Happy birthday to Swinburne Anime and Manga Society (SAMS) again... =D

Ok, enjoy the photos here... Too bad, only 4 photos here... =D

A Trip to China - Part 7

2008-09-15T20:53:00.012+08:00

The seventh day, 29th August, 2008, Friday.

As stated in our tour schedule list, we had "Dim Sum" (点心) as our breakfast. Yup, Hong Kong's Dim Sum is always delicious. After that, we went to a few places that selling gold, silver, candies, and etc.

Next, we had our lunch at 12pm something, and went to the harbour at 1pm something. At 2.30pm, the ship departed from Hong Kong to Macau, which takes 1 hour. Well, the ship or ferry just like sitting in a aeroplane. You have your own seat number and very comfortable as well... =D

Inside of the ship or ferry

Hmmm... Well, I spent that 1 hour just to sleep since we all were so tired and not enough sleep. At 3.30pm, we had arrived to Macau. Next, we had the city tour in Macau.

Here are the photos that I took when visiting the places... =D

The entrance of A-Ma Temple
(妈祖庙)

Sands Casino (金沙)

Too bad I can't take a better photo of this. We walked around in the Sands Casino there about half an hour, and continue to the next destination, which is very near to Sands Casino.

The Golden Lotus Square (盛世莲花广场)
(I don't know the real English name of this place)

The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral

Closer view of The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral

Another view of The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral

Opposite of The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral

Next, we walked along the street that is opposite to The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, to have our dinner since it was around 6pm already. After dinner, we went to our bus, and here I took some photos on my way to the bus... =D

A view the post office from the place where we had our dinner

Pos Office

After the bus, we had arrived to our hotel called Best Western. Hmmm.... This hotel is good. The room and toilet look comfortable as well... =D

So after check in, we rest for a while and continue again to another casino. First we went to a very high class hotel to see the Lucky Tree at 9pm.

The lucky tree in the hotel
(I don't know what is the name of the hotel)

Opposite of the hotel
It's beautiful, isn't it?

After that, we went to the second hotel, and went into their casino. Again, I don't know the name of the hotel... =.=ll

We went from the first hotel to the second hotel by walk. And I took some photos of beautiful buildings here, but I only post up 1 photo here since most of the photos are blur. =.=ll

A beautiful buidling again

Ok, the third place was The Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. Two words for me to describe the hotel, huge and beautiful. Well, they have a very big casino, a place for you to shopping, and a place for you to eat... =D

Anyway, I took some photos there... Enjoy... XD

The street in the Ventian Macau Resort Hotel

A small clock tower
(It's not a clock tower actually... =.=ll)

Food court

I think it's another food court if I'm not wrong.

After walking around, we felt hungry and had our supper there. My sister and I ordered 2 bowls of ramen, which cost HK$ 20++ each, from a Japanese stall... =D

Seafood Ramen

Beef Ramen

My both sisters shared the Seafood Ramen, and my brother and I shared the Beef Ramen. It's delicious... =D

After supper at 11.40pm, we went into the casino. At 12am something, we went out from the casino and back to our hotel by taxi. Before we went back, we saw something beautiful there...

One of the exist to east entrance

The golden ball
(Not sure the real name of this)

Closer view of the golden ball

Ok, after back to our hotel, we took our shower and slept at 1am something again...
So, that's it for the seventh day.

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

The eighth day, 30th August, 2008, Saturday.

Nothing much for the eighth day. We wake up at 7am, and had our buffet style breakfast in the hotel at 7.45am. At 8.30am, the bus brought us to Macau airport since our flight to Kuching was at 10.35am. At 10.35am, it's time to say good bye to Macau.

Say good bye to Macau in the flight

So, the trip to Kuching takes 4 hours again, and we arrived to Kuching at 2.20pm. Within that 4 hours, all of us had became a dead fish, and most of us slept the whole 4 hours.

