Its Runiz life

My tears still drop...

2011-03-28T07:01:00.000-07:00

Dear blog,

U have become my new besfren. These few days, rindu sangat kat Mama. I have so many things to share but there is no one for me to talk to. Papa lain..abg pun lain. Last weken , aku visit pusara mama after 1 month tak visit. I cant control myself bcos I MISS MAMA so much. I was so down. Terlalu lemah, terlalu sedih, terlalu rindu. On Sunday, aku pergi sorang diri. Just to be near mama alone. I told her I have bought new car...I told her I got bonus, I told her everything I want to tell her hoping that all that disampaikan pada Mama. I ask Allah to give me strengh like He gave to my mama before.... Right now i feel so fragile and lost...Ya Allah, kuatkan aku...

I go through mama recipe book today. Ada satu buku ditulis year 1981..I was 4yrs old by then. I come across my drawing , well actually my conteng2 in the book. Mama tak padam pun... mama biar je kat situ in between the recipe... My tears drop fast... I dont even remember I had my drawing in there. I have not open the book since then i guess....

When I was in kindergarden, mama send me by walking..its not near, but mama dont care. I was tough kid back then. Tak nak pergi sekolah...panjat pagar and all...Mama sabar layan..mama even wait for me till I calmed down....but at last mama found solution...Mama get me transport, so she doesnt have to walk, she just wait for me at the block. I was ok with transport...dah tak panjat pagar...

Thats what I mIss her most...Mama always has a solution for my problem. Ada sekali tu , aku goreng kaki ayam..and its meletup,minyak percik all over. If Mama still around, I would definitely call and ask her what to do. Last 2 days I burned my thumb...I told Papa, he just said 'ok ke'?...if Mama, mesti she give suggestion what to do...

I lost Mama...I Lost part of myself...I lost my energy... I am lost in this sorrow...
The last thing I want to hear from people is 'How are U?'..bcos i would lie to answer that question...I'm not OK...I am still recovering very slowly....

I mISS u

2011-03-10T18:51:00.000-08:00

52 days After you gone...

Mama, Every Second I'm thinking of YOu....Wajah Mama sentiasa terbayang..senyum mama...ketawa mama masih terngiang...ucapan Hello Sayang Mama for me every time i call selalu bermain dlm kepala ni.....

MAma I MISS U...

Ever Since

2011-03-08T19:09:00.000-08:00

Hi My Blog....

Ever since My Angel return to eternity, I was down and devastated.
There is no day passed by without me missing her..
I was crying hard every time I miss her voice, miss her touch
I have no one to share the same way I used to share with her
My tears drop almost every day

How Am I gonna to live my life my Dear Allah....
Almighty Allah, Please give the same strength You have given My Angel before..
Please makes me strong in my Faith and Iman so I won't do stupid things..
Please guides me, love me, give Your Barakah and Redha as My Angle used to give me before..

I may looks as tough little lady....but deep inside I am so fragile, vulnerable..
I am Lost trying to find myself in this loneliness
I can go insane trying to talk to My Angel and hope she reply back..

I want her to be in happy and peace in 'that' world but I MISS HER SO MUCH ... And Almighty ALLAH, Please Help Me..

Myanmar...Expect the UnExpected

2011-02-06T02:18:00.000-08:00

Myanmar .... The Golden Land.The last ASEAN country in the list and we graduated.... From the internet research, this country seems not so safe. Some website said, u have to leave ur handphone at immigration, you have to have at least USD300 cash, there is restriction after 10pm (cannot go out), the people cannot be trusted and so many bad things...With regards of all that, we still proceed...
To make our perception worst, I met one Malaysian Uncle in the flight who has been working for 15 yrs in Myanmar...When I told him my itenerary and places to cover in 8 days, he said...u guys gonna die..I accept that as challenge cos our travelling motto is ' Impossible is Nothing..Just Do It'..and we set our mind, expect the unexpected..hhehehhhheheheh
And then...we arrive Yangon
DAy 1...
NOt so much to explore and do..check in into Ocean Pearl Inn GH (53rd street, Muslim area)...Cost us about USD8/pax per nite, exceptable room. No complain about it. Have our first dinner at Muslim Chinese/Thai restaurant few steps from Ocean Pearl iNN, attached to Orchid Hotel...had our first Roasted DUCK..

