Kek Lok Si #4 - Reached the top of the Pagoda

Continued from the "Before climbing the pagoda" post.

When I reached the top of the tower, I saw this:



This couple looked like foreign workers. Foreigners in a foreign land with love.



Yours truly doing the Hiro Nakamura pose!



A landscape picture of the famous Kek Lok Si Temple.

Logical Quote

Note:I'm going to Port Dickson for the weekend.



"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins"-Heywood Broun

When I first saw this quote, it reminds me of certain events of my past. It relates to my life. I really believe in this quote as I felt extremely bad when I lost in a competition few years ago due to unfair judge panels.

Heywood Campbell Broun (December 7, 1888 - December 18, 1939) was an American journalist. He worked as a sportswriter, newspaper columnist, and editor in New York City. He founded the American Newspaper Guild, now known as The Newspaper Guild. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he is best remembered for his writing on social issues and his championing of the underdog. He believed that journalists could help right wrongs, especially social ills.

March '08 Orientation

2 and a half weeks ago, it was APIIT/UCTI's March Intake 2008 Orientation week.

I was involved a little in programme ideas and helped here and there.

The coolest part of this time's orientation is the Mini sketch. Students were asked to dress a model with newspapers and the thread given. Then perform a short sketch with the model. I suggested the theme to be "Futuristic" as they are fresh technology students with good imagination in a high tech way!



What impresses me the most is having the students to give their best shot for the activity. The attitude was great and the energy level was high.



Nice shoes huh?



The leading designer and her model. Both with a wide smile :)



Most of the costumes and sketches were great. This costume really caught my eye having the Malaysian Government Cabinet attached to his body. Take note of the Malaysia's current Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak on his shoulder. Haha :D


He's a dude k!
Here comes our sexy bunny. I admire his courage. He reminds me of myself when I used to cross dress for sketches. This concept works most of the time, its always funny and attracts a whole lot of attention. This dude actually asked whether I will post his photos in public but I told him no names will be shown.



Bollywood's version of King Leonidas? Haha! He should have shouted:"This is Bollywood!"



Thumbs up to this group! In my opinion, this was the creative outfit of the day!



This team with the Zorro concept was quite good with their sketch. They paid more effort towards the sketch than the outfit and it paid off. He can actually time travel to different time dimensions to save the day. Plus, he's contacted through his high tech cell phone that can call even from few thousand years ahead. Sounds absurd? hey peeps, its a skecth!



Everybody paying attention to the performances.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I left out your picture doesn't mean that you don't get to see them. I've uploaded the rest of the photos into my facebook photo albums.
