Europe vs Malaysia
Cool! this 2 photos are taken at very different place. One is at Kulim Hotel of Seri Malaysia and another is a Palace in Dresden. Actually we can see things out the best of it.




It's the part of my topic "Singing In The Rain"
Today I have my first photo of rainy day. The balcony outside my apartment. I never get to sit on it having coffee. You know being alone with coliqs here is rather bored. There is a set of behavior that guide us through. Not like at home even jumping on the bed will do.

Not a bad day for me later to take some pictures of how the rainy day here.
Ford Focus ST
Remember the Date : A day after Germany lost to Italy World Cup (0-2)

It was an early wake up call from my jet lag pattern experience from the flight just a day before. So I took an early walk around my neighborhood. So you just see the latest Ford Focus ST edition. One of the car consider in my list for next replacement. Some says this car looks ugly. I bet design concept has everything with individuality. I say ok. But best of all from this car is the handling. European handling and value for money back in Malaysia. But do keep in mind that Malaysian edition doesn’t look as good as the one shown in the picture. It needs a little bit of upgrade will do. Rims from 16’ to 17’ is the basic.
Premier Suspension Bridge Erm, let me see where we are heading to? I see, the bridge infront has anything cool? Yea, it was a premier suspension bridge where still cables are not invented yet during the construction. So back around 150 years ago, the engineer can’t figure out how to build this bridge, so he came out with the idea of steel plates that cut into long small pieces and screwed them together. That time, it was consider a big accomplishment.
Transport Needed! Ok moving on, oh yeap. Important photo you shouldn’t miss out. My mode of transport for the next 5 months to 6 months. It’s tram7 by DVB at Konigsbrucker Street. If I am taking this tram down stream, I will be heading downtown and opposite way is to my company.

How much does it cost me for the tram ticket?
For monthly ticket cost Euro42. I haven’t discovery how far I can go with this tickets I have. So it’s unlimited travel is a certain areas.

We also found a very interest way of living of people hear. So this ticket the first time we use it. We have to go the machine inside the tram to punch a start date ourselves. Nobody is checking our ticket all the time. So in simple word, if I bought this ticket without punching it, I could be using it again and again or maybe delay my punch after 2 weeks. Worse, I dun even buy any ticket at all and I get to ride on the tram. Erm.. Trust is the word that describes all.
It tells all about my room


Miss Me? I guess everybody must have missing me. So that's how I look here. Nothing chance I guess.
Ah Pek Kayaking I load this picture just with the simple truth that I like sports.
and life is not just about working for the company. It’s about walking for ourselves and families. If I live up to his age, I am pretty sure I will be doing that too.
Zwinger : Dresden Art Gallery

Buit by Augustus the Strong. Very important people in their history.


This a part of the Art Gallery. If you even came across my house in Green Heights, there is painting of 2 angels. Actually, it was just only a part of original Sistine Madonna by Rapheal (1483-1520). Most people think this painting is at somewhere Paris or Vienna. But who knows the original one is at Dresden.



The European style buildings as usual. I found this perspective really good. But there devils.


This picture is taken without any meaning. It just a part of the detail of the Art Gallery.

Famous Dresden Cheese Cake Well I have been trying all night to load in pictures. Since the wireless is FOC (Free of Charge), it keeps on disconnecting from time to time. So i have to things quick. Part of it is to get this story in short and do another publish imediately.

This the picture of Dresden Cheese Cake : Dresdener Eierschecke
It almost come to an end of our city familiarization. We are brought to a coffee shop to enjoy the cake.
Some Secret

I have no idea why my apartment has wireless available starting for today. It's free. My only guess is the office next door forgotten to shutdown the internet wireless.

Before To Europe
So I guess it almost come to an end of my blogging this time. I send my regards to my family back home in Kuching and Stef. My BiB (niece). I won't be long in Europe. Just only for 6 months. It's chance of a life time. Mixed feeling having now.

