Cambodia Trip - Part 3

2011-10-02T23:13:00.001+08:00

Final post of my Cambodian trip! This post will show more of the cities & what the people there usually eat =]

Got this bowl of noodles from the road side for breakfast at 9 a.m. Super GOOD @.@

A trip to the National Museum after breakfast!

It was a Monday morning. I was the only one in the whole museum. The feeling is . . . different =]

Spent like 3 hours inside. Took my own sweet time looking around.

Snapsnap xD

The streets of the city. Small city actually ~

They sold roti canai there =.=

Only difference was, it's served like this! Take-away ~

Dinner taime!

A lot of guai lous there. So, they served A LOT of BBQ-ed stuffs.

The only shopping mall there =.=

At night, it's time to chill ~

Drinking by myself at a foreign country. Not many people can do this eh =')

Branch! The soup is DAMN GOOD wth =.=

On my last day . . Can don't need pack up? @.@ My beloved map below! Without this, I couldn't have survived xD

That's all. What you've seen is only a small part. What I saw & experienced before, during and AFTER the trip can never be fully expressed out. It is a good AND bad thing. I wonder what would have happened if I didn't make the decision to go for this trip. Everything might have been different. i might not have learned this much. It just sucks to know what happened when I wasn't around.

Cambodia Trip - Part 2

2011-09-03T12:43:00.000+08:00

I'm back people. Sorry for the late update. A lot has happened recently, and I didn't have the mood to update. Anyway, this is part 2 of my trip & I hope you guys enjoy it! = ]

Just chilling in my ride, while looking at the scenery is indescribable. There is so much to this world, more than what we ever expected. Everything that we have ever seen is only a small part.

The feeling of seeing other couples when you are alone is just . . .

Bought passes to Angkor Wat!

Time to start my journey!

So much to see; so much to do.

But, the feeling of loneliness can never be mistaken.

We waited for sunset, right at the top!

Beautiful.

When you are alone, time passes on even slower; roads taken are even longer.

By the end of the day, it rained so heavily! Thankfully, I was already leaving.

I saw a lot of the famous temples & ancient ruins on my first few days. To see more of the food & the city, stay tuned for the next post! = ]

Cambodia Trip - Part 1

2011-08-24T11:13:00.016+08:00

I'm back from my solo trip people! This is my first time doing this & it was a lot of fun!

I had a 7 a.m. flight, so I reached Siem Reap very early.

There goes my ride - Air Asia!

The airport was really cool although it wasn't very big. It's more like a museum!

My personal tuk-tuk driver was here to pick me up! *Ignore my bag. I didn't have one that size. So, I had to borrow my mum's*

On my way to town from airport.

I'll be staying here! Golden Temple Villa! It's not really a hotel, but more of a Guest House.

Welcome drink for me! So naise!

This is my room yo! Check out how detailed it is decorated with the flowers n all! *If only it was bigger*

Chilled abit in my room before going out to explore! Stay tuned for next blog post! =]

Cambodia: Why I'm Going?

2011-08-16T23:00:00.004+08:00

I'll be leaving for Cambodia this Friday, August 19th. Staying for 5 days. ALONE.

A LOT of people are asking: Why Cambodia? Why alone? Why SO MANY DAYS? People who really understands me, know that I do everything for a reason. And, this is an important reason.

Almost everyone knows about goals and what they want to achieve in life. Question is: How many are doing what is necessary to achieve what they want? Answer: LESS THAN 5%.

Ask yourself people, the things you just did or will be doing later; are they really what you want to do for the rest of your life? If your answer is a NO, but you carry on for the next few years, I wish you the best of luck in wasting your life.

I know very well what I want to do. I know very well too, that only 50% of what I'm doing is truly necessary for myself. More importantly, i know what I'm GOING to do will be very much what I really want to do for the rest of my life.

Fact is, I'm not good enough. I need to be better to do what I really want to do. A lot of people, successful or not, are really not that good when they start out. More importantly, it's how good they WANT to be.

Long story short, this trip is like a refresh & reboot button. i need to reflect on what I have done and think hard about what i'm going to do. My second reason is to open up my eyes & my mind. Human minds get comfortable too quickly, too easily. I need to stretch them & even think differently about how I think at the first place. By looking at different things and experiencing things we don't usually go through, our minds develop faster. And, that's a fact.

So, there you go. I know that this might be a little too deep for some people. But I really want to share this with all of you. Make good use of this, while I make great use of my so-called vacation. I will take lots of pictures to be shared with you when I'm back. Meanwhile, take care & I'LL ENJOY MYSELF ! ! ^.^

Movie Review: Cowboys & Aliens

2011-08-15T22:51:00.008+08:00

Watched a new movie recently!

The two main characters:

If you watched James Bond, you should know one of them:

Trailer looked damn good to me. That's why I wanted to watch it. I love movies with ALIENS . . .

