Continuing story about my trip to Bangkok.. Day 8 saw me taking a half day tour-guided trip to the Royal Grand Palace & Temple of Emerald Buddha. It was a good thing as I was unable to arrange trip on my own because of my tight schedule. Both located in the same area, which is huge!! I think we spent about 3 hours there, but I still don't feel satisfied :-) You may want to read about the Royal

I am a person who loves this country. Heck, this is where I was born, I belong to this land and this land (supposedly) belongs to me as well. I don't wish to see her dying, but isn't that what is going on lately? I bet if she is able to speak, she will cry her heart out! I'm refering to the political situation, injustice & puzzling verdicts, and the amount of racial issues going around now.

Lets skip Day 3 of my Bangkok Trip. It was all about shopping and I was too tired to snap any photos! :P Day 4 to 7 was all about why I was in Bangkok in the first place. It was for my conference which was held in BITEC (it's something like PWTC in Malaysia). Modern building. The first day of ICN itself was very tiring. Nevertheless, it was nice to represent your country in the largest

I spent my Deepavali either sleeping or walking around like a zombie. Flu/Sore throat couldn't find a better time to attack me and one week later, I'm still suffering! *sigh..That is the bad news. But the good news is I manage to capture the important moments on my Deepavali celebration! I don't know about others, but for me, the Eve is the best of Deepavali. Deepavali morning is not bad either

Life has taken different direction. I know I am someone different from whom I was, lets say 10 years ago. Almost everything have changed - be it physical character, personality or just the way I think. Some have changed for better, some for worse. But collectively, that makes whom I am now.I have tried to refrain myself from going personal in this blog (now that it is being read by huge range of

So, tulipspeaks now will only offer updates once a week till further notice.***Day 2 in Bangkok saw us roaming around with a map.

Will try to update about my trip as often as possible. Here is my account of Day 1: Touched down at Suvarnabumi Airport, Bangkok around 1.40pm local time.Took airport limo to the hotel and I must tell you.. it was a nightmare explaining the hotel

It's my favourite 9-days festival that starts today. It's a festival very close to my heart. As a child, I never failed to go to the temple every day till the festival ends.

I have few so-called policies in my life. One of it being my dislike towards beggars. I don't give money to them. I have numerous instances when friends or even strangers gave me a disgusting look when I just walk past people begging for money. I have my reasons.One - they might be richer than you. I have read a real story in the newspapers about this guy being able to send his son to UK to

I remember the days without computer games  and Internet. I was basically playing with the nature :-). Watching the clouds was one of my favourite 'hobby'. I used to imagine all sort of animals, creatures, things and cartoons made of clouds. It was fun :-). I snapped this photo with my camera phone. So, the quality may not be that good. But I think it's clear enough for you guys to make a guess

In fact it was a wonderful 3-day celebration. Of my 29th birthday. Clockwise from left - Birthday eve @ Mantra, Sunway Pyramid; Birthday dinner @ Bumbu Bali, Puchong & A shared birthday celebraton @ Tg Harapan Seafood Restaurant. This year's Sept 1 (Aug 31 - Sept 2) was entirely different from the last few years. I had enough food to sustain me for a week and sweet memories to be remembered

Back to blogworld after 10 days of break to greet everyone on my birthday. I was born in 1980, which makes me 29 this year. And no, I have no issues of revealing my age. I'm proud of it in fact. Why? - you may ask.. well, let's keep that story for another day.What's in for today? I have 29 random stuff to be presented here. Random because some are more like resolutions, some are announcements,

Dearest readers, I'm going on a short break, probably for about 10 days. And I have given up YM. So, I won't be available for chat anymore, unless you are lucky to 'catch' me in gchat. However, I will still be updating my twitter and facebook from time to time. I'll be back on Sept 1.

This is a question that I have been seeking an answer for.. and that is for a long long time. Why do the guys like to pursue or be with girls who treat them like shit? Now, guys.. please do not go into denial mode or be defensive without listening my points here. I know some of my male friends are extremely cautious when it comes to their pride and no way a girl could be bitchy with them.

This year, I was determined to get up and close with the dogs. No more shooting from far far away :P I befriended the owners, learned important tips and tricks, pet the doggies and take close up shots. They are so

There was a time when I always assume people think exactly the same way that I do. I blindly made conclusions thinking that those around me behave like me. I was under the impression that people can read my mind. Yes, obviously over the time, I realised how dumb I was. People DO NOT think like me. People DO NOT behave like me. People ARE NOT me. I don't know if that is what we call bitter

Calls you (or you call him) everyday while driving to work, during lunch and before going to bed. You look for him the very next moment you need help.And you are expecting yourself to just dump him?Rule #1 is to drop hints that you are no longer interested - that is by staying
