hey all. long time since pictures have appeared. i am trying to find a new blog skin, but gimme some time cos ive been really busy. my schedule's almost always packed all the way!alright, i think that EARTH IS really huge. after seeing pictures, i realised that there is more than what i know and can see! and since i aint got enuff moolah to go to every place in the world, i watch travelling shows and see pictures and magazines. and perhaps you dont know but my ambition is not to be an accountant/doctor/lawyer blah blah but actually a TRAVELLING SHOW HOST. yeah. that. like anthony bourdain ^^ and those on discovery travel and living, lonely planet...
below are real pictures, not taken from any website:
1. SYDNEY
business district
fountain place with lotsa flags of other countries
sydney harbor bridge
luna theme park. free entry! only pay for rides you seat
world heritage site (for dunno what's sake) - sydney opera house
sydney fish market. just look at this picture alone. explains the fact that australia has many asians.
random picture outside the fish market.
2. khasab, oman (middle east/persian gulf)
this country is almost totally made up of concrete. air is stale and little vegetation thrive. akin to a desert environment.
the blue thingy in the middle is water, if you wonder. how blue... if you compare if to singapore's grey-greenish waters!
but the waters abound with fish
toldcha this place is full of concrete. the small thingy in the middle is actually a fourwheeldrive. how small it seems.
its not hills in the background, but rather, hills of concrete
3. mundra, gujarat state, india
you have an impression that its dirty, desolate, poor and not very clean. well thats SOME, but not all parts of india. instead of seeing that scene, i introduce to you the rich and wealthy side of india. when i think of india, i think of the english teacher, the book that was my o level text. i wonder if malgudi's lawley extension looked like that >>
hotel at mundra
this is their highway, their america's route 66. its kinda narrow, have no designated lanes. hopefully no vehicle derails or it will cause mayhem, i reckon.
expansive land.
4. bilbao, spain
central bilbao
hey! the spider has moved across 2 continents and thousands of miles!
central bilbao
hey! the spider has moved across 2 continents and thousands of miles! if you dont get what i mean, this is in bilbao...
while the same thing is in roppongi district, tokyo, japan. how coincidental, eh?
bilbao wet market. im sure this image will enrage animal activists. and its rather disgusting. behind those beheaded heads are sausage stuffed with their meeat. totally EW , just dont display the heads, please.
typical scene of a wetmarket in spain
still bilbao
historical places, looks like those in prague, czech republic!
i wonder if they hired the same architect in both bilbao AND in prague. the pictures look uncanningly similar.
narrow streets atypical of european countries.
nice place, eh!
yeah these are some of the places that are really beautiful and after watching discovery travel and living almost every moment, there are so many more places that are breath taking. totally impossible to have 'around the world in 80 days'. more like 80 years!

look out for updates - hongkong - dec 07 and korea, jan 08.
till then , i gotta save lotsa moolah. thats why if i dont go out or hang out with ya'll or suddenly become so money conscious and am aware of where every penny goes, you know the reason. im saving up, to pay for everything when im overseas. financial crisis - in progress, struggling, and hopefully i can make it through! difficult, but will sure be worth it ^^

if you think my life is all fun, here's an insight to what a lazy day for me is:930-10 wake up
10-1030 breakfast : frozen yoghurt (yoplait)/fruit parfait, apple juice, knackebrod/waffles with maple syrup
1030-12 watch movie
12-1245 swim
1245-115 suntan
115-2 sauna
2-3 lunch-tea: green salad, macaroons of different flavors, scones/cake, lemonade
3-5 sleep, watch tv
5-6 do some work
6-8: play piano/learn a language
8-930 - dinner: pita (with fillings)/tapas , pasta/rosti, salad of a differnt kind, lobster bisque/mushroom soup, enbarsdrika
(if theres sth on schedule, then plan changes from 6)
okay this sounds like some couch potato/lazy pig/ food gourmet's lifestyle
haha i am a food connoiseur and that is sth i cant deny
after o's, go brazilian/swedish/spanish/french with me okay!

i must say this.WHAT THE BLEH!
today's lit consultation and some ppl from ep decided to gatecrash (oops) so oh well. e more e merrier.we didn't have questions to ask anyway.
so this weird guy from cr comes in (shant say the name but its pretty obvious). he talks weirdly, looks weird and IS very weird. its not that i care about looks and didn't mind e ep ppl gatecrashing (because they look quite normal). but e moment he came in i couldn't stop laughin.
so he comes in and even though mr soon aint his teacha,
"hello mr soon. (stutters and mumbles incoherently). can i zzzzoin in? i hv a fiu questions'
we are good ppl so we allowed him in.
some weird lines from him:
'so do we have tuu compant (thats what i heard) the sources. must we use the compant' this sentence was reiterated like 5 times and no one understood.
'so what about the eeeeshu (bah blahblah)'
all these while yiting and i kept laughin to ourselves and it was quite bad i admit but we couldn't help it. there was this point where i just couldn't stop shaking and tears actually came out cos i was laughin like some loco freak.
then, everytime we laughed, the opposite guy saw and he wuld steal laugh (they say its tou xiao). i like -steal-laugh- expressions they're hilari0us!\
after the ep ppl went off the cr guy insisted to say. mr soon was being quite funny and mean cos he kept saying shoo and go away and stuff like that to the guy. cos afterallwe booked him and are his students, not that guy. so the cr guy was like pleading. and we settled that he could sit in but couldnt say a word or ask to elaborate. how mean!
haha enuff of that incident
anyway the results thingo is out on the ugly green canteen board near the vending machines.
yiting counted that 32 (OR 34 cant remb) of our whole class ARE ON THAT LIST! HOW GREAT! i love me class keep it up pple!
okay so monday is a big day and tuesday is a even bigger day. this weekend's gonna be tough. lets pull through and hope that my disgusting inconsiderate loud and uncivilised new (ind***) neighbours would cooperate and maybe realise that they need to lower their tv volumes, talking volumes, jingles of their bangles (maybe due to dancing in preparation for deepavali),considering to cover their mouths when they sneeze and not sneeze so loudly like theres no tmrw and make my bed and walls vibrate and lastly, to just GET OUT OF MY SIGHT (not literally) and mAKE THEMSELVES UNHEARD AND UNSEEN AND WHATeVER.
(see above paragraph. in literature, run on lines are indicative of a state of mind. go figure)
