Cubicle | Split Identity

Meet our latest pet! Erm. . . I don't think that he has a name. Anyway, he belongs to Ah Bu. One day she cannot stand the cuteness so she brought him back. The question is ~ is he a horse? is he a donkey? No one seems to have the answer. Everyone here in the cubicle are crazy about him! Who cares that he's a donkey or a horse wannabe (he has a Ferrari logo on his chest) But, by today Ah Bu has taken him home (boo! hoo!). Why? All because of Ah Bong! He tried to do whole lot's of stunt on him.
Am I adorable? (aaaahhhhh)
He does look a bit puzzled, rite? Still thinking whether he's a donkey (eeeyooore!!!) or horse (nnyeehhh!!!)

Okay! Back to work!

Trippin | Ipoh - Alor Setar - Hadyai ~ Part 3

Last but not least. SHOPPING! Is a must for me. . . Things here are considereably cheap. You must bargain with them. Need to be tougher than them. Not like Bangkok. Here, they are more ganas. Cannot "e... e..., eh... eh..."

We took a "tuk-tuk" to the market, TBH150 (RM1.50++) per person. (It's actually TBH15 ~ Thanks!) Around 5 minutes ride. It's not a wet market, mind you. It's where all hell broke loose (at least for me). I went for shopping spree. Bought some bags there. So, in total ~ I got shoes, top, bags and food. Not bad, actually. Hehe. Oh yea! T-shirts and football jerseys are cheap there. Imitation lah. But looks good.
Shop, shop and shop

So, there! What a weekend! ~Bon Voyage, Hadyai!~

Trippin | Ipoh - Alor Setar - Hadyai ~ Part 2

Where was I? Oh yea! Walking through the border. After clearing the customs, head for a van ride to the Hadyai city. It was said to take 45 minutes. But don't know what happened, the driver was a bit slow. I think we took about an hour to reach our destination.

First, we went for lunch at Kan Eng. Great food! Just a little note, those who've been to Phuket, there is a Kan Eng 2 there. It's totally different. Kan Eng @ Hadyai is far more better.

Great food @ Kan Eng, Hadyai


Kan Eng 2 @ Phuket ~ not so good

After a hefty lunch, we look for our Hotel Central. By the way, it's not that central. Need to walk a bit to reach the shopping mall. Novotel and Lee Gardens Hotel are smacked in the middle of the shopping malls. Not too much at the malls. There are stalls around there. A mini size Chatuchak. Managed to buy myself a handbag at TBH150 (RM15++) Wohoo!

Hadyai Central Hotel

Streets @ Hadyai

Did I mentioned that it's a food heaven here? You can get foods all around the streets. Weng and Rachel adored the Mango Pulut. They ate, I think about 3-4 packs within 2 days! Talk about foodholics!

Mango Pulut ~ yummy!

Uh! Uh! You'll never believe that we actually ate a TBH129 (RM13++) buffet at level 33 of a hotel! Lee Gardens Hotel, to be exact. Cheap leh? But the variety wasn't as good as it was before, according to Jay. Well, what can I ask for more at RM13++. Got fried rice, fried chicken, roasted duck, tomyam soup, ice-creams, veggies, kuihs, etc.

Seeing is believing ~ truly

Next stop ~ SHOPPING!!!

Trippin | Ipoh - Alor Setar - Hadyai ~ Part 1

Itinerary for last weekend
Thurs.5th June.PM - Ipoh & Alor Setar
Fri.6th June.AM - Hadyai
Sat.7th June.PM - Alor Setar
Sun.8th June.AM - Ipoh & KL


Wow! What a weekend. Went for road trip with Weng, Rachel and Jay (not Jay Chou ler). Since Friday is a holiday, I tagged along with Rachel to Hadyai. First time being there and I whought that it would be something like Bangkok. But no, it wasn't. It's a scaled-down of Bangkok. Did a bit of shopping. But not much variety there. Maybe it was a bit too rush. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it there.
Sawadeeka


Why it's a road trip? Coz, we drove there and walked through the Mal-Thai border. Kinda weird for me. But the checks are thorough. While coming back to Malaysia, we got checked 3 times! Maybe we look like Thais? Asking "Dari mana?". Rachel answered "KL". He was a bit surprised as he was aspecting "Dari Malaysia" o_O

Left: MALAYSIA ~ Right: NO MEN'S LAND

Stay tuned for more!

Wassup | Cutie

Cute hor?

Must be singing Jay Chou's song
yam seng!
Yummy! From Weng...

Wassup | Petrol warzone

Behold! This is the last time you will see the petrol price at RM1.92

Yeap! Officially today, 5th June is when our petrol price hiked the most at RM0.78. Making it RM2.70 per litre! Now I can scrape my plan on having my own wheels.

Haih...I have no problem with taking the public transport but looking at what we have here... it's a nightmare! The monorail, komuter, LRT are packed as sardines, especially now, during the school holidays.

So, talking about yesterday's highlight on every news. Total traffic jam around the petrol stations. People are queueing up for the last chance to fill up their tanks with RM1.92 per litre. Yes, I'm one of them (actually my dad is one of them lah). It was the longest petrol trip for me. 1 solid hour - queue up, fill up, get out. Pity for those 2 Bangladeshi. I think they're pretty surprised with all these people.
Look at that! You can only see this in Malaysia. (Malaysia Boleh!)

Wassup | out of words

selfish ~ self-ish ~ 自私 (zi si)
Meaning: devoted to or caring only for oneself.

(not) understanding ~ un-der-stand-ing ~ 理解 (li jie)
Meaning: a state of cooperative or mutually tolerant relations between people.

[Edited]
I think that I have the tendency to make people angry with me. Even Ah Nie is mad at me. *sob*sob*
My remedy to keep me sane and not to sob uncontrollably.

Silver Screen | Indiana Jones - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


Indy is back! After 20 years he's still up and kicking. At 66 years old, Harrison Ford made a grand comeback. Better than Rambo 4 (purely my opinion ~ sorry ya, Rambo fans out there!)

Talking back to the movie. It's about these crystal skull which looks like an alien. It has been stolen for quite some time and it needs to be returned to its place called Akator. As I was saying at age 66, Indy can't be doing all the hard work himself. So, here comes Henry Jr. aka Mutt aka the son of Indy himself. Remember the kid from Transformers? Yeap! That's him. Shia LaBeouf. He's OK OK lah.
Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeaof

Can't expect much from this 4th installment. Same ol' same ol'. Treasure hunt. Get caught-get away-get caught again-get caught again-get away. You get what I mean? Nonetheless, it's funny. I liked it. Uh! Uh! And the soundtrack. Reminds me of my 'younger' days! I'm not implementing that I'm not 'young'. o_O
