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 Art #1 and Art #2 .) 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

.

.

.

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

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

Few days ago me and my friend stumbled upon a Chinese music orchestra video clips. Which is 龙腾虎跃 (in English: Flying Dragons and Jumping Tigers), a famous Chinese percussion orchestra music. It was conducted by maestro Yan Hui-Chang  阎惠昌 and soloed by Chinese percussion master Yim Hok-Man 阎学敏.

Please enjoy the video below:

.

He then reminded me that I used to perform the same music shown above also… then I started to share with him what I did 9 years ago. Wow! 9 freaking years ago…

.

Then I realized it was happened at 5th May 2001, exactly 9 years ago!

Video below was shared by my friend Papaya 3 years ago! I never finished watching this video before because I felt irritated. But when my friend reminded me about this event a few days ago, it poured out all my secondary school memories.

(this video was taken  5th May 2001 , at Petaling Jaya Civic Center)
.

I didn’t watch the entire video, but I listen! it makes me think………hmm….

compare the current me and the baby FireMice 9 years ago in the vid. I think the baby FireMice 9 years ago was  very serious (not-so-retarded) compared to the current FireMice. I used to work closely with my friends and lovely teachers to lead the team to perform in various competitions and concerts…

Still remember vividly my couch / teacher that guided me to conduct the orchestra and music.

I would like to name him master Wong (黄鸿昌) the wolverine

I graduated after since and do alot of stupid stuff… which makes me not so serious and turn retarded…

I did return to the orchestra from time-to-time.. but I do this…..

.

I moved on my studies in UTM… I met some people that play music, but in a different way that further distorted my mind…

(Picture taken in UTM, pls read here for the full story)

5th May is also the birthday for Pancaragam Music Oriental of Catholic High School, in short it is called PMO.




Happy Birthday to PMO!!! I hope the young blood will continue the glory!!!

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.

.

.
.

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)

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?

I’m not a big fan of books. If I really read, that pile of papers really mean something.

Many people like to comment about the book they read. My favorite  example for these people are Daniel & Clarence. These are the samples of civilized and intellectual beings, which attracted me to stumble upon whenever I feel like I need some certain degree of inspiration and energy.

People say, what you read in the past made your mind today…

What had I been reading?

I remembered when I was 4 years old, my mum bought a series of sesame street books.

I still remember how Sesame Street conveys their teaching of the day.

Today’s letter A, B, C…. 1 , 2, 3 brought to you by Sesame Street…

Easy and fun, the subjects was instilled into my brain since then.

What else other than Sesame Street?

.

.

The long hours of  lecturing during my University days had changed My reading habits dramatically.

I guess it was too much of pretending in front of lecturers that resulted my bad reading habits.

.

.

During my younger days, I did give extra-curriculums to my mind. To explore, to be inspired, to be educated..

(I always prevent myself from bad reading habits when the reading material is inspiring)

Clarence Chua has always been helpful in providing insteresting subjects to me.

FHM magazine guru

Above all,

Books strengthen the bond among friends. We used to share books before sleep. So that the information will cheerish our dreams and bring new hope to the next day.

Now let me share with you about what actually happened during my bedtime….. I would like to share some nightmare event I’d been through…..

Year 2002 -2003

Year 2002-2003 was the 1st time in my life to go far away from home to pursue my study opportunity in UTM. During my very 1st year in University, we were asked to stay inside University Campus. I have no choice at all. I stayed at a University College called ” Kolej Rahman Putra” and we called it KRP. I have to tell you that staying in University College is like ……………

…yeah it is like Prison.

No doubt University Students are very smart. They dress smartly to school. They are all Nerdies. They talk sophistically. They think differently. They are competitive… But these are all their characteristics only in between the starting and ending of a lecturing class. Basically they are all criminals, hooligans, Babarians when they stay together. We are all civilized people. But when come to these…. we eat each other!

Note evidence above, this picture was taken in my room opposite my bed. A day before exams. When sleeping time became Fight Club Sessions.. It is like some sort of Gang Bang. Below is the victim of that session.

It is horrific! I wish I was not there. I felt sorry at that time because I can’t do a thing. Let me say peace to all the people that involved and let me say grace to those victims because you are far from suffering now, please start a new life and forget about the past. The Past is painful.

Note evidence above is another disgusting event. This photo was taken opposite my bed during my sleeping time. Prisoner inside that photo was playing a Chinese instrument called erhu. You can see that he is playing it differently in front of other prisoner mates. Instead of playing erhu properly, he put that innocent piece of instrument in between his legs, holding the erhu like he is holding part of his organ, he wanted to show his manlihood infront of others. It was disturbing, noisy and of course disgusting.

Eugene

*** note the name of the prisoner in the above picture is Eugene Lee. Direct translate of Eugene in Chinese is ” Eu 妖 – gene 精”. Malay means syaitan. Eugene is the master of destruction. He is a criminal prodigy and a criminal genius. He is not tall which makes him look like a small little pervert.

He was born in Malacca during the Malacca darkest age. At the age of 7, he had familiarized with all the dark event in the work. His famous idol is Adolf Hitler . According to him, he started to shave his balls at the age of 3 in order to show his royalty to Hitler. He has a lot of criminal charm. He studied in UTM to pursue a PHD in criminal psychology. He graduated at the year of 2007 and UTM grant him the tittle “Dr. EVIL“.

I’m proud to live with Eugene Dr. Evil for a period of time. I learn a lot through him. It is really interesting to live with a criminal lord.

2002 happy new year 2003

This is another picture showing a bunch of criminals fighting among each other to get a bottle rum a few hours before happy new year 2003. Note Dr. Evil is at the extreme right in the picture. This time the photo was not taken opposite my bed, It is ON MY BED! gosh! how could I sleep. Anyway we were all screaming, fighting to get a bottle of alcohol. Jumping on my bed… it was hilarious.!

After they jumping and do all the stupid things already. Look at the above photo. My bed was the result of every gang-bang conducted by criminals. My entire bed structure was crooked. You can see Dr.Evil is celebrating in the photo. But that wasn’t the end yet. They continue to……..

They wanted to further destroy my bed. Not wanting to give me any peacefulness. Picture above is the previous victom. I had no idea why he was so happy that day. Seems like he started to enjoy being tortured.

They were continuing glorifying their deeds. See the picture above. Dr. Evil is showing his supremacy reigning master piece.

Thank God during that time Dr. Evil was there. He insisted the other criminals to secretly transport my bed to other places. He managed to steal another new bed for me from other room. Picture above shows that Dr. Evil once again is coordinating and monitoring the criminal activity. The entire event was accomplished in a very short period of time, perfect and no one notice about it.

2003 onwards

after 1 year experiencing the college prison life. We were allowed to move out from University to find our own house to stay. We managed to find a house. Life’s goes on. Each of us trying to get our own self inner peace. I thought My bed time nightmares were over.

But, Dr. Evil did it again

.

.

.

.

.

Well, I have no regrets to stay with all these criminals. A lot of things I can learn from them, or maybe that’s the only education I can get back then.
