2012 was pretty good. Don’t really think that it was awesomely superb but I’m grateful for all the happenings in the past 12 months be it positive or negative ones. Am sure I gained quite a lot of stuff in 2012.

Of all months, December was the craziest month for me. Highlights of December 2012 – met up with some awesome people at events, went through a newbie experience to go on the field to capture some pictures of Harimau Malaya, witnessed 2 couples going through one of their most important stages in life, left KL for a while on a scheduled trip, had a simple birthday celebration, Christmas Day celebration and spending the last few days of 2012 with my love. It was a good month, one month I enjoyed really much.

At the end of the day, I thank God for everything and I’m grateful that I have so many wonderful people around me with awesome happenings along the path. Really enjoyed every bit of 2012 especially during the time spent with her.

2013 will DEFINITELY be a better year!

The post The Last Month of Two O One Two appeared first on JOSHUAONGYS.COM.

So here am I, writing the last post for the trip I went with the girlfriend – Tiffanie earlier this year. It was the last full day of the trip at Hoi An, Vietnam and we already wondered why time flew by so fast.

While I was secretly wishing that our next trip could be much longer – prolly a week to a month, we took our own sweet time on deciding where to go and what to do. The ultimate plan of the day was to head to Cua Dai beach.

Before that, we embarked on a journey to seek for a good place for glorious food and well, we did find ourselves being 2 very happy person finishing some really delicious local food. We kinda stepped into this shop with nobody in it, a pretty decent place with a very friendly uncle to take our orders.

After 15-20 minutes or so, the scent of the food which were cooked heavily with assorted spices were presented in front of us. It was fabulous, slighly oily but fabulous. Yums!

The cycling trip to the beach was quite tiring. Especially when you’re under the hot sun going uphill! Cua Dai beach is quite a commercialized beach and we could see quite alot of foreigners there. As for me myself, I was a happy boy upon reaching the place as I’ve been wanting to visit the beach for the longest time ever.

Other random stuffs we did was dropping by a shop where Tiffanie shopped for some dirt cheap dresses and me pulling her aside to camwhore.

As we had quite a satisfying lunch, we didn’t really took much in for dinner. Just some random bites in the town enjoying each other’s company.

So yeah, the whole trip was surprisingly enjoyable as the small town of Hoi An was filled with a lot of friendly helpful locals. Liked the food there and the stay was decent as well.

Of course, the most important thing was I spent quality time off with my girl keeping myself away from the life back in Kuala Lumpur.

Not sure when will be our next trip, but I really hope it could be much longer then. Ha!

The post Hoi An, Vietnam Trip 2012 Day 3 – One Happy Day! appeared first on JOSHUAONGYS.COM.

Just knew about this function like on Thursday itself. Made a last minute decision to head to Bukit Jalil last night and I must say, no regrets. The familiarity being in such atmosphere with powerful forces in the midst of thousands of people, really missed that a lot. Though I didn’t get to listen to every single message preached or testimony shared, I was touched last night.

Those comforting moments really hit me hard.

Anyway, tonight is the last night of this function. There were miracles happening in the past few nights where people with critical illness/disabilities being healed. No I’m not joking and this is not a prank.

If you know someone, a friend or family member who is/are critically ill at the moment, you have to bring him/her over to the conference tonight!

Admission is free and the session will start at 7.30PM at Bukit Jalil National Stadium Car Park B. Please don’t worry about parking space, getting healed is much more important than that. Apart from that, those who want to join in to pray for Malaysia or get blessed by the sermon, please feel free to attend as well. Ask your friends/family along, it will be AWESOME!!!

Well if you really can’t join, there will be live streaming of the service through this link here – http://m4jtv.fgacyc.com/. Do share the link out!

God Bless!

I’m not a hardcore gamer, nor am I a person who will support original games by buying it. However, this specific title has a place in my heart. I played the 1st installment during my secondary school days and the 2nd installment of the game franchise occupied part of my life during my Diploma days. I’ll spent hours going through quests exploring dungeons desserts & etc with my college mates. Since then, I’ve been following the development news of Diablo 3 from time to time. First knew about it in 2008 when Blizzard shows signs that they are coming out with the 3rd installment of the game. Waited for 5 whole years since then!

