A tragic incident strikes into the very heart of fellow Kuantan teenagers this week. If you have read in the papers today, a 17-year old guy has just lost his life in a horrendous car wreck involving a motorcycle and an automobile. I cannot read Chinese so for further explanation you would have to refer to others or read the papers itself.


My sincerest condolences to all of his family and friends who has been there for him while he was in coma for a day before succumbing to the other world. I may not have known him very well, infact I don't even think he heard of my name before but as a fellow person to another, I'm feeling really bad myself. He is only just about my age, when times of fun thrives and joy of ending our high school adheres but unfortunately his time has come to a halt was quicker than his. Much quicker.


I held no rights of posting this about him nor the incident. If any of you who's reading this is against me, I will not oppose your decision and take this post down right away for I am only sharing my grief just like any other people who may have known him.


Some people's life around us are inevitably shorter than the other. You never know when the Grim Reaper would be knocking on your front door. Let us all appreciate the friends we have around us now, because it might be your last word for them.

So here I am, presenting to you;

The Last Dance of Khai Ther.





May you rest in peace up above. Amen.



~*~..

Far below the city's glow
Lie the flowers blooming in the shadows
They comfort me, saving me
From all I see

Then you came with eyes of pain
Haunting blue and gentle
Like a spring rain
Silently beckoning
For a love to cease your inner tears

I belong here with you
Though the earth cries inside me
I will fly
High into the storm
Far from the light
I will be strong

Because they need you
Because I love you
You close your eyes now
I will be gone
But my love for you will go on

Darkest skies, hollow eyes
But the stars burn brighter
Than you realize
It may be destiny
That sheds our tears

You must leave me behind
Though the night howls inside you
You must fly
High into the storm
Far from the light
You must be strong

Because they need you
Because I love you
You close your eyes now
And I will be gone
But my love for you will go on

November, November...

All the reasons in the world why he can be such an impact to me!

PS: Current favorite player: Ryan Babel.

Last week, [Gemini]Miracle aka Winson Ng Chee Kai came all the way from Perlis to Kuantan to meet up with us, his fellowDOTA friends whom we've been playing all along since the beginning of 2009. Once he made a promise to come but I took his oath lightly, never to expect he would actually come - -





The first day I took him for a walk up the Pelindung Hill as Quek and Jordan tags along. We went back to the place where you can see the whole of Kuantan, but unfortunately the place was marked "No Entry". Who cares, anyway? We hiked all the way up here and then we cannot enter the place?

It was about 1820 when we reached the top of the hill and just in time for the sunset.


IT WAS MARVELOUS.


















Looked like the day Hiroshima got pan-caked during WWII.











Underneath the dark fog lies Kuantan.





My favorite shot of all time.





"Even the day has to give way to the night."






By the time we reached the bottom of the hill, it was about 1925 already. It's so dark, you could hardly see anyone standing infront of you, if there should be one. As we were ascending in total darkness, there's a few elderly peoples going up too. WTF?


Winson stayed here for 5 days and spent a total of RM1,000 during his lengthy endeavors here; mostly on foods. We took him to Saffron's burgers, Sendo No Ya's, TC's Chicken Chop and T&L's fried mee and etc etc. You bet that I can gain weight whenever he's around, but my metabolism isn't as fast as Kuan's though. lol.


We had good jokes and laughter during the short 5 days he'd spent in Kuantan. It is good to finally meet someone in real life when you know them online the first time. At first I thought he was really tall and had gangster-like attitude, but it turns out he's smaller and shorter than I was LOL. Everyone was amazed, but his duck-like voice did not change though. hahaha.









In the picture, from left; Jordan, Winson, me, Wong.
Not in the picture; Kuan as cameraman and Lee at home.



Had one of the most awesome[st] weeks ever in my life, special thanks to those above and everyone else who hung around with. I hope all of you did not regret watching Phobia 2 because it certainly rocked my week especially with you guys.






On Halloween's Night I was asked to go for a party by Yan who is prompted by Syman who is also prompted by his friend I think. Couldn't say anything much except that I made some new friends and the guitar lessons starts to deteriorate now.




I looked so white and pale, even the vampires would be jealous of me. lol.






Check it outttttttttttttttt. Taylor Swift in straights wtf. *stabs eyes and self in awe*

Aruni's 16th birthday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote: About 14 months ago, I once slipped and smashed my head into the solid, tough planks of a cupboard. On the side of my head was a bulge for several weeks... and for the following 6 months, I had severe headaches whenever I tilt my head even when I'm sleeping. The pain was so intense I felt like I wanna puke, I did not seek medical attention because I had no clue what was wrong! Only a few months ago only I realize. Damn.

Could that be the reason why I always forgetting things? lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Happy 16th Birthday, Aruni. Regrettably I was a Malaysian that night though I kept the racist jokes at bay but one. My sincerest apologies though because I did not had dinner with all of you, I wasn't feeling really well.

PS: Below are the pictures I stole from Rainier Villareal. Wahahaha.











This is the first time I see a NORMAL SYMAN in a photo.




Ridhwan: AAAH! THE FLASH!






















"..please don't tell her..."


















I really hate the red-eye effect... and the flashes blinded me.
















