...a SHOOT to KILL

Finally, after month of planning, we finally agreed upon a mission. Codename :
"Opz Dawn" .

Me and my buddy decided to meet up at Changi to carry out the mission. It was indeed a good morning for a shootout.

We took up positions and armed ourselves waiting for that perfect shot.

...at last, at 0715hrs, we spotted the subject carefully emerging from its hiding.

Armed with our killer instinct, we began to engaged in the shootout... and without fear and favour we began to shoot from every angle possible.

Adrenaline starts to flow.... Situation becomes more intense thus a need to inprovise our tactics.


...and within minutes, calmness began to restore. Life was back to normal signalling the beginning of a Perfect Day.

Nature Boyz

Its that time of the month..and what am I refering to ?
Ahhhh !!!! Total indulgence ... Do the WET thing !

Took a day leave from werk for me & me buddy to harmonise with nature...

----------------------------------
Had a shock upon reaching the Waterfall entrance counter when I was told to pay $9Rm per pax and additional $5Rm for the car.... End up paying $23Rm to enter Kota Tinggi waterfall...Damnz..I never had to pay such a high price to enjoy the waterfall. Watz up with dat !

Anyway, what the heck...Since we drove almost 60 over KM I think..I might as well enter...

Nothing much changed at Kota Tinggi waterfall except for some new water slides..It looks weird though having a man made slides there..Does not seems to blend nicely with the enviroment..

The water there was cold...but is managable ... as least for me...Am quite used to the temp. of the water there...(*its all in the mind*)

We spend almost 1 hrs before proceeding to the next activity which will not be covered in this MODULE !...

(Injury Note : Buddy, had some injury on the toe. Bloodspot were spotted *who carezzz then*)

The FLYBait

ahhh...weekend..it was indeed a time to laze around and being a worthless piece of ARSE..hehehe...All I could think of is EAT & Sleep and soccer and mess up the BED ...

I tried a new activity today...which is called ..... "Catcha".



Decided to put a fly trap and see how many flies I can catch..
*the simple things in life that make a man happy*.....I'm amazed at myself.

Not for the weak hearted though ...

... longing for the sun

BINTAN.

An Island which I last visited about 1 years plus back sure does bring back fun memories of life with the Sun the Sand & the Sea.

20th May 06, and its time that I relived those fun memories with a trip to the island itself.

Reached TANAH MERAH FERRY TERMINAL @ 1000hrs. Waited for about 30mins before the check in gates are open for passangers.



By 1110hrs, we already in the ferry on our journey to the Island called BINTAN..



The journey took about 1 hr. Water was choppy resulting in the ferry bouncing up & down. It was rather fun for me but not for some. I now 1 person whom did not enjoy those moments *wink*.

Before set sail, we had a bit of a drama onboard. Tinz had found a wallet at her seat and when checked, we found that it contained about $500. *Kching*. Wild thoughts began rushing to my mind...$500 and we could all be having lots and lots and lots and a lot of fun. But suddently reality sinked in. Lily checked the wallet and realised it belong to on of the passanger onboard and immediately handed over the the rightful owner.And within seconds, everything is back to normal. Kudos to Lily for her action although wild thoughts actually crossed my mind...BAD Kitty !...anyway, I'll probably would have done the same..err "I think"
"

Enough of the DRAMA.

Upon reaching Bandar Bintan, we headed straight to our resort via bus.



Welcome to MANA MANA BEACH RESORT



First thing first, we checked in and soon after, we began looking at the SEA ACTIVITIES MENU for the day



This was then followed by negotiation for the best activity.



After much thoughts, we all agreed on a Snorkling Trip which cost us $35 each. It seems like the best activity at that time. We were told to be report at the counter of the sea sport shop @ 1330hrs. Before that, we decided to check out the waters there.






As we still have about 1 hr till the snorkerling session, we decided to head back to our cabana for some rest when suddenly it began to rain heavily. Had to wait for almost 2 hrs before the snorkerling trip resume.



We took a boat to a place called "BARACUDA Bay".. Not that there are baracudas there but just a name the Islanders called it. Almost clear water with lots of corals available. A sight almost similar to TIOMAN Monkey Bay.



Was given 1 hrs for snorkling there before we were taken back to MANA MANA.

.....continue someother time

...Power PRATA

Had a late dinner on last nite at a cafe called "The Prata Cafe". A nice cosy conner away from hustle and bustle of the city life. With choices of up to 20 varaiety prata & 20 thosai, u'll be definately be spoiled for choice. And not forgetting the so call 200 carpark lot available. I could not fine the carpark though. All I see was people parking by the roadside. I guessed I must have missed the carpark or something.

Anyway, with all those varieties of pratas available, I still could not find my all time favourite "Chicken Floss Prata". *damnz*. Thus, I had to settle for a "Banana Prata". Pretty much normal in the taste..nothing special about it. I have had better tasting "Banana Prata" elsewhere.

The ambiance at "The Prata Cafe" is good. Very much outdoor and very much "kampung" style.

The service was rather a bit slow. Had to wait for almost 20min for a Fried Rice. But it was worth the wait. The fried rice tasted good. As what was complimented by wifey & Lizwan.

Overall rating for this place. 3.5 / 5

u've got move

I see life as a game of CHESS.

Proper planning and move needs to be made to ensure achievement in your objective. There is a saying, failing to plan is planning to fail and it u don't make the 'move', u'll loose the game like dat .

I'm all for these planning thingy but there are moments in life that we just have to do it..



Plans do go wrong. We need to accept & adapt to those moments.

