View of Penang.

When we went back down we got a drink :)

I never thought I would need a sweater over here, but here I am, wearing a borrowed sweater…and still a bit cold.

Francis and I are in the Cameron Highlands, and it isn’t expected to get above 70F while were here. I don’t like anything below 60, so we are in dangerous territory hahaha. But it’ll be nice to have a hot shower available!! I’ve only gotten a small handful of those in the past month, and while the cool water is refreshing in this humidity…nothing beats a long, hot shower.

[27th June 2011]

the best scenery is always taken with heart and passion. the best relationship always comes with give and take. so did we. we love each other too much until we reach a point where suddenly everything breakdown. we dont know whats wrong. or what happened. but all we know is that. we still have our faith and love to each other. and with that. we’re sure to move on again. to start from the beginning again.

Gigantic Rafflesia plant with an unique seven-petaled flower.

This photo was taken in May 2011 in Gunung Kinabalu National Park at the Island of Borneo (located in the east Malaysian state of Sabah), where this plant blooms only for a few days with a 5-petaled flower. This one has an unique 7-petaled flower.

The Rafflesia is a parasitic flowering plant found in the rain forest of southeastern Asia. The plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. It is an endoparasite of vines spreading its absorptive organ (the Haustorium) inside the tissue of the vine. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petaled flower. The flower can grow over 100 cm in diameter.

The flowers look and smell like rotting flesh, hence its local names which translate to “corpse flower” or “meat flower”. The vile smell that the flower gives off attracts insects such as flies, which transport pollen from male to female flowers. Most species have separate male and female flowers, but a few have bisexual flowers.

We arrived at 10:30am local time, and we were exhausted as.

A beautiful village to be visited away from city life..u can go jungle tracking and do flying fox there.

While kind of on the subject of taking photos out of hotel room windows, this is the sort of weird things that happen when you stick a polariser on your camera and try shooting through the thick, treated glass they use in hot countries. A friend of mine did some reading up on it and the polarised light that is reflected off the water or other windows can potentially show up stresses in the glass of the window you’re shooting through, or something like that hehe.

If you’re remotely interested these were shot from the Mandarin Oriental in Kuala Lumpur.

Eating. I love food, but I hate eating. I find eating a chore and something I don’t enjoy all too much. 

I’m not anorexic, far from it, but I hate having to eat greasy, buttery, oil-filled foods even single day here in Malaysia.

On a side note, my shirt today has a giraffe wearing hipster spectacles. Your argument is invalid.

Obedient Wives Club Might Be a Bad Idea

 

In Malaysia, an organization known as the Obedient Wives Club has been formed by marginal Muslim group in an effort to curb domestic violence in the home and prostitution.  According to the group’s mission statement, these problems can be addressed through an educational program that teaches women to keep their husbands satisfied sexually, which will in turn prevent them from soliciting the services of a prostitute or punching their wives in the face.  A representative of the group stated that women should be “better than a first class prostitute, which makes sense because the best way to root out a problem is to upstage it.”  Upon hearing this statement that a wife should perform in the bedroom better than a prostitute, the MANdate – the society that represents all men in the world – nearly dissolved at one of their recent meetings on the Isle of Man due to exasperation from too much laughter. 

In an interview during the post-laughter recovery period at MANdate, MANdate Chairman Chuck Mann said, “In all my thirty years of marriage, I have maintained intimacy with my wife, whom I love dearly.  But never during the time we’ve been together have I ever expected anything whore-ish from wife…even when I wanted her to.”

Malaysia’s minister for women’s affairs, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, says that the club’s effort to make women more obedient to their husbands casts a poor light on the Muslim country and does not represent Islam well.  When asked if this Obedient Wives Club was the straw that broke the camel’s back in terms of misrepresenting Islam in comparison to other aspects that have negatively represented Islam; such as radical Islamic fundamentalism; the countless terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid, Israel, Pakistan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and Yemen (just to name a few); and the fact that Islam’s influence in government has caused politics as well as Muslim ideology to be corrupted; Jalil said, “Well…perhaps we should not get caught up in semantics.”

Splitting hairs the size of tree trunks aside, the group has received substantial backlash from other countries, who question if Malaysian men are turning their wives into slaves.  In response, the group has released a statement: “We understand that our mission statement is written using misleading rhetoric that might confuse those who do not fully understand our ideology.  We expected that there would be questions as to our motivations and our agenda.  And so what if we are?”

Johnny Deep…woohooo..DEEP…!!!

Another Malaysian printed ad. I remember that i saw it once on newspaper and couldn’t forget about how effectively the message is delivered.
