Manila

I spent my whole day traveling, even though Manila is not that far from Malaysia, about 4 hours flight. I took Singapore Airlines so i need to transit to Singapore before fly to Manila, so approximately 6 hours of travelling. Singapore Airlines is quite ok to me, lots of people said it's the best in Asia and i was so lucky to take the plane. I dont know how true it is cause i never fly MAS yet. Tried Cathay Pacific, compare to SIA i think SIA is more spacious. The service not much different. The flight is just ok. Lots of movies and the game is so boring compare to Cathay pacific.




Arrived around 4pm in Manila. Not much interesting view and quite small airport. We took a metered taxi. Unfortunately there was bombing incident in Makati on the way to my Hotel happened in the afternoon. Police shut down a few major road and that cause a heavy traffic jam. It is suppose to be a 20 minutes driving to my hotel, but it took me 3 hours to reach there! Can u imagine how terrible the traffic is?


Nothing much i can do except just sitting in the taxi looking at the traffic, try to compare and find what unique about Philipines. I see lots of Toyota and Honda on the road, fancy jeepey passanger or kind of mini bus. Philipinos driver is more crazy than Malaysian driver. U can imagine how close they drive whenmotorbike can't even drive through. I saw lots of people walking on the road selling junk food too.

After 3 hours, we arrived at hotel- Edsa Shangri La. They have big sniffing dogs and lots of security which they said a normal procedure. They will check the car and the bags. So, the hotel was awesome, nice lobby very friendly services. So i went up to my room it was just ok, not so big for an expensive hotel. After throwing everything and had a nice bath, we went down to find our dinner at the mall. 2 big malls next to my hotel.

On the next day, we had our User conference and it was awesome as our big boss from US and also my idol came to make the preliminary speech. It was tiring day, on the evening i went to the mall again and had dinner with all the delegates and caboooom fall asleep.

The next day, i went to few workshops, went for shopping. no where to go except shopping mall as they close everything at 9pm except for pub arund 10-11 pm.

So the conclusion is, i dont really explore Manila cause i have not enough time and the bombing thingy, so my pictures also not so interesting. Maybe next time. :D

Manila here I come!


New entry after 25 days! Time really flies like rocket, i didn't notice it at all. So sorry, no new interesting updates except all about my tonnes of workloads. I told u how i hate my work right, well a few thing has happened in the office and i'm hoping there are sunshine after rainy days or i can say rainy years :P.
I foretold there would be a change management if they totally serious about it. I felt so relief that i can spilled all my thoughts n hatred about that company to the managements, i hope they taking it seriously if they want to keep all their technical staff there. If not, cry me a river lah...
Anyway after all the thoughts given, my boss actually sending me and 2 of my collegues to Manila to attend a user conference. I'm a bit happy about it, i love travelling especially a free 1 :P. Since it's a very short notice which i think my boss purposely did, i can't plan for extended vacations there, if not i 'm sure i will go to one of it's beautiful island --> Boracay or probably Bohol. U know how much i love beaches! I felt like crying when i c these beautiful pictures, white sandy beach, crystal clear water.... if only i have a house there or better, own a resort in a beautiful beach.. everyday is vacation to me :P
Boracay

Bohol


1 day i will definitely go there. Puuffffff.. back to reality, I will stuck only at Manila. Will it be good? Fun? I dont know, most reviews from my friends said Manila is dangerous. They wont dare to go out at nite. Well, i will see how it goes, i really want to go out at nite, check out their cheap nite market or at least go to the SM mall, biggest mall in Asia. I want to do some shopping. Wanna find cute key chain that represent Manila and probably few clothes. or else i will stuck in the hotel and just jump into swimming pool.

I will continue to update this blog again tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be fine :D

Malaysia winner AFF Suzuki Cup 2010

Malaysia won!


Hooray to Malaysian soccer. It's been like forever we ever won this match - AFF Suzuki Cup. It's a great improvement for Malaysian soccer team! Malaysia boleh! Malaysia boleh! Malaysia boleh!

Our heroes - Khairul fahmi Che Mat & Safee Sali for their excellent games not to forget the rest of Malaysian players.

