2012.08.04-05 Pangkor Island

Early morning, I got to wake up and get ready myself for this short trip. From KL to Lumut, nearest Pangkor Island port takes 3-4 driving hours, I guess. In the mid of journey, we dropped by at Bidor for this famous duck leg noodles which make us wait more than 45 minutes for meal-serving. Well, my advise is if u are in rushing, not worth to try even the price is reasonable : MYR 7.50 per portion.

To be honest, I do not have time to explore Pangkor Island, we checked in hotel around 2PM and spend the rest evening at the beach for sunbath. However, heavy haze at Malaysia now, it was suck... Not enjoy such atmosphere. Luckily, I have bought a book for killing time ;p

This resort is quite nice and cozy and it shld be very costly. ( My fren's brought me there n FOC for me hahaha). Perhaps occupancy in this resort is relatively low, hence the room is bit smelly and the bed is not really comfy. However, I love its private beach's sand.. so smooth ...


Thanks W, A & K in preparing this BBQ for us. It was superb and I enjoy it very much. In fact, I did expecting a bday celebration but u guys really gave me an unforgettable nite. The food is nice and well-planned too. I'm very touching as such a long time didn't n do not want to celebrate my Bday...


Happy birthday to me ;p

2012.07.18_A meaningful dinner

During this working transition period, happy to meet my best frens, an old couple who is facing many challenges at these moment. Their positive attitude encourage me to be calm and dare to step out  @ think out of the box. Indeed, I really appreciate our meeting as we never know it might be our last farewell hahaha... During dinner time, I got to apologize to other customers as our laugh n talking noise were a bit laugh till some sharp eyesight staring at us. Since my frens transform become herbivore, we went to this Vietnamese Food at One Utama Shopping Mall, glad this was a wise choice. Although the price is slightly high but we enjoy the meals and service very much.
We have ordered:

1. Flat rice roll ( Popiak)
2. Fried Lotus Root and mixed veg)
3. Pork Noodle ( non-halal restaurant)
4. Beef Hue Set ( Vietnam Rice Noodle )
5. Combo roll ( Mango roll, Fried sugarcane fishcake roll, Prawn roll)
6. Vietnam Coffee
7. Tidbit ( Peanut which cost MYR2.00)

This restaurant environment is cozy and spacious, not crowded and the meal dressing is nice anf attractive. For Beef Hue set, this restaurant serve a fried spring roll in a little rattan made basket, so cute and creative. However, it serves marinated white radish too, a very similar side dishes with Korean or Japanese food. Let me discover while i'm going Ho Chi Minh soon .. wakakakaka
The flat rice roll ( 肠粉）is typical HK dim sum style, not bad but a bit small portion. Luckily 3 of us able to grad one small roll .. ahahah
My fren who is funny enough and insist keep refilling the famous Vietnamese Coffee with hot water... She has requested and refilled 3 times!!! We only dare to order a cup as all of us has bad experiences ( insomnia after drank impact) with it. A small sip will do... Long time I didnt share drink or food with others... Hygiene? Health? Sanitary? In front of this couple, I rather follow my heart and do whatever suppose to do...

We are stupid enough to take photos with our newly bought smartphone, we are acting like old n IT idiots , shout to each others for slow taking pics process:  lighting @ contrast @ flash setting, how to turn on face detection setting and want to check the pic immediately, switching our phones from one to one. Other customers must feel very irritating.



Someone commented tht why I want to spend one hour driving to meet them. My answer is simple : 珍惜眼前人, feel gracious and appreciate whoever enlighten ur life.  May Lord look after this couple, grant them strength and wisdom to overcome this obstacles. Human efforts is limited but HE definitively can help us.
Looking forward to meet them soon....Yeah, another big feast... Any nice vegetarian restaurant recommend?

Indeed, I'm quite sad that I couldnt grab the First 500 finisher medal. Even though I ran without stop, the pace is still cant compete with other runners. This is first time I went with new frens and W so afraid I feel boring  during the event. The funny thing is we have discussing long enough where shall we go for supper after run... Kajang Satay, Cyberjaya Padi Restaurant, Sungai Besi McDonald. When new frens ask my opinion, I said : cincai lah...

Eventually, we ate at McD. What an ironic supper after a healthy run.

Well, have went to a new noodle shop near my current working place.. will u order abowl of noodle with cost u MYR128.00??? What a gimmick!!!

Will u order Fried Lard ... Dries pork fat with MYR 1.00??? Crazy..... Never go to this noodle shop again.

2012.07.08 Chicken Run

Sunday always full of fun n laugh, I went for a chicken run with badminton mates. Even its only 4.8km but we need to hold the fresh egg on top of ice-cream cone. If ur egg broken, u shall disqualify and u may start to cry. The event organizer is generous , with amount MYR36  ( group register):  a free T-shirt ( as usual), a water theme park entry ticket, a quarter chicken set meal, 2 cans of soft drinks, a beautiful food container n other minor free gifts. After run, we were very surprise that unlimited bottled isotonic drinks , cold milo and Nutrilite snack bars, Cone flovour cream bread providing by event organizer.  Eventually, I drank 3 bottles isotonic drinks and bring 1 bottle to water theme park, received 6 pcs snack bars ( market price, 1 pcs = MYR 2.00 ahahah), 2 cups of cold milo and ate 2 jagung roti...wahaahaa..

