Bkk trip IV
Day 4 - Going back to Bkk from Pattaya. I showed 'face colour' to the tour guide liao, coz she spent so much time at the Gem factory, even longer then the other day's herbal factory!! The dry food market cut throat also, one pack selling RM15! chi sin! Who wanna buy?!
Safari Park at Bangkok. Wah....walked till beh tong loh. From one show to another got to walk damn far.
OK, going back to the same hotel we stayed during our first night at BKK.

The dolphin and whale show.
The James Bond 007 show. Speaking in thai language, so you just have to watch the explosion scenes enough, the rest *yawn*. ;)
The safari world - You are allowed to drive your own vehicles in for the animal watching. Impressive!
We were given 2 hrs (5p.m. to 7p.m) to shop at MBK center nia nia!!!! Imagine lah yourself, mana cukup right?! All priced at '199 baht', '299 baht'...wah.......somemore the shops got soooooooooooooo many leh. Too tempting oi! So since we got limited time, then mah saved money loh. :)
Here's some of the things we bought. We bought bread and cake also for the next morning's breakfast coz we got to go airport by 4.30a.m.!
OK, going back to the same hotel we stayed during our first night at BKK.
Bkk trip III
Day 3 - departing to Coral Island. Here's the para-sailing 浮台, halfway of the journey to the Coral Island. I was very very very impressed with their professionalism. Every 10 sec or less they managed to get one person landed and another one departed. It's a lot safer than Pg one.
Both CE and I hiao.
Some of our 'rewards'.
After coming back to Pattaya from Coral Island, we were brought to the wax museum. Don't get too excited tau.....there were only ~21 wax monks there only. Nothing fancy, no celebrities ok. You are not allowed to take pic of theirs. So we ended up shooting some outside of that building.
On the way to Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, we passed by this .
The cultural show inside NongNooch.
The elephant show inside NongNooch.
HardRock Cafe at Pattaya (where our massage center was located nearby).

BKK trip II
Chaophraya River
Wat Arun's souvenirs of mine & my gang.
Along the riverside got these temples & other remarkable buildings & etc...including the Wat Arun.
The so-called FLOATING MARKET. (Ya....three boats nia...somemore selling souvenir. This is the BKK city 'for tourist guide' punya floating market, not the original floating market, mind you!) Everyone kena tipu. The tour guide said you ppl must mention you want ORIGINAL floating market when you book with your tour agents. The location needs 2 hr drive from Bkk city.
The WAT ARUN.
Wat Arun's souvenirs of mine & my gang.
The Sriracha Tiger Zoo.
The Royal Century hotel at Pattaya.
Out of so many, only got ONE very pretty totally like barbie doll one nia. The KL couple told the tour guide," Wah...only got one pretty nia leh, tipu duit lah."
Baht 600 (~RM60)per person.
BKK food updated at Delicacies Corner

Central World shopping complex - equivalent to KLCC-sort-of, expensive.
Outside Central World got 'temple'.
We walked from Central World -> Big C -> Partunam then back again. At 6p.m. most of the shops closed at Partunam and we wondered why so many of them pushed and shifted the clothes walking-racks around. Later on then only we found out they have actually shifted outside the complex, to display as roadside stalls. Ah ha!
Taxi fare from Central World to our hotel (sang-ka-la area) costed ~70baht (RM7).

Worry too much
船到桥头自然直.
Before I went to KL, I worried the journey of mine from Sentral to the hotel, whether to take a cab or a monorail. I worried that I might not be having enough time to get the info I was assigned to find out in Nepcon. I worried that I might not be having enough time to visit Lna's house. The one I worried most was the returning day when I had to take a cab during peak after-office hours to reach Sentral, in order for me to catch the flight in time.
During the departure day, my flight was cancelled then the crowd made big fuss about the 3-hr- later- next- available flight. Who knows then later I managed to squeeze in the 1-hr- later-available flight. I thought I would have to eat at hotel odi when I was in the cab directing to my hotel, who knows then I reached KLCC 30 mins before it closed and I managed to dine in Dome also.
Other than the Lna's house visit that I missed out, everything ended up ran smoothly. So why worried so much leh?! Sii kao sii tam thng , boh bi zhu huan tzu thng (when the 'time' comes it will be responsible by itself, no rice then cook sweet potato soup !)

