Chasing Cars

PS Love this song and pls listen to this song carefully -simple lyric but very meaningful-dedicate to special someone...when we gonna end this???

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol


We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Yeh tomolo fasting liaoz... so before fasting starts i painted my room and changed the layout of my tv and computer console temporary before got money to build a cabinet..then thought of doing the night prayer(terawih-night prayer only during ramadhan) but change of plan as i pass Gino the zouk pass in town at ard 6 plus then going out after that with a friend - so i skip for the first night. i bought the zouk pass for 10 bucks thought of going with them -my tp peers but never leh.Gino is going tonight, sigh i guess you can meet up more girls there...recommend me some dude. Why i'm not going??Tomorrow is the first day of ramadhan remember. So be good boy for the whole month Zac! Will miss one month of my swimming! But its ok...Aiyah enough of my nonsense...Let's finish off the lombok story

Sarsak
Village

Sarsak is a community in Lombok that is very very poor until they live for what they have for the day. The houses i went is so ruin but have a weird design to it. But i guess the place we went is not a real sarsak house as the architect of the house is different to what we saw in the pamplet.Nevertheless is still an eye opening to see the so called "SARSAK HOUSE".

This old woman knock the rocks into pieces as to make into fossil and they work for 2 dollar per day. I even saw they carried a basket on their head.They are very strong woman.
The house is made from ratan which seem to be wear off and the roof top seems to be made by dried coconut leaf. According to the old woman we talked to(of coz we had our tour guide translate for us), went it rain,there's leakage and the whole place is flooded. She will stay one corner to seek protection.
These are the Sarsak's kids..According to my tour guide,they never get to school as they don't have money to do so. So they just sit and play around the whole day.
But to what i think this is just a show.Where they earn a living by being an 'actor'.I guess this is not true sarsak village.Cause like its location is far apart and the architecture of the house is different.
fakevsoriginal(pic got from the net)
This part is the memorable one...until i fall in love with it. And I can't believe it is one of the biggest waterfall in SEA.It is called Sedang gila waterfall(translate in english will be Still Mad waterfall). But to get there wasn't easy. We had to engage another guide to bring us in.
First was a bit smaller waterfall and i can't recalled its name.
Then we had to do 20 min of tracking to get there. At first i feel so uncertain as not sure whether my guide reliable but we pay him quite a lum sum so i expect should be ok and good.And good indeed really good. I think it is 7 th storey high waterfall.The water is so cold till you can feel it tighten your skin. And the wind keeps blowing you away.. WoW i wish i can live there forever!
When we got back we took a short cut from a tunnel where the waterfall flow in this tunnel.Inside was very dark and you feel bats fly pass you.
If i'm back there, i wanna go to its Sedang Gila waterfall..Its a must visit!

Lombok

hello hello ppl...been receiving a lot of complaint that i am so lazy to update my blogs...well ppl i try to update as much possible in the future ehem...hahah thought no one wanna read my blog...hahahh so touch....Thanks...well i plan to finish up all my story before making any plans to travel more...and also i need to work hard so more income to travel! Gambande kurasae!!!

ok let's start the ball rolling and end the Lombok story's




Lombok

Well once we reach to our hotel, we were wandering what we can do there. This time round , i didnt do much research on Lombok. Regardless we still have great memorable there indeed. We got there and look ard for shopping center. The place we stayed is far away from the shopping center. Hence we walk along the street to look around, there we found these guys who tounting us to buy their beads, bookmarks and etc.They even offer us to rent their bike at 'a low price'. Its a manual bike. Well i can ride it if its auto-bike.After a few consideration, we decided not to as I dont want to take chance - the consequences if the bike is spoilt, we have to pay quite a huge. Nah...but refusing was a very hard task.These guys are very good in selling their product. We just bought a few bookmarks just to please them.

Then we took a cab to the nearest shopping center. Its the only shopping center in Lombok. Out of sudden we realized that we can't live without shopping center when on a holiday. LOL. Hahhah. Well the shopping center seems not bad but the only thing they didnt have a cinema. Well we dont need that then but you live there??? wosh...i guess ppl there are very simple.

As per normal if you in a place where sell cheap food.. you tends to buy all in the menu...hahha but nolah i just bought

-tom yam soup
-sphagetti
-Hor Fun
-lemon chicken
-Wanton Noodle

and a lot more which i cant remember and of coz the staff there was suprised by our appetite...lapar dong(indonesian slang which mean hungry lah) and on top of that we bought some food from KFC and brought them back for supper. hehehe. the next time we are there we did the same thing and try other stuff on the menu and get to know the ladies stuff there hehhe as they remember us the last time we are there. They are sweet and simple girls. Aiyah talk about food make me hungry... shall continue have my supper...ehhehe

Bali & Lombok

Wah... its been very very long time that i update my blog! Stress ah 19 weeks of SIP/Mp but its coming to an end soon. After so much sadness' update of my blogs...i still having some thoughts again to my life...some soul searching and etc which contributes to my future....hmmmm...i think must go for another holiday...i did went for a holiday to KL but that was damn rushing and short but damn fun...wah so many BUT ah....can't help it my life is full of but ( posibblity). Oklah...leave the sadness i shall update you to another exciting adventure of mine in a foreign country. Still in Indonesia...Bali and Lombok!


