Ms Chocolate, Thank You For Sweeten My Day

I went back to my flat after office, to get something and straight to Putrajaya Extreme Sportscentre untuk ber'wall climbing' bersama rakan-rakan...oooopsss kantoi la plak aku balik rumah dulu....takper...pali tak baca blog aku....as usual, park my car, get into the lift and push the button to my level and waited till the lift went up to my flat's unit...as i was walking down the hallway, i kept thinking whois this Ms Chocolate..then i open my grill door and almost step on another box, 2 bars and a packets of chocolate...this time it is two bars of Straciatella & Raspberry Lindt,  a box of belgian chocolate truffles and a packet of Daim...with it comes another note :

*One Sweet Day Isn't Enough, Have Another Sweet Day With Sweet Memories*
xoxo

Chocolate again? hurmmm...me and my sweet tooth...my friend asked me to beware...but Ms. Chocolate thanks again for sweetening my day...and i ate the chocolate without a second thought...coz i know that whomever you are, your intention tasted like chocolate....that is sweet....

With Love, Ms Chocolates

I am not feeling well since my laptop crashed...makan tak lalu (tipu sangat la kot)...shopping pon takder mood (2 pasang dah kasut masuk dalam keta)...tido tak lena (dalam kursus slambadak ajer tido)...mandi tak basah (siap memain air lagi dengan si Obi ari tu)...and i don't feel up to it....creating new memories that is...coz i still cherish the lost ones....

But it all went thru the window when i went back...there was a box of chocolate at my flat....actually there were a box of ferrero and 3 bars of cadbury and another packet of hersheys kisses to be exact and not to be missed, a small box of Godiva...and there was a note...a simple note...with simple scribbled words...yet understandable...

*May your new memories are as sweet as cholocates*
xoxo

I was flabbergasted...feeling better...as the day turns up to be as sweet as the chocolates....its all becoz of dear Ms. Chocolates...thanks to you, who ever you are or where ever you are....

Letter From Me To Myself

Dear Myself,

Once Broken Consider Sold. Done With The Old Ones, Make New Ones Instead. Let The Bygones Be Bygones. Memories Is Better Off In Our Hearts And Mind, Not In A Piece Of Steel. Don't Worry, Be Happy. As Tomorrow Is Another Day. And It Might Be THE DAY. Where It Promise A Better Day. Better Than Any Other Day. If You Wish For It To Be That Way.

Yours Sincerely,
ME

My Laptop Crashed, My Heart Does Too

I came back home from Bukit Merah to Putrajaya...as usual, the first thing that i do was plug in my computer to connect to the net...it turned on, not a prob, but it got stuck and not loading up the Windows XP....i tried several times, and i tried and i tried....until i face the fact that my laptop might got virus....which means there is only one solution, FORMAT....thinking of that word wrenched my heart as three years of my memories lays inside the small black box of wonders....omaigottttttttttttt....what should i do? i am wishing and praying for miracle....and worst case is, i dont have back up for all those memories that lies within the small black box of wonders....and i am really really praying hard for miracle...

Gone With The Land Below The Wind

Another weekend and another traveling...this time cuti-cuti malaysia lah (support la malaysia gak)...believe it or not i never been to Sabah before...and some of my friends snickered around this fact...hurmmm...takper lah...alhamdulillah rezeki ada i was able to go to one of the most beautiful place in Malaysia....it is just been separated by South China Sea...

This time around, i was with a different travel group...there were 7 of us (including me) and most of them already been to Kota Kinabalu before while 2 of them used to be a student in Universiti Malaysia Sabah...wahhh...how convenient....cool...we got off with a good start with a reasonable MAS airtickets (its RM198 return)...and only then did i know, for govt servants and Sabahans, they can actually get that price without the offer on the net, provided they go to the MAS counter one week prior to the flying date and ask whether they can get that price...cool huh...as for lodging, we stay for three nites in this clean, air-conditioned dormitory (separated all three guys in one dorm and the four girls in another) with shared bathroom and a friendly staffs...Lavender Lodge in Jalan Kg Air...and we just have to pay only RM75 per person for three nites (i couldn't even stay for one nite in Le Meridien for the three nites i am paying at the lodge eventho they are just 5mins apart)....and its actually the place they have all those 'Barbie Dolls' looking for customer...okay...ignore that....

