Let It Snow.. Let It Snow..


A Visit from St Nicholas.


--------------------------------------------------------------------


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
‘Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!’
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound,
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
and laying his finger aside of his nose,
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
‘Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.

Day life in Hanoi..



As Days Begins in the heart of Hanoi City, we can hear LOTs of motorbike cramping out the streets.

I've been staying in a hotel named as Binh Minh Hotel, well It's nothing special about this hotel than any other hotel that we used to have in Malaysia, but Binh Minh is consider one of the business hotel around here so, everyday we see business men and women walking up and down the corridor of Binh Minh to work and also to held conference in one of this hotel conference room.

The streets name of Hanoi is very short, the streets of Binh Minh Hotel is named Ly Thai To, and it's number 27, so when pronounce it in Vietnamese, it's called as Hai Bai Ly Thai To.

The taxi, comes with different types and sized, from cheap to expansive, there're Daewoo types of taxi, Toyota Vios, Toyota Innova, and also Camry (used as airport Limo) The charges for each texi are from 9k to 15k, for starting and the meter will tick after 1KM, it's way more better than we can those in Malaysia.

Vietnam specialties are their coffee and also their drinks, in terms of fruit juice, it's very concentrated and for the coffee, it's very pure. The taste of it is better than what we get in Gloria Jeans. The food wise, I've not tested much of it and just normal food that I eat everyday in Malaysia.

The Fun Part of Hanoi here is the streets are always pack with Motorbike and cars and the buildings are usually 3 to 5 stories high and each shop is very small with the size of 4x4. It's really Square... Having Lunch and Dinner, we have to climb stairs before sitting down to enjoy the food.

There's a Streets name is called as Hang Gai, and to me it's more like Hang Kai.. where there're lots of foreigners shopping there and it's consider a pirated goods haven.. We can get CD's, DVD's at Rm4 each with the quality packaging mere to originals and we also can have shoes, Nike, Addidas, etc.. and also begs.. The shop selling all this goods is not 1 or 2, It's consider whole Row on the streets.. we can see it.

Others, places of interest will be stated the next trip to Hanoi. So, stay tune.

The Day After Tommorrow

Yesterday had gone, A new Day has arrived..

Although Sky Still Dark..

It's a brand new day.

Get myself a cup of coffee.. and start reading mails from the unknown and friends.

After reading news from theStar, start packing up my begs and go for interview...

Coming back from an interview.. stressout..

Take a cold shower to cool my off the streets heat..

Sitting down the lazy couch trying to take a nap..

The hot weather outside is making me sweat all over again >.<

Went in to grab my laptop and off I go to the nearest Starbucks..

Buy myself a cup of iced latte.. and start online..

Chatting with the girl I adore most makes me feel like this world is still contained with love..

After few hours of chatting, Stars start popping out from the dark sky..

Moon start to shine through the night..

Packing up stuffs and head for home..

Having a hot bath.. and tug myself to bed..

It's just another ordinary day.. but it's worth to be jotted down..

Nice Babe


Lenglui From Philipine.

Song of Sunset on the River

A length setting sun spread water in,
A strip of water's spread in the setting sun,
Half river emerald half river red,
Half the river's emerald, half is red,
Love ninth month first three night,
I love the third night of the ninth month,
Dew like pearl moon like bow,
The dew is like pearl; the moon like a bow.
