Secret - Power

2011-10-15T22:18:00.000-07:00

It's been a year since my last post. I guess everyone more fancy in facebook than checking on update in blog post now. Despite of that, i will be still hanging around with my blogspot, once a while...:)

I read a book recently, Secret - The Power by Rhonda Byrne. It's a book that really inspiring, it's a book that worth to read. Enlighten you that the universal is so huge and everyone of is having the power to get thing that they want if he/she understood how this universal works and it's all about power that everyone of us owned.

The rule is very simple, it quite similar with buddhist philosophy. What you gave is what you get. What your thinking right now will attract the thing that with same frequency with what you are thinking, and this thinking will bring you all the people, thing or incident that goes same mode with your thinking. If you had mad on someone, and you are kept feeling the anger inside you, you are attracting more n more things that keep you feel even more worse. This is because when your thinking on a bad emotion, you are at the frequency of having this bad feeling and every other thing that on the same frequency will come to you. Just that simple!

There is another good point from the book that worth sharing. Always appreciate thing that you have had. Every liltle thing like today you can have a healthy body and free time to surf net, it's something that you can appreciate. You should not only appreciate when you get something extraordinary. You can thankful that every morning you can wake up in good health and can have a non problematic car to drive to work. Even when your car broke down, you may think gratefully that your car had gave you a good service so far. By doing this, you will have good feeling and emotion at the beginning of the day. And if you kept appreciate every thing for the rest of the day, you will be getting good feeling all day and that keep you in good frequency and all the good things will come along. That is best thing that you hope and wish for, isn't it?

If so, keep the rule, remember it and practice it. No lose to experience it, find out and reveal the truth of the book says. I still want to emphasis here, what you gave is what you get. So if you want to get thing that you want, you need to give other thing that they want.

Terrified...

I was listening to the MP3 played in my car, i like to volume it up and singing along the way i am back home from work. It was a little jam like it always be near the edge of the Penang bridge towards Seberang Jaya.

While i am singing the Backstreetboys's song and out of sudden, i stare blankly on what just happen in front of me, it is just 200 metres from where i drove, and my mouth couldn't sing out anymore.

There is a Kelisa turned out to right side as the way towards the junction lead to Seberang Jaya mosque. This sudden move had caused the a motorcyclist to shift to right side to avoid the car. The Kelisa driver (i think) did not aware the motorcyclist at the side. Things happened so damn fast, by the time i am describing this, motorcyclist was not able to control his motor and fall down on the road and.........

This is hard for me to describe, i do not want to memorize this scene, this terrible scene. Unfortunately there is a big lorry moving just right the location where the motorcyclist is fallen, and...(sorry i do not want to describe) and by the time i passed by the accident spot, the motorcyclist was lying on the road with a blooding stomach.

I was so shocked, but i know i need to be careful driving as traffic is kinda mess at that moment. But i still can't calm down myself with what i had seen for some times. After a while, i know i need to do something, i put on handfree, dial 211 to call for help. But i guess i am too slow, there is already someone else that make the call.

This is the first time i seen with my own eyes on how accident is happened. The first time, but the terrified one. I then realize the danger of ridding motorcycle on road, especially on the highway. I also wanted to blame the Kelisa driver, turn out in sudden causing the motorcyclist suffer badly. I do not know how is the condition of the motorcyclist but i do pray for him to be able to rescue. I really hope so....and you, please pray for him as well. I thank you u.

Eastin Hotel Japanese Buffet...

2009-12-09T22:24:00.000-08:00

It's a new opening hotel in Penang island and me and "tham chiak" colleagues decided to take a try on its Friday Japanese buffet. The cost RM65 + 10% + 5% (government & service taxes). If you have Citibank/Maybank/AMEX credit card, you will get 10% discount then. :-)

We went on public holiday, 27th Nov and initially the staff @ payment counter said there is no discount on public holiday, somehow i think due to new opening and also to provide good impression to customer, they say yes at last.

The buffet start from 6pm to 10.30pm, when see at a glance, there is not much variety of japanese dishes being served. Basically there are 4 sections, main course section, Teppanyaki section, dessert & sashimi section and coffee, tea & ice cream section.

@ Main Course section, What do we got here? okay, we have Kushiyaki (串烧), Tempura (vege & shrimp), fish fillet with fresh vege, Miso soup, cooked conger eel fillet (鳗鱼), fried rice, fried noodles, smoked salmon head, cawamushi & Beef. The food taste of this section? I would give poor comment on the Miso soup (not taste like miso soup) & Tempura (never refill the shrimp) :( but the cooked conger eel fillet (鳗鱼) is good.

@ Teppanyaki section, we can choose either chicken or fish for chef to cook for you on the spot. Beside the teppanyaki, there is sushi roll corner where the chef is "rolling" the hand roll. The food taste of this section? The Teppanyaki is nice to eat. :-)

@ Dessert & Sashimi section, it's more variety of dishes compare to the other three. I like the dessert the most as they serve a lot of delicious cakes, especially cheese cake, green tea cake & banana carrot slice. For the sashimi, we only can have 2 kind --> red tuna and salmon. On the serve table, there are some other dishes like octopus on tart, 凉面 and few types of sushi rolls, salads & fruits.

