south park's season 13!!

yes, as the title says it, south park season 13 is coming out in 1 day time.

FINALLY!! after 3 months oh no new south park episodes!

i think ive already watched every single south park episode ever made.

so anyway here is a preview of the new episode.

there are 2 places where you can watch south park.

1. mrtwig.net - a great place if you want to download the episodes.

2. south park studios - for the times when you are away from your personal computer and have nothing better to do. you can stream the episodes here. and its pretty quick too :D

well hope i get more people to watch south park this way :D

if you look carefully, you can actually see the prophet muhamad in it. you can also see jesus, satan, mecha-strisan, budha and all the other cool south park characters!!

looks like this christmas is going to be another boring one.... off to johor again this year. nuff said...

the big move

well im busy moving house now. the old house which i am currently in, is in a huge mess. everything is everywhere!!

whats worst is that there is only another 7 days more before we have to hand over this house to the land owner.

that means we have about 5 days to move!!! GAHH!! good thing im moving about 50 meters away :D

it just struck me.

christmas is just around the corner!

the day that i look forward to every year. not only because its my birthday, but because its just christmas. so hang on thight, christmas carrols and christmas trees will be heard and seen soon :D

hmm...

its been a while hasn't it?

well let me try to sum up everything that has been happening lately.

so just last night i had an all-nighter with a take home test. gahhh!! only got like 3 hours sleep and i cant believe that im still awake 12 hours later. anyway, semmester is ending :D only have 3 more papers to sit for before im free till february.

hmm lets see, what else... ohh!! ohh!!! i've suddenly got into the crazy of wanting a LOMO camera! all thanks to sister christobel which got me to do some reasearch on them.

so lets see, the camera which i want is the LOMO LC-A+

looks like a crap camera doesn't it? but its just so freaking cool!! dont know if i can afford one of these. searched online and the price for one is about 900 ringgit. crap... gonna go to wondermilk some time soon to check out the price for this camera and other LOMO cameras that they have.

so if you guys are thinking of what kinda present to get me for my birthday, a LOMO LC-A+ would be great. my birthday is on christmas btw, loads of time to save up cash :D

hmmm... lets see... oh yeah, my new abode is almost ready. will be moving in at the end of nov. shitty thing is that we have to move out of the current house by the 30th of nov. thats cause the new tenants are moving in on the 1st. well thats not that shitty part yet. shitty thing is that the house isnt even ready yet. and by the looks of it it will only be ready around the 20th or later of november. so that leaves us with very little time to move out.

so if anyone wants some free junk which my house seems to have plenty of, you can come help me with the move. there is sure to be something interesting for you to take home as my home is filled with things in the store room.

ok i think im bored now. bye!

the cut

guess what.... yours trully has finally got a hair cut after 3 freggin years!!

i chopped off so much hair that i think i feel dizzy now. blog about this when i feel better or have the time too.

assignment season

well it seems like this month is assignment season. 4 huge deadlines within the first 2 weeks of this month. lucky thing im going to perhentian to let loose some steam :D

freedom!

dont you just feel like leaving your current life to head to a paradise beach and just bum around without a care in the world?

well it would be great fun it that could happen. hmmm... when can i go for my next holiday...

its been a while

yes it definetly has. when was the last time i made a post? 1 month ago? heck its ages ago.

well things are getting bussier everyday. or maybe its just becuase i seem to find everything to do but sit in front of the computer to type out a blog entry. i mean there is so much to see outside of the computer screen!

recently i learn't how to snakeboard. what is a snake board you ask? well its simillar to a skate board, but the wheels can turn.

yes thats a snake board. how does it move? well it works like the same principle as how snakes moves. in a 'S' shape fashion. takes some time to master, but its fun. i now use this to go to work, instead of using a car. much more environmentaly friendly :D

besides the snakeboard, i also recently accuired something new.

yes, i got myself a freggin slackline!! yeah!! now i dont need to wait for every wed, fri, or sundays to slackline in camp5. i can do it in any park that has trees! so if you guys wanna try out this ever so cool sport, do let me know. ill come over and set it up if i have the time. for more information on how slacklining goes, go to youtube and search up slackline.

so anyway, enough of random pictures taken off the net. its time to post up some photos that ive developed.

these are a few photos which i have no idea if i have posted it up before, but anyway, its of a local band, seven collar t-shirt. taken in laundry.

ok, i think thats it for now. lets hope that my next post would be much much sooner.

2 articles

well im back from kuching. i had a really great time there. met alot of new people and ate all sorts of food!

anyway more on that in a later post.

i stumbled upon one of the articles in the star which had my photos in it. it was one of camp5's outdoor days and i took some pictures. click here to read it.

the article was writen by one of the members in the gym and the photos are taken by me.

next is another article that i found on the latest climbing gym in malaysia! well it isn't really a climbing gym, but more of a competition wall. it is called the challenge park, which is located in putra jaya. this climbing wall boasts the largest competition wall in the world, if im not mistaken. there will also be a mountain bike track and skate park. click here to read the article on routesetter.com.

haven't visited the gym yet, but i would love to check it out some time soon. when i do, i'll post the pictures of the place.

over and out.

