These pictures were taken from our balcony in Paris!

Hi guys! Sorry for missing out this week. Again. I already started my days as an internship at one of scholar’s branch company. And my first impression when I stepped into that cold glass door was that, “I chose a wrong place for my internship”. (Okay, may be not that long, but you get it).

The place is suitable for biotechnology, bioprocessing or something along that line of works. It requires you to do lot of lab works for research purposes. That being said, I really like the working environment there. Everyone seems friendly to each other and eerily look like one big family.

Not bad for spending your 10 weeks there, I hope. Anyway, this also my first time living in an apartment. My house is at the top most floor (20th floor) and apart from the crowded space below, the night view of the city is breath taking. The nightlife there is equally tempting. I am sorry though for not posting any of the pictures here. I haven’t managed to upload it into my laptop.

Happy Labour Day to everyone! I am going off to Kelantan for the weekend! See you later!

From Paris, France

Hi to all. I will be off to Singapore under my university educational and career visit program tonight (Friday, January 16, 2009). Truth is I am not that excited since I already been to Singapore few times already, mainly for shopping spare, but this is the first time I will go there with my friends and for an educational purposes. I am sure the feeling will be entirely different. To be said at least, it’s not an official vacation. You need to be prepared and do some paper works before getting there.

It’s a sixth day’s trip and I will straight home for Chinese New Year’s and mid semester holiday after that. This means that I will back online on 22nd or 23rd of January. I know I have been neglecting Hot Shit Form Here and my readers these last few weeks (sorry about that), but I assure you that I will active again as soon as I am stepping into my holiday shoes. Till then, please feel free to watch this slideshow about my last vacation in Paris, France.

Thanks for being so understanding. See you again in a week!

Music Monday #2 >> Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody >> Paris Hilton - Paris For President

I was wondering what the best fit is for my Music Monday. So, after doing some soul searching and mind blowing calculation, I found the solution for my dilemma. In coherence with the two most current event, Halloween (31st October) and US Election Day (4th November), I decided to choose two entirely different songs. My first song is Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody in Ghost soundtrack. Have you seen the movie? It’s about her fiancé’s soul that trapped as a ghost and has to warn his fiancé about the danger she is in. Fiancé, death, ghost and of course, here come the Halloween, are you catching my drift? Anyway, it’s dated back in 1990, which thankfully, I was already born. Love the movie, love the music.

My second choice is Paris for President! No, you read it correctly. I wonder what will happen when we all vote in favor of Paris Hilton as President, “your commander in bikini”? But I must admit, her ‘policies’ does sound promising. That being said, relaying on Paris for the country and world in her hand is purely stupid thing to do. You betcha! It’s hot.

Listen to Paris for President here:

Paris for President!
At the pomp chillin’ with the martini
Paris for President!
Your commander in bikini
Let me tell you ’bout my policy
To stop the player hating on the USA
Initialize nuclear nonproliferation and ratify Kyoto today
You can ride in the motorcade in my hybrid pink escalade

Paris for president!
Not another oldie cliché
Paris for president!
You can get married if you're straight or if you're gay

If you're gonna put lipstick on a pig
Make sure that it matches your skin tone
You can trust me with my finger on the button
Is a vocabulary don't
Trading in the cabinet for a walk in closet
Hey! (hey!)

Paris for president!
America should put me in charge
Paris for president!
Look at bush it can't be that hard

Simon Cowell he might be a little mean
But when his old kicked his bucket
I'll put him the courts to clean,
Then I'll paint the white house pink and move it to Malibu

Paris for president!
A proponent of clean energy
Paris for president!
The real maverick in D.C

Water boarding is torture and global warming is totally not hot
I'll make a department called the fashion police,
Boost the economy with all of the new jobs
Make over lady liberty in Donna, Tommy and Calvin Klein
Hey!

Paris for president!
Get your cute little butt out there and vote,
Paris for president!
Dispensing beauty tips and hopes

Paris for president...
Hey!
Paris for president...
Hey!

