ManMeng's Lifepad

[Travel] Random Airy Rant

Perhaps one of the most wonderful thing in life that we tend to agree on, is we never expect what to come next, though even if it’s being predicted. This happens to me when I was on a flight back to work from the LCC Terminal in Sepang, Kuala Lumpur?(or Selangor?)

Above is a bunch of ships approaching the shore near the Singapore bay.

And of course, a lot of blue airy skies. 

Weird fluffy clouds.

However I’d think it’s been proven that by taking a plane from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore (theoretically and practically) does takes the same amount of time but with lesser effort through coaches. I still couldn’t imagine the pain of waking up in the middle of the night at 5A.M. to get ready for the flight.  

But as sad as it may sound like, I’m really glad to stumble upon such scene. You never know what might hit you in your eye.

This is the shot I like, however it’s spoiled by the reflection from the window.

Terminal 1 Changi Airport, Changi, Singapore

The exotic coffee?

Though I’m not much of a coffee-holic, but it seems the buzz around this coffee has been going around quite a while here in Singapore and I’ve been wondering what and how does it tastes like. Certainly, it would not be your ordinary Kopi-O-Kao, it’s something really different, but to a certain extend, it could be a love-hate relationship with this. But for me, it was like one of the really nice smell that I have taste from a coffee, period.  

And how it is different? I bought a cup for a test-run, and it’s… different in terms of the preparation for the coffee. I opted for no sugar, no milk. Of course, this would be a road down to the bitter hell, but I’m already expecting that to happen to…ordinary coffee. As you can see from the picture above, it’s really going to squeeze all of the extract from the beans for you the best out of it.
 
And after a worthwhile 5 minute wait, how much does it get to squeeze? Less than 1/3 of the entire cup! But trust me, for even a non-coffeeholic like me, I could give this a max 5 point for its aroma, and the taste? Surprisingly smooth and non-super-bitter, it’s much more delicate what I can expect from raw coffee.

So besides that, what do I found during the past few month? (after Chinese New Year)

Bunch of red packets (Ang Pows) 

Seafood at Port Klang, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. This is one of the famous “commercialized” seafood restaurant, known as the Coconut Garden. They sell alcohol made from pure coconut extract. Cool huh?

It’s so packed there that I had to parked the car like this.

And you wouldn’t want to mess with the people there.

Besides that, also went up hill in Puchong, Selangor for some night shot.

Did some test run on the kit-lens and my Circular Polarizer for my D60.

So that would basically summarized up on what has happened here and there for the past few weeks, except the really recent exciting virgin mountain hiking

Happy new year again! Enjoy the suprise smileys below!
