2011-08-21T15:59:00.002+08:00

im not talking about 2012.

hello world. as u can see from the long term inactivity of my blog, i'm thinking of closing down this blog for good. but one thing that's stopping me is all the memories that this thing contains. sorry for being sentimental. and even more sorry for not continuing to write. it seems my facebook has replaced my blogspot for now. well i guess i'm just going to leave things at it is for a while with a temporary closure announcement. but don't get shocked if u come back next time and find this page unavailable. til then. see ya. or maybe not. see ya on facebook.

regards,

STAY

okay. now what???

2010-08-29T08:56:00.002+08:00

since nobody reads my blog, i guess this is a good place for me to share some feelings and thoughts that i dont wanna tell the world but at the same time dont wanna keep in my heart, things that i cant share on facebook or msn. . .

first of all, happy belated birthday to me. . . :) it has been one week since "that day". i know what im writing is very cliche and cheesy but within this 7 days, i feel happy when im with u. and empty like im missing something when im not. i keep telling myself that im not falling for u. no way! and even if i am, i shouldnt. i cant tell u how i feel. no no no. thats insane, cos im sure u just wont get it. u and i are not on the same page when it comes to this. so i guess it's back to me denying my heart. but it's kinda hard. denying the fact that i think about u all the time - and i even dream about u - is crazy. . . what shall i do???

The Last Goodnight - Pictures of You.mp3

Just realised that my blog is 3 years old as of 22 July 2010 - which is exactly one week ago. Havent been blogging much lately. 6 and a half months since my last post - Hahaha - Sorry Bloggie.

Anyways, looking back on the photos and writings in my older posts brings back much memories. Feelings and thoughts that are forgotten are once again found. Hence I'm listening to this song. Hope you will like it too.

Will update real soon ~ I hope ~ :)

2009-11-02T21:32:00.008+08:00

021109 is the date today.
It is the 2nd day of November.
And the very 1st Monday of the month.

I have a sudden urge to put my life in perspective.
Hmmm... I shall put this in writing.

Note to self:

1. November is rainy.
Do not spend RM9 to wash your car.
It is not worth it.

2. Do not play in the rain.
U have final exam in 3 weeks time.
Falling sick is not recommended.

3. It is time to start revision!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh..........

fast cars and peaceful roadways

2009-09-01T00:21:00.010+08:00

inspired by one of the blog posts that i read, let me show you what i was doing one sunday afternoon about a month ago during semester break.

i was watching people racing. the opening act was go-karts. then it was the real thing. modified race cars all in white. please press play to watch the video below.

video taken with SE K550i and unedited. if the video is lagging, sorry. anyways, the feeling there being so close to the fast cars was... TOTALLY AWESOME!!! im loving the sights and sounds.

not too far away from the fast cars, shown by the combo photo, is a very peaceful roadway. the photos are darkened and blurred and lightened and sharpened. just for fun hahaha.

i spent my weekend at BAKO National Park. the previous time i went there was perhaps 12 years ago. i wish i have a scanner to scan and post here the photos of me visiting the place as a child. oh well too bad :)

photos here are taken with my chinese apple iphone 2.0 camera. combo photos done with microsoft paint. so im not that bad after all for an amateur huh. sadly photos here do not include monkeys and wild boars. those animals are all over the island.

the park is actually under construction so currently i do not recommend anyone to visit the place. but i do hope to see better things the next time i visit.

well, last but not least, Happy Merdeka, Malaysia!

music recommendations:
Seemann - Apocalyptica & Nina Hagen
and some patriotic songs i.e. NEGARAKU

theme park lame-ness. me being afraid of the roller coaster named 'corkscrew' as it has up-side-down turnings.

tried it anyway. it was fun AND safe.

love the red bus and the red booths!

not forgetting to mention the weather!

imagine being stuck on a mountain for hours with no accessible transport to leave? what would you do to kill time?

well. . . we got tattoos! matching ones some-more!

zooming in at my tribal dragon tattoo!

ok. fine! the truth is that it is henna. means that it is not permanent. lasted for approx 2 weeks. completely gone way before u see this photo.

dont ask me what i was doing here ok.

dont even think about asking!

these photos make me wanna go somewhere again. somewhere. anywhere. but industrial training is coming soon. . .

and i actually i think that this is the most colourful post i have in this blog ever! or maybe not. blah!

life update

2009-05-01T09:21:00.017+08:00

we are entering the month of may, and i have not written any entry in april. this post is my life update so far, using snapshots to help me tell the story.

check out what came through my mail the other day. . .

i took these sepia shots somewhere (i forgot where)

the black and white shots were taken during a roadtrip to the city outskirts

both taken in Sibu - a failed shot of fireworks and the sight of the town street

the educational site visit to the state convention center

lovely colourful photos taken in Heliconia @ The Banquet

Taking photos while driving during a rainy evening = DANGER!!!