@ Coffee, Tea & Ice Cream section, we can have hot tea, coffee and 5 type favour of ice cream with standard topping. THere is no green tea except you ask the waiter or waitress to serve you one.

Overall, I would not rate the buffet high as the not much variety of japanese food is served there. I didn't see the sign of udon, grill saba fish, teriyaki unagi or ika which are all my favourites.

Here are my rates: 5 stars the most

Food Variety 3 stars

Food Refill 2 stars

Food Taste 3 stars

Service 4 stars

We had wrote down our feedback on the food and hopefully this was take into consideration by the hotel management. If you happen to try it after mine and found improvement on food & service, do drop me a note. Thanks first ya!!! :D

Swift real swift >>>>>>>

2009-12-09T00:37:00.000-08:00

Finally i had bought it, my new car fair white SWIFT in 15th September this year. Start my research and survey in mid of July, was wandering between car model - Toyota Vios, Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Getz & Honda City. As i am budgeting my purchase price within 60k to 70k ++, i have to exclude out those car model that exceeding this price range, even i am really fancy new Honda Jazz, light blue sea color, my dream car..probadly that will be my next car. :p

Being dreaming to own sporty car like Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Latio, Hyundai Getz & Swift, but those car prices are real expensive, either near or over 100k, more expensive than aeroback car except for Hyundai Getz & Swift. Hyundai Getz is the first that i drop out from the purchase list as it ease lots of fuel and required high maintenance cost.

Then weekend in those months, was being busy, walk in those Toyota Vios, Suzuki Swift & Honda City car dealer, comparing the car price and deal from each dealer. I need a car with at least with standard safety facility and most important is within my budget price range, and not lack of style or sporty feature. And so and so and so.....i chose SUZUKI SWIFT. :D

After decision made, it is headache time to think of what color to select. I first fancy at red color after viewing its broucher showing red chili shining swift, so charming! But then when view actual car in real, it was actually melon color which a way out of my expectation. It took 1 night to wander what color is the best, tell me if you also have the same experience like me..hee.....

And finally i change my initial color - blue to white (not pearl white but fair white), i am picking blue color upon car purchasing. I know i am a bit indecisive in this case. :p

I am officially drive on my fair white Swift on 12th October. Everything became easier and faster right now, and i finally realize why the car named as such, cause it's really swift! like a fast wind!!
Here are reason why you need to choose Swift: Not offencing other car model...
1. Keyless entry start (with immobiliser)
--> This is just the right feature that suit me very much, i no need to take car key in and out neither starting the car engine nor lock or unlock the car, as long as the remote is within the workable area.
2. High speed performance car
-> Good pick up and high speed performance car, that's why it called swift...
3. Car Stability
--> The curb weight is 1030kg, that's mean the car is very stabil when go on bumpy road.
4. Fuel Consumption
--> 14 cents per km, quite ok for me.
5. Car Height 1510mm
--> This height figure is a way higher than other cars like city, vios and etc....And it just suit a tall gil like me. :)
6. 6 speakers
--> For a gil that pretty much love music like me, it keep me awake when i felt sleepy while driving.

And this car also come with almost the full spec of other car model such as:
Dual Airbags
ABS & Brake assist
Audio control on power steering
Retractable side mirror with signal indicator
Information display in terminal - fuel consumption & outside temperature
Electromagnetic tailgate opener
Foldable rear seat

Okay, here is my fair white SWIFT.

"Cari Makan" @ Pulau Aman 18 July 2009

2009-07-22T06:49:00.000-07:00

9 sharp in the morning, i had woke up to prepare myself heading to Pulau Aman, an island that situated @ Tambun. Honestly i never heard of this island before and since there is email forwarding saying it is a place that famous with Mee Udang, so we never want to let go any chances of good food, decided to have a try. :-)

We a group of 9 peoples gathered @ roadside just before the roundabout that turn in to Tambun Jetty and when everyone is arrived, clock already ticked @ 10++am. Hamba is leading us from the gather place to Tambun jetty. We first turn in 9 O'clock of roundabout and drive for about 5 minutes time. After that we came to a red soil road that seem to be having some construction as lorries are back and forth on the road.

And you can see from below picture, the red soil is flying upwards after car drive through, and you can imagine how's our car be, yea...it is a mess dirt with red soil covered up all part of the car. That's not all, we thought we can reach the jetty after a short while but the further we drive in, the sign of jetty is hardly to see. Then, we realized we are in the wrong path. Holy cow!

Here we are, 9 of us...:-)

At last, and finally we reached the jetty. We took some shots here...

While we walking toward jetty, we saw many jelly fishes in the water.

To reach the floating restaurant, we need to take engine boat for about 15 minutes journey time, the ticket cost us RM6 for 2 way. Here it is, the floating restaurant that famous with its Mee Udang.

And then we discovered there is a school located on this Pulau Aman.

Here is the overall map of Pulau Aman.

