Photos taken at the Le Tour De Langkawi 2009 event.

While the following pictures are taken at the Kuala Lumpur Criterium, Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur.


Hey, that’s Jose Serpa in the yellow jersey and his teammates.

This team is sponsored by Cervelo. Forgotten which country they are representing.





That’s a Ducati which was driven by the media at the event.

Look Alike?
A friend of mine sent me a wallpaper of the movie “Samurai Girl” and say I look 75% alike the girl (Jamie Chung) in the picture from that angle.
What do you think?

I went back to Malacca just after Christmas to celebrate grandma’s birthday. Kev and I drove down to Malacca for a one (1) day trip. The weather were great and the sky were beautiful that day.

My Recovery Ride
After missing from cycling for 3-4 months, I’ve finally had my first recovery ride.
The ride was at Putrajaya, 42km in total.



And guess who decided to join us on that very same day? Derrick, the photographer behind Futagozastudio tagged along for the ride.

Yamiya (middle) also joined us that day after missing for couple of months.



On that very same day, there was the pre le tour de Langkawi event going on at Putrajaya.

Free flow of Milo were given out on that very same day. And we a cup or two after our long ride. It was refreshing. ![]()

Love is…

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 14:4-8
Have a blessed Valentine’s Day!
Papa John’s Pizza - Better Ingredients, Better Pizza
Yup! Read the tag line! Papa John’s Pizza is definitely one of the better pizza that I’ve tasted so far!
Papa John’s Pizza is relatively new as they launched their very first outlet at Berjaya Times Square on January 8th.
I was doing some shopping at Berjaya Times Square with Kev. We were there really early and most of the restaurant only opens at 11am. So Papa John’s Pizza was one of the early ones. The restaurant was located on the ground floor, just next to Dome Cafe.
So we ordered their set meal which cost RM26.90, for 2 servings. The set includes a 9” original pizza, 2 glasses of coke and breadsticks. Pretty reasonable, I would say.

The breadsticks is a MUST TRY! The breadsticks was served with tomato puree.

For pizza, we ordered the Chicken Super Papa’s Pizza. I could even recall how hungry I was when we ordered the dish.
Pepperoncini peppers and special garlic dipping sauce was served with every pizza ordered. The sauce was really good too.
Do drop by Papa John’s Pizza if you ever drop by Berjaya Times Square. I’m definitely going back for second round! ![]()
Oh yeah, do delivery too! And apparently they are opening their second outlet at IOI Mall at Puchong.
Shop At ShopWiki This Valentine’s Day
When I first heard the word of ShopWiki, the first thing that came into my mind was Wikipedia. So what does “wiki” means?
Wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.
- source
ShopWiki is a revolutionized online shop. Somewhat similar to Wikipedia. Anyone can edit, update or create new content on any wiki.
At ShopWiki, you will also be able to find all the available products on the Internet and information on shopping guide as well as where to find the best deal around! You must be wondering, how does ShopWiki work anyway? ShopWiki has a Web-crawling technology like Google crawl, combining with an ultimate shopping search engine with wiki shopping guides. For those who owns an online boutique or shop, this is something you got to CHECK OUT! Because you would definitely want to be listed in their search results. The more search you have, the more buyers you will get, and the more income you will earn. Ahhhh… I can see dollor $$$ signs in your eyes already.
And the best part is, ShopWiki DO NOT CHARGE you for shop placement. Not bad, righ?
Back in my college years, when I was looking for laptop, there wasn’t any useful guides on buying a laptop computer around. And your friends would most probably tell you to get the highest end laptop because you can never go wrong with that but not all the features are fully ultilised if you’re just using for normal work. Yes, I know being an IT student, I should at least know what to look for when getting a laptop computer. Well, I guess I’m not those people. In fact, I’m noob when it comes to hardware. LOL! Anyway, ShopWiki’s shopping guide provides you lots of useful information from their recommended top pick, guide on how to get the best, types, pros and cons, and even features to consider! That’s right! That’s more than enough information to ask for. ![]()
Oh yeah, Valentine’s is around the corner. Maybe you should check out their Seasonal Guide on Valentine’s Day. For all the men out there who have yet to do shop for your ladies or perhaps this may be your first Valentine’s Day and you haven’t got a single clue on gifts, you would definitely want to check out some Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women over at ShopWiki. ![]()
Happy Shopping!
Random Pics: Aunty Yan’s Lovely Cats
I went to Singapore in December 2008, along with my mum, aunt and cousin. While we were at Singapore, we dropped by Uncle Richard’s place. His wife, Aunty Yan loves cats. And I love cats too. I used to keep cats many years ago. Cats are easy to take care but the only problem you will have is furniture getting damaged when they scratch around with their claws.
This is Susu. She’s a princess! Just so unfortunate that she was born deaf, but she’s really beautiful. And I adore her. ![]()





This is Uncle Richard’s daughter’s pet. I forgotten what his name.

And this is stray cat and decided to stay as their pet.



During her free time, Aunty Yan loves to paint. This one of the piece which I like the most. Lovely! ![]()
Advertlets Bloggers Paintball Tournament
Two (2) weeks ago, I joined some bloggers for a paintball tournament at Astaka Sports Center, Petaling Jaya. Advertlets is the official Online Partner for the most prominent paintball league in Malaysia, the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL) in year 2009!
Since the event was organised by Advertlets, registration fee was ONLY Rm10 for bloggers which inclusive of paintball marker rental fully equipped and paintball pellet. Cheap, isn’t it? So I thought, why not just give it a try since it will only cost me RM10 instead of RM90 and I’ve always wanting to try out paintball.

Those are called goggles.

This is how the battle field looks like. Each of the those thingy have their own unique names, like “snake”, “temple” and the rest I can’t really recall.

Those are called the paintball marker and the socks covering the barrel are called barrel socks. Like, duh!



The Malaysian Paintball Academy (MAPAAC).


Before the game begin, Mr. Wong, the instructor gave a briefing on the safety, rules and regulation of the game as well as how use the paintball marker.
Most of the bloggers that came for the event were first timer including me. Of course, there are those who are experience players who join the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL).

The attire recommended were long sleeves and pants, so I wore my orange Nickelodeon’s t-shirt which was the only long sleeves t-shirt that I have. And apparently that there should not be any orange on the player shirt. Luckily they wasn’t strict with the rules. ![]()

This is a picture of us on the battle field. Can you spot me in orange?

This is our team - Yakuza. Left to right - L-R: Uncle Z (En. Zahari), EVo, myself, Marcus and Aizuddin


Left to right: Ashley Teng (camera lady of the day), EVo, Uncle Z (En. Zahari), Marcus, myself, Aizuddin, and Josh Lim.
Most of the player in our team have either no or minimal experience in playing paintball and it quite amazing that we managed to win 1st runner up for the overall game. As being said here, the top 3 winning teams will be sponsored for their registration fees for the 5 rounds of MY-NPL 2009 and stand a chance to win attractive prizes in the MY-NPL! So our team was qualified to play for MY-NPL. But last minutes I decided to pull out due to other commitments.
I did enjoyed paintball, it was fun shooting people. But it obviously wasn’t fun being shot by others. At the end of the game, I can home having several bruises and one severe injury on my knuckle. I got shot on the knuckle just before the last game and it hurt so bad till my right hand were shaking in pain. Luckily Marcus lend me his pair of gloves for the last game else I might not be able to survive.

Well, they don’t call it paintball for nothing, right? ![]()