DAy 2 begin with flight to Bagan by Air Bagan airline. They served tuna croissant, juice, tea, fruits for an hour flight...Impressive...
From City to ..I dont know how to describe Bagan...at a glance, looks like desert...Bagan is nice place in its own way...in the middle of desert, there's so many sea coconut tree....about 2000 temple all over Bagan..since our trip is more like touch and go, we didnt cover a whole Bagan, just Old Bagan...good enough for those who get tired of temple easily... highly recommended to go around by horse cart (6000 - 10000 kyat per cart/ up to 3 person per cart). But if you have more time, can rent a bike...only 1000 kyat for a whole day.. Stay at New Park Hotel....NICE and Cheap...
In the evening, we went to Mt Popa to actually enjoy our 1st sunset at Myanmar....after a 2 hours beautiful scenery along the road, we arrived... to enjoy the sunset, we need to climb the stairs....I think more than 300 steps...its high + being surrounded by 'friendly monkey' + barefooted (not even socks are allowed) + so many 'shit trap' to be avoided = we didnt enjoy sunset bcos its still early. We view sunset while stop at wine making 'factory'...sort of.

NB : its good to have hotel booked before u go during peak season as those tourist attraction places can be very packed...However, you can make reservation a day before you arrive to the destination like we do....can ask the GH you currently stay to make a phone reservation to the GH on next destination ... better to have a list of GH u prefer.

Day 3, we proceed to Mandalay by 8am 'Express Bus' (USD10/pax). Bought the ticket a day before from the GH. Most GH will have this service. Cant help it but we do expect the bus to be express bus like we have in Malaysia....its 6 hours journey, ETA 2pm....
and When we see the bus...(the bus station is walking distance from New Park Hotel, about 10min walk...)..ok, get into the bus and stop expecting...just go with the flow, accept every situation as it is and adjust ourselves accordingly.. :-)..It is not an express bus at all, keep stopping for passenger to get in and out of the bus... local sit along the aisle (using small stool)...cross 2 rivers...desert..oasis...tar..cement road...stop for toilet and break twice....finally we arrive Mandalay. VERY different with Bagan..its a City like Yangon, 2nd largest city in Myanmar. USed to be Capital of myanmar during Royal era..
Arrive Royal City Hotel at 3.30pm...check in...4pm sharp we went to AMARAPURA, again to enjoy sunset..this place known to be the most beautiful scenery for sunset...it has teak wood bridge name U- Bein Bridge...we rent a boat to be at the middle of the lake for sunset and YES...its SPEECHLESS...
Day 4, Before that, do u see photo with the food...thats our dinner in Mandalay which cost us USD9 ONLY for 5 ppl.... ;-)
Still at Mandalay...continue our adventure to Mingun by ferry from Mandalay jetty...ticket 5000 kyat per person for 2 hours ferry ride to - fro (9am). We'll be waiting by a line of taxi...heheeh
eh..its cow cart...we took one taxi, go round Mingun...most of tourist opt to walk instead but I prefer to rent a taxi... 5000 kyat per taxi for 5 people + unofficial tourist guide who can speak fluent english, spain, french...
MINGUN is different and MAGICAL...the building, the bell...everything about it...back to Mandalay Land by 1pm...arrive 2pm, we straight away go to Mandalay hill....go up by pick up, and escalator...yes, they do have escalator at this temple. Alhamdullilah..we were so tired to climb another stairs anyway...
Need to catch the bus to Inle at 7pm(USD12/pax)...so, dont want to expect anything this time but still hope for the best...and yep, the bus is slightly better...free mineral water + face towel + no one sit along the aisle + its an express bus with 3 times stop for toilet and drink and no recline seat....still we can sleep on and off..no A/C cos Myanmar is winter on Feb. Night can drop to below 10 degree C at some places....but day time can rise up to 28 degree C...so , A/C no need during night time and we were freezing...

N/B: Most important notes about Myanmar transportation, nothing is punctual...Train even worst...u dont know when u arrive... ;-D...this is real, i'm not kidding..

