It’s a Dangerous World Out There

lang tengah, an island off the coast of terengganu which i will set foot on next saturday. it is located roughly halfway between pulau redang and pulau perhentian, and is connected to the mainland by ferries to merang.

if you directly translate lang tengah to english, it means “an eagle restin in the middle of the island”.


d’coconut lagoon, the resort i will be staying

nice leh the resort… but hey, i’m not goin there for holiday okay! i’m goin there for mct‘s proposed teambuildin module, called structured outdoor survival (s.o.s). it ain’t gonna be a laze-all-you-want-till-we-go-home vacation, but a tirin lack-of-sleep-and-need-more-sleep “vacation”.

it will be a 3 days outin to lang tengah, startin friday midnight where i’ll be departin from mct, uep subang jaya by bus. it is said to be a long 8 hours journey to the jetty in merang, and another 1 hour ferry ride to the island. man, this is like travellin to singapore from sitiawan!

the best part of all is, the list of things to brin along for the program…

6. one face towel, ‘good morning’ type (that sounds funny)
11. torchlight & extra batteries (are we jungle trekkin at night?)
12. a penknife (okay, let’s start stabbin each other)
13. herbal insect repellant (why must the “herbal” word be there?)

i was also told that we need to build a “pondok”, cook whatever we can lay our hands on (that’ll be our dinner, so no catch equals no dinner), and build a boat which floats out of things we can find on the island. feels like lost eh, except without planes crashin and weird encounterments.

i will be postin up photos of the trip, so don’t you worry. for the meantime, i would like to tell you that somethin happened this tuesday.

i was a little late for work, and was climbin up the stairs when, upon reachin up, i noticed some wires danglin around and some colleagues of mine were standin outside the door, chattin away. when i walked past them, i overheard one of them sayin that there was a break in the night before.

bein the not-so-kepo one, i waited till evenin before i confronted a lady from the human resources department and started bombardin her with questions. she said that the burglars (suspected more than one) managed to climb into the office 1st floor back window, disable the alarm system, and head straight to the executive director’s room (my uncle is the chief executive director, which is this case is not his room).

what amazed her was that somehow, they know there are important stuffs kept away in the safe inside that room. just so you know, that safe is as tall as me! luckily, the janitor sleepin in the office was startled by the noise made when the burglars broke the door, and quickly dialed the number of a nearby police station.

within minutes, a police patrol car arrived at the scene. they weren’t smart enough though, as they came in from the front entrance whereas the burglars who overheard the police siren, escaped from the back. they seemed the know the placement of the cctvs well in order to disarm the alarm and avoid the cameras. thanks to the janitor’s quick judgement, nothin was stolen.

Paris (Day 2)

We originally planned to go up Eiffel tower in the morning. Which means we might need to go queue at 7am cuz it's a sunday. But due to the extreme tiredness from the previous day, not mentioning spending the night in the bus, we decided to postpone it to the third day.

We started our second day to Musee du Louvre. Everyone knows what it is and everyone knows what's inside. There were too many state-of-the-art sculptures and exquisite paintings it was impossible to appreciate all of them. We managed to see a lot of them though. And yes, Mona Lisa has never failed to gather the most crowd. But well, Nike of Samothrace and Michelangelo's Rebellious Slave and Dying Slave have their own fans as well.

A pic with Pyramid Inversee before we entered the museum.. Tat guy behind very 'cho teng' la..hehe..

Louvre. Very sunny day..*happie*

Our next stop was Notre Dame. It was a sunday when we went, so there were many people in the church. I wondered if the visitors were a distraction for them.

A miniature of Notre Dame

Based on my map reading skills..ehem ehem..we managed to walk to the Pantheon. However we didn't enter cuz the entry was 7 euros and we thought that we would probably leave that place after 15 minutes..hehe..

We then went to Jardin du Luxermbourg. It's apparently a very famous park. I was pretty amazed actually. I mean the park has museums, palace, water fountain and sculptures everywhere. We had our moments there, and then proceeded to St-Sulpice. I imagined it to be small. But it turned out really big..hehe.. Anyway, we had the chance to see the original zero-longitude line, the Rose Line.

The Rose Line

We had dinner at Chartier. Well, the decoration was plausible. But we had a rather unpleasant experience there. N the food wasn't exactly good as recommended in the survival book we had. In short, highly not recommended..hehe..

The deco in Chartier..

We then went to Eiffel Tower to catch the night view. But we soon realise that the night view was way nicer than the day view!hehe.. N considering the queue wasn't long, partially thanks to a concert held near eiffel tower, we decided to go up eiffel tower during the night. N the view really didn't disappoint us! It was..ooo...romantic..hehe..

Taken by my digital camera from the top of eiffel tower. Not bad eh?

Thanks to some tricks using my sony camera, it looks like sunset eh?hehe..it's actually already dark.


This was the actual lighting.

N finally, to sum up our moments on Eiffel Tower.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Here In My Home

Hey peeps, I happen to come across this video on the Internet. Thought that I might share it with you. In my initial hearing of the song, it isn’t very ‘smooth’, I must say. But on my second hearing, I found it very likable.

There are many artists that came together to produce this song for free. Their aim is to promote unity and everything is explained in their site at http://www.malaysianartistesforunity.info/. Somehow, I think the lyrics in the song reflects the political atmosphere in our country at the moment. I think I shall refrain from commenting anything political; I don’t wanna sit in jail under ISA.

When I heard of this song, I suddenly had a homesick feeling….. Guess it is only natural, cause I do love Malaysia a lot.

“Nobody Listens To Techno”

that’s a quote from Eminem’s earlier song….”without me”….I generally don’t like techno too…i think sometimes techno music is abit tardish…so imma show u guys the finest example of techno-tardish…

PS….i don’t mean to offend techno / electronic music lovers out there…but how can one ‘rave’ to this kinda music??
