Tony Melendez ~ The man who play guitar with his feet

Well, if you are in some despair stage.. Let me introduce to you another miracles example in life.

When I first heard about the man who played guitar with his feet. I got it gotta be kidding or perhaps some simple chords that was rehearse a thousand time with some simple nursery rhythme.. But I was i awe when I see Tony Melendez played that chord with his feet.. How does he do that? Our friend is a Nicaragua American lah. 

This is really something dude. How does he do it? That kind of persistent that run through his blood.. Well, no more yoga for malaysian muslims... beat the government with this new style of playing guitar perhaps.. 

Nada es imposible 

TOny doing his pieces of "LET IT BE" while singing and strumming and chording with his feet.

Half way thru genting Sempah

* The sun was fierce in the afternoon and my ride started at 4.30 just now. I knew I could noT cover my route from home to Genting Kaki bukit and savour McD. So I told myself to cycle until 5.40 and then heading home lah as today is Mr. Chae birthday party ler..

Well, there are about 14km more to reach Genting Sempah McD.. but perhaps next week or so lah. Well, the rain start to pour when I was about to detour back...cat and dog and silky wet..It was a draggy ride at first but only at km10 onwards did I find the kickstart..life is like that lah sometime when your engine getting old...:p

OK..Ciao..need to shower and leave..

Simple cycling GPS data log

This is a simple cycling route i took around my house - air panas - setapak - house. So it's an easy plot..

It's Friday.. Party time.. we like the move it move it...

GPS data logging with Google earth..cool..

The magenta line with lotsa waypoint.. this is part of the journey where I left Tanah Merah to Penang.. The recording was about two hours before the pda battery juice out. 
* This is my route with omission of waypoint ler.. those are one hellavu of mountain travel. 
* This is where I start to log from Tanah Merah.. I set my waypoint to log every 100 metres.. There if u enlarge it.. you could see how many seconds i travel for 100 metres from each point. You could also set your waypoint in how many seconds which you could see the chain of how fast you stretch from point to point.. 
* This is my routine going back home from office ler.. The upper vertical stretch is Jalan Jelatek and The long horizontal to the right is Jalan Ampang..
* This is where you see I record every 100 metres range as waypoint.. therefore the turning in to right from the traffic light is not recorded unless i record it in second or 50 metres or less.. If you observe the time from the point from executing the last traffic light waypoint. I am definitely stuck in the traffic light as the next point show more than 2 minutes or more. There you have the Great Eastern Mall from the birdview. 

The next thing to try now is to Geo tagging with the photos I take with my camera lah.. Then it is cool to know where quite exactly the photos were taken during the holiday. Let me try some during my next holiday..and wonder when is it lah..ahahha

Chinese New Year Holiday trip

Hmm.. we were having dinner..and thanks to Mr. Lim for the dinner ler..ahaha.. somemore got one rolls of cash to show off :p... ahaha.. mentah mentah 9 wong yeh blessing lah..

So the story goes was Teresa suggested that this time we drive to Hatyai and drive to Krabi.. Yea..that is a perfect idea for me. It was after all 3 - 4 hours journey to Krabi. I love that idea and touring on a different road in the neighbouring country is a new adventure lah. However Mr. Lim seems to be skeptic about the idea. So the the next people to convince is Mr. Kelvin and his cohorts lah which I think the chances is pretty deem.. Mentah2 dia sekarang sudah pakai BMW. Takut kena rompak half way.

I can't seems to understand the mediocrity of malaysians ler. Takut ini dan itu lah.. konon wanna show adventure.. Horseshit lor...

Always it is a journey to remember. Sometime going with the wrong which oppose to the idea is rather destructive. So it is rather to make sure the ppl are comfortable with the journey ler.

Well, just like Laos trips that cut through lotsa mountains and hours and hours of journey. You gotta learn to love the journey and experience it and it will be a sweet memories in your mind.

I preferred such routes and it give a deeper understanding about a journey and open up your capacity to get to know the world more. Just to bad ler most of the gang of the group are just LMF..ahaha..

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness. ~Ray Bradbury

* Me in my "Brabus" heading back to town.
* I was at the end of a junction and snap a typical Kelantan house for u2c. 
* Run out of $$ to paint. 
* Long long time ago.. I think I did sat in the bakul of the bike before..I still can recall and it was fun.
* Toyota..the trusted brand since... you can check it out here in Kelantan. 
* Helmets are not selling well here.

* The best part about being a anak Kelantan.. your head is insured by God!! 
* typical coffeeshop lah..lotsa ppl lepak in da afternoon also...

I was in for 3 days training for customer Kota Bahru. Of course being a Islamic state.. there is no frill entertainment lah.. and guess what... no cinema too!! Damn..I was lucky to watch Madagascar when I reached Penang two days ago. 

So our second day training ends early and I was release early lah.. Except for K B mall which quite resemblence to typical Jaya Jusco.. nothing much to hop around.. I havent been to the Tesco actually. So I decided to go to the beach which is about 10km away from old town. It's called Pantai Cahaya Bulan. Not a bad place to get some sea breeze lah. 

Hmm.. But I love Penang food more!! Hehe.. Had dinner at Gu Kan Tang with client just now before heading back to KL.. When I arrived two days ago.. wanna go Lorong Selamat for the Keow teow one.. tak buka lah..alahai..apalah nasib.. but have no fear.. lotsa good food to savour in Penang one. Well, I stayed in Heritage hotel again for two days. 

Well, I think I could cover about 30% of the town areas street quite well ler. Went for blind man massage when I arrived the next day. It was a 5 hours drive from Kelantan and two hours driving in rain and mist.. Crack my eyeballs like hell man.. Its seem the the Good Year Ducaro GA tyre could take lotsa grip as well...not bad for a stock tyres from Proton actually. 

Hmmm.. the blind man who massage me used to work in KL before. He got lotsa frens in Genting Klang and Ampang area too. Had a son which is 5 years old and his wife is not really well and diagnose with epilepsy. So it was a tough battle for him to fight as both him and the wife is not physical healthy lah. It really sadden me ler.. we just need to remind ourselves again to be grateful of not physically impair ler. 

Business in these blind man massage works in rotational basis and he told me I am the first customer for the day. Well, whatever it is, we must in our capacity and beyond to assist those who needed our assistance with the power and strength that is given to us. Do what you can and happy to help those in the needy. 

Again.. I got some reading to do now.. CIAO