And there are actually a lot of chalet or acommodation (including the school), real cheap! Some only cost RM150 for 10 persons.
Wow, a lot of people here. We thought it must be very delicious at the glance. First we ordered of course the Mee Udang and Mee Goreng.
After the try, mm...most of us felt "so so" nia not as delicious as stated in the forwarded mail. Okay, the "kuah" of the Mee Udang is quite nice but by the time we eat it, the "kuah" already get cold.
Other than these 2 dishes, hamba went to order the mantis prawn at the corner just before the entry to the restaurant. Look, the mantis prawn is still alive!

And all i can say, these mantis prawn are fresh and yea...taste good! :-)

Each of us have 2 mantis prawn and thought that is the best taste dish of the day. Overall i can conclude that Pulau Aman is small village with a few populations live on the island. There is no water activity here but you can explore a few spots on the island like Telaga Mas, Kubur Purba, Jungle Trekking & fishing... (Refer to the map) As for us, we still need to hunt food at other place, so we left after lunch.

Michael Jackson -- A Legend

2009-07-06T07:56:00.000-07:00

Michael Jackson, is not just a singer, an artist but he is a symbolic of music industry, at least when i say this, half of the population in the world is agree with me. He, like born to be an artist, singer, so unique and distinct way of singing with his very natural beautiful voice and his very own hiccups. I was so surprise and couldn't believe that when the news of Michael Jackson death on last week, and i just post one of his music video - Earth song in my previous posted blog.

I love MJ so much, i like all of his master pieces, every songs that sang by him, there is none that not touching my heart. His manager in an interview in Channel V, said there is gonna be noone else that can replace MJ's place in music industry, and we will not find anyone like MJ ever in the industry. And i say "Even there is someone else that is, noone can ever replace the MJ' place in my heart."

I had been listening to all of his album songs since the day of his death until today, from the Hitz fm, Channel V, Tribute to MJ in MTV and Youtube.com. I listen to it again and again and i even sing the songs in my mind, it is like a cd player in my head, playing his songs one after one. I like MJ's dance, no, i should say i stuned with his dances, his very own style, the Billy Jeans with his trademark, white glove, skinny not-so-long pant, so that we can see his white socks, hat covering his face, so mistery but so great with his every movements, of his own creation. And the moonwalk, noone can ever think of this mysterious dance ever, and the 45 degree of standing without touching anything, wow, we are not just talking about an singer but a person, a great man that never stop thinking of anything that he could have to surprise us in his musical performance.

I thought people that work harder than others gain things that other does not have, but MJ had unfortunately lose his life in his very young age. I am sure a lot of his fans will be very sad having him, leaving this world. But even though we had lost him, he will always be in my heart. I will listen to his "You are not alone", in the song lyric it wrote:

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

MICHAEL JACKSON, you will always in my heart......ALWAYS

Our planet - EARTH...

2009-06-19T06:53:00.000-07:00

There is one place, you stand on it, you walk on it, it shelter you with layers of green leaf and woody stem, giving you enough fresh air, breathing to survive. You had taken most of its possesion without permission for you own needs - food, place of shelter, cloth to warming up your cool body and water to relieve thirsty. And now you want to own it more for your demands - dig hole on it, felling the trees, flowing toxin and chemical material into all part of it's area, and more cruel, killing its natural creatures for making the so call "fashion" garments.

This place called EARTH. Before you intend to do anything bad on it, watch this!

And now go ahead....

Hey, what about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about the bleeding Earth
Can't we feel its wounds
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb
What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants
Have we lost their trust
What about crying whales
We're ravaging the seas
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man
Can't we set him free
What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again
Do we give a damn

This idea came from 3 ladies - the co-founders - Sandy Grason, Lilou Mace, Laura Duksta with their community called CCOR (Co-creating Our Reality). This community is actually a global community involved 125 countries that putting the law of attraction and other universal laws to the test.

Law of Attractions...

2009-06-01T06:24:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, do you ever heard of Law of Attractions? Do you ever listen to "The Secret"?
I first were wondering what is all about the law of attractions until i came across to the below video in Youtube. At the end i felt this is something that good to share, and the most that i gained is i had found the secret of the universe law called - LAW OF ATTRACTIONS. :-)

Well, how to begin? Just a little introduction before you explore into the video clip. It is all about the powerful of human mind and thought. A lot of people do not know that when they think of something that they desire, they are actually attracting those things to come into their life. And in the other way round, if they think on all the bad thing or how bad their day was, they are actually attracting more and more negative things to be happen.

THOUGHT - become - THING <-- what you really think in mind can become a reality!

And our feeling will let us know what we are thinking. There are good and bad feeling, obviously you knew it already. But do you ever know that when you celebrate a good feeling, you are atrracting to you more good feeling and the things that make you feel good. If you feel good, then you are good, keeping it that.

A simple swifting of your emotion can change your entire day or life! Yea, i find this is true!

You can feel whatever you want to feel, eventhough you don't have any reason for it, like you can feel that you are lucky, you are happy....and the universe will correspond to your inner feelings...because you feel it that way!

Okay, here you are, the clip of philosophy from various professionals, from author, philosopher, enterpreteur to metaphysician - The Law of Attractions!
And you really need to make sure you have at least 20 minutes time for this ya!