Day 5, after 8 hours frozen and confusing journey...we safely arrive at Ngaung Shwe, big city next to small Inle town..well, at least bigger than Inle town....the temperature drop to 11 degree C when the pick up took us to our GUestHouse. When I said pick up...its a real pick up lorry and 4 of us seat at the back...one lucky lady seat in front with driver.. ;-D...about 1/2 an hour another freezing journey...( bus suppose to arrive at 4am..but we arrive at 6am..)..I cant even feel my nose..we check in at 7am in 4 Sisters Inn...here somehow another confusion, the lady who run the Inn let us get into our room,give the key but we didnt register like we did with other GH. She didnt even ask for our passport..given that we travel by bus for 9 hours, we just want to be in the room, freshen up and continue our itenerary...Immediately after check in, we arrange for our bus to Yangon tomorrow, boat ride to Inle Lake at 9am, laundry our jeans (just 200kyat per jeans...USD1 ~ 1000kyat..)..
Since we are the only group arrived that particular day, the owner gave us complimentary breakfast consist of plain pancake + toast + butter + jam + coffee/tea + banana...not bad at all.. ;-D...9am, boat ride started. Along the canal direct to Inle Lake accompanied by a group of gorgeous SeaGull...ITS HUGE LAKE makes be begin to imagine there might be an anaconda or Godzilla or Lock ness living in it..hhahahhhaa..its scary and makes me nervous really...proceed to the market and temple, we visit the water village, cotton Weaving factory and have lunch at the floating restaurant...Inle lake is where I got my worst sunburn...(9am - 5pm on the boat)...

Day 6, spend our morning cycling around town. Our bus to Yangon at 3pm. Visit to local market where we bought several nuts, Shan Tribe bag, fruits....the market is somehow interesting. we cycled around town and some village till lunch time at 12 noon....by 2pm, the pick up came and drive us to Ngaung Shwe (the bus stop to Yangon)...this time we do expect the bus is better based on previous experience that the bus getting better and better due to the journey time become longer and longer...bus to Yangon from Inle is 14 hours with 3 stops for break and toilet. Got water and face towel....this time, the bus almost half tourist, half local...along the journey, we need to walk through the border (we think) twice in the middle of the nite (like 2am and 5am)..

NB : many of Myanmar apparently can speak Malay due to working 3-6 yrs in Malaysia..almost everytime, we face difficulty to explain what we want or even we just chatting among ourselves, there will be Myanmar ppl approach us and speak Malay....we even got shopping guidance at Bogyoke Market who speak fluent Malay with Indian slang ... ;-D..somehow makes us extra careful to talk about unnecessary things among them...hehehehhehe..

Day 7, we reached Yangon at 6am. Get the taxi (this time real taxi as in A CAr.. ;-p )....Get to Beautyland II GH at down town 7am. The room not ready yet. So, we just leave the bag, face wash, brush teeth....go out and get breakfast..(imagine that we just completed 14 hours bus journey and we continue city tour.....horrible but we managed)...starving, we found Muslim restaurant (has been spotted while looking for the GH).....while eating like nobody bussiness....we somehow aware the waiter are actually looking at us...OMG...maybe we looks like we havent touch food for few days..hahahhahhahaha...who cares anyway...hahahahahaha..
Then, we go sigthseeing...not much to see really, just pick whatever important to let time flies while the room will be ready at 10am.
Get to our room at 10am....this time, we took few hours to sleep...after lunch time about 2pm, we proceed to Karawuiek park (dont remember the exact spelling)...spend time there, have fruits drink, photo session....then we proceed to Shwedagon Palace to experience last sunset in Myanmar...its up hill, more stairs and its worth it....met some Malaysian there .... Our last dinner at the same restaurant of our 1st dinner...more food order this time..1 roasted duck + 1 Crispy honey Duck + Soup +fried rice.....Everytime we eat regardless of breakfast/lunch/dinner..we had almost table full of meal and its all finished....

NB : its better to have Kyat in hand while in Myanmar. Change rate varies according to division (big city like Mandalay & Yangon can get better rate)..In Yangon, better rate can get at Bogyoke Market..DO COUNT YOUR MONEY AFTER CHANGE FOR PRECAUTION......May Shan GuestHouse near to Sule Pagoda also offer good rate... MOST IMPORTANT : DO BRING USD NOTES AS CRISPY AS CLEAN CLOSE TO NEW. They are very particular on that. One of our friend facing difficulty because her notes not new look. BRING SMALL NOTES IF POSSIBLE.

