counting down!

I'll be back in another 12 days! WOOOT! I'll be squeezing my way through the traffic to the one and only ayer panas wet market and have my usual 猪肠粉 and 2 glasses of kopi-si-bing-gao! =D 

See you my friends!! 

p/s - Anyone wanna 米文 with me on the 12th? say, around 0100? 

to be apart

I have been on the fence whether i should post this photo up onto this blog because it induces such sadness when i look at it! it's not a cheerful picture at all! right?


I just got to know a friend, one whom I am not very close with actually, parted with his long time girlfriend because they have to go separate ways now. The guy will either stay in Germany or head back to Malaysia, while the girl just went back to japan. It's such a pity because they have come a long way, from what i can see and feel. The only language they speak in common is german and both of them aren't really extremely good at it, but yet, they look so sweet and nice together, and both of them really put in the effort to make it work, at least up until now. It's sad that it has to come to an end, it's even sadder when the reason for the break up isn't due to the fact that they have lost feelings for each other...


I hope they will both get over this period soon enough and move on well. I never like break-ups. BAAA!

Another shot ...

清晨的咖啡香

a series for those who love coffee as much as I do, who just can't start the day without a cup of café au lait! or who will walk around zombie-fied caffein-less! (btw, just a note on café au lait, which means coffee with milk, and a pretty popular term used worldwide right? but do you know that French don't exactly drink coffee with milk? Just thought you should know and not go around asking the French, hey, do you like café au lait? hehe)

Back to the photos, they aren't exactly close to perfect if you look at them up close! tints of excessive magenta and lost/excessive shadows here and there too! BUT i am finally getting a sturdy tripod and a ballhead, AND a macro lens! =D so hopefully future studio shots will be a lot clearer and maybe i can land myself some freelance job to support this crazily expensive hobby!

alright, enough of my babbling... enjoy them coffee lovers! I am going to make myself a cup of my favourite old town 南洋 black coffee now!

三月台湾。光影定格

no, I did not come up with this title and I didn't understand the last part too. =( Having said that, credit has to be given to my trip planner ami.L whom I will be crashing 台湾 with!

Another countdown and another vacation to look forward to! A taste of Asia which I am so deprived of and a culture that I have been longing to get close with! Having been away from home for over 5 years doesn't mean I have turned into a 番鬼仔！no, I am still as asian as I was and I still watch tons of TVB series. Lol

It's amazing how 中文 can be so expressive! I truly am blown away most of the time when I am reading my friends' 中文 blogs. Maybe it's due to the fact that I have lost touch with it for so many years and am really amateurish in it. Hence any new words or phrases amaze me to such an extent that I always hope I can return to the past and not give up my place in the high school which most of my primary schoolmates went to. sigh sigh sigh... well, what's done cannot be undone! at least I am going to 台湾 now right? ( i don't know if you feel the same way, but do these 2 similar words have the same impact on you? taiwan, 台湾 ) So, to those of you who read this post, be proud of the language and never let anyone make you dislike it in any way! =)

(SEE, I wanted to write 'until the next post, have a nice evening' in mandarin and I'm just stuck from even the very first word!) BOOO!!! but i do remember this... ... ...

p/s - i hope that was correct!!! =)

adiós! au revoir! my canon...

after 14 months of loyal service, my canon has found a new home and owner, whom I hope will show the same love and care I have showered on mine! a nice comfortable, well padded-bag, countless cleaning of it's heart and body, and the nice extensions it gets, sometimes a bob-cut, sometimes long and wavy. lol


here's a rare shot of us together! until the next one comes, adiós! 

  

meiner Anfang von 二零一零

this was how my new year started:


1 - 20hours long of mahjong marathon in 2 days
2 - Paulaner, Paulaner, and more Paulaner
3 - heaps of laughter, tons and tons of *#%&!@§/ when 东南西北中發白 all came at once!


...


4 - made a total of 1€ during those 20hours! an average of 0.05€/hour? 

*burp, prost!!!* ... Happy New Year ...