The itinerary is simple....nak gi pulau, nak pi gunung and nak makan seafood....three important elements of this trip....memana pon boleh, janji tiga benda nie kena complete....the first nite we were there, we were too tired and just rest for the next morning (we departed from KL after working hours on Friday)...early morning, we woke up and headed to Jesselton Point after breakfast to take a boat ride to Manukan Island...it was a sunny day, the sky are blue and the sea is calm....no indication whatsoever that its going to rain...the boat ride was RM13 (we got RM5 off coz staying at the lodge) then have to pay for wat ntah RM6 and once reached the island another RM3 for entry fee....altogether it is RM22 for Manukan Island ride...it was beautiful...and you can rent the snorkeling goggles to swim with the fishes...nice view, nice weather and we have all those sandwiches to go along with the nice sunny picnic on Manukan Island....and we let loose...and all the camwhoring started off instantly (semua orang pantang nampak kamera okay...hahaha)...we were there till afternoon then we headed back to the hotel to rest....and i was looking like a lobster in no time....ya la...giler dok berenang-renang ala baywatch la, dok camwhoring under the sun...and did i mentioned that i became the 'Sandman'?

After a blissful sleep we went to the Philipines Night Market by the seaside, in front of Le Meridien which was 7 mins walking from the lodge...i was excited for some grilled seafood...but i was kinda crushed as it was not as i imagined it would be...i was told that it is damn cheap as for RM40 i can eat my heart out (hurmmm that sounds so wrong)...or anything that i want, may it be from crabs, to fish, to squids, clams, oysters, prawn and so on lah....but then again...once we reached the grilled seafood area, it is just almost the same price i was paying if i am to eat seafood in Penang....hurmmm....but then again i just paid RM10 for squids, sting ray and ikan merah (not sure what they called it in English)...but that if after the 7 peoples chipping in money lah...it is nearly RM70....but its okay....so seafood element is done and over with...no more dreaming about loading my stomach with seafood....we walk by the nite market where Nazri broke a sunglasses...Dengg!!!!...then he bought another...and all the girls went on to have their own 'fellowship of the rings' and me, i bought pearl buttons for RM10...for 3 sets....cool...after coffee, the rented car for the next day arrived....avanza 1.3 which can accomodate 7 of us for RM250 per day...itu pun lepas telefon beberapa orang and tawar menawar bagai nak crazy...but then we were satisfied enough la...

Early morning dah kuar dari lodge mengembara ke arah Kinabalu Park/ Kundasang/ Ranau....its about 2 hours ride...along the way, we stop at various places for some beauty camwhoring shots lah...biasa la dah terphotogediks ini susah la nak brenti...nampak chantekkkk ajer, terus nak gambar....

There was this one spot where you can see the full view of via ferrata...but it was cold and the clouds covered the view but still, camwhoring is a must...we continue with our journey to Kinabalu Park and paid RM3 per person...but this ticket is also applicable for the hot springs in Poring....so its okay...

We resumed with 'ikan kelah sucking up your hands and feet' adventure in what-da-name-of-da-place-i-cant-remember....RM5 person for 15 mins for feet only, if full body (meaning you dive in until all that was left was your head above the water) for 10mins...but it was deng geli weih....my face went red with all those laughing....goshhh....enough with the fishes, we headed to Poring for some hot springs time....and of course some canopy walk lah...tapi kena add in RM3 per person...and RM5 per camera....only then did i know that it is undeniably scary....my legs went soggy...but i had fun with the fear...huahauhauh....we went on to be a bit ambitious...going to Kudat...which would take about 3 hours that is....but then again...as ambitious as we were, we reached Kudat about 6:15 p.m....but the catch is...6:15 p.m in Kudat is as dark as 8:15 p.m in the peninsular...jadi tak dapek la chek nak pi tengok Tip Of Borneo itu....uhuhuhuhu....sedih....sampai balik Kota Kinabalu almost 10:00 p.m already and we had dinner by the beach in Tanjung Lipat and then resume back to the lodge...rest for the final nite in Borneo....

The Final morning we went out of the lodge (check out as well) around 10 a.m...walk to City Parade and then straight to the shuttle bus station to take us direct to 1Borneo, the biggest megamall ala midvalley (and deng spacious too)...we had our lunch in Dome then met one of my friend who were posted to Sabah...

