more fall color

ok, one warm day for tomorrow and then temperature will drop to seasonal temp. we have to wait for about 6-7 months before they start flowering again.

fall color

fall foliage is still patchy in new york area at the moment where red, yellow or brown is normally the official color of fall. however, occasional you see dash of purple or surprisingly blue right in the midst of them all.

sea bass goreng

hey, hey, look at that, louie went fishing last night and caught few sea bass. gave us one and boy, he's big. i couldn't wait to fry that bastard next weekend. not even sure what we call them in malay?

zamah

looking at the binoculars while i was at the beach yesterday, all of a sudden it reminded me of zamah (grandfather). i remember he used to have this big binoculars, not sure the brand name, that i would secretly play with when he was not around.

one more day at the beach

weather was warm yesterday. well, not that warm that you could jump into the water but nice enough to be sitting at the beach. so, i figured what the heck, one more day wouldn't kill ya. went to beach d on dune road and man, we had to fight the crowd to get to the beach:)

trout pond - fall foliage

stopped by at trout pond to check it out or maybe take pics of the fall foliage. patches of color here and there. but quite peak yet. it will certainly look different in few weeks time.

madonna - sticky & sweet

so, went to the show last night. thought i was going to be late because i almost missed the 7 pm train to secaucus junction in order to catch a shuttle bus to the meadowlands. but, apparently madge decided to come on stage about 1 hour later. there was no opening act so i had to hold my bladder for an hour because i thought the show was going to start the moment i get up from my seat. anyway, was not as excited as i thought i should have been. its probably because i saw half of the show on youtube. i guessed i was more interested in seeing how the whole concert looks like live and kindda imagine what you will see on tv or dvd. i would say it would be one hell of a boring show without all the lights and video screen in the background. i just have to say one thing though, why must she play guitar during every segment of her show? urgh, kindda slowed down the momentum of the segment. it was great when she played played the guitar for the theme song from evita where she was surrounded by other musicians. other than that, she can do without it and gawd, especially with the song ray of light. oh by the way, she should have skipped the song spanish lesson in her set list too. don't want to sound bicthy about the concert since others probably wouldn't have the chance to watch her concert and i should consider myself lucky. overall, i enjoyed it and who knows she could be dead tomorrow and at least i can say that i had been to her show. even the biker dude behind me said to his girlfriend or wife that he went to zztop, bruce springsteen's concert at the meadowlands ( uh huh ) and came to see madonna just to check out what people are raving about and he actually stayed through the whole show. so there you, i have seen the pope in nyc, i went to madonna's concert in new jersey, i have been to kinabalu twice, niagara falls many times and the next thing on the list is to go la tomatina tomato fight in bunyol for my next big birthday...ooopa. now that would be one hell of an experience.
