Stop.

Stop listening to everybody around you.

Stop following aimlessly.

Stop making excuses.

Start going after what you want.

Make decisions.

Don’t apologize for those decisions.

Some decisions you make will be wrong.

You will fail.

Some decisions you make will be spot on.

You will succeed.

Some decisions you make will just be.

That’s OK too.

You know what you want. Your friends and family know what they want for you.

There is a monumental difference between the two.

It’s the difference between being happy and just being.

You can’t please everybody.

Don’t try.

Most people won’t agree with you.

Good.

Agreement is safe.

Acceptance is safe.

Doing what you’ve been doing is safe.

Seek danger.

What is the first thing that pops up in your mind after reading the sentence above?

Mine is – sex.

I know most of you are thinking the same too.

This sentence can be applied into different context, but “sex” is the first one that pops in my mind. I am 25 years old and having A.d.i.d.a.s. symptom. (All Day I Dream About Sex). Roar. Don’t get close to me if you’re hot.

I don’t know what I need to write for this post, I felt obligated to write. No matter how lousy my content is. Let’s see what I can come up with ;)

This is the final posts of Flanegan’s Brisbane visit. You can look at previous posts here, here, here and here.

We pick up Chris at his new accommodation, which is undergoing a huge make-over at front yard. Something caught our attention, the innovative landlord builds his own mailbox with polyester, a few bricks and a paper box. (that red sport car is 300HP, belongs to Chris)

“Let’s go makan makan first. Bring Flanegan to China town la… let him compare Melbourne and Brisbane’s China town” we said.

“Maybe we can let him try the BEST char siew noodle around..”

“..and let him laugh at Brisbane a bit..” we added.

Brisbane’s story bridge. One of the most iconic landmark of Brisbane. You’ll probably see this bridge imprinted in most of Brisbane’s souvenirs and advertisements.

Anyone know where did the name come from? I mean, seriously.. why “story” ? I personally think that Kurilpa has better name. I reckon they could use a better name such as “Ku-lampa bridge” though.

I noticed the road is almost 40 degree slope at China town. Never pay attention to these details.

This is Brisbane BEST chaw siew noodle, which cost almost AUD$13 per plate. Convert to ringgit Malaysia.. RM50. Consider twice (and few more times) before sending your kids for oversea studies. My dad cries almost every night.

I found the flies are twice as large in this restaurant. The flies probably are very well taken care of. I don’t know. Hopefully that’s not the case.

When I see the flies at Malaysia, I feel pity for ‘em. Size really matters.

We went to watch Sherlock Holmes at nearby cinema..

“Flanegan, I book whole cinema for you ok?”

“Ok”

It’s only 4 of us (I am not in the photo because I’m holding camera, you dumb-ass :P )

We were first ones to arrive.

Do not believe 100% what I write in my blog. Hehehe.

Wow I am amazed of my own writing skills. I can write bullcraps!

Anyone wanna employ me?

Since Flanegan‘s arrival, Khai has been very excited. He has only knew Flanegan for few days, yet they talked like they knew each other forever. Both of them have “same channel”. Photography.

Flanegan studies photography, and this is his photography blog. Khai’s was bitten by photography bug not too long ago.

If both of them were to put into Star Wars context, Flanegan is the Jedi and Khai is Padawan.

Prior Flanegan’s arrival, Khai owns the most canggih camera among us. When Khai takes out his camera, we have to bow before him. Then comes Flanegan with a light saber (bigger and bad-der camera)…

…uh oh.

No one talks to Khai anymore.

Don’t get me wrong. Khai is not secluded. The fact is, Khai was so busy talking photography with Flanegan until we don’t have the chance to talk to him.

One night, Khai suggests to take photo at Mt. Coot-tha. You pronounce it as “Koo-tah”, not “Coot tah”. It’s one of the most amazing night view scene of Brisbane city. And guess what? it’s only 5 minutes drive from my house.

The road to Mount Coot-Tha is curvy and steep. Every single turn Khai takes, we push squeeze to the opposing direction.

“Being squeezed by an elephant that weighs 0.1 ton is fun”, according to both of them. We probably heard a few joint cracks during the ride (seriously).

I wonder how they felt because I put 100% of my weigh on them ^^; I never had the chance of being squeeze by people who were 30kg heavier than myself.

Luckily Chris didn’t die. He was sooooo skinny. Like a stick with a human skin wrapping.

When we reached our destination, we were sweating profusely. We felt like we had just gone through a serious massage and stretches. It’s hell lots of fun :) Next time I want to bring my grandpa along.

While Khai and Flanegan was busy shooting night scene. I set my camera aside and play with long exposures with light. Blogged about it here.

Jerry saw me doing funny actions if front of camera, he was curious.

“What are you doing o?”

“Let me show you some cool shit” (swing my hands in weird motion, then run back to camera) Show him the preview.

“Nohh… 勁超 lehh” (Cantonese: geng chao) I said.

“SHIT MAN THIS IS FUN HAHAHAHAHAHA”

We gather everyone around, and we started doing weird things and silly actions. Many people ponder around us but we don’t give a damn. They can’t see our face anyway.. haha.

Then, Jerry comes up with this idea. He drew a pair of boobs.

“Wah lao… your boob shape looks like 80 years old grannie one.” I said.

“Let me show you the greatest tits of ALL TIME”.

Tits wit HUGE NIPPLES.

Best. Breast. Ever.

Period.

Flanegan came over, grabbed the light. Makes circle with both hands. Pushed up and make another circle.

“What the hell is that ooo….”. We were all curious.

We laughed like MAD when we look at the preview…
