clear blue skies...

after days of enduring the horrible weather in kl marred by the worsening haze, mother nature decided to hit back... and she did so - with a vengeance...

it poured this morning for about 5 hours or so... and i haven't seen rain this heavy since god knows when. i just stood at the door of my house, witnessing nature cleansing itself. somehow, it feels so good. the strong winds... the smell of rain... ever so pleasing...

at the end of it all, the sky was crystal clear once more... =)

glory glory man utd!

feels like forever for the season to start. but wait no more - epl 2005/06 is here!
and for the first match of the season, man utd vs everton. felt like a drug addict getting his fix watching this match (although i have no idea how that actually felt like). glued to the tv for the whole match! =)
as for man utd, i dun think they'll have an outstanding season as they haven't really strengthen the squad. but i guess they'll be much stronger compared to last season and they'll be able to perform more consistently. with van der sar, at least their defense will be more reliable. and with rooney, ronaldo and van nistelrooy settling in with their partnership, things can only get better. my guess for this season? it'll be a two horse race between man utd and chelsea. arsenal will still be around but i dun think they'll be strong enough to challenge. and liverpool? they'll realise they were just plain lucky last season (especially in europe)... muahahahaha...
with that said, i really do wish man utd will finally strengthen their midfield. personally i feel it's the weakest part of the team and the most important. it's the link for the whole game! if the midfield is not running, it's like a car without it's engine. with ronaldo, fletcher, giggs, scholes and keane, they've got a good foundation to build the midfield around. but keane and scholes are almost past their prime. they need one or maybe two world-class midfield who can hold up play and pull the passes from the middle of the park. i say go get ballack!

=) just getting a little too excited at the start of the season, especially with things looking rosy for man utd...

picture gallery

i've always wanted to post these pics up (there's many more actually) but i've always procrastinated as usual... anyway, i dun really know in which order should i put it up.. whether for it to be viewed from up to down or down to up? so here's a guide:

the first four would be the mount kinabalu pics taken way back in january 2000 and it should be viewed in this order - long overdue pics, the living legends, sulfur bath and on top of the world...

the next four are a more recent pics of my trip to redang island (june 2005) and it should be viewed in this order (for no particular reason) - redang island, enjoying the breeze, breathtaking view and my favorite...

since right now i have difficulty expressing myself in words, i think it's a rather appropriate time to put up these pics... i'll have a few more to post (2 in particular)... but you'll have to wait a while for that one to be up... actually, it should be up by tomorrow... =)

redang island

redang trip june 2005... from left to right: cheong kit, myself, ly and jason...

it's a little bit delayed but i think it's about time for me to post the pics from our trip to redang island last june... the best holiday i've had in recent memory with my friends... thanks guys, i've had a blast!

enjoying the breeze...

after a hard day at sea... hehehe... the 3 of us posing after a snorkeling trip...

my favorite...

my favorite pic from the redang trip... amazingly, after five years together, this is our first trip together... i love you...

breathtaking view...

sunrise in redang... it's the best view we could get through the cloudy skies... and it's still a magnificent view...

long overdue pics...

sunrise at the base of mount kinabalu... simply spectacular (although i look rather thin... blame it on the cold winds!)... (jan 2000)

i've always wanted to put these pics up but i've always put it off till now... this particular journey has always been memorable to me... not just because we conquered the highest peak in south east asia (it is rather easy to climb actually) but it is special because of the friends which went with me... and till now, they have been the closest friends i have ever had...

the living legends... =)

the fellowship i'll never forget at the highest point in south east asia... (jan 2000)

i've always been proud of the bond we had among us... talking bout the times we've had has always made me smile... i don't have a brother in life but they are as good as any brother i can ask for...

from left to right: kam, myself, ang, zi hui, jacky and jason...

sulfur bath...

a very gay moment for the "living legends" but memorable nonetheless... =) (jan 2000)

on top of the world...

kam and myself on the top of mount kinabalu... the best view i've ever seen... (jan 2000)

long break

it's been a while since i blogged bout anything. just don't feel like doing it anymore. can't see the point in blogging. i used to blog just to ramble bout my feelings, my thoughts. but reading back, i do realize that most of my feelings' thoughts were rather negative. depressed, sad, tired... is my life really so miserable? i dun think so...

perhaps negative thoughts are easier to put down to words. perhaps that's why there's very little happy blogs from me. perhaps it's the emotions. perhaps i'm just screwed. anyway, i dun think i'll totally stop blogging. perhaps all i need is a long break.
