Me

There's a blogger outing at Cineleisure, organized by Nuffnang this coming 24th May. I really wish to go, but I wont be in Malaysia. I'm going to PATTAYA on the 20th! It's for work purpose la, I'm going with my lady boss, Sylvia for 6 days.

We will be at an orphanage for 3 days, to observe a charity program and bring it back to Malaysia. After that, it will basically be walking around Pattaya a lot; we have some research to do! I will elaborate about my trip when I am back lah.

Meanwhile, I have dyed my hair at Monsoon-id recently. They're having a 49% discount off for all hair services until end of this month, so it is pretty worth it.

Anyhow, the colour didn't turn out as it was supposed to be, and the lower part of my hair is badly dyed. The colour is only obvious on the top of my head, so I'll be going to have it recoloured.

SIGH... *a pretty big one* I'm getting fatter and fatter and fatter...... Everyone who sees me says ni fei liao/ sihat nye/ sudah gemuk lah/ you've put on weight/ wah, what happened to you etc etc.. I am so stressed! Why is it that I only keep putting on weight when other girls seem to have their secondary school days' body, if not, only better? Why am I the one that can never keep looking beauty than ever? Sien...

I wanted to consume slimming products from Amway, but the package was freaking pricey lah! Cheap ones dangerous pulak.. tell me how lah someone with a kind soul? I need help… sob sob

New things!

I've got myself a 'new hairstyle'! Marcus (Ching's boyfriend) straightened my fringe and cut it short. I asked him to help me trim my ends, so I sat there and he started to trim, trim, trim. Slowly, he passed me a lil bunch of my hair from the left, then another from the right, and the back, and the middle, gosh! I ended up having a totally different hairstyle! I freaked out a lil at first, but everyone says I look much younger now...

Another new thing I've got is a new job 2 months back, at MXM International; it's a sister company of my previous company. The people in this new company are younger and we don't have to wear office attire to work, plus, every Friday is a Dress Code day. Dress Code day is where a theme is pre-selected and then everyone will have to work on their creativeness and dress up. They who do not dress up accordingly will be fined a fee of RM5, and there is a winner for every theme, he gets the fines plus RM50. Kinda interesting...

These pictures will show you my new look, taken during Chinese New Year at my office when the Lion Dance came to bring us luck! Heehe

What do you think?

These photos are taken on an event of my company at Shangri-la Hotel. The theme on that night was Red and Gold. Old hairstyle.

So do you all agree that I look younger now? =D This weekend, Ching and I will be going to A Cut Above to have our hair done, I can't decide on what to do, suggestions?

To Bangkok we go!

These were all over the town! Pink cabs. Interesting colour huh, instead of dull red cabs we've got here.

It was a trip to Bangkok for my Mum, Cher Li and me. I've been to the city once, way back when I was still very young. Too young to remember anything except it was quite cooling and I wore the same jacket as my cousin, a red jacket.

Needless to say, we were all very excited over the trip! We promised ourselves to SHOP TILL WE DROP! And stand up to continue shop, and DROP another time!

Day 1

From Kota Bharu, my Dad dropped us at Golok, we then took a van to Narathiwat Airport. The van was meant to be for at most 11 passengers, but the driver ate money and went around Golok fetching another few people! He actually asked us to masuk sikit to fit them all in! Siao!

Narathiwat Airport was pretty simple, the drinks we had there was rather cheap considering it is drinks you drink in an Airport, you know? No photos to show since nothing seemed interesting.

The first meal we had after checking in to the Hotel was McDonald's in Thailand. There are pork burgers which we don't get back home mah, so have to try them out lah.




Their McSaver, pork.


The burger on promotion then, it is something like Mos burger's rice burger, but Mos burger taste a lot better. This was disappointing.


Yam pie, not good either. Nothing was good eh!

We proceeded to take a rest in the hotel room, then went to have a stroll at the street in front of the hotel. We stayed at Silom very near to Patpong night market, which is the infamous night life area. It was pretty much like our Petaling Street, with all the fake stuff, but very expensive. Mum said their customers are the angmohs, not us because they didn't seem interested to tend to us also. There were so many pubs and clubs at the street, we even saw old saggy bums of 2 quite old ladies! They were standing on the table top, practicing for their pole dance later on.

