Merdeka!!!

Filed Under Malaysia | 7 Comments

I almost forgot it’s Merdeka day when we turned to Tesco yesterday night to do some groceries. And we were wondering why it was so jammed up around 10.30pm on Saturday night. Everyone started to do night grocery shopping?

Seeing some policemen diverting the traffic, only then it hit us! Merdeka celebration and countdown at The Curve! And thus we turned the car around and headed to the less sought after place instead, Kelana Jaya Giant hypermarket.

And aye, happy Merdeka to all!

I am tagged by FoongPC with Merdeka meme and I would like to tag LeftyBizKit (again) and CarrotRun!

So, what to eat lah?

Filed Under Malaysia, life | 14 Comments

Tell me, what should I visit and eat in Malacca? I am going there this weekend! My colleague exclaimed happily!

Oh gosh, it was one of the questions that I really dread! (=.=)"

Before I could open my mouth, another colleague of mine from Taiping saved me the agony and told her where she should visit and what to eat! Thank goodness!

I am THAT bad when it comes to places to visit and eating places in my hometown that is so famous for food! Yes, I know, the chicken rice ball, satay celup, wan tan mee, ikan bakar, nyonya food and cendol. (Salivating? Me too! :P )

The thing is my father always bought them home for us (yeah lucky me) or we go to our regular places. And it doesn't help with me having no sense of direction at all. I literally know only 3 places in Malacca; my home, my school and the bus station! :D

Which is why I was so glad to get a copy of the precious book "50+1 Malaysia" by Quachee! (Ahem.. I know him personally, or at least I know his brother quite well! :P ) *show off* 

                        

The book is at a pocket size, perfect to be carried anywhere but be amazed by the comprehensive contents! I couldn't believe that it could includes so many topics; 7 topics with 51 things that you will not want to miss! (With pictures too!) 

For a start, it covers the Malaysian culture which I can relate to almost every one of them and it is really amusing! Especially the "lah" which I asked my Indonesian friend and he said they don't use the "lah" like we do! So, it's really Malaysian lah~ 

Second topic will really make anyone goes really hungry as it is about food! The very night I read that topic, I have to ask my mum to buy some satay for dinner! No kidding~! =D 

Next is about 51 places to visit in Malaysia, which is really interesting! I never know that there is so many places that I can visit locally without having to fly to another country. ;)

Also not to be missed; how to travel around in this lovely country and how we celebrate the many festivals we have here. There are also interviews of the many famous people in Malaysia which made us proud.
 
Truly, I think I really learn much more about my country that before after reading this little booklet! Thanks Quachee. His love for his country has inspired him to come out with such a great book, that should be read by all Malaysians as well as a great guide to tourists to know Malaysia better!

Happy Merdeka to everyone and have a safe journey! =)

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..

MERDEKA!!! MERDEKA!!! MERDEKA!!!

Filed Under Malaysia | 7 Comments

Today is a proud day of all Malaysian! It is the 50th Independence Day and the country is finally 50 years since the day we are no longer dependent on British!

Am I proud to be a Malaysian? Well, I could say sometimes I am. Malaysia is indeed a beautiful country, blessed with no natural disaster like earthquake & volcanoes, a lot of tasty and variety of food, many races live in peace, summer all the time (well, it’s not something that everyone likes but let’s be grateful, ok), has the 3rd highest building in the world (and I am working in it!!!), beautiful islands, etc.. 

  

I love the sinful but yummy food like Char Kuew Teoh,  Nasi Lemak, satay, roti canai, laksa, many-new-flavoured-mooncake, dim sum and etc~ I think most Malaysian that left for other countries will eventually miss them~

 
Char Kuew Teow~ *drool*

 
Nasi Lemak~

 
Satay!!! One of my many favourites!!!

But hey, there is many cons too living in Malaysia, but not that I am going to mention it here at the moment! Let’s be proud to be here today and be patriotic for a day!  I am flagging a Malaysia flag at my gate, another flag on my table and one in the office cubicle~ !!!  

HAPPY MERDEKA!!!
