Just ladies being ladies...you know? yak and yak and yak....Lol. Just a random photo.Took this in Spain in a desert shop? See the 3 cups in the photo? Those are not coffee, they are mealted chocolate. I don't know what to call it...I'll just call it bread stick? You're suppose to dip it in a cup of chocolate and eat it.

I'll try to post more photos from Spain if I have the time.

New Year

To all of you folks out there, just wanna wish you...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Don't even ask me what I did on my Chinese New Year....nothing interesting and no stories to tell unfortunately. The rest of you, have loads of fun and be careful where ever you are.

Bend It Like Beckham!

Bend It Like Beckham!, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Hey...try to bend your legs like them. Just look at theirs left legs, how the heck can you point it up that way?! Oh well..only statues right? Why am I complaining...

Took this shot in Bangkok at another temple. Gosh...you know, I did try my best to remember the names of the places I went to...but how the hell do you expect me to remember something in Thai?! I think the name of this temple is Temple of Vanajguhlanvijkalpul. Naaa...I was just kidding, I really can't remember.

Anyway, this temple was built like 300 hundref years ago? Maybe 400? I don't know. Built by a king of Thailand...a CHINESE king of Thailand. I really didn't know there was a chinese king in Thailand before...damn. You'll see a lot of chinese influences around this temple. Will try to show..

I took this picture when I was in Chiang Mai. Yes inded I took tons of pictures during my 5 days in Thailand, but I could only find this one nice enough to blog.

We were at this temple steps and we saw a few of this little kids dressing like this. They were saying something in Thai which of course I didn't understand at all. So, our tour guide was telling us that they were asking us to take their photo. So I did, took a couple including this shot. Well it turned out that nothing is free...lol, if you know what I mean.

Chiang Mai is located nothern part of Thailand. I was told that a lot of things there have Tibetian influence. If I'm not mistaken, some Tibetians migrated to Chiang Mai or something like that. So, that's why you get to see kids dressing up like this...not in general of course.

Another year

Wassup people?! I know it's been a while since I posted something here..but hey, I'll just try my best. I can't keep up with all my interests! You know what is taking most of my time now besides work? World of Warcraft...man that thing is so addictive.

Well...my last trip back home in December was an excellent one. Just that I didn't spend enough time in Penang. Took a trip to Chiang Mai and Bangkok with my family, as usual I took whole bunch of pictures. I still need to find the time to edit a few good pictures and put it up here to show all of you, but like I said World of Warcraft is taking most of the free time I have available! However, I do have a picture to show...as you can see right here. We were at this place selling handy craft stuff in Chiang Mai and I came across this shop, I really don't know what was the vender trying to sell...Pure Silver or Porn Silver? Lol...pretty KINKY bebeh!

Life here in Kansas is always exciting as usual! Naaa...just being sarcastic. Life is reallllllllll slow. I spent my birthday ALONE. Picture this, birthday on Saturday, no friends, no celebration, no presents...Just nothing. Oh I did something...World of Warcraft (pathetic!). This coming weekend will be Chinese New Year...hey no biggie...just spend the day ALONE with myself. Come to think of it, this is my 5th year away from home for Chinese New Year. Man this sucks. I wanna go home.

I don't freaking know what's wrong with Flooble Chatterbox on the left side. It's like when there's no one to write anything for a certain amount of time...they'll freeze your account or something? That's why you can't see all the past comments anymore. Damn...maybe it's time to change to another one.

I'll will try to find time to edit more pictures and post it up here....when I get my character to level 60! Just kidding. This is my first post of the year...lol

You can tell I'm really bored at work. I just wish that I could chill on this beach instead of sitting on my desk here and do nothing!

Bored!!

Well...it's about time for me to write something again. Sorry guys...no pictures this time. Maybe next time. Here, on a Sunday afternoon I'm sitting in my office writing this post. It's already end of the year and honestly I can say, I am and will be quite free. I have to make up a few days since I'll be going home for Christmas.

It's been a week since she left. My life has been boring and dull. Nothing to look forward anymore...not even weekends. How am I gonna survive here in this tiny little town of Iola, Kansas? Where there's no mall...no Bestbuy...no parks...nothing! Only farms, cows and horses. At time, I think I'm the only asian here! Well...of course there are a few more...just that sometimes I feel alone that's all.

Having some sort of dilemma. I know I wanna get out of here...but I don't know when. There are a few places for me to go but I cannot pick which one. Here my situation...

Thinking of leaving this company around end of January or February. Will it be too soon?

I wanna move to California...but just don't know where. I have buddies in LA, yet I have good friends in San Jose. There are many more engineering jobs in electronic industry in San Jose than LA....but I think LA won't be as bad too.

Or should I just go home for good to be close to the person I love? Although it's pretty obvious I'll earn less there...but at least I can spend more time with her...I have friends and family at home too. I also know that there are many things waiting for me at home.

Maybe I can just ask my company to transfer me to Singapore to work. The bad thing is, no production in Singapore, only a distribution center. Not even sure there's an engineering job for me.

Everytime, it seems that every path that I picked...I'll come across another crossroad in life. Which path I take will determine my future. Wish life was that easy...don't you agree? I always thought that I could manage it after she left...apparently not. Whatever it is, God will provide...as always.

Captains

Captains

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

Houses by the sea, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

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.

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...

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...

Cancun night, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

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...