Slack Line and Cats

as said in a post before, camp5 now has a slackline!

here are some pictures taken yesterday.


here is one of me.



this is one of kammy



and a last one of andrew



cool eh? it isn't as easy as it looks. actually takes loads of practice. the pros can even do summersaults and land right on the slackline. but sadly noone in camp5 has reached that level yet. its only been what? a week since it was first set up?

for those of you who are interested in trying out the slackline, camp5 sets them up around the end of the day if people want to do it. but they will soon set up a set time when they will set it up.

next up, is about cats. well more of kuching. i leave for kuching in another 6 hours time. and will only be back on the 15th of july.

i'll be going for the rainforest world music festival!!

besides the music festival, ill also be going to kuching to visit people and get intouch with my roots... lol! i like the sound of that. well its cuase i haven't been back in like what? 7 years? around that i think. so its about time i went back for a visit. for those of you who didnt know, i was born in kuching and lived there for about 6 years before i moved to KL.

anyway, im also hoping to do some climbing there. managed to get a contact from a friend of a climber in kuching. hope all goes well and i can go climbing.

gotta start packing now. till the next time i post! hopefully with more pictures and more photos.

p.s. my sister will be leaving for perth on the 20th of july. she will be the first bird leaving the nest. hope all goes well...

schools out!

finally im done with my exams. so all i have to look forward to is my holidays!

besides that holidays, my computer is long over due to be reformatted. something screwie with the software, and im to lazy to find out that, so im just going to reformat it.

as for the holidays, its about half a month of being in kl doing what ever (more climbing i hope). and after i'm off to kuching for half a month (hopefully i can do some climbing there), and lastly back in kl for another half a month before my next semester begins.

i hope its going to be an exciting holiday. well maybe not. firstly i need sleep desperately.

off i go to bed then.

this post is also my 100th post! whee!! celebrations and balloons and party streamers and stuff.

4 minus 2 equals 2

yeah!! 2 down and 2 more to go!

exams are almost over, and the holidays are creeping ever closer...

here is a picture of my new desktop wallpaper. took it in bukit melawati a few months back.

and the prices go up

now look, the petrol prices has just recently gone up by 78 freggin cents!!!

what does that mean?

well it means that we now pay a whooping two ringgit and seventy cents for one freggin litre of pertol. thats about a forty percent increase in price of petrol.

what has the world come to.

now i have to think twice before i even think of driving anywhere.

damn government....

i miss the old prices of one ringgit and ninety two cents per liter.

lightning!

last week end i was at PD. stayed at this resort called avillion.or something like that. cant really remember the exact spelling.



anyway, the hotel and all was a really nice place. they had challets over the sea and the place was just spectacular. my whole family was there including uncles, aunties, cousins and some friends to celebrate my sisters 21st birthday!



so my family got the vila, and it was absolutly cooL!! it had 2 balconies, 2 bed rooms, 2 toilets and one of it had an open air shower, 2 beds that werealmost boxed in by windows and some other stuff which i cant remember. it was absolutly cool!


anyway enough about the hotel, on the last night, i decided to take some photos of star trails, but sadly my cameras settings didnt allow me to. for those of you who are fimiliar with camera stuff you can read on, those of you who arent, can skip to the next paragraph. so my camera's bulb mode only allowed me to go for a maximum of 8 minutes of exposure. and i needed at least 30 minutes of exposure in order to get some nice light trails. so this was the closest i managed to get.






so it might not look so obvious, but you can actually see the stars in the picture above. damn lightning got in the way too.

then i next got this picture. then only i realized that tehre was a storm coming up, and decided to shift my attention to the storm. the storm was starting brewing out at sea. probably about 5-10 kilometers offshore. i got some really nice pictures. here goes.

i personally like the second lightning one the most. taking these photos wasnt easy. it was extreamly dark, so the only time i could see what i was taking was when the lightning struck. therefore it took a while for me to adjust the focus. i used the bulb mode again, and just waited for some nice lightning shots to strike then i stoped the exposure. so good thing it was really dark, if not i would have to keep shooting hoping i get lucking catching a lightning.

ok i think thats it.

i might be back

well today i had my first long climbing session since i started to slack off in december.

finally i managed to bring myself to keep climbing. managed a 5 hour day today. i even managed to finish 2 of my project routes. well only one actually, i didn't clean the other one.

anyway, it feel really god to be climbing again. at first i started the day with just taking some climbing photos (like what i normally do), but because i didn't have the bosun's chair, it got really uncomfortable sitting in the rope. so i decided to stop taking pictures and started climbing.

so right now, the joints on my middle finger hurts, cause i've had such a hard days climb.

it really amazes me that im still able to climb. even tho i never climb consistently anymore, which is like hardly once in two weeks, i am still able to pick up from where i left off a few months ago when i was still hardcore climbing. only thing now is that i dont seem to have the super stamina anymore. looks like its time to train up :D


so anyway time to talk about something else.

hmmm... lets see...