Zombies . . .

And just any crazy, scary stuffs xD

So, how was this movie? It was OK. Not very good, not very bad. Action scenes were quite exciting. Talking scenes were damn boring. And, they talk damn much $#%^@!&!

If you just like aliens with lots of action, this movie will be OK (that's me)

If you don't really like watching aliens shooting cowboys and their horses, then watch another movie. DON'T WATCH THIS.

My rating: 6/10

Putrajaya

2011-08-07T13:47:00.008+08:00

Took a trip down Putrajaya recently.

Didn't do much. Just to chill =]

I was here because this was the only place I knew here haha! Shot a TVC here 2 years ago =')

Being retarded as usual.

Ok. Proper one.

Anyone looking for a nice place to photo-shoot or just to chill? I think you will like it here ~

Peace out.

This Is So Pink

2011-08-07T13:13:00.011+08:00

Pink is gay. NOT. Depends who's wearing it HAHAHAHHAHAHA! #oksorrybacktoblog

We were at Fullhouse, KL. My first time here. I guess quite a lot of people has been here before. I know I'm outdated.

I must say that the decorations are nice. Even the tea-set looks so pure & innocent. #justlikemecoughcough

Talking crap before the food came LOL

Mine =]

Hers.

Us.

I look retarded xD

I must be thirsty!

Being ke-po!

After that, went for a friend's wedding at PJ. Everything is so nice. Everyone is so happy. For NOW. LOL!

Bumblebee chocolate as door gifts ~

That's all for today. Have a nice day <3

Ipoh & Penang Trip - Part 2

2011-07-17T15:09:00.025+08:00

So, I only spent a day & a night at Ipoh. What a short trip. But thank goodness it was short. The town is soooooo boring =.= Let's go to Penang!

Nice looking apples in the hotel room. Didn't touch them coz I hate apples xD

Erm . . Nice room hor? =D

The BEST of Penang. Enough said!

At first, I thought there were flies on top of the pineapples. But NO! Those were actually BEES >.< The owner said this shows how sweet his pineapples were. Errr ok. I'm still not going to buy.

Famous cendol here! Ho ho ho ~

This place reminds me of Malacca!

Coffee break!

I saw a puppy in this place! Sho cute ~

Dinner taime!

Seafood ~ Ho chiak! xD

Walking along Batu Ferringhi at night.

Later, I went for FISH SPA for the first time ever.

This is one of the WORST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE! Super GELI can? I can't even tahan for more than 1 minute >.< Damn many fishes makan my feet wei. What's wrong with you all? Damn =.=

Fish spa sucks. Please return my money.

Ipoh & Penang Trip - Part 1

2011-07-10T14:01:00.022+08:00

My parents & I went on a short trip North. Here we are, Ipoh!

We reached early enough for breakfast at the original OLD TOWN WHITE COFFEE shop. This is where it all started.

This old man was chilling at the corner, taking his time to enjoy life. You don't get this a lot in KL.

This is what I have been eating since I was a kid. The all famous Chee Cheong Fun!

Checking into Tower Regency Hotel once we were done eating. Not a very fancy hotel, but it was one of the better places at this small town.

Going up to my room - Level 16. If only we could head to Level 17 xD

The bathroom looks nice! Time for some actionnnnnnn hahahahahahahaa!

Lemme put my best slippers on . . and we're out!

Look what I found! Toasted bread with eggs & TOASTED ICE CREAM BREAD!

This is very famous here at Ipoh. But I didn't have any. Coz I don't really like it. Funny me >.<

Let's finish the day with some dessert!

Alright. Fulldieme. Tireddieme. Time for me to get some rest.

End of Day 1 at Ipoh. Coming soon:

Ooops . . Want to see what I was having before this? Stay tuned =)

Great Outings . . = D

2010-09-12T21:59:00.007+08:00

I'm Legal ! X D

2010-05-31T13:47:00.002+08:00

Finally, I'm 21 years of age. Good or bad ? ? Who knows ! XD

Supposed to do a mini gathering at my home and maybe do a BBQ or steamboat dinner for my family and friends. Plan was called off in the end because my mum said that it would be too troublesome =.=

Change of plans then. Went to Genting with friends to have a short trip. At the same time, I could catch Fang Da Tong in action with his superb vocals =)

At the same time, payed Issac and Pinky a short visit too. They were working as singers at the casinos there and I got a glimpse of their somewhat hectic but boring lifestyle haha!

Talking about casino, I was finally allowed to enter the casino without being stopped! I was in there for only about 15 minutes though. It sucks to see people gambling with so much money and yet be so carefree. So, I left for KFC's Black Pepper Crunch XD Sedapppp ! !

Anyway, I fell SICK as soon as I reached home =.= Currently down with a very bad sore throat and high fever as I am using the last of my energy to write this blog post. Please pray that I don't have to bang the wall due to the excruciating pain!

