Visit To Kuala Terengganu

Posted by Daniel Chew On July - 3 - 2008

Welcome To Kuala Terengganu, that’s what the signboard says. Well, actually one would have figured that Terengganu would have been kinda old town but there is a China Town in Kuala Terengganu. I was amazed actually and this signboard was actually what greeted us to the China Town part of Kuala Terengganu.

Oh yeah, fast forward first to Kuala Terengganu post, the shots taken below were all post-Redang island photos as we’ve already left the island. Don’t worry there’ll be more shots of Redang Island when I get my last remaining photos.

Welcome To Kuala Terengganu

So welcome to China Town… and just look around and have a look at the buildings there. Awesome building designs that I thought I could only see it in Melaka of the Baba Nyonya prestige.

ChinaTown Terengganu

Those black stuffs on the sky are swallow birds. It seems one of the houses there housed a few of them swallow birds to harvest their nest for Bird’s Nest Soup. You should have seen, there were speakers everywhere around that area that protrude the sound of Swallow Birds just to attract them there. Good idea.

Design Weirdly While Waiting

Posted by Daniel Chew On July - 1 - 2008

The next post of Redang is now finally here, oh…. wait…. it’s NOT?? Oh sorry my mistake. I am still having Post Redang Fever. Drat… Well, since I have been spending most of my time at home, wondering about the complications of life and when is my next pay coming in from, I decided to sit down and live a life of a normal IT person who loves to dwell further into the topic of Information Technology.

Well, in short, I am looking up on web designing. Well, not the average web design but one which should comply with XHTML, CSS standards instead of the evil <table>, <font> tags which isn’t Web 2.0 friendly.

Blur as to what it means, then I wouldn’t blur you further but introduce you as to what I’ve been checking on these past few days.

Proposed New Blog Design

My mind is now full of <div> tags which is making me confused. Well, hopefully it’ll be a fruitful completion of a good design. Oh by the way, I have increased the length of this blog’s content to 1024pixels, so I am sorry for those who are still in the 800×600 view, I recommend the 1024 wide view. With this add-on too, my Nuffnang ads that’s situated at the top can now occupy one space at the top without affecting the design.

I think I had enough of blabbering, time for my other projects. My dad thinks I am working and studying in the wrong field. While my mum only has this question in her mind, “So when going to introduce a girl to me”..

My response : *numb* *silent* (Silence is Golden)

So any available candidates out there for me to silence my mum.

ATTENTION

Anyway I have here A PICTURE, can you find anything WEIRD on this photo (do not count me as weird).

Something Is Wrong With This Photo

Well, I am looking forward to your comments. Who knows, what might happen in the next time (or what can one reap).

Adios….

Are You Happy Or Not

Posted by Daniel Chew On June - 30 - 2008

Most of you will know what I am going to say already, but then you will never guessed that after all these years (ehh.. wait only like 1 year plus) Nuffnang a.k.a NN is venturing further and further into creating more widgets for bloggers alike.

First they came up with the poll system which I hardly used due to the bug I had recently. Then now they came up with a Happy-O-Meter. O_o… Kinda interesting, I must say, well, it’s more like some rivalry to widgets like Twitter and Plurk. What’s this Happy-O-Meter, well, in order to view that, you need to check your Dashboard in your nuffnang Page.

Happy-O-Meter

I saw this thing, I knew something is going on. Well, I do monitor my Nuffnang statistics. So let’s play some Happy Meter.

Choose Your happy State

Good thing about this, is that I can choose multiple color schemes. Well, there are many widgets out there that shows your mood only, but this one is good, it’s like a twitter mix with the mood thingy. Because my blog is so blueish in color, I am gonna opt for the blue one.

My happy Widget

So have fun playing with this widget. If you wanna know more you can read this blog entry from Nuffnang. Right now I am super happy. Dang, I am hungry too, and hopefully Spain wins tonight.

Redang Trip June

Posted by Daniel Chew On May - 8 - 2008

Don’t know what to say, but let’s take a break from another Sabah adventure and focus on what’s coming up next? Yes, there will be a trip up to Redang Island in the coming month, though the number of people going is still not sure. I need to book the rooms ya. So if you’re late, I will go ahead with the plan that there are only 6 people. So if you’re really going, tell me you’re going and get ready to pay a deposit for this trip.

Anyway speaking about Redang Island, I went and look into my old old photo archives and found out and old old photo of me in Redang Island for the first time which was year 2004. Yes, that’s like 4 years ago and it was the year I graduated. Those days, I can really see corals thriving near the sea bed and the amount of fishes. There were no banana boat that time. Not so much pollution and destroyed corals. Well, even the More More Tea Inn was in perfect condition.


It was Year 2004 and that was how it look then, The More More Tea Inn

Well, looking back at these old photos, I do missed those times with fellow coursemates going for trips and such. Besides the trip to Redang Island was my first time sitting on a plane. Yup, I was a bit anxious to have my first plane ride. But those times, I don’t really pose for the camera. Hardly pose, which explains how plain those photos were that time.


2 Guys and 4 Girls

Yeah, it was a fun outing, I must say, well, memories will indeed be memories. Treasure them. Everytime I arrived in Redang, it makes me think of how much fun it was. Well, not to mention the amount of girls that went during that trip. XD 4 years have passed. What else has changed?


The 3 Placards at More More Tea which were still unharmed that time

Now what do you see on the picture above. Yes, it’s a totally different story now. 2 heads are now gone with don’t really know what happened to it. Yes, if you were to go to Redang to witness this place and take the same pics like what I did, you’ll bound to be disappointed with the beheaded placards.

So anyway, I once again appeal, those that are going to go for this June’s trip, please confirm with me as fast, if not I will have to leave without you or rather if it doesn’t work out, I will not bother doing anymore trips at all.