P/S : Currently listening to You by Schiller featuring Colbie Caillat

that's all for now & see u soon!

pictures - frozen in time

2009-03-03T15:47:00.006+08:00

the sky. the breeze. the sand. the wave.

memories are collected little by little...

and last for a lifetime...

back to REALITY - it's the start of the new semester and i'm still adjusting from holiday mode to study mode. @.@

P/S: lately my internet connection is bad beyond words. i'll post something new whenever i have the chance...

i love jogging

2009-02-22T12:52:00.008+08:00

true to my 2009's new year resolution, i successfully went jogging everyday for a week, regardless of rain, shine, or mist.

i managed to take this photo of a beautiful sunset one evening

i was also there when the big mist hit the park

and the most beautiful feeling of all was when i was hiding under the shed taking this photo when it was raining

i love jogging. . .

Greetings from rainy Kuching. In the midst of Chinese New Year preparations, Kuchingnites have been quite crazy. The traffic for the past few days has been hectic and full of congestion. I am sometimes stuck in traffic for hours. Well, at least i took some photos to kill time.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

2009-01-03T00:24:00.003+08:00

last month, when i was shopping, i took these few photos.

it was such a big news that kuching high was on fire.

a few days ago, i read from the news that the school will operate as normal for the new school year.

to all school-going students:

"HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL."

the new year post

2009-01-01T21:42:00.008+08:00

come rain come shine
come 2009

this is the first day of 2009.
any new year resolutions? anyone?

i think i have one. i need to live a healthier lifestyle.

that includes proper diet, detox, de-stress, perhaps more swimming, and hopefully lots and lots of JOGGING.

i miss jogging.

roadtrip

2008-12-26T21:04:00.007+08:00

imagine that u drive and drive til u got tired and u go on a boat

when u reach the shore, pay a couple of ringgits, then u walk amongst some banana trees of a quiet kampung

and quite suddenly u see some fine chinese architecture appearing out of nowhere

then u took photos

and more photos

hahaha
well that was my roadtrip
it's worth every bit of the long and exhausting journey

and the date is 26th december 2008
it has been 4 years after the tsunami hit asia, people!!!
time flies. the affected areas have recovered a lot.
hmpf, what have u been doing for the past 4 years? ---> question directing at myself

merry christmas everyone!

bing!

i have no idea why i was so crazy about it - to the extend that i went there on the night of the grand opening day.

strategically situated on the way to the airport from city center, i believe business here will boom. the wave of development in this part of town is also assisted by the surrounding areas - jalan song, oneTJ, four points hotel, etc.

the atmosphere inside is great. love the painting. i think it's a different version of the painting found in the other outlet.

that's me.

and i love the pillow case. how random. haha.

well at least i got 10% off my bill.
feeling satisfied now :)

below is the end result:

impressive? no?
its ok. at least i had fun.

hi im maxxbie

2008-11-29T18:54:00.030+08:00

hi im maxxbie and this is a story of my life as a pre-examination over-aged student.

while preparing for my finals in school, i found a place to hide-away, and took some shots.

i experimented with reflections.

tried a few macros in sepia.

played with exposure and saturation.

vibrant colours vs plain shades.

and that's me.

傻呼呼~

secretly took photos of this girl walking. and walking. the song 'there she goes' was playing in my head.

love these photos of rose buds.

in water.

in my tea, to be more precise.

and also these shots of water droplets on the window glass surface.

in conclusion, i spent lots of time doing things other than studying. am i terrible? hahaha~

这样的人这样地等
无非是等个回应眼神
为爱翻滚不计伤痕
甘心为你一生都浮沉

这样的人别笑我蠢
傻傻的心痛也不觉疼
就算天冷就算残忍
等你想起这没用的人

一人一半感情不散
已经找到爱为何要离开

the F word

2007-12-18T15:44:00.000+08:00

ALthough it seems so the very wrong, I'm neither cursing nor displaying an obscene word on my blog. It's just a sign welcoming people who come to the Austrian village of F*cking.

