Opposing captains Roy Keane (left) and Patrick Viera (right) battling each other for the ball. Both of them are gone from Manchester United and Arsenal now...will both teams fair well without their most influential captains and best midfielders in the world?
As a Manchester United fan, I was sad to hear the news that Roy Keane left the team for good on a 'mutual consent'. When Beckham was sold, I didn't feel as bad, but him...it was such a big waste.
12 years at the club, Keane was given many types of comments and names. You can either love him or hate him. This is my tribute to him. He will be missed.
What next? Liverpool losing Steven Gerrard and Chelsea selling Frank Lampard?

Houses by the sea...Playa del Carmen
Ahh...don't you wish that someday you'll own one beach front property? In LA, houses by Manhattan or Venice Beach range from 1.5 mil to as high as 5 mil. I don't think I can afford that! I might be better off by marrying an old rich widow that already owns a mansion by the sea from her late husband. The thought of staying in that house would be nice...but the thought of sharing the same bed with her....hahah...ewww...you guys get the idea.

Girl Horizon
Wednesday morning and I'm alone n office. Everyone is either away for trips or vacation. Therefore, I taking this time to play around with photoshop and learning how to be more creative with putting borders into my pictures. Yes! I know I should be working...oh well...just being lazy at the moment. Not much for me to do anyways...
I like this picture particularly...again..taken in Xcaret. I know what most people will say..,"You just like her ass! Come on!". Hahahaha....sadly that's not true. I mean she does have nice ass...but guys...I've taken much nicer pictures of asses than this one. For some reason, and I cannot explain...I really like this picture. Probably I ain't a good writer...that's why I can't explain what I feel for this picture. (Engineers don't talk crap...we go by facts!)
Anyway, a few more pictures at the bottom with the same border...enjoy...
P.S. If you look closely, there are two holes on her bikini bottom...lol!
Lizard again!
The ever popular lizard. This fellow is different from the one below. A lot smaller too! Might be a good pic to show everyone...
little-girl
This picture was taken during my boat ride back from Cozumel back to Playa del Carmen. This is not the original size though...I cropped a bit. To be honest, I prefer taking pictures of kids and old people than middle aged people. Somehow, I can kinda feel middle aged adults might feel threatened if I take a snap shot of them. Well...I just don't wanna let them feel that I'm stalking them or what...which I don't! Has anyone taken a candid shot of you before? How did you feel? I would feel a little uncomfortable.
Lucky charm?
Hey...what do you know? I was told by Mexicans that if twins give a person kisses (no matter where...), it's a good luck sign.
That was two months ago the night before I left Mexico. Come to think of it...I haven't been very lucky. On a few occasions, I was fortunate...but really lucky? Naaa...I can't even win the weekly free gas from my gym. Been putting my lucky draw entries everyday since the day I got back. Also, two days ago I got my second speeding ticket in less than 6 months.
Poo, I'm beginning to suspect that the radar detector you gave me, is a piece of junk! Chippo Faros!
So....you tell me, have I been lucky?

Sepia
I was playing around with Photoshop and I edited this picture. It was taken in Mexico. I added border around the picture and changed it to sepia, tell me what you think....

Sunrise?? Hurricane terror...
I took this picture on my second night in Cancun. I was taking a walk by myself in front of my hotel and decided to capture the moon. Well...it didn't turn out as anticipated...it was not a sunrise...but looks more like it, huh? Bare in mind, I took this at night time. I over exposed the camera too long...=( ... I'm still learning...Anyway, it turned out pretty cool....so I decided to post this picture.
Many of you might know, three countries are or will be hit by hurricane Wilma...Cuba, Mexico and USA. The only place in Mexico that will be hit by this category 4 Wilma is Yucatán area...where Cancun, Cozumel and Xcaret are situated at. I just read the news this morning, that Wilma just landed on the beaches of Cancun this morning. Many locals and tourists in Cancun should be now hiding in the tornado shelter or using hotel ballrooms shelters. Can you imagine, that someone that is expecting to have a good holiday and be treated like a King/Queen in a luxurious hotel...now have to hide in a shelter with hundreds of others, with possibility of not having enough food and water supply? SUCKS!
Anyway, let's hope for the best for the people there and pray for them...

Boo!
Bad ass warrior huh? Mayan costume...this guy was just posing there and was preparing for a cultural show next.
More of Xcaret...
Hmmm...I'm trying to upload these pictures using blogger instead of my usual flickr. I just wanna put a few pictures in one post, instead of one picture for every post using flickr. Hope this will turn out good.
Anyway, a few more pictures of Xcaret when I was in Cancun. Hope you guys are not bored of it yet. You know...it's been more than a month since I left Cancun. Everday, I'll be dreaming of going back there again someday...warm weather, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
To all my friends, Kerry, Lin Zhuang, Sachin and Chin Hooi, thanks for your comments about my pictures. I'm just learning to take better and better pictures everyday...

Cancun Xcaret
When I was in Cancun, I went to Xcaret. Like I mentioned in my previous post...it was an awesome place. I caught this guy sun bathing somewhere in the bush....hmmm...he's not doing something 'productive' in the bush, huh? Anyway, I decided to take a snap shot of him posing.
Guys...I know it's been soooo long but more photos of Cancun will come. Bare with me please...been really busy and lazy lately!

El Calvario
Carina...here's your request. I'm sure this is the little church on top of the hill that you were referring to in Metepec. I found out the name of the church is "El Calvario"...The Calvary. Here's a photo that I took when I went there.