Diablo 3 is FINALLY HERE!

There isn’t much night life activities to do in the small town of Hoi An, Vietnam. When I was having my vacation there last week, we walked passed the streets of shops and found ourselves amongst small stalls along Thu Bon River with lanterns on the bridge itself. It was a beautiful sight.

There were restaurants along the river for tourists to enjoy and chill. Many of them in fact. Didn’t explore those places but would love to go the next time I visit Hoi An again. A few more pictures below. Peaceful town. Too bad didn’t enjoy the night much, I blame it on the weather.

Went to the beach on the 3rd day. Can’t wait to blog about it!!

The post Hoi An, Vietnam Trip 2012 Day 2 – The night along Thu Bon River appeared first on JOSHUAONGYS.COM.

The very first Vietnamese dish I had in my life is Pho – Beef Noodles. That particular night on the 2nd day of my trip in Hoi An, Vietnam, I was craving for Pho.

After chilling along the river, we headed back to hotel for a bath before going out to hunt for dinner!! We cycled to Hoi An town centre and found ourselves in a small area with 3 food stalls selling local food at a cheaper price compared to the cafes/restaurants around. Well, the main reason I decided to get our dinner there was because the stalls serve Pho!

I noticed the sign there and immediately went on and get a seat ordering my bowl of beef noodles while the girlfriend ordered Cao Lau instead.

In less than 5 minutes, our dish were served on the table and we quickly took a few pictures before we start to eat!

Well, we enjoyed the food very much. The bowl of beef noodles was better than what I’ve expected. The clear soup base were made to perfection and the slices of beef are just nice! On the other hand, the slices of pork served in the bowl of Cao Lau was tasty as well. One thing i noticed that the noodles they used there aren’t as oily as the Kuey Teow we have here in Malaysia, which is why I liked it really much. If you have chance to visit Hoi An, perhaps you want to remember the faces in the picture below and try out their food, awesome stuffs!

Next, we cycled around the town and saw this particular cafe with quite a lot of customers. Stepped in and saw that they have spring rolls, without any hesitation, we ordered a plate of spring roll and waited patiently for it to come. Sad to say, it wasn’t as good as the ones we had on the first day. Prolly because that there are different types of spring rolls served there and coincidentally, we don’t fancy this specific one.

The last dish we had that night was this – Chao Vit. A common dish in the town of Hoi An, Chao Vit is a bowl of porridge served with duck meat. Don’t look down on this bowl of porridge, it’s extremely delicious and it’s 1 of my favorite food for this trip. The broth cooked along with the duck meat will be mixed with the porridge itself and it really spice up the dish. Eating it while it’s hot is the best thing you can do!!

Both me and the girlfriend had 2 bowls of Chao Vit through out our 3 days 3 nights stay in Hoi An town. Hehehe.

Above are a few more pictures featuring Hoi An town centre at night. Shops in the town normally close around 9-10PM. If you plan to visit the town & have nothing to do when the shops close, you can walk to the river and you’ll reach a bridge with colorful lanterns. A lot of tourists frequent that place during the night. It’s quite a scene.

Will talk more about the bridge soon with more pictures!!

Hoi An is a very small town and there are just a handful tourist attractions there. By paying 90,000 Dong (Which is approx. RM14), you can visit 5 different places.

One of the main place to visit is the ancient houses there which aged around 200 years old. Most of these houses used to be homes of influential figures residing in the area. If I’m not mistaken, there are 5 different houses to visit and we only went into 2 of them.

Basically, the designs of the houses are quite similar to the ones we usually watch on Chinese dramas set in ancient times. Check out the pictures below and you’ll know what I mean.

There was this particular house which was built along the river. On one of the walls, they indicated the date and height the house was flooded before.

Later on, we hop onto a boat along the river & chilled there with beer for myself and coconut juice for the girlfriend. Stayed pretty long on the boat as we managed to connect to the internet through a local cafe’s Wi-Fi connection!

A few random pictures.

Time spent in Hoi An doing nothing most of the time, AWESOME. Stay tuned for more updates on the trip!!!
