Daniel, the WEIRD ONE as some of you might refer me as, has been doing crazy and weird things since the day he blogs here. Well, not to mention that traveling is definitely one of them. As an avid traveler, I am more of a fan of wildlife and nature and traveling to places with lots of nature for me to take photos is a splendid thing to do. (Well, to me though)

It was just a week ago, when there was a Tiger Blogfest 2010 being held on the Saturday organized well enough by PlanetOfTheMonyets. Well, it was being held to uphold the rights of the tiger. In other words, we have to keep people aware that we have to save the tigers. Tigers are one of those on the brink of extinction if we don’t do something soon. Of course, in Malaysia we don’t have lions here.

In my life, the only time I have seen a tiger was in a zoo and wildlife sanctuaries. Of course, I got a chance to take a few shots of the mighty tiger there. One of them was practically swimming and cooling down in the water. Now who said that cats are afraid of the water?

Surprisingly, tigers exist too in my playing life. Well, I mean Magic the Gathering cards too, where there are a few cards. One of the nicest ones are that they look so mighty and strong in the illustrations, I have a collection of tiger cards at home, still incomplete though.

SCYTHE TIGER

So to cut things short, have a look at all the other tiger shots that were taken by none other than the blogger himself.

I am the GLITTERING TIGER. Take that you glittering vampires.

I am wondering!

Ahhhhh~~~~ I sense food taking photos of me!

RESPECT THE TIGER! SAVE THEM! SAVE THE ECOSYSTEM!

Ps: As of now, photos will be “logofied” with the new logo. DC means Daniel Chew or DanielCtw.

And so it seems it was Easter today. Well, the day when I was running the BHP Orange Run coincidentally that falls on this day. Yes, BHP Run which covers about 11km and at least I find that I did it better than the time when I was running in the Zoo Negara which was only 9.4km.

Orange Run 2009
The Curve, Mutiara Damansara
April 12, 2009; 7:30am
Organised by BH Petrol
11km

To say the least, the run was fun with lots and lots of participants. For the first time, I don’t feel as tired when the time I ran at Zoo Negara as I paced myself for the first 3 km only to lose my footing at some curb which made me walk later on for awhile. Still managed to go 1 hour unlike those winners which do 40 minutes. Nevertheless it was fun running again. At least better than sitting in front of the PC whole day whole night. Now this is what I call a sport, unlike badminton and others which are just treated as a game.

I was there, and met up with Kyuzo, an ex-colleague and friend who went running together. Well, this time I got to say he wins me in terms of stamina. I have a lot to catch up I think. We maintained pace until the final 3 – 4 km, he went on his own. Thus my journey started there and then. This track to my experience has a lot of uphill and downhill slope which I find I do better on the uphill run. Well, maybe due to my light body, I could actually run uphill faster. Also haha.. if you read my friend’s entry, I was a butt chaser too. LoL

The key this time was to wear light. I chose my basketball jersey and a very short shorts to run and right I was feeling lighter as the sweat doesn’t wet my suit and drag me down like it used to during the Zoo run. For those that wants to know the experience of running in this kind of run, you may view the video below courtesy of runwitme.

So what is my next race? What else? The KL Marathon Race would be next.

I am so into this once again. I should improve on my endurance and stamina. Getting a stopwatch would be a good idea.

Oh right, before I can say anything else, I should actually thank the sponsors for this show, well, to me they are my sponsors… I’ve got the invite for the Nuffnang Madagascar 2 movie a few days ago and boy did I enjoy the movie. Also thank you someone that got me into the next line of movie passes . You know who you are.

To say the least, I was actually grateful that I got to watch this movie after my exhilarating  day in office, with so much crappy work to do. So it sure was a relief of headache and constant laughing in another night of movie, and yes… it indeed is laughable, alright…..

I am sure those who have watched the first episode was laughing about the antiques of the zoo friends, well, for me I sure did enjoy the second one as much as the first one too. Marty the Zebra, especially was entertaining. The famous one was the song “I like to Move It Move It, He likes to move it move it, We like to MOVE IT!!!!” Imagine animals all dancing to a movie and the part of the dancing lion.

In the first episode, or rather the first installment of Madagascar, the story main character revolves around the friends and barely mentioned about the penguins. Oh right, remember the penguins… XD they are back here alright and they are ready to kick some butt.

If you are a fan of cuteness, 哈哈哈!! Then I am sure a few of you would remember Mort the Lemur, the one with the cute eyes.

I Am Mort The Lemur

Well, Mort basically was more of a cameo role in here, and even though he was more of a pesky lemur. Well, don’t wanna give any spoilers so you’ve got to watch them yourself.

Well, just to touch a bit of the storyline, it revolves around the friends all are aiming to get back to New York and back to the zoo. Only to find themselves in Africa. The story also revolves around Alex the Lion who soon unfolds his past life as a lion cub in Africa. There are many twist and turn in the story, and there are also ‘mixed’ relationships happening.

One quote I love though is, “The name so nice, you need to call them twice!” Well, from this post you can see how much I thank Nuffnang and the people involved in this event a very very big thank you!!!!!

Also got to meet with other nuffies there. Well, glad to meet some familiar faces, CincauHangus, Karena and Eri Peng, YapThomas there to name a few whom I actually talked to. Also finally know who are wetwetwater, Chingy and also Robb.

ps : Bulat, when wanna go next movie?? LOL

I am back from the Nuffnang Event of Mamma Mia. I must say I am impressed with the storyline of the movie premiere though I would say not many people around my age would enjoy with a reason. Why??

First you’ll be looking at old actresses in sexy dresses with a mid riff top dancing and singing. Then also you’ll be seeing how young like the older actor and actresses tries to be. All this turn off the young guys. Yes, I also noted that there are many reasons why some people can’t stand it. Some of them in tinkitalks blog.

After like waiting for the time to past, I finally got the tickets for the Nuffnang Screening event for Mamma Mia. Basically I would prefer to get tickets for this mamma mia screeening compared to the rest of them due to the musical nature of this movie and also due to the actor and actresses in it. What more there is Amanda Seyfried as what I’ve mentioned previously.

So it’s time to meet with the other bloggers. Previously didn’t really get to mingle around, now hopefully though it’s that time to meet other nuffnangers. Must say thank you to the people in Nuffnang for this.

Be sure to dance and sing to the song of Mamma Mia or any other Abba favorite songs. Yee Haa..

ps: Too bad no shouters will be there though…