Did I not walk enough uh?!
OK, during my stay in KL, I got to walk to and fro at least twice per day between Impiana Hotel & KL convention center. One time during lunch; another time after the workshop, before the Nepcon closed. Additional time was after bathing to go cari makan. Not to mention somemore the walking with me carrying the luggage inside the KLIA /Sentral there.
OK, now in Pg pula. Yesterday after walking two times of circles in matta fair (went in and out for two times) , when rushing to meet the gang at Qbay, damn I have to park my car near to the roundabout (due to the carnival causing traffic chaos there) and walk so damn long distance till the old town kopitiam that end.
Today, at matta fair again, another two and half times of circles walking inside including the 'yun wong lou' searching for my colleague BC! Later on from one booth to another comparing the itinerary and price etc, OK, I surrendered and made full use of every chance to sit down when they made enquiry. I let BC and her cousin to make the decision as for me taiwan trip with or without hualian coast also can one lah. At last it's settled to opt out that hualian and it was in late Sept.
Having finished that with kaki lenguh, at 4 p.m. I proceeded to Carpet Hike, which was a kang tao told by BC brother (mtb gang), prior to this matta fair. Hohoho! One hr of hike up to The Carpet route, argh! I have been to the Carpet many times with mountainbike in the past but not hiking up. This was my first time. This hike really brought back my memory on this killing ascending path which I hate last time when mtb! When BC and I reached there then only we happened to know that it was actually a group of BJ hikers that were invited by one of the estate owners to have a fruit party there. There were durians, nangka, cempedak, rambutan, porridge, char mee, tao eu bak and the best was the pu er tea. :) I tasted some also.
During this hiking trip, I was reminded again on my last mtb fall (2 yrs back). :( It was just a simple chat starting with asking whether if I have been to this route before. And you know lah......"Ya, mtb before but not hiking...." so on and so forth. Apparently the mtb circle was so well-linked that they (even from this group which I have never seen before) also knew about the story of this mtb lady who fell 'terribly' and never come back again. "Oh ! it's YOU hor.....that's why got to be careful loh blah blah blah blah.....*really felt like korek lubang aje* BC also added,"Ha, it seemed like your story has become an 'example' to alert the mtb'kers."
Ai...tolong....mai kuk kong liao! :)

Milo spillage on flight
On the return flight back to PG last Thu night, there was a flight stewardess (Chinese,C) that accidentally poured a milo over the body of a japanese lady, who was sitting 3 rows in front of me. (Haha! exactly like the drama series uh?!). C kept saying "I am very sorry..I am so sorry....I am very sorry......" for not less than 30 times lah for the whole journey. She offered the towel, offered to bring down her luggage so that she could have a clothes change, offered almost everything she could think of lah but the Jap seemed like 'tak mau/payah' loh. I heard them kept on laughing.
Later her supervisor came, a Malay stewardess came to assist. This C frowned and muttered," Sei lah lit chi, sei lah!" while she walked to the back (we were at seat 22-25 thus very near to the rear toilet). After a long session of chicken and duck talk, she said to another male flight attendance," Tak....Dia tak ada luggage langsung kat sini, tak dapat tukarrrr."
They finally after about 15 minutes, able to convince her to walk to the toilet to clean despite the towel cleaning done at her seat. I could see her shirt and pants were stained all over.
Later on before landing, this supervisor came and asked the Jap lady with sign language (thumb raised up with 'bagus' sign) whether her clothes OK? her Mp3 ok? her everything OK? and told her she need to report on behalf of her if there 's anything wrong happened. A bit of chicken and duck talk still as the Jap lady and her friends sitting beside her did not seem to understand. Even the jap old guy sitting opposite also couldn't seem to understand. The supervisor did not give up, told her again and again," Can you switch on your mp3 and see if it works? I need to write report. Ya, ya, this one, ON it, ya, press ON....power ON....If not working, I need to raise a report so that you can claim." Ha! right at this juncture, the Jap old lady at the back of the seat came into scene, translated to them. The supervisor was so glad that there's finally somebody who could do the translation so she talked to this old lady what she needs to know whether her mp3 was working. AND.....what happened after kilikulu kilikulu, I could see from the expression of the supervisor,"So..NO? not working?!.....OK, I'll write the report."
The supervisor left to get something. The jap lady (who got spilled) and her friend, plus the old jap guy sitting opposite side (they were of one gang) laughed with kilikulu kilikulu.
The supervisor later came with paper and let both of the ladies signed. The Jap lady at the back asked "why ?" The supervisor told her," coz you are the one who helped us to translate."
Hehe....are you thinking what I think? :)

