To a mere mortal, they once thought the world was flat where if we travel to the ends of the earth, we would fall over the edge and never be seen. This time though, the world as we know is vast and the planet we call home, Earth is just part of the solar system we call the Milky Way.

Seeing how wide the world is, one wonders how were they formed. These can be theorize by Darwin followers, or believers of their own respective religions as to how it was formed. Nevertheless I would want to look at what a wide world out there. So what can I do to see wide. Here’s what I am planning to do in the coming month. Daniel will disappear for awhile to a certain place on a backpacking trip and yes, to look at all things wide. This is what will help me.

Just how wide can it go?

Langkawi didn’t just have nice scenery or rather scenes to take photos of. What fun is there if one just go to Langkawi island all alone to take photos without a bunch of crazy people. Those you can play and go crazy and “siao siao” (lunacy) with. Now admiringly there are 9 of us and this is where the fun started.

There was a day where we went for eagle watch on one of the days. For those that visited my facebook album from the previous post, you would know that it’s not easy capturing them with just a 200mm lens. Budget required for 400mm lens. So why not this mighty eagle serve it’s purpose instead.

So just who were the crazy gang? Let’s get them into the picture.

Now how many people do you see there? 7 or 8? (Thought it was 9, duh… Daniel is the one taking this photo) Well, all getting ready to pose for the camera. Some loves to pose with their back exposed like the 2 white shirted people. Wonder what they were thinking? It’s totally weird, wondering why the rest are ready and only 2 people posing like that. Hee… hee…

Do you actually see the 8th person in the photo? Well, if you don’t see him/her there, the next photo might reveal what that person was planning to do when he first stepped into the Island of Langkawi.

Now you know why he loves Langkawi! All for the wrong reason. So WTF right? The rest of us took photos of ourself while he go chat up the white chick at the background. (pun intended… person in the photo please don’t kill me) WAHAHAHA!!!

That was Day 1 and yes, the day past by so fast without doing much. Day 2 was slightly better and more things to witness. It was meant to be a full day activity filled. It was also meant to be the day to buy all the alcohol one needed. For example I bought Absolut, Baileys and a Red Wine. Oppps.. and I just found out I have in stock 3 Baileys at home. (I seriously didn’t know)

Remember that guy above with the orange shirt. Somehow I found someone else with Orange too. Try to guess who. It’s none other than Mr Ma Lao.

Huh?? Who???

Have a look below…

Ta Dah~~~~~ Orange Coat with a long black tail. Hohoho… look alike or not? Wahh~~~~~

Okay does this count as people? Not really!

Forgotten to mention, first day was actually fun. When we were a few hundred meters above sea level. Right on top the Hanging Bridge of Langkawi. Though it’s more of like a sky bridge. This is where Daniel makes his appearance. Well, I should be appearing in my blog right?

Damn… I look so plain. So bored. So not attractive. Of course, because I wanted to make the scenery looks nicer. (What rubbish!!!) It was a magnificent sight to behold, seeing how high we were. So high, we can actually do bungee jump if there was actually one in Langkawi. Just too bad that there ain’t one.

But what I like about this bridge and it’s wide and vast background is that one can pose for the camera. Now how about a pose? Well, who else to do the pose but with Chia Yen.

Nice leh Don’t jealouse can. Both also expert in posing. XP

Heeee… what do you think about the photo? Of course it’s way way way nicer if you compare to the above photo with the one below. The one below is one photo which I wouldn’t want to get caught taking for real. If you’re in my situation, you will understand.

HELP HELP HELP ME

That’s the same guy with the orange shirt and look at what he’s doing now? OMG~~~~ Help me please.

ps : Seriously all photos taken and things wrote here are meant for fun and laughter and to make it look weird. Especially photos with William (yes that guy with the Orange shirt)

I can almost hear my saviours coming to help me, devising a plan to help me out from this problem. Just look at how serious they’re discussing. THe plans, the thoughts, the deep in thought posture, all to help me out from this situation. Way to go girls.

HELP IS ON THE WAY. JUST NEED TIME TO DISCUSS (don’t take too long though)

Before I even know it, there seems to be a solution. Finally the answer is out. They’ve found the solution, none other than one of the crazy gang in Langkawi. None other than our very own eyebrow guy, our Aaron Braces Guy.

Look what he did to save me?

