Spot the Yellow @ Bangkok!
Filed Under holiday, photo | 15 Comments
Believe it or not, our neighbour counterparts (Thailand) are more loving and loyal to their king than us! On the last day, I noticed many people were wearing yellow in colour as there was a big day of their king (not so sure what day is that, but I think it's their King's Birthday). No wonder I saw a lot of places selling yellow shirts.
Spots the yellow on the street! Not Digi man of course!
Yellow shirts for sale!
Spots the yellow on the street!
Yellow everywhere~
Yellow here & there.
Yellow in the bus too~
Yellow cab driver..
Yellow on de bike..
Yellow in TukTuk..
Yellow piggie too~ 
King picture on the road..
Respect their king..
Is there something we can learn here or are there better reasons?

The must-visit Temples @ Bangkok!
Filed Under holiday, photo | 16 Comments
Temples are one of the must visit places in Bangkok! I have planned to go to Grand Palace, Wat Phra Keao and Wat Pho temples on the 3rd day of my visit, after the Chatukchak Market. So around 3pm, we took a cab there and it was damn traffic jam and some roads were closed! Arrgghh.. and the worst thing was we were reminded by the taxi driver that the temples are closed at 3.30pm! 
So, he suggested that we go to the Marble temple nearby, which we had just passed by and after we agreed, we have to walk back to to the temple for quite a distance! And we didn’t have our lunch yet.:( Hungry, dissapointed, tired..
Anyway, the Grand Palace and Wat Pho temples visit were postponed to the 4th day (last day morning). No regret of going coz it was really beautiful but just darn hot day. I was practically melting. >_<
Didn't get to go to Wat Arun too coz lack of time and my housemate, K, said not much to see anyway.
Four faced God temple, from the free day tour.. We must pray according to anti-clockwise at the 4 side.
The many elephants there, very nice!
The Marble temples, the real name : Wat Benchamabopit Dusitwanaram. Read it aloud!
Inside the temple, a big Buddha.
The Marble temple, actually rather nice and big place.
Outside the Grand Palace, I just was attracted to those pine shaped trees!
Big golden temple dome at Grand Palace. Looking so elegant..
So golden.. So beautiful, isn't it!
Some are squarish one, but as gold as well. Is it real? Beats me!
Some of the temples there are Grand Palace. It is actually a very big place and they gave u a map at entrance. I didn't bother to read it. Too hot to care. Just wanna see see see and get out of there!
An avid photographer!
I am actually in the photo if you look carefully enough. It sure is a tall temple, isn't it!
Me at closer look~
The Angkor Wat monument in the temples. It is said that Angkor Wat used to belong to Siam (Thailand).
Use these lotus flowers to sprinkle the holy water on your head/body and you'll blessed. And so I did. Blessed. 
The sky is blue, the temple is beautiful~
But look carefully enough, you'll see it is a hot weather!
The lotus flowers with bees inside and temples at the reflection!
The buildings nearby, don't know what building is that.
Nice architechure, huh?
A bunch of army came from nowhere and started to march, so I snapped. 
The Wat Pho huge, sleeping Buddha.
It is really big, you have to walk around it.
You can change into small changes and drop them each into the bowl there.
So, remember to visit the temples on your next visit to Bangkok, at least once.

A comical cute little dog!
Filed Under holiday, photo | 13 Comments
At Suan Lum Night Bazaar, I couldn’t help but take pictures of this cute little doggie with so much expression, at a shop! His comical face was just so adorable, ain’t it?
Hey, welcome to my shop! Come in and see~ My products are nice and cheap!!!
It isn't easy for a small dog like me to take care of this big shop. Sometimes I can be so bored at the shop with no customer coming in.
But sometimes, business is good, I am so happy! *smiling*
When business is bad, this is how I look like. *sad*
Ooohh… Feeling a little tired now..
Please go away.. I really need a rest, by my side of my owner..

So what’s in Bangkok?
Filed Under holiday, photo, me | 15 Comments
Bangkok, Thailand is not that much different from Malaysia, perhaps only different in language and more stuffs to buy. To them, shopping is a religion! Cool, isn't it?!?
Tuk tuk is very common in Thailand and you have to negotiate.
The famous thuk-thuk that can be more expensive than the taxi and it can goes really fast!!!
Yeah, it can go this fast! Taken on my only tuk-tuk ride!
Suan Lum Night Bazaar with lotsa stuffs to buy, but bargain hard!
There is also a big open food court for you to relax and have stage performance too!
You can find many kickboxing gloves at Suan Lum bazaar and after persistent bargain, u can get around RM32! Cheap, huh!
Going to Chatukchak by MRT train!
The different is they use coin chip to enter the MRT, apart from card, very cool!
Apart from old people,pregnant ladies, give seat to the monk too!
A weirdo in Chatukchak!
The cute doggie shirt I saw in Chatuchak market! Nice?
The shy little girl, isn't she adorable~? Feel like pinching her chubby cheek!
Scene at Khao San road.
The famous Pad Thae, like fried flat noodles, less than USD1!
The innocent little seller of makeup stuffs at Khao San Road.
Bangkok's Ronald McDonald~ Sawadee ka~
On my last day, I couldn't stand having no internet access for 4 days already!!! Enter a coin into the CPU and time will start ticking. When time is up, the monitor is off! Very cool, right!
So, I surfed 10 minutes at 10 Baht (around USD 0.30). The internet speed? Trust me, after using this, I feel that our Streamyx is REALLY fast!!! Coz it took more than 4 minutes to load my Gmail and I just managed to view the subjects of those emails. Time's up before I could do anything!
So, that is generally on my Bangkok pictures. More pictures of the grand temple next~

