The french Spiderman! The Scaling Skyscrapers.
Visits Alain Roberts site:www.alainroberts.com


Do i need to consider myself as lucky as i am? some says, who cares, but for me i will say that i am so lucky. why?
Well that's because  this guy in this photo is a famous and very respected guy in france, Meet Alain Roberts one of the toughest and never had fear of death,
I was on this flight AirFrance AF 256, from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle to Singapore, it was a 12 hours and 20 minutes  flight.
Staying up on this flight is bit uncomfortable, but i am so thankful that i am taking Business Class, the advantage is, i can change my clothes easily, as only 2 persons in a row, not bad. and aside from that the seat is convertible into bed. When about to take off i was hoping that no one will seat next to me, but i saw a one guy running to my place, oh! oh! this is it! he was in the aisle seat while i was in the window seat.

I am just quite when he came, i was pretending and make myself busy by browsing my iPod, while my eyes is looking at the window with this view.
After the aircraft was take off,  few minutes of settling, this guy was gone, so he might have some friends in the other seat, so when the air hostesses came and served the food this guy has come back, so this is the conversation goes, first he asked me if i eat this kind of food , so i replied, yes! but i am not really keen into raw fish, so he just smiled,
and again he asked me why i am wearing a gloves, not meant to embarrass me again! ha ha ha, he ask me in a nice way, i replied, i am not use to this kind of climate, i am asian and you are not! our body is different, i feel cold of course i need to wear this, he just smiled again...i just quiet after i noticed that air hostesses and the rest of the crew come and say hello to him, so I'm wondering, why? anyway who is this guy?am a  little bit of confusion,  until he start talking and he sounds like being nice to me,
He took his mobile phone on his jeans pocket and show  some videos to me,
what is in my mind is, is that real?or just a simply kind of gimmick?, Well until he took a dvd from his bag, until then i am convinced that this guy is well-known guy all over the world, believe me or not, He will climbed all the tallest building in the world such as Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, Sears Tower in Chicago, Marriott Hotel in Warsaw Poland, National Bank of Abu Dhabi,UAE, Taipei 101, Cheung Kong Centre in Hongkong, Jin Mao Building in Shanghai China, Eiffel Tower, The Sydney Opera House, Montparnasse Tower in Paris, Federation Tower in Moscow, Russia, New York Times Building in New York, Singapore Flyer, Burj Khalifa, Dubai,  and take note without any safety equipments or (paraparnilyas) on his body, just him with his climbing shoes and  his bare hands!, after knowing him i ask lots of question and he sounds very interesting guy, down to earth and very loving to his family but he has this passion of taking risk his life  by climbing this tallest building, only one simple question that i asked him that day,  ARE YOU NOT AFRAID WHEN DOING ALL OF THESE? he replied, if something you really want to do, or something you love to do, you can't feel the danger. Phew!!! i don't know what he really mean is but for me even using the elevator goes to 100th floor? i still feel the danger,  and how about climbing without nothing in your hand? You Decide.!
This is one my favourite momentos from my travelling, sitting next to the well-known man is considering lucky,
Meeting People unexpectedly is a blessings and luck, we can't judge them by just looking at them, or just heard their name, we conclude other people lives like higher than us but when we have a chance to know that person, by then we can say that he is good, he is friendly and all good words will come out just name it!,  thats why we don't need to be rude to others , always be gentle and talk lovingly. Thats the lessons i learned from the journey of my life.

Brazil, i speak!

Just a little smile on my face after from the tiring trip.


