Bangkok Trip (Day 1)

Before i start all the description on my Bangkok trip, let me just say a little about HOW i manage to get tickets to bangkok???

Well, it was like this...in december 2005...Air Asia was kind enough to offer 2 million FREE tickets to all the destinations for the whole of 2006...





When someone came out with the idea of going to Thailand... to tell you the truth, i wasnt really keen on it cos my impression of Thailand has always been of a place where bad people lurk around the city...wahahahaha..

You cant blame me what with all those Singapore movie series always potraying bad people coming from Thailand :P

However, the whole thing changed when someone told me that Bangkok is a really good place for shopping...bad people put aside...im going to Bangkok!!

Red Sponge who was so eager to go to Bangkok too after hearing of the free tickets...almost immediately went online to book for tickets.

Can you ever imagine tickets from Kuching-KL-Bangkok-KL-Kuching could only cost less than rm300??????

We were all drooling when we heard how cheap it was!!

But then, there was a little sacrifice we had to make for those free tickets...

The transit period in KL is from 11am till 6pm O_o



Lurverly nasi lemak on Air Asia! It is nice! :)

Its quite impossible to spend so many hours in the new Low Cost Carrier Terminal ... so cia lat la 'x'

So we had to take the SkyBus from LCCT to KL Central... and then from there we went shopping at Sungei Wang lor...

Lucky thing, our luggage are taken care of by a luggage service in KL Central for only RM5...or else,i think our arms would be separated from its socket by the time we reach Bangkok...

After a tiring walk around and around Sungei Wang... it is time at last to board our plane to Bangkok.

By the time we reached LCCT, i felt that our holiday has already ended...cos we were exhausted already!! Even before we reach Bangkok..my goodness...certainly not a good beginning to a HOLIDAY...wahahahha



So after a 2 hour plus flight ... we are FINALLY at Bangkok International Airport!!! Woohooo...Red Sponge and I , we were both really HIGH by the time we reach there that we couldnt stop giggling when we heard the announcers speaking in Thai...teeheehheh...

And oh btw...Bangkok International Airport is really HUGE...so many gates,so many planes... woooooo...so many people too!

There were over 20++ immigration clearance counters in the airport which each counter having at least 20++ people in queue.

Ok .. so i m quite sakai...so anyway...

When we reached the airport...our tour guide was already waiting for us and surprise surprise..he speaks MANDARIN...and perfect mandarin too!! 'x'

Where should i dig my face and hide??? My mandarin is so so la...i can hear and speak and i m totally blind when it comes to reading chinese characters.But here is a Thai who speaks excellent mandarin...so good, i have difficulty to understand...shid!

So anyway,first stop......................Dinner~~~~

Where???? Here..............

Had our first tom yam!!!....MMMmMMmMmM....quite ok la...not terrribly nice...wahahah. Will post a pic of the authentic tom yam soup later on ...all the tom yam looks quite similar, no point to post all of them rite??heh...

After that, we were brought to our hotel which is situated near Bangkok Chinatown, the Grande Ville Hotel. So sorry,no pics...i was really too tired when i reached the hotel that i just couldnt wait to try out the bed...

But , my fellow travellers are not tired yet!!! They stil wanto go out and walk...wahahahah...

Not wanting to miss out on Bangkok ....i tagged along lor...

We went to...

There were some sort of a night market there...and we walked and walked and walked..and there were people left,right,up,down,behind....they were EVERYWHERE...

It was so crammed that sweat came down like bullets...yearghh.....i just couldnt bring myself to snap some shots cos it was just too crowded...

Once or twice i almost got knocked down by a lady pushing a trolley full of HOT oil~~!

So i really had to keep my eye wide open in order to avoid any mishap...hahaahah

At the end, i m not sure whether they were too tired to walk back to our hotel or they wanto try out the tuk tuk...or maybe both! But its a good thing!
Tuk tuk is certainly a convenient and affordable and not forgetting to mention FAST mean of travelling in Bangkok!




You dont even need aircon when you r in the tuk tuk, the wind blowing on ur face is enough! hahaha...needless to say, it is rather scary for us sakai kia to sit on a 'open-air' 'car'. Someone *ahem* was shrieking almost the whole way from Chinatown to our hotel...wahahahah

I got it on video...but thanks to stupid ol me...i accidentally delete it -_-"

Back to our lovely hotel room....time for a very very very very much needed zzzzzzzzzzzssss

But!!! Our eventful day did not end there!!

I was awaken by the sound of some people talking,giggling REALLY LOUD...i tot it was from the tv but the tv wasnt on !!! O_O

I was too tired that i couldnt even bother to check out the source of the noises and went back to sleep...

