Asia's Next Top Model - Cycle 4

Once again, Asia's Next Top Model is back at Singapore on the 4th cycle. Cindy Bishop replace Georgina Wilson as the main host while Kelly Tandiono took over Joey Mead-King as the models' mentor in this cycle. Nevertheless, Yu Tsai also joined force as the creating director as well~

This time, the competitor is stronger than ever and more drama & fights among the bitches as well. Also not to forget a lot of new "1st time" history make in this cycle, eg: 1st Mongolian participant; 1st Myanmar participant; 1st Malaysian Muslim participant...

Before we go into further details, let's have a look at the group shot of this cycle:-

 Sang In, Aldilla & Julian

 Patricia, May & Jessica

Tuti, Angie & Tawan

CYCLE 4 WINNER

JIRATCHAYA "TAWAN" KEDKONG (THAILAND)

Second Thai-Ger has won the title of Asia's Next Top Model within 4 cycles. First is Jessica from cycle 1 & Tawan is the second Thai-Girl who has make Thailand proud. I love Tawan before her make-over, she looks sophisticated & more mature compare to her look after the drastic hair-cut. Suddenly she became alive, young & bubbly. She's not my favorite girl though but i'm ok with her being the top 3, just not the winner though...

SANG IN KIM (KOREA)

Sang In is definitely my favorite in this cycle, I was so happy when she managed to make it to the top 3 & I thought she'll be the first Korean girl to win Asia's Next Top Model. I love her cheek bone & was impressed on how good her English is compare to other Korean. Not only she can shot good photograph, her ability of absorbing new skill is fast. But only that Fucking Rude Glenn Tan (shame of Malaysian) try to destroy Sang In, but luckily she's strong enough to overcome it. 

PATRICIA GUNAWAN (INDONESIA)

Patricia almost make a history in this cycle if she won the title & make Indonesia the first country to have the back-to-back winner ever. However, for me Patricia is good in her runway no doubt, but she's not totally good in her photo shoot though. Being the shortest girl, she never gave up like Ayu Ghani in the previous cycle, but too bad the title did not belongs to her...

JULIAN FLORES (PHILIPPINES)

3 Pinoy participates in this cycle, one being too beauty queen & another one gave up and apparently the pressure falls on Julian. For me, I never thought she looks pretty until the Neutrogena & Harper's Bazaar shots. She looks better without the fringe seriously, more prettier and can show off her features better. But being too quiet in this competition make the judges worry and suspect her will to stay in this competition...

ANGELA "ANGIE" WATKINS (SINGAPORE)

Ms Singapore as usual is very kiasu in all the cycle, so as Angie in cycle 4. Not only she cannot accept the fact that she is not too outstanding compare to other competitors, she is a lil bit fake for me as well. Luckily her pretty face & big boobs do win her a lot of points for her to stay in this competition. But too bad this is not "Asia's Next Top Porn Star", or else she would have win it...

NURAINI "TUTI" NOOR (MALAYSIA)

One of my favorite girl in this cycle beside Sang In, Aldilla & Tugs. Being the first Muslim girl to participate in this competition, I'm kinda worry about her when she back to Malaysia. Of course beside wearing a bit too expose in the show, letting some stranger "guy" to massage her leg is a big NO NO for muslim girl. But I like her so much & wish that she can strike a good future in the modeling industry soon :)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face

A not so pleasant Lake Toba trip

A lot of you may ask, why this kind of post's title? How unpleasant is it?

Well, there's always some consequences facts that we need to face when we book our holiday trip with friends on one year before during the cheap fare promotion. And, since its cheap, people tends to last minute cancel the trip to accommodate for others thingy. If it is due to emergency, I can understand; but if you cancel this trip because you arranged another trip & "forgotten" about this trip... Then sorry, I will not call you for my next holiday trip anymore...

This trip supposingly to be a 4-person trip, but in the end, 2 person decided to cancel off & "burn" the air ticket, coz its cheap & they don't care...Well, only left me & another friend then, but... my friend got chicken pop on the second day of this trip...  

The trip began with 2 guys arriving at the Medan's Kualanamu International Airport. The airport looks kinda nice & the road condition nearby the airport seems to be good as well. We got into a cab & travel for 6 hours to go to our destination - Danau Toba. 

Let me tell you, these 6 hours were the most suffering journey I ever have. Not only the cab "does not" have aircond, the road conditions become worse & worsen when you travel further away from the airport. Medan is the 4th big city of Indonesia, I expect it would be like Surabaya's conditions... and the hot weather is killing me :(

When we reach Danau Toba, we have to take another 30-45 mins of boat ride to our hotel. Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world & which is about 100km long; 30km wide; 505m deep. I'm kinda happy a bit when I saw the hotel that I insisted to book during the discussion with my friends. The hotel is Mas Cottages & located in the Samosir Island. Our room was just in front of the lake & its about the mid of all places :)

Its not very windy during that time but at least not as hot as the Medan City. But too bad, my friend chicken pop started to "pop out" one by one. We thought of renting a motorbike to go to the nearest clinic or hospital but the local people here keep on criticize on the medical center at here & advice us better to buy some medicine & eat... 

