Travel
One day visit to London
Can you guys help me to decide where should I go in one day time?
Strasbourg
Strasbourg is another must-go-destination in Alsace region (North-Eastern France). Whoever comes to visit me, I will bring them to Colmar then follow by Strasbourg. They might think I’m a expert or a native of Alsace, because I don’t need a map to navigate around these 2 area, I can story-telling about the history and events in Alsace so good so well that they didn’t even know I was actually bull shiting them…. pls let me continue bull shitting you in this post =)
Strasbourg is the capital of Alsace Region, it is hosting a few European institutions such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union…
See, all the important European thinggy is situated in Strasbourg, if one bomb dropped into Strasbourg, the entire European institutions will be vanished! Great fun..
Now, I brought some of my friends to Strasbourg by train. Most of them, when they came out from the station, they will have a WoW expression.
Low Kei and Kalen at Strasbourg train station
The train station itself is very old, they built a sky dome for the train station to protect the premises. The architect reminds you about China Beijing Olympic bird nest Stadium 
Low Kei took a picture of me, I like the clear blue sky and the sky dome of the train station 一望无际，海阔天空。。。
Justin visited me during winter, the experience was totally different
The train station look like the Beijing Bird’s nest stadium is deposited with full of Bird Droppings =)
Strasbourg is not really a big town, it is very convenient to walk around, just like Colmar. The very first thing we arrived Strasbourg is to find the famous Strasbourg’s cathedral.
Well, it is very difficult to describe what I felt about the cathedral.
This cathedral is huge, bigger than Notre dame of Paris.
Look at the beautiful design, it is so majestic and beautiful…
I stood in front of the building, closed my eyes, in my mind I think
。。。Thank god, I was not born during 1176 and 1439, imagine what will happen to this Cathedral if I was born in Strasbourg during 1176 – 1439 and was assigned to design and build the cathedral? (few example of my art at and.) I would have destroyed the whole masterpiece and no one will come and visit Strasbourg after 1000 years
Catheral of Our Lady in Strasbourg. used to be the tallest building in Europe between 1647 to 1874. It was so gigantic, I can just buy one ice cream near by and admire it from morning till afternoon, then buy one kebab sit down and look at it from noon till evening, from evening take a beer till midnight
Nice sunsent in Strabourg
Justin admires Strasbourg cathedral also
The color of the facade seems different, I loved it so much until I even..
licked at it and feel what it taste like, the conclusion is: Cathedral Our Lady of Strasbourg taste like 900 years old.
Old buildings in Alsace region are special
Strasbourg used to be an important town to produce wine
For those who wants to take a tour ride to visit the entire Strasbourg, I would suggest you to take a boat ride at River ILL
It will bring you around, around and around until you feel dizzy…
The ride story telling (not bull shitting ok!) everything nearby the river and Strasbourg. See the above picture, Low Kei was listing so intensely
The boat will pass by the European institutes..
The ride was long, we decided to cam whore
one is not enough, so we did another one…
We passed by Barrage Vauben..
.
stumbled upon a gigantic dog
you have to be careful, the dog bite everything that moves
Nearby there’s a Mega Virgin Store, I used to write a lot about Virgin
We walk around River ILL,
the river bed, 100 years ago, Many prostitutes tried to attract their client here. The house wives liked to wash clothes here.
I was exhibiting “the French” way to my friends
after all the wonderful experience, we went back to
.
.

Colmar and Bukit Tinggi
Some years ago, some business man from Malaysia went to France. He visited a small town called Colmar in Alsace. He duplicated Colmar and created Bukit Tinggi in Pahang.
I never been to Bukit Tinggi but I heard it is a very nice place to be visited. However, I’d visited Colmar city 4 times (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring) since last year. Colmar remains as one of my favorite and the most sought after place to visit in France.
Colmar’s attraction are concentrated in its old town, stunningly beautiful and well preserved. What I like this place most is the relax ambient in Colmar, it is small a very small town hence you don’t need to rush from one place to another. Although Colmar is small, it has loads of interesting stuff.
Low Kei + Karen visited Colmar in the beginning of Spring.
There’s some shopping in old town Colmar, so tempting……………
One of the main attraction is Maison des Tetes (House of Heads)
Why do they name it house of heads? because the house has many heads
Where did the head come from? If you look at the opposite side, it explains everything
Nice houses.
ice cream too…
eat eat eat…
Nice Colmar beer
and famous Colmar pork knuckle.. yum yum
nice to shop… with low kei and Kalen..
and we came to Petite Venice, very very nice place
From here on, it turned into winter… and Justin came by
at night at little Vanice
Justin teleported
me too..
.