I 've got all the blessing from everybody so I am ready to put myself in full throttle. So let me just load another picture I edited for my niece back home.

So see you all again. I am going to miss everyone of you. Specially my mum and dad. Opss.. Stef! You too. Of coz my both caring sisters and funky bro. Supportive bro-in-laws. Lovely nieces.. Bobo, bibi, Christine & Elmo.

So I will be there to see if i can have a chance to do my blog again. Soonest there is, u will see my updates really soon. Bye
Stef's Bro comes to Pick Us Up. We are at the Car Rental company. The place where Stef's bro worked in Midvalley. So what are so excited about. Her bro in law is posing next to the add. Actually, there someone we knew in the ad.
Look closer this ad. There is somebody looks really familiar.

Looks like Japanese Businessman. Actually no, he is Stef's bro working in the car rental company.
Shopping DAY Bags are Packed, Ready to Go
Going shopping outside the door
Stef : See I can be exactly like the girl at the poster. Hand on you hair!
Stef :Erm this one not so bad. Good for myself.. but I bet it's goind to be better for my sister. What do you think Eric?
Eric : Oh....huh? Yea good good. buy buy? hehe...

Turn around. This one also not bad. Yealor.. of course everyone also not bad. If bad where got ppl have to put the risk to put it in the stores. So I left her in this area while I go to my own business at the gents and also bought a carry bag. With modern technology, can be easily located. But anyway, is not too far from here.. after i left for 20 minutes.
Erm.. Stef : This one looks good for my eldest sister. Longer sleeves and not too short.. good for a teacher. So did u buy it? Yea of coz! It's good to spend money some more it's sponsored.
Shopping... pia mia shopping...erm..give me a idea of putting them under garment inspection in factory. Hello stef u realise me taking your picture bo? I bet the person next to you also dun give a damp about me... haha.
So the shopping goes .. di da dee.... di da di da dee....
We are meeting up my bro in Midvalley. While waiting for him to come, me and stef felt abit hungry. So we settled down on the fast food Japanese store. Her favourite just simple sliced beef with soya source on white rice. Yashinoya, I first introduced to her when we were in Singapore. I get to know this restaurant when I was Japan Kumagaya. I landed around mid night, the one my senior brought us to supper at Yashinoya.

Brother came to meet us up. That's petty for him to look for parking space in Midvalley for 45 minutes. So I belanja him Secret Recipe. I am not really sure he ordered for lunch. Chicken chop I guess. Me and Stef ordered cheese cake (recommended by my Ipoh's friend). Well I am not the biggest fan of cheese cake. But Stef enjoyed most of the portion. Good Good late she grow bigger abit. Later I will go with my bro and Stef will meet up her own bro.
It's me and my gf. Saying goodbye to my gf and hello to my bro. Me and my bro going to have our time out. She.. will be left alone in Midvalley. Yea.. just for awhile. She will be still doing her shopping. I think i will give her some time of her own. Following girl to shopping anyway is not a great idea. I believe I have done enough just now. She is abit pai seh me.. taking pictures of her choosing at ladies department. Amazing. She hardly walked around 2000 sq feets in 2 hours. Not like guys, i can finish the whole Midvalley in 3 hours. Anyway, she will doing her shopping and later picked by her bro for dinner. We both have a very important task to do. Getting along with our brothers in private. hehe.
Day Out with Bro My Day Out with Bro started here. Picked up with this 15 year old Kancil which been with us since I was in Uni 2nd year. Just a bit hard to let go. Soon my bro will sell it to his coliq in KL. So Dad, mum, Sisters & bro. Look closely KK8677Q is the luckiest number we treasure in out life at far. Dad won 1st price lottery when I was in primary six that year. We have a house party. He invited all his coliqs. My eldest sister invited her godmother. Time is traveling so fast isn't it? Then later all the money left, my dad used it to renovate the Kitchen in Kenyalang part. To provide place for my mum to make Curry Puff.