He was seen equipped with a rock, a construction site pole and a healthy looking ass

A British tourist has been arrested after swimming naked in the moat of Japan’s Imperial Palace. The man was said to have swum the moat before scaling the Tokyo palace’s 25ft wall. Television footage showed him getting out of the water at one point and chasing police with a rock and a construction site pole.

Looking for his 'dropped bag'

He then went back to the murky water and swam across to the other side of the moat, climbing up the 25ft stone wall of the palace. He was caught by two policemen after a chase that media said lasted for an hour and a half.

The palace, which has housed the Japanese Imperial Family for centuries, is seen as sacred ground and is rarely opened to the public except for official tours, and a large security force protects it from intruders.

Passers-by gathered around the moat to watch the chase, giggling and taking photos on mobile phones. Police said it was unclear what his motives were, although he is said to have dropped a bag in the water.

Fiercely marching towards the crowds - you need a lot of self confidence to do it!

The man, possibly in his forties, first said he was Spanish but later said he was a Briton living in Spain, police said. We are checking on his mental condition now,' a police spokesman said. The man was later released without charge.

The palace, in the heart of Tokyo and home to Japan's emperor and empress, is surrounded by 12 moats running four miles in all. Police said the emperor was in the palace, but it was unlikely he saw the nude swimmer in the moat.

Just before he took off his boxer off

What is up with all these tourists who think that skinny dipping in public area is a trilled thing to does? When I was in Paris, I saw a man who stirred what else a ‘cozy’ area (it was a red district, but during the day, people just hanging out at the café slipping teas and coffees) ran naked and jump into one of the fountains there (picture above). It just a shallow pond, but that was not the point. Only after his friends took his pictures, he wears his bath robe back. Need to remind you, it was like 15 degree Celsius on that day. Sigh, he must a man with a hot body (literally).

With his very supportive friends

Just a reminder, when you are travelling abroad, please keep your pants intact with you all the time, especially when you are in public areas. In some part of the world, this kind of behavior may be taken as an entertainment, but others may feel that you are offending their culture. Have a nice day!

I have dragging this post (and few posts to come) for quite sometimes. I am not sure whether it was suitable for general viewing. Few of my readers may be offended by it and think I am just like to brag about my family. So, if you're easily offended by people experiences, please don't continue reading. This post may contain excessively high dose of self experiences, family wealth and personal health and easily be considered as highly inappropriate for this everything-is-high-price year reading material. You have been warned.

Paris, why it sound so special? I actually opposed the idea to go here at first time. I prefer to go London, which my family went for summer holiday last year (which is a perfect place for shopaholic a dedicated shopper like me). Plus, not one of us know a single word of French, except Bonjour and café. How do you want to enjoy your holiday if you can’t understand their people? We actually planned to go to Switzerland, but considering the influx of people when the Euro starts, we changed it to Paris.

There are many signs that against us for this trip. We have to change the flight’s ticket more than twice, three accidents and broken ankle, limped and stitches.

The chronology of those bad signs

• My little brother has a short semester – he later decided not to follow us
• Changed the flight date as I have to fly alone on the different flight (my dad, mom and big brother already bought their tickets before me, as I don’t know when will my exam finish) – I don’t really like the idea of arriving to a country that I don’t understand a damn word, alone
• Changed the apartment booking
• My big brother changed his flight date as he just knows that he has examination the day of departure – he will fly a day later than us
• My mom broke her ankle when she missed step and fall
• I had a small accident (my first car accident) – scratched my mom’s car
• My brother received a notice that he supposed to be exam will be postponed two weeks after we back to Malaysia – he decided not change his flight (which we thanked later)
• We received an email detailing our apartment which was on the sixth floor. Oh, and the apartment doesn’t has a lift - a fact that was conveniently left untold by the owner
• There was news about public transportation’s strikes in France
• My brother had a bad accident a day before our flight
• My limped and stitched brother flies alone to Paris
  

My mom sure that those were signs that we shouldn’t go to Paris. Nevertheless, we continue our plan. We arrived at Aeroport Charles de Gaulle after 13 hours of flight. The weather was bad until the belt sign was on for most of our flight. My seat was next to a 5 or 6 years-old boy, who father is a MAS worker – most probably an engineer or pilot (handsomely build and soft spoken). The entire stewardesses were very friendly with his father. I even saw some of them flirting with him! Meanwhile, his wife was very nice with me. We had a few chat and about where have we been for holidays – she said the most interesting place she had been was to Rome, Italy. Although at first she assumed that I was a student in Paris and fly alone as my mom and dad were at the front row. My brother arrived safely a day after.