My KL story goes like this...
My flight was at 5.10p.m. but then it was announced 'cancelled' (not 'delayed', but 'cancelled' oh) due to the planes were not able to land thus they putar balik to KL. (Tau lah apa sebabnya kan? The storm rain + wind mia pasal loh).
Therefore, due to unforseen 'operational' reason (which was announced so), it ended up a lot of F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck here and there, from different races. Hehe, especially those who got connecting flight at KL to Bangkok and KCH.
The pic showed the crowd flocking at the boarding gate awaiting to be 'allocated' with upcoming flights at 6 something pm. (It was at first told by them the earliest next available flight was 7.45pm which let every passenger frowned).
It was about 9 something then I went out to cari makan myself. The hotel bellboy told me to go to KLCC using cut-short way - which was opposite the hotel, went through a car park, then walked past the mandarin oriental hotel and then entering the KLCC park. It was there that I witnessed a snatch theft happened on a couple, who were about 10 steps away from me. I didn't aware until the lady fell down, yelled out loud, and I saw the security guards ran past me, one from my side, another one from my back. Well, OK, I did not think they managed to catch them lah.
I stood there in the middle for quite 'some' time (I think 1 min) until my 'consciousness' was fully 'back' then I quickly walked to KLCC entrance. I just couldn't imagine with just another 20 steps or more away there were so many ppl there in front of the fountain and yet the snatch thieves dare to do so in the public.
I looked at the entrance there stated' close at 10.pm' . Wahlau, I cincai chose one restaurant which is nearest to me lah. Guess where ?!
OK, that's my workshop.
The first night was spent yao chae hor looking at the city, thanks to Botak.
The 2nd night was spent having dinner with Lena.
For these two days, I walked a lot leh. Coz during the day, we got very limited time to get info
at Nepcon. I got to steal time loh to go during lunch and also after the workshop finished. Thanks to two very friendly malacca-co guys for being my sifu on where to locate the booths I aimed for.
Hmm! talking about this. I could still remember the LC guy (who is actually my ex-form6- schoolmate) that we met during A* wedding dinner ~two weeks ago. He was so LCLY when I asked him for something about this field. Compared to these two (malacc) guys who have had 10 & 12 yrs experience respectively in this field - it's like 'sky and earth', man! They were so friendly and willing to share and introduce you to the vendors they know. LC for what?!

No cinderella night
Last Sat was a girls-night-out. We 5x (LK, Len,Lil, CL and I) in one car going down to town to attend A* wedding dinner. We were late in departure due to Len was coming all the way from KL. I guess it has been at least > 6 yrs since we 5x this combination last got the chance to travel together inside a car for an outing.
The result of hanging out till late for one nite was for the subsequent few days I could not go back to my usual bed time. Argh!! :(
After the dinner, we went to meet up WM at eGate and chatted till 12.
It's also for the 2nd time that we dropped by CL house in the midnight (over 12 a.m.)! Last time was LK and I. This time so happended the other 3x haven't been there b4 so before Lil dropping everyone off, we all went up again loh to CL house. Ha! I really did not know how will CL's hubby think of us, "how come my wife's friends like to come to our house during midnight one ah?"
It's a golden opportunity for us this combination to hang out over cinderella hours. Hardly available in years! Therefore eventhough we were tired, sleepy (at least two!) but excited heng chiok chiok to join also lah.

Worth sharing...
For the past few days I was having difficulty in posting blogs therefore there's a long pause here.
Wah...this one 'chim' ah! If follow too jip sim, end up apa pun takda. :)
Sarcastic but realistic!
Understand but boh chai tiao follow. :)
True also.
Ai....apa nak buat?
I believe in this. The promise made in joy is mostly overwhelmed tak jadi one. The reply made while you are sad will make you regret later. The decision made in anger is always painful!
This one is cruel but dead true. 2006 went halfway already loh. *sob sob*
Wanna share these with you ages ago. From fwd mail.
