My Tattoos

Hello there!

I'm a tattoo enthusiast not an extremist. I don't consider this as inflicting pain to myself, it's more to pleasure of pain and art at the same time. Yes, it's addictive. Each of my tattoos has a story of their own and meaning behind it.

Still, I choose my tattoo designs and tattooist wisely. I've posted a guide to getting your first tattoo before, so if you haven't check it out, you should. Some of you asked me what inspired me to get my tattoos done, so here goes. Thanks for requesting!

1) Nasty 
Yes, the one and only Nasty of mine. He's a white terrier I got from a flea market. Nasty's 5 years old this year. I got this tattoo 4 years ago. If you're wondering why, simple. It's because I want him with me all the time. I admit, I need his presence. I tattooed this on the calf of my right leg.



2) Happy
Andddd, here's Happy the Dachshund! He's Nasty's sidekick. They are both the love of my life and there's no way in hell I'm NOT gonna tattoo Happy on me. He's adorable and unique in his own way.
If you're wondering how they look in real life, check out their video on Youtube made by my lil' brother Samuel. Nasty and Happy's video.



3) Anonymous / Fawkes Guy / Vendetta 

This is by far the biggest piece I've got. Personally, I'm rebellious. I fight for my rights and freedom. That's why I decided to get this tattoo. V for Vendetta, in the movie, Vendetta is a vigilante fighting for freedom. I'm no vigilante, but take my freedom away from me and I will be. Teeeeheeee!



4) Nathanael

Oh, this is a tattoo of my own name. I sometimes get "Why on earth did you tattoo your name on your leg" or "you're not suppose to because it looks like crap", but honestly from the bottom of my heart, I don't give a single damn. :) I like it, because kids walk up to me say "Hey! It looks like the Coca Cola font".



5) Stephenie
Nuff said, the co-writer who is also my partner :)




6) Maelodee Mirae
I tattooed Maelodee Mirae across my chest. If you're thinking this is my ex girlfriend, you're wrong. This person hasn't exist yet. I had a dream one night, I was caring for a child named Maelodee. I woke up falling in love with the name and decided to get it tattooed across my chest. If ever I'm blessed with a daughter, I'll name her this without doubt. Mirae was a middle name me and Steph thought of to pair nicely with Maelodee.




7) Ukulele
I love music. My whole life revolves around music. I play tons of musical instruments and that includes ukulele. Tralalala falalala.




8) My first tattoo, Gibberish,
People tend to do stupid and naive things when they're young. I'm not excluded. This tattoo is nothing but a simple art and gibberish haha!


Well, that sums up everything. For those who questioned me about my tattoos, I hope you're answered. Let me know in the comment section below, out of my 8 tattoos, which one do you pick as the nicest or at least most descent. Heh!

Again, stay tuned for my upcoming THAILAND post! You are awesome, be nasty and stay happy!
Cheers :)

Labuan Island (Places to visit in Labuan, Part 2)

Well hello there people!

Recently, my internet went bonkers on me so I owe you an apology for not posting the second part of this post sooner. If you haven't check out our first part of this post, here's the link to Labuan Island (Places to visit Part 1).

Also, if you're a party goer, yes I know that Labuan is some sort of a "mini Manila" but I will not be including any night life activities in Labuan into any of my posts. The reason is simple. I've tendered my resignation as a party animal years ago. Besides, I've got kids who view my blog so yea :)

Labuan is filled with historical heritage sites and on the previous post, I've only included 3 places which consists of the Labuan Bird Park, Labuan Beaches and Chimney Museum. In this post, me and my lil' brother Samuel went to 7 places. We basically covered everything.

After the Chimney Museum, we went to Damai Point. Also known as the "Peace Park". This park was the actual place where the Japanese surrendered their weapons during the Hiroshima bombings. All the Japanese soldiers admit defeat and there ended the second world war.

This place is amazingly relaxing and beautiful. Being located near to beaches made it better. There are shop lots next to the park where people would hangout in the evening and eat there while enjoying the sea breeze. Don't miss out the good food and drinks such as "Satays" and "ABC a.k.a Ais Batu Campur" while you're visiting.

After the Damai Point in Layang-Layangan, we went to the Labuan Museum located right in the centre of Labuan City. The history of Labuan Island is there, all of it. Entrance fee: Free.






There's also a marine museum in Labuan. Entrance is also free. It is located in the Sea Sport Complex. Right opposite the Sea Sport Complex, there's a clocktower  known as the Labuan Tower. At certain period of time, it will go ding-dong. 

OH! Not forgetting Pantai Point. As I've said, Labuan is an island. Thus, everywhere you go you'll see beaches. Pantai Point is the beach accessible to and from Sea Sport Complex. Here are some pictures!

There's also another War Memorial located near to Tiara Resort Labuan. It is a memorial site for those who perished to protect Labuan during the World War 2. When we went there, the sky was dark as it was about to rain. I somehow had eerie feelings but it was all good. 





Last but not least, if you're planning to go for a jog or just a walk in the park, Labuan's Botanical Garden is the place for you to be. Just so you know, it is open to public. Here are some pictures of it.




Well, that's it I suppose. Me and Samuel spent 3 days to go to these places and heck it was worth it. If ever you're going to Labuan and need more info, just drop us an email. 

Ahhh it's almost midnight. You'll notice that we normally put up posts right before midnight (Malaysian time), just so you know, we are not nocturnals. We're just dedicated bloggers :)

As always, I thank you for your generous support! Do follow us on Instagram and give a thumbs up on our Facebook page.
