Tioman Trip - Day 3

Monday, 7a.m.
I didn't sleep through soundly. Didn't join the gang for breakfast because of the condition of my stomach. =p Oh well, nothing much today. Just wanted to end our Day 3. We checked out the chalet by 9a.m. and took the speedboat at 10a.m. We realized we didn't even take a picture of all of us for the 3 days. So we could only managed to take it at the jetty. The bus left at 12:30 p.m. but the damn bus driver kept stopping for pee break. At least 6-7 times! Shameer got pissed and said : 'Fuck his bladder la!' . Hahahaha! That was a good one.

Tioman Trip - Day 2

Logging in through : DELL PC

Sunday, 10a.m.
10 hours sleep was more than enough for me, Jana, Ruben, Ong, Amir and Naz. Eugene and Shameer didn't want to join us for breakfast. Having fun in their slumber land. Well, the 6 of us went out of the Berjaya Resort to find some cheap food outside. There were 2 stalls right outside Berjaya. The one on the right had no more nasi lemak and the one on the left had only noodles. Noodles for breakfast..Nahh.. So we took a van and paid the guy RM20 to bring us to a place where we could eat breakfast. He brought us to some Chinese Kopitiam stall where we got our 'American Breakfast' for RM15. After eating, we went to the Duty-Free shop.

Tioman River?

Sunday, 12p.m.
We got back to our chalet and had a quick bath and got ready for snorkeling. (actually more like waiting for Eugene and Shameer to wake up) Those buggers were still sleeping like pigs. Naz had gone out all alone to relax in the beach probably with some bitches.
Shameer didn't want to follow as his leg was still sprained. So off we went to some place(forgot the place) for snorkeling. We were not allowed to bring our cameras so we missed the chance to take pictures of the corals and the fishes.

Sunday, 3p.m.
The speedboat arrived and brought us to the snorkeling platform. When we got down into the sea, WOW! We could see so many fish and corals. What a view! Ruben-the-captain was so 'semangat' and wanted to go around the island nearby the platform. So, we followed. After 5 mins of swimming through the waves, we got to like 40% of our journey. We thought we were heroes as we took only such a short time to arrive such a distance. After that, we were quite deep in the sea and started to worry. We decided to swim back to the platform before it gets more dangerous. But after swimming for like 20 minutes, we only swam like a 100m???!!! We then realized that all the while we were swimming with the current's help. Now we're going against the current. Amir started to panic and I was dead exhausted. We tried to blow our whistle and shouted for the nearest boat to send us back to the platform. Thank God the boat guy saw us and helped us. We could probably ended up somewhere if the current was stronger.

Sunday, 5p.m.
We ate lunch. Yeah, burger again. Sat by the poolside and decided to swim in the pool 1 hour later. No signs of yesterday's chick. Ong showed more of his swimming styles to the people nearby. He did his 'hip-hop' in the water and all. Haha! After swimming, we played Chor-Tai-Ti while enjoying the breathtaking sunset. More of Chor-Tai-Ti in the room later.

Sunday, 8p.m.

We went for dinner in some Seafood Restaurant. I regretted for not washing my hands while eating the Sweet and sour Crab. After dinner, back to playing in the games room with more of ping pong,pool,darts and daytona. Eugene and Ruben tried to 'kao' some old woman while playing ping pong. Got back to our chalet by 12a.m.

Eugene and Ruben 'kao' lui

Monday, 12a.m.
Went to bed. Had sleepless night as my stomach was aching badly. Probably due to unhygienic eating habits. Oh welll.....End of Day Two. Last day tomorrow!

Tioman Trip - Day 1

Logging in through : DELL PC

Friday, 9p.m.
Everyone agreed to meet at my house. Ruben and Shameer were heading towards PuduRaya themselves. So, in total there were all 8 of us. Ruben, Shameer, Jie Yao, Teng Siang, Jana, Shazmir, Nazmi, and Eugene. Yeah yeah. Gay trip. Whatever. Thanks to Eugene's dad for sending us to the bus station.