but failed

Adopting Volcano victims is a fun thing =)
On 14 April 2010, Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajökull (pronounce as “AY-uh-fyat-luh-YOE-kuutl-uh”) erupted. It was mad and deadly, it impacted the entire Europe. The volcanic ash cloud led to the closure of most European airspace.
For me it was entertaining, because it is one of the unusual event that caught my attention haha =) … not until I received a sms from my friend low kei..
Low kei sms..
I’m now in Amsterdam, the Iceland volcano ash cloud has caused all the plane grounded, Kalen supposed to take off tonight but the flight was canceled. We plan to make a trip to your place. update you later…
This is not cool man, my first instinct prompted me go to Google and search for…
yes Volcano victims… and I found a lot of tragic photos like
.
.
I cried loudly like a baby at that instant moment 
. My French boss helplessly asked me what’d happened?
I told him Eyjafjallajökull volcano will turn Low Kei and Kalen into you-cha-guai 油炸鬼 and Ham-Jim-Bang 咸煎饼..
turn them to…..
Obviously the French don’t know what is You-Cha-Guai 油 炸鬼 and Ham-Jim-Bang 咸煎饼.
My worried now is not how Low Kei and Kalen will turn into You-Cha-Guai 油 炸鬼 and Ham-Jim-Bang 咸煎饼, instead I was struggling to clean my room to welcome the volcanic victims. Because I need to hide…
and
Anyway Low Kei took train and reached Belfort safely…
.
The first thing Low Kei did in my room was to look for…
er… I think he was not looking for things in my room… I think he was cleaning it…
hmmm…. maybe we is not looking and cleaning, he is cooling…
Thanks to him, we cook for me for the last 10 days..
We took the opportunity to celebrate Kalen’s birthday with champagne =)
。
。
Low Kei took a picture of my handsome toy
.
Picture below summarizes all the activities in my room.
making distorting noises, hanging wet-clothing (only Asians will do that), messy stuffs, TV, walking around the room, everyone sardin together.
.
At night, I have to listen to…. low kei
please click below to listen to what I heard at night
zzzzZZZzzZZzzZZz Low kei snores

Swan experience
A swan is an enchanted bird, it plays its part exceptionally well in portraying elegant and beautiful in fairy tales and legend.
It comes to you slowly, calm, pleasant and attractive… then it glides away slowly with charm…..
It is like a messenger sent by nature to tell you how beautiful is everything around us serenely.
Seeing them moving around you makes you feel everything around you is still..
.
Everyone has different Swan experience, I stumbled upon various interesting swan thingy in internet and I feel that I need to signify my swan experience here!
.
Musical Swan:
The old 007 agent Roger Moore as narrator and Mischa Maisky cellist collaborate together in
Carnival of the animal – The Swan Saint-Saens
also,
Yo-yo-Ma likes to close his eyes and squeeze out his Swan juice out from his brain
Jay Chow tried it in vain =P
.
.
.
Pipi‘s encounter in Interlaken 2009 (Switzerland):
and more……… make her dizzy and crazy
.
.
Pipi visit swan in Belfort during winter 2010:
We walked to the lake early morning
Cold fresh air and serene sun rise…
she was trying something naughty..
the swans came by..
Pipi wanted to make friends with them
.
but the swan cannot break the ice with pipi, as it was too much icy and snow between them..
Swan get angry and do this.. and pipi LOL
.
.
What did Justin and FireMice did in Strassbourg with Swan?
We made SNOWBALL for them!!!
2 snowball for these 2 swans
3 snowballs for 3 swans
.
and we gave it to them……… EAT IT!!!
until they were afraid of Justin
.
Justin recorded the evidence… nothing is pleasant between swan and us and nothing musical about it.
.
.