Ok, that's the end of my trip to China.
Anyway, I'm looking forward another trip next time.
Thank you for reading... =D

The sixth day, 28 August, 2008, Thursday.

We wake up at 7am something, and went to had our breakfast at 8.30am, together with my cousin. Around 9am, we went back to our hotel and meet the other group members. After that, we went to Ocean Park.

We arrived to Ocean Park around 10am something.

The entrance of Ocean Park

The very first thing that we did in Ocean Park was the see the real Panda.
Oh my cat... They are cute... >.>ll

And after that, we continue to another part of Ocean Park by cable car. Before we arrive to the cable car station, I took some photos here... =D

Photo taken after seeing the real Panda in a shop

The Pandas: Look, someone is taking photo of us!

Kung Fu Panda

The panda

When we were in the cable car to another part of Ocean Park, I took some photos here. But too bad, most of them are ugly. So, I only post up 1 here... =.=llxx

The view from the cable car

Next, we went to 2 aquariums. The first aquarium we visited was nothing much. In the second aquarium, there are a lot of fish inside, and it has 3 floors. And here are the photos... =D

The first floor

The second floor

Too bad, I didn't take the third floor there. Haha...
Around 12pm, we played the roller coaster, sea rover, and "jump off from building" (跳楼, Tiao Lou). Er... I would say the roller coaster has nothing much to us, and so the sea rover. But the Tiao Lou is fun... XD

We only took about 1 hour to finish them all. After that, we went to shopping, see any souvenir to buy or not. Next, we watched the Dolphin show at 2pm.

Haha... The dolphins are cute... =D
But my phone camera didn't manage to take a better photo in the show since my seat was far away from the stage... =.=ll
Ok, the view from the seat at the Dolphin show.

The view from the seat of Dolphin show

The show takes half an hour if I'm not wrong. So we went to the back door of the Ocean Park and hanging around the shop there at the back door. At 3.30pm, our bus had came and brought us to hotel.

Around 4pm, we arrived to our hotel. So, we decided to take a shower and rest for a while. At 6pm, my sister's Hong Kong friend brought us to have dinner. Thanks for your dinner, Vanny... =D

And after that, we went to street shopping again. Too bad, I didn't buy any clothes that is fashion enough because I don't dare to wear them in Kuching. Also, most of the beautiful clothes there are expensive, except for the discount one. So I didn't buy any clothes that is fashion enough... =.=ll

When we were street shopping, my sister's friend brought us to buy a drink. Hmmm... I forget what is the name of the drink already. But it's Mango flavour, and like pudding drink... Lol...
Anyway, it tastes good, and costs HK$20 for 1 cup and HK$30 for 2 cups, if I'm not wrong... =D

The mango flavour pudding drink

So, we back to our hotel by taxi at 12am something, and slept at 1am something... Lol...
Ok, that's it for the sixth day.
To be continue on the seventh day and the eighth day. =D

The fifth day, 27th August, 2008, Wednesday.

We wake up at 7am something and went to have our breakfast, together with one of my cousin who was working in Hong Kong for few days. At 9am something, we went back to our hotel and wait for the other to start our trip today.
The first place that we visited was Ngong Ping Village (昂坪市集). The main purpose to Ngong Ping Village is to see the Tian Tan Buddha Statue (天坛大佛). We went there by underground. About 10am something, we arrived to Ngong Ping cable car's station. We bought the tickets, which cost HK$ 88 per person.

After that, we ride the cable car to Ngong Ping Village... =D
Well, it takes about 15 minutes to the village from the cable car station. It's far, isn't it?
Here are some photos that I took in the cable car.

After the cable car, we had arrived to the Ngong Ping Village. Before we go to the Tian Tan Buddha Statue, my sister and cousin bought drinks from Starbucks. After that, we continue to Tian Tan Buddha by walk.