Friday, 11p.m.
It started to rain heavily. We boarded the bus and wow, 6 hours of journey. I had trouble sleeping in the bus. Most of them had managed to sleep. The bus driver was handling the bus insanely. Damn FAST! So instead of the expected arrival at Mersing at about 6.am., we got there at 4a.m! Bought our ferry tickets and decided to take breakfast at a stall nearby.

Listening to iPod in bus

Naz Zzzzzz

Ong waiting in Mersing



Saturday, 7.am.
All of us watched the beautiful scenery as the sun rises. We managed to play 5 minutes of football before leaving with the ferry to Tioman at 7:30a.m. They played Flight Plan in the ferry. Most of us didn't even bother to watch it. We felt nauseous and sea-sick as the ferry was bumping through the waves.

This pic looks cool

Sunrise


Saturday, 9:30a.m.
We arrived at the jetty in Tioman. We took a van to the Berjaya Resort's lobby to check in. The resort has a 4-star rating and we're getting in FOC thanks to Ruben's dad. Owe him one big time. The receptionist said we could only check-in at 11:30a.m. While waiting, we went for our 'welcome drink'.

Saturday, 12p.m.
We checked-in to our rooms and took a shower. Felt really much better and awaken after the bath. We went for lunch at the Matahari restaurant by the swimming pool. For RM 10, we got a real big Beef burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. Haha. Sounds exaggerated. Well, it was real hot in the afternoon so we went to the Games Room and ended up spending quite some time there playing ping pong, pool, Daytona and darts. It was real funny when they played ping pong with all their different styles.

Saturday, 5p.m.
We headed back to our rooms and got changed for football and for swimming later. We played football for only 10 minutes because cannot TAHAN the hot sand. It was burning our feet. So, we just got into the sea and played a little there. That one was also for a short while. So many rocks! Ended up swimming in the pool. While I was changing in the washroom, I was wandering why there were 2 people playing the guitar in there. Oh, they were actually part in a band. Not long after, they were entertaining everyone by the pool side and the crowd were cheering them. Eugene and Amir stalked some hot chick and went all the way to the kid's pool to find her. After swimming, we just laid back on the seats and enjoy the sunset. It was really relaxing. We got back to our rooms by 7p.m. and showered.

5 of us

Saturday, 8p.m.
It was dinner time. We headed back to the same restaurant as it was raining. After dinner, it was back to the games room when we saw a big crowd at the ping pong table. They were playing 'King' and it was really funny watching those adults playing. They were screaming and laughing. Eugene and I joined in and soon the gang too. There was also this mat-salleh dude who looked like a noob but was really good in ping-pong.

Sunday, 12a.m.
It was time for bed. We were really exhausted and decided to go to sleep. Played some Chor-tai-ti before our slumberland. Zzzzzz. End of Day 1. Will post more pics when I get it from Ruben.

Tioman Trip Preparation

Hooray! We'll be in Tioman really soon. Those guys planned to bring PS2 there as well. :P Have to start packing already!

Adidas Teamgeist

Danial PRO Guitarist

Logging in through : DELL PC

Strictly for guitarist!
Today, after my business discussion, I went to danial's grandpa's house and met Danial. He brought his DEAN guitar and wanted to try it at my house.

Danial with his Dean guitar.

Dean guitars are very rare in Malaysia. In fact, this is my first time seeing a Dean guitar live myself. It's not sold in Malaysia. Danial bought his guitar online. Info on Dean guitars can be found here. www.deanguitars.com

Danial the owner. Blur pics. sorry!

Danial really made me open my eyes towards guitaring. There were actually hell more things to learn and Danial showed me some. Now I really know how those Metallica can perform those crazy solo songs. The art of it is the sweep picking technique. This is really an advanced technique and requires a lot of practice. Danial has almost mastered the technique and you could really see the result of it. Too bad he wouldn't let me record any of his skill as he was shy...Haha. Now he could play lots of fast solos. And most importantly, itz CLEAR. Most people I know off who attempted MOP "can" play it but itz really blurry and can't guess whether the guitarist has hit the right notes or not. But holy hell, Danial rocks. When i asked him whether he performed or not, he said he just performed this year in march in some competition and his band got 4th place.
He then explained more techniques to me, like pinch harmonic, tapping and double tapping, and etc etc. But the technique I was really interested in was the Sweep picking. More info bout it can be found here.