On another side of the streets, there were stalls selling all sorts of things. The shoes and heels were SO cheap! You can definitely find a pair of nice kitten heels at only 100bahts! Isn't that like so very cheap? Only that I have SO big feet, and Thai girls generally have small nice feet... but I did get to buy a few pairs la by the end of our trip. =D

Day 2

MBK Shopping Mall. The mall was rather crowded, but not till the extend of uncomfortable. Not too many things to buy lah, coz all were quite pricey.




Ain't these pretty? I've actually seen them before lah, at Golok.. but it's still nice to look at again.


and nice to eat too!


Yeah it was Christmas season, and I know how outdated my post is...

Believe me when I say the food at Bangkok is superb! Especially if you love spicy food, you can't not love Thai food! I'm salivating now lor... We really ate and ate and ate.. Li and I had 4 bowls (at different places) of Tom Yam this day, we just love it. Too bad Yi-Shen wasn't there with us, he loves to eat too, but he can't really take spicy food.








Salmon fish skin, yummy!



Although I said there weren't much things to buy at MBK, but I bought 7 bags! Heheh, so happy!

Day 3


Gardenia at Thailand eh. So you can see how powerful corporate identities are, you don't read Thai, but you know it is Gardenia!

We went to Central today, they had a very nice food court, it didn't look like a food court, looked more like an expensive restaurant.


The staffs didn't allow me take photos






Dessert, sedap




Pardon the undies at the back




Li eating again, kakaka...


I know how to pronounce this the Thai way. It doesn't go Vi-ta-milk, it goes Wi-ta-miu, hahah!

We went back to MBK again, Li craved for the Tomyam we had the day before. But it was sold out when we arrived, can you imagine how good the business was! Even the locals love it! Today, we tried Pad Thai (Thai fried kuey teow) at 3 different places.

I bought many pairs of earrings but felt I should have bought more when we were back at the hotel. All 3 of us went for a foot massage after a long day of walking. We are all set for a shopping war tomorrow at Jatujak!!!
* I wrote 'I miss Yi-Shen' on my note this day.

Day 4

There isn't many pictures to show here, reason being:

1. Concentration on shopping for:
i. ourselves
ii. gifts for our loved ones (including friends ok?)

2. I didn't have make-up on because I predicted that it will be so damn hot and stuffy and sticky, and I was right. So my advice to you girls when you go to Jatujak is, wear as comfortable as possible, and no make-up because there won't be anyone who'll look at you anyway.


They're prettier

Li found a young designer and loved his artwork, so she bought his piece of shit, oops sorry, designer t-shirt.




Our way back on the skytrain, legs almost felt like they didn't belong to me


LOOK! I felt so satisfied! Across a king sized bed okay?

The place was so huge, we had to go back the next day. Willingly lah... It is such a satisfaction to see great things, and being able to buy it at a good price you know? Yi-Shen won't understand this.

Li insisted to have an oil massage which she enjoyed tremendously whereas I didn't like it. It was so painful lah.. I like Yi-Shen's massage better! hhaha, say this so that I get more of it!

We had dinner at a famous place named Anna's. It was a cosy bungalow-restaurant with friendly staffs. We were eating and talking away when suddenly we heard a few men singing a Happy Birthday song. We looked around and saw them coming towards us, it was Li's birthday! Or, was it? It wasn't lah!! but we don't know what made them think it was! So we just played along and clapped after the song. To think of it, it was so funny coz Li even blew the candles. Lucky she didn't make a wish! If not, it will be a super funny thing for a long long time for us.

Day 5

I guess overall we only managed to cover about 60% of Jatujak. We didn't have the strength to finish it all so we went back to the hotel to put our things and rest. At first we wanted to eat at Tony Roma's for dinner, but decided to have authentic Thai food in the end.





Whenever we eat something, Li and I will definitely add A LOT of chilli flakes in our food, we will end up having bengkak lips and sweaty heads, but we enjoyed every moment of it!



I would love to stay on for the food, but no more shopping for a while. Wait for me, Bangkok!

Don't miss me!

I'll blog about my trip to Bangkok after I come back from Kota Bharu. My train is tonight! Don't miss me!!