Somebody Ascended to Alps
I recalled last year this time, I encountered something dramatic, I lost most of my precious stuff in Switzerland , Pipi came and save me and we set foot on Titlis 
!
.
I remembered vividly I put my ALPS experience with Low Kei (one of the important beings in chronicle of FireMice)into history 
. The intention was to provoke Low Kei
.
.
But Today! he retorted my perceptions and rewrote his history, he ascended to Titlis!
I think I need to salute him for making this bold decision to fork out a huge amount of his self earn money, take his the other part and travel half a globe.
PS: Low Kei is dubbed current SEL most effective, the most sexiest
(like Austin), flamboyant Entrepreneur / boss. GIRLS want to be with HIM and GUYS want to be HIM!!
A big wake-up call to many guys out there to mind with our own business and enjoy our very own sweet time.
Now he is traveling in all sort of directions crazily in Europe. All the best to him and Karen!
.
.
He is seriously crazy and crazily Serious……… (like me)
Perhentian 2009
Suddenly dug out my old favorite camera FUJIFILM S5000
and found out the nostalgic pictures I took together with a few of my close-retards, I was supposed to pass these photos to them but I totally forgotten about it. A very nice Perhentian 2009 =)
It brought back a lot of fun memory to me and I recalled everything back then.
August or September 2009
A band of retards arrived and rallied at Stesen Bas Kuala Besut
Low Kei brought something else….. he introduced a little bit of feminine anarchy to the retards
It was the 1st time Low Kei introduced her to SEL. It was the central attraction of the entire occasion.
Many retards were surprised by the introduction-of-the-feminine-anarchy, as most of us still single and highly available. A lot of HoooHah around…
Anyway, We cruised together to Perhentian Island
We were so excited…
until one of the retard’s butt was laughing + exposed while we cruise to perhentian, you can see the dimples around the butt. It was indeed laughing.
We arrived!!!
.
Enjoyed snorkeling..
.
SOKY hair went up, a sign indicated he was enjoying
As usual, I always pair with Yee Chong in doing things…
and he always like to erect something big + tall + huge
.
.
we left Perhentian
.
went back to Kuala Besut
and we went separate ways back…. to Johor, Penang, KL, Klang……
so when is our next pulau trip?
Pac-Man in ROME with Smart Car
Happy New Year to all readers! I first played Pac-Man when I was still in Kinder Garden. I remember I used to play it in a Floppy Disc and the computer which supported the game was the predecessor even before 386, first Intel Pentium 1. Anyway, It was my 1st experience that allowed me to explore my gaming leisure in digital computer. I experienced Pac-Man in another level of fun during my New Year Holidays.
What was it?
ROME
2 nights before the end of 2009, me and Princess Pipi were traveling in one of the most celebrated street in Rome called Spagna.
The city was decorated with Christmas stuffs and people were preparing to welcome 2010.
We bumped into a Mercedes
show room and saw this sparkling smart car
As we were going to take the picture together with the smart car, a sales guy came to us and say
Do you want to play Pac Man and win a SMART CAR?
Winning a SMART CAR is really tempting!
But I am not a go-go guy, and initiative enough in participate in all these competition. although I used to participate in some stupid game with Yee Chong before:
But Pipi was so excited.
Pac Man in SMART CAR? Strange….
Generally, this game has to be played by 2 people as a team to compete with other teams from Rome.
One participant has to drive a smart car in Rome street to get 20,000 points at least to get a smart car
while the other participants need to direct the driver in the Mercedes show room by contacting the driver via handphone and a GPS screen to search for the smart car location
Our team was named… FIREMICE ,
the Italian pronounced it as “FI-RA-MA-CHI”
GPS screen that locates FireMice in the screen
Pipi was the navigator, she played an important role to direct the smart car, to get as much point as possible, most important of all she had to talk to me in the phone (very very difficult)..
FireMice was the retarded-SMART car driver..
.
So we started! Pipi was shouting non stop
Go GO go! why you not moving yet!!!!
I was like… ok ok ok
It is not easy to drive in Rome since I am a Malaysian (the other participants from Rome), and I have no-sense-of-direction… the driver seat was located at the left side of the car… all the direction was against what I used to drive with… and I AM RACING IN A COMPETITION!
Pipi:
WOI!!!! Turn right ok!! TURN– TURN !
FireMice:
CANNOT TURN RIGHT OK!!
Drove to a few interesting place that promoted Smart Car to get extra points =)
Pipi:
Drive Faster!
Pipi:
Faster…. We are near to 20,000 points already
At last, we got back more than 30,000 points
.
.
our rank was 2nd among 8 people….
We are proud because we beat most of the others Romans!
but we were disappointed to find out we can only get a mini Smart car
.
.
Little did we find out… Smart car actually was promoting their electric car… a Energy Friendly car
..
We got a mini smart CAR!
Belfort snow
2 days ago, when I woke up and saw this outside my window.
It is actually scary as I don’t know how to go out.
-11C was the temperature.
It was like somebody painted the entire town into white during the night. Everywhere is.. white
My office is just opposite of my room.
I decided to go out for fresh air..
go through the park..
Cathedral..
cars…
I decided to go on-top-of-Belfort… to have a great view…
So i decided to climb the castle
I managed to make a tough climb… it was too windy and dangerous… I’m the only person there
but it was worth to see all the tiny things around Belfort
Poor lion of Belfort, your sculptor didn’t sculpt you winter clothings
went to the river after that
the bush…
FireMice made a dangerous attempt
I decided to go to the lake near my apartment. This lake is very beautiful during the summer.
I took this previous summer
look how big was the moon during that time.
and now,
I noticed some dog’s foot prints on top of the lake..
and I have a crazy idea
.
I decided to
.
.
walk across the lake… dangerous attempt indeed, no one was there… i think it was worth to give myself a try… and stand in the middle of the lake.
after that, I noticed something..
some ducks were playing around the lake… I just realized, the lake was not frozen entirely, lucky me 
Everything ends well with a nice sun set view..
