Shangri-La

Its the time of the year again!!



*Gasps* 48 hours train ride..hope it is all worth it!!

300

I caught the movie last night and was blown away. People expecting a deep plot need not apply. This is a visual feast for the eyes, and it doesn't pretend to be otherwise....stunning visuals, blood, gore and decapitations. I mean it's like this

1) Fight
2) King says some cool one liner
3) They fight again
4) They fight somemore
5) They get owned
6) The End

The fighting scenes were the best I've ever seen in a while, my favourite being the one where Leonidas slashed through a wave of enemies all by himself in slow motion, can you say ballet of death?

Simply beautiful...




Good to hear that it's raking in the earnings, the movie rightly deserves so...

"Our arrows will blot out the sun."
"Then we will fight in the shade."



We march!!

Versus

"To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present, no thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life with meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future."


So to lead a life of happiness or a life with meaning?


You tell me.

Crazy

Hiya. . Sorry for the lack of updates. Work has been nothing short of crazy these days.

So over these days, too many things happened.

Some things wear me out
Some things trigger my tears
Some things push me stronger
Some things keep me quiet
Some things let out my crazy shouts
Some things make me jump around
Some things remind me of those who cares
Some things cheer me up
Some things show the other sides of people
Some things don’t deserve my sacrifices
Some things tell me to let go
Some things hold me and beg me stay

I’m okay.

I wonder why my post ends up so emo. I’m suppose to feel happy now that it is the 2nd month of my new job already. I am not totally satisfied with my work so far, kinda like falling short of my own expectations and I am not going to come up with excuses for myself but I think I shouldn’t feel that bad. I’d done enough.

What more can one ask for. Just look forward, and work harder in my coming endeavours. Everything come and go, follow with this flow and look ahead. Jump into any opportunities, if given to me, I will.

Pardon for this short post again. Going to hit the sack soon and catch wadever sleep I can.

Laters!!

Wrong decisions after decisions. When will i ever learn? I really dont like whats happening to me right now. I hate it and it doesnt feel good at all.

Somebody please teach me what to do. I have run out of ideas!!

Live Musing

From the very beggining of watching Dominic Howard rise out of the "Knights Of Cydonia"
to the great jets of steam and swirling lights that lead out the performance on
"Stockholm Syndrome", the show has flawless in every way.


And not forgetting the great company as well. . =)


Last night's show was an ABSOLUTE dream come true.

Of taxis and Love

Love is just like waiting for Taxi




When you are waiting.. there is no taxi you can find or pass by you..


After awhile you get sick of waiting and you decided not to wait ....

You turned and walk off ...

The moment you turn and walk off .. A taxi passed by .. You missed the chance ..



In the process of walking away ... Somehow you feel that there will be a taxi coming.. You turned back and saw the other person hoping into the taxi ...


But then again I still believe that "Love" is more than just merely analogies, philosophies, or "fate".. it involves timing.. probability and lots of patience (waiting).

If love can be easily deciphered with examples or theories; like reading a textbook.. then it's not love anymore.





Love, or loving someone is never simple at all.











I lied when I said that I would be okay. It's never fine when you go away.

An Apple a day. .

Looking at my iPod now.. so... yesterday.....

Hello 2007, Goodbye 2006

All in all, 2006, there’s hardly anything to wail about.

In fact, It has been good to me.

It has been a year of travels.

I set out with an incredible wanderlust, and found my peace and happiness.

Japan, Vietnam, Bangkok, Cambodia, Hongkong. Just about the places I have managed to squeeze into my schedule and I am grateful for it. Each of these are places I collect and keep close to my heart. Although I wished I had been more daring and traveled alone instead.

Friends were made during my travels as well and listening to their stories really make me feel so small. They took the step of faith and keep going even if they don’t know where they’re going.

I wish I had done the same as well.

Not just for my travels but life in general. How many times have I said NO to the unknown, not knowing what or where it would have brought me to.

I am still young and can still afford to fail.

10 yrs down the road I probably wouldnt say the same anymore.

Have yourself a good one, and see you soon,.


Wishlist for 2007:
1)Backpack to India, ALONE.
They say to conquer your fears is to deal with it face to face.

2)Study

3)Addprimus to grow from strength to strength.


All these doesnt sound very hard, right?

Xin Chao, Sapa

Sapa is a town in the mountains surrounded by many villages home to different ethnic minority groups. We spent a full day walking around the town and exploring the villages that surrounded Sapa. Because of the mountainous terrain, people have to farm on terraced land. The rice paddies were beautiful giant staircases. The weather was great at the time we were there and the views were quite spectacular.

Although the drives to and from Sapa were long, we drove through beautiful mountain passes. The roads were narrow and winded around steep cliffs. Along the way we saw the tallest mountain in Vietnam (Fansipan) and numerous waterfalls.

Now you dont have to endure the long rides I went through, just sit back and enjoy the pictures!!












In Sapa we all encountered numerous children who spoke English very well. Many were younger than 10 and had learned English just from speaking with tourists. All were dressed in the traditional clothing of their respective villages. They sold bracelets, blankets, clothing, and various other souvenirs.