I did take a picture of the cake when the candles are lit. I'll send it to you Aruni when I finally upload it to my PC.



I had a good time with the laughters and such, primarily Syman as the subject with his "MMM, I LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK!".





Anyways, yesterday I felt really terrible. It all started when I skipped the trip to Taman Gelora's Dogs' Fest. Then in the afternoon, my friend asked me to play football along with him at Taman Gelora with the seniors. Since I had nothing better to do, I agreed. Shooting and quick-movements are still restricted but I'm improving on the passes.

After that, William fetched me home where I quickly dressed up and Yan came. At that moment my head felt heavy, I thought drinking water could help but instead it gets worst and it makes me wanna puke. I didn't had dinner that night and I didn't finish my slice of cake. Don't get me wrong, it's a really good cake; chocolate & cheese woot. And it was I who chose not to take my dinner, so don't feel bad eh, Aruni.

When I got back, as I was about to go for a long shower, I noticed something missing in my pocket. I took out the keys, the phone but wait, where's my WALLET? Within a blink of an eye, I leaped around the house and in the car, looking through in every nook and cranny but to no avail. I must've dropped at Crocodile Rock, which I did went back after that. I searched inside the place but it's actually dropped outside at the parking yard. I didn't lose anything though someone parked just right beside it lol.

During my quest to find my precious wallet back, I've had flashes of what sort of things would happen had I've lost it.
  • Cash of course, I had over RM350 inside that night; saving it for a particular event.
  • My driving license wtf!
  • My IC -.-
  • A limited edition sticker of Predators' FC from Adidas.
  • But above all, it has to be Jason Mraz's and Lee Hom's concert ticket hahaha. No way I'm going to lose them man. No, not this time. No, not this lifetime.


What is even more intriguing is that earlier this year, when I came to Croc Rock during Chinese New Year. My angpao mysteriously disappeared when I took a trip to the men's room and it was not on the table anymore as I returned. High and low I have searched but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Radiate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotobucketNote: Should I go for the Dogs' Carnival 5 hours from now? Shit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Most people regard this as a extraordinaire phenomena, but I've seen such events countless of times cause my room is facing the balcony, I look up to the sky most of the time.

Well unless you're not from Kuantan, then allow these pictures to do my explanations.








It's a glowing ring of light formed around the moon. I do not know what is it called but I bet you get the similar sight if you ask a friend of yours to shine a torchlight towards you at a distance during night time.








It is a common sight if the sky is clear when the moon enters the full moon phase. But nevertheless, Mother nature rocks!

Namewee in action again.

I admire his bravery and courage yet some people hated him for his rudeness and choice of language but seriously, what he have expressed are the true truths we've kept along.

If your house keep having black-outs, I bet you'll be dulan pissed as well, right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I nearly forgot to blog about the part when me and Kiang went for a stroll around Cherating's beach several weeks ago.











Unlike Teluk Chempedak, it's really clean over there. What surprises me even more is that it's super duper windy.





Waitin' on the world to change.







I love this picture the most, but sadly the angle isn't wide enough. Time to get a new lens?





I had to tip-toe my way close enough to get this snap.




On the surface of the boulders on the beach, lies these tiny little clams? It's enough when you look at it but it's actually alive. They close their shells when you touch them. Yuck.



I bet you Kuantaners must have seen those tiny little crabs living on the beaches on TC right? You know, the ones that burrows into the wet sands and working ever so tediously turning them into balls?



Perfect camouflage.





If you've watched the Pirates Of The Caribbean film, this rock must be familiar to you.





ANYWAYS,



I took another good look at my collection of photos once again earlier and I just found out it's been a well 365 days since I made a vow never to ride the almighty Solero Shot again.







It is also the time when Selak Clan was made and briefly active for some time. Times when we play cards all night long in the room, thus emerged the infamous video.






The whole trip there was great, nothing went wrong and none so did got into our plans but one.






The part when we have to queue up for about 45 minutes for the cable car. It was hot, crowded and some sort of stench severs the air.






Precious time was never wasted, not once. To be honest, I had no idea how did the photo above was taken. It all happened spontaneously. It looks like we're lined up against the wall, blind-folded and ready to be shot. Huh.






The view of morning Sun blazing over the clouds at 7000ft above sea level was majestic. The morning dew forms on the windows as the chilly gusts of wind cuts to the bone, added to the fact that I have 5 other friends snoring behind me prior this photo was taken.















The sheer brute, high-pitched, blind rantings of the Selak Clan intensifies as we sail through the dark tunnels of the Dinosaur Land on a boat. With the elements on our side; a cave to amplify our presence and the darkness for us to remain hidden, we let loose.














Let us all drop the part where I was the main subject for the tormenting teases I've been going through during the entire trip...



To think back then... I'm a person who's really afraid of heights. My legs go weak and my feet turns cold whenever I'm elevated from the ground, whether I'm actually there or if I'm just looking at a photo taken at a really high ground or something like that. But---







I took a ride on that monster that day... and vowed never to return to that wretched piece of machine yet again. I mean come on, I don't even like roller-coasters!





It is without a doubt, inevitably that all good things must come to an end---- so it shall be.

This has to be the best group picture, period. Except for the old lady standing behind... that one is scary. Don't blink your eye.