Day 8, our last Day in Myanmar dedicated for shopping at Bogyoke Market. Myanmar the golden land is actually well known as centre of all Gems...Sapphire, Ruby, Topaz, Moonstone to name a few...you can get it with USD10 and above...Jade..all is original but the price varies according to the grade and quality. So many Gems and Jewellary which I'm not familiar of but being a lady who loves jewellary, i bought myself MoonStone, jade ring, Quartz bracelet and earing.....some of us bought 15 bracelet, few necklace...we shop till drop...

We conclude our Myanmar trip with shopping spree and WE LOVE IT.... :-D

Highly recommended to those who love Scenic View at Inle, Gems Shopping at Yangon, Panoramic Image at Bagan, Splendid Sunset at Amarapura and Magical Touch at Mingun...

Kau Pergi Jua

2011-01-25T23:35:00.000-08:00

2011 starts in a good shape at first untill 14th January ... I got into car accident. I dont know how its happen , i banged to the car in front of me..

Thats only a sign initially. 15th Jan 2011 is worst. My mum leaving me , my dad and my brother forever from this world. She goes in peace....like sleeping beauty. Her final breath ends in our hugs and prayer.... May mama rest in peace.. We let you go because we dont want to see you suffering anymore..I know you were in pain every time you breathing...

Allah has loaned to me the best Mama..Alhamdullilah.. I couldnt imagine to live this life without her before. However, after taking care of her due to her illness, witness her pain, I realise I have to let her go and learn gradually to live my life without her. She was my strength all this while. Being the only daughter, I have spent so many sweet memories, we fight, we argue, we travel only 2 of us,.. However I dont share her interest in planting, sewing..thats all goes to my brother... :-)

Now, my tears dry out as time goes by but the remembrance of her become stronger day by day. I still feel her last touch, her last kiss, her last hugs..thats all will become part of my life..still feel she's around.. I still have a conversation as if she is listening.... I lost her ..YES, but I have to keep moving.. Its not easy, I have to survive no matter what.. I miss her prayer for me...Now I have to keep my prayer for her...

WAlau apa pun yang terjadi..Berjalan lah tanpa henti..Semoga Pemergian Mu .. Tak Akan Merubah Apa Pun...Semoga Mampu Ku lawan Kesepian Ku...I LOve U Mama...

Banyaknye hal

2010-12-12T09:51:00.000-08:00

Alhamdullilah,End of November this year, I finally received my new apartment key...sangat lah bangga becos this is my first house yg dibeli dgn hasil kerja selama 8 tahun...kecik je..yelah apartment tapi ITS MY HOUSE..no more rental...2nd house, insyaallah will be landed...Bersyukur sgt, akhirnye I memiliki sebuah rumah..

Hati berbunga2 nak pindah masuk. Yelah kan, rumah sendiri. Plus, mcm2 nak buat jugak....then I started list out what to do item...
1. beli new furniture
2. beli new home appliances
3. buat cabinet dapur ikut citarasa sendiri (cant wait)
4. cari contractor
5. cari tukang cat rumah
6. nak tukar door key
7. nak cuci rumah
8. langsir tak pilih lagi
9. rail tak drill lagi
10. ......
11. .......
punya lah byk benda nak buat. ni semua baru 1st phase. bukan apa, budget tak cukup nak buat semua serentak. Ikutkan hati, nak reno bathroom, nak pasang tile at laundry and balkoni area,nak tambah pillar, semua tu kena masuk in 2nd phase. till now, i managed to do 1,2 and 5 je....masa dapat kunci tu, kalau blh nak pindah dlm masa 2 weeks...tapi right now, terpaksa lah pindah 1st jan..tu pun after cat siap, masukkan barang2 semua..but kitchen cabinet still cannot be ready. All and all, semua nya insyaallah akan settle by 3rd week of Jan 2011......

tak sabar nak pindah bcos rumah baru ni ada swimming pool, i get my own carpark, ada gym, ada area to jogs if tak nak pergi gym..most important, ada Lift...rumah sewa skrg tak de semua tu..

then , i have to unpack and kemas brg2 semua b4 off to Myanmar for 8 days..bukan apa, semua baju2 yg nak di bawa travel tu dah dlm kotak...