So after so many year KK 8677 Q serving us to Schools & bakeries. The old Nissan Sunny 130 was later replaced with this Kancil. I remember the first day this kancil join us, bobo broke the dashboard cover. Haha. She is just the age like Elmo (~2 year). Then it is used to send her to Kindi.

This F1 is not common for many countries. The F1 Renault currently on the top of world. You will this car is much longer in the TV much longer then S-class. All the best standard is put together at once. V8 engine with 800 h/p.
My enthusiasm with auto never last. Anything with engine catches my eyes. This is Porsche Caymen S. Even kids can start to love this big guy toys from a very young age. But looking at the economy and feul price in Malaysia, I bet me owning this car has be higher chance compare to the next 20 years.
Just a recap of this summer.
1. X men 3 is one of the best for superheros movies.
2. Fast to Furious Tokyo Drift (No idea who is the actor and story sucks!)
3. Superman Returns (Maybe another 10 years will do another return)
4. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead's Man Chest (Going to be fovourites)

Buying tickets at the counter. Watching movies in big city is not something easy. I just get to know this weekend, I would like to watch "Superman the Returns" but understand from my friend that tickets are fully booked. Wah so big deal for a guy having his RED underwear outside. So you get to see Chia lining up while I am waiting.
This the picture taken by my bro as I am away to the rest room. It shows the capability of this camera taking pictue in the dimp light. Impressive isn't it? This place doesn't look like a Japanese restaurant for me. But we have been here twice. The food is not bad but the price is low either. But that's totally fine. As long as we re having good time.
This is me, picture taken by my brother living in KL. We are having dinner at Japanese restaurant for 45 minutes that later we will catch a movie at 745 pm. You can see i still have chubby face. So watch out after I am back from Europe this December.

So now it almost come to ending of my blogging for this time topic. "Day Out with Bro"
Kuala Lumpur Best Beef Noodles The skyline in KL is nice. You can the ultra modern building and the very old abondoned house where the trees and grass growing out from the building. But today we are not going to the tower (KL tower). We are here to look for famous Beef Noodles.
Now don't look lightly on the stalls here. Germs are just waiting to be discovered. We went further and cross the road to check out the coolest breakfast in town.
This the place where everybody most talked about when in KL. Pronouced at "Ngiu Kee". Ngiu means cow. But it's the best know for beef noodles. Located at the heart of KL city. Lots of variety but only related to beef and also internal organs (including liver, stomach & etc). Well anything in a cow works for Chinese. There is a phrase saying Chinese will eat any creatures that the back is pointing the sky. So not much left that we don't eat. Only human & walking ape.
Stephy is smiling at the camera. Opss... I accidentally check out the girl behind her. Ok ok ..back to focus her back. Snapshot!

So Stephy is ready for breakfast. She is wearing the shirt mum bought from Hong Kong to impress me. Oh yea, I can see her ear rings that bought to her. Erm.. in KL, even the Gas tank also different color. RED.

So the tauke (Boss) of the beef noodle stall is preparing for us. Look at the bowls. I bet we are just early birds. Can't imagine it's going to be full house later. This tauke just stay upstairs at the shophouse. So you see that one thing that is flexible in Malaysia, people are still not too hard to earn money for living. Setting up food stalls and selling VCDs/ DVDs still pretty much easy.
9 out 10 people in KL knows where to look for the best beef noodles in town. Our mission accomplished. Rating to the noodles and soup 4 1/2 stars. Just simply what you see in this photo, fresh beef soup cost RM8.00 but it's worth the taste. Oishi des!
Aloha,

It's bee awhile I am away from my blog. Today I am in Gurney Plaza again, Starbucks, after my hair cut. It's been part to my preparation before departing to Germany tomorrow. I had a great time last weekend in Kuala Lumpur. Meeting up my girlfriend and my brother. Later part of my blog will features things happened in KL.
