Yangon July 07

Ok so it's gonna be random coz i'm lazy to rearrange.

My agent's car. so cute! he re-fitted the insides with sports car seats. vintage.
Shwe Dagon Pagoda - the outside. It was a longlong staircase inside..wld have been a perfect visit if not for the door boy overcharging me 2 US bucks for foreigner entrance fee. n i only realised it later. TMD.
woo. majestic.
the PURE GOLD pagodas were sights to behold.

these are Birthdays pagodas. u are supposed to pray accordingly to the DAY (mon, tues.. ) u are born on. i dun rem mine. so i go to the GENERAL temple. :P
cant see here but there's supposed to be flask held by the buddha that continues to have water trickling down. My agents explained that there are absolutely no fittings to cause this. divine..

gonna be a lil scary: this buddha has REAL human eyes. They were donated by someone upon his own death. cant see tt clearly here but was REALLY REAL eyes when i saw. woo. was said that certain days the eyes will close. *cold wind blowing*

Kong Kong...played with it 3 times. rang thruout the premise. hehe. was supposed to make u cry like angel singing upon your next reincarnation as a human. hm no way to certify tho.
For Pa, Ma, PBS, Pumpkin, PLS, Chubby. And Ling.

This was displayed in my agent's office. see the No 'Urining' ? hehe.

yes, this is the official money changer at the Yangon airport.

taxis there are notorious. trails of ants. dirty. n rust rust everywhere! no, it's NOT red paint u are looking at.

there are certain questions which you just gotta remind yourself to be prudent on asking.

when u thought all's at a comfortable enough level, it seems otherwise. The explanation may come in but U just feel like trusting the first feelings.

don ask for it Chub.

Happy Hatchday. =)

Life's been crazy. so up to HERE on the trips PLS says i seem to fly more than taking the buses.

Which is true. Coz i take MRTs.

And taxis. Atas right. Yeah, except i din pay for it.

Anyhow. had wanted to finally pick up my ass to post my Makeup Exam photos with the ultra babe in it, but it has to be that server's not found after several attempts. this post had better not suffer the same fate coz i'm damn annoyed now and as Siaosiaoputs it : " An Annoyed Man is a Dangerous Man ". Ok. she really said a HUNGRY man's an ANGRY man..

I always loved my Thai trips. Since the last one was 5 mths ago, i grabbed the opportunity this time to squeeze out whatever time i had for the massage and hair. Still didnt have The Pink i wanted, but i think it's enough for now.

Recently, I suffered the very first extortion in HCMC. In summary, the 3 Immigration ladies wanted so kindly to help me clear customs for the 80kg of (un)taxable load, but plans had to abort as I insisted on a receipt for my company claims after handing out 100 bucks sing. They claimed "We help you k. you can go". Thank you VERY MUCH.

A small imperfection on an otherwise good trip, since Pumpkin joined me with her friend and we had a wonderful time sipping Vietnamese Coffee on the veranda of a cafe. The view outside could be better than honking cars and bikes, though.

Rag's yesterday and we actually won the Chancellor's Shield. And Best Float Design. And Best Presentation. Congrats! Pity i simply walked past it to Marina and missed my much-coveted Best Presentation. had always wanted this for myself. shit.

Thank you Dumbledore for the lovely prez!

damn. card error. lost all photos of The Afternoon.

sigh.

Different Location. Different View. Different Person. Different Time.

the friend. the family. the man. the job.

Seoul Trip 2007 - March

to prove that it's a Work Trip.
i wonder if there's any korean hunk beneath this mascot costume. Exhibitons in korea is full of fun n games. won these.
i heard 'risoto' as 'mee soto' . terribly embarrassing at this ultra cool n romantic Italian resto.

NITE of the JIM-JIL-BANG

It is a MUST-TRY when you next go Korea. The bathhouse opens 24 hours and costs only ard 20 bucks. good alternative if you wish to save on hotel fees!

had a feast in agent's office prior to our jimjilbang niteout.

there was this ultra huge JADE bed rumoured to cure all illnesses. no harm trying esp when there's such a yandao boy on it!

so cute!

people just sleep ard. literally. view from the rooftop of the bathhouse.
can rent DVD to watch in private room y'know? dunno what kinds though.
my agent. my competitor. my legs. the common area for chats, food, tv..

my korean agent.
the sauna was HUGE. see the ROCK behind.

**********

cool computer my agent has.

did a double take when strolling along the streets -the flowers are so pretty u just have to snap them! It's such a common scene tt the locals don bother at all. only suakus like me take photos.
i tot the symbol's funny. hehe. any mental images conjured?

one of the afternoons, agent brought me to a typical korean lunch. wah lau, so heavy! how to work after eating???? see see..

started with the rice stirring into the soup. not porridge. they really take cooked rice and stirred it in.
dunno since when because a rice porridge steamboat.

this was good.
the end product.

the sandwiches from sunday morning street stall was heavenly.

another agent treat. was supposed to drink this rice water before the meal.
kim chi steamboat.

My fav sandwich stall's located at Kangnam Station Basement near Exit 3 k. woohoo..

The Happily Ever After Show

It was Jackon's wedding. much awaited. much anticipated. it started with disbelief (haha) until we saw the wedding ring, wedding photos, wedding plans. everyone had to accept the truth.

Everything was, as usual, as heartwarming as any wedding would be. Second in line amongst my close friends. well done. one singleton lesser!

this time's a lil diff cos i was the official makeup artist for the bride. my first bridal assignment! been doing the aunties, sisters, friends of bride, but never the bride herself. woohoo. achievement. hope it wasnt any disappointment!

the whole show started w last Friday's pre-trial dinner, trial n THE day itself..

THE DINNER 22 June 2007

Mao n Doi came along after our dinner. Pity Mao had to meet her colleagues.

It was apparent the onlookers had more fun during the trial at moi's house.