Penat fizikal and mental....takde org nak share the load, semua kena buat sendiri,tu yg bertambah stress and exhausted. Tapi takpe, to get rumahku syurga ku...aku rela buat apa saja.

dah siap semua...kita share how my house looks... :-)

Should I

2010-08-02T23:14:00.000-07:00

Looking out the window
While searching for my soul
Looking for PEACE
Am I gonna find it

Should I Smile
When others in pain
Should I laugh
When others crying
Should I leave
When others staying

Memory keeps me running
And run, I run and Run
After something I might belongs
Because I am missing a piece of me

Forgotten

2010-08-01T02:05:00.000-07:00

I come home tonight
You're at my doorstep
Standing there
Holding 'SORRY' teddy bear

Its over darling
I move on
You should too
And then you said

Are you forgotten
promises that we made
Have you forgotten
the thing that we had
Are you forgotten
the creation of our memory lane

You should clean up, baby
The mess that you create
I've made up my mind
You're forgiven and being Forgotten..

July ....

2010-07-27T02:02:00.000-07:00

I havent touch my blog for quite some time .... the last visit was LAOS...

Well, July is the busiest month in my calendar .. not work busy but life entertainment busy.. Since this is the month of ELLA'S birthday..my life has been surrounded by her activity..starts with Ella Concert in IB on 1st July and will be end with ROck concert (Ella in it for sure) on 30th July... and birthday blast for ELLA on 31st July...Waiting for her new album to be release... oh man..I'm sooo into her.. ;-)..so,in this chapter, I want to talk about ELLA.

ELLA....To me, she's a Living Legend. Maybe too much for some people but as die hard fan, she is one and only. I started adore her when I was 10 yrs old...First album I had is Puteri KOta...since then, never stop listening to her,never stop adoring her, never stop believing in her.

She's my inspiration...I was at her concert for 30110 album(actually i was a bit perasan she took the number out of my bday 30th oct..and it become 3010) hahahahahah ... i was 15yrs old back then and my dad accompany me to the concert cos i consider under age with one condition, I have to do well in SRP. I bought her calendar which cost me RM50 (I save my duit poket)..I bought canon calculator just becos her signature on it...this is when my room full of her photo/poster, I wanted to dress like her( just a simple white tshirt n levi's jeans), my parents knows by now how I completely into her...and I forced my papa to buy me a pair of La Gear Shoes becos she's wearing one...buy me a mountain bike cos there's a photo of her with it..only thing I couldnt copy...long hair cos I'm comfortable with boycut hair... ;-p

I send her Bday card and raya card..the BEst Thing is SHE REPLIED. I was at boarding school when I received a Raya card from her and A thank you note for bday card....WHAT A FANTASTIC FEELING!!!!!!!...Thank You very Much ELLA...USA album was food for my ear when I was struggling for SPM. Listened to the album every single day ... its like, I became addicted..I have to listen to her song every time before I took an exam + SPM paper....My Goodness... yeah, I know its sound crazy but that the truth...After SPM, I realise my room cannot be full with her poster anymore, so my mum suggest to me to come out with ELLA Scrap book (my mum used to have scrap book of Jeffry DIn..heheheheh)..I paste all my fav photo which I cut out from magazine n newspaper(I only buy magazine which have Ella story) and the scrap book still with me untill NOW!!!..

I brought her along, well her songs when I was abroad. I let my international friends listen to her and I'm soooo proud becos they like it....I try not to miss her show every now and then..whenever I'm here in KL..I will not miss her show regardless of how much ticket I have to pay. My besfren did tell me once, " ELLa will be very proud if she knows she had a fan like U"..I hope she do... I grew up with ELLA and her songs and I will never stop supporting her... KEEP ROCKING ELLA!!!!!
Back to what happen in July, my bro admitted into Ampang Putri due to Tonsil Surgery... 3 days spending in hospital, so exhausted...
Along the way, my good fren who live in Holland 'drop by' KL for a while...we had Fatty crab dinner..super duper delicious and...had durian for supper..One of the thing still in my wish list is having Dinner with Ella on my Bday and its gonna be my treat....Insyaallah, I believe the day will come..

On next episode of Runiz life will be my vacation planning for year 2011... ciao..

