April, May, June..July... and still quirky!

Greetings...

Its obvious angloes-seasons.blogspot.com has been left an orphan in the past 4 months. Its almost half a year! hehe.. Apologies to whoever came and saw stories from "yonks".

ITs been a very eventful 4 months!
From Hola to Bonjour..
No Clubs to 1 Club
From Grafitti to Salvador Dali,
Transportation to Bridges,
From Milk and Juice to Chivas and Coke (in moderation..ok maybe slightly over once..in C...we wont go down that embarassing road.. im sorry Lord)
And through the whole circle of emotions..

But some things never change...
From Sodomy (1998) to Sodomy (2008).. "Berapa kali mau tipu rakyat?" DSAI

*ponders* checks most recent posts, checks where he left off..

Ive made my maiden trip to Paris. Met Dad, his colleagues, uncle and aunt and got to know a few achievers from AmBank. AS was the architecture in Barcelona was stunning, so was it in Paris. The Eiffel Tower did not disappoint either. :) it did not end there.. we visited Champagne, Reims.. yup, thats right.. the origin of Champagne.



And finally Jon too made his trip to WItham! Woo! With an 'expert amateur' photographer comes brilliant pics. Even making WItham look a decent place. =D

It was great meeting up and of course Thanks for the alcohol training, Jonathan!.... heres cheers to you!

woop! a spanish touch to my eventful february

A landmark. A first. My first trip to mainland Europe. Was rather excited although it started on a low. Nudge me for details.. lol...but thankfully i it did not affect the rest of the holiday. Had a blast with Jon and Ben. Been awhile so great fun!

Pics and more pics..

It was a whole change of culture. I found it really unique. The language, the way of life. Getting 2 hr lunch breaks, closing bakeries and shops too! I was really shocked.

Gaudi's architecture is stunning..His vision amazing although his financial aptitude is suspect though..with all his designs costing a fortune!

Although the place was nice, time spent meeting up with Ben n Jon made the trip a brilliant weekend getaway ;)

A Summary of my Trip Back Home - Edited

as Esmond hangs his head in shame... he apologises to all the Agape Youth he met for breakfast at Jln Song.. really din mean to leave you guys out..but blotches of memory became fuzzy...yup appreciated the meet up.. hope to see u all soon! hopefully..

***********************************************************************************
Hi all,

The visit counts to my blog has been dropping..hehe...due to abandonment of it...hehe..yeah it has been for the past month. I've been away, back to Malaysia and also to Singapore for 2 amazingly fast weeks. Boarding the plane back to the UK, i thought i just landed the day before. owh well..as they say all good things must come to an end...although in this case not permanently..phew.

The journey back was incredulously long. Left my house here in Witham at 7am on Saturday, 2nd Feb and it took 30 hrs to reach Kuching Airport...with 2 "pit stops" (ahh... forgot the word) one in Abu Dhabi and the other in Kuala Lumpur.

The idea was to enjoy the most of 5 full days and 1 nite and 1 early morning in Kuching before heading to Singapore for a week with Rachel =)

The moment I touched down in Kuching...it felt like "Wow..its so good to be home!" Total bliss! But as expected since it was close to CNY the airport was packed...the atmosphere was great ..you could almost see the anticipation in everyones eyes towards the New Year.

With limited time, the time in Kuching had to be quality time spent with my "nucleus" family, extended family and old friends...not forgetting catching up on Kuching's food. =) So there i was waking up early on most days going out for breakfast with the family, getting some new year stuff before the 7th (CNY day 1)

Highlight of my Kch trip..
Met Rahim, Hui Lin, Lawrence, Adrian, Bong, Ehren, Wilfred, Jason, Poh Peng and Teck Leong..
Explored the Spring and Boulevard
Went up the new flyover near the airport
Saw the new Dewan... something... opposite Waterfront
Saw the rainbow coloured Star Cineplex
Visiting my grandma n relatives..receiving Angpao..always a + point =D
and the elusive new year eve dinner..wah i love the Fish Bladder soup..even now my stomach is grumbling for more!
wow...so nice thinking back..and thats my 5 days gone..

Unfortunately, ive still not got the habit of taking pics so most of them are left to ur imagination..hehe..

Not to worry...there is still my Singapore trip..not all is gloom...happy thoughts still filled my mind hehe...although i was a lil hesitant that i would enjoy it as much as rac was having lectures during the week but she switched and changed her times...spending as much time as she possibly could with me exceeding my expectations... thanks Rac... =) =)..

Havent been to Singapore in like 4 years so yea i knew it would be a lil more exciting? ..Yes it was..pleasant indeed!

