Dubai airport is a freaking alien mother ship, man... 

The belly of the mother ship is a shopping mall, in order to make humans forget time... 

They try to create an earth-like habitat on the mother ship, but I ain't getting fooled... 

Another alien device 

Ah, the mines of smoky pleasures... 

Starbucks Coffee, it's like you've never left home at all! 

Vienna Airport. Even the airport looked cultured. 

It's the Vienna Mozart festival! 

Outside the Vienna Airport 

It's chasing us! It's chasing us! 

Sea of red flowers~! 

Like a WinXP wallpaper, only better :) 

A flock of wind-powered generators! 

Peeping from behind the trees... 

Argh! It's those darn generators again! 

Tree-dotted pastures... 

Relaxing farms... 

Threatening rain clouds. 

Get ready for a power-charged storm... 

Once you enter Czech, this marvellous view awaits! 

Struggling captive! 

Leisure captive :) 

Our performing venue for the choir marathon on the next day / a Billa supermarket 

Olomouc, Czech Republic. I'm finally here! 

From Vienna with love!

Hi ya all! I'm currently in an Internet cafe in Vienna, Austria! My choral competition here has been a tremendous success. We scored 100 marks for both the categories we're in! Well, my Internet time is ending soon. Shall write more when I get home. As always, there will be pictures galore!!!

Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight if I don't get to see you in Salzburg, Munich, Dubai or Colombo! :P

The end of an era

I returned to Malaysia this weekend, but for the first time, I'm not home for the holidays. My maternal grandma passed away, and I went home for her funeral. I remember her as a loving mother and grandmother, who always wear a gentle smile. She's a toughie too, surviving all those years after my grandpa passed away. The next Chinese New Year will be very different, when I go home and won't be able to see her again. She didn't even get to see my dear in person. I guess my only consolation is that she knew that I already have a girlfriend.

When we walked behind the van that carried grandma's coffin, me and my mom held hands. She said, "It's been a long time since we last held hands." And I couldn't help but feeling sorry inside. Sorry for not being there for her all the time. Sorry for giving her hell when I was a teenager. Sorry that I am going to leave her and start my own family.

With my grandma gone, all my grandparents are no longer around. This marks the end of an era, the end of a generation. With the birth of my eldest sis' second son, it marks the beginning of a new generation. One cannot help but marvel at God's work in advancing the human race with such simplicity and clockwork.

After the funeral, I stayed for an extra day before I went back to Singapore. While at KL train central, I glanced up and saw a peculiar sight. Curious. Somebody was obviously not thinking in 3D.


Lee Young Ae would've been proud :P
