I CoMe, I See, I CoNQueR

Cultural night at a seafood restaurant

The scene was so familiar, the scent was unmistakable. It was like a feeling of deja vu. Has the shell finally been broken? I see lights, as if for the very first time since a long long time ago. I finally came back to the city once again, and this time is an official visit.

So, I went through hills and mountains

Hmm...since I was away for a long time, I am so lost at words. I don't know where to start coz there was just too much to say. Let's begin with how I feel right now. I feel so much freedom, in the sense that I was able to breathe a lil slower (ahaks, although dust is everywhere). I don't have to worry much about work, and there are shopping malls everywhere to spoil everyone.

Another mountain to overcome. I got lost but came into this misty mountainous area.

Since my arrival a few days ago, my friends have been feeding me so much. Eat, eat and eat. Ah, I forgot to take pictures of the food and restaurant. Perhaps I lost the sense for blogging after awhile. Nevermind, I'll get back on track soon.

Recently there was so much of a havoc in the country. I didn't realize until I saw the news on the tv and the newspaper today. Pardon me coz I hardly have time to update myself nowadays. I could feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins and my heart went wrenching pain. I am so devastated and disappointed that things didn't go well in this place.

Oil prices increase, directly increase the burden of the people. I am not worried of the upper class, but very much worried for the lower class people. How I wish the politicians will come to small villages and see how these people cope with the recent price hike. To these people, RM3 is alot, and means food to them. For them to travel a long way to seek medical help nowadays, RM3 is so not enough. While the middle class is able to claim rebates on their vehicles, what about these people who earns just enough to feed their children?

The night before the petrol hike

And then, I switched on the tv, and I saw politicians were fighting over who was right and who was wrong. We have evolved and come this far where most of us are educated and civilized, and yet we are so backwards on our self conscience and morality. I guess I am not going to proceed this issue any further. I am just crossing my fingers so that the country will herald to a better and fair future for everyone of us.

Alright, let me tell you about the place I am working at. I wake up early in the morning and at 6am, the day is already bright. I open my door, I see mountains with clouds covering the peak. These days, it is really cool in the morning. I drive on the road without worrying if there was a traffic coz the roads are mostly not congested at all. I see people taking their breakfasts in the coffee shops and savouring every minute they have. People cross the roads without conscience. For them, the roads are for pedestrians, even without a zebra cross. That means you have to drive slowly and patiently coz the people are moving really slow, even they know you are coming so close. Btw, the moon isn't bigger than those in KL.

That mountain behind is so unmistakable

So, as I turn into my working place, I see another huge mountain above, with clouds around. The morning breeze just touches my cheeks gently as if I was living on the hill. It is so picturesque. The locals are nice and cute looking people when they are young, haha...But they got so dry when they get old probably prolonged exposure to the sun. They are petite and shy. Maybe shy just to this lil' foreign body. Don't think it's not hot here. It can be so hot that it burns your skin.

I went to a fish market. Look, what we got here! Pretty fish shouldn't stay on land.

I am still adjusting myself. Perhaps, I will need more time for that. Until I get the connection back, just a few pics for the moment.

When the night comes, the birds occupy the sky (although they just sitting around)

PS: Just came back from italian with a filled tummy. Btw, I have lost weight that it's so noticable... Gotta eat more to compensate