Then headed back to the town area to Philipines Market...the trick is you really have to bargain...there were a lot of stalls there inside and all of them are selling the same item...so have to brace yourself from getting cheated...there was this auntie stall, very deng cheap weih...for t-shirts and fridge magnets la (benda wajib aku beli)...other places selling price was RM20++ for t-shirt and RM5++ per fridge magnet...tapi auntie ni direct nego takdak kompromi terus letak t-shirt RM13 and fridge magnet 4 untuk RM10....wahhh....giler beza okay....then we headed on to buy some ikan kering/ ikan bilis/ ikan masin at Pasar Ikan Masin next to Philipines Market....en route back to the lodge (nak amik beg), ada la stopover kat Jamilah Jewellery...ada orang nak shopping pearl aper ler plak....then resume walking back to the lodge....

We had the taxi van sending us to the airport...our flight back to KL is an international transit flight from Narita, Japan...so instead of the normal 747 flight, we were flying with 777 flight...hahaha...best giler siot....tapi the pramugari aren't that friendly, 'maybe' due to the long overhaul 8 hours flight, but then again, you are paid to smile...do that la....the other pramugara and pramugari okay ajer...takder pon nak masam bad mood...and it was on the same flight wat...i dont know whether they have transit stewardess, that change on the transit destination lah...or at least be courteous...ni tak...dia pi la sembang apa ntah dengan this passenger kat tepi tu in 'foreign language' and totally ignore la si Ina dok nak mintak air....cian kat ina...hahaha....but its okay.....mana tau kot2 dia tu perlu memakai 'bisik' kan...huahauhauhau.....

Arrived in KLIA safe and sound.....and we all had great time despite the long hours drive and all...but we all had our share of fun and can't wait for another outing together....it is great to go for vacation with a group that can compromise with each other and don't need all the spotlight upon themselves only.....arghhhh....and i still had my head thinking that i was Gone With The Land Below The Wind....

Restless Capital Of Thailand

After having a very rough day the day before, untuk last day nie aku tak kira aku nak have fun and of coz say NO to tuk tuk and taxi...pepagi ari aku bangun la semayang then straight to the swimming pool itu...takdak orang kat swimming pool tapi dah panas terik siotttt....mau terbakar kulit aku dowh....

Abis ajer swimming terus la kemas barang and all and getting ready to check out from the room lah...check out ajer terus tinggal all the bags kat concierge...then walk down the street for a cab to get us to the MRT station (senang coz MRT dia punya stop betul betul kat Chatuchak)....almost kena lagi skali dok cakap cheap taxi ride itu...tapi kitorang dah insist we are NOT going to other places other than Chatuchak...so naik ajer ler taxi sampai MRT jer...

Sampai Chatuchak memang penuh dengan orang and it was huge...but i am not into shopping..so i just walk around letting Jaja & Tina do all the shopping...i didn't buy anything except the fridge magnets for my own collection...a hat for my best bud, and then just walk and walk and walk again until my legs went soggy...

We took the MRT back to Sukhumvit, took a cab back to the hotel and have our final and last lunch in Bangkok before our flight later that evening...there was this muslim restaurant...makan la kat situ sampai kenyang and aku tetap gak nak singgah kat 7E sebab nak Ovaltine dia yang tarbaikkkk itu....and then less than 1 hour later we arrived in Suvarnabhumi International Airport....and guess what, there were some sort of tunjuk perasaan la kat airport itu...tapi ada aku kesah? hahaha...janji aku bley balik sudah....

And one more thing, airport dia cam puduraya jadinya...busy siot....but thinking back, yeah they have airasia landing in the same airport....patut la...hurmmm...okay la tu....tapi aku tensen betul dengan orang imigresen dia....dah ler tak senyum and then lambat plak tu, and by the time aku dah siap imigresen check, dah final call...apa lagi aku berlari2 pecut ala watson nyambek la....jauh denggggg....dengan beg backpack aku yang besar tu aku berlari lari sampai tercungap2 sampai kat gate...and the pramugari just smiled at me and asked me to calm down....dengggg...malu siot....aku ingatkan sampai terus la masuk plane, tapi rupa-rupanya kena naik feeder bus gi ke plane dia....wahhhh.....ni first time okay....hahaha...its good experience and one more thing la kan, kat situ diorang tak kisah pon ko nak amik gambar...tapi kat LCCT memang ko dah siap ada warning sign tak bley tangkap gambar kat dia punya lapangan sebelum naik flight....