And this clip, is more on the positive thinking that you shall keep in mind which make you feel all the good things around you, all the good things that you want and the great you that you want to become!

My Granny....

2009-05-24T07:37:00.000-07:00

My granny...Sometimes she stubborn like a rock, but sometimes she just got her way to make you laugh with her sense of humor. And some of my friends said i do have sense of humor and i guess i inherit a little from her. :-)

Granny had got stroke on last year and left side her body cannot function as usual. And she had started her physical therapy at BM 1 month + ago. Each of her son/daughter take rotating to fetch granny to the centre and me, is the one that responsible to fetch her on every Saturday.

Well, it was a not-so-big physical therapy centre as part of the section is allocated for doctor consultancy. Inside there, almost the people that getting the therapy treatment are old folks just like my granny. As i said in the opening of the blog, granny sometimes do not listen to people when the stubbornness get into her head but i felt i am more lucky than others start from the time i met with some old folks that really really with more serious "attitude problems", :-)

There is a father of a son, i think in the age of 70++ came every Saturday for treatment. Everyone that taking the therapy need to go through a treatment where a few of sand packs - i guess it is around 5kg - will be put on their hand and this is to stretch the nerve of the hand making it straight instead of holding the finger tight in as fist. And this man, we called him "kan nam" (in cantonese means difficult) why? As every time in every treatment session, he will be saying "hou kan nam ah!" (very difficult/very hard to do).

That's not all, when he felt pain, the poor his son will be suffer. He will be asking his son to remove the sand packs but if he refused, he will straight away put out his fist (the other hand that works) on his son body. And the poor son, the "victim of his old man criminal" have no way but enduring the old man patiently. But my granny, although sometimes she felt sad and pathetic on her condition right now still craft a big smile on her face watching the "criminal" took place.

And there is another similar situation happened on a couple, an old lady and his husband, latter is getting the therapy treatment. Same thing, the old man making noises refusing to stretch his leg and the whole centre wouldn't be in peace since the minute he walked in. hee....
And so the wife, i believe she want all the best for her man, beating his husband like a mother hitting a son.

Now that's why i say i am more lucky compares to others. And now, granny 's condition is getting better and better. I do hope so much that she will be recover soon. As a woman that never parsimonious to give her love not only to her children but her grandchild, she deserve that... *v*

Weekly Romantic: 05/04/2009 - 05/10/2009
VIRGO
August 23-September 22

All things romantic make a very sweet kind of sense at the beginning of the week, with you sitting pretty right in the middle. A plan you make now carries this good vibe into the future. Then, on Wednesday or Thursday, you can make quite a splash with your significant other or someone new you're wanting to impress -- just showcase your personal style while backing it up with substance. Your heart's ruling your head this weekend, which makes for some impetuous, intense action. Try to listen to someone a little more grounded.

That is the astrology prediction for me on next week. But seem like it is incorrect even at the 1st sentence. 2nd sentence, mm....yea, there is a plan of mine, i will remember this sentence and see in future whether it does carries good vibe to me. :-）3rd sentence, Wednesday or Thursday which just a few days to come, it said i could impress other or someone new. Aha...Yet to check that out! Last 2nd sentence, watch out cause i m going to act some impetuous stuff. If it is, forgive me cause my heart is spinning round by my emotion. haha!!!

Well, not to say i am an astrology believer. But I like to check out what astrology prediction for me and VERIFY whether it is true or not. For most of the time it does not reflected correctly things in my life but there are times it does predict well. I take this as my reference and take the good things out and filter the bads, hee....If you want to check that out as well like me, logon to http://www.astrology.com/, just put your first name and birthdate, and you shall get a free horoscope reading, ;-)

MTV - Memories in Thailand

Island Hopping Trip 13-17 Mar 09 Day 6

2009-04-06T06:32:00.000-07:00

Alright, it comes to our last day of our trip, happy moment past real fast, our journey on Ko Rok, Phi Phi & Phuket had come almost to the end. We got flight to catch @ initial time - 6.25pm, so we need to be @ Phuket airport by 2 hours earlier, 4pm.

To spend our time until the 4pm, Hamba suggest to have one more massage before leave, so all of us except Sultan went to look for cheap massages...And we had found one shop nearby beach which have enough staffs to serve for 8 of us.

6 of us wanna do foot massages & the other 2 is doing full body massages.

This is the face before the sorely massages....

Don't underestimate this skinny girl, her strength is powerful enough to make you in vital mode.
The press at the acupuncture point is so great until all our exhaust had flown to thousand miles away...:-)

We will then heading for shopping at Central Festival Mall.

Do we look alike, most of the people say yes...:-)

After that we were heading to Old Phuket Town which situated in the center of Phuket Island.

Me on the street...

And we had a delicious lunch @ Old Phuket Town, something we all very familiar with - "hokkien char", "char tua pan", "cheng teng mee" & otak-otak.

At airport...too much free time as our flight had retimed from 6.25pm to 7.40 and again to 8.15pm....

So, we had some snacks and the young grasshopper had taken lots of photo of us. And i like the last 2 photoes...:-)

What face expression also got....

