Arghh. I dread listening to all the chinese new year songs during this period of time. Its the same every year, and it doesn't help when the bus driver on my transport decided that they sound better than the usual happy birthday song on 97.2fm.

A year in pictures.
Some random photo from yesteryear. Someone asked me where's my new year resolution for the year. Every year end when i make my annual personal review i'll be disappointed as i realize i've forgotten bout the customary new year resolution that i've made during the start of the year. In order to spare myself from that this year end, i've decided to forgo the entire process of making new year resolutions. There's no point wishing for this and that. Anyway, according to murphy's law, if anything can go wrong, it will.
Nope it's not Chinese new year

It national day! I've been there working for the past 3 years and i'm still feeling lethargic every morning before my coffee. Someone told me i will get so used to working life that i will wake up early even on weekends. Apparently it doesn't apply for everybody. Just last week, I woke up close to 7 in the evening without alarm clock.

I drew this on the whiteboard of microlab in celebration of the 7th month ghost festival and nearly got other people into trouble. Tsk tsk. But what's wrong with it? Isn't it cute?

The sky look different everyday. Busy urbanites should slow down and take note of the finer details of life.
Salang, Pulau Tioman
My yearly Pilgrimage. It may not have the most beautiful beach but it's near enough, the people are nice, its cheap and i just like it.
Smokehouse, Cameron highlands
A friend of mine said that this is a perfect place for people to retire in. Cool weather, close to home, grow some flowers in your yard, read a book in the ye olde English style architecture and furnishing. Hmmm its beautiful no doubt but its wet and eerie at night. I still prefer a seaside setting. Watching the waves and feeling the sea breeze on my face while reading my book lying on the warm sand. I guess that explains my pilgrimage.

Until i get it figure out, all my photos are like this.
The land of green ghosts
Many years back, i bought a book from Kinokuniya. The land of green ghosts, A Burmese Odyssey by Pascal Khoo Thwe. I've got no idea what got me interested in the book then. But after reading, i knew i'll be there one day to see them in person. Everyone is discouraging, telling me its difficult to get there and all. It did took me quite a few years to gather my courage and all but finally. ;)
Loy Krathong in Mae Hong Son
Loy Krathong in Chiangmai is full of colorful paper lanterns, fireworks, beautiful girls in traditional clothings, parade floats and lots of street food.
The clear november sky was lit up by khom lois and the river glow with candlelights from lots of banana leaf boats. It is said that you put all your troubles into the boat and float it down the river or launch them up into the sky using paper lanterns. To cleanse your sins and carry away your sufferings.
I launch one of them with the help from bystanders. It rise into the dark sky driven by heat, the fire visible like an orange star, into the far distance bringing away by troubles.