Dok la aku dalam flight sesorang coz beza tiket dengan tina, zaimee and jaja....pastu aku langsung tak paham aper la yang ketua pramugari dia itu cakap....cannot understand lorrr...and recently i got a survey form from airasia mailed to my email la kan....aku terus ajer cakap pasal dia punya cust service yang sangat lembap mengangkat telefon, to thai's stewardness not-understandable instruction (and i tot that you have to be fluent in english to be a cabin crew despite whichever country you are from) and also the ticket counter kat KL Sentral yang maha lambat itu (actually that's my friend's complaint and i just add in sebab aku beli tiket semua online ajer..hauhaah)....but then again...i just sat back and relax and sedar2 aku dah sampai kat LCCT....

Back to Malaysian soil....arghhh breathe the fresh air of my home country again....memang le best gi negara orang...but i just want the experience of it...i never let myself thinking that i want to stay there...sebab aku ni memang kuno kot....i just like to travel and thats it....i rather love living in malaysia....i was content with malaysia....and i was restless in capital of Thailand....

Sekarang Cinta Pakai Otak

Aku tengah driving pergi kerja pagi when i first heard of this song...all i can catch was Hey Ladies...mesti lagu indonesia inieh...and cam sora Rossa...oklah fine...then bila sampai kerja kebetulan staff aku pasang lagu nie...terus la aku tanya dia tajuk apa...then i download it from the internet....then aku pon dengar kat iPod aku...then i found that the lyrics is interesting....

Tapi betul la aku memang boleh relate lagu dengan sebahagian kengkawan pompuan yang aku kenal (no offense okay, just based on observation)....you see nowadays, bley ler tengok yang laki ni makin berkurang la (tu tak tolak lagi the ones that is totally out of the picture)...so all the girls have to berebut okay to get a guy (ooopsss)...but then again, some got a total NO NO NO kind of guy and they are okay with it as long as they have someone to call as their boy friend instead of just being plain single (true okay, statement yang aku dengar from some of girls)...giler ngok ngek okay...tapi aku tak salahkan diorang la...it is a matters of a heart (oooopsss) tapi kekadang aku rasa its more on the matters of loneliness (ooopss i see it coming, mesti aku kena hempuk nieh)....not that i call them desperados la, but just think la...use your brain...cam lagu si Rossa tu - Cinta Pakai Otak Jangan Rugi Hati Rugi Waktu...

Sudah Ku Bilang Jangan Terlalu Yakin, the starting of the song totally dedicated to the girls who are too blind to see what is in front of their eyes...or they see and know it but they just choose to ignore it...ulang balik...PAKAI OTAK!!! aku kekadang geram betul with some of the girls that i know who are totally and 'faithfully' supported their boyfriends' wrongdoing...not that others want to interfere with their relationship, but the thing is please lah...Nanti Patah Hati Siapa Mau Nolong?...mai ler terkedek kedek balik kat kengkawan ini yang dah ulang berulang kali....deng tak? dulu waktu zaman berpeleseran orang bagitau taknak dengar, then when the thing doesn't went towards her way baru ler nak carik balik kengkawan....itu lagi satu yang aku bengang...why when you have a relationship (other than marriages), you have to give up your friends who had been by your side thruout your life (even thruout your 'courting' period okay, some even help out)....yo! korang kenal kengkawan lagi lama daripada kenal bf/ gf korang kottt!!! (for this case it applied to both gender)...

