Hello Kitty 台灣太陽餅 Taiwanese ‘Sun Cookie’
Project 366: #23 Hello Kitty 台灣太陽餅
This cookie from Taiwan has pretty cute packaging. 太陽餅, or Sun Cookie (loosely translated) is a famous cookie which is originated from Taiwan.
I know someone who’d be really excited to see one of these. lol.
This image was shot using the HTC Windows Phone I’m using and enhanced using the Photo Enhancer app that I’ve downloaded from Windows Phone Marketplace. It works almost like the popular iOS-based Instagram. Seriously, not bad.
My Niece and I
Most of my cousins in Johore are already married and there are a lot of kids there. Every year I go back there during CNY and make lots and lots of noise with them. I brought my camera with me last week and boy they were so interested in the camera itself, instead of being in the photographs.
Here’s a picture of me and one of my cousin’s cute daughters. She’s only five this year.
Project 366: #22 My Cousin’s Daughter
This photo was taken by another niece of mine (the eldest sister of the girl in this picture). Not bad.
It’s the last day of January already but I’ve only managed to post up 22 images. That’s 71% of success rate. Not bad too.
I bet Obama’s face appeared in your head for at least twice when you were reading this post. If you don’t get it, never mind, it’s okay. :)
Angry Birds Ang Pau
Ang Pau these days come with so many different designs. This one here that I’ve gotten from my cousin sister is really cute.
Project 366: #21 Angry Birds Ang Pau
And again.. Gong Hei Fatt Choy!! :)
BSOD Spotted at Kuala Lumpur International Airport
I tagged myself along to the airport with my housemate who was picking her brother. Just as we stepped into the airport from its parking lot, we noticed this on the airport’s flight information monitors.
Project 366: #18 Blue Screen of Death spotted at KLIA
Reminds me of the Windows BSOD incident at Beijing 2008 Olympics I’ve blogged about before.
KLIA, what are your IT engineers doing? Lol.
Steven’s Project 366: New Shoe Bag for Stanley
I was on the phone with my younger brother the other night and I forgot the conversation all the way to me asking him if he’d like a new shoe bag.
Me: You don’t have shoe bag meh? Want me to buy one for you or not?
Him: WANT!
Project 366: #17 Nike shoe bag for little bro.
Take it as X’mas + Birthday + New Year + CNY combo present lah. :)
p.s. Image taken using HTC Windows Phone.
Steven’s Project 366: When You’re Bored on a Train Ride
Occasionally, I travel between KL Sentral and Putrajaya Sentral via the ERL, or widely known as the KLIA Transit. Its fare is rather expensive compared to RapidKL’s Express line, but the ERL is much cozier, faster, and they’re equipped with free YES 4G wireless Internet connection.
Yes, wireless Internet on a train that’s moving at 160 km per hour. I guess amazing things do happen when you say yes. :)
This is one of the many places the ERL passes. I took this picture using a Windows Phone and I believe many knows this place. In fact, it is the Kuala Lumpur base of our very Royal Malaysian Air Force.
But (without googling) do you know the actual name of this airport?
Project 366: #16 Random Picture from ERL: Royal Malaysian Air Force Base near Sungai Besi
Simpang Airport is an airport in Kuala Lumpur which is widely known as TUDM Kuala Lumpur. It served as Kuala Lumpur International Airport from 1952 to 1965, until the main airport was moved to Subang International Airport (now the Subang Skypark Terminal).
It is used as the Royal Malaysian Air Force, Royal Malaysian Police Air Wing and the air unit of Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department base. The Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum is also located at this airport. [source]
In May 2011, Malaysian Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Razak announced that the Royal Malaysian Air Force base will be moved to Sendayan in Negeri Sembilan.
Singapore’s MRT is Much Better
Earlier this week I was travelling back to Cyberjaya from Sunway. My initial plan to take a train from my friend’s place to KL Sentral, before taking the ERL to the Putrajaya Sentral failed – all thanks to the lousy KTM service.
I waited for close to an hour and when the train arrived, it was packed like like sardines are packed in cans. Utterly pissed, I left the train station and called a metered cab instead.
Project 366: #14 I think I miss being in Singapore.
Like it or not, if there’s a reason, apart from good money, for me to move to Singapore in the future, it has got to be the effectiveness of its MRT.
Gonna head out for late dinner and Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers game later. Glory Glory Man United!
Steven’s Project 366: Friday the 13th
It was Friday the 13th – thankfully nothing bad happened to me, but my friend, Sean, injured himself from falling off the staircases whilst carrying some stuffs down. That’s why he couldn’t make it to futsal last night.
Shopping malls have started installing new decorations for the Chinese New Year (19 more days!!!). I’ve seen a picture of the CNY decor at Pivilion KL and boy, it was awesome (go google! :P). Yesterday, I dropped by Berjaya Times Square before heading to Sunway Mentari, and found out they’ve got pretty decent decoration too.
Project 366: #13 CNY is coming sooooooonnnnn :D
Not the best picture quality you could find around here cos it was a quick snap from the Windows Phone I’m using.
Happy New Year!!
Sorry, this is kind of late. But still, Happy New Year!!
I spent the last few hours of 2011 waiting for the New Year fireworks at Marina Bay, Singapore; and the first 8 minutes of 2012 viewing one of the most spectacular fireworks displays whilst capturing images of it. It was awesome.
I have not summed up my 2011 in a blog post and have yet to declare my 2012 New Year Resolutions (though I intend to purchase a 24-inch wide screen monitor with probably resolution of 1920×1080), but there’s one thing that I’ve decided. Many have heard about the Project 365, where one posts up an image a day for 365 days. The images could be random or be related to one’s life, friends or family. So, I’m jumping on the bandwagon too! :)
Starting today, I’ll be posting up an image a day (or at times, I might schedule or backdate them, depending on my free time) on this humble blog of mine; and by the end of the year, I’ll spend some time going through what I have actually achieved the whole year. If I don’t have enough time to do that daily, I might accumulate the images (up to 7 days) and post them up weekly. There are other commitments too.
This post/image shall be the first piece of my Project 366 (because 2012 is a leap year! Haha!).

Again, Happy New Year! :)
