Fireworks Competition - Team Italy

Sunset at Putrajaya

Seri Wawasan Bridge

This year Malaysia is hosting the World Fireworks Competition and a few countries are participating. Was kinda sad didn't get to go for the Opening as well as the Team Australia event. I heard it was magnificent. We made it to last Saturday's event by Team Italy. We got there at 6.45pm early but was worth it. We camped out at Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC) and managed to get a good place to take our pictures. We waited till 10pm before the actual show started and ended about 20 mins later. Here are some of my shots, most of them didn't come out that nice. Too much smoke and distortion. Also, the trip back from Putrajaya was a nightmare too...huge parking lot, took us like 2 hours to get home.
Will try taking pics again this coming Thurs were by Team Japan will be the final team to show off their stuff. Can't wait!!! Must go early and tapau lots of food and water :P

Fraser Hill in the Spring Time



My first time to Fraser Hill. We decided to to take a hideaway weekend up to the highlands as it was boiling hot down here in KL City. Last minute thingy, some more no hotel booking. Since, we have not explore Fraser Hill we decided to check what's up there.

It took up about 2 hours drive, we exited Rawang and headed towards Kuala Kubu Baru. Pass by the Chenderoh Dam on the way up. They made it very easy now, one way up and one way down. Need not wait for an hour like previously. We stay @ Pine Resort. Very nice and cosy...great for family.It was raining and very cooling up there. TV in the room was limited to TV1, TV2 and TV3...no Astro. After 10 plus the place was really quite.



We had Devonshire Tea plus scones at the Smokey House after checkin in the hotel. We drove around the place, nothing much. Quite sad the place look run down and not well maintained. We headed back to rest for bit before heading out to look for dinner. We found a nice cafe at Shazan Inn were Kim Lee and Phil had nasi goreng and I had the kids meal seafood platter.


The next morning we decided to get up bright and early to do some hiking. There's actually lots of trails to hike about and if you like bird watching, this is a place to be. So no one could decide on a trail and so I choose Rompin Trail thinking that it was short and easy. It turns outs I was very wrong...it was steep, slippery and challenging. So no go, we headed down wards to the waterfall area. It's really serene and quite there. Nice walk not as challenging but very relaxing and enjoying. Oh yah almost forgot about our special requested nasi lemak breakfast...yummy :P






After our hike we head back to the town center we we had tea and waited for the newspaper to be brought up by the local bus (11.30am) Check out was at 1pm after which we headed back down towards KL and stop at Sg. Buloh R&R to have Haji Samuri Kajang Satay. Then back home...short trip for the weekend.



The whole trip, eat eat and eat :P that's what malaysian are good for.

Gong Xi Fa Cai - 2007 in Penang


We left on Saturday Morning to Penang at 4am. It took us like 4 hours to get from KL to Ipoh. In between there was 2 major accidents. Bus and another bus slammed onto one another and 5 car pile up near Ipoh. We thought leaving so early in the morning would be a great idea but who knew I guess everyone had the same notion as well. Oh well we got there finally in one piece close to lunch time. I dropped Phil off and headed to meet up with my family at my Aunt's house in Minden Heights.

We had our reunion dinner at Forum Chinese Restaurant in Island Plaza thanks to Mandy's father. We managed to get a table there for dinner. The food was scrumptous and very unique. We all enjoyed the food and also the weird curry dal dessert we had (in actually fact is made our of mango but it looks like dal). Here are some of the pics taken that night.

Next Check out the food man.....

Adila Birthday Dinner @ Strawberry Field

Yesterday was Adila's Birthday!! Happy Birthday Girl! Hope you had a blast at your surprise party on Sat and hope you also have fun last nite. War Wei came up wtih this game where she had to guess her birthday present. It was kinda cool, funny and at the same time kind mean.

Adila made her first guess (cake) and it was wrong so she had to chew down on some chili padi. She was hissing so bad as it was burning. Poor girl! Next guess was still wrong, she had to light Suresh a cigarette, then it was my turn and she guess nighty....eeehhhh wrong answer. This time I had her go to the table behind us with 2 guys sitting there and she had to get their phone no. and names. She did it, kudos to her. Next she guess baju, very close. So she was saved from doing the cat walk Thomas suggested. It was actually a t-shirt. I gave her a set of purple candles.

Suresh and the rest sang "Lady in Red" which was so cool and dedicated it to her since she was all dress up in red.



Part 2 Eye of Malaysia


This weekend we stopped by Taman Titiwangsa again. To see the fireworks. I will youtube the fireworks. Damn nice man....more spectacular than the first time I went, this time got laser show as well. It was madness to get there, we had to park really far but am glad we did managed to find parking all the way behind Istana Budaya. If you guys have not seen the Eye of Malaysia yet you should go before it ends on Feb 25.