Kita Juga Bisa Menipu Dan Menduakan....totally true....i never object to this particular phrase....ingat laki ajer yang dok menipu? pompuan pon ada jugak okay...and sucks giler...aku pon tak tau ler apsal orang highlight laki ajer menipu as kalau menipu pon dengan pompuan lain yang means that particular pompuan lain itu juga terlibat dalam penipuan secara tidak langsung....Memanglah Tidak Semua Lelaki Busuk...of coz la hello...aku salah sorang yang tak busuk okay...minyak wangi ada lagi kat rumah...tak pakai pon still senantiasa okay ajer...(tapi aku still teringat dulu keja kat kopibin, si Natasha Hudson masuk abis satu kedai bau wangi giler)....hahahahahaha

Then sh*t happens pastu departed both your ways datang la menangis nangis....hurmmm...kalau tak, asyik ajer tinggal kawan...aku gerem betul dengan orang camnie....ya la...aku pun pernah la gak berkapel kan...but never i discard my friends...eventho sometimes memang terpaksa la kan...but not everytime la...sampai kan ada some tu siap suh rahsiakan jumpa diorang takut nanti bf jeles...huh???aperkah???what ever lah...

But the thing is, i just try to look back on what had happened around and i know that there are lots of people yang bercinta tapi tak berfikir panjan...sorry to say lah...and satu lagi aku heran la kan...setiap kali berkapel dok i love you , you love me la....huh? aku heran la sangat....setiapkali kapel baru its all about love...but hello if you already been thru more than 3 relationship that you 'claimed' it that it was based on love, i dont believe it...based on lust is more accurate...ya la...for me la kan (not everybody thinks the same)...its not easy for you to fall in love...and for you to fall out of it...if anyone come to me and say they are in love everytime they have a single crush or start a relationship....well first time - i will say good for you, second time - hope that its not a rebound love, third time - are you sure????? fourth time and after that - owh yeah...great (~sarcastic tone applied~)...until the time when you got married and you say you are in love, then i would say ~i wish i could be like you as well~ honestly....otherwise, its just another telenovela in the making lah....

Maybe that's why la aku still single kot...coz i dont find a person whom i want to love (just yet)...and i still remember Ikram's advice, just let yourself caught up with emotions with your truly wedded wife...otherwise it is all kinda not real...as you dont know whether the person you are dating is actually your soulmate...hurmmm...and furthermore la kan, its easier that way...no complication of emotions...nak break it off pon senang...tiada element patah hati di sini....kalau nanti la ditakdirkan aku jumpa la jodoh aku...tarak la nak tunang ker haper ker....ON ajer terus....hahaha...ya la...kalau difikirkan la...if seriously you are in love, what are you waiting for? sealed it lah....so kesimpulannya fikirlah....and believe me i try to use it in this particular matter....never let your heart clouds away what's in your brain...

Sleepless In Bangkok

First day was over with the nite stay in Miami Hotel, giler grand nama tapi sayangnya tak se-grand hotelnya...early morning, check out and then took a cab to Grand Mercure, Park Avenue Bangkok...giler damn luxurious...not that 5 star la...tapi 4 star ajer...huahuahuah....but we got a way cheaper price than if we were to walk in....its 1800baht compared to the walk in price of 4200baht...and a friend of mine once mentioned that some places in Bangkok (in Indonesia as well), they charge a foreigner rates....memang mahal weih...tapi kalau orang tu dari England okay la kot....1800baht baru GBP30...kat England dapat backpackers ajer harga tu okay....but still my friend said that some foreigners aren't willing to pay for that price and demand cheaper price...wadahek?

Okay enough la with blabbering about others....lepas check in hotel, we check out the hotel...bilik aku memang terus mengadap swimming pool....our room was on the 7th floor...view memang tarbaikkk punya la...tengok la mat saleh2 itu sedang getting sun tan....tapi yang tak bestnya awat la semua pon spesis aku gak...mana spesis hawa nak sun tan tu....ceh...tapi Jaja dengan Tina suka la kot....huahuahua