The lesson of sweep picking.

Oh man, can't wait to learn this! Hmmmm, to those of you who are not guitarist, sorry yeah for not posting up an interesting post! =p.
Really sleepy after my exams today. And well! My Tioman's trip is tomorrow night! We will be leaving at night at 11:30p.m.! Night trip! How cool is that?! HAHA! Will update the blog on my trip too. Do keep reading! Try some sweep picking before I sleep. Nites!

Yet Another 'Gathering'

Logging in through: Apple Macbook
Time: 11:26p.m.
18 July 2007

My morning slumberland was disturbed when Christine called at 9:30a.m. asking whether if she could hitch a ride if she was going for a 'gathering' thingy at night.

holy crap...i thought of waking up a little earlier. Thank God Chris called. I still have another 3 chapters to study before my exam starts in the afternoon.

Oh well, was late then for the exam. Took it with Desmond, Alex and Sze Mun. Haha, felt so sorry for Sean. Couldn't help him as he was quite unprepared for it. After exam, chit-chatted a little with Sze Mun before ciaoing off.

7p.m. Followed Isaac to Mid Valley for yet another "gathering". This gathering is almost like a twice a week routine already. The people who turned up were Stephanie, Ramizah, Aruna, Harvin, Pik Yin, Priya, Siew Yee, Eugene, Ruben, Shawn, me, Amir, Isaac, Visvesh, Kabilan, Permesh and Jana(ex-schoolmates).

We guys planned to budget our dinner as we were preparing for our Tioman trip. Ah! Food Court is the best choice. With only RM 7, you can get those fried rice or some ikan-bakar. But those "high-class girls" wanted something with a better environment and suggested Chili's. 'Ham-chat' la.. Only Isaac could afford to treat us with his platinum credit card. The guys wanted something cheaper and simple. So we went to Secret Recipe. Outside, we asked the waitress to get us 15 seats.

While the waitress went in to prepare our dinner, Ruben dared Eugene to go in MPH and ask the receptionist where he could find the 'kama-sutra' book. Eugene thought it was a crazy idea but Shawn took up the challenge for RM2! RM freakin 2! So he went in and asked. I managed to snap a photo, but something went wrong with my memory card. Urghh. Everyone followed in to see the funny act and after that, we decided to eat in Kenny Rogers, abandoning the poor waitress at Secret Recipe. ...oh well, haha!

At Kenny Rogers, we tried out mixing food and the result was a Blackpepper Coleslaw mixed with Chicken. Too bad my camera didn't work. Chatted about recent life in college. Next was pool at 'BrewBall', Amir was totaly OWNING at that night reaching a 100% record of straight wins. HOLY. Played there for 1 hour before leaving.

Shawn, Ruben, Eugene, Ra and Steph posing =p

Everytime Kabilan gives that look, means there's a chick over there.

Eugene and Ruben going hyper.

And Vish praying that Anusha wouldn't come. Haha

*Credits to Ra for the pictures*

11p.m. Left Mid Valley with Isaac. Ruben stayed back and went to California Fitness and do some 'workout'. I guess Ruben has really turned from a chubby guy and now a muscular macho. Hahaha. Oh well, I'll grab the photos of the night and post it up soon. Damn memory card..

Signing off now! Gonna play some CM b4 sleeping. Real Madrid won the La Liga! Adioz!

Slash'es and Lespauls'

For those of you wondering what is a Slash, it's actually more of who is Slash.
Slash(Saul Hudson) is a guitarist and was a former lead guitarist for Guns n Roses. He currently plays for Velvet Revolver.


Lespauls are the guitars by Gibson used by Slash.


LOL. sorry, just an addict of Slash and GnR. To give you a brief description of my blog title.

My name is Jie Yao and I just made up this blog and it's a real simple one. Hope you guys will have fun and enjoy reading it. Can't really post up something interesting now as I have my Marketing exams pretty soon. Gotta study now and will update it tomorrow. That's it for now! Wish me LUCK!! Tata!
