Small creature..

Have you ever watch food or travel living type of program on TV channel,
where the host is trying those creepy insects on the road side of Bangkok or China,
and you laugh at them when they dare not try those small creature?

I did.

Hahaha,and karma caught me fast.

-------------------

I was in Beijing,with my friend bringing me around for Food.
So we reach this road side stall, just like what we seen on TV channel.

and my 'dear' friend trying very hard to convince me to TRY,

"Something you don't eat everyday,and something you HAVE to try!"

With the male ego telling me not to chicken out,
I spent 10 RMB to buy a stick.
It looks just like a Satay,except its not Pork or Beef,
but scorpion.

"Congrats!" my friend grin evilly.

I have to apologise,I didn't bring my DC,so I have to capture these picture with my handphone.

The Fear factor


a closer look,the sting is still there.


In fact, they were still moving before being thrown into Oil Wok for deep fried.

To be honest,I feel like to chicken out,although I'm already holding a stick of cooked scorpions.
I put one into my mouth,slowly,just like how you eat SATAY,but 10 times slower.
and I give my first chew,

with a weird facial expression,
the hawker smile at me and said:
"You are suppose to taste the juiciness"

"Juiciness?!" I screamed inside my heart.

Hmmmmmmmm~It taste a little salty,
and the stomach of the scorpion have some fluid.
with the spices added by the hawker,
It actually taste quite nice.

Scary experience,but so far I'm still living and breathing.
*afraid of being poisoned by the scorpion.

Melbourne Trip

Visited Melbourne,and meet up with High school friends!

I like Melbourne,it has the best balance of western and asia Life style.
It was awesome to meet up with friends in such a beautiful city.




The City view from memorial Hall.


Eng hwa, Yi Hao, Ah Mao,Jason and me in Italian restaurant


In Eng hwa's apartment,with NAT. :)

------------------------

After this,
I'm going for few turn-arounds,and then I will go to Brisbane!
:)

Its been a while since my last visit.
Am looking forward to it.

Random update!

I wake up and find that my Laptop is dead.
DEAD DEAD.
And I have to change the hard disk.
So it means that with new HDD,all the things I have is now GONE.

It will be awhile before I get the software installed and edit my photos. :(

------------------------------

Came back from Melbourne,and Auckland,and Hongkong Turn,and finally today KL turn.
Its been awhile since I last update my blog. :P

Been having sleepless night lately.
Every night sleep around 4am and wake up 2pm in the afternoon.
Shucks!
my Biological clock is so wrong that I do not know when to sleep and eat.

Imagine you run from GMT +0 to +8,then the following life style is +11,and then +13.
Ahhh~ I've probably confused all of you by now..its just the wrong time zone that are killing me..

------------------------------

Looking forward for a break..
Today I smile to almost 450 passengers,within 2 hours.

just have to turn my face around and relax the muscle before I can keep going.

Smile John,
Just keep Smiling. :D

Manchester + Chatting + Cooking

It was cold,freezing cold.
One thing I dislike about europe's weather is that it always come with strong wind.
The temperature is always bearable,but not these freeze your nose off wind.

I was in Manchester for the weekend.
My second visit,this time I do not have the pleasure of watching Game in Old Trafford.
Instead, I went to City of Manchester Stadium,the home ground of Manchester City Football Club.


Game of the day is Manchester City Against Wigan

Score line is 0-0.
watching a boring game in 2 degree Celcius with strong wind is not helping much,
I almost dozed off.

----------------------------------

manage to catch up with Yee Siang and my cousin Yee Ling.
We went to Picadilly Station for a Cup of coffee,and few hours of chatting.


We share alot with each other.
about life,about choices,about future.

My high School mate,My baby cousin sister and I.
Sounds like a weird combination,
but it works out well.

we had great time.

-----------------------------------

Oh by the way,
I did cook something the day before I went to Manchester,
something simple,and I enjoyed it very much! :)



Give me a buzz if you feel like having some of those.
I can always make some up for you. :)

you know who you are,
those who reading this "John or Han" thing. haha

I'll back with more,
more to share with you guys.