I only found out on the next day that it was no spook...just the next door neighbours having some errrrrrrrrrrrr FUN...

Hello helloo!! I would appreciate it if they could do their 'business' quietly for g'ness sake!!

(To be continued)

Home Sweet Home

I m baaaaaaaaaaack~~~~

:)

There's no place as good as home...thats for sure... hehehe...

I was really tired and bushed when i reached kuching yesterday night...yesterday was a REALLY long day...it started from 4am till 12.30am...tsk tsk tsk

Almost drop dead of fatigue :p

But here i am again!!!... As promised, i would do a travelogue on my bangkok trip lo...

And since this is gonna be my very first travelogue, i will TRY my best to write a comprehensive one instead of the usual CHIN CHAI LAI post i always write...teeheeheheh...

So...stay tuned................. :)

Vacation Schmacation

Just when i was really really excited about my bangkok trip 2moro... i have to run a little temperature today!!!

Labour's Day Feast

This is long overdue post...but its better late than never isnt it?? ;)

Well, on the eve of labour's day ..me n my 2 sis decided to cook up something italian for dinner.

My second sis decided to cook her trademark dish..LASAGNA and my eldest sis said she'd cook spaghetti...then me feeling paiseh offered to make some pizzas lo...hahahhaha..

That is the easiest thing to cook!!!! Plus its fun to make!! :) I almost drooled out of excitement and concentration while putting on the toppings for the pizza...wahahha..OKLA! i didnt drool la ok? :p

So i bought some salami and some parmesan cheese and the ready made pizza crust(its so ez peasy i tell u!)...hmm couldnt find mozarella that day ...so the second best option will do lah!..And then i stole some canned button mushroom from my mom's cupboard (shhhhhhhhhhhh...) and TADAHH! its a pizza! :P Of cos you have to bake it la

So here are the pics...i think my pizza looked pretty good in the pic...put it this way, i think its very photogenic 'x'

Ze italian feast... (DISCLAIMER: pair of hands unwrapping pizza in background not mine 'x')

The lasagna.......whose leftovers became my lunch for 2days -_-"



Fried chicken that is very out of place in an italian dinner...


And of cos....my masterpiece!!!~~ ta daaaa.... :P



Lurvely salami.........




Oh btw...i met someone new during the weekends...

Meet THE DOG!!



Cute aint he? ^_^ Unfortunately, hes not mine...BOOHOOHOO

Motivation

You know?? i have been wondering...

Why isit so hard for me to wake up at 7am on a work day when i could have easily jumped out of bed at 6am in the morning if i were going to do something fun for e.g. a picnic???

Heheheeh...

I then realised that human need motivation!! Even for things as simple as dragging your tousled head out off the bed...

I guess thats why i always think of something to look forward to every morning the alarm goes off...it could be things as simple as a date in the nite ;) or erm...perhaps where to lunch at noon and if i have totally nothing to look forward to, i would then get myself up by comforting myself that weekends is near....wahahah...

I just cannot live without motivation and i move on in life by looking for simple simple things to look forward to... it has worked wonders for me ;)

Sayonara for now ... i have some japanese anime to catch up to...khik

Peach Girl

Hieee...

streamyx just went up 2nite after a 1 week break -_-""

Someone really should do something abt this terrible service....tsk tsk tsk...

I should be getting discounts on the monthly feei pay every month!!!

So anyway, just wanted to write a short post to inform you all that i m still alive and kicking 'x' before i go back to watching my japanese anime series...WAHAHAHA

I am recently being very obsessed with the award winning japanese anime calld PEACH GIRL... its good stuff i tell you!!!

Go and download it or buy the dvd!! You wont regret it...! WAHAHAHA

Now if you'll excuse me...i need to continue episode 14

p/s 1 week and 2 days till my bangkok trip...WAHOOOOO~~~ ^_^

It is hard to say goodbye...

Tonight i bade goodbye to a very close 'friend'.

We've been thru thick and thin for God knows how many years already and i used to think that we would be together till the end of days...how foolish i was to put fate aside.

For fate it was that brought us apart...forever....

I was pretty sad just now ... but i just couldnt do anything.

We were not meant for each other anymore...

I felt so sad when we separated just now... my heart almost broke...

But the dentist said it has to go...for the sake of my lower wisdom tooth...

WAHAHAHAHAHAH~~

Hahahaah ... i dont know if any of you still remember my ordeal with the swollen gum a few weeks ago???

well, the swelling came back early this week...and arghh i think it was worst than before!!