The road sign has attracted and amused many English-speaking tourists. It has been stolen and replaced for at least once. =.='''

To remind drivers not to speed, another sign was put up, as seen in the photo. The German words "Bitte - nicht so schnell!", which can be directly translated into English as "Please - not so fast!", makes everything even more interesting. Hahahaha

Its Maroon 5 VS Daughtry. Who do u like better?

Won't Go Home Without You by Maroon 5

"The guitar undertone in the song is based on the The Police single, "Every Breath You Take," which makes the moment at the end of the music video where Levine is watching the female character somewhat ironic." - Wikipedia

Over You by Daughtry

"You're with somebody for a really long time, and you pretty much think that this is the person you're gonna spend the rest of your life with, and then they drop the ball on you. Then you think it's over, you're life is done, and then somebody better walks in." - Chris Daughtry

"Hi, my name is Sarah" - Girl in the video

***by the way,

Elle Owe Vee Yee = L-O-V-E

=.=''' Lame huh?!?! lol***

the battle has ended... for now

2007-11-21T15:31:00.000+08:00

i can foresee bad things coming my way but...
come what may; let it be...

in the mean time, im youtube-ing;
i love these two, hope u like them too!

Moi Lolita - Alizee
Its a 7-year-old song but i tink its nice and very dance-able.
I don understand French but the phrase "Moi Lolita" sounds erotic to me.
lolx

Moi Lolita - Julian Dore
The song was performed in a singing competition
--- imagine American Idol, in French. Yup.
The song later became a single, not too long ago.

Oh ya, last Friday night i went to Tabuan Jaya for supper. There was this menu on the table and in it was a drink called Vanilla Blue. Fascinated by the name, i ordered it. At first my brother was like, blue? Chemical la. But after he saw it and tasted it, he ordered one for himself too. And soon after i saw people from other tables ordering it. Need i say more?

my weekend review

2007-10-14T23:04:00.000+08:00

I have not been posting entries lately. So this is an attempt to post a super long one. Let's see if i will succeed.

Thursday

My weekend starts from Thursday cos i don have class on Thursdays. Went to Crown Square for brunch wif bro. He din have class too. Early Raya.

Sarsaparilla, or more commonly known as Sarsi. Looks like alcohol. But it isn't.

Some caesar salad

There was Pork Chop too but we were too gluttony and we forgot to take a picture of it. There's a photo of the leftover rib, tho. Wanna see? lol

Later that night, I went food-testing for an up-coming anniversary dinner. Met some nice people.

The sunset view outside the restaurant

We agreed that the fried noodles din look great. But the taste oklah.

Duck a bit dry.

Soup okay.

Fish quite nice.

Prawn pretty good.

Tofu alright.

This one din look so good. So I din taste.

Someone said that there were bananas in the dessert plate. But there were only oranges, honeydews and watermelons. =.='''

Friday

Another school day.

Crack of dawn. In school.

Went to KFC for lunch. And for dinner, we went "Buka Puasa" for the last time before Raya this year.

Friday nite was... Kinda hard to describe...

Saturday

Selamat Hari Raya.
Forgive me for my wrong-doings.
Went visiting. Enjoyed hanging out wif frens. Very full.

Can see me? And yes. I stole this photo.

That nite was also my Grandpa's Bday dinner. More full.

Sunday

Enough about food, i guess. FAT FAT FAT

I listen to

Track listing
01 "Soldiers Make Good Targets" - 4.37
02 "Pass The Buck" - 3.24
03 "It Means Nothing" - 3.48
04 "Bank Holiday Monday" - 3.14
05 "Daisy Lane" - 3.37
06 "Stone" - 4.17
07 "My Friends" - 3.35
08 "I Could Lose Ya" - 3.17
09 "Bright Red Star" - 3.39
10 "Ladyluck" - 3.45
11 "Crush" - 3.56
12 "Drowning" - 5.08

And my favourite is

It Means Nothing

Did we lose ourselves again?
Do we take in what's been said?
Do we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing

You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
'Cos they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When we fly our flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

And the sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
I hope that I'm with you
'Cos I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

Monday

The time is 1.05AM. Monday has just started. I hope to have a great week ahead of me. Ta-Dah.

