Sahara Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road @ Dubai, UAE

2012-02-22T00:46:00.001+08:00

According to WIKIPEDIA, Sheikh Zayed Road (SZR) in Dubai, UAE is where most popular buildings are located at such as Emirates Towers, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Metro, etc. Therefore, it is convenient as they literally have all necessities there and its a busy street!

Sahara Tower is at SZR, where Emirates crews stayed. Researched and found out it was an old building and noisy at night as its a busy street. No open windows either. Fingers-crossed, we shall see it with our own eyes.

To be updated soon.

Rumah Terbalik @ Tamparuli, Sabah

2012-02-18T03:41:00.002+08:00

Seems like Kota Kinabalu is focusing a lot on its tourism lately! We have a Rumah Terbalik (The Upside Down House in Borneo) built at Tamparuli, Sabah! Opened to all visitors. Driving from KK to Tamparuli takes about 40 minutes to less than 1 hour. Depending what kinda speed you are driving of course, and traffic condition.

First thing we saw was this upside down Kancil car just right in front of the parking lot. I have no idea how they hold the weight up there. Tonnes of glue and nails?

And beside was an upside down house. That's where we'll be going inside later...

So we bought ourselves tickets at the counter. The staffs are real polite.

Below is the price for foreigners. Whereas for locals, charges are RM10 for adult. Great way to support our own tourism field.

There was a female guide that led us into the house. We were asked to hit that Gong 3 times and knock on the door before entering the house. Its a culture thing.

Before we entered the house, she told us there were 3 rules which we must abide to it.

(1) We are not allowed to touch the objects inside the house.

(2) We are only allowed to walk on the red carpet that's laid inside the house.

(3) We are NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURE INSIDE THE HOUSE. What?...

So what's inside there, you can only see it with your own eyes. It's pretty interesting.

Note : The whole tour took less than 10 minutes. As that was the ONLY house to be visited.

Minutes later, we were led to the souvenir shop....................................................

and THATS it. End of tour. True Story.

It is a very healthy act to support our own culture and tourism industry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Battlestar_Galactica_Human_vs_Cylon_-_nested_tracks.jpg

It was my first time on such "adult" roller coaster, after several moments ponding whether I should try, I decided to switch into "do not hesitate" mode. So I took the Cylon Ride.

There are 2 kinds of ride, one is Human and the other is Cylon. The difference of these two rides was that, for Cylon ride, your legs would be hanging in the air without a platform and the Human ride would be the opposite of it where you can lay your feet on a platform. In a way, you feel more secured.

I would say, 'hmm......... ....... mmmmmm............................... can try'.

Deceiving Ending

"One Last Breath"

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

[x2]
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

[x2]
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe

Life was running as usual today. Monotonous and blank... Until I took an arrow in the knee. The phone was not functioning very well, so I barely hear what was being communicated from the other end...

....UNTIL I TOOK AN ARROW IN THE KNEE, AGAIN.

Pura Tanah Lot @ Bali, Indonesia

2011-12-02T10:30:00.004+08:00

Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) is one of the popular tourism spot in Bali, Indonesia. If you're on a tour package, most probably this place will be included in your itinerary. Wonderful sceneries, monkeys everywhere, structural hills and beautiful sea. On the day upon arrival, there's a celebration/worshiping session conducted by the Balinese people. Not sure if it is an occasional or weekly event. However, their effort in dressing themselves beautifully and carrying the accessories under the hot sun simply gained the respect. It was an amazing experience.

Interesting facts on Tanah Lot Temple

What is "Success" means to you?

2011-11-24T13:40:00.003+08:00

Everybody wants to be successful in their lives. They have their own definition of being successful. But some might be still in search of the answer to what defines success in life. How do you define Success? When you set yourself some goals, and once you achieved them, you called it Success. And how do you feel when you achieved Success? Happiness. Therefore, Success = Happiness.

I used to ask some of my friends, what are the goals in their lives and what do they want to achieve in life to feel successful as if you've reached the end of the running track. One of the repeated answers I've gotten from various people made me wondered for a very-very long time, which was, "to get married and have kids". ARE YOU SERIOUS. IS THAT IT? ANYMORE? Nope. That's it. To get married and have kids. Okthx for sharing.

However, now I finally understand it. Everyone have different perspectives on what defines success in their lives. It is the thing that they wanted to achieve and in return they felt happiness.

What does success means to you then? It may be:

To get married and have kids (I respect this)
To have $---- (be specific in digits)
To open up own business
Own a sports car
Be a model for Victoria Secret
Climb Mount Everest
To become a Director/Higher position in a MNC

It could be anything. But if you haven't decided what are your successes, you might be a bit lost in the purpose of life. Therefore, try to define them today so that 10 years later you won't be looking back and regret, or at least you look back lesser in a bit. : }

Take time off and focus, think about what really makes you happy in life
Make a realistic list and breakdown ways to achieve it
Evaluate your actions and results as you move towards it
Appreciate success and feel the happiness

You need to often remind yourself on your list of successes. We tend to forget them easily and slowly start to do things that does not contribute significant results that support our aims.

