Year: 2009

Happy Valentine’s Day 2009

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Happy Valentine’s Day 2009

It’s that time of the year again where everything is hiked double, triple or even more. Every couple practically flood every single eatery in Kuching not even letting go of the hawker stalls. Road is jammed too as everyone is heading out for celebration.

To all those legal love birds:
Wish you all the best and may the love showers you with all the happiness.

To all those illegal love birds(cheating spouse or third party):
Wish you all the worst and may the “love” showers you with all the sorrows when the time comes.

Shoo! I’m not talking about you, don’t perasan! If you think I’m referring to you then that’s your problem. Means you admit that you are wrong.

It just happened that since last year until now I’ve been hearing a lot of cases like this happening and it has affected those around me badly even though they are not the ones that got involved in it. Not just one case but severals *HORROR*

Can you imagine how many I have to listen to because they need my ear for it? Not that I complain, I’m willing to hear you people out as long that it can help in reduce your stress level even though I can’t do anything. That is why I’m very sensitive in thing like this nowadays.

Thing like this is not only about the couple but it will affect anyone close to the cheating spouse or the third party. It comes in a package.

Be it legal or illegal, a relationship is not about two people but the whole package of the person ranging from the past, the present, the future, the family, the friends and so much more.

To all the singles or those having their loved one somewhere else:
Let’s hope next year will be better. We can celebrate Valentine’s Day on any other day! Why must it be on the day itself when everyone is trying to earn more than an extra piece of your money and squeeze around with others? Even you are madly in love doesn’t mean that you have to be a stupid consumer. We don’t have to follow the crowd at all. Make your own Valentine’s Day! Agree?!?!

Anyway… It’s Saturday and I’m having class then after that stay at home jiak kaki. Dear… Do you hear that? ;p Don’t think so… So long we share the same sky, the same sun and the same moon, it’s better than nothing. *MUAKS*

By the way, anyone wanna date me tonight to spend our very own without-lover/single Valentine’s? Come to think of it, I don’t think we have a place to go at all *LOL* I better prepare for my presentation tomorrow ;p Not in the mood to go out, don’t want to be part of crowd.

I’m so bitter… So what?!?!? It’s not like my bitterness will cause your Valentine’s Day to go bitter also. Like as if you will be reading this, you don’t even have time at all. You are too busy spending time with your Valentine.

Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching

All the photos here were taken with Canon 1000D and Sigma 18-200mm lens. No internal flash or speedlight. The lens got no IS and I got no tripod, my hand shaked a lot! I could only survive with continuous shoots and taken more than 700 photos(if I can recall correctly) and then deleted about 200+ of them on the spot to clear the memory card, then came home filtered again and all I can say is that only 20% or less are OK, the rest all not OK(this benchmark is my own, not according to the pro ;p).

Managed to finish up one battery pack ;p Don’t even ask me what kind of settings I used, I only know I’m using the AV mode and simply adjusted here and there without knowing what I’m adjusting and zooming in and out.

This is my first time handling a DSLR throughout the event with no help. Virgin DSLR experience hahaha…

Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching for two days performing at Kuching South City Hall (MBKS) Stadium. Got the tickets free, the tickets were given free to public anyway.

Went to watch it with my family 2 nights ago. Got very “good” spot! We’re late, all the good spots had been taken so we sat area at the backstage. Who to blame? Shouldn’t blame us.

The emcees were very “professional”, they didn’t even bother about the audience at my area. They only interact with the front, left and right. I think less than 3 times they even look over at our direction! Even the performances too. Sigh… So… What you see mostly are people’s butts. *LOL*

Let’s just see photos…

After beating the drums, they started to dance.



So many photos taken and this performance got the most of the good photos because of the lighting(I guess…) and also because they didn’t move much. Not only that, less butts facing us.



Many butts here! Hahaha… They were doing stunts with hats.


This even worst! Almost 98% of the time we looked at their butts.


This one less butts but hard to take photos. Too many jumping up and down. I thought they were mouse but actually they were ants!



This performance is nice but the lightings were bad! Almost all of the photos were screwed. Even I resized till so small the quality is still bad.


Quite a stunt. Managed to take quite a number of OK photos.


Totally screwed! Too dark for anything, movement too fast too.


This is very fast too but at least bright enough.

I didn’t take two of the performances namely the magic performance and juggling. All show butts! Even if not showing butts, just turn to our direction for less than 3 seconds or turining movement too fast for the juggling.

That’s all. Enjoy the photos.

You can see some slightly bigger version of the photos in catscity.net

Songs I Used to Sing in Karaoke – Solo Collections

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on Songs I Used to Sing in Karaoke – Solo Collections

Beware: Lots of videos ahead!!!

Used to… Yea… Because I won’t be singing karaoke in any near future for sure unless there’s people that is willing to go sing with me during office hour coz the person that I used to sing with no longer can do this with me. Why office hour? Coz the air is fresher and if at night, I can’t sing till they close, it will be a waste of money to sing at night for me *LOL* For now, no more karaoke session for me. Will surely miss it. Oh well…

It’s fine for the solo songs if I manage to go with some other people but the thing now is that I have no partner that can duet with me anymore sigh…

Here’s a list of songs that I used to sing whenever I go sing karaoke. Only all the solo songs in this post, others will come in later posts.

This post is meant for my own record and if I feel like singing I can always sing along by playing the videos. Besides that, in case I got offer from people to ask me to go sing with them, I can listen to the songs first so that I can sing better because I usually can’t get the right tune for some parts of all of the songs here, usually I made up my own tune for parts that I’m not sure.

至少還有你 – 林憶蓮

他不愛我 – 莫文蔚

11 Users Simultaneously

I know, it’s only 11 people in my blog at one time, it’s nothing to rave about unlike some people have so many.

This is the first time I have 11 users coming in at the same time with 10 of them from Malaysia. WOW!

It happened that on the day I posted about the RM900K house. However, I’m sure people come in not for the house but for my “naked” photos! Else how to explain the sudden spiked of traffic? Hmm… It was short lived ;p After a while, left 4 visitors *LOL* Luckily I managed to screen capture it, at least it’s a record for me.

Even the time I mentioned that I’m E… didn’t attract so much traffic, the highest was 8 users simultaneously.

Chap Goh Mei 2009

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Chap Goh Mei 2009

Yesterday was the last day of CNY. Finally celebration is over, it’s time to go back to reality. For the passed 15 days or so, everyone was so busy welcoming it and celebrating it, many weren’t in the mood to really work and even students didn’t feel like going to school. Next year’s CNY will be on Valentine’s Day. Wonder how will my CNY be next year? The beginning of year doesn’t go very well, hopefully life will be better later in the year. *cross fingers*

I’m going to show your fireworks again! I this will be the last until maybe Hari Raya or Christmas ;p I know some of you got bored of these photos already. What to do? I really got nothing to update and nothing interesting happening. How sad… Let’s see the fireworks.

All common types, nothing special. I saw heart shaped one but didn’t have the chance to take photo of it.


This is combo of 4 photos.

May you have a great year ahead and for those that have bad start like me, hopefully we will do better later.