That's it. We gotta say good bye to Phuket. Unforgetable trip with the "royal family members"...

i missed it so much already....i still flitting over & over again the trip photoes...and laugh...i am crazy but i am just me...the one that still flashing back those sweet memories in Thailand...

Island Hopping Trip 13-17 Mar 09 Day 5

2009-04-05T03:30:00.000-07:00

It is Day 5 of the trip.
We had ourselves enough for swimming & snorkeling on seas. We felt we should moving back on land for other activities. We wake up quite late & went out for breakfast @ 9 am. The Jan & Kan Sea Hotel staff told us there is a famous chicken rice nearby, so of course we went for a try.

We ordered chicken rice and “sha bi” – “tu ka”, “siao ba” & “cha siu”. The food, thumb up! That costs us 80baht per person, good price!

After breakfast, we were heading to Beaches below Patong Beach --> Karon Beach & Kata Beach. Honestly, these beaches are more clean and beauty than Patong Beach. Just take a look at below photos and you will feel the same as me. Oh forgot to say, this whole day trip around Phuket Town costs us 100baht per person only.

Karon Beach

Cool ha?

Kata Beach

Then we were heading to the Karon View Point. Here we can see the Karon beach nice view from hill.

See the Big white Buddha, neh..on top of the hill…

OK, this group of people trying to pamper me so that their face can be snap into my camera. But I am not quite satisfy, see my face… ;-)

About noontime, we went to Big Buddha, we need to move up hill to reach there. The minibus driver took us safer than the one we had when on the way to Hatyai Kastam.
Here is some of the scene view that I took.

And then we came to Wat Chalong, the most historical temple in Phuket.

After the entire visit, it comes to lunchtime. Initially we see none except us that dine in this beachside restaurant, thought their dishes must be “so so nia”. But once we tried, we realize we can’t judge thing from the outside – as the food is really delicious! Especially the shrimp paste eat with raw vege, tom yam soup & squid is just suit our appetite, dunno is it we were hungry, hee…:-)

After the lunch, we ask driver to drive us to do either spa or massage during the way back to our Hotel. The driver must be thinking we are the luxury tourist, brought us to those high class body treatment center.
Later, we just gave up but to find the cheaper massage place by ourselves. And we found one after we clean up ourselves @ Hotel, that costs us 250baht for 1-hour full body massage. After the massage, we fill up our stomach at the roadside stalls. As you can see, we never miss out our favorite dish – Tom Yam soup…:-)

And we took a walk @ the Phuket night bar street but the weather is always wanna give us trouble as it became to rain. So we again run for shelter and we found this Hotel.
We then rest in it and we were so creative enough to take the cool & funny photos we ever had in the trip.
See for yourself…

Our Day 5 end with a walk through Phuket street to our Hotel.

Island Hopping Trip 13-17 Mar 09 Day 4

2009-04-05T01:05:00.000-07:00

It is Day 4 of the trip. We had decided to move in into new hotel – Jan & Kan Sea Hotel with additional 100baht compare to first night hotel in Phuket – Chong Ko Hotel as this hotel more like a hotel and lobby served us with free internet.

Early in the morning, around 7am we already woke up as we need to check out by 8 and move in new Hotel. Due to we need to meet the time to depart to James Bond daytrip destinations, we had a quick breakfast – cup noodles. Eventhough it is just a cup noodles, but we still love it.

Our James Bond Island daytrip include: Cost: 1100baht
Rawa Island --> Cave exploring --> James Bond Island --> Viking Cave (adventurous le!)

Before come to the first destination, we need to sit on minibus to the Phang Nga Bay, as you can see from the map below, it is out of Phuket Island already, it is located at Thai mainland. Here is the view @ the Phang Nga bay.

Ok, we are on the cruise now. Lot of foreigner tourists are with us, and lots of the cruise crews as well and they are good in entertaining us!

The crews are funny and tried all sort things to cheer you up, served you drinks, making humorous jokes. And the most happiest gal in this trip falls to Miao Miao as she received lots of gifts from the handsome crews…And there is a love sparks here…here, you can see.

Our toes is saying “Hie” to you!

This is our cruise…

Our first Stop – Rawa Island
We sit on kayak to reach the Island. It is not quite happening bay compare to Phuket Bay but it is a nice place for you to relax and swimming. :-)

Our Second Stop – Cave exploring
The crews brought us with kayak to explore the dark cave. It is real dark in there and our crew – Monkey, had showed us with unique stone shape inside the cave like elephant baby, a human face and etc. Monkey also showed us the crystal shine stone on the cave ceiling, guess that’s the extra bonus that I have due to Miao Miao, kam sia ha ah Miao!

After the second stop, we served with this delicious food for our lunch. ;-) Fish is good, soup is good, squid is good, ok we never complaint the Thai food so far except for Day 2 lunch – the dry fried rice with no drink serve some more. :-(

Our Third Stop – James Bond Island
James Bond Island, found fame through the 1974 Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun".

Someone is imitating the movie scene…Since when we have female James Bond?

Some of the shoots we took in this island.

Can you stand like this without fall?