This is where we came out from the cable car

On the way to Tian Tan Buddha Statue, I took this photo while waiting my brother to toilet... =D

Tian Tan Buddha Statue

Walk along the road, we arrived to Tian Tan Buddha Statue... =D

The entrance of Tian Tan Buddha Statue

The opposite side of the Tian Tan Buddha Statue

We didn't go up there since the weather was extremely hot. Also, we thought that entrance fee is needed to go up there. So we decided not to go up and go back to the cable car station. But after came back to the cable car station, someone told us that it's free to Tian Tan Buddha Statue up there... =.=ll

On the way to the cable car station, we stopped at a few shops. We looked around there and bought some candies. At 1.30pm, we meet our tour guard and went back to the first cable car station.

Before we go to our next destination, we went to have our lunch ourselves nearby. My cousin brought us to Delifrance... =D

After lunch, we went to the shopping mall nearby. We walk around there, since we still have some time before we meet our tour guard at underground station.

After that, we continue our trip to Disney Land. =D
Here is the train to Hong Kong Disney Land... XD

The underground train to Hong Kong Disneyland.

After the train, we had arrived to Hong Kong Disneyland.

Well, at the entrance there, your bags will be checked by the security guards. Check what? They only allowed 1 person to bring 1 bottle of water. =.=ll

Ok, after go through the entrance. It's about 3pm already. We rush ourselves to the street in Disneyland to watch the parade at 3pm. But who knows? The parade starts at 4pm... Lol...
Therefore, we went to a train tour there, which bring us to walk around in Disneyland. =D

So, don't get so near when you watch the parade in Hong Kong Disneyland next time, or else you'll get wet... (I got myself wet there..) =.=ll

After that, we went to watch the 4D movie. Wow... The 4D movie is cool, and the sound effects inside were dam nice... =D

Next, we went to Jungle River Cruise. The driver of the boat was funny and always talk about lame joke. The driver always scare us... =.=ll

Next, we went to the main street of Disneyland since it was near to 9pm already. And here, I took this... =D

The main street of Hong Kong Disneyland

At 9pm, all the street lamps will be switched off. OMG! What happen? A blackout? Lol...
Well, it's time to watch the Stars Fireworks... The fireworks were beautiful, and dance with the music played as well... =D
One word again, cool... XD

Ok, after the fireworks, nothing else you can do since they're closing. So we went back to the underground station. Before we reach the underground station, I took this...

The mickey mouse in night mode... Lol...

Haha... beautiful right?
So, we went back to the underground station, and back to our hotel around 11pm.
Haha... We were half dead and so tired... We didn't had our dinner until we came back to hotel

2008-09-05T23:21:00.014+08:00

The fourth day, 26th August, 2008, Tuesday.

Since we finish visited all the places in Shen Zhen that is stated in the schedule already, we only had our last breakfast in Shen Zhen at the fourth day. After the breakfast, nothing much to do. As our tour guard promised to bring us to shopping, she brought us to a shop, which is selling some bags, wallets, and etc. The shop is actually near the train station to Hong Kong.

Around 12pm something, we went to Hong Kong by train. Of course, before you go into the train, you have to go through the immigration again. =D

About 1pm something, we arrived to Hong Kong. Yeah... My first time to Hong Kong... =D
The first thing we did after the train was, to have our lunch. In the restaurant there, the only thing that I would say is, "Walao... So many people..." =.=ll
Well, it's true... There's a lot of people... >.>

After lunch, we went to another side of Hong Kong by a ferry. Before we went into the ferry station, we saw a clock tower. But I don't know what is the name of the tower, since our new Hong Kong tour guard is poor... =.=ll

The clock tower

When I was in the ferry, I took some photos here... =D
Look at the photo below... Have you see the building that Jacky Chan jump off from in a movie? XD

The building at the middle of the photo
(short one with special ~~body~~ shape) =D

Another view from the ferry

After the ferry, we went to a place that is memorable for Hong Kong people. I forget what is the name of the place already. But it is located in front of the building in the second above photo where Jacky Chan jump off from.

