Strange Curses

Finally i have time and materials to update the blog...

1 mth ago, i wrote abt my bike with John sarcastically mocking me in my tag board.

thank you for your support John. heh.

anyway, within this one month that i have gone hiatus, many things did happen. To me that is.

it's really a great month for me as i have went on a fishing cum relaxing cum suntanning cum photography trip with my trusted buddies to tanjong pinang in indonesia.

it's like a "back to basics" trip. Why? because we are staying in a kelong and the experience is kinda amazing. amenities are pretty basic, food are pretty basic (wat i ate in the 3 days are fried rice, fried noodles and otah), and there is nothing glamourous abt staying in a kelong.

probably the thing i enjoyed most there was seeing my friends shitting and peeing the "alfresco" style. and then hearing KY shout: "oei, mister! your house got hole, water leaking!!" and embarrass my friend (or me) totally.

seeing is believing so pictures from my cam is up!


the sunrise at tenah merah ferry terminal...


i wonder if it's a new building or an old one...i just can't tell.


it's amazing how a small kup kia (name of that motorbike in the pic) can take 3 person.


it's even more amazing how it can take 4 and traveling at 60km/h. i must have that kinda mods on my bike.

i was actually trying to capture on my cam of 5 people on a kup kia. but i guess having 4 on one is already over the top.


these pineapples taste better than the fried noodles, and fried rice that i had.


firecrackers....haben been playing with those since my primary school days when i visited malaysia. even malaysia now bans firecrackers.


after an hour drive, we reached the kelong. excitedly, all of us turned trigger happy.


andezu riding on his dream bike...


the entrance to the kelong...creepy even in the day.


the first thing i did upon reaching the kelong....i saw a tap and turned it on. i was pleasantly happy that the water that flowed out was clear and not murky.... and yah....this is wat i meant by "alfresco". every sewage goes into the sea. S-T-R-A-I-G-H-T DOWN the hole!


some artistic picture.. there are lots of fishes in that hole


more artistic pictures...kayaks.


that's a sea hawk and it's their pet. it cries out like a cat purrs...


they also have squirrels in the kelong as pets. funny thing indos like exotic pets. dogs and cats are mainly treated as strays.


the view of the fishing area...


look at that clam!! its the biggest i have ever seen and we ate it raw. it cost only $5 for one. freaking cheap man. and it is yummy.


night falls and we started playing with firecrackers....super exciting! haha.


i had so much otah during the 3 days. no pun intended that i also became "otah-ed"


fishing for fishes....we caught a few over the 3 days.


my buddies soon got bored of fishing and they went kayaking.


ky having fun....


the 4 bros....lining up for a shot.


andezu got stucked with the currents and needed help from me to pull him out from trouble...


another artistic shot


the 6 of us..best buds getting ready for cam whoring


candidly taken..


the "otah-ed" fishermen!! clockwise from the blackest: xiao hei, kenny, ky, daniel, andezu, jos


the 3 days came and passed so quickly...it's just like sunsetting..


as the tide going down...


daniel is still not letting the pressure off the fishes...


i do wonder, if i grow old, will i get to enjoy life like him??

when i got back to sg, i started work the next day and was told that there will be an audit of the shop and service standards in the next 3 days.

in the end, we scored a 97/100... the highest in Singapore among all the b and j outlets.... freaking good achievement. i am so proud of my shop, my staff, and myself.

thank you girls for helping me to achieve this score. we did it with alot of determination, teamwork, and hardwork!