I already routed out the places that we wanted to go...tapi biasa la....plan is plan...we were fooled by 5baht tuk tuk ride....ngengong tul...so next time if you are in Bangkok beware of the cheap taxi and tuk tuk ride...coz they aren't going to bring you to the places that you wanted to go but instead they take you to the places that they can earn komisyen kalau ko shopping....and senang cakap la...those places aren't cheap woooo....deng expensive....bengang giler aku....wasting my time only....from the supposed to be 'cheap' and 'affordable' shop to the seriously made me lose my mood eating place....tapi nasib baik la dia masak kat restoran tu sedap...if not memang totally aku terbalikkan tuk tuk dia (not that i dare to do so la, nak mamposss?)...and one more thing that got me pissed was this one supposed to be 'affordable' shop la...affordable aper kalau fridge magnet yang aku boleh beli dengan harga 35baht kat chatuchak dia charge sampai 350baht...ingat aku bodo....even in europe they only charge around 3-5 euros okay and its expensive la bila tukar duit malaysia but not even near RM30 la...tapi ini memang too much la....i got pissed and i don't care whether the tuk tuk driver got pissed as well (since we didn't buy anything from the shops that he bring us, no sale, no komisyen la)....he dropped us off in the middle of the street waktu lampu merah...boleh tak? tapi out of humanity la kan kitorang tak sampai ati la nak bagi 5baht~RM0.50 sebab dah bring us around...so we gave him 100baht...and he was deng happy....but i was not...TOTALLY PISSED....

So no more tuk tuk or taxi ride...just walk around the area....and in Sukhumvit they have this nite market that started quite early....so we just walk around and bought some things...one thing you have to do is to BARGAIN....go as low as possible...coz memang diorang ni mencekik darah orang bangang....but we got a reasonable price and my mood get better a bit lah....since i insist on no more taxi and tuk tuk ride, and they were eyeing on the Skytrain as well, so kitorang pon naik la Skytrain gi balik hotel....tak jauh pon...tapi gatai nak naik...and fyi, bangkok rail are more advance than Malaysia...the Skytrain is two levels rail and the subway also two levels rail underground....the subway was designed after the Singapore MRT....laju sieh....

Skytrain took us rite into the station that connects to Emporium (one of the high-end shopping mall) and tengah ada SALE...deng i already used my 9 lives when i went to Bandung...so NO SHOPPING...but i was really almost succumbed to the shopaholic virus when Nautica had sale and it was deng cheap weih...boutique Nautica selling the shirt of the original price of 2500baht for only 500baht...aku dah hampir terjebak...tapi nasib la baju-baju (note the plural terms) yang aku suka semua tarak size aku....fyi aku pakai L not XL....then we went on around the mall and then headed back to the hotel by walking coz its just 10mins walk....okay la...

It was nearly 6.00p.m but it was already dark (Bangkok is - 1 hour from Malaysia) so it was 7.00p.m Malaysia time...we went back to the hotel and i have to go out to meet Rose to gave her some thing that her bf asked me to give to her....so naik la aku MRT itu sampai ke almost the last stop....actually si Rose tu bley ajer gi hotel yang aku duduk but since aku pun sajer jer nak menenangkan fikiran, i offered to go around her area instead....when i arrived at the station she picked me up and we had a drink over the side of Chao Phraya River....but dengggg aku terlupa bawak kamera....siot betul....tak dapat la aku tangkap gambar...then she offered to sent me back to the hotel but i just asked her to send me back to MRT...then i took the MRT ride back to Sukhumvit....

Tina, Zaimee and Jaja already went out and had their head, shoulder, foot and whatever massage along with mani-padi lah...and then we went out for a walk around the area and then took a cab to Pat Pong area....it was already past midnite and we insist the the taxi driver use meter (always insist on this)...coz he want to charge us flat rate of 100baht but since we insist on meter, it reads only 60baht...boleh tak...once arrive in Pat Pong, all the shop ala petaling street itu sudah closing but we walk by anyway...it seriously have an eery resemblance of Petaling Street except that they have all those ago go shows in the shophouses lah...and all those pimps la...gerem la aku...nak jalan pon tak senang....but my friend already told me to just ignore them and don't give in to their constant demand for you to watch the shows that they promotes....but i just IGNORE...

Tapi bila nak balik hotel memang takder choice but have to pay their price la for the cab....instead of 60baht, we were charged 150baht...biaq pi la...janji sampai balik hotel....once arrived in the hotel...i was too tired to think already and the clock shows almost 4 a.m in the morning....so go to sleep la...eventho it is going to be just a short nap since we planned to go to Chatuchak comes the morning...i already missed my supposed to do list which were going on a boat ride along Chao Phraya and Grand Palace...whatever it is i had a rough day (and i was cursing every single crude words possible in my head) and by nite i was Sleepless In Bangkok....

Crocodile Farm & Tiger...and also elephants...