Shopping was the name of the game..or rather u can almost say the theme for most days lol..jkjk..there was plenty to see and plenty to do since both of us were not that familiar to Singapore. Rachel with her few months of staying in Singapore did however manage to be a reasonable tour guide...haha...not bad la...really really..hehe..explored NUS a lil,

It was special as we manage to spend Valentine's Day this year.. which was great... had a really enjoyable time with Rac. We also went to Sentosa which was sweet! The beach was clean, looked pretty, the water fountain show, 'Oscar' was really good, and the flower show was superb. Couldnt have asked for more really. Made for a perfect day out..

There is so much more! The trip deserves another post..wit pics..hehe.. Till Then.
:)

what about the chickens...

could our beloved box of all, the tv change the world?

Jamie Oliver is currently running a 'chicken crusade'.. fighting for the welfare of chickens which ultimately becomes food...the irony.

I've heard of three type of chickens... caged chicken, free range chickens and organic chickens
...normally id just go for the cheapest one..words that just pass me by, never really meant a whole lot.....the cheaper the better... right? kiam siap...lol..


and then...one day..

as boredom engulfs me i flicked through the channels as most guys would.. *click* News...boring..hmm, *click* news.. boring...*click* talk show boring.. *click* chicken? hey...Jamie Oliver...hey..ok..lets see what this dude's got to show..

the first thing he showed were little chicks separated into two cages, male chicks and female chicks...the male chicks are placed in a gas chamber (reminded me of the holocaust) they get all drowsy and faints then fed to animals in zoos...so ok...feel a lil bad right..see the chicks pengsan like that..

what about the female chicks? they are placed in small wired cages after 20 weeks which remains home for basically their life's purpose to produce eggs..as in any industry...productivity is everything..the most production with as little space..they are fed well, and on average produce an egg a day...its madness isnt it? and after a year..the quality of eggs deteriorates...these older hens are 'discarded' as pet food or processed food with newer hens taking their place...

a modern hen's home

effects after a year of confinement...the feathers starts falling off and would normally have problems moving about
thats how we get our 15eggs for $1.25 ...on the contrary we have to pay almost that amount for 6 eggs from free range chickens.. living in a much better place...somewhat like this..


ultimately, ..how far should people go to preserve the welfare of chickens whose fate is not any different...

as of now..15eggs for $1.25 still sounds about right to me.

FWD EMail.....lols

Why Dr. Mahathir insists on using English for math and science. Because globally people use the language as information and/or technology language at this moment. How dangerous it is if we were to use these words in Bahasa, especially in schools. See example below.

hardware = barangkeras
software = baranglembut
joystick = batang gembira
plug and play = cucuk dan main
port = lubang
server = pelayan
client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH :

"That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client."

BAHASA :

"Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan."

aiyo! 10 days to total bliss..

hmm work life is boring atm...ill stop now.

see u soon mates! u lot have been a blessing :)

in retrospect...

25th December 2007
Christmas was pleasant, spent with my extended family slightly up north. The hope, the weather forecast all led to my childlike anticipation of a white christmas... cold as it was, it just didnt want to snow....gutted to grumbles lol.. its another year to wait for me to delight (hopefully, fingers crossed) in a white Christmas.

...................................

31st December 2007
iTs New Year's Eve, to London i leave.

With nothing much happening in Witham, I packed a backpack with a drink, an apple and a jacket to London.. supposed to meet Sim and geng (Northerners..hehe..) who were in London for the New Year. woohoo...not bad not bad...killed the boredom in the hype of festivities...

early afternoon was spent in Westminster Abbey...brilliant architecture, deep in heritage, every corner having a story..love it..although graves are everywhere....from graves of royalty to graves of poetry.. okay that just sound wrong... :S ...i remember King Henry and Tennyson...owh and Charles Dickens too...cool...

but my time of celebrations was just about to start...soon after, met Sim..plans were to see the fireworks although i had no idea where it was to be held lol :P...

it was amazing...best ive seen.. enjoy =D

the official BBC video ..worth the time i reckon hehe...



Yeah..definitely something worth remembering.. =).. and the company? yeah they were a cool bunch ;)...
cheers!

ever so busy...

i say i love God,
yet at times reading the Bible seems like a chore,
5 minutes of prayer and sometimes it feels i would say,
ok..Lord right after i've done this this and that i'd pray to you again.

im busy Lord,
give me 5 minutes, erm 10 minutes and ill read ur word..
10 minutes came, an hr came..2hrs came..
i felt too tired..a verse was all i could muster.

Actions speak louder than words,
Im sorry Lord, please change me,
Teach me to love u more and more each day.

