I shall do a brief introduction. It has been awhile since this web was renamed to Daniel Chew the Weird. Well, not that I am weird but weird in a different way. It is like saying I am weird but weird in a special way. I think differently which people usually do not think it that way. Let us say that I am able to somehow twist and turn certain things that it turns out weird. All in all, it means I am just weird. See, I guessed I am starting to confuse you with my weirdness.

Just a while ago, while I was playing Magic the Gathering card games, while everyone was making decks to win (winning to most people is considered fun as long they make it competitive), I find making hilarious decks superbly fun. Though I might not win all the time, it is when I suddenly see their weird expressions when I win it with the deck that gets my adrenaline rushing. You know how weird their eyes started rolling when a weird deck starts beating them.

Oppps.. let us go back to what I was saying, Daniel Chew the Weird is what DanielCtw.com means. Just look at the initials and you will get what I am talking about. Now what about the many faces of Daniel?

At times I might be wacky, doing some crazy stuffs (like jumping and trying to get that perfect pose) or I love to take my own portrait like how those girls love to take their own reflection on the mirror (rather than looking at the camera, look elsewhere, it changes the mood).

Like the above, it has been awhile since I did a jump shot and boy, my physique has changed quite a lot. Somehow I felt I no longer used to look like the young boy that used to blog in this blog doing more cute faces. These are but a few of the faces of me. The Wacky. The Serious. The Poser.

It has been like 5 years since this blog was established back in 2006. Reading back how I used to blog, makes me miss my childhood days (rather college days). Unlike now, as I grew older, my mind start thinking more and more things as more responsibilities are coming my way. You could say that, most bloggers mature and changed their style of blogging as they grow older. Just look at Kenny Sia, he has also cut down on his blogging and focuses more on his business (GYM). What about me? I might be the same age as him, but we all have our different goals in life. (Oh my…. lecture time? Skip it)

Though that does not stop me from what I love to do in my life. I love to travel. Now where was my recent travel place? The next photo would at least summarize it all.

Aha… that was where I was recently. Of course, next time I might give a crash course on how to pose? Why do I feel that I can pose well? You will know, sooner or later what I meant by that. Live life wackily and crazy and weirdly while one is still young. Time passes by in a flash.

You know what to do? Everytime someone is on a holiday or going somewhere, it’s good to jump, but some jump in a very creative way. Well, some of them jump like how some other people jump, some wanted to do it a bit different. Some can’t even jump <— HAHAHAHA… Some are just weird when they are jumping.

What’s with all this jumping? Letting you decide who are the jumping winners!!!!

Well, we even had 2 pretty ladies to officiate the jumping festival in Redang Island Jetty.

Now thank you for the presentation, let’s move on to the participants.

Presenting myself, Hugo Lim and Aaron@Axial.

Obviously I failed in jumping, and thus I was eliminated this round. Hugo had a very impressive umbrella ella jump while Aaron has his trademark kung fu kick jump to kick me off the festival. danielctw has failed terribly in this round.

Then it’s a showdown between Hugo and Aaron, who will prevail?????

It looks like Hugo finally gave up as Aaron does the Floating Crucifixion Jump. Aaron is doing very well in jumping competition, who else can ever challenge him to this jumping competition. With the first round casualty, Daniel and Hugo already out, who else can it be? Wait… wait….. I see someone coming up for the challenge.

This comic was done for the benefit of readers.

Well, there you have it, no win no lose. It looks like both are expert jumpers. It’s a Aaron & William showdown which in the end turn out to be a new GGP entry.

See the Flying GGP in action.

William and Aaron having a go again with their OK sitting Yoga stance. Can you feel the love…… *pukes in the corner* (no offence to gays out there, no pun intended)

Hehe.. what’s GGP, that’s for you to find out later. By the way, with the way they’re jumping, I can’t even show my superiority in it. I guessed I just have to stick to being a pole poser. A pole poser? What’s that?? Well, in case you’ve forgotten, here’s how it looks like.

It’s as if one part of my leg is missing. Weird….. Well, too bad… it’s alright. I am what I am. Say, what happened previously that I didn’t blog for quite some days, you guys must be wondering right? So in order to help you people to feel the suspense, this was what I’ve been doing these past few days.

Yup, Daniel is preparing a whole new theme, been testing it with any possible bugs and stuffs. Seemingly as this blog has become more of a photography and thoughts blog, it’s wise to choose to be a little bit more stylish. It’s tough trying to play around with all the CSS stuffs and avoiding the <table> option whenever needed.

Be sure to check it out. By the way GGP means Gay Gay Partner.

Once again, if you love reading this, be sure to bookmark or subscribe to my feed and have a wonder week everyone. Adios….

Not enough of Redang, the first part of the Redang crashing was more of the people that are in the trip. Well, it was at first hard to organize a trip such as this, but then looks like I enjoyed doing it. LOL…

If you missed the first part, here it is….
Redang Kalong Got Crashed

Well, I guessed enough of people in the photos, I want to see the sceneries and the sea there. What a better way to showcase it then to have it feature on this blog eh… Well, a lot of other photography I should also research. I am still not as good a photographer like those with high tech kits, but with a D40, I think that’ll do.

While walking on the Long Beach on course with the Laguna Redang Beach, here’s a scenery shot of the Redang Reef resort along the rocky ground with the sea overlooking it. Though it’s been like 4 years since I stayed in Laguna.

But what about Marine Park, the very famous natural reserve now being taken care by the marine park personnels. They really do keep check all their corals there too.

Though the amount of people there made me lost interest in snorkeling. But if you haven’t yet snorkel yet, do give it a try, the corals there are breathtaking. Those still clueless, Redang Island is situated on the East of Peninsular Malaysia around the lands of Terengganu.

What a tired weekend last week, it feels time past by so fast and now it’s the weekends again. Well, to me time seems to past by so fast. Anyway this week’s theme was bright.

So this is my shot for this week’s Photo Hunter.

Can you believe this shot was shot at around midnight. Yes, and why is it bright? The little clue is just at the top of this photo. Can’t believe that it’s so good the night it was shot facing the sea of Redang Island during it’s low tide too.

Hope you enjoyed photo hunting as much as I do too.

Would you believe it’s now already one week after the first day of Redang Island trip with fellow and friends and ShoutOuters. It was that long, it really is. Here am I sitting and pondering, what a wonderful time most of us had. Well, it was fun while it lasted, though I think I lost my cap to the bus, my shades to the sand, and my memories of the dive trip in my dive log book. Yes, REDANG ISLAND was fun.

The ones that went on this trip were ……

Guys : Aaron, Hugo, David, William, Satkuru, Lasker & Me
Girls : Wendy, Lee May, Lisa, Angeline & Elise

By the time we arrived, the sea was so blue from the reflections of the sky that such peacefulness could be felt within. Well, just looking at the above picture would tell you how clear the sea was. Yes, stayed in Redang Kalong, the same place I used to stay for the past 2 years. Seriously a good place for divers to visit.
