Spring Cleaning

Posted by danielctw On October - 20 - 2007

Haha!! Spring Cleaning.. err… though I wonder if it’s even feasible to use this word here. Cause in this hot and humid country Malaysia, there’s of course no Spring.

Talking about spring always reminds me of Perth. Haha.. anyway let’s get back to topic. Today was a tiring day, didn’t realised that I haven’t move my back for awhile that doing some house cleaning is really like ages. (for me actually)

Imagine shifting the tables here and there, moving the chairs and also mopping the floor, ya I know I hardly do those chores since I usually back late and wake up late. Only on weekends that I get to experience something else. Some people say that once you started work and if your work time is way beyond the normal working hours is like no life. There’s no life to mingle around on weekdays with work hours until 8 to 9 or sometimes 10pm. Maybe that’s why I should start going back earlier.

I think it’s due to me being not obligated to something. Dang, today another Saturday wasted. It’s still raining.. Crapszzz…

PhotoHunt 80 : Practical

Posted by danielctw On October - 20 - 2007

Photo Hunter

Yes, another time of Photo Hunting is now brought upon us. Yes, this is one hard theme for me to find any photos itself. I was thinking practical. What the heck, I was thinking of maybe finding a building or some sort of a monument to show that it’s practical to be there. Maybe a sign board since it’s practical. But then, realizing me as a out-of-box person, I decided something different instead.

Photos about practical usually show things which human beings made practical, but what about animals or rather Arachnida class type of animals such as spiders. I find spiders to be very practical. From the trap door spiders to the web spinning spiders. Well, due to their practicality, they can find food and build a home, especially web spinning spiders.

So I present to you my masterpiece.

Practical Spiders in Photo Hunters

Awesome architects and engineers they are. So practical to have webs to catch their food and a home too.

Info-Travel in Belgium

Posted by danielctw On October - 20 - 2007

Going traveling is part of my life. Going around finding which best part of the world, to relax and to move around is indeed interesting.

I have been traveling too much inland that I think maybe it’s time for me to do more cross borders traveling like traveling to Europe, since I already did Australia. Hmm.. though it might come more as a hefty price. Well, though in every place one travels, one should also always do a research on the place they wanted to travel.

Take for instance if I were to travel to Belgium, I need to know about the tourist spot, food and hotels. Of course these are done if you’re not following a tour, which is very unlikely for first time travelers. So there’s something like Globetrotter’s LogBook® #6 – Flanders’ Six Divine Cities to help first time visitors and also frequent travelers in Belgium.

Well, seeing it online requires many flip thru pages but getting it as a original pocket-sized, what-to-do guide, as well as notebook, souvenir booklet and mini-travel guide along your travels is way way easier. Flemish Tourist Office has selected the best locations all for this booklet. Of course all good things doesn’t come free!

Anyway as of Press Release here’s the excerpt of the guide.

Experienced city-hoppers will certainly confirm it: Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, is one the world’s top destinations when it comes to the number of ‘wows’ per square kilometer. Which is hardly surprising: where else would you find at least 6 marvelous traditional yet trendy cities under one hour’s drive from one another?Anyone coming to explore historical pearls such as Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Leuven and Mechelen will definitely want to buy the Globetrotter’s LogBook® #6 – Flanders’ Six Divine Cities. It’s a beautifully produced and highly original pocket-sized, what-to-do guide, as well as notebook, souvenir booklet and mini-travel guide. Features 118 top sights-to-see-before-you-die, carefully selected by the Flemish Tourist Office. Compact. Informative. Up to date.
With clear maps and interesting websites for more background information. With telephone numbers, opening times, entrance fees and accommodation details. With plenty of room to include a personal souvenir that captures the memory of every city and sight. For making notes about heaven knows what while you explore Flanders’ Six Divine Cities. Experiences, impressions, favorite addresses, catchy parting words from your traveling companions, the signature of a helpful taxi-driver, or even a handwritten message from your handsome guide. You name it. The more creative you are, the more unique and personal your Globetrotter’s LogBook® will become. Sounds like fun!

Technical or Outspoken

Ranting with Authority

Authority doesn’t mean power and power doesn’t mean authority. Yes, that’s how the way of the world goes. Sometimes even giving your best or being someone smart doesn’t also shows that one can be in power or even authoritative.

Anyway after talking with a fellow friend, life isn’t fair. When you’re so good but people couldn’t see it, they wouldn’t notice you. Duh…. but then it’s a good point there.

Why?? You’re special and no one else knows what you can do, which makes you a double edged sword, destined to be killed and kill. Why do I say this?

In all things, there are secrets which most of us don’t reveal, and with this secrets we can achieved something which others can’t.

Hmm.. I think I am thinking too much again. Must be the clock. It’s 2:35am, I think that’s why!! Guessed I better get some sleep tonight!

Real Brewed Tea (RBT)

Posted by danielctw On October - 18 - 2007

Yes, another drinks and food blog. Though not much to talk about food. But due to it’s name, it’s where one can hang out for a drinking tea session!

Location

Lot 6F-16, 6th Floor, Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur
Opening Hours: 10am-midnight (daily).
Phone: 03-2141 9020

I’ve been to this place RBT for like a few countless times that I think it’s time for me to at least put a small note about it.

Drinks Galore

Of course it was a time to galore with your drinks and stuffs. Yes, they have many varieties of drinks which I had a problem choosing. Of course one glass can cost up to RM8 though. Surprisingly no one ordered bubble tea. But then it was time to feast on the food. Well, nowadays I am very fond of fish and chips due to having satisfied with the fish and chips in Perth, thus what else. Fish and chips on the menu.

Fish and Chips

It looks appetizing eh? But then the wonders of photography even on the advertisements. Too bad they’re using fries as the chips. I wished for chips :( . But knowingly this is Malaysia, helpings are usually smaller and definitely not as big as the ones I had in Perth. Looks like if I wanted to eat fish and chips, I need to either go Manhattan Fish Market or TGIF or Chillies. Hmmm… compare the plate and the fish fillet. Awesome!!

Perth Fish and Chips

This is amazing. The size of the Fish!! I was full before I can even eat the chips.