As expected, the less maintain water theme park is super lousy and nothing much to share on it.We just get wet ourselves in small pool n enjoy human-made wave before we move to a shopping mall for FOC 1/4 chic meal.

Since all of us have not watch this Spiderman movie, we are lucky enough to get the tickets at the last minutes. Eh, it's not cup of my tea. I almost fall in sleep esp 1st half of the movie, the storyline is so LAME, u can predict it easily. The stunt action is nothing amazing in these technology advancement progress. 

Before dismiss hahah..., we went to KhunThai for thai food.( u may refer d link for this restaurant information). This time we order 2 pots of Tom Yam (seafood & chicken), 2 plates of pandan chicken, 1 portion Thai papaya salad, 1 portion Thai mango salad, 1 pot green curry, 1 siakap fish, 2 jugs of Umbra drinks.

Thanks God for a blessed Sunday ;p

2012.0630_Putrajaya Floria 2012

Why I always make myself super busy during weekend? Should I stay at home n lying on the bed? The beauty of being alone is you can plan wherever n whenever your tend to go, no need to wait n get permission from others. As usual, my weekend is so COLOURFUL haaha... After 2 hrs yoga class & lunch with a newly meet buddy, W meanwhile send my car for quarter service, I got to rush back home for night out ;p
I decided to join my buddies to Putrajaya Floria 2012, 2012 theme is "Bougainvillea-enduring beauty".  I never thought some one is more terrible than me, my mate, F left his expensive SLR camera after dinner at restaurant. After 15 minutes, we had heading back to the same restaurant. Thanks God, restaurant owner has keep the camera. If we couldn't get back the camera, believe I shall end up on the bed that night itself. haha.

After camera incident, we are reviving and super lucky, the journey is very smooth, we found the car parking easily opposite the main entrance. We arrived at the right timing and the opening ceremony just started. The fireworks is magnificent and I love the event spokesperson in introducing each countries or states unique culture, traditional food , songs and major attractions while the decorated vessels parade at Putrajaya lake. Unfortunately, only two countries which is China & Kenya participating in the vessels parade.

There is a good term in mandarin describing myself while self-snapshoot with beautiful orchid = 发花痴 ( flowers lover? hahaha)
Thanks God, what an enjoyable night out

2012.06.24_KL Std Chrt Run

Happy to join this event as I'm able to complete the whole journey without stop under very hazed weather.The organizer notified us every 2km shall have a water station and every 4km an isotonic drinks station for us to dehydrate our body. Unfortunately, the event guy couldn't materialize what they committed, I only saw a water station at 4km point. From this event website, We were informed to complete the 10 km speed category run within 1 hour & 15 minutes. Eventually, those who spent more than the target time also receive the finishing medal. Well, my point is every deserve a complementary medal after complete the run. However, once the rules was set, we shall follow the rules.
We met a young boi, Dylon who is12 yrs old from Melaka to join this running event His dad dropped him at starting line before heading to other running category. He is brave and smart boi, can run like springbok ... super speed n fast. Indeed, he accompany to complete whole running. Without him, believe that I will stop n have a rest in the middle of journey. He keeps telling me that we are late and slow, pushing and encouraging me to move my foot. We completed the run together meanwhile waiting my other mates. Dylon was imposed by me to help me take pics hahah....

 My result no bad hor... hahaha.... Looking forward chicken run + MenHealth run soon ;p

2012 May China Trip ( ShangHai, SuZhou & HangZhou) Part III END

XiHu ( Eat Lake), I luv U. My fav spot among all the tourist destinations. It's very beautiful , just sitting there and enjoy the view, the breeze, the greenery and of course the crowd.  Wish to re-visit and spend few nights in Xi Hu. 

I seldom drink Chinese tea and don't know how to appreciate it. The tour guide, a very sarcastic lady and tea shop sales person keep push n pursue us to buy tea leaves. Did i purchase? The answer is NO ... hahaha 



B4 we back to hotel, the tour guide send us for dinner. Endless minor bones fish make us very headache. The only attraction on this meal is 3 layers pork,东坡肉. Well, taste is good if you dun mind FAT.... Another funny dish is ... dressing deep fried shrimp with corn flakes... The corn flakes is not crunchy at all...


Apparently, XiHu also has a nice pub zone  n also known as " Xin Tian Di", same as ShangHai. Again, due to time constraints, we couldn't spend to much time on this area... just look look see see within one hour...

Thanks God , this is last hotel!!! It looks nice but the bed was terrible! It was located at very rural area... Hence, night time is TV time....
Personal rate: 2.0/5.0


After breakfast, the tour guide give us two options: shop around nearby within hotel area or direct go to Hang Zhou Airport... Within half hour, we move back to hotel n inform tour guide we want go to Airport.Tour guide told us we can spend many hours at airport for shopping. All of us lloking forward n hope we can spend quality time at HangZhou Airport.


When we arrive airport... the airport just an airport.. NOTHING !!! After check in, we assume we can have more choice of foods at duty free zone. We make a horrible mistake: a cup of milk with 2 slices on sandwiches cost us MYR 35.00 ++.... It was the cheapest food we can find and the only food we can get in duty free zone.... Speechless....


Overall, I shouldn't complaint too much on this trip as the fees was disallow me to demand better service.
Eh, dun think I wanna join China trip anymore. Once in a blue moon is ENOUGH!!!