Congratulations to the coach - K.Rajagobal for making us believe in Malaysian soccer team again :)


Jakarta: Goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat saved an early penalty and Safee Sali netted his fifth goal of the tournament as Malaysia claimed the AFF Suzuki Cup title for the first time despite losing 2-1 to Indonesia in the second leg of final at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Wednesday.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, Indonesia squandered an opportunity to cut the deficit when Firman Utina's weak spot kick in the 15th minute was stopped by Khairul. And the home team's hopes of rescuing the match were effectively snuffed out when Safee scored on the break nine minutes into the second half.

Mohammad Nasuha pulled back a goal with 18 minutes remaining and Muhammad Nasuha scored with a deflected effort two minutes from time to give the home side the win on the night although Malaysia still prevailed 4-2 on aggregate.

I have Maine Coon Mix

Hehe.. presented to you my dearest, beautiful cute little Sylvia De La Rosa.


I'm totally out of my mind! I don't know why i'm so tense last week and all i can think off is to have my own purebred Maine coon. After a few days of recce, Maine coon is totally out of my budget approx Rm4000 and above. Crazy right? So i recce for a Maine Coon Mix (Persian + Maine Coon) with average price is Rm1500.

After meeting with the breeder and so many sleepless night (actually 2 nite only) thinking of this cat, i bought her last Friday :p with a good offer Rm1100 & free small cage. Hahaha I still can't believe i bought this expensive cat!

One of the main reason i bought her was because I love cats and I want to breed her. Maine coon is hot in the market currently, for those who can't afford pure breed Maine Coon, they will buy Maine Coon mix. So i want to try to venture into this market. I can foresee my future now, doing things i love, business and having lots of animals, i want to open my own cattery :P

Look at her, she's so sweet and loving. The first day she arrived, she doesn't scared at all, she don't stop playing for hours. I rarely see her sleeping.

She's just 3 months old, and look how big she is, i really hope she can be as big as real Maine Coon. I'm so happy now.

Waiting outside the line

I think the lyrics suits me... what am i waiting for? Listen to this beautiful song:


You’ll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?

Rules and regulations,
force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
it’s time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now

I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

Try to have no regrets
even if it’s just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
if you keep living behind

Stuck in my same position,
you deserve so much more
There’s a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now, just let it go

The world will force you to smile
I’m here to help you notice the rainbow
Cause I know,
What’s in you is out there

I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

I’m trying to be patient (I’m trying to be patient)
the first step is the hardest (the hardest)
I know you can make it,
go ahead and take it

I’m Waiting, waiting, just waiting I’m waiting
www.musicloversgroup.com
I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

You’ll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?

P/s: If only i have the courage...

Rapunzel! Rapunzel!



"Rapunzel! Rapunzel, let down your hair, let me climb up and sniff at your hair.. Muahahah your mother knows the best".

Ohh I love this movie. Just watched it last nite. It was hilarious, I laughed like hell from the beginning till the end.

"Ohh.. u better focus on this old lady.. she's important in this movie. I told u so.. Eugine or Flynn rider as the narratives. This story is about the day i died. :P"

As you know it's another fairy tales from Hollywood but rather it's been distort to a new level of tales that is quite fascinating. The basic line is almost the same. It's about a princess that have a magical long hair. She's been kidnapped and locked in a tower in the middle of forest by an old lady who wants her magic to maintain her youth. One day his prince charming found the tower and climb in and BANG! he was knocked down by Rapunzel...


Surprise having a beautiful lady in front of her, he makes his cute handsome bitchy look. Look at that, look at that --> (don't say i'm crazy for falling in love with his look.. as long as cuteness is there i will easily falling hehe. )
Even when he's surprised! Charming huh?


So, they make a deal fair and square.. Rapunzel's adventure with his prince charming! Then.. u go and watch it yourself, it's no fun to tell all here hahaha, :P

What makes the movie more fun and funny? Of course the supporting animal! Maximus the stallion and caring Pascal the Iguana! This is my favourite part where Rapunzel trying to tame the furious maximus.


Maximus and Rapunzel.


and cute little pascal.
I'll give this movie 4 1/2 stars! Not that i bias with the cuteness in this movie, but because it's hilarious and fun! Those who have a teaspoon of sense of humor, better don't waste your money.

What say u?

It's a fairy tale months. I'm loving it. Next week Narnia. I dont really like Narnia. But what the hell, it can distress my stress towards my job :p

Adios
