Bromance V3.5 - Covid19 Interruptus

Bromance temporary on hold due to Covid19....

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-tbc-

 

Koh Phangan (Pre-covid times)

Sooooo basically this happened,



Where we are going :

Ko Pha Ngan or Koh Phangan, Thai: เกาะพะงัน, rtgs: Ko Pha-ngan, is an island in the Gulf of Thailand in southeast Thailand in Surat Thani Province. It is part of the Samui Archipelago. It is famous for its Full Moon party at Haad Rin Beach and as a backpacker destination. Ko Pha Ngan has two sister islands: the larger Ko Samui to the south and the smaller Ko Tao to the north.

Yup the island all right, the sun is bright, the air smells of sunblock and all, however the journey, THE JOURNEY to this f%*&ng island is &^(&*5123&%^!!!   In the span of a day we've managed to get on almost all forms of transportation mode known to man. From van-plane-bus-boat-van-tuktuk



What we are going to do:

The Full Moon Party takes place every month throughout the year. Its attractions include fire skipping ropes, alcohol "buckets", and drugs. There is a very wide spectrum of music ranging from trance, to drum and bass, to reggae. The party takes place in many clubs along the Haad Rin beach. For april 2015 the party falls on the 3rd which is a " Thank god its friday!"


What can we expect to see:

So this is what 20,000 to 40,000 people on one beach looks like

One whole long beach just for the full moon party.











What we should be careful of :

There has been many reports of dangerous activities going on during the full moon party. Well what can one expect when there is over 40,000 people partying on the infamous Haad Rin beach intoxicated on alcohol, weed, shroom and god knows what else.

There are also many sad incidents that have taken place on this island such as murders, rape cases, robberies just to name a few. The recent article (17 Sept 2015) below covers this quite well.


The dark underworld of the full moon party

Too drunk or too drugged? 

 The infamous bucket drinks. There are various prices and different combinations. Now the real danger lies in the fact that any of it could be spiked, leaving you vulnerable as above for thieves to take your belongings or even worse, take your body.

 The flaming jump rope, yeah after a few drinks you will be like why not? this is easy and i'm super brave and that's when you realize fire do burn human skin faster than you can say " roti bakar"










So we are going to one of the world's infamous party places, lets put the "full moon party, is the greatest ever" to the test, X-dest style.

Wish all of us luck !! and we will be back with more pictures and great unforgettable memories!

-fs- not being able to sleep from too much anticipation for this trip

Made friends and lost them through the years,
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long,
I know I've grown

Guess who's back!

Hey everyone, the blog is not dead!!

Yes, it was abandoned, neglected by us for a very long time (2011) but my appetite for writing has returned so expect more to come. As you can see we have grown into a huge group now!

Small update

I have been trying to change certain things but it seems to be going very wrong. I have been reading the dummy's guide to try and change the layout, background, and fonts but what you see now is the results of that (yes i know i failed horribly)

Time to seek professional help! In the next few weeks (hopefully) we are going to revamp and update the entire blog to 2015!!

I will begin posting tomorrow and i hope the other admins (eh hemmmmmm) will also assist to post at least one thing a week per person.

Aegis

A sign of revival? Resurrection or second coming of this blog? 

There's a sudden spike in the number of traffic to this blog a sudden as shown below. 

Seems that there are still lurkers around, Arron being on of them, as proven by being the first to detect the latest posting. 

 

Well, after a long hiatus, our mascot the great d**k Fook Siang have mentioned that he shall be contributing a post a week to this place! 

So SFS, please do the honor and be the first of few to entertain us all

p.s. - yes you are obligated to.

Time

Is there anyone still visiting this place? People of xdestination to be specific. Things have been dead for awhile now, last post was in 2011.  3 - 4 ish years laying dormant here, the chat box populated by spammers.

Years went by since the last post, we've grown or perhaps simply aged a little since. The times when we are able to haunt till wee hours are now confined to weekends if at all with small congregation, road trips are but words of thought. Longing I may for the time of past, but its the future which we are to head. How should we head it is to our own making.

May we be acquainted longer than time immemorial gone.


I leave this here for now,  those who can, do infest this place with some at least once a while, we should not let this place die as what kept here are legacies of our youth, naivety and memoir of days not so long past.

Super expensive dog!

