Happy New Year 2009 !!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 !!!!!!

~ WE WELCOME THE YEAR OF THE OX ~

Took this picture with Galvin when the clock struck 12 O'Clock... We were standing at the mini square in between The Curve and Cineleisure... Everyone was busy spraying foam/confetti on each other and shouting Happy New Year !!! The feeling was great.. But.. for the first time in my life, I started to think a lot.. While everyone was shouting, I was thinking of whatever I have done for the year 2008. Reflecting on the mistakes and righteous deeds that I have commited.. I guess I start to think more maturely now and have the understanding that New Year is not all about celebrations alone but it is also a time to reflect and think of ways on how to begin a new chapter of your life...

So, I started to watch the fireworks display.. While I look at the beauty of the colours and patterns being splashed onto a dark night's sky, I can't help but feeling relieved that I have made it another year.. We always complain that life is difficult.. It's true.. but have you ever thought that the every second you complaint, you are also living another second longer. Basically, it is how you look at life..

This was taken before it became a gigantic star.. * I know I have done many mistakes in life.. I asked myself whether what I am doing now is a mistake? Is doing something that you like a crime?.. It's not like I have break the rules or anything.. I am just being myself.. But the problem is.. being yourself sometimes mean that you have to go against other's will.. Make the right decision, Victor.. Only you know yourself best!* I was troubled that moment but I was also embracing it...

This was before the finale.. The skies were lit by the brightness of the fireworks display when it bloomed.. * Maybe whatever I am doing now is the right thing.. Something that will not only make me happy but also light my way to a happier life *

This was the best shot I managed to take before the red flower blossomed ... * You need to make an effort Victor orelse whatever you've done will all go to waste and you won't be able to rip the fruits of your labour *- I wish that my loved ones ( Family, Partner and Friends) be safe and happy always...

This was how the road sandwiched by Ikano and The Curve looked like that night. It was flooded with people of all races and backgrounds. One thing they had in common, all of them were there to have fun and have the best experience of their lives. It was nice to see how people of different races get together and have fun. This is how Malaysia should be like and this is how we should act as well in developing our country; Not during celebrations alone...

The stage where popular Malaysian artistes came to sing and countdown to the new year.. Only god knows how many people were there that night. This was taken 30 minutes after midnight and there were still many behind me not to mention those lingering around in other places.. but the excitement was still there and everyone was still dancing away and spraying foam on each other. The sight of it made me smile. I even thought of buying a box of those sprays and start spraying on those who sprayed me... But damn!! I couldn't find the vendor.. Haha.. Ryan came and he was the one accompanying me while I took these pictures. Its always nice to capture moments where people are having fun.

Since we lost the Galvin's groupof friends, Ryan and I decided to chillout at The Apartment. We had Peach and Strawberry Pavlova for dessert... Hahaha.. something funny happened when we were there.. Someone kissed my hand.. It was a girl whom I didn't know.. Basically, there was this group of 'kids' I call them.. playing a game and it so happened that this girl lost and the punishment was to wish me a Happy New Year and kiss my hand.. Hahaha.. I stoned there for a moment.. I can't take surprises well you know.. It takes a second or two before the information kicks into my brains.. Slow reaction I suppose.. I wished them a Happy New Year and we toasted.

This is what we had for cocktail... Sex on the beach... Although it was only me and Ryan , I was beginning to enjoy my stay there as I started to find my inner peace.. but Mr Ryan must ruin it by asking me countless times why I was so quiet that night...He told me that people should be excited during New Years.. I was happy... Really happy as a matter of fact.. It is just that I was expressing it in a different way.. But now come to think of it, after all the reflecting I was sad for a moment there.. Anyway, it was a great chillout place although I had a little boy next to me keep asking me questions and the group at the back of me laughing and shouting while they continued playing their game.. Yet, I managed to find my inner peace.. How? I wonder...

And this is how Ikano looked like after the celebrations.. A massive rubbish dump!! Hahahaa... Happy New Year everyone..!!! I hope you too had a great New Year's Eve !

Thoughts of DominicVick for the New Year ~

Eve of Christmas Eve @ KL Lookout Point.

