No Redang Cleanup 2007 For Me

Posted by danielctw On September - 18 - 2007

What??? Do I see the title correctly? What do you mean no Redang Cleanup? Yes, it means what it meant to be. This year, I have to forego my Redang Island annual cleanup held at Redang Kalong. Yes, it is the Redang Island situated on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Huh? There was an annual cleanup? You guys/gals didn’t know eh? Hmm have a look at this blog post at eXploitTravel and you might get a clearer picture then. Yes, if you’re diving you’ll get 7 project dives and if possible an additional leisure dive. :( *Cries* I really wanted to go, only that I dilly dally and wasted my time making the decision. Also with the D40 camera that I’ve just bought and also the trip recently in Perth, my financial backing is kinda limited.

Well, there’s always a next year and I can also wait for the upcoming ShoutOut trip in Redang or Perhentian either in May or June 2008. Wheee~~~~

But then I will miss my friend the Morray Eel, Blue Spotted Sting Ray, Puffer Fish, Parrot Fish and many many others. Looks like it’s time to have a few look at my friends there.

Murray Eel

My friend Razor the Murray Eel. Haha.. sorry I can’t help it. I love to give these cute animals’ names.

String Ray

Raymond the Blue Spotted Sting Ray!! Looks like I need to dive again next year to see you too.

Turtle

Whee~~~ Turtles…. it’s so nice to see you there once again. Next year though!

It’s Monday Once Again

Posted by danielctw On September - 17 - 2007

Why is it that everytime when Monday comes on the week, we all feel dreadful. Yes, I feel dreadful too. Kinda weird too, my eyes are not seeing very clearly like it used to. I think if I ever look in front of the monitor more than I should then it’s gonna get haywire.

Funny though I am now typing not looking at keyboard as I wanted to rest my eys. So I am closing my eyes while typing this so called lenghty crappy post. It’s another way to relax one’s eyes and focus on the brainpower. Yup, I have brains ok… Well, it’s been awhile since I put up something random. It also looks like I won’t be going to Redang Island this coming weekend.

Hopefully later I can be back for my basketball game. Yes… gonna start basketball again after a month’s rest or rather 1 and a half month’s rest. When Monday comes, we all hope for Tuesday to arrive. Then Wednesday is the time to enjoy. While the remaining Thursday and Friday is more like rush your work and finish it in order to enjoy the weekends. Yes… that’s what I feel most of the time.

Sad to say, in the field of programming, there’s no ending to work. But at least it’s not mundane. I’ve been studying on weekends nowadays and yes, been tinkering with wordpress php commands. Yes, kind of a bit of hack for those slow moving categories and stuffs. If you’re observant enough, you’ll noticed the difference. When can ‘pang kang’ (off work)?? Fast fast, and boy… am I hungry right now. Gotta find food again.. Cya peeps….

Free Piano Lessons

Posted by danielctw On September - 17 - 2007

I miss my piano classes days. I gave up those times due to the need to travel.

Suddenly, if only I had taken up those lessons and not quit after 2 weeks. Well, luckily for the internet, I found a blog. Yes, I can learn piano once again. Now I can learn all the piano chords at this Piano Chords Blog which is kind of cool. Online learning!!

Browsing thru, I realised this blog actually helps music teachers and students as an additional help. I was amazed, someone at age 94 can play the piano well enough than me.


I guessed it’s time for me to learn the piano once again. This blog writer for Piano Chords Blog really helped me to start learning piano once again. Thanks a lot. I better subscribe to their rss first. Then later I can challenge Aaron on the piano playing part. Hee..

Perth IV – Finale

Posted by danielctw On September - 16 - 2007

Cavernsham WildLife

Here are the other Perth Travel Logs

Perth Part I – Clouds
Perth Part II – Journey
Perth Part III – Park

Looks like another final installment. Yes!!! There are still people who can’t get enough of it. So… here’s the final post. Who wanted to see the Tazmanian Devil. Hmm.. too bad I can’t get a close shot of it. Need a VR 200mm lens. So I need sponsors. One way you can help me is Advertlets.

Yes!!! For those that thought the Tazmanian Devil was extinct, it’s not alright. They are still here and yes, looks like a dog to me. But only fiercer and yes…. they are fierce ok. The only picture I can get, I seriously need a zoom lense. Don’t blame me for getting a lousy shot. It’s too far away I agree. Anyway it was a bit rush but look at the next photo

Carrying a Wombat

LOL… This is a big big creature. Which actually is a rodent that lives underground and it’s super tame. Yes… the Wombat is really cute it loves to hug it’s keeper. Wombat Wombat Wombat!! I should create my logo based on Wombat. Feels nice. haha..

Emu

What the??? An emu this close? Haha… I think this is more common to be seen elsewhere, but then I don’t want this Emu to be left out.

So you’ve seen some of the wildlife, yes, the Tazmanian Devil is finally revealed. Though it doesn’t laugh like a hyena. All this makes me hungry. I should seriously eat. Must camwhore a little bit ok. No one misses me at all???

Dinner Pose

Oh yeah… I realized I can still do the peace sign pose. It’s rare to shoot this kind of photo since a very long time. Got this shot from one of my colleagues. Oh… I just have to end this post once again, with a pose that some people are bound to ask, why you so lansi. Haha!! I can’t help it ok, I love to act serious and cool.

Lansi Pose

Haha!!! I know I know, you are so gonna kill me right? Everyone’s so carefree while I look the pose to be “lan si”(Arrogant and cool, for those needed English translation). So this is indeed the final fixture of my Perth entry. Though I can continue to post more about it, if there was a request made. So anymore Australia photos you need to see, do comment here. If the responses are not much, then I consider this the final post for Perth. Besides don’t wanna bore you all for looking at shots that aren’t interesting right? :P

So danielctw signing off now. It’s 3:27am…
