I’m back….no, I’m off again!

 

 

This may come as no surprise to you.

 

I’m gona be overseas again, from tomorrow to 19 November.

 

But didn’t I just come back from China like a few days ago?? Ya la, when work calls, no choice. Either travel. Or get fired. So the first choice is surely safer….no choice but to jet around like a rockstar LOL.

 

And this time, it’s not India again.

And nor is it China again.

Instead, I’m gona be hanging out with Gwen Stefani………….punya Harajuku girls LOL.

Yeah babeh, I’m going to Japan!

 

 

Despite hearing stories all these years of how one must visit Japan, the only time I actually set foot there was in 2000. And that was only a 1 hour transit on the way to Los Angeles….I never got as far as the toilet door before I had to get aboard the plane again :/

 

And after 7 years of having a Toyota as a family car, 5 years of using a Sony compact camera, 1 year of using a Canon DSLR, and about 20 years of eating Sushi and Seasoned Seaweed, I finally get to visit the origin of all these stuff.

 

And it’s gona be fun because it’s winter, and girls are gona be dressed extra cute.

Or, maybe they dress like this the whole year around? Coz I couldn’t find pics of Japanese girls in winter clothes?

 

But what I do know is that I’ll be seeing lots of these. Harajuku is a rather strange culture. From Eye Bandages…

harajuku-pair

 

…to Red Angel Wings..

harajuku_girls

 

To the colors of the Olympic Rings….

….and …..a girl with an arm that resembles a penis. With a very sharp dick-head.

 

 cosplay

 

It’s a grotesque mixture of a-sexual characters with a sense of fashion that I may never be able to understand. I shall pay least attention to the above if I do see them on the streets. Rasa nak muntah wei hahaha.

 

I may not be able to hang out with them much, but what I can do, however, is to capture all that’s happening with my new toy, which I got for a few days already.

 

IMG_5180a

 

Wide Lens!! Omg finally!!

 

What you’re gona see next is a series of test shots…

 

Image_001

Omg I can squeeze so many things into 1 shot!

Image_002

Can even camho in the car!

Image_003

   

Can also make people look scary like this! LOL

Image_005

 

And it’s so easy to take Gan Bei shots now!

Image_004

 

Simply tembak also can masuk everyone….in fact the shot above is a little wide already.

 

Can you imagine how many Ayumi Hamasaki I can camho with when I’m in Osaka during the next few days.

 

IMG_1948a

 

Wah shiok.

 

I thought that being back for these 5 days (5 – 11th) would give me ample time to catch up on things, but I was wrong. All of a sudden, today’s already the 11th!

 

I do apologize to my friends whom I’ve not met for a long time. Before China, I thought I had lots of time to update, but it turned out to be a busy period. During China, I thought that when I came back, I could spend these 5 days catching up with as many people as possible. Ends up that didn’t happen either.

 

Paintball is something which I wanted to spend lots of time, but during China, I underwent a major priority reshuffling. Eventually, I came to a realization that I would have to be a let down to my Yakuza team (or already have). My work next year would involve a lot of shuttling between home and India, and to play for tourneys, I need time for both training AND tourney. Lack of either one would mean I might as well hang up my gear for good. And that, for now, will remain as an unanswered question…….

 

 

So when we touched down, @JoyLKChan picked us up. Thanks for the ride Joy! (Sorry la I know this pic is rather suggestive, but it’s the only one i got of you both) HEHE.

On Friday, I met with the Salsa Cruise Asia organizing committee for the first time, at Plaza Mont Kiara.

 

IMG00167-20091106-2124

Sorry ah. Was taken with my phone so blur blur dei. I’m not allowed to publish photos of Salsa Cruise taken with the DSLR ….(yet). Hehe.

 

These people may be dressed in black but I can tell ya, they KNOW how to poser. Which makes a camho like me very happy. Ahaha.

 

Met up with Darynne Goh whose birthday bash was happening 5 floors below, at Bar Savanth. Happy 20th Birthday Darynne!

IMG_1692a

Why is a 20 year old celebrating her birthday in a 21-and-above-only club?? xD

 

On Saturday, Psychkin decided to spring me a surprise…

 

In the middle of Kota Kemuning…among industrial factory lots…lay a secret hideout of relaxation :

IMG00171-20091107-1515

I was booked in to a Herbaline Body Massage session!

 

The only thing was that there was a slight miscommunication…and instead of a body massage, this is what we both got:

IMG00178-20091107-1603

A Facial.

 

I gave considerable amount of thinking on whether I should expose the pic above, but hey, at least I’m not naked. And neither is my facial therapist. (Just don’t blackmail me with this very gay pic next time).

 

Also included in the package was a 10 minute Fish-Spa, of which the fish were unbelievably aggressive. I had a hard time keeping my feet in the water for more than 30 seconds….what the heck, did these garra ruffa grow teeth or what!

 

I had an even bigger surprise that day. After a couple of hours of hiding in Psychkin’s bag, I was presented my 27th birthday gift.

 

IMG_5203a

 

In addition to the Burberry watch that Wuxi gave me, I now have a Seiko time piece. I am loaded with awesome people in my life.

 

That night we caught up with Bevvy, Botakai & cousins, AhChay & Joyce for dinner at Klang Boston Baru…..

 

….and Bahkuhteh!

IMG_1719a

Damn man, must be my newfound China appetite. I’m scary lol.

 

Eh, I just noticed AhChay’s smile is HUUUUGGGE in this pic. The biggest smile I’ve ever seen on him.

IMG_1719b 

Oh, just look at the folds down his chin. He’s trying so hard. LOL.

 

 

Sunday was the most bahagia day ever.

Reason #1

Image_002

 

Reason #2

IMG_1831a

1 crab ~ 1 kg. Ahhhh.

 

Monday was spent in office clearing my pending 2-month work pile off my table.

 

And Tuesday was spent collecting my Japanese visa.

 

The original picture was too handsome that the immigration decided they had to make the one on my visa look like a memorial stone. Fail man.

 

And now, with most of my work done and behind me, I’m ready to go!

 

Just don’t believe me when I say I’ll be updating more than usual. AHahaha.

 

So here a few last wide shots taken at Pyramid for ya before my flight later.

 

Sony Vaio X – Ultra Thin Net book Launch. Image_001 Image_002 Image_003

 

For a laptop that’s only 13.9mm thick, it sure packs a punch. It’s sexy and it costs only RM 5299 yo.

 IMG_1952a 

Ohh the power of wide lens. Shiok giler. I’m happier than a puppy with a million chew toys.

 

 

By the way, I’m now part of the Blackberry revolution.appworld.blackberry.com_02

And if you’re crazy about BB Messenger like I am, add me at PIN # 213492D3, and I assure you I will leave you with no peace at night xD

IMG_5194a

 

Btw, the bokeh-ness you’re seeing in the earlier pics is thanks to EGo’s new lens. For RM1400, it’s such an awesome toy wei. Don’t go for F1.8 if you’re thinking of it. Sure regret xD

 

The only thing is now, I desperately need to know how to say ‘Blackberry’ in Japanese. Or that means no Twitter / BB messenger for another 9 days. Wuuuu….

 

Cheers!

    Hi fellow Yakuza, Did you forget to mention that you are going to Yakuza land? But don’t tell them you are one of the Yakuza here in KL (u know the answer). I saw a video clip of a phone advertisement (Nokia, I think) : The guy took pictures of things he might need to use (toilet, taxi, food outlet etc.) Actually he is travelling to a foreign land and need show the picture to on his phone instead of asking questions like hen and ducks talking. Have a nice trip.
