Lambir Trip 2010 5:57 PM

Pretty views right?

Had a great time at Lambir Hills National Park with Catherine and Julia. This was my and Julia's first time stepped into Lambir. Overall the trip was quite tiring but felt so good when we saw the waterfalls. The water is so cold and refreshing!

There are few waterfalls in Lambir. Now we're at the big waterfall.

P/S: No wonder the construction speed is slow:

Don't call my name, Alejandro 1:25 AM

Video premiere of Lady GaGa's new single "Alejandro".



Well, this video is in contrast with her previous epic video "Telephone" featuring Beyoncé.
(which I've watched more than 20 times! I LOVE that colourful video!)

This video :
- 8 minutes;
- in Dark to Black & White;
- with Military theme;
- with little Gay theme [seems it's far little than what she said previously];
- Simple [no specific storyline like short film];
- Few costume changes [with an upgraded 'gun' costume];
- (can be considered as) Unexpected ending.

I actually expected more as this video is the most anticipated music video these days.
The video should have more plot and actions than dancing sequence.
So in overall, this is an OK video. Not her greatest but... it's still GaGa-ish.

Anyway, looking forward to her next videos!
P/S: and... Hopefully "Monster" will be released as a single~

SC GATHERING 2010 [Raw Edition] 9:20 PM

Attended to Student Council 'farewell' gathering at Tulika's house yesterday night.

Foods (except KFC that bought by Chuma) are made by many of us.
Dickson, Aaron and I made the famous potato salad that gone very soon.

anyway.. me, Dickson and ShaeNee stayed at the gathering for just a short while as ShaeNee was sick, so both of us accompanied her to Columbia hospital.

However, we had a great chat after we came back to Tulika's house.. of course all the SC members left already, so we stayed and shared our stories etc until late night. And also, flashing lights time!

RAUNCHY EDITION (not seen on facebook!)

-------------
Oh yeah, forgot to tell ya all that five council members are leaving.
They are: Tulika, Suhas, Tendai, Velcon and I.

See ya all SC 2010! I'll miss everyone of you. :)

Hari Gawai @ Rumah Ampik 2010! 11:14 AM

Me, Catherine, Shae Nee, Li Ming, Dickson, Aki & Mei Mei visited Rumah Ampik yesterday afternoon. Thanks to Catherine who invited me to join!!
We received warm welcome from Tuai Rumah, had a tiny volume of Tuak (yes I tried to drink a little! Luckily it was not that strong bt the way,) and a delicious light meal - especially Dickson who're CRAZY for the deliciousness of the foods... haha!

Dickson mingled with the kids

Ok, and I also tried to drink the 'white one'... guess what, it's a strong alcohol that made by themselves! Oops... I don't drink alcohol, so I tried to add very little of it into Coke and drink it.

We went to few houses and eventually tasted different tuak.. what's more, all the tuaks and alcohols are made by the villagers too! So each house has a unique tuak taste.

I tried to finish the tuak but couldn't.. Oh well...

Thanks to Catherine and Aki who helped me to take that shot!

Overall we had a great and happy afternoon at Rumah Ampik. All the joy/laugh, my/our tuak experience, delicious foods, and also: friendship!!

Hopefully there's a chance to visit Rumah Ampik again~

Thank You, Tuai Rumah & Rumah Ampik! Cheers! ^_^
