Moody economy, moody ping

Of late, have been more bad tempered than usual. Even my dreams are all quite stressful!Friends around me seem stressed out too... One is worried about VSS, another is worried about no work, another one has too much work, another one is complaining about no money.



At times like this, i just realised that simple things in life can really put the smile/shine back! I have noticed that Penang is getting more and more beautiful with the amazing flowering " Sakura" Check out http://cuttlefishhand.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html



Food, good food and good company brings laughter. Had been going out to play games and K-session with TT and Botak. We played this new game called MammaMia. It's about Pizzas. TT was the first one to excel in the game where she completed all the orders! Bravo, clap clap... But then Botak boh kam buan! Make us keep playing till he win also. :P Went out for a sunset outing and seafood at Teluk Kumbar with Ivan, YF, PM and Tie. Had a good laugh and some great shots as well. With lots of tips from my sifu as usual. This shot has Mr. Tie in the pic. He always complain that the 3 of us take the same shot. Haha.. i am sure, this one will be unique!





Today was again a Blood Donation Sunday! All the regular volunteers show up, hence i was VSS-ed today. Hence contributed in another way, i donated another pint of blood. Yeah Yeah! Hehe... :) Also donated blood to 10 mossies today! Maybe moody ping has sweet blood! Wei.. smile

Keep playing politics and leave the economy alone!

This is the first aniversary since our political tsunami last year! Well, from the results, it was already expected that there will be endless entertainment for all of us Rakyat. And of course, there's no free lunch, rakyat always pay!

And i am tired of paying.. especially when my pay is cut by 10% already, and am also tired of watching all the clowns (either from BN and PKR).
If they are as good looking as Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, i would complain less.
If i have lots of money, i wouldn't mind so much.

Anyway, what do i expect from the politicians? To be honest, nothing really... So far, i have not seen yet a single move so far that have benefitted the Rakyat. Err. I have no idea where the first 7 billion and recently the 10 Billion Ringgit goes to. Well, maybe some, 70k was found in a suitcase in someone's car :O

Since the politicians will not do anything to help put money in my pocket, they might as well keep acting as clowns, my only request is just make this a low cost and peaceful production! (FYI: A low cost production like Slumdog Millionaire can win the Oscars, if this is any motivation to all the actors/actresses out there!)

How about the economy then, let ???? worry about it. As for normal folks like you and me, we got to depend on ourselves. Emm..On a practical note, maybe i should open a stall by the factories and sell toasted bread and half boil eggs to increase my income.

I am not getting retrenched. FULL STOP

Arrggghhh... i am really tired of the question that require the answer "I am not getting retrenched. FULL STOP"

But then you get some persistent folks that really won't give up, how about 6 months down the road, if the ecomony keeps tumbling down at this rate!"

Arrggghhh.. My answer:"HOW WOULD I KNOW, WHY WOULD I HAVE CARED! FOR ALL YOU MAY KNOW, I MAY BE DEAD BY THEN AND I WOULD NOT HAVE A CARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY OF THIS WORLD BY THEN!"

yeah yeah yeah, these days i am a short fuse and i am impatient... So please stop asking me all these stupid questions. I mean, what is the purpose of you asking me all this? It's not as if you care about me, or are going to give me money or that i am gonna be a parasit to you! So quit aggravating me! You have been warned! SCRAM!

Sunrise at Penang Hill


Took the first train up at 6:30am yesterday morning to go on my first visit up Penang Hill since i think my pcghs days where i used to hike up with the girl guides!

Anyway, I got all my gear ready and Ivan gave me a morning call at 5:30am. We were at the foot of the staion by 6am, bought the tickets and stick on our mozzie patch!

We boarded the first tram up at 6:30am, just the 3 of us in the first car! In the other car was just another pakcik and makcik (carrying their groceries up). All the way till the middle station, Ivan was looking out of the window and giving us running commentary telling at what height we were at! After the middle station, we change into the 2nd tram, which was completely dark! i just stole some time to catch 20 winks, Ivan got bored and keep wanting to drive, as maybe we were getting impatient as the sky starts to lighten up! After this seemingly long 10-15 mins, we finally reach the top. Yeah...

It's was really freezing cold...Very breezy and nice! Haha.. good thing i bought along a hooded jumper! And we happily set up our gear and all ready to shoot!

After snapping to our heart contents, we had breakfast at the hawker stall up there! As we were eating, suddenly Ivan Jumped! A huge dun know what insect landed on Ivan! err.. lots of trouble trying to get it off! Yee Fan helped him. Haha... Luckily it landed on him, if it was on me, i think i would have screamed till the cows come home. After filling up our stomach, we were hunting for more things to shoot. Came across some really gigantic spiders and huge webs! Another finding, insects are huge up there!

All in all, a really good outing!