Hope you can find your Success in life and wish you enjoy the process of it as much as you can!

How To Locate Stolen Blackberry

2011-10-28T12:02:00.001+08:00

I have a torch light and it got stolen. The moral of the story is, do not take things for granted, cos things will come and take you back for granted. :S

After the ironic experience, I have a thing to share with BLACKBERRY users. Please install BLACKBERRY PROTECT app in your Blackberries. Other than being very annoying consistently asking you to backup your phone, it can trace your lost BB, lock and wipe device, etc. But it only works when your BB is connected to wireless. (sadly. But still!)

You can even Display Message in your lost BB through Blackberry Protect. Like, "@#($*(#@)#$ MTFK" etc. my.tiny.friend.k

Also, you can do Backup and Restore.

But eventually, if its stolen, it. is. stolen already then. Sigh. So sad. Now I'm phoneless. I am a phoneless girl holding an iPhone2g.oldschool that is LOCKED and unable to activate. I don't even have a good start with iPhone, how to even buy it.

Sungai Seafood @ Kuta, Bali

2011-10-05T14:32:00.001+08:00

The first meal was at Sungai Seafood. One of the random seafood restaurant in Bali. =)

The appetite prolly hasn't woken up yet, therefore we only had 3 dishes. The common and sure taste good one, fried egg with prawn.

This is some squid with meat fillings inside. It's... something new to me. The color of the picture is awkward because of the poster scene I was exploring it's effect. The taste was not bad though. I like it.

Hmm... I forgot what was this thing. But it's cabbage on the outside, and something on the inside. I forgot it's taste too. =x

Up till here, I suddenly lost direction for posting this. But I guess, what I wanted to say was, ...... *rephrasing rephrasing*, Food is not something that you should expect much in Bali. But if you're looking forward for relaxation, beaches, surfings, well-built body males, then you can consider Bali.

2011 Formula 1 Singapore Grandpix

2011-09-26T20:14:00.000+08:00

It was at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Yes, I'm viewing it from afar. Maybe the video is suck. But you still can hear the sound of racing cars. It was pretty thrilling for the first 10 minutes, STILL thrilling after 30 minutes.

It's okay if you can't be inside the ring. There's plenty of white screen for you to watch LIVE Formula 1 Grandpix around that area.

Two Years Without Removing Make Up!

2011-09-22T21:09:00.001+08:00

This korean girl never removed her make up for 2 years even when she goes to sleep. But she doesn't look ugly at all even after she removed her make up. I wonder how does it feels with 2 years accumulated layers of make up on face. :s

Art Museum iPod Tour @ The Ritz Carlton, Singapore

2011-09-02T22:45:00.001+08:00

I'm not good in ART, BUT I CAN IF YOU LIKE :D

Some say, love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is Art.

I'd say, Art exists to fill in the gaps of the human lives. Therefore, during Casandra's visit, we took a trip down the Art Museum at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Singapore. It sounds very museum, but actually it's not really.

It's an iPod Self-Guided Tour, which means the reception will pass you a mini iPod to guide you throughout the tour conducted in the hotel and a leaflet which contains pictures and short histories of the artworks that involved. In return, you will need to give them your passport/ID and they'll return it back to you when you've finished the tour and return the iPod to them.

The tour consists of beautiful collections of modern and contemporary art.

The staircase is also part of the tour. Because its The Art & ARCHITECTURE tour. iPod says, "this unique awerijaewiojr staircase is built without pillars supporting iowajroiajer..."

Walking down the staircase and forward few steps, you'll see these 2 magnificent artwork by Moby Dick. I regret that I gave them back the brochure for the tour, because inside it explains a bit of each art. Therefore, I can't remember all. Just Moby Dick. Cos this name was repeatedly mentioned in the tour. Moby Dick, Moby Dick...

These 2 artwork is so big that it takes up the whole wall of each side. the iPod even tells you that it'll let you capture the moment of this art for a while, and it goes into music mode. Considerate iPod.

Tour ends.

Destination Information :

The nearest MRT Stations are Esplanade and Promenade.
FREE tour.
Duration : Total less than 1 hour.
Will I return again? : No. Unless there's friends who eagerly wanting to go.

Shiseido Maquillage's Lasting Stick Foundation UV

2011-08-08T15:52:00.001+08:00

This is quite a good foundation stick because it's easy to apply, good coverage, suitable to skin tone and doesn't results an oily face. I bought it for RM125 from the Shiseido counter. Tell me if you can find this stick cheaper elsewhere. :)

This was introduced by a girlfriend of mine and honestly, I have no regrets buying it. It has a SPF24++, easy to bring out, pretty packaging, and really creates a smooth skin look after applying.

Hope it helps you too! :)
