my 2012....

somehow, we all are still alive and the world didnt end. and it means, the fabulous life of prince kenneth will keep on rolling. guess what? i have already started planning my vacations/ travel plans for 2013. can't wait for it to begin.

the last day of the year is always interesting. a day you celebrate your achievements for the whole year and also partying with close friends while wishing each other another good year ahead.

no doubt! i have more wrinkles on my face... for me, wrinkles are alrite. what matters most, is i'm ageing with great life experiences.

so, what about my 2012? i can only say one word.... perfect. i've lived 2012 like the way i wanted it to be. travelled to many fabulous destinations across europe, africa and asia. and i hope i can achieve the same in 2013.

the amazing part...

i've travelled with 17 different airlines

i've boarded 41 flights

i've landed in 20 different airports

across 13 countries....

among 13 countries, 10 of them were my vacations. i've visited, bahrain, oman, egypt, india, iran, denmark, jordan, maldives, laos and greece. most of my friends cursed me... guys! everyone has different priorities in life and for me... travelling is my number one passion. i'm not aiming for a big villa or nice car... or wanna get marry. so, all my savings are for travelling purpose (and maybe for some nice clothes and shoes).

as for my career! i love what i'm doing right now. thanks to mcdermott for giving me the opportunity. and because of mcdermott, i'm living my dream life.

aside from having a good job and crazy travelling, i met many new friends... from dubai to singapore! and met many long lost friends again.

overall, 2012 is amazing... another fabulous year in the life of prince kenneth. au revoir 2012! 

the surprise...

the herbal tea!

is okie to be sick.... if someone willing to send over a bottle of herbal tea!

the someone!

is raining outside! the sound of raindrops make me wanna miss someone. is there a someone out there i should be missing? where is that someone right now? what is that someone doing right now? walking on the street with an umbrella? sipping a cup of hot cappuccino at a roadside cafe? or playing the piano at the lobby of a hotel? no matter what, i'm alone looking out of the window while the rain washing away my feelings.

The view from my room!

Lorong Geylang 41, Singapore

when i was in jordan!

i... walked thru history
i... soaked in the famous dead sea
i... applied dead sea mud on my body
i... stood on the lowest point on earth
i... met the most honest driver
i... listened to a very beautiful love story
i... examined the mystical marvel of petra
i... lived like a bedouin
i... slept in the desert with the stars above as my blanket
and i... got myself a free tanning session

大塚 愛 / 恋愛写真

ただ、君を愛してる
Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru

watched! cried!

how far will you go for the one you love?
how many drop of tears are you going to cry for the one you love?
and what are you going to do if you know that the one you love is going to leave you forever?

Global Bersih 3.0 (from around the world)

i cried!
i'm so inspired and proud to be a malaysian.
there was a point where i totally hated the land where i was born and raised.
but this video somehow pulled my heart and soul back to this beautiful land.
we, malaysians do love our beloved homeland.
we wanna see change and put a stop to what those jerks are doing to malaysia.
let's unite and create a better malaysia.

when you love someone, waking up next to him/ her is the most beautiful feeling! agree?

daddy... i miss you!

when i was on my way home today... out of sudden, i thought of the most important man in my life. my eyes got wet. i really miss him. i'm so far away and have no chance to make him happy everyday. 

i wanna be the best son for him.
i want him to be proud of me.
i wanna buy meat jerky for him.
i wanna go for breakfast with him every morning.
i wanna sit next to him when he is playing mahjung.
i wanna read newspaper with him at the living room.
i wanna watch cantonese drama with him every evening.
i wanna boil sweet potato soup for him.
i wanna be there to buy him chicken rice when he is hungry.
i want him to feel the love from me.

wish i can spend everyday with him...

i love you, dad!

when you no longer with someone, do you truly wish she/ he can be happy without you?
i started to think... do any of my exes ever care? are they wishing me well and happiness?

Sunset at Taj Mahal

would love to go to taj mahal again... with the one i love! holding hand and admire the beauty of it...

is there a tomorrow?

i'm sitting alone at platform 2. my train back to delhi from agra has been delayed. with various unpleasant smells from different directions, i do feel a bit uncomfortable. but what really make me feel uncomfortable isn't what striking my nose but those street kids at the train station. what i have seen in 'slumdog millionaire' is now right in front of my eyes. they are collecting empty bottles at the railway station with sadness in their eyes.

i'm sad, truly sad. the world knows about these kids but nothing much has been done! i'm now questioning myself. what can i do for them? i really wish they can attend school like normal kids and enjoy carefree life with clean clothes and shoes. my eyes are wet! poverty is not harming india or tourism but me. i must do something! these kids must go to school and smile.

my aim for 2012

is already the 8th week of 2012 and i'm still a bit puzzled on what i should be aiming in this year. the last 7 weeks, i was too busy to think. yes... damn busy! family came, moved to a new apartment, busy at the office etc!

what i should be aiming this year?

As an engineer
-get confirmation from mcdermott (a bit worry)
-absorb as much knowledge as possible

As a traveller
-visit 8-10 countries in 2012 (already been to two countries)
-in my mind: jordan, lebanon, cyprus, croatia, hungary, kenya, georgia, armenia and iran
-explore 30 world heritage sites

As a fashion slave
-more tod's
-my 1st burberry trench coat
-new wallet, maybe? or a bag?

am i asking too much?

v day 2012...

alone in a foreign country... what else to say? life is just strange! a year ago, i was with someone and did think we will have many v days together but we both are heading different paths now.

some promises are sweet to be heard but not realistic to hold on!

happy v day to my family, my friends and myself.