According to our tour guard, he said that this is the flower that represent Hong Kong. This golden flower was given by the China if I'm not wrong... I can't remember the full story already. Sorry about that. =D

The Golden Flower
(Forget what flower is that)

After that, we went to "Tai Ping Shan" (太平山). We took around 20 minutes there and went to the next destination. Next, the Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong, which is somewhere near the "Tai Ping Shan". Wow... you're able to see a lot of stars there... =D

Here they are...

Kelly Chen

Andy Lau

Aaron Kwok

Tiger Woods

Starting from here, I don't know their name... Sorry about that...

This is where the Madame Tussauds located. =D

The building where the Madema Tussauds located

After that, we walked to a little bit higher place nearby and look at the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong... =D

The scenery of Hong Kong

Next, we went to have our dinner again since it's already 5pm something. After dinner, we went to somewhere else to shopping. At 7.30pm, we went to Avenue of Stars (星光大道). In the Avenue of Stars, you're able to see the fingerprint of the stars.

Night view from Avenue of Stars

At 8pm something, there was a show that the lights of the buildings will dance with the music played.

Here is the light of the buildings danced

Hmm... Actually, the show plays every night. It's quite cool... But our Hong Kong tour guard said it's normal... =.=ll

After that, we went to our hotel in Jordan, called West Hotel. This hotel is nice, and good in services. The people working at the counter of the lobby is kind, and talk politely. I like this hotel very much... =D

Since the night is still young, and the shopping malls and streets are all open until 11.30pm, we went to street shopping after check in.

My sister's friend, who live in Hong Kong brought us to street shopping. At first in the lobby of the hotel, we asked whether to use the underground or walk. My sister's friend said we go there by walk since it's very near. So, we walked to street shopping.

Guess what? We walked about 20 minutes totally, with the highest speed, and passed a few streets... Lol... It's far, not near at all... =.=ll
It's tiring to walk that far...

Anyway, I walked to Ladies Market. There's a lot of things that you can buy there. But you have to ask for discount unpolitely. Or else, you will be "killed" by them... XD

The Ladies Market

The street

Actually, there's another street called Male Street, where Hong Kong people call it "Male Kai". We didn't go to Male Street due to the limited time. But according to our tour guard, he said that most of the stall in Male Street selling food, and Ladies Markets is in the opposite way, where most of the stalls are selling stuffs like clothes, bags, shoes, and etc.

Ok, after street shopping, we went to have our supper. Next, we went back to our hotel at 11pm something and slept at 1pm something.

So, that's it for the fourth day...
To be continue on the fifth day.

The third day, 26th August, 2008, Monday.
Well, the third day did not have much place to go to. Therefore, we wake up later than the previous days. Around 9pm, all of us meet at the lobby of the hotel, and have our breakfast together.

What was our breakfast?
It was 2 donuts, and 2 hot dogs... =D

Our breakfast for the third day

It was only a normal breakfast, and the hot dogs were salty. =.=ll
Anyway, my brother and cousin bought a few sets of Mc. Donald breakfast while waiting for our tour guard to our hotel. My brother said that it's cheap. But I have no idea how much was it.

After breakfast, we went to "Lotus Flower Mountain Park" (direct translation) or "Lian Hua Shan Gong Yuan" (莲花山公园). I don't remember whether the name of the mountain is correct or not. But I think it's correct... =.=ll

"Lian Hua Shan" Park (莲花山公园)
(Lotus Flower Mountain Park)

We didn't climb up to the mountain since the time was limited. Therefore, we continue our journet to Window Of The World. When we were on our way to the bus, I saw a police bike nearby. XD

Lol... Sounds like never see a police bike before... =.=ll

The police bike in Shen Zhen (深圳)

Next destination, Window of the World (世界之窗). Of course, we had our lunch before we go into Window of the World.