They say money can't buy love - but £1million will get you man's most expensive best friend.
A red Tibetan mastiff has become the priciest dog in the world after being sold for 10 million Chinese yuan, or £945,000 or US$1.5m.

Big Splash, or Hong Dong in Chinese, was bought by a coal baron from the north of China .
And it's lucky his new master is a multi-millionaire, because the hefty price tag doesn't factor in Big Splash's diet - enough chicken and beef to fill a growing 180lb dog, spiced up with Chinese delicacies such as sea cucumber and abalone.



Pricey pup: A Red Tibetan Mastiff called Big Splash has become the world's most expensive dog
His owner will need a big house too, as adult Tibetan Mastiffs have been known to weigh as much as 286lb, or more than 20 stone - the same as a sizeable rugby player. However the typical weight for a fully grown Tibetan Mastiff is around 13 stone.

But according to breeder Lu Liang, Big Splash is a 'perfect specimen' and the extravagant price for the 11-month-old is completely justified.

He said: 'We have spent a lot of money raising this dog, and we have the salaries of plenty of staff to pay' - adding that the new owner could charge almost £10,000 a time for Big Splash to breed with a female.
The high price paid for the dog is a sign that the red Tibetan mastiff has become a status symbol in China , replacing jewellery and cars as a way for the super-rich to show off their wealth.

Not only is red considered a lucky colour, but Tibetan mastiffs are thought to be holy animals, blessing their owners' health and security.

Tibetans believe the dogs have the souls of monks and nuns who were not good enough to be reincarnated as humans or into Shambhala, the heavenly realm.

Owners of the breed have included Queen Victoria, King George IV and Genghis Khan - who supposedly took 30,000 of the dogs with his ar my in his bid to conquer Western Europe .


Ancient breed: The dog is a descendant of animals kept by nomadic Chinese tribes
These days there are only around 300 Tibetan mastiffs in the UK , and puppies sell for a more reasonable £850 to £1,000.

James Pally, a Tibetan mastiff breeder from Pantymwyn near Mold in Flintshire, North Wales , said:
'They are very smart and they think for themselves and can sense danger very acutely.
'Tibetan mastiffs were originally used to guard the livestock and they are very good with other animals and they love children.

'I have six of them and if you don't give them enough attention they sit in front of the TV.'

The title of most expensive dog in the world was previously held by a Tibetan mastiff called Red Lion, who was valued at £915,000 last year.

Miss Malaysia joke! (18 and above)

One of the main reasons why in recent years the Malaysian Government has always ensured that their Miss Universe representatives were of tertiary level education or higher was because of the following incident which occurred not too many years ago.

It is the final round of the Miss Universe Pageant and the 3 finalists, Miss USA, Miss Malaysia and Miss Singapore were being asked 3 simple questions:

MC: The first question is name me an electrical appliance starting with 'L'
Miss USA : Lamp
Miss Singapore : Light bulb
Miss Malaysia : LADIO
Judge: No, no, Radio does not start with the letter 'L'

MC: I am going to give you 3 more chances; Now, name me an animal starting with the letter 'L'
Miss USA : Lion
Miss Singapore : Leopard
Miss Malaysia : LABBIT
Judge: No, no, no!

MC: Your next chance. The name of a famous car that starts with 'L'
Miss USA : Lexus
Miss Singapore : Lamborghini
Miss Malaysia : Lolls-Loyce
Judge: Oh my God!

MC: I am going to give you one last chance! Name me a fruit starting with the letter 'L'
Miss USA : Lemon
Miss Singapore : Lychee
Miss Malaysia , with full of confidence, smiles and says: LIEWLIAN!!

This is not the end of the story, the Judge consulted the board of judges to determine if Miss Malaysia
should really be disqualified ; and they decided that since Miss Malaysia was having so many problems with
the letter 'L', they decided to give her another chance.

Judge: OK, the final question is : Name me a human anatomy starting with the letter 'L'
Miss USA : Lung (applause)
Miss Singapore : Liver (even more applause)
Miss Malaysia : LAN CIAU !

The Judges fainted..!!! "

-fs- HAHAHA Leli Lunny!

