naked pictures of me at the beach...  And it'

Evil

If I could summarise my vacation into just one word, the one word would be EVIL. I have never been so excited to write in my blog that I am now writing it on my word document, hoping that tomorrow when I am online, I will paste these words into my blog.    These feelings inside of me is still fresh and I don’t want to forget what had just happened over the course of one week. I have landed in Brunei about an hour ago, I have showered and am about to go to sleep.    This vacation and perhaps my belated new year celebration is the best vacation yet.    Yes, I say yet.    So far this trip has got to be the pinnacle of all vacation that I had ever had.    There was drama, with a lovely ending, in one of the most beautiful location on earth.    There was fun and fantasy.    There were laughter and sadness.    And most important of all…    Friendship. Friendship.    What is it?    What is the essence of it?   I don’t have the answers for you.    You have to define yourself.    But let me sha

Smashing Extended Weekend

Gong Xi Fa Chai to my chinese readers, if so happen to read this... It is an extended weekend for most asian countries that are celebrating Chinese New Year.  And it is the year of the Ox.  That means that my eldest brother is 36 years old this year.  How I know this, because there are 12 animals in the chinese zodiac, so I'm 30, and my brother couldn't be 24! Anyway, we have been hitting the pubs and clubs, and I was completely smashed.  And yesterday was the best!  Yes, I was up to no good, and I'm not proud of it.  But I had an absolutely smashing time.  It was wonderful, it was great.  We were dancing all night long...  Trying not to sound like Lionel Ritchie.  The aftermath was not fun though, but yesterday was the night to remember.  Something I realise that you don't have to look good to pull, you only need the idiocy in you to come up and be all crazy and have lots of fun, and people will definitely flock to you, and thanks to my two great friends, they protect

Heaven Again

Here I am writing this post at the lobby of the hotel that I am staying, a little uncomfortable as there are people passing by and looking at the screen as I type. So this post ain't going to be a long one. This is my third day here, and so far, despite many temptations, I have managed to contain myself, and surprisingly for me, I have been a very very very good boy. This trip, this time around, it is very laid back, reason being, me and my friend have been here, we know what to get what and where. So there's isn't so much of rush going on. The trip to this very hotel, didn't take long. Surprisingly, both me and my friend get tired pretty easy and we spend most of our time in the hotel. Last night was the first night we went clubbing. And I behaved. Hard to believe but true. But it was so much fun. There are few more nights here, and plenty of errands to run. I have just wished myself that I didn't tell anyone about my trip. Now I have things to buy for

Going and Getting Stronger

(I wrote this post some time ago, before my trip to bangkok) This is not a New Year Resolution. But I have made a comeback with my fitness this year.  I'm not putting it off, but I will do this after my holidays to Bangkok.  It's my first vacation of the year and after a long stay offshore, and I plan to enjoy it as much as I can (who knows this would be my last vacation after my house starts construction; which now is on-hold due to land-title deeds issues).  I have made a conscious decision to bring myself back to par to my previous weight and fitness. I'm doing this because I have been following one of the blog I have always visited every now and again.   AnakPanyu , in a way, have inspired me, but I get put off with his motivation, by my everyday routine and lifestyle.  Being offshore, and the long drive coming back to and from work, gives me less time for me to run or do any physical exercise, and if I do have that time, I would be too exhausted at most occasions.  But

Gone Flat...

Yesterday, I went to work pretty early, well I was late, but that was not my fault, my trip to work took a 2 hours drive, thanks to the traffic jam along the way.  The ride to KB was uneventful and I forgot how relaxing it can be in a traffic jam.  Relaxing you may ask?  Well, stress (on the road) is only a state of mind, you would feel so stressed out if you think the road is yours.  Well, it isn't?  Right?  So why bother trying to control things you can't? So anyway, after work, I made an appointment, with Sue and Jays.  You remember them?  Well, they are my favourite couple and friends and I love them both to bits!  I don't normally contact them as they have a family now, and I'm always offshore.  But I had to pick up a couple of books from them, the book I bought from Bangkok, it was a house plan book.  My sister wanted to borrow them.  So anyway, I went off from work in a mad dash.  Why?  Because the car park was about to flood.  So I had to leave before the car p

Have An Issue? Get A Tissue!

I was actually trying to refrain from writing this issue in my blog, because it will only make myself look defensive.    But it got me thinking; I couldn’t sleep because of it, so I guess, writing it in my blog is inevitable. A reader said that I use this blog as a way to get sympathy.    Did I get any?    Sympathy is an affection I can get from my readers, can I force that upon my readers? Obviously the answer is no, but then again, at the same time, that was never the intention.    As I already have written, for quite a number of times, and bearing in mind that this blog are my thoughts, trials and tribulations that I personally have gone through, it is merely my sounding board, yeah, it is true that my sounding boards is quite public, but through this channel, perhaps someone out there can teach me a thing or two about life.    Challenge my thoughts, and to a certain point, learn from my own mistakes. It is also a journal.    There are times, when I trace back to read the happy time

The Greatest Weekend

I had the greatest weekend, and it just so happen, that this is the first weekend this year I've spent onshore. What did I do actually?  Well, I can't say.  Let's just say, I was up to no good.  This weekend is the most memorable weekend of my life.  And no, it's not what you think.  Not a date, not a potential relationship, etc, etc.  Let's just say, I have lived.  And if I should die tomorrow, I won't regret it. There are lots of things, we take things for granted.  For example, life.  Life itself.  We live our lives, day by day, consume ourselves in our every day world and routine.  Sometimes, we just need to break free and let go.  Let everything go.  I am writing this blog as a reminder to myself if I ever come to read this again, when things don't go well.  There's always this unbearable feelings of us to be in control.  But there are times, letting go, even difficult to achieve, can be so much easy.   I would like to thank my Soul Guru, Andie aga

Lord Of A Ring

Image
A request from one of my avid readers (Ms Dania) to post a picture of my Swarovski crystal ring.  Ms Dania, apologies for the bad picture,  it was an impromptu take, just minutes before I wrote this blog using my mobile phone.   Actually, this is the second ring I bought from that place, I've sold off the first one to my brother-in-law, because every time I meet him, he always borrowed it off me and occasionally persuade me to sell it off.  Finally I sold him at a very cheap price, he's a really good haggler. Aiedee once bought a ring for his wife when I brought him there the first time, and he wanted just before he went home on the last trip, he asked if we could stop by because he wanted to get a ring for himself and his wife.  I have a thing for things that sparkle.  I wasn't into jewelry before, and this new hobby of mine started with a couple pairs of earrings, and then I bought rings and recently I bought a pendent.   Some might say, it's a little showy.  And I