I really couldnt stand it anymore this time...so i called up my favourite dentist on wednesday morning and was again informed that he was fully booked ...till NEXT WEEK!!!

I must admit i was really quite desperate by then and i started to look for other dentists lorr...

After much persuading by myself...my guts said OKLO!WE LOOK FOR OTHER DENTIST LO *shudders*

So i went to the other dentist just now ...

And the moment i opened my mouth AHHHHHHHH...

he said MY GOODNESSSSS~~~~

I was like HA~~~ with my mouth still open wide...

And he said with a grim face as if i had maggots in my mouth or sth... "DO YOU KNOW YOUR GUM HAS GOT PUS???" hee ...he said in mandarin la...CHUK LUNG is PUS rite?haa

I was really quite frightened by his words...

And he said...i will extract your upper wisdom tooth..

I was like OK OK OK ..

And he repeated again...I M GOING TO EXTRACT YOUR UPPER TOOTH BOOO! NOT YOUR LOWER TOOTH(the one with pus)

I asked WHY?!?!?!??????????????????? (note:extra question marks for added drama 'x')

Him : HAH! EVERYONE ASKS ME THE SAME QUESTION ( in my heart,you si kui hau lian kia) BUT, YOUR UPPER TOOTH HAS BEEN BITING ON YOUR LOWER GUM AND THE CONTINOUS PROCESS MAKES YOUR GUM SWELL LO.

Me : nod nod nod nod (hand start to tremble liao)

The thing is .. I'V NEVER EXTRACTED ANY TOOTH BEFORE!!!

BOOHOOHOOO... I FEEL SO SAD FOR HAVING DESERTED MY GOOD TOOTH!!

I m still feeling guilty now.... :(

Its like im not doing any justice to that good tooth..i mean its not its fault that it has to bite on my lower gum and make it swell rite???sob ...

SORRY MR LEFT HAND SIDE UPPER WISDOM TOOTH!!! I DIDNT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE! I HOPE YOU REST IN PEACE..

*gloom*

Long weekends

haaa...its another long weekend again! :)

I think we've been rather spoilt these few weeks...this is the THIRD long weekend we've had this month.

wahahahaha so happy!!

Few weeks ago, it was the Good Friday holiday...leaving us with a 4-day weekend cos we started our weekends a day earlier.

This week, its also a 4-day weekend..cos Monday is a holiday.

So i was wondering...which LONG WEEKEND is better?

Holiday on a Friday so we start our weekends one day earlier???

OR

Holiday on a Monday so we end our weekends one day later???

HMMMMM...

after much thinking... i have decided that

...

........

A holiday on BOTH fridays and mondays is BEST!!

Metamorphosis

I was driving back to office after lunch yesterday while listening to my favourite radio station , MIXFM. And i heard the DJ said the next song entitled CRAZY CHICK sung by CHARLOTTE CHURCH.

And i was like HUH??? CHARLOTTE CHURCH?? Singing a POP song entitled CRAZY chick??hmm.. it just doesnt compute...

You know?? THIS charlotte church???...

The angelic charlotte church who USED to sing church hymns???

omg!

So i did a search on the net and found out that she looks like this now......

=O

My goodness! What on earth is happening to this world?

Is there such a contract that angelic,innocent looking teen stars should look like *cough*sluts*cough* by the time they reach a certain age???

Why,its another britney phenomena....wahahaha

Do you still remember the OLD britney?? the one who lookED like this...

And now she turned into THIS...



Urghhhh...

I used to listen to charlotte's songs you kno? I used to think shes pretty cute with those fringes and all that...but hmmm ...ppl change i gez ..

Her new song is not bad tho...hee...i like it actually ;)

Masterpiece No 2

Feast your eyes!!

'x'





p/s i think i m getting more and more over-confident by the day .... muahahaha

Masterpiece

It is with great pleasure that i present to you this one and only masterpiece of mine.

You all should be honoured that i chose to publish this very unique masterpiece here on this blog for you all to see and criticise


Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Ok..you may laugh now..*covers ear with both hands*

Arghhh

ggrrr..what is wrong with blogspot anyway?? How come i cant do any spacing in between paragraphs???GRRRR

And now my post have to look as if its all jumbled up all together.I hope i dont give any of you an eye sore 'x'

Oh!..Speaking about my blog template.To tell you the truth...im not really proud of it..!HA! I think its all messy and all that.I think its really an embarassment for me to write web-based systems everyday and my blog is in this state! Aiyerr..malu la... 'x'

But the fact is, i just couldnt bring myself to do another line of programming when im at home...

