Interruption to shop?!


Aww, i hate when my timetable interrupted by someone's invitation. I suppose to have my nights working on my new design on computer but i decided to join just for the sake keeping them happy as we shop around our local shopping center. The fact is i haven't been hanging around inside the shopping complex for 5 months and buy stuff in there. I don't feel like urban guy, im more outdoor type like being in the open air instead being crowded with people and luxury around me. As i get futher older year by year it seems that going luxury trends isn't much necessity any more. When i was a teenager i always like to clad on branded stuff like Puma, Addidas, Nike and things that are very popular, branded and expensive. As i got older my way of thinking spending all these stuff comes to a mature level. My words when it comes to buying stuff for my self is: "if its enough to cover my body then is sufficient enough..don't pay more for less function".
I had a friend who's wearing a shoddy, crumpled looking Levis Shirt, he asked me to guess how much its worth. "RM$30" i say. He was angry because he paid RM$150 for that. So what, it doesn't looks that special..i get better looking ones for less than RM$30...its just a shirt. I'd rather use that fund for my hobby and other usefull development that give happiness and huge output of technical knowledge. Spend wise people.

Lines of hogger

When i just come out from my work place...the end! I hate being stuck. Must ride my bike! Ride bike ride bike ride bike.

Longest Durian season

Hey i love durian, you should too. The aroma almost smells like heavy petroleum fumes mixed with sweet gummy candy....make my teeth gnawy. All i can say its like eating melted yummy gummy cotton candy. Durian season in this city seems to be longer than last year, Durian keep coming in our local market very often while in other town its all exhausted since the season suppose to be out. Since it getting cheaper everyday we often enjoy ourself with kings of fruits every night.

Nights of double plate

As usually everday we enjoy cycling after a day stuck in the office. After 3 hours swivelling every corner of the district we settle down in late evening for a nice warm dinner in the open air cafe. we had Salad chicken rice for dinner. I went two round of plate to keep me happy. Surprisingly Miri city have variety of different shape and sizes of Salad Chiken rice cuisine. Unlike Kuching City where all Salad Chicken rice looks constantly same in design and decoration (but they are all crispy), Miri have comes with different styling, flavour and sometimes if unlucky you might feel like you're eating bubbly plastics on some 'cheapy' restaurant...caution. However today i'm quite happy with their dishes, chicken meat are very tender, easy to much, salads mayonaise are properly decorated like strings and rices are fried mix with nicely cut springy eggs and minced veges! yum! yum!..Which is why i went two rounds for it. Bruppp!!

Almost a routine - Saturday PSP gathering

This is almost a PSP routine for us on every Saturday, Me, Eugene and Tony. This is the onlyway to release our frustration against others virtually in GTA. However i'm not that luck since everyone teaming against me. The good news i had my sniper and bazooka. lol

R/C gathering: Hatsune Miku body shell

Check out Eugene's Hatsune Miku bodyshell. That guys was all over it on his new r/c model. For r/c i'd prefer plain and simple pattern on the body. If i put extreme decals or paint jobs i'll paint it on my 3d models. Luckily the bodyshell made from very rubbery and flexible lexan rubber. i gave him thumbs up if he gets a TAMIYA BMW GTR replica of Hatsune Miku.

Beach 20 years later

Here's a photo of our local beach scene taken on my W200i Sony phone just an hour before sunset. Sorry for those lousy quality since i'm cheap on going high tech gadgets. Those long trails marks on the sands made by...you know what...lol. I'm lucky enough to live nearby coastal area. The winds and the sound of wave pounding brings calms to my heart. Nice!

Cycling in different perspective

The sun is above of as we ride out into unexplored Urban forest. We got bored riding on the same route everyday so we decided to go totally diferent places for the sake of thrills. Since i rarely cycle at noon where the sky is high and the sunlight are every bright the environment around us looks very much different and livelier than nearly evening time. Probably the bright ambient lights shines out the contast color of pure environment color. The sea looks very dark blue, the bubble wave very white, pine trees very dark green and fresh lush of grass very green and sthe sky is true blue: colors like screenshots taken from annual calendar photo. Very vivid and bright. We cycle pass with breezy wind cool us down and we speeding down the unexplored trails feeling more adventurous and lucky to be out there to explore the beauty behind our back yard. Luck we didn't get any sunburn.

Like any Saturday

My mind clogged with too many thing to do this Saturday and Sunday, gladly all the thing i wanna do is really interest me and get me excited. Others like outing with family and friends i also plan along to spent my weekends out doors fully before working days start. I'm not planing to spent too long on computer doing 3d models and design, my eyes kinda sore after stick too long under low lit LCD. My Saturday was great, driving along the road cruising under sunny blue sky. Life isn't that bad since my rules of living quite simple. "Ignore critism and just follow my own way"...which is why my life isn't that boring or typical nerd type infront of computer even my actual career says that. I suppose to take screen shots of Starbuck TrackMania demo videos into public gallery at my website...oh well its Saturday... i take my time to cool off and enjoy my day. Biking, PSP, RC, dinner party and etc on my list.

Gentle evening ride.

As usual on every thursday is the usually day where most local cyclist will group together in the evening for a long ride. Me (yellow jersey) and my friend (in blue jersey) decided to ride at our own slow pace through different route around the district touring and experience new places away from the usual main road that we use to follow. Were much happy that evening because the weather was very nice and pleasant to ride. Its very beautiful evening and calm wind rub against our face and glide through the gentle wind. The light orange sunlight and the dusky orange and blue sky make the ride scenery more aromatic and pleasant. We clocked 75km worth of milage around the district from and end to another end of the town at moderate speed just to get the enjoyment of sight seeing places and people around us. Unlike last year we go fast but this year we go slow and steady, going to fast is not enjoyable anymore since i missed some interesting things too see around me since its too fast to view whats around me, going slow give us time to enjoy sight seeing and have pleasure like a toursit in the city.
As we ride back into the town center the sun set down and the sky began to darken into golden orange. We decided to have our dinner in the open air cafe and some nice tast local cheese burger. I had few cheese burger, local friend rice with beef and carbonate drinks to fuel me for the next trip around places later. We had a good time chatting, laughing and watch people pass by beside the road in the open till the sky gotten dark. Its great top be away from home and computer for a while to let my mind free and express freedom and happiness outside than being confined in a close world. Life is short, so i max my life to the fullest by being adventurous everday.
Before we went home we stroll again round the town through every corner of the places to see what night life look after sunset. Bright colored neon, people flocking to restaurant and bar, seaside gathering, busy traffic, glittering people in the mall, and some people just looking around for opportunity at night. After surfing around on wheels we finally head back home. I really enjoyed my life today.