  One of the most intriguing story is when someone embarrass you infront of the others, this is what happen to me when i took my first visit in South America, Country of Brazil, not meant to hurt me but i'm totally look like stupid infront of the people that no one can even help me from that embarrassment. Well this is the story begin,  It was 26 hours flight from Brunei to Brazil and another 3 hours travel from airport going to Ubatuba (by land). Ubatuba is a Brazilian City located on the southeast coast in the state of Sao Paulo,  from airport along the way we decided to stop and grab some foods to eat, i went to the small restaurant,  and i observed that the people inside was just like an eglish american, so i went in and order a cup of coffee with  hamburger, when i start talking and giving my order all of them was just looking at me, like a killer, he..he..oh!oh!..what's going on in here?and again i keep talking and i realize that no one of these people can speak english. I saw their facial expressions some are just laughing, some are just smiling and gossiping, its just like hey! im hungry give me my food! i am in  a little patience, and thanks for the yoga activity i control my temper, but deep inside i am just about to explode! what i did is i just pointed out the food that i like, but and again this brazilian guy asking something that it might be related to the size of the hamburger or is regular or large or the coffee need to be less of sugar or with milk or whatever he mean....lastly! i decided to order just 1 bottle of  water , so i said, just give me a bottle of water with sandwich please. again he asked something in portuguese that might be a small bottle or large?god!please, just let me come in and get the water! i just walked out with empty handed ...i was helpless that day, my head was moving around and looking for  someone's help who can speak english. but nope!!! i get back to the car and talk to the driver and  glad i saw 1 bottle of water in his car and tell  him to get same thing for me....great experienced though!.


We bought this Portuguese - English dictionery following day, and carry along with me wherever i go, living one month in brazil is just like a hell for me, i cant talk to anybody, i need to make a sentence before asking them and when they answer  i have to look at it and search the meaning.phew!!!!thank god i will survived.

This is the price after the hustle and bustle of the trip, i get relaxed and enjoy the scenery from my room.





The Beach: This is how the beach looks  like during the day, brazilian people are beach lover, they love to stay up under the sun, either its too hot, its doenst matter as long as they can wear their sexy bikini and they will enjoy.




Love Shopping? Brazilian shop is quite interesting, aside from havaianas store with full of different classy and types of slippers, we went to this shop they called "Minerais do Brasil", the inside was so amazing, they sell different kind of stones,  that has come from the deep sea water, minerais is one of the famous shop in ubatuba, 
Places of Interest: Visit this one of a kind animals in "Aquario de Ubatuba", you can touch some of the rare species inside with the help of the aquario staff, enjoy the excitement of a little penguins and his family, a baby alligator, turtles, and different kind of fishes. 
The people: Brazilian people are so friendly eventhough we can't speak same  language but the gesture and facial expression with their great smiles are considerable that  you are welcome to them. I just remembered when my other half had a pancreatic attack, the doctor and nurses are very helpful, the service are so great that we can never imagine, since they know that we are a foreigner they hired one of the best young interpreter to help with us, so the flow of the medication is very smooth and easy because they show us with a great hospitality. as what the saying says, action speaks louder than words. Thats the brazilian people.
Healthy food. This food is not out from the menu, everyday this foods always come in your plate, but aside from that, brazilian are meats and seafoods  lovers, such as lamb, mutton, pork, and grilled fresh fish, and aside from eating pizza and spaghetti they love baked beans and "pupunha' too.
Meet our tour guide: His name is Woofy, we called him wonder dog because of his instinct like a human,  this guy was extremely good he didn't even bother the food in the table, he just wait until when the master feed him straight to his mouth, woofy is our tour guide that day when we had a walked in the morning near by the beach, he accompany us until we finish  our sight seeing.
World Heritage: Paraty (pronounced par-a-chee) is a preserved Portuguese colonial (1500-1822)and Brazilian Imperial (1822-1889) town with a population of about 36,000. It is located on the costa verde (green coast), a lush, green corridor that runs along the coastline of the state Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. Paraty has become a popular tourist area  in recent years, renowned for the Historic town and the coast and mountains in the region.(source : Paraty Wikipidia).
After the sunny holiday in ubatuba , we went to sao paulo for a day,  for its comfort and elegance visit  Hotel Emilliano,   a place where you can find just like home.