Our Forth Stop – Viking Cave
Wow, this is the most adventurous cave exploring that I ever had. We were asked whether to kayak ourselves or by crew, due to Miao Miao & me do not know how to kayak, we get the crew to serve us. Some of the gang kayak themselves and have fun on it even though some were stuck with stone during kayaking, heh heh.

But me and Miao Miao had more adventurous cave exploring as the crew brought us through many tiny small cave where we need to bend down our body to pass through. And we were surprised when our big guys can pass through those tiny small cave by kayaking themselves, bravo, guys! You got to see the below photos as you really can’t imagine it only with my wordings.

Alright! All of us survived and none stuck in the cave, this is the victory photo of us!

After the cave exploring, we even have coconut drinks to quench our thirsty. But the weather change so extremely fast, the black cloud covered up the blue sky, and we know that there will be rain at any of the time from now.

** OK, when reach the jetty, we again ran in the rain. In this trip I learned, an umbrella is a must thing to bring on the trip. **

Having our dinner after a clean up ourselves in Hotel.

And that’s our Day 4 end with a tired soul. This night, I slept so well….

After pass through the above entrance, we realized we had entered an fantasy world. It is like a playground in an fantasy world, we took a lots of shots of this "Wonderland". kekeke...

Then we walk through this bridge with lotus on the water below for our buffet dinner...:-)

And a syncronization performance by human with cabel hanging up high on the ceiling.

It is a 5D4N trip but turn into 6D5N island hopping trip, "thanks" to FIREFLY for extending our trip!?!?

We start our journey real early and when reach Sg dua toll, it is already 3.30am. By the time we reach the Kastam, it is just 4.30am. Driver was crazy, drive us in a high speed, in his own "stuntman" way, we realize our life in dangerous and i can't sleep along d way with having this pro driver along. Cost: 5500baht per van.

By the time we reach Pak Meng Jetty, already 9.15am. V have our seafood porridge, real delicious.

We sit on speedboat (v had ugrade from long tail boat to speedboat..believe me..better!) heading to Ko Rok claimed to be the best island in Andaman sea.

After the snorkeling & lunch, we were tired & our stomach were full. While the speedboat heading to Phi Phi Island, we slept like a dead fish..hee....

It took one & a half hour to reach Phi Phi. By the time we reach, it is almost 4.30pm.
While we waiting for the Hotel Staff to lead us to the earlier book Hotel - Golden Hill Hotel, we took some shoots.

After about 20 minutes time, the hotel staff came with trolly to carry our luggages and we need to follow them to our Hotel. We can't believe that we need to go pass number of streets and up hill some more before can even reach our Hotel. Some of our friends called it as Go To xxll Hotel. :-p

We passed through this Dam on the way walk to Hotel, we then realize we are going to use this water for our bathing & washing. So little? Enough?

Finally we reached our Hotel.

Go To xxll Hotel <-- They even have no water when we were in the middle of bathing, how terrible!? And some more in website they called this as Fan(tastic) room, sauna room got la...*~*

After found out from the Hotel staff, we then realize the Hotel is depending on rains water on the Dam before pump it to our room. And if there is no raining, then we will "eat grass". Anyway, we still need to hunt for food even some of us un satisfy with the Hotel condition.

We still eat happily despite of the mishap in the evening.

Me, Sultan, King Kong & Jessie ordered the "Traffic Light" curries - red, green & yellow curries...

We then have a night walk @ Phi Phi streets....Lots of things to see, from the humorous T-shirt, to jewellery & even art works....

After the walk, we head back to Hotel hoping for water to bath but unfortunely i am in the third person to bath & no water supply after the 2nd person. Thus，i would to use the bathroom near lobby and clean myself with wet towel. Go To xxll Hotel, no next time, please...

Deep Inside Her....

2009-03-07T07:02:00.000-08:00

The gal, a young charming gal who always dream of her white horse prince to come to her one day, that moment, she waited for so long, haven't turn into reality yet. She didn't push too much for that scene to become reality, afterall she knew this is beyond of her control, wat she can do is only still hoping, still believing, still wishing and dreaming......still....

Everyday she walked down the street, she had her daily routine, taking her favourite coffee and toast for breakfast before work. She try to find happiness in any way dat she could, dat makes her easy to be excited even with a tiny little cares or words from others, she easily to get satisfy...

She once met with a guy that she first thought he is the one. He brings her where ever she want to be, he never miss a single chance to let her be alone when she needed him, he is always being there to spare her a shoulder when she tired or down. And where ever he go, he wanted her to be with him for most of the time...until...until he break his promises to her and left her drowning in tears...

She being hurt so deep, but she also missing the time when she is being love, being comfort, being pamper. She never wanna hope for other things except this, she wish get all the nice moments back, the moment she fall in love, but with the right person, her waited long prince.

Need More Passage?

2009-02-28T09:33:00.000-08:00

Hey, ask for more? You can go in http://stellalblmovie.blogspot.com/ or My Cineplex link and scroll down for more meaningful and darn true passage...

