Bottles Of Autumn

A message from Ham Kor's Agent.....


Actually, this blog suppose to be publish after my client's holland trip blog. Unfortunately.... due to the management "wisdom" to block all chats messaging, "stress releasing" websites and BLOGS .... ( Mind if i'm asking.... what does entertainment has to do with blogs???? ) My Holland trip blog somehow got corrupted.... So, you guys have to wait for a few days again.... But i'll assure you, that blog will be enteraining with full of Ham-Sap-ness.... (hehe...)

Below is a press conference release made public by our beloved Hamkor....

Agent: Well well well.... Check this out.... Wat have Hamkor did this time....? Oh shit...... He got
romantic suddenly.... what...??? is love in the air....???

Hamkor : No...... (responsed while potraying a dull face ....)

Agent : ( a little blurred) ok...... Hamkor, why don't you explain to us what are these bottles
are then....?




Hamkor : ( saying it proudly...) My trip to Holland last November has inspired me to create this idea to share to the world. A piece that last temporarily in physical but lasts forever in memories. Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you.... My Bottles of Autumn....


Audience: wa~


Agent: There you go from the audience.... i see that every bottles are differently setup... Do they bring any meanings?


Hamkor: (saying it proudly again....) Yes, of course..... Let me tell you every each of them....




I named this bottle "Ressurection from stress". It reminds me that whenever i'm stress, i need to cut some plants and stuff it in the bottle !!!!

Agent and Audience : ( ' _ ' )"

Audience: wa~

Hamkor: Hehe... please forgive me.... have been quite stress since i didn't get to use my CHATS and.... BLOGS !!!


Agent : Rilek bro... rilek rilek.... So what's the next bottle
about....?






Hamkor : The second bottle is "Life Pressures" . In life, we always push ourselves to obtain wealth, power and reputation but at the same time these 3 things are also pushing at us....and make us work like ah kau ah te.... Due to this friction, we tend to forget what's life is about....

Audience: wa~

Agent : (with an awkward happy mood saying....) THANK YOU HamKor for being so good at playing with our feelings !!!







Hamkor : ( while looking at him sending an eye signal message:" Lu ai si si bo....?") Next.... is the bottle of "Death"...and today is a sad day for my agent if he's not careful with his mouth .....

Agent :(a bit terrified) Hahaha... my client is a great joker !!!
erm... so, what's next boss...?

Hamkor: "Tension"

Agent: what...?

Hamkor: "Tension...."

Agent: Boss, don't get angry le....

Hamkor: The bottle is named "Tension" la you dick head....!
You see there are so many leaves stuffed inside the bottle, that's the feeling in your head when you get tension rite...?

Audience: wa~

Agent : Oh.....

Hamkor: Oh Han zhu ar oh....



Agent : and the last 1..... ?

Hamkor: What happens when you get pressures in life, tension in work and stress with management...?

Agent : ( Do the fei mao version saying...) i dong knou...

*** Did you shake your shoulders while saying it...? ***

Hamkor: I call this bottle "Mind Haywire" ... u see the petals flying around the bottle...? That's how a crazy mind looks like....

Audience: wa~

Hamkor: ( a little bit curious about the audience) What is your problem....?

Audience: wa wawa wa wawawa wawa wa....

***Translation: i was trying to tell you that i am deaf but you seem not to get the picture ***
Hamkor: AGENT !!!!! !@X123&&*

***fyi, Apparently there's only 1 audience ***


Actually the bottles were named as
1. Midst of Surviving
2. Leaves of Fragility
3. Lonely Piece
4. Winter's Coming
5. Colours of Autumn

note: I've thought of something new to do with the bottles this spring.... so first come first serve....

My Holland Trip....