Lost In Translation @ LAOS..finale

2010-03-08T19:48:00.000-08:00

Continue from Previous

Day 4

We have to get ready by 7am today,continue our journey to Xieng Khuong (plain of Jars). Approximately will take about 5-6 hours by minivan, 7-8 hours by VIP bus. We woke up early just to get breakfast from our fav café Jumo but its not yet ready to serve. So, I just had simple biscuit and hot chocs.
After 2 hours driving, the driver stop at one place,looks so cowboy town and just pointing to Hong Nam. We bought tuna sandwich for each of us which cost us 15,000kip per sandwich (expensive..yess but we don’t care cos hungry and the sandwich is big).. I bought orange not even 1 KG..cost me 10,000 kip. Just pay, don’t really care. Need something sour for the road trip.
We arrive XK (another dead city) about 12.30 noon, looking for GH..we have not book in advance becos the plan has goes offline from previous itinerary, we got a very nice place to overnite..USD7 per nite/person including breakfast. The room is Seri Malaysia standard..really.. the best GH so far I’ve been in Laos and cheap. Name Dou Khoung..
At 2.30pm, we go for lunch and 3.30pm we heading to Plain of Jars ( A must see site if you are in Laos). Entrance Fee only 10,000 Kip. I bet it will be more expensive after being declare as UNESCO World Heritage…..they are working towards that.
The place has its own mystery. No one really knows what is the exact story behind all this stone jars. Its like StoneHenge in Asia.
Few theories….the jars to keep dead body…the jars to hide ppl and food from giant….its really big and many…so photo session begins….
Night at Xieng Khuoang is really nothing. Its absolutely a dead rural area. We went out and have dinner at NIsha reataurant…its an Indian restaurant, not sure Halal or not, so we just order vegetarian food. My fren bought banana prata on the way to the restaurant. Its banana n chocolate prata. Looks so ugly but the taste is acceptable. A Philippines couple coming into the restaurant and ask us..”what is that”..heheheheh.. and he say “good Luck’ to try that food… This old couple is lovely and like to chat … we talked about our travel experience, the places we’ve been and some issues…they surprise when we said we are a group of women engineers and the wife said..’you are engineer and love travel,that’s y its hard for you to find husband’..hahahahhhahhaha…..we took photo with them using their camera and forgot to use our camera…they declare we are their daughters…heheheheheh…lovely couple and now we have GodParents from Philippine…

Day 5 & 6

Today will be a long day … its our journey back to Vientiane from Xieng Khuang and take 8 hours of zigzag road….can you take it?? Well , we have to.
Have our free breakfast, baguette with butter and jam plus tea…at 8.00am..off we go.
Stop a while at one place, we don’t know the name of it…to have lunch. I had noodle soup wt vege only and orange juice…we enjoy the scenery of school student just came back from school …. All of them ride a bicycle with black n white uniform….white shirt and black trousers (for boy) and black Laos skirt (for girl)…sleep all the way till arrive VT at about 4pm…rest for 3 hours, our for last dinner in VT.
Had foot+head+shoulder massage before dinner. Only 46,000 kip.We had seafood by Mekong River bank (there are under construction and u cant really see the river….)..the most expensive dinner at Laos…USD30 for 3 …another 2 frens, they prefer Indian food instead of Laos local seafood.
Stroll along pasar mlm along the riverbank, but nothing to buy this time…we had good choice in Luang Prabang…Laos is not so much for shopping..its more of sightseeing.

The last day….we went to Sabaidee café to start our day before heading back to KL. The coffee is extremely strong (based on my fren comment), I had hot lime tea, not so much coffee drinker myself…good croissant…some had French toast with cinnamon…take tuktuk to go to the airport after had some argument with tuk tuk driver on the price…he wants 150,000kip per tuktuk….finally got 80,000kip per tuktuk for 5…its higher USD2 than minivan but we don’t care much that time…just pay USD10 to him for all of us…
The line in the airport so long…system crashed they said…ready for airport tax USD10 but its no need…we don’t know why…flight slightly delayed due to some passenger have problem in immigration… We finally arrive LCCT at 2pm…

We back to Urban Life….Back to fast paced…Back to humidity…Back to Malaysian Food I miss so much …Everytime I Touch down Malaysia regardless of from where….I feel so glad and blessed…..
HOME SWEET HOME….. next vacation???hmmm Myanmar perhaps..

Lost In Translation @ LAOS..part 2

2010-03-05T00:54:00.000-08:00

Lets continue my journey...

