Meeting Up

I'm finally back from Cardiff to KL for CNY. Will be around KL for 2 weeks. I am hoping of getting the chance to meet some of the bloggers around KL.

So if you're interested, please give me a call at 017 2240 628. By the way, this is my temporary number which will expire after 2 weeks. Give me a call and we'll arrange a suitable time and place.

This is strictly not a date request. It's just a meeting up.

Photo

Got another set of photos from last weekend's party. Went to this cocktail bar called 'Rococo'. Rococo is s style of architecture and decoration with shellwork, foliage etc. (I don't have a clue what it means). Maybe someone could explain it better???

Anyway, the cocktail bar wasn't really brilliant. When we went there on Thursday, the cocktails were brilliant. But when we were there on Saturday, it tasted like an ordinary drink. I guess it's because they were busy on Saturday.

We wanted to take some group photos in the bar.

So we asked some random guys (photo below) to give us a hand.
As a way to thank them, we decided to ask them to join us in the photo.

But anyway, these British are not important. Haha... What I find interesting is maybe next time when I ask someone to hold the camera, I'll probably want to take a photo with them, as a way of expressing my gratitude to them. Rather than treating them as a complete stranger. Probably, the world will be a better place after all... :D Hehe...

Paintballing

Went paintballing last Saturday with my friends at the outskirts of Cardiff. The place is located next to a farmland, where farmers breed horses/donkeys/pony??? I don't know which describes it best. But one thing for sure, this creature is a pervert.... Look what is it sniffing??



Too bad we haven't got much photos taken during the game. You wouldn't expect us to carry around cameras during the game. The camera is gonna be splashed with paints....

Here is one of the casualties of being shot by paint-balls. Looks like a rainbow... Haha...

Since it's a friend's birthday, we went clubbing and drinking. Nothing much happened really, cause everyone is tired from paintballing. So everyone went back to Raymond's to chill.

This is just some random shots of me, as usual. I didn't drink much, cause I am scared of the guys sitting in front of me. They can slaughter me like a pig....

Apologies if this post is a little boring, cause I haven't got much photos in it. I'm kinda packing my stuff back to KL for Chinese New Year. For those who wanna meet up, you can email me at ycyong821@hotmail.com. I don't have a mobile number in KL yet, but I'll get a temporary one when I reach back. Sorry about that, but this is the best I can do. Please understand.

Strip Club 2

Went to the other strip club in Cardiff yesterday night. There's only 2 strip clubs here in Cardiff, and it was a friend's birthday, so we've decided to go to the other club called "Fantasy Lounge".


Well, it's much cheaper compared to the previous one we went to. Entrance fees are the same, and the drinks there are so cheap. Cheaper than the ones in the bar. 3 bottles of Alco-pop (Smirnoff-Ice) cost only 5 pounds. What a bargain... Next time I'll ask my colleagues to go there for after work drinking. :D Bet it will be odd and funny, since everyone in the office pretends to be serious.

A private lap dance with the dancers only cost 10 pounds!!! That's so much cheaper compared to the previous one. Hmm... I wonder where did all the money come from....

Anyway, the club is not crowded with people. Maybe because it's a weekday. Most of the people there are probably taxi drivers. Don't look down on them.... Cab drivers here are fucking rich.... They buy houses by cash and now, they're the only person who can buy houses easily in Cardiff, despite the credit crunch.

Homeless people

Here in UK, you won't find beggars. Because they're called another name, "Homeless people". But to me, it's Same Shit, Different Packaging.

Well, homeless people here is not quite the same as the ones back in Malaysia. To be qualified as a homeless person, you'll need a permit. Yes, you need to apply for license/PERMIT to beg for money. Or else, the local authority (DBKL equivalent) or police can catch you. SO, before giving out any money to them, make sure you ask for their begging permit. Haha...

Anyway, ever wonder why most of the homeless people here have a dog?? Because they like dogs? Dogs like them, cause they smell like dogs? Because British pity their dog more than them??? Hmm...

Or maybe their dogs can do the job for them???

Well, the reason why homeless people have a dog because they haven't got the 'License to Beg'. There are so called "Homeless Shelters' for them but not the dogs. These shelters are meant to provide them with a shelter so they're not homeless. Since their dog is not allowed to enter, in a way, they're free to beg for money anywhere in the streets.

Hogmanay

I've finally got photos from the Hogmanay party in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was awesome... I thought it was a British or a Scottish thing, surprisingly, it's an international festive season. Lots of asians, austrailians and other races turn up for the street party... Yeah... they closed off the main street just for the party... The following are some photos that I've got from a friend of mine.

This is the ticket showing the map.... Don't really need to pay for it if you are there really early... I've wasted £10 for it.

Look even the Mario brothers (sisters) turn up... :D


Well, Hogmanay is also being celebrated by the homeless...

End of Holiday

Just finished ironing my shirts for the week. Everything feels so dull today cause it's the end of my year end holiday and it's back to work tomorrow. Argh....

Well... I had my time in Scotland but it just happen that there isn't any snow for skiing. Spent quite a lot of money during this month... I've been going out every week and I've been spending about 100 pounds every week.... It's just not like me....

Hope I can save enough money to bring back to Malaysia in CNY. :D

New Year & Ski Trip

Haven't been blogging for almost a week, cause i went Scotland for skiing. Too bad there isn't much snow in the mountains and the ski slopes aren't open. SHIT! At least we're not the only groups who're dissapointed. We bumped into a few students who're planning to do canoeing and ice mountain climbing. They have to change their plans cause there's not enough water and ice... Haha...

Anyway, we went sight-seeing around Scotland and took a few photos. Since I'm not really into photography, so I just tag along admiring the scenary. Photos below are some that I've taken, while learning the 'Art of Doing Nothing'.

Frozen River - No water for canoeing

Winter can be colourful sometimes

This is frost, not snow.

More frost, no snow, no ski...

This is Soo, my friend

This is me

Anyway, what I've learned from this little ski trip is that if you're after a pure white Christmas, Scotland is the place to be. Why?? You see white snow and frost everywhere. And most importantly, there's hardly any indians, chinese, blacks and other races.... It's a pure white stinking Christmas...
