Ke Tiao Kia, Again


Map by Wikipedia

Some people asked me about the location of the Ke Tiao Kia stall as in the one I mentioned here. So I took the liberty to find and locate it on the map.

Actually I do not know how to go there.

Why? because I was sleeping on the way to the stall...

If my memory served me right... I remember we're passing by Carrefour Kepong, so it should be around there, go find yourself.

By the way, I heard the area was called 为吃街?喂食街?

Play with the map above and see you can figure out the road to there, the center of the map is where the stall situated.










Finally, after a month I started the marathon, this is the last post of the month. It was challenging as I have to think of new thing to write everyday.

But it was fun.

I hardly write anything at all these few years and it was pain in the ass to write something longer than 100 words.

But I did it... by splitting it into 30 posts...

Call me a cheater, but I like ar... 吹咩。。。










Will come out with a review post and see what I left out over the 30-day post. I hope I can cover more things I like and I don't like.

I assure you the things I cover the next few months... will be slightly more interesting... kakaka...

Bali Panties


PENTAX Optio S4, 1/60, f/2.6, 5.8 mm, ISO 100
Taken on April 12, 2007


During the Bali trip, we went for a SPA massage.

These were what they asked us to wear for the whole process of SPA.

Air-conditioned room + nothing but pantie + sticky skin scrub = cold-like-hell-out-of-this-world experience.

Not bad at all.

Always think the Proton logo shares the same feeling with Thundercats logo, don't you think so?

Maybe I really should get one and play with it... hehe...

Sunset outside My Room

Scene Outside My Room

茜さす 帰路照らされど.../Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo...
椎名林檎/Shiina Ringo


Photo was taken outside my room.

I think it makes a good combination with the song
"茜さす 帰路照らされど.../Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo...",
which means
"Though the sunset’s glowing colors shine my way home..."
by 椎名林檎/Shiina Ringo.

This is one of my favourite songs of all times.

"I place the headphones on my ears and listen
Someone sings a song. I feel so blue
Now darlin’ promise me
Please tell me something words to soothe
I don’t wanna cry"


Me too...

Detour

If life is really easy that you don't have to choose from anything and it's all the way green light, wouldn't it be nice?

Too bad it isn't.

You just have to stop somewhere and wait for another round of green light.

Or you can choose to take a detour and go the other way.

Different route, different scene, different experience, I picked this one.

Just found out through an anime movie, strawberry belongs to the family Rosaceae, or the rose family.

So Strawberry and Rose come from the same family. Does it mean they share the same characteristic, beautiful but full of thorns?

Hopefully not.

I was on the Kuta Beach in Bali.

Can't remember who took the picture for me and all the EXIF data are gone with the resizing & compression.

Anyway, we know that we are prohibited to swim around that area.

The 2 guys far away... I think they were drowning...

Guess I was lucky to notice the warning.

p/s: Anyone knows the one who took this photo?

Have you claimed your petrol subsidy? I have.

It took me only 10 minutes from filling the form until I got the money, that's what I call efficiency.

So... how much do I get? A total of RM625 for car under 2000cc. Divided by 12 months, it's RM52.083333333333333333333333333333 a month.

Hey, I think my diet plan to feed the car can work!! No kidding!!

Time for Diet

2 weeks ago, everyone rushed to the petrol station for the last taste of the RM1.92 petrol, and that's including me.

Well, the time has come and my petrol meter is starting to blink. Like it or not, I have to feed my car with RM2.70 petrol.

It's time for the owner to diet. I will remember my last 400km of cheap petrol.

Found this somewhere sitting inside my harddisk.

Drawn by an ex-colleague using just only MSN. It was pretty neat.

Well, that was 3 years ago... I still look the same... the only difference would be I have already changed my specs, hair grew longer and gained a bit of weight...*sweat*

Ke Tiao Kia


Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd, 1/5, f/2.8, 4.7 mm, ISO 400
Taken on May 19, 2008


Ke Tiao Kia is one of the specialties in Johor. We won't see it easily in Klang Valley area and most of the locals here don't even know what is it.

During the day returning from Cameron Highlands, we decided to stop by at Kepong for dinner. And that's how we discovered probably the only Ke Tiao Kia stall in Klang Valley.

I lived in KL for 7 years and this is the first time I ate one in KL.

I was crying when I was eating it...... joking.

Use smaller aperture to make the DOP larger, so that the focus on hand and the people will be very sharp.

Personally in love with this photo.

Water drops froze by the shutter of the camera. It looked like chain of tears that are shed by the Heaven.

Took more than 50 photos in order to obtain such effect.

It's not easy therefor I like it.

This is when you know petrol is not cheap anymore.

RM1.92 -> RM2.70.

41% increase in the petrol price.

It's time to eat less to feed the car.

Went to Cameron Highlands with a bunch of friends.

This was where the part the air became very cool and breezy, so we turned off the air-cond and winded down the window.

Couldn't resist to put my camera outside of the window and take some high speed photos.

But it's dangerous, so kids, DO NOT IMITATE!

Took the picture inside Bukit Jalil Recreational Park.

The tortoise walked itself up to the stair from the nearby pond.

Don't know what is the reason it wanted to do it. It did make an awkward scene. Hence the photo.
