The first time in the island of Penang , Hot air balloon fiesta was held in a wide area field at Padang Polo. Throngs of people were there as early as 4.00am to queue up for the tickets.
Flashes and clicks was at work in that early dusky morning. Thanks to a friend who was able buy tickets for us, we were in the first batch. If not, I doubt we would be able to sit in it till evening. Partly because there was numerous complaints about one person is entitled to purchase 4 tickets, the rule was changed to one person per ticket later on.
Just a few pictures in my phone to share.

Although it was just a short while, I'm glad to capture one good overall picture from the top. Especially the monster face.
Fairytales
tells you only one thing; Happily Ever After. Truth be known, reality can’t
always be. Truth aside, I still love fairytales. It’s hope like the famous
saying “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars”
I’m not
going to be lengthy on how life should be dealt with or motivate you with the
best positive lines I can churn up. I’m trying to be positive everyday. I'm a Christian so I know my life is guided
by God, the creator of heaven and earth no matter how hard I fall, I know there’s
always a way out for the better.
Some of you
might find peace and solace in the god you believe and some of you might find
yourself or people around you to be the pillar(s) in your life.
We just have
to sit down in quiet solitude to think about life, review them, if you are
getting the best there is to this one life we have been bestowed. I’m not
saying we should be greedy and ditch all self worth to get what you want. In
fact, when reached the stage of success in whichever area it might be, one must
be able to look back and be proud of the progress.
I’ve always prayed,”God,
if I ever forget my values and my self-worth in doing anything, cause me not to be comfortable till I change”. And that was an extremely uncomfortable prayer however I felt that that is who
I should be. I’m just glad that there is Someone watching over me.

Parent's brought us into this world, they can only protect us to a certain time, we need to be the best of us.
Xiaomi brand is solid contender to the named brands like Apple and Samsung. It is similar to an Iphone but with the Android system.
I bought a Mi3 which you can read of its full specs at GSM Arena. It costs me RM730 with free screen protector. I was very impressed by its capabilities as the pixel is satisfactory and the touch is splendid.
There was only one regret which I didn't check out before I bought it which was the lousy microphone which distorts and therefore I do not get the video nor recording quality as I have hope.
Everything else is pretty cool and worth the buy. So if you are into taking video or recording voice, this is not for you.
For those of you who are currently using Mi3, here are some great tips and tricks to fully utilize the functions of an Mi3
Many times we feel we let our body down when we don't exercise. We can't find the time, sedentary life in the 9 to 5, working out with kids maybe, or just too tired for it. Try my methods, it's not hardcore workout because if you can do those, then you don't really need these tips. On the other hand, its great when you are really busy and you need to squeeze in some tone to the body. 1. In the bathroom: While showering or brushing teeth, do squats for your thighs.
While showering, do some shadow boxing placing your feet firmly on the floor. There is no need to move the feet unless you're in the living room.
While conditioning hair, do wall push ups
2. In The Living Room
While watching TV, during commercial break or intentional break from the DVD, do planks. Afterall you do know, its good to rest the eye away from the screen every once in a while.
This exercise below can be done while work or at home.
3. In the car: Squeeze your butt with 10 reps and break in between. Sit up straight and suck in your tummy for 45 seconds before breathing out and repeating few times similarly to the one below.
4. In the office or a workstation where applicable
Take a 1 liter water bottle, lift it behind your shoulder and lifting it up and down as straight as you can. Then shift to the hand.
Taking a break from work and do this at your desk.
Place both your palm on the side of the chair, facing inward to you, drop your body down slowly and use your arm strength to lift yourself up, and repeat few reps till you're use to it then increase. Tone the triceps.
Just so you know, all this can be done in the comfort of your own home, not necessarily at work or in the car. It's applying simple workouts during your routine of life.
IN everything, moderation is the best when it comes to food. For me, I eat breakfast like a prince, lunch like a king and dinner like a pauper on most working nights.
Women need to drink at least 3 liters of water a day while men 4 liters.
You have to find what works for your lifestyle when trying to stay as fit as possible is your priority. All the best to you!
It's one of those days where you know you have many things to do and you can't do it cos Mr. Flu and Madam Ulcer gives you a pain in the neck.
Worst yet, although you want to have a good sleep, the mind just plays your life's responsibilities over and over like it's telling you to get up and do it. It's what keeps you awake.
It's one of those days, you succumb to the body's ailments and excuse thyself from doing anything important.
Well, it's one of those days for me and I've got almost the perfect outlet, complain in writing. As I write , I'm starting to feel sleepy, words just bounce off my mind. And now time for the true slumber, I'm signing off.