Window of the World
(世界之窗)

One of the view at the entrance

Within this place, almost every scenery or place that is popular around the world is minimize. Therefore, you're able to see a lot of beautiful buildings inside. =D

The very first thing that we did inside was, watch the 4D movie. Hmmm... I would say the 4D movie in Genting is much more interesting and fun. =D

It's me, sitting in the movie theater and self photo shooting... =.=ll

Ok, after that, our tour guard suggested that using the tour train would be able see 70% of the place in the Window of the World, and save our time as well. Therefore, each of us paid RMB20 again for the train to bring us all around the Window of the World.

Pyramid of Egypt
(The pyramid is behind there)

Kenya's "Wild Zoo"

Eiffel Tower

Ok, starting from here, I can't remember the name of the buildings. And, I'm lazy to search for the name in the internet.

I remember that this stone is always appear in Diablo. It's called the Stonehenge if I'm not wrong.

Stonehenge

After traveling all around the place, we climb up to the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the scenery up there... =D

One of the scenery up there

The garden is cool... =D

Wow... High building up there...

Another view of high building

After that, it was around 5pm something already. Therefore, we went for ice-skating and ice sculptures, while waiting for a night show at 7.30pm... =D
Sorry, I didn't take any photo with my phone camera in ice sculpture place. So, no photo about that again... XD

Ice-skating
(Only RMB20 each person)

After the show, it's night time already. So I took this before we go back to the bus... =D

Window of the World
(Near the entrance there)

After dinner, what else? We went back to our hotel and continue street shopping... =D
Again, we shop until 11am something, back to hotel at 12am something and sleep at 1am something.

Ok, that's the end of the third day.
To be continue on the fourth day. =D

2008-09-03T12:47:00.011+08:00

The second day, 24th August, 2008, Sunday.
We wake up at 7am. Around 7.45am, all of us meet at the lobby of the hotel, and had our breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel. Half hour later, we started our first visit to "Shi Jing Shan" (石景山).

At "Shi Jing Shan", cable car is needed to go up of the mountain. Guess what kind of cable car it is? It's something like this... =D

The Cable Cars

It's fun, but horrible. It has 2 person seats, and no door. Interestingly, your leg is hanging up there... XD
The cable car takes few minutes to the upper of the mountain. On the way to the upper mountain there, I took some photos around me. Lol... (sounds so wrong)

One of the view from the cable car

Of course, something interesting. The photo below is the road of the "Roller Coaster"... XD

The road of the "Roller Coaster"

After the cable car, everyone started to take out their camera and shoot. Shoot what? Of course, the scenery. The view from the upper part of the mountain is beautiful. And here, I took some photos from there. =D

The view from the upper part of the mountain

Another view from the upper part of the mountain

After photo shooting, nothing much you can do there. Therefore, we choose to leave the mountain. There are 2 ways to go down the mountain. You can either choose the cable car, or the "Roller Coaster". Guess what I choose? I tried the "Roller Coaster"... XD
Anyway, it's not the actual "Roller Coaster". In Chinese, it is called "Chong Feng Che" (冲锋车). Well, it was fun actually... Try that if you're given the chance to do so... =D

Next destination, the symbol of Zhu Hai (珠海) city, called "珠海渔女". (direct translation will be Zhu Hai Mermaid. Lol... Sounds so wrong) =.=ll

The symbol of Zhu Hai, "Zhu Hai Yu Nv"
(Yu Nv = Mermaid)

The closer view of Zhu Hai's symbol

After that, we went up to "Qing Ren Lu" (情人路). It's a road that is very popular in Zhu Hai. Next, "Yun Jin Bu Yi" (云锦布依) in Zhong Shan (中山). It's a place where you can buy tea, and know their original culture of "Bu Yi Zu" (布依族). Anyway, I didn't take any photo there because everything seems normal... Lol...

After that, we went to have our lunch. No photo was taken there since everyone is sharing the same table. I feel so "pai seh" to take the photo also... Lol...
And here, our tour guard gave us each person one "BoLuo" (菠萝). It's sweet and yummy... =D

Bo Luo (菠萝)

After lunch, we continue our journey to Shen Zhen (深圳). Next destination will be "Xiao Ren Guo" (小人国).

