The First week and me

the brisbane cabs and the Brisbane flyer... the flyer is a waste of time, a device to con the tourists
my manual for advanced optometry 7
a collection of postcards from all over the world
an overly-expensive desert at this famous desert place call freestyle..
Ming-en outside ''Happy days'' looking like a noob


Year 4 optom students are like acting in Grey's anatomy... Everyone wants patients... EVERYONE WOULD SNATCH Patients!!... its like a world of animals out there!... and patients are our food of survival!...

this week has been crazy...1 st week back and i have no fucking idea how rusty i m towards all the stuff!! and THEY PUT US RIGHT OUT THERE IN THE WILD... treating patients with our crappy skills on our own!! exactly like those interns in Grey's anatomy... OK probably not interns as we are the 2nd lowest level of the food chain,, the third years are....

they got shout n scolded like no one's business from some fucking mean clinicians like DB (nickname DataBase) and SL ( nicknamed Slit Lamp)! not like we are much better... we are the bigger minions...

Toowong and the Dead

the bird is really nice to stay still for me to take photos
the most luxurious part of the graveyard ...the jewish part
it looks like god is resurrecting the dead from the grave
overview of the graveyard
a very nice innovation to preserve the flowers from birds and squirrels

love this look
Julian and a stupid looking dog which keeps following us...

Last semester after exams i suddenly feel like using my true films instead of the normal C41 films .... Just to test out the effects with my Holga 135BC... those pictures with the faded sides i think are probably due to my attached Holga fisheye lens...

the films are fucking expensive to developed!!! 15 bucks to do in brisbane!!! fuck!!! i bought the film at about 5 to 6 bucks only!!! WTF.... in Singapore developing true films are cheaper at about 6 to 7 bucks...

after these pics , i really feel that B and W photos should reserve for something gloomy and solemn....or is it becoz i capture the gloominess of the graveyard ?! every photo i see i can sense the solemnness!

Isfahan and the smelly vaginal Jazerra

A normal shop at Isfahan city, iran
the main square where all the tourist attractions are

the carpark of the main square

a poster that is considered extremely westernised in Isfahan

WTF WTF WTF!!!!!! out of the nowhere my flight got cancelled!!!! no email, no call!!!!... no sms!!! NOTHING!@!#@!%$@!$ U smelly vagina , suck my ass-hair Jazerra airways!!!!!!! Jazerra airways is a piece of shit....

n there i was at isfahan airport stranding like a piece of just fallen shit... no one can speak proper english except the airport manager whose accent pisses me off too!! no representatives from the airline!!.. nothing!!! i realli panicked.. there are only a few flights each day, mostly internal flights n i have to reach abu dhabi the next day morning!!! or i will miss my abu dhabi-singapore flight!... n my visa is only for 7 days n that's my 7th day!... i dunno what will happen if my visa expired n i m still in Iran...

so i fuck it n flew to Tehran... those bastards still want to squeeze my money by having a huge difference in exchange rates for my USD... i wish ur sons have dicks grow in their ears!

At the international Airport.. the smelly vagina emirates airlines ppl say i cant buy the tickets there!! WTF... ?!! wat's the use of them in the airport!?!@!! smelly vagina!!!... they ask me to call straight to dubai n buy tickets through the phone.... but THIS IS IRAN!!...the phone connection is shit!!! SHIT SHITSHITSHIHTISHTIHS....i cant call through n listen to a full sentence of english properly!!

the only out now is to fuck my Abudhabi ticket n fly straight out of Iran to KL... n that cost me 580 USD....but the shit thing is i only brought 500 USD to iran !!!! i fucking panicked like nuts already but the counter guy keep rushing me for money to pay as the flight is 45 mins away n i havent check in or go through immigration!!... FUCK!! i have no time to think.... my mind is in a fucking blank!!.... shd i pay or not? or wait for a flight to dubai the next day n rush to abu dhabi? how how how?!@ plus i have no money n i cant use Credit cards!!..

Isfahan and the erected Iranian Dick

Isfahan sign board which i dont know what it means
the most famous mosque in ISfahan

I went Couchsurfing again in Isfahan and get to know Madry... Went to his house and rest and once again began some small talk... i got some postcards from some parts of europe so i just show him .... to MY UTTER DISBELIEF, he was aroused by a postcard!!! like wTF?! it wasnt even a real human being in the postcard!! its just some random painted cartoon chicken holding a Heineken Beer!!!....like dat also can erect ???.... n i didnt even purposely go look at his dick..... his erection is so power that the action is seriously unmissable .. i reckon either his dick is fucking long or he didnt wear underwear at all

met up with 2 spanish girls form Basque area, Osasuna. Nice girls but not as hot as i expected.

Went back to Madry's place and had some small chat. Madry another cousin came and we started to dance some Iranian music.

