I’m actually feeling guilty for not updating this blog. Not that I’ve lost interest in blogging, just that things are being very routine lately. Probably I’ve lost the interest in noticing the interesting stuff happening around me. Or I’ve subconsciously chose to ignore all these stuff.

Anyhow, I’ll try my best to blog “more often”.

As for myself, I’ve been hitting the gym very often, almost every weekday and some weekends as well. My trainer advised me to take pictures to keep a log of my progress. So I wanna share some progress pics here.

JUNK was invited to play at this nice cozy little place called “Hot Pot Cafe” at Damansara Damai.

Owned by musicians, the place is nicely decorated with musical instruments, pictures of musicians, Music Certificates and others. Stage setup was minimalist yet decent. Worth checking out if you are nearby. The owner welcomes bands to perform at the place.

Don’t know how to elaborate more but do visit Jocelyn’s blog here for a review of the gig. The pinnacle of the performance was when Dino climbed up to get his old Trombone and jammed with us and Dr Farah did an impromptu improvisation of Blues vocal with us… (Dino and Dr Farah owns the cafe)

Enough said, the pics …

 

 

Pics from Eizaz’s camera.
Like just finished shower… LOL

On the first day of Hari Raya, a group of us went to this waterfall nearby Kuala Kubu Bahru. It is sort of a last minute plan between few of us a day or two before Friday.

Can’t really recall my last visit to any waterfall within the last 10 years.

It took us around one hour to reach the trail head. Partly due to we lost our way looking for the place.

To reach the waterfall, we trekked, crossed the stream 6 times and finally arrived at the waterfall after an hour later.

True to its’ name, IT IS CHILLING! I believe the water is less than 10’C.

It is really nice listening to the sound of water falling, stream flowing. So calm and peaceful. The fishes swam around us. The view of the waterfall is so awesome.

Totally a recommended place to get close with nature !!!

      

I’m still waiting for other pics from my friend’s camera. Will post it once I got a hand on them.

I’ll be flying off to Bangkok tomorrow morning and then transit to Cheang Rai.

Lots of friend asked me whether I want to reconsider my plan due to the political situation in Thailand. But I just don’t give it a damn…… I haven’t been going back to my mom’s hometown for close to 6 or 7 years already.

Pray that this will be a safe and smooth sailing trip. And pray that my family and I will come back the way before we went.

On another unrelated note, the iPhone has been serving me well with some useful apps. The camera function really comes in handy. This is what I snapped while at gym yesterday …

After posting this pic on my FB, some friends claimed I’m becoming a narcissist. LOL.

Just went to a salon to color my hair and get a haircut since they are having promotion… This is the first time I’m taking self pics from right angle.

How was it???

 

Erm… this is actually a post on my trip to Penang LAST MONTH… Hehehe…

My friend and I were actually on a food trip to Penang. Will go again next time if my schedule permits. We went around hunting for food along with the local there.

List of food that we had are : - (not limit to ;-) )

- Yam Rice with salted vege soup. I like it very much.

- Blackman Rojak. The sauce was superb.

- Oyster omelets.

- Seafood… Loads of them …

 

Sidenote : I’m not at all part of the seafood. I’m just camwhoring while waiting for the food. Duh.

 

Apart from that, we also visited a few places in Bukit Mertajam and Penang Island. Particularly, St Anne’s Cathedral and za Hard Rock Hotel.

 

If you guys wanna go Penang, let me know… I wanna join .. ;-)

Cute heh???

Two of my course mates back in my UKM days, Eric and Hoay Chia were married over the weekend and I was invited to attend their wedding dinner at Sungai Petani up north. Thanks to Wai Kit for willing to share out his car. Wai Kit, Elizebeth and I started our journey up north at ungodly hour of 6.30am. I went to bed at around 4.30am because I was testing out the MOTU. So I was snoozing all the way till we reach Penang around 11am.

The trip was a pleasant one (because I was asleep). I DO occasionally wake up to take a look around the surroundings and marvel at the green scenery till my jaw literally dropped.  

We made a stop at the Penang island for a meal and to buy some souvenirs. Rang up my brother to meet up at Prangin Mall. So we went around sight seeing and cam whoring.

 

 

Then I saw this rather “familliar” shop … GeorgeTown White Coffee…

Seems like everywhere is kopitiam frenzy heh… We have Kemaman Kopitian, Old Town Kopitian and etc…..

Since this is my first visit to this landmark, why not snap some pics heh?

  

 

 

- Wai Kit and Elizebeth (their forehead) -

After some shopping, we went out of Penang via the infamous ferry.

 

After that, we continued up north and finally reach Sungai Petani around 4pm. We rested for a while at Eric’s place and prepared ourselves for the wedding dinner.

 

It’s a good time to catch up with my former coursemates. It’s been 4 years since I last seen most of them. Lots of them getting married this year. So it’s gonna burn a big hole in my wallet. Hahaha….

Hopefully will have chance to meet up with them again sometime.

That pretty much conclude the weekend.