Bali
Well this time rd i went to their water theme park...Althought it is expensive pricing@ US $16 if not mistaken...we had so much fun...conquring my fear...phobia of heights...trying not to be a spoiler...i go ahead with it..But it is damn thrill.I cannot be taunted..so ego i accept the offer of plunging down.Woooo...my balls went up to my throat when i saw the height. But thank god i'm alive and YEah i'm proud i took all the rides.....
See the far most left of the slides....That is alomost 90 degree plunge down....Damn fast and damn scary...but i took it twice...But in the end of the day....i really had fun...just damn nice to be there play!
Lombok
History of lombok...it is used to be said, it is said that it is twenty years back of what Bali was.Nothing much but you can have a quiet time together and enjoy the nice scenery of Lombok. Quite stress actually, not much shopping centre, in fact they have one shopping centre. We order a lot of food and there are stunned by how kiasu Singaporean ordered cheap food...LOL talking about me and friend...heheheh But the food there damn cheap.... until the counter girls recognised us when the second day we were there again. No cinema and no clubs...i think they are lay back ppl...But don be suprised, i really respect Lombok residence cause as early as fibe ranging from 5 years old till 60 years old (i guess) walking or jogging a long the streets that include youngsters. In a group, thery walked one end to another, which is quite a distance. Like the whole residence of Lombok are praticing it everyday. Wish i were like them but lazy...bed will be my companion thru out the dawn. hehehhe lazy siar.
Ohh yah why we were up so early??? Cause we tried the chepest way to Lombok that is by coach and then ferry.From BAli at 6.15 am, we had arranged for this company to pick us up. This company is realiable which brings you all over Indonesia..It is called Perama.It is for budget traveller.For s$20 u can get to lombok.But it wont be comfortable and long hour ride.About 8hrs to get to Lombok as they picked up ppl at Ubud before heading to the ferry terminal. 4 hrs ferry to lombok -you cant believe this.If you lucky you will get quite an open boat and view thing surround you.I managed to see a school of dolphins swimming ard and for a whale which i cant believe they exists here in Aisa, thought only in cold country wah such an experience.Then 1 hr ride to the place we heading-Semanggi. As per normal, you have ppl perster you to buy their things.Things like mineral water, food and etc and of coz they marked up the price.
Lomok had a very nice scenery....let's see the picture i took
ps..oh yah another advice from being cheated...as soon as we got there, we had the hotel staff to fetch us.So out of kindness, we wanted to tell the person in charge of the perama agent not to wait for us. But instead there were these group of menwho claimed to be from perama's driver said we had to pay compensation if we never take their transport as they had already arranged transport for us to Senggigi. We refused not to pay and they told our driver not to let us go till we pay.Even then the money they asked is not small about s$10 each. So i went to clarified things out with the perama agent, asking him whats going on.He took my receipt and asked thoes guys not to pester us. So bewared of these ppl. Well the story doesnt end here..akan datang ..the story that make me fall in love with this 'thing'. Wanna know what is it ...just wait for my latest updated...Chaoz... Gd nite!

The feeling is back....

The feeling is back.... The feeling that i had not feel it for long time is back.... Endless sleep...no appetite and pondering...But this time round is worst....You cant get to see the person and might gone forever even without you knowing....This second endless night....Sometime you just want to turn back the time to change the things just to make it right but it is not impossible...Leaving me so confused...either to be selfish or just wanna make your lover happy...sacrife your love for your love ones... I wish i hope and expect to received the best but what if it shattered...This time round gonna be a long healing process...You will only learn to appreciate things after the person gone..Is this is love?To make sacrifices...Only god know how i feel...Expectation and love that i didnt give and this is what i should bear......Shall i fight or shall i keep in silence...tell me tell me!!! I cant give the person wants but i love the person.But does the person still love me. Why is the government have some restriction? But there is other solution. Why i made up to get back to school..if i work is it going to be diffrent? Have make it for one year so y cant go on for just another year? oh oh my thousand of questions are settling in my mind. Does the person leaving me for someone or i am damn lousy lover...?? Is this what you call love that hurt you in the end?? Admitting to tarnish my own love and is it too late to regret?


Lets finish up the wonderful story of Jokjak....(Volcano Merapi and The Ramayana Play)

Yogjakarta 3


Finally, my project are done my exam are over but left with my results...Scary and more scary is that i doubt i do good this time...Sigh. Crap to 'Wireless'! Suck to Rosw! Result is in two week time.What i gonna do during my holiday.Hmmm...All i can say it is plan, i guess.... And i guess another last trip to Indonesia before moving to my next country..... Hong Kong maybe heheheh... Let's put all of that aside and try to finish up my JOkjak story


Jojak
Oh gosh i like almost forgot what i did there....Let's see....Ok now i know....Let's start with Prabanam Temple
This place has a myth to it. As far as what i had learned there, a warrior really wanted to marry this princess and the condition was that this warrior had to built 1000 temples within a fortnite. As he knows that is impossible, he got helped from suprenatural genie to build it for him. As the princess can see that his plans worked. She summon something which can't remeber to distract his worked. Then he really got angry and cursed in to this stone.
More of the pictures i took of the place
Another historic temple is Borubudur...It is the largest Buddha Stuppa in the world...
People are rushing up the to the top....
Parts of The Borubudur
The craving on the bricks....which tells the story
The abstract photo
The nice contrast
Buddha seat over the wall???
This is a shelter made to protect the real buddha statue inside. Bandits like to steal it away and sell it for big money. Ppl believe that by touching the buddha statue, it may brings good luck.
Enough for now...will bring you the last episod of this trip next time....