What a way to end my 21st birthday.

Time - Out at Pavilion

2010-05-22T21:15:00.005+08:00

I dropped by Pavilion the other day for some window shopping and a movie. While waiting for the movie to start, I still managed to waste time by taking pictures XD

We watched "Kidnapper". It wasn't too bad of a movie. I just felt very geram at times. I actually felt like jumping into the screens and taking things into my own hands at times haha!

After the movie, dropped by Wong Kok to eat. Didn't expect Pavilion's Wong Kok to be so nice. Most importantly, it had a BIG mirror. Nice ~ Food was only slightly better though.

Hopefully, I get to do more of this outings =)

Prawns . . . ? Anyone ?

2010-02-27T14:59:00.004+08:00

There was a dinner that I attended a few days ago. Astro invited us to perform for them, as well as to join their CNY celebrations.

It was held in a renowned "Seafood Restaurant" at Bangsar. Surprisingly, the only seafood served was PRAWN. Nothing else related to seafood.

Sadly enough, even the prawns were hated by Kah Fai. Kesian ~

洁钰 . . 生日快乐 !

2010-02-03T13:55:00.000+08:00

Here's wishing Jie Yu a great 21st birthday! May all your wishes come true and this year be even better than the previous one!

We were all invited to celebrate her birthday party at Cameron. We gathered at Subang, before leaving at noon. The road gave us headaches, the sun was hot and worst of all . . . my iPhone was running out of battery!

After a 3 hour journey, we finally arrived. We went to have fresh strawberry juice! *sedap*

Later that evening, we showered before heading to the birthday party. It was held at a restaurant, which belonged to one of her relatives. We ate, ate, ate and ate. Then, we were told that there was BBQ too. *happyyy* 100 years didn't do BBQ liao.

The whole night, we ate like cows, drank, played and sang! Wei Quan opened a karaoke session with his guitar. Huhu..

At 4 a.m., we finally decided to return home. If not, later polis datang. It was quite difficult for me to get a good sleep. It was so cold . . . >.<

The next day, we had a great lunch at the restaurant again before returning to Subang. It was definitely a great trip for my first time to Cameron.

Now that I am back, I'm thinking . . . How should I celebrate my 21st birthday? Hmm . . .

Cut Cut Cut

2010-01-29T13:07:00.002+08:00

I want a change of hairstyle! I want something cool! Yeng! Fresh! I want . . . I want . . . I want THIS ! !

Can or not?

Preparation

2010-01-08T13:35:00.004+08:00

I have a very important homework this week: Watch 惡魔在身邊。

I was selected to act in a locally produced short film. It is not a very big project as it is not meant to be shown in the silver screens. I was told that it might be aired on Astro by the beginning of this year.

My role: A playboy >.< Don't laugh k. I told 10 of my friends about this news and 12 of them laughed hard. Wth.

In order to "get in touch" with my role, I will be watching 賀軍翔 in 惡魔在身邊 again. Not that his role was a playboy, but I am supposed to carry his arrogant, stylish and "I am the best" character.

This was actually the first Taiwanese drama that I watched when I was still in secondary school. Hence, the name "Devil Prince" =P

*My Inspiration*

Makan Makan~

2009-12-29T21:39:00.013+08:00

Min and I were invited by ifeel to do a food review at a syabu syabu restaurant called "Mo Mo Paradise". It took me 1 hour to get there, because i sesat. It was somewhere in Kepong and I wasn't very familiar with that area. I think I should talk less today and show more pictures =)

We were the guests of honor and we were allowed to eat as much as we could! Muahahahahaha!

One thousand and one types of sauces for you to pick from.

My favorite. Spicy until grandmother also cannot recognize.

The ones that we both chose before beginning our feast.

吃给他死 ! ! !

When I first entered the restaurant, I thought they served sushi too.

After 3 hours . . .

Let's end with a pose ! Haha! = P

Practice, Practice and Practice

2009-12-26T12:00:00.000+08:00

After a few weeks, I can finally play my first song on the guitar. But . . . there are a lot of "TOINK"s, "TANGG"s and looooong pauses in the middle. (Because it takes me 5 years to change chords) = {

When can I play as yeng as him? You see. . Can play catch with leng lui tim. . Catch ed got special show for you. . Yeng mou. . . ?

Mid Valley's Parking Lot is Cursed!

2009-12-22T23:13:00.002+08:00

A few months ago, I drove a friend's car to Mid Valley. I parked, rushed to do some errands, and rushed back to the parking lot. The problem? I couldn't find the car.

I ran and ran around that floor of the parking lot for 1 hour. I was sweating so much that I didn't need to bath later. I called my friend, who was inside Mid Valley, for help. She came to my rescue and asked me if I was sure that THIS was the floor I parked at. I said that I am so sure that if my grandmother told me I was wrong, I would slap her.