Evolution of men and women

Creepy true mysterious stories

Headless valley

In the Nahanni National Park of Northwest Canada lies the Nahanni River. The area is only accessible by boat or plane and is home to many natural wonders, such as sinkholes, geysers and a waterfall almost double the size of Niagara Falls. Lord Tweeds Muir (John Buchan), author of The 39 Steps, once said of the valley: “It’s a fancy place that old-timers dream about. … Some said the “valley was full of gold and some said it was hot as hell owing to the warm springs. … It had a wicked name too, for at least a dozen folks went in and never came out’ … Indians said it was the home of devils.”

The 200 Mile gorge has become infamous, due to a number of gruesome deaths and many disappearances, earning itself the eerie name, The Valley of the Headless Men. Anomalies first began in 1908, when the Macleod Brothers came prospecting for gold in the valley. Nothing was heard or seen of the brothers for a whole year, until their decapitated bodies were found near a river. Nine years later, the Swiss prospector Martin Jorgenson was next to succumb to the Valley, when his headless corpse was found. In 1945, a miner from Ontario was found in his sleeping bag with his head cut from his shoulders. While skeptics of an unknown power at work in the Valley would put the grizzly mutilations down to feuding gold prospectors or hostile Indians, there are other strange happenings in the area which add to the valleys mysteriousness. The fiercely renowned Naha tribe simply vanished from the area a few years prior to the first deaths. Other Indians of the area have avoided the Valley for centuries, claiming an unknown evil haunts it. Many parts of the valley remain unexplored, and there are tales the Valley holds an entrance to the Hollow earth. Others believe the Valley is home to a lost world, with lush greenery and a tropical climate, due to the hot springs generating warm air, as well as untapped goldmines and wandering sasquatches. While a haven for Bigfoot remains unlikely, one thing is for certain, something strange lurks in the Nahanni Valley.

Povegelia island

Poveglia Island is one of many island in the lagoons of Venice, Italy but instead of being a place of beauty, the island is a festering blemish in the shimmering sea and is not only regarded as one of the most haunted locations on the planet, but also one of the most evil places in the world. Today no one visits save to harvest the vineyards. Fishermen even steer clear of the island for fear that they will catch human bones in their nets.

The dark history of Poveglia Island began during the Roman Era when it was used to isolate plague victims from the general population. Centuries later, when the Black Death rolled through Europe it served that purpose again. The dead were dumped into large pits and buried or burned. As the plague tightened its grip, the population began to panic and those residents showing the slightest sign of sickness were taken from their homes and to the island of Poveglia kicking and screaming and pleading. They were thrown onto piles of rotting corpses and set ablaze. Men, women, children... all left to die in agony. It's estimated that the tiny island saw as many as 160,000 bodies during this time.

The island has become a putrid area indeed. The soil of the island combined with the charred remains of the bodies dumped there creating a thick layer of sticky ash. The core of the island is literally human remains that has given the island a loathsome reputation, but appears to be very good for the grapevines that are planted there. Think about that next time you partake of Italian wine!

As if the story was not disturbing enough, it gets worse. In 1922 the island became home to a psychiatric hospital complete with a large and very impressive bell tower. The patients of this hospital immediately began to report that they would see ghosts of plague victims on the island and that they would be kept up at night hearing the tortured wails of the suffering spirits. Because they were already considered mad by the hospital staff, these complaints were largely ignored.

To add to the anguish of the poor souls populating this island hospital, one doctor there decided to make a name for himself by experimenting on his subjects all to find a cure for insanity. Lobotomies were performed on his pitiable patients using crude tools like hand drills, chisels, and hammers. Those patients and even the ones who were not privy to the doctor's special attentions were taken to the bell tower where they were tortured and subjected to a number of inhumane horrors.

According to the lore, after many years of performing these immoral acts, the evil doctor began to see the tortured plague ridden spirits of Poveglia Island himself. It is said that they led him to the bell tower where he jumped (or was thrown) to the grounds below. The fall did not kill him according to a nurse who witnessed the event, but she related that as he lay on the ground writhing in pain, a mist came up out of the ground and choked him to death. It's rumored that the doctor is bricked up in the hospital bell tower and on a still night, the bell can be heard tolling across the bay. The hospital closed down.

For a time, the Italian government owned the island, but it was later sold. That owner abandoned it in the 1960's and was the last person to try and live there. A family recently sought to buy the island and build a holiday home on it but they left the first night there and refused to comment on what happened. The only fact that we do know is that their daughters face was ripped open and required fourteen stitches.