As we are still deciding whether to go for doctor's treatment or not, our tummy need an urgent treatment instead. We climb some staircase and reach the top of Mas Cottages, you can have breakfast, lunch & dinner here. The view is so nice, you can see the lake so clearly from here & the environment is kinda peaceful as well.

As the time is kinda late after we ate, we decided to only rent the motorbike on the next day to ride around the island & look for any medical center too. First night we slept quite early because there's nothing to do and the wifi is kinda slow as well + my friend really need to get more rest too...

We began our journey on the next day after breakfast, its nice to ride around & not wearing any helmet :p Of course we don't dare to do so if we are back at our country hehe... But the local police did stop us because of the helmet. Apparently the police & also the local people here thought my friend is a Pinoy while I'm either from Taiwan or China until we force to speak our-so-called fluent Bahasa Malaysia... 

The island is nice but once again sorry not much photos to share as most of the photos had me inside of it... The most memorable place will be this Huta Siallgan which was from the long long time ago Batak culture. When we step inside, i'm not sure why but the whole place creep me up. The feeling of uncomfortable makes me wanna leave this place fast... After that, we found a local hospital & my friend went for his treatment. Apparently the local people is right about the medical center :) Not only there's no injection or any other treatment, the doctor gave some medicine which we already bought from some convenient shop earlier on...

On the third day of our trip, most of the was spend on the stupid journey back to Medan City. This time not only it took us more than 6 hours, the cab driver trying to charge us extra to fork up the money for another passenger. Excuse me, I don't think I look like a Taiwanese or China guy. You can see "MALAYSIAN" writing on my face ok... & don't think that I keep quiet means i don't understand what the hell you guys are talking in the cab. When the cab driver use English to ask us for extra pay, I answer him in Bahasa Malaysia and it freaked him out a lil bit. In the end, we do not need to pay the extra money but the whole journey is just so tiring & frustrating...

Well, the Medan City tour is cancel off because it will be better for my friend to rest in the hotel room with aircond. And me also slowly fall into sleep after some time. Though its really bored just staying in the hotel room, but at least my mind can be relax after some few busy months in the office. 

Though the whole trip is not that pleasant, but I will definitely come back to Medan again to complete this "incomplete" trip... But maybe just a weekend to go around the Medan City will do if the air ticket is cheap~

祝你快樂 Sammi 鄭秀文

聽說她關心你　曾聽說她長得很美
還令不羈的你　終於可以體貼入微

看見今天的你　眉宇裡存著朝氣
無論她是誰人　也令我妒忌

遠遠望你共身邊的女人
情若卸任　而責任　恕我要交別人

此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
任陸地蒼海變化　仍然同渡甘苦好嗎？
此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
但願幸福的愛侶　抗拒世間的變卦

我覺得很高興　情緒奇妙　沒法辯明
而直率的天性　只懂給你真的反應

過去我的率性　難完全明白愛情
曾是吵鬧沒停　抱撼這類行徑

遠遠望你共身邊的女人
情若卸任　而責任　恕我要交別人

此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
任陸地蒼海變化　仍然同渡甘苦好嗎？
此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
但願幸福的愛侶　抗拒世間的變卦

此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
任陸地蒼海變化　仍然同渡甘苦好嗎？
此刻衷心衷心祝福你和她
但願幸福的愛侶　抗拒世間的變卦
用心跟她　用心跟她熱愛吧！
叫我再不須記掛

Dr. Slump IQ博士 - Review

Finally I finish reading the whole comic set (18 books) of Dr. Slump :) For almost one month plus, I totally stop watching my drama & movie just to read this... When I read comic, I don't like to rush, I love to read & imagine how it usually move from the way the author 鳥山明 Akira Toriyama trying to present in it. Comic books always give me more spaces to imagine than the cartoon animation. 

As mentioned in my previous post, Dr. Slump came out way earlier than Dragon Ballz... The manga series were originally shown in comic magazine, from January 1980 till August 1984. The author thought this manga series will only last for one year plus but Arale seems to be getting it fame that time and the comic become more and more popular :)

Dr. Slump is set in Penguin Village, a place where humans co-exist with all sorts of anthropomorphic animals and other objects. In this village lives Senbei Norimaki, an inventor. In the first chapter, he builds what he hopes will be the world's most perfect little girl robot, named Arale Norimaki. However, she turns out to be in severe need of eyeglasses. She is also very naïve, and in later issues she has adventures such as bringing a huge bear home, having mistaken it for a pet. To Senbei's credit, she does have super-strength. In general, the manga focuses on Arale's misunderstandings of humanity and Senbei's inventions, rivalries, and romantic misadventures. In the middle of the series, a recurring villain named Dr. Mashirito appears as a rival to Senbei.