Dancing In The Rain

2007-10-07T01:52:00.000+08:00

The song is called Malai, which is a soundtrack of a Tamil movie of the same name. Malai means "rain". So i guess that explains why she is dancing in the rain throughout the whole video. Its kinda dramatic. Yet it would be so cool to see someone doing this in real life. Too bad that theres no train station here in Kuching. Perhaps Jalan Keretapi will do... =.='''

Back when i was in National Service camp, this song was a hit, i guess. The Indian girls in our camp performed a dance of this song for some big events. And i think it was the only thing that could attract everyone's full attention throughout the three months there. Believe it or not, i did try to learn to speak some Tamil then. Its really hard to get the pronunciation right, let alone remembering it. Anyway, i cant remember now most of the simple words and short phrases that i have learnt. But it has been an interesting experience indeed.

P/S: Deepavali is about a month away from now.

End of Flash-Back

Every Car You Chase

2007-10-04T16:25:00.001+08:00

I stumbled upon this today. If u have never seen this before, then this may surprise u. Well at least i was kinda surprised.

Every Car You Chase by Snow Patrol & The Police

And the link below is a flash back to a decade ago when 90's pop was considered cool. The corny tune and those cheezy dance moves make this pretty nostalgic. lol
Hear'Say - Pure & Simple

Blink Once:
September has ended.
Wake Up! Wake Up!
It's already October.

Blink Blink:
The Final Examinations are over and done.
The real Summer Holiday begins.

Blink Again:
It's Christmas.
I can't wait for Christmas.

Finally:
Back to reality.
Who am I kidding?
I can't do time traveling, anyway.

Awesome!!!

2007-09-29T01:54:00.000+08:00

This song is called "Apologize". When most people listen to Timbaland's version of the song, i listen to Derek Cate's cover version. Heard of him before? If not, then do check this out.

And i juz wanna mention here that the lyrics of the song isn't what i'm feeling right now. haha

When Will I See Your Face Again

by Jamie Scott & The Town

To me, this sounds like a hybrid of James Blunt and James Morrison.

Or perhaps Adam Levine.

hello hello snap snap snap

Friendster Horoscope for September 26, 2007

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

You're smart enough to know that you don't know everything -- so if you find yourself having a difference of opinion with someone today, try to look at the situation as learning opportunity. Having a healthy curiosity for another person's point of view will earn you their respect -- and turn a potentially prickly situation into a mutually enjoyable exchange. If you're quizzed in a factual area and come up short, the correct information will shed some light on a long-standing problem.

what does it really mean? can anyone tell me?

mooncakes, tanglungs and lotsa party people!!!

2007-09-26T22:45:00.000+08:00

mooncake festival this year is a very special one for me. lalalalalala...

i like this photo only, maybe cos i look fat in the other photos. haha

stopped by at KIA. don ask me why i took this photo. its juz pretty random n nice. met huimei too. she's "partaaaying" at starbuxx wif beatrix, i guess. lolx

behold. i was taking pictures of wilson who was taking pictures of jinthai who was taking pictures of himself. wtf! how bored were we??? haha

the end

wishing everybody...

2007-09-24T18:43:00.000+08:00

Happy Mo.0ncake Festival !!

Outside my window.

=Dear Diary=

2007-09-09T22:39:00.000+08:00

Dear Diary,

As i look forward into the life ahead of me, i see never-ending possibilities. The future remains unknown to all. All i know is that i should stay in the present for now. Do what i should do - concentrate on my studies and appreciate my loved ones more. A familiar voice never stops ringing in my head, saying "DO the RIGHT thing!"

I'm Indonesian

2007-09-05T23:35:00.000+08:00

at heart

These are two Indonesian songs that are really nice and I just can't get tired of listening to them. Check out the lyrics. They're very beautiful.