Day 3
We begin our day cheerfully by having a good breakfast from near coffee house name Jomo…I had bagel wt cream cheese…some got Croissant spinach…local tuna sandwich..and its all good…only cost us about RM12 each with hot chocs and coffee and tea..Before bfast, I took the opportunity to witness the monk getting something from local. Its something I haven’t see in Malaysia so, why not..In the morning, its so cold..I bet around 18-20C..

Today the journey will get into boat and heading to Pak Ou cave. The boat fare is 250,000 kip per boat but its every hour. We don’t want to wait another 45 min for 9am boat , so we pay 300,000 kip per boat..only cost us 60,000kip each..

P/s : If you have more than 5 ppl in ur group, its worth it to book a whole boat. The boat can occupy up to 10 ppl..no need to book upfront, just go to the boat stand and buy ticket.

The boat journey took about 1 ½ hours, total 3 hours return. We stop at Wisky Village (well that’s what I heard he said) to actually look around..we end up buy stuff as well..heheheheh..not wisky of course. The place is something else…different village experience. Stop there to take picture.
Arrive cave few minutes later…climbing up the stairs….take photo along the way…go into the cave..(the cave is small….penat jugak naik tangga tu)..thats all activity at the cave. Entrance fee 20,000 kip.We spend about ½ n hour or maybe less…On the way back to LP town, all of us slept peacefully…Lunch, we choose the restaurant along the river, nice set up and good seafood n vege. As usual, everything finish…we tried the sweet n sour fish, fish soup (this is good),mix vege and squid..
After lunch, get some rest …continue to Kuangsi waterfall. They have bear Sanctuary there and the bear is cute….waterfall close at 5pm, we arrive there at 4pm…very nice scenery and swim about ½ n hour…facility to change is available. Around 4.45pm..we left from waterfall….arrive LP town, we have just enough time to climb Mount Phousi. It suppose to be up there to enjoy sunset but by the time we reach the summit..the sun all ready set..ppl starting come down but we keep climb up….by 6.30pm,already dark…we manage to get down before its totally dark….

Tonight we had dinner at local restaurant and had seafood noodle soup, seafood fries rice,Mekong fish fried noodle (its good) …. After dinner, continue shopping whatever we haven’t buy a day before. Oppsss..almost forgot, DO TRY FRUIT JUICE at the market. 5,000 kip per cup, you can mix and match your own fruit….its soooooo delicious..I had it every day..(unfortunately,only 2 days there) …

to be continue...

Lost In Translation @ LAOS..

2010-03-04T22:06:00.000-08:00

My 2nd vacation of 2010...6 days LAOS

Day 1
My day starts as early as 4 am. Flight took off at 8.05am…..We arrive Vientiane 2 hours after that. The different between Laos and KL is 1 hour..(Laos is 1 hour behind). We had our itinerary earlier as usual but on the flight we did discuss on how to finish 4 places in 6 days considering all four places is far from each other.
Our early plan is taking bus to Luang Prabang (LP) on the day we arrive (evening bus) so we didn’t book any room ahead but by doing that we might not have enough time to complete all 4 places we are dying wanna go. So, here starts our adventure. By the way, minivan from airport to VT town is USD8 per minivan (up to 7 ppl).

We just landed our bag for a while in one of the guesthouse(GH), walk around to find the travel agency and room to rent..(surprisingly GH in Vientiane is full). Found travel agency, negotiate with them (it’s a skill we already acquire after several backpacking trip)…we finally got a minivan for 7 ppl (we are only 5), for 4 days trip..
Vientiane (VT) – Vang Vieng (VV) – Luang Prabang (LP) – Xieng Khuong (XK) – VT include gas and driver cum guide for USD440..only USD88 per person. Its actually consider cheap bcos bus VIP fare to LP only already USD30/pax. Ok..done with travel agency…now we need to find place to stay a night before start our 4 days journey. Look around, we finally found Samsethai GH, just in front of the travel agency..cost us USD7/pax/night with attach bathroom and AC also TV and fridge…the condition of the room .NOT BAD at all..

