Chelsea vs. Malaysia

Received a free ticket to catch the Chelsea match against Malaysia. Took a motorbike ride there and was greeted by a throng of Malaysian and Chelsea fans at the stadium





There was a sea of blue and yellow in every direction and the stadium was nearly filled up to it's brim





Players walking out into the pitch




Chelsea players starting to warm up.




The players in their own huddle, last minute pep talk before the game.




The Malaysian team on the offence

The Malaysian team testing the Chelsea's defence






Didier Drogba trying to get past his markers.




And of course the bad boy of Chelsea, Mr Anelka




The Malaysian team made a total of 11 substitution, practically replacing everyone in the team. And there seemed to be no way Chelsea was going to penetrate the Malaysian's defence.




So ended up, it was the most BORING football match ever. Both sides did not press hard enough and both sides were making mistakes left and right. But i got to say the Malaysian keeper was top notch, thwarting many attempts by Chelsea players to get on to the score sheet.





So great job Malaysian team, play like this but with more tenacity, and I am pretty sure we might qualify for the world cup :D



An appreciation to their fans from the Chelsea players.

Ze Bali Trip

Hello! It seems like it has been a billion years since I have updated my blog. Well nothing really has occurred from time I last updated until now. Let me try to re-cap what has happened, well i passed my professional exam, when on a holiday break, visited Bali and most of all just lazed around at home. Since my holiday is nearing an end, I decided to update my Blog about my latest Bali trip.



Did an express-kinda trip to Bali. It was just a 4 days trip. Was supposed to be my elective for my university (I decided to shoot the culture of Bali).The weather was hot, but not the scorching hot type in Malaysia, it was hot but breezy. Oh and i kinda look like i got toasted in the sun, I totally forgot about bringing a sun block.





Ok less chat and more pics. Bali island inhabitants are 95% Hindus and they are really proud about their culture. Modernisation seem like it has not touched this island as most of the culture still remains intact.









I really wondered what they were doing here.


 Fire dance and the "Kecak dance"



Original Indonesian Batik




See those black-ish areas around the mountain, well they are lava from a previous  eruption.




Holy springs




Traditional rituals being carried out at a temple







Most temples seem to have the same type of architecture



The picturesque Tanah Lot.


Tanah Lot is actually situated on a live volcano



And there is an actual temple on the site.