Why am I saying all this ? I don't even know...All I wanted to do was to showcase 2 dudes playing chess...and I end up talking this crap...Well that is sometime I did not plan for..

...wherever I may roam

Ahhhhh..... I need it... after months of firefighting at work, I'm totally burned out...I need a break...thus' along come Ops Genting & KL... a four days trip that should cool me then ( excuses ).

13 April 2006 and off I go to the "City in the clouds" .



An almost 6hrs journey from Singapore got me to the "City in the clouds". The journey there was rather smooth with occasionally slowness in traffic due to some road works along the northsouth highway. I ain't complaining though..its for a better road condition.

Wifey took the 1st driving shift all the way to MACHAP.



Me had to buy a road map to guide us thru' the journey although I wanted to rely on my SPIDER SENSE to lead us thru'...but then again...naahh..it ain't gonna to happen anytime soon. Wifey feels more confident with a MAP rather then my SPIDEY SENSE.

Reached "Theme Park" hotel at around 1530hrs. We could have reached earlier but I had made a wrong exit resulting in us having to go a longer route. So much for my SPIDEY SENSE.... I'm beginning to feel that I'm loosing my super power...*darn*



Our rooms had a good view of the "Outdoor Theme Park". This is the first time we had such a view. Usually we would get views such as a TREE blocking a scenery or juz a CARPARK view.. This time round, it was different.



We rested for a while before began exploring the CITY.



The temperature was not really cold so we decided to walk outdoor instead of using the sheltered walkway. The air was fresh although u could smell some vehicle gas ocassionally. Overall it was still fresh.



There was nothing much to do at Genting except for some sighseeing. Both MOMs and Wifey are not into those trill adventure rides. They wandered from shop to shop and to more shops.
As for me, I did try the skydiving experience with wind blowing towards my body at a speed of 195KM. I can FLYyyy... I got new power !!



This is the second time I tired this. Had fun doing this but still nothing beats the BUNGEE Jump that I had some years back. Anyway, it was still good fun flying without wings in the tube..I feel like a fish in a big aquarium with people watching from outside with full amazement. They must be thinking.." WAhhh...So big fish one, good CATCH"

The MOMs & Wifey did try a ride. They took the slow boat ride that simulates a scene in PARIS..BON Jovi !! eeh salah..BON Jour...



After this we headed back to our hotel. Lightout.

14 April 2006. After breakfast at the hotel, we checked out to begin our decent to KL City. But before that, we did our final tour around Genting. The MOMs & Wifey managed to do some last minute shopping...(biasalah, orang pompuan nie)

Here are some of the Garden Photos that I managed to capture before our decent to KL City.





Time checked 1430hrs...and we are in KL. Just 45min drive from Genting. We had wanted to check into hotel first but since we passed by "Masjid India" site first, we decided to checkout this place first.

The MOMs are full of smiles here...Biasalah...tempat dia olang...

The weather was cloudy when we reached and soon after that, the Sky began to CRY...juz look at the tears running down the streets.



We decided to had our lunch there.. We all decided to have a light lunch as we will be continuing to tour the area in search of that perfect blouse

By 1730hrs, we decided to call off the search and began proceeding to our hotel.

We got an intro of the KL Jam *damnz*

.

Traffic was at a stand still. We were stuck for almost 30min in a small lane before finally breaking thru' to the other side (teringat lagu " The Doors")..

At the hotel, we are given a VIP treatment..Prehaps because we took the PREMIER ROOMs. We were treated to a welcome cocktail. Ain't dat COOL !



We decided to scrap our plan for dinner that night since it was raining heavily. The MOMs looked pretty tired from the search misson earlier. They tucked in early while me and wifey had a quiet dinner of Tomyam soup & Paprirk Rice at a nearby restaurant.

15 April 2006. Rise and Shine...a new day and a new mission. First stop, KLCC.



The place was rather packed with human traffic. I decided to break away from the team to venture on my own there. I'm a one man army scouting and securing my own mission.



I had toured the area for almost 2hrs before regrouping with the rest of the team. By then, we were already hungry. Time for "Oscar Echo" or in other word...makan dahhh...

I had the chance to catch a glim of the latest NOKIA N series phone during my solo round at KLCC. The Nokia N91. With features such as an inbuilt 4 GB HDD space and Wi-fi connection, who could ask for more..Suddently my N70 feels small compared to this. I had asked the sales person about the price but no details were given to them yet as the release date will not be for at least within the few weeks.



After done with KLCC, guess where is our next mission. "Jln Masjid India" again...Since the MOMs had nothing to buy at KLCC, they prefer Jln Masjid India better...Hence resulting in "The Return to Masjid India".

This time round the sky wasn't crying. It was a clear day. Lots and lots of people. There was a weekend BAZAAR happening there with stuff being sold at a cheaper price. It was indeed a feast for the eyes with almost anything being sold there. Kindy of reminded me of Pertaling St.



I saw something interesting that caught my attention. A stall was selling Singapore Rojak. Since when there is a rojak called Singapore Rojak ? hmmm...



The tour at "Jln Masjid India" took about almost 3hrs and it was time to head back to our RHQ (Radius Headquaters).

As usual, we had our afternoon cocktail at the VIP lounge before heading back to our respective rooms. No dinner outing again as The MOMs are tired so me and wifey decided to roam around Jln Bukit Bintang ourselves. The weekend there is so happening at Jln Bukit Bintang with live band performance along the streets, night bazaar, foot massage, strip clubs, eehh sorry, mistook KL for Bangkok.



After much walking, me & wifey decided to settle for a KFC dinner before heading back to our hotel. Checkout the CHICK..err I mean the chicken..