Today Poveglia is uninhabited and tourism to island is strictly forbidden. Every now and then the lapping waves on the shore uncover charred human bones.

Several psychics have visited the island the abandoned hospital, but all of them left scared to death of what they had sensed there. Every now and then daredevils dodge the police patrols to explore the island, but everyone who has made it there have refused to return saying that there is a heavy atmosphere of evil and they the screams and tortured moans that permeate the island make staying there unbearable.

One report from a misguided thrill seeker who fled the island says that after entering the abandoned hospital, a disembodied voice ordered them, "Leave immediately and do not return."

They never did.

SS Ourang Medan

In February, 1948, distress calls were picked up by numerous ships near Indonesia, from the Dutch freighter SS Ourang Medan. The chilling message was, “All officers including captain are dead lying in chartroom and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead.” This message was followed by indecipherable Morse code then one final grisly message… “I die.” When the first rescue vessel arrived on the scene a few hours later, they tried to hail the Ourang Medan but there was no response. A boarding party was sent to the ship and what they found was a frightening sight that has made the Ourang Medan one of the strangest and scariest ghost ship stories of all time.

All the crew and officers of the Ourang Medan were dead, their eyes open, faces looking towards the sun, arms outstretched and a look of terror on their faces. Even the ship’s dog was dead, found snarling at some unseen enemy. When nearing the bodies in the boiler room, the rescue crew felt a chill, though the temperature was near 110°F. The decision was made to tow the ship back to port, but before they could get underway, smoke began rolling up from the hull. The rescue crew left the ship and barely had time to cut the tow lines before the Ourang Medan exploded and sank.

To this day, the exact fate of the Ourang Medan and her crew remains a mystery.

Overtoun Bridge

The Overtoun Bridge is an arch bridge located near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland, which was built in 1859. It has become famous for the number of unexplained instances in which dogs have, apparently, committed suicide by leaping off it. The incidents were first recorded around the 1950′s or 1960′s, when it was noticed that dogs – usually the long-nosed variety, like Collies – would suddenly and unexpectedly leap off the bridge and fall fifty feet, to their deaths. In some cases, however, the dogs would survive, recuperate, and then leap off the bridge again. What makes this tragic mystery even more mysterious is that many of the dogs that jump from Overton Bridge jump from the same side and from almost the same spot: between the final two parapets on the right-hand side of the bridge.

Some believe that the bridge is haunted. In 1994, a man threw his baby son off the bridge, claiming that it was the anti-Christ. Later, the man attempted suicide there as well. Was Overtoun Bridge responsible for this tragic event? Some believe that Overtoun Bridge is a “thin place”, where the barrier between the world of the living and the world of the dead meet, and sometimes cross over.

Shanti Deva

In 1930, aged 4, Shanti Deva from Delhi, India, told her parents that she had once lived in a place called Muttra (now known as Mathura), that she had been a mother of three, who died in childbirth, and that her previous name was Ludgi. Because the girl continually related the story, her parents investigated. It turned out there was a village called Muttra, and that a woman named Ludgi had recently died there. They took Shanti to the village where she began to speak the local dialect and recognized her previous-life husband and children. She even gave twenty four accurate statements matching confirmed facts about Ludgi’s life. An impressive feat for a four year old.

Pervert sighted in Genting!

I am Handsome Right ??

Saturday 9th April, Genting Pahang : There has been numerous reports by women claiming that there has been a peeping tom at the various toilets in Genting. For the past few weeks officials had been unable to capture the perpetrator until a young gay man with his camera was able to catch the culprit in the act. (Above is the Peeping Tom facebook photo). Below is the exclusive pictures of the perpetrator walking away from the crime scene.

In this picture the Peeping tom is seen leaving the toilet, notice the sign above. It's the girl's toilet, this picture has not been photoshopped or altered in anyway, the peeping tom tries to cover his face in shame of his "ham sup" act.

He realizes that he has been spotted and tries to get his face out of the way, but its too late as the pictures has already been taken, so he tries to make the camera shots look blur by dodging left and right.

He finally relents and pretends to walk away as though he has gone into the wrong toilet, but we all know the truth!. The "Peeping tom of Genting! " is finally caught on camera!

-fs- our trip to genting has bore us this wonderful picture...