Meaningful Passage

2009-02-23T06:36:00.000-08:00

" Thing is not always fair in the world, that’s just the way it is.
But for most of the part, you get what u give.
Let’s me ask you all a question, what’s worst, not getting everything you wish for?
Or getting it but finding it is not enough?
The rest of your life is being shape right now.
With the dream that you chase, with the wish that you make, and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time, and the rest of your life start right now. "

That is one of the meaningful passage that i gained from the One Tree Hill series Season 5, Episode 1. Read it, think about it, again and again, you will find it is true, this passage is so darn true! All the things that you had done before and now, it is going to shape the beyond you in future.
If you always not to listen to your parents, not obeying them, please don't feel upset when they stop caring on you one day.
If you don't take care of your lover feeling and keep on hurting he/she, please don't feel sad when she leave you alone.
If you don't put your heart into the any of the relationship - friend, family, please don't feel bad when they disgrace you one day.

What you did in the past is actually shaping you as a person that you will become in coming days. What you had gain right now is usually something that you gave before in the past.
Had your heart to the people that matter to you, and you will get it back in return, don't selfish of your love, it can be as expand as the size that you can't even imagine, and it can be as small as it ever can be. It is all depends on you, what person you want to be? It is all just depends on you......

A "healthy" weekend...

2009-02-14T18:47:00.000-08:00

Remember my previous blog which talk on going back early before the time Cinderella turn back to its original, i am keeping this so well after a week the blog wrote. But that make me gotta "put aeroplane" on Friday movie date, sorry guys!

This Sunday, before the sun crawl out, i had already woke up to put on my sport shoes (i can't remember when is the last time i used it) hee...ya, i had a morning jog with my friend @ beachside near my house. It is a starting of my healthy life, looking @ the past few months, i am really a lazy bug, totally do not pratice any of the exercises or sports, except swepting the floor (that's count?) It felt so good after the jog, i suddenly felt i am healthier than before, ok, may be it is just a effect of the psychological but afterall i get my bone, muscle and all part of body a stretch, "they" been not workout for a while. ;-)

And strange, the exercise didn't get fall to sleep even i woke up around 6.30am but kept me so awaken a whole day, and i m in a full energy on chasing my favourite America series - One Tree Hill season 5 which i downloaded from the web. Ok, this is the best series i ever chased, i m getting addicted to this series, one of the reason is i like Chad Michael Murray, the main star of this series...and 2nd is the series visualized the life of a group of buddies in a small place called One Tree Hill, @ North of Carolina, from their highschool life, the close relationship between best friends and lovers, the complication of 3 triangle love - 2 best friends in love with 1 same guy, the great personalities of each star, the good and bad that could even happen in our life, till the time the buddies is graduated and searching for their real mean in their life and most great part of the series which inspired me the most is the meaningful quotes/phrases that enclosed together that really inspiring and full of enlightment. And for myself, i like to be motivated, that's really a perfect series for me. :-)

OK, at this point, you get to see stars' photo. In the movie, the main character, Lucas Scott wrote his life in a book, and i am going to write a chapter on this series, real soon...

2008-12-10T04:43:00.001-08:00

As promise, i am blogging on the Ipoh food hunt with the same gang that attended the CC's wedding. :-) Not pretty much we had ate actually, we went to 富山for dim sum, the "siu mai" and "mo mai kai" was good and the "char shao pao" too.

Due to too full, we went to Jusco to burn our calories...Some of us had a great deal with our purchase items, of course end up as happy customer. After that, we heading to 旧街场 kopitiam, yeah! white coffee, my favourite drink lately...love it very much, taste so good! And we had "koay teow teng" and "ga choi kai" (in kantonis), the "koay teow teng" is similar to the one that we can have in Old Town @ anywhere. The "ga choi kai", mm.....just so so only....

Time to burn our calories again, we went to Perak Cave Temple. It is been a long time i didn't step in here, the temple is still as beautiful as it used to be.

The Outside.....

Inside......

With the little walk in Perak Cave Temple, we still felt full and we plan to head home. On the way we stop @ rest place and we are so lucky to meet the TVB celebrity - 食神，Man Tou. What else, we grab him for photo.....

After the photo shooting, Man Tou ask us whether we know his name, of course we do and he smile big as he scared we thought he is 蔡澜。；-） Also we found out later on, he is doing program @ Ipoh food hunt together with 官恩娜。 But we don't have chance to see her. :(

Well, it is really time for home, colid brought me home with his special car, a car that you hardly find nowadays. Remember when small and when u first learn to draw a car, ya that kind of car, square square one... Take a look!

Car with no air-con but little tiny fan with noise....stune?!

It is 3 days holiday on last weekend, it is also one of the big day for my gal fren, colid as well, CC's wedding which held @ Sungai Siput, Perak. Me & another 9 colids went over in 3 cars for her wedding celebration.

Colids was smart, didn't lost when on the journey to Sg. Siput but we U-turn for several times. *_* We start our journey from Juru tol @ 1pm and it took 1 hour to reach Kuala Kangsar and we had met the bride @ our accommodation, a house that not far from her house.

Due to still have plenty of time before the wedding dinner, we had some snack and do some shopping @ the boutique shop that we "found". After that, we take a short rest and started to get ourselves ready for the dinner that start @ 7pm, early ha? Ya, Sg. Siput wedding dinner start @ this early time. :-）

We really have a great dinner that night, do you believe that we had a total of 10 dishes served for the night? Ya, you didn't see wrongly and i didn't write wrongly. The dishes was in big portion except for 1 dish, so you can imagine that the food had filled up our stomach until our throat, hee...