Other bad incidents during past holiday:

• My grandmother, last year, at the time she was 70-years-old, broke one of her ribcage during her Hajj at Mecca with my parents. She didn't noticed it until her back to Malaysia, has a prolonged fever, chest pained and later, x-ray showed the broken bone.
• Few years back, my grandmother also kicked by a kangaroo during a zoo walking in Queensland. Her doesn't suffer from any injuries but that incident caught by taped :)
• My brother nearly pick pocketed on the tube in London during last year summer vacation. That fella already open his bag. Thank God he noticed.
• One of my mother trolley bags (oh my, I wonder sometimes why she always carry lots of bags during holiday) slide out from one of Turkey's train last couple years. Luckily, she managed to bring it inside the train just in the time for its departure.

I Can't Hear You from My Little Black Pot

Language is the most interesting (and damn hard) subject to learn. At a "tender" age of 20, I already learn several languages such as English, Arabic and the latest is French. And of course, there is my mother tongue (why they don't call it father tongue?) language which is Bahasa Melayu (or Malay language or Bahasa Malaysia. Whichever they call it now). I always wanted to write a post in Malay but I am not confident enough with my ability to construct beautiful sentences that will captivate my readers (I never had an "A" for my Bahasa Melayu subject in school). So, just hope that the day will come soon.

Language may sometimes misinterpreted. The ability to diagnose a language must be achieved with a full consideration of its culture and where the place of language is spoken. How we portraits our ideas into words, to make a sentence just to form an understandable argument. It's a hard process to learn a new language. Sometimes, your tongue just couldn't handle it. As my Indian friend once said, we need a short tongue to learn Malay language, a shorter one to learn English, and a longer one to learn Tamil's. Can anyone tells me how to grow your tongue LONGER?

So, in the midst of my struggling to learn French, I flip up my ultimate guide into the French language, which is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning French On Your Own, and it stated that there are ten reasons only why you should learn French:

1. You love Colette's romance novels.
2. You'd like to root for the Montréal Canadiens in French.
3. You loved Les Misérables so much that you decided to read the original version in its entirety—all 600 plus pages.
4. You want to avoid ordering francs with mustard and sauerkraut.
5. You never know when you're going to run into Catherine Deneuve.
6. You want to impress your date at a French restaurant.
7. You love French movies but find the subtitles too distracting.
8. They won't let you onto the topless beach in Martinique without it.
9. Two words: French Fries.
10. You want to meet St. Exupéry's “Little Prince.”

Note: I only know what the heck he's talking about start from the number 6 and higher. So, which one is my reason for learning French? It's not even there! I wanted to learn French because of its beauty and for the art of the language itself. I wanted to feel good, sexy and could make anyone drooling in my presence. It's the same feeling when you wish to learn British accent so that your partner will mistakenly think that you're as hot and as sexy as Jude Law. Or when you have the urge to learn Chinese so that you will be master in kungfu. Or when you though that if you speak in Korean or Japanese, you will be automatically beautiful (without any clear gender line) and your partner will somehow become irresistible-dolly-cute.

Oh, and it may be because I will be having my short holiday there. I will be going to Paris for 10 days (or more) with my family. My flight will leave this Sunday, which means I have to go to Kuala Lumpur either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I am not sure whether I will bring along my laptop, so just in case I am not, I just want to tell all my readers that I am won't be updating my blog until I am back to Malaysia.

This year has done plenty of good things for me. Nevertheless, when it comes to my study, it was one of the most busy, mind breaking, hormone building year. I am looking forward for the half of this 2008 year! Have a great week, and happy holiday everyone!!

à bientôt (so long),