The entrance

Inside there, you are able to see a lot of things. It's huge, and impossible to walk all around the place. Therefore, my tour guard suggested to use the tour train, which is cost RMB20 each person. Below here are the photos that I took in the train. Lol...

On the way to visit around... =D

The Great Wall
(万里长城)

Ok, I don't know what are their name, because it's impossible for me to remember all of them. Lol... And, not much photo I can post up here. Most of the photos are blur since the train was moving.

After traveling around, we were told that there has a live show. Therefore, we watch that show as well.

A show that is playing around with the horse
(Lol... Sounds so wrong)

After that, we went to watch another show again, that is about their culture and costume. Wow... Their costumes are beautiful. Too bad that no camera is allowed inside.

Next, we went to have our dinner first. After dinner, we came back again and continue another show again. Haha... This show was wonderful. Since it's night already, my phone camera couldn't take a better photo at night. Therefore, no photo again... =.=ll

And here, their special festival, called "Bo Shui" Festival (波水节). If you join the event, you are able to play around with water. Lol...

"Bo Shui" Festival
(波水节)

Ok, after that show, we headed to our hotel called Li Garden Hotel. Lol... It's the same name with the restaurant in Hock Lee there... =.=ll

Anyway, the hotel is good, a better place compare to the hotel at the first night. =.=ll
After check in, it's about 10pm something already. Since that day was Sunday, most of the shop in Shen Zhen will open until 12am. Therefore, we went to street shopping. Sorry, I couldn't remember what is the name of the street already.

Well, we saw a Mc. Donald there. My brother bought a "pig" burger. He said it's yummy, but I didn't try it because I feel full that time. We walk and shop around there until 12am something. After that, we went back to hotel and take our shower. At the end, we slept at 2am something. Lol...

Ok, that's all for the second day of the trip.
To be continue on the third day tomorrow. =D

Ok, this will be a long post. Well, as mentioned in the previous post, I went to China for traveling from 23rd to 30th of August. I followed a tour group, which is only 15 people, including our tour guard from Kuching.

Yup, this is consider as a small group. Luckily, no old people and kids in our group. All of us are active and young. =D

The first day, 23rd of August, Saturday.
Hmmm... we did not have any activity for the first day. Our flight from Kuching to Macau takes 4 hours, and we arrived to Macau at 7pm something.

Going to Gate 9 in KIA

After come out from the airport, we went to "Zhu Hai" (珠海) directly by bus.

On the way to Zhu Hai from Macau, we need to go through the immigration. The only thing that I'm not happy with is, the workers who check your passport in the immigration. The workers show a bad face, looks like I owe them money. Also, they throw your passport to you, not give it to you. Dam it!!!

Never mind, it passes already. Lol...
After go through the immigration, we will have our first dinner in our trip. Too bad, I did not manage to get the photo of every food we had.

Next, we went to our first hotel in our trip, called Golden Phoenix Hotel. The hotel is still acceptable, but the bed and the air-con were horrible. >.>ll
How horrible is it? The bed was very hard, just like sleeping on the floor, and the air-con was not cold at all, although I had switch the air-con to the coldest. =.=

Anyway, I found out this. I looked out the window in our hotel room. Wow... It's the pedestrian bridge. It's cool, isn't it? =D

The view of pedestrian bridge from the hotel

After check in at 9pm something, we went out from the hotel and walk around nearby since it was still early. There is a saloon beside our hotel. Guess what? They were having renovation promotion, where you can wash you hair there with RMB8, which is only about RM4. Wow... isn't it cheap? XD
So, my sister went to wash her hair there.

After that, we went back to our hotel and sleep. Too bad, I did not sleep well the whole first night since the air-con and the bed were terrible. =.=ll

Ok, that's all for the first day of the trip. =D
To be continue...