After the dinner....

The next day, we went to "keh poh" @ bride's house. Seem like we are the first guest, and the bridegroom reached so in time, but unbelievable thing is the PIC for open door task was not around, the bride's youngest brother. Pitty bridegroom, waited in the car, couldn't come out until 10.00am when the PIC is ready. After the bridegroom and his "heng tai" sastified the "ji mui" demandsssss, we were able to see our CC, she is so pretty in her gown, of course with her handsome white horse prince...:-)

Bangkok & River Kwai Trip

2008-07-21T01:17:00.000-07:00

四个ladies拿着luggages往着River Kwai 这个从未知道, 位于泰国西南部，接近缅甸的一条河。去之前，还在幻想哪儿会有“毛毛”的东西吗？只因那儿是第二世界大战的地方，上十万多人为了建筑Death Railway 而丧失了生命。

第一天，接近午餐时间就到达曼谷机场。搭了德士花了45分钟到达我们的酒店，Bangkok City Suite，是我的同事介绍的。房间还不错，很干净！

过后，开始shopping啦。一走出酒店门口，被一个热情地Tut Tut司机叫住了。一上车，司机很开心地与我们交谈，介绍我们那里好吃，他听说我们要去River Kwai，还叫我们怎样搭火车去，话可说个不停阿!从Pratunum在我们到MBK，等我们吃晚饭又载回Pratunum，只收40Bath,真是遇到好人呀！

隔一天，6点就起床了。Travel Agent已经在lobby等我们了。从曼谷坐巴士花了近三小时才到达River Kwai, 导游带领我们到River Kwai Bridge。走进去看，原来是火车路。这有五十年历史的桥，仍然稳稳的屹立在那儿让不同国家的游客参观。

桥下的景色是多么的诱人啊！

过后，我们到达了War Cemetery, 是一个纪念着在建造Death Railway 期间不幸逝死的战争奴人。这些奴人都是在第二世界大战后被关进监牢里的。有些都很年轻。

再过后，我们坐了travel agent 为我们安排的“长尾船”，用了接近一小时才到达我们早前上网预定的River Kwai Jungle Rafts。

这个浮在河面上的resort, 不！应该说世外桃源！我一眼就爱上这里了。：-）

这位姑娘就是我们这次River Kwai Trip的揭发者。；-）

忘了说，River Kwai Jungle Rafts 是没有电源的。可空气及气候都是清凉，一整天都不感觉到闷热。

这，这回归到大自然的感觉，实，实在太好了！

吃完泰式午餐，就出发到Hell Pass Fire Memorial。Hell Pass Fire其实是Death Railway 的其中一段火车路，使用人力来钻像山状坚固的石头所铺的路。由于当时日夜赶工，连晚上也点着火钻地，所以名为Hell Pass Fire。

回到River Kwai Jungle Rafts，开始玩水的时候了。嘿，转过来笑一笑！

河水好冷，看朋友玩水的那么自在，忍不住与另两个朋友也跳下水（慢慢的）。河的水一直流，蛮快的，一会儿把我们漂到不远处。每间房前的前院都有楼梯式的把柄，三个ladies像慌张的小鱼，怕被河流冲走，紧紧的捉住把柄。实在太淤了！

可，这位孩子不是玩得不亦乐乎吗？

我们River Kwai的导游 - Blai, 又年轻，又帅！

晚餐，同样的吃泰式，我们没选欧式的。吃饱后，与着来自Belgium的兄弟合照。哥哥好坏哦！

隔一天，平时爱赖床的我反而没呆在床上，很早就爬起来了。这应该是昨晚睡得好，的确非常宁静，只听到河流声。

早晨的风景好漂亮，山上有层层白白的雾，把它拍了下来。

早晨，我们参观Mon村。是处于Resort后的深林里。是由这条小竹桥通往乡村的。乡村里的孩子们只在这么一个敞开的小亭上课。他们个个都很乖巧。

过后，我们还乘坐火车通过悬崖呢！

火车窗外的景色，多美啊！

坐着比KTM快好多的火车，吹着风，好舒服哦！

第三天的傍晚，我们就浩浩荡荡的出发到曼谷的Hi-Sukhumit, 靠近Thong Lo的Sky Train station。那是一间便宜的学生宿舍。这都是因为我们想经历及体验外国的宿舍是如何的。

一进房间，超乎我们想象的，实在太小了。可我们还是住下来了。即来之，则安之嘛。

最难忘是当晚正要出门找吃时，雨却哗啦啦的下起来。肚子又饿，刚好朋友由雨伞，于是我与朋友一起走到街边的便利店。可路上淹水，我们俩的包鞋都湿透了。由于没带多一双鞋，刚好经过鞋店，就勉强买了一双拖鞋，伴我们走回宿舍。

Nah, 就是这双拖鞋啦！这将会是我们当晚的回忆。：-）

第四天，使shopping day! 隔一天很早，我们就回家乡啦。