ah yes! my brother inigo found this huge stack of DVDs outside someones house the other day. they were all original and it was a mixture of moveis and other shows like lost. coolest thing is that there was the whole trilogy of the lord of the rings!! not only that, its the extended version!! looks like i'm going to be spending alot of time watching is.

besides all that,i'm now currently blogging from the comfort of my bed. how? well my sister got a lap top the recent PC fair, and i'm using it. its such a nice thing to have, your own lap top comuter which you can take anywhere.

ok i guess thats all for this edition of a mixture of white chalk and hidden laughters. i'm off to watch somelord of the rings :D

hopefully i'll post some pictures soon. maybe from sunburst or maybe the left overs from phuket.

cant think of anything

i was going to make some sort of emo blog just now, but suddenly i got distracted by loocking for a new template for this blog. sadly i didn't find one, and also you guys won't get to hear my rant about some emo stuff.

anyways, looks like my busy period is just almost over. tomorrow will be the last day of the deadlines. then after that, it will just be the final exams that will be in the way.

ever thought about how pointless life seems to get sometimes?

well its starting to become quite pointless right now. why can't life be filled with thrill and excitement like those you see in the movies. i mean i do my best to make things as exciting and thrilling as i can, but sometimes it just takes too much effort.

oh the wonderous thing we call a life....

some pictures from sunburst

ok, yet again its been a while. i think its about time i made a post.



here is just a short summary of whats been happening this part week.



lately ive been extreamly busy with school work. YES! for the very first time in noel's short life he is bummed out with school work. well i bet the amount of work i have isn't really that much, but in my terms it is quite alot. worst of all, all these work actually carries a percentage of marks which contribute to my finals. crazy shit rite?



anyway, i'm about half way done with my deadlines. still have another 2 more presentations to finish up. besides that, its all boring.



anyway, as the title says, here are some photos of incubus at sunburst. requested by marxha

ok it might look alittle gay posting up pictures of half naked guys, but marxha wanted it. she is a brandon boyd fan.

so to compensate for the excess of guys, here is one of fiqa shot at the finals of malaysian dream girl.

and another from one of my street shoots in KL.

a climbers story?

i was looking through my blog today, and know what i realized.

there is hardly anything about climbing in my blog nowadays. gone were the days when all i would talk about was climbing. gone were the days when climbing was my number 1 passion!

now it seems that my main passion is photography, followed next by climbing. this sucks... know why?

it's cause i would have to think of another slogan for my blog. which would take me a long time. a really long time to think up.

haha, i think i'll just stick with the old one. i kinda like the name "a mixture of white chalk and hidden laughters, a climbers story with a little bit of life in between". but not it seems more like a lifers story with a little bit of climbing in between. hahaha! if there is even such a thing as lifer.

but i think i would have to change the picture in the heading. its starting to get a little old...

so yeah, i know i'm supposed to post up the sean kingston pics. but looks like i ain't going to today. didn't really think i was going to make a post today either.

last night, i had the longest reading session EVER!!$@#!

i was reading the novel "the journeyer" at 1230 in the morning last night, and only maneged to put it down 5 freaking hours later!! i mean i seriously couldn't put the book down. i did try to put the book down at around 3am, but after a few minutes of staring into the blankness of the dark, not able to sleep, i decided i should continue reading.

knowing me, i love to take my time reading my novels. can you guess how long i've been reading this novel?


5 FREAKING MONTHS!!

and its still not finished yet. i'm currently on page 724.

ok la, one of the reasons why it takes me so long to finish the book is because i only read it before i go to bed. its like my bedtime story. i love the fact that the writer describes everything in full detail, therefore i am able to jump right into the story.

don't you guys just love a good story?

woah!

mann... its been a while since i last posted.

why?

well its because i've been super uber busy with work and exams this past week.

just imagine, i had exams through the week, and inbetween those exams, i had to rush to work to run some courses. as for the weekend, it was 2 courses on 2 days which had no less than 22 ppl. was kida crazy la. but good practice for me.

oh! before i forget, i went to see sean kingston at zouk this friday. just incase you are wondering, no i didn't pay to enter. PFFT! i mean its freaking sean kingston. who in the right mind would pay for it? so yeah, here is the story.

after work on friday, i rushed over to KL convension centre for the PF fair, wanted to check out the new zuiko digital 25mm f2.8 pancake lens. it was cool. real small. anyway, ted called me up and said that sean kingston was in zouk. so since i was in the area, i waled over from KL convension centre to zouk. on the way to zouk, i found this small pocket of skaters. not that i'm interested in skating, but i was thinking that some time i would stop by and take some pics. so anyway off i went to sean kingston.

well anyway, got into zouk's main hall, and the place was quite packed. not extreamly packed, but just packed. so me and ted met up and decided to find a place to shoot. it was super crowded, so finding a spot wasn't easy. but luckly the management allowed us to barge our way towards the front of the stage. so me and ted faught our way through loads of screaming fans and finally managed to get a spot in front.

so we waited and waited and waited. and finally, this big fatty came out!!!

hahaha!! i'll post the pictures of sean kingston when i have time. probably in the next post.

untill then!