:(

Weekends???Where??

harlowww...its a sunday again and i think i've missed out on saturday this week..boohoohoo...

i was in the office for the whole day yesterday...*sigh* so there goes saturday :(

my favouritest day of the week.and i've missed out on a whole day of shopping...wahahaha.well, that could be good in a way since i dont have to spend any money rite? :P

So i went to office yesterday morning without any supply of water cos i assumed that the office always have a HUGE supply of drinking water ma! but to my horror.....i found out that all the water bottles have been emptied COMPLETELY!

I am a water person .. in fact, ppl call me WATER TANK (*ahem* not OIL TANK ok?? it has totally differnet meanings..wahahah) cos i just cannot live without water.

I must always have 2 bottles of water at my side when im in front of the computer...heee! i think the company is lucky not to have 2 staff like me :D

Ok....so i thought well, maybe i could finish my job earlier and i can leave earlier and have my drink somewhere else lor.

But things dragged on for quite a bit and arghhhh i was THIRSTY!

I really had no choice but to refill my water bottle in the toilet..sob sob.I mean from the toilet water tap of cos!!

And there was this really heavy smell of chlorine!!! YEARGHHH...

Talking about employee motivation..tsk tsk tsk.Boss must b saying....THOSE WHO COME BACK TO O.T. ON WEEKENDS AH...NO NEED TO GIVE THEM ANY WATER.COS WHO ASK THEM NOT TO FINISH THEIR WORK EARLIER?? 'x'

wahahahah..

But that is exactly what i wanted to talk about...EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION.

Saturdays and sundays have always been 2 very precious days for me since as long as i could remember. My perception is that, the weekends should be spent on play and not work.ha!Which is why i've always grumbled and moaned when i had to go back for classes on saturday last time and which is why i grumble and moan when i have to go back to work now! :D

But then, i was always quite surprised to see so many of my colleagues back to work on saturday.

And i dont mean droppping by for a few minutes to be a nuisance to those who need to OT and run off again kind of 'back to work'. I mean staying there for the whole day as if its a working day kind.

Before i started working, i was not really er....'exposed' to this thing called O.T. hahaahha i guess its cos my elder brother and sisters never had to OT le.I never see them packing their bags and waking up early to go to work on saturdays!

Which is why i was surprised to see my colleagues always so willing to go back to work.

Then it struck me that...employee motivation could b a part of this.

When a boss gives good remuneration,good working environment,good facilities,etc etc...staff would be willing to do more than just 5 working day...hehehe. I think that is very true.

In fact SIMS2 OPEN FOR BUSINESS actually simulates that! You have to maintain and motivate your staff by increasing their wages, promoting them,give them a break,etc :P

Wahhahaha...ok ... so DEAR MR BOSS, if you are reading this...i hope you would know that i am your dedicated employee 'x'

Love Letter

I found a little surprise on my desk when i reached my office on Thursday morning...

I found this!!!

HEEHEE..this weird little post card propped up on my keyboard...

hmmmmm ... could it be from the cute guy working opposite my office ?? haaa...no la...its from none other than my dear Red Sponge. khik!

This is what she wrote at the back ... (p/s Red Sponge, i hope you don mind la ho???)

haa! it may be a bit too small...but you try to squint your eyes and see if you can read it lorr..if cannot, then sorry la ..hehehe...

i was so touched when i receive this little card :P omos wanto cry liao....wahsehhh

This is a tribute to Red Sponge!!! 'x'

PleasantView

My goodnesss!! i think it has been abit too long since i last went online cos......................... I JUST CANT STAND ALL THOSE NON STOP CHAT WINDOWS POPPING UP AND DOWN IN MY MONITOR ..arghhhhhhhh

Hmm...what is there to say about life ?? hmmmmm ..life is .......erm...................HECTIC lorrr...
rush here and there. i didnt get to enjoy my friday this week :(

and most probably wont be able to enjoy my saturday...WUAHHHHHH ~>.<~ Need to OT.. i think that is the 2 most dreadful letter in the whole world... So i was complaining and feeling down for having to go back to work 2moro when he said ....Why are you complaining so much??? I have to go to work every saturday and you don see me complaining... hehehe...that is true la actually... but we humans are like that..once we've been given something good , it would be very hard for us to live without that something anymore :P haaaa..so i might just as well put a smile on my face and go to work 2moro (in my tshirt) and make full use of the time.at least, i wont have SOMEONE bothering me at work for once.. *AHEM*

Here's a pic of Pleasantview ... the town in SIMS2!!! It looks great doesnt it?!?! I've said this before, and i say it again.....PLAY SIMS2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a nice weekend!! :)
