as i was watching

it was a hot day sunday to shoot hoops but i went anyway coz i haven't played for some time. heck i'll play as long as its not raining.

the hot hot heat reminded me during the summertime in the us where i would play bball for hours and drank tap water when thirsty. my family and i would jump from one garage sale to another and got ourselves some pretty cool and useful stuff. a remote controlled tank was one item i could remember. a skateboard and a bike. during summer, i would ride the bike up the hills and around columbia's college where my pals and i would end up at these roman columns. we then climbed on the base of the column and jumped from one column to another. we'd be at the arcade and never once feel like we don't belong. maybe because people there don't eyeball you if you are different. at least educated people there don't.

winter was also an awesome experience. especially if it was your first winter. my first winter was actually not one of those winter where snow flakes would fall and in the morning there'd be knee high snow ... it was ice. the road was sleek with ice and this weird looking vehicle would throw salt to the asphalt to melt the ice. in the morning me and my brothers would have to scrape ice from the windshield and have to wait for almost 15 minutes for the car to warm up.

... the thing that i love the most about winter is .. the virgin snow ... it would start snowing around 2 to 3 am .. so my bros and i couldn't go out .. so in bed ....on our knees .... we looked out the windowas we watched the fallen snow flakes grew in numbers... the dim street light made it more beautiful .... and in the morning .... all we could see is this powdery white puffy snow. we'd put on our jackets and shit ....and the crunching sound of snow was heard each step we took. i did a summersoult and it didn't hurt a bit.

the wind ... calms me down .... always does ....

-------------------------------------------------------------------les blues ***************

ok ok ok .. italy won .. and congrates tu italy .. they won ... so they're better .. penalty or not .. they won ..

but france played allright .... they perform not so bad ...

we have to wait another 4 years for the next one ...

mr philospher please explain

still loads of picture i wish i could scan .. but the lack of time and scanning device .. i wasn't able to execute my plan of scanning my 3r lomo photos ...

penang was good .... the drivers are crazy lah

what the hell am i doing here

nasik kandaq
going up
xidi pointing the way
chilling at high altitude
reflecting
trying to do that floating rock shit
xidi enjoying local theatre
qadir looking for momentos to take home
the master showing how it is done
a snap before leaving

arrival

qadir's pre-mature exit
the talk of the town
butter late then never .. now what?
boarding the ferry at 6.45 am
found love lane.
a little rest before touring the island
arif a.k.a the walking talking atlas browsing the penang map ... him and his photographic memory. looked as if i'm helping.

mr. bombay

the most hyper and drugged passenger on the train
first time on train
look out and you'll see.
qadir screaming bombay! even tho the train was heading to hat yai. here he looks as if he's done this 100000 million times.
arip and xidi enjoying what looks to be a very expensive beverage. "where's my coleslaw?" xidi wondered.....
again screaming bombay! and once a while madras!

penang

we went to penang by train

is land

pulau tioman was good ...

but i was at perhentian once so .. the snorkle was even better there ..

but .. i'm glad i went .. i mean ... the clear blue sky .. the sparkling sea .. the breeze ... everything la ... fits man ..

everything ....

after i got back .. i was like ... damn ... this suck ....

why do i like islands ..?

i think it is because .... i like the isolation .... the peace and quiet .... and how .. your problems and fear just dissolves with the wave ...

when you look at the horizon .. you'd always think about life ... and death ... bout how the world is so fucked up ... and how god created this one spot where everything ... fits ...

i like that ...

and at night .. where everything is quiet .... and you are all alone at the jetty ... looking far ... with the wind blowing ... ahhhhh ... only if i can hold that 4 ~ 5 second of my life ....

anyway ... ... i hope i can visit more islands or u know those spot where everything fits ...

world cup

brazil and england are out...

i was watching tv3 and this chick said that england and brasil are out so she felt like there's no more reason to watch the world cup ..

if they were in the world cup .. playing like they did .... i won't watch the world cup ...

brazil played like a bunch of pussies while england ... the all-time hyped ... all talk ... superstars ... can't cope with the aging french ...

the french ol timers ... zizou and makalele and thuram ... viera all 30+ ... all .. over achieved themselves ....

so to england fans out there don't take it to heart .... england players don't have the technical qualities to win the world cup ...

to brasilian fans ... walk the talk la ..

portugal won because they were lucky .. but when luck runs out ....

i think italy would win ...

maybe ... or german .. or the aging french ...

hehehe .. at least if france was to lose ... they could use age to justify the lost.