Oneday, my kor @ pet bro sms-ed me to ask me whether I was free on the 24th or the 25th.. I told him I won't be free on either days as I will be having my christmas eve party at home.. So he asked me again whether I was free on the 23rd... Then after checking my schedule, I found out that I was free for the day. So I replied him that I will be free on that date and he replied me back saying that he will take me somewhere special to celebrate Christmas but didn't want to reveal the location. I was puzzled to where he will bring me.. Of course I didn't think of the worst thing that could happen to me because I trust him .. but I was still wondering where on earth will he bring me to for a Christmas Dinner?

So on the 23rd he drove me to some place far away from KL. It took us approximately 45 minutes to reach the place and later did I realise how special that place was. It was actually a dining area with restaurants overlooking the city of Kuala Lumpur and it was called KL Lookout Point. It reminded me of the Victoria Peak( correct me if I am wrong) I visited when I was in Hong Kong few years back. The difference was Victoria Peak didn't have any restaurants while KL Lookout Point had. However, to our dismay the place was fully packed! So it took us a while before we found a carpark spot.. He took me to a Western Food restaurant.. The food was just average to me( "special sizzling chicken" for myself and "BBQ sizzling chicken" for him) but the view was breath-taking and I will never forget my experience of celebrating Christmas in this special place. Thanks a lot kor for the great company, dinner and not to forget the Zara Shirt you got me for Christmas.. The only thing I can say here is that I truly appreciate the care and guidance you have given to me and I hope to treat you back someday when I start to work or when I am able to. :-).. Anyway, below are some of the pictures I managed to take during my stay there...

The restaurant

Hahaha... whoelse other than my kor..

I look tired in this picture.. Actually I was very sleepy that night as I had a vigorous workout at the gym during the day..

For the finale.. The view of KL city... Priceless!

Happy 20th Birthday Alicia

I would like to take this opportunity to wish this friend of mine a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. Alicia Ng/Ling. Also known as the FFK queen or to put it in lay man's terms, " A person who doesn't turn up for most of the outings".. It has been 2 1/2 years by now since we first met and became friends.. and despite being the annoying FFK queen she was and the FFK queen she will always be.. She was also the one whom I told my personal stuffs to when I was in college.. She was a good listener and most of the time she gave good advises.. Anyway, put the "not turning up for outings" aside... all in all it was a great experience knowing you.. Friends forever... Ahemzz..

Back to the main topic.. I was invited to celebrate her birthday @ Italiannies, The Curve on the 22nd of December which was her birthday as well.. Then we proceeded to Laundry for a casual drink.. It was a great night and I am glad she enjoyed it..!

Specially dedicated to you by DominicVick~

Movie Premiere of "Australia"

18/12/2008 ~ Went to Pavillion to watch the movie premiere (or should I call it a sneak preview??) of "Australia" starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Nicole Kidman was raised in Australia whilst Hugh Jackman was an Australian. Oh yeah, I would like to thank Brandon Marshmallow XD for being so generous to invite me and my hammy to watch the premiere. The combination of that little boy and my dear to watch the movie has made it such a great experience filled with laughther and joy. I first got to know him when I taught him in form 1. He is no longer a small boy now..He was teaching me the best way to drink a glass of wine. Hahhaaha.. You cannot help but to admit that you are getting older eventhough how much you don't want to acknowledge it. All in all the movie was great. If I were to rate the movie I will give it a 7 out of 10. I read reviews on Nicole's bad acting in this movie but she wasn't that bad at all in this movie. In fact, she did quite a good job playing the role as an English Woman. In addition to that, the movie which was directed by Baz Lurhmann did bring out the true essence of Australia as one will be able to experience the wilderness and the extreme environment of the continent which is isolated far away at the Southern Hemisphere.

The movie also described how the aborigines were suppressed and mistreated by the "European Immigrants" . Something that I have heard before in my Environmental Science class last semester with Dr Cathy Yule and she was an Australian-Caucasian herself. The ending was a very touching one where it stated that Australia is the homeland of the aborigines and the European settlers..I really enjoyed the movie although I was terribly hungry during the movie as I didn't have my dinner before the movie as I was rushing to Pavillion and thank god I reached there right on time!!! Below are some of the pictures I managed to take.... Enjoy~!!!