So, she looked around for a while, walked down one floor and . . . there the car was. =.="

My mistake. I know.

This afternoon, I went to Mid Valley with my own car. I parked, snapped a picture, wrote down the Floor Number, Parking Block and memorized the first few shops that I could see as soon as I entered the shopping center.

When it was time to go home, I could find my car easily. Sap sap water. I drove to the exit booth only to realize . . . I couldn't find my parking ticket. Wth. I looked all over the car. Under the seats, between all the lubangs, car roof, car boot and everywhere that I could look at. I walked back to the shop that I went to and the parking spot I parked at. No sign of the stupid ticket. I went back to the car, preparing to pay the fine of RM 50.

I decided to look for it one last time. I turned behind and . . . there the ticket was on the floor of the back seat. I have no idea how it flew there.

This is the last time I am parking at Mid Valley.

Battleground Finals '09

2009-12-20T05:44:00.002+08:00

December 19th 2009 was an important date for 22 dancers. Their fates and future would be decided on that night itself. Passion, glory & victory (and cash also lah) would be won by the best team.

And so, Katoon Network, Dancologist, Elecoldxhot & Wakaka Fever battled till legs broke, eyes popped out, shoes flew around and heads were smashed. Ok la . . Not really that ganas. But, shoes really did flew around . . , thanks to Elecoldxhot!

Wakaka Fever gave us a lot of crazy stunts and moves we never thought were possible. Dancologist shook and shook until our noses bled. Elecoldxhot was so cool that we had to remind ourselves to close our gaping mouths halfway through their routines. = O Katoon Network was so entertaining that we thought we were watching a movie instead of a dance.

If I was the judge of this competition, I would climb up KLCC and jump down from its highest floor. All of them were so damn good that I wouldn't know how to judge them.

Then again, I must say that I am satisfied with the results . . . in a way. A lot of people thinks that Elecoldxhot should have won. Them, being last season's Champion and the viewer's favorite.

Because I am more familiar with them and their members, I was basically at MOS to support them. So when the judges announced the results of the finals, I was like . . . "Your grandmother teach you to dance wan ar. . . ?"

The next day, I went online and watched the whole competition again. As I watched the final battle again, I could not help but admit that Katoon Network really deserved to win RM 26, 000.

If you asked me now, I would tell you that BOTH teams were fantastic and they should share the RM 25, 000. Then again, that would be so dumb because every member would bring home peanuts by the time they divided the money to 11 people.

The best part about the Finals last night? It kinda reminded me that MY important date was July 25th 2009 =')

Independence Day

2009-12-17T05:30:00.000+08:00

fter 14 years of studying and memorizing notes, Independence Day has finally arrived! I have just finished my final examinations a few days ago and it feels good! . . . Knowing that I won't be sitting for another exam too soon in the future. I've graduated unofficially for now. At only 20 years old eh . . . How cool is that? =P

My mum is not too happy about it though. She told me not to stop studying . . . Masters! Second Degree! Second Diploma! STPM! Anything! As long as it's about studying then you are on the right track! >.< Ya rite . . . I've had enough of studying. It's time to move on!

I know a lot of people are asking me where I have been studying. I have answered this question a thousand times and it seems like people are still going to ask me for another thousand times. So. . I am telling you NOW that I am studying at Segi University College (Subang Campus). Ask me again and I will slap you until your grandmother can't recognize you =)

Now that studying is done for, what now. . . ? I have no idea . . Can someone please tell me?

Welcome to Ryan Foo Joe's Blog!

2009-12-17T05:00:00.000+08:00

Welcome . . . . . to my Blog!! =DD

Finally, after 100 years, I have decided to open my very own blog. I've actually wanted to do this since last year, since I started reading blogs. But then again, I was not only afraid that nobody would even care to read my postings. I didn't even know if I knew what to write. Imagine doing the same things everyday (guling guling around the house, goyang kaki, wait for durians to drop) and thinking of something exciting or interesting to blog about. White hair also grow out I tell you. >.<

Now that I think I should have more things to write about, I shall begin to blog. This is upon request from the many people who have asked/persuaded/told/begged/pleaded me to start a blog. So, this is your chance to thank me =P

Being the noob that I am, it took me 10 years to set up this blog. After setting up this blog, it took me another 10 years to make it look good. A big Thank You to Keqian for helping me set up this blog ya . . I will never forget what you have done for me ! ! Wahhh say until like so 伟大 oni horr Hahaha . . .

Well, I shall blog whenever I have something to tell you guys about, or when I just feel like writing down my feelings and emotions. Feel free to leave comments, shout - outs, likes, dislikes, praises, criticism or anything at all. As long as you don't spam, I'm alright with almost anything = )

P.S. Before you leave, please remember to BOOKMARK my blog ! ! =P