2008-08-14T15:47:00.005+08:00

Hmmm... If you look carefully on the last photo, there is one more drink that I didn't upload the photo here. Guess what it is? Well, it's the white one behind there. According to the owner of the cafe, called Sharon, she said that the white drink will be launch soon, but I don't know when it is and the name as well. (I don't want to be a spoiler... XD)
I did try the drink this afternoon, and it's really taste good... =D

Ok, I think that's all for the update.

Blackout in Sarawak

2008-08-09T11:56:00.009+08:00

Well, this will be another boring post again... Haha...
I had my dinner around 6pm as usual today. After my dinner, I continue on my C&C 3 Kane's Wrath. When I almost defeat the computer at 6.40pm, Poopp!!! Oh my god, power failure... >.>"

Therefore, I unplug all the cables of my computer that is connected to the socket. Next, what to do? I walked out from my computer room and go outside to have a look. Lol... So I discovered that was not only my house having blackout.

This is the house that is in front of my house
You can see the light there, but that was a emergency light... =D

Nothing I can do without electricity. Suddenly, I remember that I have to ask my friend's father about my debit card. After the call, my friend told me that he is having blackout as well. So, I sms Sheng, and he replied that it is the same for his house. Therefore, I know that whole Kuching is having power failure, and so the whole Sarawak... >.>ll

As the sky was getting darker and darker, I sat down and chat with my parents. Of course, we have our emergency light. Nothing else we can do except waiting for the electricity. And I was looking at the candle... (Lol... Where got so emo? =.=ll)

Candle

At 9.15pm, electricity is back. Everyone was so happy... =D
Therefore, Destiny, Sheng, and I decided to go to Jalan Song "lim teh".
When we were chatting, something was wrong again. Blackout... Lol... It was 10.35pm.
A few minutes later, the waiters and waitress putting up the candles for every tables. Suddenly, a normal coffee shop had transformed into a romantic and high class cafe. =.=ll

Stalls have their own candle... =D

And here, I took a blur photo... =.=ll

The round yellow and orange thing are the fire light of the candles
(Tables around the coffee shop)

Too bad I only managed to get a blur photo. I didn't take another photo again because everyone was looking at me... very "pai seh" lol...

Luckily, when I was on my way to my home, the electricity is back, and everything becomes normal again. (at 11pm)

So, for a summary:
6.40pm : Blackout started
9.15pm : Everything becomes normal for me
10.35pm : Blackout started again
10.55pm : Everything becomes normal until now.

Ok, I think that's all. Anyway, have you enjoy yourself while in the blackout? XD
Thanks for reading... =D

2008-07-09T14:05:00.006+08:00

The common functions that you can find within the bot:

Auto HP
Auto MP
Auto loot
Large inventory (not recommended)
Add a hot key to select mobs

I don't recommend players to use the large inventory function because it is easy to get banned. Anyway, for more information about the CabalRider, please visit the site at http://cabalrider.com.

Night Wizard The Animation

2008-06-30T12:52:00.005+08:00

Ok, this will be a very short post. After my final exam, I decided to watch anime to kill my boredom. And, I found out this, Night Wizard! It has 13 episodes only, and not long-winded. Anyway, it's worth to watch it.

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

Here is a short summary of this anime from Wikipedia:

Night Wizard. A term given to those whose mission it is to protect the world from impending darkness. Renji Hiiragi is one such Night Wizard, who is constantly called on missions, even though all he wants is to be able to go to school and graduate. However, his latest order was to protect Elis Shiho, who is a new transfer student at his academy. Being dragged into the Astronomy Club by Renji's childhood friend, Kureha Akabane on her first day at school, Elis soon realizes that she too, has the power to become a night wizard, after retrieving the Jewel of Affection. Along with Renji and Kureha, Elis now begins her fight and her new life, as a Night Wizard, both to collect the six other Jewels and to protect the world from eternal darkness.