Cancun
Yes ladies and gentleman..this is Cancun. That was my last location in Mexico the weekend before I left.
I sorry that I posted this so late. After I get back into US...I got all lazy...busy with work...etc etc. So, might as well just get it done with it.
NO! I didn't go with other people...NO! I didn't hook up with some chicks...I was all by myself in Cancun...just in case you guys are wondering.
Anyway, I've never been to such beautiful place in my life. Unlike Pulau Redang, where you can only go scuba diving/snorkling, relax by the beach and sleep...Cancun is a lot more than that. With tons of world class hotels...countless restaurants...amazing nightlife...and of course expensive. You'll see many tourists from all around the world. Chicks? Don't even need to ask about that...they were excellent!
On the first day, I arrived there in the evening. I couldn't do anything else except for bar hopping...yes...ALONE. I jsut wanted to see Cancun's nightlife. Believe me, if you have a bunch of crazy asses with you...you'll get tons of fun.
Second day, I took an hour bus ride to Playa del Carmen. From there, I took a 40 mins ferry ride across to Cozumel Island. There, they have the second longest reef in the world after Australia. I wanted to go snorkle...but I did it many times before. So, I thought maybe I should go a little further. Took a crash course in scuba diving and I went right in. My first scuba diving was fun...really.
On the third day, I took another bus ride to a nearby park, it's called Xcaret. Not exactly near, it was about 1.5 hour away. Anyway, that place was beautiful. I just spent the whole day there. I swam the natural underwater river, visited Mayan ruins and watched performances.
On my last day, I didn't do much. My first three days there, I did not actually sit by the beach and chill. So, I decided to do that a few hours before I went to the airport. The picture you see, I took it as I was walking along the beach. Just beeeeeeeeeeeeautiful!!

Guadalajara
Last weekend I was at Guadalajara to visit my cousin, and had to go to the US Embassy there. Many of you might know that Guadalajara is not only known as the gay capital of Mexico, but it is also well known for having abundant amount of girls. Yes, pretty girls. To some of you, I have been complaining about the girls here in Atalcomulco...that they all look...like...like...men? For once in Mexico, I actually saw some girls that looked like actresses.
Girls were the most interesting thing to me in Guadalajara because I did not go anywhere else besides eat, movie and mall with my cousin. My cousin doesn't like to go out that much, so after work he'll head back home and log in to the realm of World of Warcraft....even on Friday and Saturday night! So there you go...most of the time in Guadalajara, I did nothing but stayed at home and watch TV. So.....no pictures this week!
Friday after work, I started driving to Guadalajara. As usual, everyone on the road was speeding...so I HAD to follow. As I was close to Morelia, about after 2 hours of driving...lucky me...I was stopped by a Federal Police. I pulled my car over...as the police was walking towards my car...
Police, "Buenas tardes..." (Good Afternoon)
Before he was able to finish the whole sentence, I said ,"Mi no habla español." (I don't speak spanish). In my mind I was thinking, noooooo problem...I don't speak spanish and he doesn't speak english...no communication...therefore he'll let me go.
Then, Police, "Oh...you speak english?"
Damn! What do you expect me to say? All foreigners should be able to speak english in Mexico...common sense! Maybe I should say "Babi! Aku tak faham langsung!?!?"....So, being nice and a responsible citizen of Malaysia, I said "YES".
Police, "Good. You drive fast. You drive One Four Four Km/hr....eh...here...maximum...one hundred and ten km/hr. Can I see license and registration?"
So yeah...he ended up giving me a ticket and took my number plate away. Yes...they take your number plate! To make sure you actually go to the police station to pay up your fine. Unlike other police here in Mexico, Federal Police don't take bribes.
That was my last weekend, didn't do anything in a lively city and my encounter with a police that spoke english!

Palacio de Gabierno
Last Sunday, I was at Morelia...a beautiful colonial city. The picture you see, was at Palacio de Gabierno. I was told that was where Mexicans drafted the declarations of independance to the Spanish. Paintings on the wall shows important figures and tells stories...yeah...like I know what story and which Ah Seng or Ah Beng were the important people for Mexico. Very nice place and was a perfect day for me to take pictures!

Jump!
I think there are 9 Charro activities and the the picture you are looking is the last one. You can see this kid was trying to jump over to the horse right beside him. The other three amigos behind were trying to keep the horses running. This was the first attempt, he didn't manage to do it. He did it on the second attempt, but I couldn't get a real good picture on that. I think this picture is pretty nice.
IMG_1949
Last Saturday, I went to a 'charreria'...hope I got the name right. It was an event/competition between teams of Charros (Cowboys if you wanna put it that way). The picture I took is a typical look of a Charro. Well...according to my friend, many mexican girls like guys that do charro activities. Charro, beer and tequilas...perfect combination of a macho Mexican!!!! I wonder if the Mexican city girls would think that way. Would they admire a Charro riding his horse? Or a guy with a nice car with more horse power (and money)?

What?!
This is a a view out from my window on a nice day. As you can see...nice mountain and little structures you see in front of it...it's a grave yard. Hey, it's not that bad, pretty nice...for those of you from Penang...compare this with Padang Tembak graveyard ok?
I was talking to someone here...and I jsut found out...that mountain is not a mountain...it's a VOLCANO. Don't worry...not active and it is hibernating now...someday it'll be awake...hehe...
