MERDEKA!

August 31st, Malaysia will be celebrating its 46th year of independence. People from all walks of life will be celebrating Hari Kebangsaan (National Day) in their own manner. Veterans, who actually fought for independence would celebrate perhaps with a prayer, to Malaysia's future and perhaps to their fallen comrades. The generation who were born before 1957, would remember the anticipation of the country achieving independence. The generation post independence will celebrate National Day as it is today,with performances being organized to usher the stroke of midnight. Party revellers would party all night long. From humble prayers and supplications to mad parties, Malaysians around the world will be proud of the nation's 46th birthday.

Meeting "The Reader"

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet The Reader or Abedib as he is fondly known by his circle of friends. Abedib wanted to include his Tag-Board on his blog at Typepad. Failing to attach the HTML code to typepad interface, he created a weblog on blogspot called Wakaf to host his Tag-Board.

I was finding ways to include my Tag-Board and some webrings on my blog. After a bit of googling I found a comment this site, with instructions to include HTML codes on TypePad's Typelist. One attempt later and voila!, I have my tagboard and my webrings on my blog.

Mo' Cigars

On sunday, i managed to pop by at Davidoff's KLCC. My intention was to replenish my Avo Puritos stash (I have only one left). However, the lady informed me that they have ran out of the Puritos, only the Avo Domaine is available. I have tried the Avo Domaine. Foa a small cigar it is a bit too stong, considering that you could finish it in less than 30 minutes. I prefer the milder Puritos.
I decided to checkout other smokes in the walk in humidor. My first choice would certainly be one of the tubos.

Requiem for a cat

Once upon a time there was a cat who yearned to fly
Everyday he would look at the birds flying from his master's window
Sometimes he would sneak upon them and attempt to catch the birds
He prayed and prayed and asked God to give him the ability to fly
One day an angel came down from the heavens and gave him a pair of wings
The cat was so happy, he flapped his wings and fly away...
He flew with the birds, through the clouds and played with the angels and the fairies
He felt tired and wanted to go home but he is lost
He asked the angel who gave him his wings the directions to his home
The angel replied, "This is now your home"
The cat said, "But i miss my master"
The angel smiled and said, "Don't worry my dear cat, when the time comes your master will come home too..."
From the heavens above, the cat looked down on patches of green and blue and earth as he wait patiently for his master

New Gallery Uploaded

I have uploaded Digital Fugue III to the photo gallery section in Digital Fugue @ Typepad. Well actually, it is a collection of existing galleries at the digicam gallery hosted at geocities. However I have yet to include the caption for the photos. One minor problem in TypePad is you have to edit the photo captions one by one. Would it be easier to edit them all at onece. Imagine having uploaded 20 images and then you have to edit the captions one by one. A bit time consuming especially when you're on dial-up.

In the waiting line

I can't seem to get this song out of my head. Chillout and enjoy...

Wait in line
‘Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Pre Chorus:
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Chorus:
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see

Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Bridge:
Ah and I’ll shout and I’ll scream
But I’d rather not have seen
And i'll hide away for another day

Chorus

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

In the waiting line, Zero7 feat. Sophie Barker

Kedah

I have posted some photos i took while on a site survey trip in Kedah. Head over to the Kedah Gallery. Enjoy!

Back in KL

Finally i'm back in action. I did try to update the blog via mobile blogging but somehow rather only one got through. Apparently Celcom was having some sort of technical difficulties in the sms email relay system. Anyway, here's a recap of the trip.

Sunday
Left KL at 3:45pm reached Sintok at 8pm. Spent the night at UUM Inn. Bad choice.
Dinner at Kuala Perlis (Best Ikan Bakar!, too bad no pics).

Monday
From Sintok we made our way down to Jitra then to Kulim. Managed to get a state map and covered 5 sites in Kulim District. Then we move up to Padang Besar and crossed border to Thailand. Spent the night at Padang Besar, Thailand.

Tuesday
From Padang Besar, we shoot off to Kuala Perlis and took a ferry to Langkawi Island. We managed to cover all 4 sites in Langkawi. After that, we took the cable car up Gunung Mat Cincang (breathtaking view!). Dinner at one of the seaside seafood restaurant and head back to the hotel.

Wednesday
Took a ferry from Langkawi back to Kuala Perlis and covered 14 sites in dictrict Kubang Pasu and Padang Terap. Left Kedah at 6:30pm, reached KL at 10:30pm.

Phew... That's almost like a Mentri Besar's schedule! ;)
Now we have to prepare the tender and submit before the end of this month.

Out of Town

In a couple of hours time, I'll be driving 300 miles up north to Kedah to do a site survey. The site survey will cover all of Kedah but we are going to focus on one sector which consists of 20 sites. The survey will take 3 to 4 days to complete. Updates will most probably be via mobile blogging.

Other than that, I have updated three galleries, two galleries are from the Digital Fugue Galleries and i have created a new gallery called Lettuce Eat!. Drool! Enjoy! :)