Trip to Penang

Right after arriving KL, Yi-Shen, Su and Julian and me headed for Penang to spend the long weekend there. We did not prepare food supply for the journey, so when we stopped at one of the highway R&R, Yi-Shen wanted to have some fish.


Very weird to stop and eat fish only right? He said he and his family will surely stop at this particular place for their fish whenever they pass by. So that explains his mouth in the photo!

It was a rather long journey because it kept on raining and the traffic was rather congested. It took us 5 hours or more (I didn't really keep track) for us to finally arrive Penang. We stayed at Yi-Shen's Grandfather's house, a nice old bungalow with a spacious garden and a super obedient dog.

Julian had to have Oh-Jian that very same night we arrived, so guess what? only an hour after we had our dinner, we went to have supper. Su can really eat when she is back in Penang, Julian showed me the picture of her taken the previous visit to Penang, her face was round and happy! Hahahah!

The next day, we went to a market to have our breakfast, after that, we played tikam at a small shop. Unlike the city boys, I know what tikam is, do you? although I never wanted to try playing it before.


Trying our luck to win a brand new handphone.



Imagine kids saving up their money and spending the money on this, trying out their luck and most of the time, their hard-saved money is wasted. Actually tikam infact is gambling, parents should ban their kids from playing tikam! Kids will hate me for this...

Then, because Chyi did my nails for me, and this time there are bling-blings on it, I didn't want to wash my hair myself as I don't want to spoil my nails. So Su and I went to have our hair washed at a hair salon. I asked the lady to scratch hard because my head is so darn itchy after not washing it for 2 days! Heheh... don't say I am dirty, a lot of girls don't wash their hair everyday ok?




Off we go to eat again!





Yi-Shen's cousin, AhLoon and his girlfriend, Ah Suan was very nice to bring us around and accompany us. They could have spent their weekend paktoh-ing.. They are very nice people.

We were at Gurney Drive during New Year's Eve, the amount of people there was A LOT! But luckily, because the beach was big, there were places for us to sit down (but you can't see the performance on stage from here, although we don't want to see also lah) and wait for the count down. It was cooling and nice, we had ice-creams and took pictures.




This is Ah Loon and Ah Suan, they've been together for 10 years already!!






A must-shot of me!

Penang people were very co-operative when it came to spraying the can of you-know-what thing. It started from the front part of the stage and continued row by row, it was like they've gone through a rehearsal! It looked like the wave kind of pattern you see in performance, I was amused!

But the disappointing news is, after the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!! Happy New Year!! There were no fireworks in sight! There were no fireworks on Gurney Drive!!! It can be heard, but it can't be seen, reason being, the fireworks are on the other side of a building!! I'm not sure whether those are for people on the beach to see or not cause obviously we can't see nothing!

After the counting down, we had several bad experiences too. Firstly, it was the walkway out from the beach was small, so imagine the bottle neck problem. The thing is, nobody wanted to give way to nobody! People from both directions pushed each other and in the end now one got to move at all. The situation was so dangerous because the ground we were standing on was of rocks and tidak rata, so if you accidentally be not careful enough, you'll sprain your ankle or fall and bleed and being stepped over by thousands of people and die, on New Year's Day!

Then, after waiting for 2 hours in Gurney Plaza for the traffic congestions in the parking area, it was still jammed! And I don't quite understand why some people have to hold onto their honks when they can't move! Will the flow of the traffic be better if they honked? Stupid brainless uneducated siao langs!

The next day, we went to Prangin Mall to shop but bought nothing, and Penang Street to eat. The rest of the itenary was eat, eat, eat and eat. So many things to eat meh? No lah, keep eating almost the same things lah actually.

At night, I was angry with Yi-Shen because he shouted at me for no reason. He didn't pujuk me right after that and that lead to us not talking the whole night and the whole next day. I almost cried for 2 times because I felt very angry and sad when I see Julian and Su being so loving when my good boyfriend never even care to 'tam' me.


See........................


We took the ferry back to Butterworth.






Can you bear seeing this? How often do we get to take ferries from Penang and I can't take pictures with someone who loves me (not)?? I was damn pissed man! Can't he come and talk nice to me, at least try harder?

Haih.......