Sorry guys for the delay … but finally the long awaited blog of my trip to Holland is finally published !!!! Our journey to the Netherlands started off in two separate flights – one was delayed due to technical issues arose from the supposed-to-be carrier. Luckily for me and Simon ( my boss), we get to board the flight on time….( Luckily i'm not that ys..... haha... somebody "terasa" already....) It took us about 13 hours of flight to reach the Netherlands. Once we arrived Schippol Airport, we rented a 9 seated van to Amsterdam.



Okay.... some info about Holland.... Holland in general, is famous of its unique architectures, entertainment perks, space cakes, Sex and tulips ( it's a flower you idiot... just in case if you dunno ). Well, Heneiken beer was made there and probably that's why beers over there is cheaper than drinking water. Yeah...the people use to say, never say you've been to holland if you've not been to the red light district ( why red light...? should be green rite.... GO go go ! ). Too bad i can't take their pictures because i didn't dare to risk my camera to be snash by some guy who's patrolling the area.... Along the road, you'll get to see seductive young girls waiting for you to patron them ... (poor michelle.... she was suddenly an outcast at that time... ) . They are so attractive that 1 of my colleague almost bump face to face with an incoming stranger !!! However.... in some lonely alleys, you get to see some who are desperate and uglier than my grandma.... oh... may god have pity on them.... ( trying to be an angel now huh...? ). By the way, if you're in holland looking for red light district, Look for that road sign picture i caught below....

Apart from that, the locals there like to cycle as their preference of mobility around the town and there are about 300,000 people cycle in holland just to get to one place to another. They seldom use cars as public transport like trams ( a type of bus-like-train on the road), trains and busses are sufficent and much more convenient.



As Simon and i arrived earlier to Amsterdam, we decided to drive to the capital city and go for a stroll and breakfast.








During our stroll, we get to see some unique or probably weird things around such as ......
a kenari combo with smart-for -2 car, a shoe made as a boat, toyota felt that making cars for the netherlands was unwise...., Coca - cola thought that dwarfs were used to sent their goods, humans trying to remind God that they made CLOTHES !!! , a "slow" sign for cars that is ready to be knocked down for Asian drivers like us, i'll fail my spelling if you ask me to spell "toilet paper" in holland and you'll never see Hockien tourists around and you know why..... Those were just some of them i could get into my camera for viewing.... ( by the way, the cans of drinks ..... are just cans of drinks .... haha...)







So deducting all of the weird pics , the only normal picture remain........ is my picture. Why? i was only trying to mingle with the weirdos..... ( I know what you want to say .... but just keep it to yourself ok..... )

Then, once we reached the hotel, to my amaze... i had a great view from from my room.....
The river u look in that picture is not a river.It's the sea .... Actually, Holland is a below the sea level country... And you even can see ships passing in front of my room too....








A kiasu breakfast to kick start my day....




The Hotel itself is just within walking distance to my partner's office..... So, along the way get to see a lot of things too....





Once reaching the office ... that's the place that i worked for the week.... ( Sorry for being bored at my elaborations here....But at least you won't spent so much time on my crap )
















Lunch was all bread .... and most of the time they are served stone-harded.... Almost got my jaws out just by eating them..... Nevertheless , they still taste tasty.....





However, dinner was great and red/white wine was served to us almost every night untill i had to say ," just give me an orange juice please...." - i like the last desert... it was exquisite....









On our fourth night, Hans ( the white guy and the CEO of the company ) brought us around
to see the night life of Amsterdam.... That's when i was brought to the red light district ( i really wished i had four eyes at that time.... can let them do multi-tasking... hehe )











As the week of our training ends.....


Since we still had some time.... We went for a stroll again.... but i didn't managed to find the "I Am Sterdam" place to take picture.... damn.... ( my only regret i guess... only huh...? haha, i know what you're gonna say.... just keep it to yourself .... Keep it to yourself....)




As we boarded our flight back to Malaysia, we get to meet some new malaysian friends too ... and create the backbenchers team at the tail of the plane pissing a lot of stewardess and passengers.....

Finally.... get to get some rest after a whole week of tiring work.....

Oh.... So... So.... Soooo Gay man.....
