Oxyeleotris marmorata

While in state of boredom, managed to change my header into something more relevant.. and hopefully partially accurate!



The Marble Goby or called Soon Hock (Now i know)

Is a large, solitary, slow-moving fish which rests undisturbed on the bottom of quiet streams, canals and lakes (er...)

It rarely moves (er.. maybe)

Even when disturbed (yeah rite, maybe partially true, annoy me too much and see..)

This fish looks ugly or nasty but tastes very delicious (Ugly?! #.# and ooh yess.., i am delicious in every part!)

It is a very important high economic value fish in Southeast Asia including Thailand, Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia and now in Taiwan and Mainland China (oh yes, high economic value, thats right..)

The Last Leg

Soon Hock is on the last leg on his great South West Road Trip. The weather has been amazing, with spectacular view and fun of 9 in the scale of 10.


Currently in Cardiff staying put for the last journey back to York..


However, he has a tale to tell, that of spectacular views and destinations, one of arthurian legends, one of cornish delights as well as amazing North Indian cuisine.

Day 1: York-Harrogate(Gardens)-Bradford(Kashmir Curry House)-Nottingham

Day 2: Nottingham-Derby(Alton Towers)-Conventry

Day 3: Conventry-Stratford Upon Avon(Shakespeare)-Birmingham(the First Keow Teow in a few months!)-Bristol

DAy 4: Bristol-Dartmouth(Ferry and spectacular moon on the seas)-Plymouth(Port Town)

Day 5: Plymouth-Par-Truro-Panzeance-Land's End(Conquering the most western tip of Britain before the Atlantic)-Portreath Bunk House

Day 6: Portreath Bunk House-A Certain Cornish Cider Farm(Scrumpys)-Newquay(Homemade Cornish Ice Cream)-Padstow(the famous, out of the world Rick Stein's Fish and Chips)-Tintagel(Re-living the Arthurian Legend and getting wowed by the mystical surroundings)-Cardiff

Day 7: was in town for the Cardiff Malaysian Games

Bay 8: Hopefully, Cardiff Castle, Millenium Stadium and Cardiff Bay!

with 7 days of spectacular experience and 7 days of wind shield in the car, Soon Hock has found it hard to adapt to the British gale winds and felt crippled as there is a need to walk.

More is yet to come from a certain digital SLR..Signing off for now..

the 3 stages and the lost 2/3rds...

its no fun being 6000 miles away from home being sick and down...cooking your own sorry porridge..
but eventually after 3 stages have passed, you get to where you want to be..
in my case, i wont stay down...








For BN, they might as well stay down and get hit by a brick... Samy oh Samy...serves them right!