Tak Bisakah
by Peterpan

Hatiku bimbang namun tetap pikirkanmu
Selalu selalu dalam hatiku
Ku melangkah sejauh apa pun itu
Selalu engkau di dalam hatiku

Ku berjalan berjalan memutar waktu
Berharap temukan sisa hatimu
Mengertilah ku ingin engkau begitu
Mengerti kau di dalam hatiku

Chorus :
Tak bisakah kau menungguku
Hingga nanti tetap menunggu
Tak bisakah kau menuntunku
Menemani dalam hidupku

Ku berjalan berjalan memutar waktu
Berharap temukan sisa hatimu
Mengertilah ku ingin engkau begitu
Mengerti kau di dalam hatiku

Dara kau menjadi hidupku
Ke mana kau tahu isi hatiku
Tunggu sejenak aku di situ
Jalanku jalan menemukanmu

Itu Aku
by Sheila On 7

Ribuan hari aku menunggumu
Jutaan lagu tercipta untukmu
Apakah kau akan terus begini

Masih adakah celah dihatimu
Yang masih bisa ku 'tuk singgahi
Cobalah aku kapan engkau mau

Taukah lagu yang kau suka
Taukah bintang yang kau sapa
Taukah rumah yang kau tuju
Itu Aku...
Taukah lagu yang kau suka
Taukah bintang yang kau sapa
Taukah rumah yang kau tuju
Itu Aaaaaku...

Coba keluar di malam badai
Nyanyikan lagu yang kau suka
Maka kesejukan yang kau rasa

Coba keluar di terik siang
Ingatlah bintang yang kau sapa
Maka kehangatan yang kau rasa

Taukah lagu yang kau suka
Taukah bintang yang kau sapa
Taukah rumah yang kau tuju
Itu Aku...
Taukah lagu yang kau suka
Taukah bintang yang kau sapa
Taukah rumah yang kau tuju
Itu Aaaaaku...

Per-ca-yalah Itu Aku...
uuuuu...

Per-ca-yalah Itu Akuuuuu...
hoo...

dudududududu
dudududududu
haa...

Itu Aku...

dudududududu
dudududududu
haa...

Itu Aku...

Taukah lagu yang kau suka (dududududu haa...)
Taukah bintang yang kau sapa (dududududu haa...)
Taukah rumah yang kau tuju (dududududu haa...)
Itu Aku... (dududududu haa...)

dudududududu haa...

Hey! Itu Aku... Hey!

Kopi-C-Peng (i have ever seen so far)

Nothing was strange about my Saturday brunch until the waitress sent me my drink. I ordered large but i din know how large is "LARGE". I used to think that i have big hands. From this photo, however, my hand looks so freakin' retarded-ly (if there's such a word) small.

Look at its size compared to a normal cup of hot coffee. No wonder everyone there was staring at my drink (and me). Duh... Well, it costs RM 4.00, mind you! I normally spend RM 1.40 (or RM 1.60) only on a drink. I couldn't finish it anyway, so, i had to ta-pao. If you saw me on Saturday and wondered why i was carrying a packet of coffee in my hand, now you know. HaHa.

(And i was supposed to cut down my caffeine intake, damn!)

Wake me up when September ends...

2007-09-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

Malaysia has celebrated its 50th (or 44th) National Day on 31 August 2007. This means that we're already stepping into the month of September, Ladies and Gentlemen. Here i am staying up late, experiencing insomnia, writing this post, just realising how fast time flies, and thinking about many philosophical things in life - the good times, and also the trying times.

Well, i guess i better make good use of this insomnia. Im gonna do some more studying. Wake me up when September ends...

2007-08-23T23:58:00.000+08:00

痛过，才知道如何保护自己；哭过，才知道心痛是什么感觉，傻过，才知道适时的坚持与放弃，爱过，才知道自己其实很脆弱。其实，生活并不需要这么些无谓的执著，没有什么就真的不能割舍。

KL - b4 & after

2007-08-01T00:35:00.000+08:00

b4 KL
just minutes b4 i head to KL... i had my first car accident... its a self-accident... i rammed my mums car into the shoe rack in the car porch... oops... its not entirely my fault... ok... i was speeding i guess... but the brakes got some problems lor... n its raining, so slippery... some more i was thinking if i 4got to pack anything or not... anyways... sienz ah... the car is 'tubit' in front... how serious? erm... donno... whereas the shoe rack ah... can throw liao... haih... the car is now in the bengkel kua... need to stay there for a couple of days lor... n i have no car to drive temporarily... but hey... look on the bright side... at least i din damage the new car... and i din knock down anyone... (could be deadly if i did)

in KL

my observations:
1 - KL lotsa crows. yup. crows. ugly n noisy crows. i was scared that they will poop on me. they din. n im not complaining.
2 - KL is not a beautiful city after all. lotsa traffic jams n oso unfinished constructions. very hectic too. so home *tian* home.
