The Day Before, Yesterday n Today.

The Day Before: Am in Sparkling K and so happy! After scoring a small coup with the years of lobbying, Chub decided it may be time to lax a bit and order room service again!

.

They got REAL WHOLE SOTONG and crab parts inside! i tot it was so worth the price!

of cos i slurped it all!

YESTERDAY: Agent bought us dinner at this Seafood buffet place where you get access to the SUMPTIOUS and WIDE VARIETIED buffet spread as long as you order one main dish. We had Alaskan Crab.

Big Alaskan catch!

special crab scissors to pull the meat out.


hairy crab!

Today: It's national holiday here in Korea and I was lucky to have company again! Went Insadong where we spent an astonishing 8 hours there! so much time to kill there were 1 lunch, 3 sessions of coffee/tea and 1 dinner.

BURP

this wonderful Korean style zajiangmian was sold in one of the most famous Chinese restaurant in the Gwanhuamun area actually. Was a treat from agent before we went to the nearby Insadong.

After the walk around the free art gallery, popped by the opposite Ssamziegil too.

There was this shop whose owner collects a HUGE amount of old toys! It's open for viewing at 1k KRW each.

The Singapore Grand Prix. Event of the Year.

It's official. I'm a FAN. And I adore Kimi!

skipped Day 1 coz L had guests from Indo and had to entertain them. At the SKY suite. Yes. I know. ($%^&*#$)

Day 2 - 27 September 2008

Major highlight of the day was the trip up Ritz Carlton for the birds' eye view. i totally understand when they say we are the Crown Jewels. indeed!

At the track: these machines go so fast I tried ZILLIONTH times before i finally caught the first tail. you can feel my pride when i caught the WHOLE CAR. u r good la, chub!

I tot we had quite a good set of tics with our seats at this Turn ( i THOT was 18) so all the cars had to slow and i cld finally take pics with ease!
the huge crowd. L concentrating hard.
I swear it wasnt synchronised.
DAY 3 - 28 September 2008

L went to the area below the Grandstand to catch a close-up glimpse of the machines flying past at start-time. It was so LOUD i really tot my drums were going to burst and i was quite sure it would have if i had not moved further away!

It's Kimi! It's Kimi!

the much talked about Safety Car episode that contributed to Massa's downfall. we had the good luck to have the big screen right in front of us and thus witnessed the whole saga at the pit stop too. It was my conversion point. I nvr knew F1 was THAT exciting!

Nelson Piquet must have felt more than shitty.

spot the SC! this was already the 2nd SC episode. the cars had been racing for so long the tires were all so hot the air lingered thickly with the pungent smell of the burning rubber..

HARD EARNED $$

This assignment has only 3 words to sum up: Tough.Very.Tough.

Quite a mad rush in the morning w the groom waiting outside i only had chance for this veiled shot.

No the eyelashes for the day and night arent the same. Neither are the eyeshadows.

Stuck in Neverneverland

The World Is AWsome
not Discovery style. no spelling mistakes either.

Recent world news are awful.

With the headlines all over, the layman gets familiar with THE Lehman; sees Merrill Lynch more than Meryl Streep; hears AIA, goes wah lau eh; approaches Fed Reserve and begs rescue lei.

Honestly, I'm a finance idiot. It doesnt concern me as much as I feel for the food scandals from the veteran war rivals. Right, so now you are on the same front, finally.

When Flo mentioned couple of months back she's sworn off all china-made cosmetic products, I had brushed it off with a Haha. Now my heart cringes with the daily reports of those ill-fated babies.

I wonder now if my LS habit has anything to do with that Meng3Niu2 Pumpkin bought. TMDKNSKNsquareBCsquareBPUI. I swear too.

Does anyone still wish to ask why I have so many things to blog about?

Was in Padang 2 weeks back for the first time. Beautiful. Reminded me a lot of Chiangmai with the similar mountain backdrop at the airport. No matter where the road turned, you can almost never miss a peek at the mountains. awesome.

While on the flight back to Jakarta, I caught sight of the above. It's a Volcano right?? Spewing smoke?? those aint the clouds i swear, they were floating OUT from the hole. INCREDIBILE.

someone identify for me? Shyan! Mr Coot! you are needed!

Dropped by Super Indo in Surabaya and stocked up on my Hello Panda. Guess how many kinds i bought? ;)


Did the usual creambath in my fav Johnny Andrean. tot the Nun look was quite cool. hah.

shit, now i start to wonder who my blog readers are exactly..

Mind-Boggling Road Signs in Hanoi

Had lunch with an alumni and he brought me around town on motorbike. I am so glad he did coz I caught sights of the below very special road signs I never paid attention to! And thankfully to the organised chaos (cite source: Yeye) we were able to stop for me to take a pic whenever I wish. ;)

T-junction

X-junction

Signal for Traffic Light? Duh.


No Traffic Light?

School Zone


I-Gotta-Cross-The-Road?

Now, the below 3 are the ultimate. They mean the same thing - Pedestrian Crossing - but can you spot the hilarity from their differences? ;)

My alumni said: They are done by different artists. HAHA
