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
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!!
