howwwzattt... you sleepy head...

Ahhh... it has been almost a year since the last entry. Been running around trotting around the globe with my work, decided to start over again writing about the experiences of new places, new culture and people.

I'll be treating this blog as a photo journal here onward with places and countries that I've been to for the last one and a half year along with the trips to come.

My loyal traveling companion for the past one and a half year was broken along the way KUL-CDG-MEX. Air France replaced it with the same model and even the color too. The only missing were those nostalgic stickers from land afar...

And this was while in KUL before being molested all over by the cargo handlers of various ports.

Just touched down at Benito Juarez International, New Mexico after 29 hours flight including 6 hours layover in Paris. Time for smoko...

Yes, Toluca is 10 centigrade lower than New Mexico. Situated 60 km from the city with nearly 9000 ft elevation from sea level. Cold to my standard to say the least...

Just got back from Toluca in Mexico last month after spending 3 weeks there but unfortunately I didn't bring along my D7000 to documenting the adventure, only a few of snaps with my Iphone. Prior to that, many places too such as Cairo, Toulouse, Dubai and even Myanmar with many in between. Next will be Dresden, Germany this mid-September.

No, I'm not a rich person jet-trotting the world for holidays and fun but a man got to do what he has to do for a living...

howwwzattt... autumn in southern France, here I come...

Earlier this afternoon, I went to Sunway Pyramid to look for some autumn/winter clothing. First I stopped by at Universal Traveler but none of it suit my purpose, except for some colorful down jackets that looked kinda gay to me. For ladies, there were few nice design that looked kinda chick.

Left without buying anything and hopped into Uniqlo a few meters away, same things on display but better than Universal Traveler. Got myself a scarf and a pair of simple thermal gloves.

Still haven't got my jacket so I headed to Jusco Bukit Raja where last time I checked there were some cool jackets on display. I was wrong but not that disappointing as earlier at Sunway Pyramid.

A nice gray turtle neck sweater caught my eyes, tried it in the fitting room and there it goes into my cart. Next the jacket, I was kind of looking for a good and reliable down jacket, tried a few and ended up with a 4 in 1 down jacket. Dang, it cost a bomb, though I could claim for all of those things but it still burnt my pocket good. It was a 2 layers jacket with an inner reversible lightweight down jacket which suits me just fine I think.

Saw a nice beanie in black and gray, that too went to my shopping cart. Saw some gloves that you can use on your touchscreen smartphone even tried it on to see if it is really functioning, yes it did. But to my dismay, the designs and colors were either for ladies or girls or gays.

Well, that's all for my adventures and misadventures for today. Done packing my luggage and now the principal would like to leave the stage but the crowd won't understand... :)

Nite my Precious Poem...

howwwzatt... dedor kater oghang Peghak...

Early this morning I woke up with the feeling of "dedor" in me. For those from Perak especially the central part, it is a common word to describe a condition of one going to have a fever. A tell tale or a sign.

I slept early the night before but not before being deprived from sleep for about 36 hours the day before. I'm having it again and I succumbed myself to the effect of it.

My body's circadian rhythm had gone kaput.

howwwzattt... this guy never failed me...

Takkala fajar hampir menyingsing, di kala kehidupan kembali bersuara, ketika tetumbuhan hijau membuka matanya, di situ jugalah aku masih mengelamun menanti cahayamu...

Selamat pagi mentari... selamat pagi penghuni bintang...

howwwzattt... I still believe and proud of MAS...

Never had been to MAS Golden Lounge before eventhough half of my life spent with this wonderful company and all of my travels prior leaving the company were on MAS aircraft.

So, since some of my Enrich points are about to expire at the end of the month, I went online and redeemed the Golden Lounge voucher for my trip next weekend. It cost me a good 8000 miles point for a single entry to the international business lounge. Never redeemed any of it before.

Guess I'll be turning myself early for check-in and try to experience the MH (Malaysian Hospitality) first hand. It will be a long 13 hours flight first to London Heathrow and then another 2 hours connecting British Airways flight to Blagnac in Toulouse.

Hmmm... perhaps on one of my off days I will embark on the 3 hours drive to Barcelona...

Night moonbeam...