Having felt a trickle of what i've done,
When man say I'm busy,
Oh, not now..maybe later,
It hurt, it made me wonder,
It made me understand the verse John 3:16 a little more,

the NIGHT OUT....the "uninterestingness" of the day after

before arriving..imagining the scene:
meals first, a pint and loud music well through the nite..hrmm.lets see how things will turn out..

setting the real scene:
arrived at Colchester Playhouse at 6.30ish and half of those going were about to start their chirstmas dinner, most had down a pint...as time went on..the table was filled with empty glasses..and im only guilty of leaving one ;) and a small bottle..

so i had a tipsy night the night before...not an avid fan of beer, drinking in general, it seemed almost an adventure, an unlikely sigh holding a bottle of beer...wondering if i should get a glass, my mate, C said, "Drink from the bottle, thats the manly thing to do!"..aye and it was so..

here's the first drink for the day.

tick tock tick tock..the time ticked but it wasnt the easiest of drinks..frivolous as it may seem, its bitter after taste which lingered at the back of my tongue was evident on my face..lol...okok...maybe not to that extreme...it made me hungry, it made me order a chicken tikka masala.. hmm not bad...

second round of drinks for me was a pint of Magners Cider, courtesy of Mr. C...whose goal is to make me an alcoholic by the time i get to 3rd year Uni..
"Drink up Esmond, this will get you well through Uni without you realising it." Mr. C. with his evil grin...

haha..okok..wasnt like that at all..it was a cool nite hanging out with mates....in the end we were sitting down for the whole nite.. Magners was my choice of the two :) ..Next on the list of drinks to try would be Fosters.

Any obvious after effects..abit tired after but was able to last well into the night.. walked home without a hint of drunkenness..at least i thought so :D..

bedtime at XX.XXam

today was filled with simple yet essentials for living, washing of clothes, cooking, watching tv (Old Bond movie..so old i din even noe this movie existed)... 4.14pm..the gloom of the day sets in..owh well hoping SUmmer would come soon :P

anyways thats all for today..just a glimpse of my life in a little town, Witham
...loving life but missing friends.. ironic...lol..okie..

God bless peeps..

Frosty...fading colours..

The weather has just been close to disastrous, unpredictable, just plain uncool... lol..

Anyway thought i'd add some pics to my seemingly wordy turning blog..

I was just about on time for work but unique sights kept me away from work..afterall there are more to life then work haha..k k....ekks..jkjk..some pics taken on the 14th November

18 mins to work (17mins walk)..Just outside my coach house..frosty grass..so take pic....ahh and just by the house thats a New Zealand shed like thing (those in NZ i need ur help here ;))...for my landlord's grandchildren to play in..Jerry made it..so sweet huh..

16mins to work..just thought this was nice..the pond, the frost covered grass, the still slightly green bush...pretty!
10mins to work..but still abt 13 mins walk..k late di....i stumbled upon this frozen leaf...the perfect contrast among the frost covered grass..

ok..now im late and im cold.. -_-...a winter - like tree/bush..bare and lifeless...it just reminds me in life while facing seasons of winter 'cold, dry and lifeless' the seasons of spring 'perfect weather, scenic, bright' is bound to come by..looking forward to my season of spring.. :) ..

but...even in this, I've got to thank God for giving me a shot at a life i once thought was a dream.

ahh...closer and closer to work...guess what i saw!
lol...jkjk

be blessed peeps. come back soon ^.^

Thrown Back to Reality

July - November
I've been on honeymoon for the past *count with fingers* ...August September October November ok.. 4 months...

Dad and sis came over...cool..went doing touristy stuff..life was slightly more happening then..

4 months on...Lecturer calls..

BM sastera

Can someone please tell me what the name of the guy in form 5 sastera is?..its really bugging me..i know its R...

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

the day as it is...drifting thoughts..

hmm...the monotony of work can sure make a boy as dull as jack.

highlight of the day?
A 4-course meal..ok..it was a very very lazy 4 types of dish meal. :P.. so simple ppl will shoot me if i listed them down..

the world around me is getting colder, my heater is on 24/7, its not as cold as NZ or Russia but still its cold enough for me..its going to be a dreaded walk from work everyday soon..all 17minutes walk..and so my winter gear is coming out of the closet.. and one lonely scarf is finally going to make its debut ;)

..drifting thoughts...

the strings attached to life..
sometimes it feels life is like living a puppet's life..controlled by a puppeteer..yet not a person that controls but rather circumstances in life...strings from the past, pulling me back (regrets, decisions which affect the present, contemplating the what ifs)...strings from the future (worries on achieving career goals, lifestyle, where to go?, what can I do?, is life going to be the inevitable rat race?), pulling me forward...sometimes i do feel im being thorned to shreds.

Yet, while God's peace has always been there, metaphorically as the knife to cut this strings that bind me(sharpen and ready), letting go and cutting loose to live in the present is sometimes a struggle...

Being a child of God, a God of love, mercy and strength has given me an assurance that in our weakness, He'll not ditch us but shine through us for his glory. Poetic, sublime, Victorious.

A verse of assurance: Psalm 23: 4
Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

ahh...thank you Lord =)

ok..i must seriously do something with my appraisal..tata..be blessed okie..