Overview of Bangkok Trip~
Filed Under holiday, photo | 13 Comments
In general, my Bangkok trip was rather fun, though my shopping was not up to the expectation (I have a very high expectation, mind u). I didn’t even finish my Thai Baht, which I am not so sure is good or bad! 4 days is certainly not enough! I didn’t even get to go to Floating market coz lack of time! 
Here is my itinerary in Bangkok :
Day 1
- MBK Shopping Mall
- Siam Square
This was at the pedestrian bridge between both shopping mall! Awewsome, right! Halloween decorations~
Day 2
- Day Tour (4 Face Buddha, Natural Herb Center, Tiger & Crocodile Farm, Leather & Gem Factory)
- Suan Lum Night Bazaar
"Don't sleep while I am talking", the wife croc says to the husband croc.
Day 3
- Chatuchak Weekend Market
- Marbles Temple
- Khao San
- Siam Square
- Pathpong Street
The red light district of PatPhung with pubs and lotsa imitation stuff. Boring.
Day 4
- Grand Palace
- Wat Pho
- Thai Massage
Beautiful golden temple at Grand Palace! A certainly must visit!
Of all the places I wanna go, I missed two important ones : Floating Market & Thai KickBoxing!!! 
Ahhh.. all coz of lack of time. *sigh*
Perhaps next year I will go there again..
More pictures will be up after I sort them, took more than 700!

Cameron Highland 2, wonderful place~
Filed Under holiday, photo, fun, friend, weekend | 15 Comments
This is the first time I stayed at a Malaysia Nature Society Hostel which provides basic facility, double-decker beds, shared toilet and bathroom, a common kitchen/conference hall and beautiful scenery, surrounded by the vast tea plantation!
It was rather difficult to reach there. Jan, a retiree from Holland who participated in the “Malaysia My Second Home” program which is also the members of the Malaysia Nature Society lead us to the place using his GPRS gadget! Cool! He had been here before years ago.
Look at the tiny, winding road that we had to take, up to the hill, which was quite a distance. Have to drive cautiously, or else plunge into the deep valley! >.<
Finally, after half an hour or so, we reached there and was rather surprised by the place. It was raining and we have to climb the stairs which was about 100 uneven steps up to the hostel! Tiring!
This is the hostel from the outside, yeah, greenish in color!
It has 20 beds and there were 16 of us. So everyone chose a bed and I got the lower deck!
Gee.. reminded me of the first year in university, I also took the lower deck! A cosy place~
Here is the conference room, attached to the kitchen and the dining room!
We bought some vegetables, fishball and steamboat’s material food and made steamboat!
Everyone was so hungry and we were delighted to have hot steamboat on cold rainy day~
At night, we lighted up the lanterns and had mooncakes (and also liquor, snacks and sweet potatoes desserts). Too much food, too cold, too cosy~ 
On Sunday, we went to the tea shop and the wind was blowing so strongly. You could practically hear the howl of the wind. So we hide in the tea shop!
Having some hot teas and cakes outside the tea shop and enjoying the beautiful view~
Finally time to go, packed our bags and took some pictures!|
And if you have not tried Cameron Highland’s corn which is bigger than normal corn, much sweeter and juicier, you should absolutely try it! It is pricier though at RM10 for four corns. But the taste? The best I ever taste for corn! Seriously..
Corns with butter, yummy!
And the common and abundant strawberries that you can find there. Don’t buy the small ones as they’re sour; go for big ones as there’re much sweeter and value for money~!
Tempting, isn't it?!?

Cameran Highland lovely greeneries..
Filed Under Malaysia, holiday | 13 Comments
This time round, I stayed at the tea plantation instead of hotel. It was a very farrr journey up the hill, on a narrow and winding unpaved lane. It went round and round till you have to hang on tight and eat sweets so that don’t vomit. But I guess it’s worth the long, curvy ride as the view.. .. is … *taking a deep breath*… breathtaking! All around the hostel that we stayed are greeneries.. tea plantations.. magnificent..
Picture speaks a thousand words.. so let’s view them~
The vast tea plantation in Cameron Highland.
On the hills, so green, so green~
Looking down the valley, you can see the tiny houses. Made me feel like I was at foreign country! Beautiful!
All of them so happy, early in the morning at tea plantation. But where was I?
I am here! Squatting down among the tea leaves! Coz the wind was blowing very strong and I felt so cold. So I hide myself from the wind!
See the mist? And feel the wind.. Sooo cold..
Last but not least, I've uploaded a small video clip that I took there. Mind the color and quality, coz the camera is very low end. =D It suppose to be very beautiful. The green 'building' is the hostel that I stayed at. It is surrounded by hills and tea plantation..