One fine day, in Suvarnabhumi International Airport, there were 4 best friends, the married couple and the travel mates just landed from Kuala Lumpur...they were waiting for taxi to get them to the town...they went up to the departure floor and waited for a cab there and met this one taxi driver who took them to town...

The husband took the seat in front while three others sat at the back...the husband natural friendly manner got the taxi driver to speak with him about what's nice in Bangkok....the taxi driver was mentioning something about the floating market which was about 1 hour ride from the town and along the way there were some tourist places that they can stop for some touristy time...

The taxi driver was telling the husband about crocodile farm when the husband asked the husband about tiger show...the conversation went roughly like this :-

Taxi Driver : You can go to crocodile farm to see crocodile show when come back from floating market
Husband : Where to see tiger show?
Taxi Driver : Crocodile Farm also got tiger...there also tiger show in crocodile farm...elephant show also.
Husband : Huh?
Wife & Travel Mates : ~Flabbergasted~ laughing like crazy while trying not to make a sound...

In The Nutshell :
Crocodile Farm also not only got crocodile show...they also got tiger that can have tiger show...ooopsss wait...elephant show too..

Writer :
Laughing like crazy while writing this...

Sinful City Of The East In Bangkok

This is my 11th outing this year...and this might be the last lah (kalau Perth tak jadi in December)...this time i went there with my close buddies and my new travel companion, Jaja...this marks the second time i been to Bangkok, supposed second time was 2007 tapi sebab aku kena pi Unggul so burnt la tiket itu....its okay...ada rezeki, alhamdulillah pergi....

Cam biasa lah, its the cheap ticket of only RM150 return including baggage allowance of 15kg (memandangkan aku agak sengkek, so tak kisah la pasal beg)...prior to going there, we actually browsed the internet to find some hotels la nak duduk....sebab si Tina mengandung so nak cari tempat yang selesa skit la, meaning backpackers are totally crossed out off the list...and another thing la, jangan la percaya sangat gambar kat internet...hahaha...i learnt my lesson....its not that what they provide are not the same as the actual, tapi memang dalam internet nampak cantik, even when i take a look in camera, it looks soooo fine....tapi nasib baik la hotel murah ajer 900Bht....so blasah ajer ler tido satu malam kat hotel itu....lagipun memang planning satu malam hotel biasa and another nite splurge lah....heheeh...

I was a lil bit surprised to see Suvarnabhumi (the first time i went to Bangkok was via train from Penang)..it was huge...more so than KLIA....after took our bags we went up to the departure area to take a cab (coz its cheaper than taking the one at the designated taxi place)....the cab at the departure level are the ones that drop off the passangers and really headed back to the city....its 500Bht compared to the airport limo that can charge up to 1000Bht or the taxi at the arrivals can charge up to 800Bht or more...okay la....just move on to the city centre....

Eventho Thailand is not one of the Commonwealth country, but not surprisingly a lot of their people can converse in a very-hard-to-understand-accent-english since tourism is one of their total core-business....but as pening as it was, at least it still understandable and manage got us around...

Once arrived in the hotel, we check in, and i change to shorts and my crocs...we started to make a move out...luckily the hotel we were staying is in Sukhumvit Road, which is one of the most happening area in the whole Bangkok...we just toured out around the area while looking at a more comfortable hotel to stay for the next nite...we managed to find another hotel at a relatively cheap price from the price advertise over the net, Grand Mercure, Park Avenue in Soi 22....its cost two times the price we were paying for the previous hotel...but okay la...sebab zaimee and tina pon nak berhoneymoon kat Bangkok...okay fine la aku pun sanggup ajer....

after we managed to book the hotel, we went on walking around the area...and they have a lot of very damn cheap massage...i have my foot massage for only 200bht per hour....deng cheap weih...and my feet feels lighter afterwards....lepas abis of coz la perut terasa lapar....and luckily next to the hotel, there was a bangladeshi's restaurant....and its halal....alhamdulillah....aku pon pesan nasi goreng dia yang sangat la besar bagak itu....but then again, i have my stomach full.....and when my stomach full, i am happy....and at least for the weekend i want to get out of the town and got out from those people who constantly demanding my attention....for this trip, i only want to give attention to myself....get a rest and just ease my mind off things...had several things planned out for the next day....but execution-wise.....hurmmmm.....

fyi its 10bht ~ RM1