Strange shit happend at night. surprising Madry asked one of the girls for sex!! and the weird thing is she agreed!!! OMG... the worst shit is i like to sleep on my right n they have sex on the right!!! WTF..... Madry's body smell is such a pungent smell... it's like rotten lamb smell....

the next day i asked the other spanish ger if she will have sex with the cousin or not since the cousin also approached her(only diff is he doesnt speak english)... she said she doesnt mind at all since they are so sexually deprived! WTF

Isfahan and the Shy and Pretty Iranian Babe

the girl whom Pooya asked to help me in the bus from shiraz to isfahan is sooo shy n very traditional. but quite pretty . she didnt even dare to shake my hand( later i get to know that girls cant shake hands with guys EVER)

Reached Isfahan at 4am... super tired!! took a cab who keep insisting that i go embassy!! i dunno wtf is that... end up it is a 6 star hotel in Isfahan ... he doesnt know english so i presumed it was really a embassy for china or sth like dat... it is a failure to convince him that i want to just go to a decent hotel, so i just shoot out a hostel name called Naghe-Jahan (means half the world in Farsi). the hotel name is also the nickname of isfahan as isfahan is supposingly so awesome that it is half the world.

the hotel was shit n i was charged 1.5 nights for arriving so early!.... NOt happy with the squat toilet and also the free breakfast which turns out to be coffee and the iranian nan(a kind of iranian bread)!

Shiraz and the fallen Persepolis

finally went to Persepolis shiraz, the area where the fallen Persian empire kings n nobles attend meetings n meet the king sessions i think. the view was breathtaking to say the least....

Shiraz and the Pistachio Farm

Went to Ahmils farm for a BBQ . i cooked some omelette and a failed attempt at making pasta soup. they keep offering me whiskey and volka but honestly i sick of it. the whole session is spoken in Farsi n i dont know a single workd.

Finally Yosra , ahmils, his cousin and Haida went out for kebab. fucking cold though and the kebabs are burnt so much taht i dont want to eat it. Ahmil almost went into a berserk after i nearly pluck out his Pistachio plant to use as firewood!... the reaction on his face is priceless!!

Shiraz and the Hafez Tomb

Eram Garden


Hafez Tomb--- the tomb of the greatest poet of Iran

After a huge night of drinking Persian Vodka and non-alchol beer , i woke up at abt 11am. Pooya keeps coughing at night, i m having trouble to sleep with those loud coughings sounds... in the morning, YOsra brought me around the city , visiting all the Hafez tomb and Eram Garden... but seriously its not that great at all!

Shiraz and the illegal 2000USD

received fucking a lot of shit from the Sharjah ariport . the person in charge seemed to have no experience in handling a Singaporean flying from sharjah to Shiraz. i have to wait abt 45 mins for them to ensure i could go to iran without a visa! the iran embassy called them to tell them to ask some werid shit abt me!!... WTF

they asked how much USD do i have? do i have more than 2000 USD... like WTF R THEY DOING...?!! how much money do i have concern them for what?!!... n 2000 USD ONLY to be deemed illegal?? 2000 usd only leh!!!. WTF?? lucky i only brought 400 usd and at 500 euros so i pretty legal in that sense!....they also say if i have no hotel i might have dee trouble with the authorities at the iranian end... OK shit looms

finally i got to Shiraz after the shit plane delayed for 3hrs!!! the guy i suppose to stay with , Pooya have really crap reception( its iran , what do i expect right?) and i got ripped off for buying a SIM card... NOT HAPPY

UAE and the Burj dubai

Dubai City in the morning
burj dubai at night at the first day !!! i m sooo lucky!
burj dubai in the morning

i can only meet my Dubai Couchsurfing host, Ahmed at night but i arrive in Abu Dhabi really early in the morning!.... so i have about 12 hrs to kill off ... cant venture out of the airport as there is no buggage lockers anywhere!! the fucking BIG GREEN bag is killing me again!!

Eithad had this free shuttle bus to dubai and the service is first class! they gave me a box of apples n oranges for the bus ride and a free blanket from the plane! the main office refuse to allow me to put my luggage there, so i stay at the office for a abt five hrs to kill off... read some middle east newspaper... it really gives u a really different view of the world of arab n middle east from our narrow-minded strait times

Met Ahmed at the dubai mall... which is flooded with ppl despite being one of the biggest mall in the world. cant imagine dubai was a desert just abt 15 yrs ago!... now it s more advanced than Singapore... we went to this awesome bar at the beach to meet some fellow Couchsurfers from Poland...

Brussels and the beautiful Linkebeek

Poster of the Brussels Airline which is everywhere

'' People clearing out snow sign''

Linkebeek train station

Manneken Pis--- the legend as the boy who saved Brussels from fire by extinguishing it with his urine

This lame old woman statue stood out of nowhere... with fake birds all around her

FUcK this huge green backpack of mine!!! it has became the bane of this whole trip!! Not only it has cost me almost 600 SGD to move it around the world , it hinders my movements and seriously fucking irritates me to the core.

Brussels signs are written in Flemish or French, sometimes english. and my Couchsurfing host, Alain lives in Linkebeek which is damn fucking far from the city. Even some of the locals dont know where it is.. after a series of asking , fumbling and the torture of dragging this fucking green bag around, i finally reached Alain's palce,...

he is such an awesome n interesting host!! A PHD in biomolecular cancer research but look like some gangster.... a ponytail, huge bike, go to bars, divorced and having a married wife as his gf! u simply cant guess that he is a 60- yr old man!

chatting with him gives me such a huge insight in life! Rory gallager, george best, 9/11 theories, are some of the things i would neva forget...

Brussels is the smallest n by far the most uninteresting city !!... but Linkebeek n Alain makes it sooo unforgettable ... n this once again, is what makes a place awesome