I am back!!!
Filed Under holiday, fun, weekend | 5 Comments
I AM BACK!!! Good to be back as I missed my dearie Dell lappie a lot! Left the house around 6.15am on Saturday morning and came back around 9.30pm on Sunday night. Totally exhausted! Actually not really that bad, as I had many cat naps in the car. =D
I am back with a tray of big, juicy, red strawberries, 2 boxes of sweet, cherry tomatoes, a bag of luscious, extraordinary delicious corns and a bag of orangey sweet potatoes! All fresh and yummylicious~!!!
I am back with experience and memorable trip to Gua Tempurung, advanced session, mind you! And unbruised and uninjured body, wading through the dark water, crawling through some low ceilings of the cave, sliding down to lower grounds, knocking my head to the low ceiling and climbing down through some small holes for 3 and half hours~
I’ve made it!!! Ok, no big deal.. everyone can do it.. =P
I am back with an unforgettable experience of the car tire of Rav4 stucked in the mud and grass, tilted to a side and unable to move at the narrow road on the way up a hill. It took around 8 strong guys to push for around 10 times to get it move! And it was raining, cold strong winds with hungry, rumbling, tummies.
I am back with a holiday mood that refuses to work although mind and body are rejuvenated and ready for more work challenge (more to challenges of passing time at work).. =D

Weekend Escape~
Filed Under holiday, fun, weekend | 4 Comments
I love Wordpress. There are so many things I can do with it. I have so much control over my website, unlike the Easyjournal which only let me put the header, so you might notice I chunked everything on top! I’ve no control over it at all. Xanga is not too bad but not as good as Wordpress. People need to login to comment, not so convenient, eh?
What is so good about Wordpress? (No, I am not paid to write this in case you are wondering..) OK, wonder no more.. I like it coz I can pre-write my post and pre-set the publishing time! Yeah~!!! So now I am taking full advantage of it!
I am now away for my little adventure to Gua Tempurung as well as Cameron Highland (think : breezy~) for this weekend. Probably I am now wading through the dark, murky water of Gua Tempurung right now, and glancing up and backwards nervously, hoping I don’t slip and fall! Honestly, I am a little scared but when I am scared, I try not to think about it. OK, it doesn’t really help much, but at least reduce my worry and frightened time. =P
Next I’ll be eating strawberries & cherry tomatoes at Cameron and staying at tea farm for a night, buying cheap roses, enjoying steamboat and talking to people I don’t know. Reason is there are many participants of the trip that I never met before. But what the heck, I want to try the advance adventure session of the Gua Tempurung. Yit been there twice and she said it was fun. If she could do it, I can do better, rite? Eh, the confidence =P
Till I am back again! ^.^

The Hutton Lodge at Penang~
Filed Under holiday, photo, fun, weekend | 6 Comments
This was the place we put up for a couple of night, Hutton Lodge, at only RM55 (less than USD16!!!) for a double room with shared bathroom. But the shared bathroom was very clean and there were many toilet and shower rooms! Single room is about RM40 I think and the place is near Penang Road, so it is in the center of the city.
The place was opened early this year after renovation as it was burnt down some years ago. So it was very new and very clean! As it was built during the colonial time, the building has a very unique and nice design, which I really like! So I was happy to stay here.
Service was rather good and they even provided breakfast, toast, banana cake and coffee/tea. There are even two computers for you to access the internet, but of course at RM5 per hour. Parking is free at the porch. I would highly recommend this place and would certainly stay there for my next visit (hopefully soon~)
The modest reception area and living room~
My room was 202, at the end of the corridor~ Felt like staying in a hostel many, many years ago!
The room, just nice size, with large windows around and of course it is air-conditioned!
Shower and toilet together, very clean! And even sharing among males & females!!!
At the washroom~
A nice place for breakfast in the morning too~
So, if you are attracted, find this road sign!
Lastly, this is NOT a sponsored post, just a happy guest at Hutton Lodge~
When visiting places like Hutton Lodge on a fun holiday, having a business credit card in your wallet, adds to your amusement because with a creditcard, you’re free to shop anything. The discover card rewards offers many different options in this regard. When it comes to business credit card offers, one should never overlook the bad credit card issues that may arise thereafter.

The sexy girl at Penang Island~
Filed Under holiday, photo, fun, friend, weekend | 5 Comments
The main objective for this trip was to shoot pretty, pretty pictures for pretty Jocelyn. She’s the one requested and organised for the trip. Too bad her friend’s studio at Penang wasn’t available at last minute.
However we (I only took some and the rest was taken by the photographer Kyife) managed to take many pretty shots for her! The scenes was at Batu Feringgi, a popular beach at the island.
There was this nice, quiet spot with a deserted double-storey-ghostly-looking-house nearby. It was rather spooky but we reached there in the morning, so it was quite ok!
The view was really nice and very windy~
I took this photo! Pretty, hor!
This photo also by me~
This one as well~
The rest of the pretty shots are by Kyife~
Good figure, rite!?!
On a tree trunk by the beach~
Mesmerizing? ^.^