What a good plan. A good message to send. Hee hee hee…. (Aaron don’t kill me also).

So there we have it, photos to see how much fun we had in Langkawi. There are lots of other photos which I haven’t finished uploading and I believe Facebook will be having loads of it. To end this hilarious make believe post, I shall present to you a photo, with dialogue amongst the people who went with Daniel to Langkawi.

What a day we all had!

Signing off now. It’s 2:33am.

Never thought that I could conjure something up like this, but that’s where my weirdness come into place. So do stay tune in the coming future for more posts from the Weird One. Adios.

The smell of the sea, the sight of sun, beach and girls. This sentence reminds me of baywatch (some old series that I used to see when I was like in primary school). Well, too bad though, there won’t be any baywatch girls to see this time around. Keep it for the next visit. This time though, it’s time to revisit my past escapades to an island in Malaysia, Langkawi Island. The place known because it’s tax free.

First day upon landing at Langkawi with my flight ticket, it is as usual with a bunch of photography enthusiasts, non-stop shooting. The sky was partly right, with a bit of haze on some of the days.

It was scorching hot, but you will see many foreigners (from the west) do their sunbathing under the glorious sun. It was so bright and hot, there are even those who have their skin peeled off. Wonder how they can stand sunbathing under the sun with peeled-off skin and all the pus?

It was too hot, till no one plays at the beach volleyball court. Well, what can one expect when it’s like 11am in the morning. Most of Day one was spent taking photos of scenery, looking for a perspective to shoot. At times Daniel wished he owned a UWA (Ultra Wide Angle) lens, let’s say a 10-20mm Sigma to capture the great scene.

Those who known my blog and have been following my blog, will know that I started blogging way back 4 years ago. Well, then after awhile a domain was registerd and then found out that one can earn while blogging by writing articles. Those days blog were full of paid posts that there’s no meaning to the blog.

So then that’s how I started doing PayPerPost and boy, that’s how I earn my first money from the Internet. After like 3 years after I signed up for PayPerPost, it looks like Weird Daniel (the blogspot version) has finally appeared on the Blog Of The Day on PayPerPost website.

Yes, that person is me, and though this is another blog link. But at least I finally made it to the Blog of The Day. Though the one above me seems to be familiar Huei Song. Thank you to ChristinaYY for telling me that I had one of my blogs being blog of the day too.

So What Have I Learnt From PPP

I’ve learnt that Google doesn’t really like PayPerPost. Well, for starters, they penalised lots of blogger for doing deliberate paid posting. For example, my website has a potential of being PageRank 3 with the amount of inbound links. But due to PPP, Google has decided to clear me from PageRank and I was PR0 for the past 1 year. That sucks right?

Secondly, it helps me to brush up my writing skills. Period.

Third, I can’t think of anything. Oh yeah, it made me less weird. (pun intended)

As for now, I don’t think I’ll be doing lots of paid posting until there’s a suitable topic and related to lifestyle.

ps: Yes, the photos will come soon. I know some of you are waiting for photo posts. Be patient.

A strange call came today, while I was doing my work (sort of.. ). As usual work is there when there is. Anyway, what happened was, being somewhat curious as to who call me, the number didn’t register in my mind. The number was 03-21788888, which I later found out was AmBank Customer Call phone number.

Here’s what happened when I picked up the call

A Chinese lady was speaking with weird English in a seemingly powerful Chinese accent.

“This is AmBank Credit Card centre. We have detected a pending transaction of RM3800 in your account. Please press 1 to confirm transaction. Press 2 to talk with our customer service or press 9 to repeat.”

I waited, and the whole thing repeats again.

Well, this was what I did!

While the repeat process was on-going.. “We have detected a pending…….” I ENDED THE CALL!!! MUAHAHA

Seriously I was laughing when I did that and my colleague just opposite me was asking what the heck is wrong with me. I just said AmBank called me with a pending transaction thingy, could be a scam. Well, being someone who is of curious nature, I (Daniel Bruce Lee) went to look for this number displayed on my cellphone on the World Wide Web. Sure enough, it’s definitely AmBank’s service number only that someone is using it as a fraud case to con people into giving information about their personal information.

Now I wonder what would have happened if I just confirm the transaction?

My guess would be:

“Please key in your credit card number and your cv number to proceed”. Or the same as before, forwarded to the so called “Customer Service”.

Darn… I should have played more.