After done all that..its already 2.30pm. We went to Buddha Park (which is close at 5pm) and we have to rush to Talat Sao (it’s a must go market) which also close at 5pm. From VT to Buddha Park, we took minivan (oh gosh ..I forgot how much we pay but its cheap), entrance fee only USD1. (Buddha Park is a place to go if you go to VT. Vientiane is not so much to see unless you appreciate those Wat which we don’t really do.) From there, we go straight to Talat Sao…Arrive there, we got confuse…its not a market, the place like Ocean supermarket or The Store..still , we look around, the stuff in there is expensive, we walk n walk n walk n finally we found the market behind the store…there u go..the market is behind the store…so we started looking for what we want such as silk (I didn’t buy bcos its expensive),silver stuff (its good bargain) and I suddenly realize…OMG!!! Where is my camera??!!...not in the bag,not around my neck like I usually do….YES..I left my camera inside the minivan. I pray to Allah to help me to get my camera back…Pray hard I should say…we didn’t go straight away to the place we got the minivan but we continue do some shopping..I keep calm at that time and believing that if the camera is meant for me..its meant for me…Insyaallah..

At 5pm, we go back to the place we took our minivan….there were guys lepaking under the tree…we approach them and just told them that I left my camera in the minivan and if possible to contact the driver. Without wasting any second, one of them straight away called the driver and ask us to wait …. We wait and praying for the best…after about 10-15 min, the driver arrived, smiled at me and handed me the Camera…Alhamdullilah…I was so impress by their trustworthy, very helpful. Have no intention to condemn my own citizen but if it happen in KL, its very unlikely to get my camera back. It was Lost and Found…in Here most probably Lost Never Found…Again..Alhamdullilah..

Next, we continue our visit. Went to famous Wat around the town, and end up at Patuxai (Champ de Lysse look a like). Its already dark by then. Had our dinner at Fatima restaurant (one of Halal restaurant in town,in front of Mekong River)..I had noodle soup, my frens had fried rice..all together cost us USD20. After dinner, we stroll along Mekong River, checking out the Pasar Malam, bought some souvenirs but not so much choices…so we decided to continue shopping in LP the next day….

And that’s the End of day 1. Get a good rest for tomorrow adventure.

p/s : their currency is KIP. They accept KIP, Thai Bath and USD. 1 USD ~ 8500 KIP. Its advisable to have in hand KIP. Use it especially for tuk tuk and shopping. You can change your USD in any money changer around town.

Day 2
Today will be a long day. 2 hrs to Vang Vieng followed by 5 hours to LP. We don’t want to expect anything but we know something new waiting for us ahead. Wake up at 6.00am, the van will pick us up at 7.00am. The GH doesn’t come with bfast so we eat our own food. I started my day with hot chocs and instant noodle (I only do this during my backpacker trip). While having my breakfast outside the GH..we actually sit by the road side….a group of Monk walking in line…they looked confused…hahahahhahaha..

Our van and driver arrived…another nightmares…the driver cum guide doesn’t know English .. not even a WORD !!!. What else to do…body language then and many funny things comes along when we try to explain things to him. Along the way, we learned toilet is Hong Nam (well, how do u want to do body gesture for toilet..hmmm..) … thanks is Kop Chai…hello is Sabaidee..and that’s all..hahahahahahah…other than that, just write down and do some body gesture. Another funny things is, his boss can speak English but can only translate via phone. So everytime Yai (our driver’s name) want to ask us on where we wanna go or where is our GH and what time need to pick us up…he will call his boss and pass the handphone to me…. J..(do not expect good English but at least the communication is there)

The road to VV not so good but the journey not soo bad either. 2 hrs on snaking road still can take it. Arrive VV at about 9am, straight to the cave…the driver just drop us there, tell us where Hong Nam is, then just pointing to one direction and off we go….(pandai2 korang lah nak pergi mana and buat apa)..something like that…hehehheheheh…

P/S : Do Not Worry about the Condition of the toilet in LAOS, its extremely clean with water and tissue regardless of how rural the place is…I am Not exaggerated here…iTS TRUE..
In fact, I have been to most of Asean Country and it’s a shame to us becos Malaysia toilet is the worst…

Not so much thing to do in VV unless you wanna do kayaking, tubing or rock climbing. We didn’t opt for that activity, so we just go to the river, take photo and having lunch on the floating hut…food as usual fish and vege…our lunch in VV was GOOD. The grill fish is different and they kept the fish alive in the river before grill it..So u get very fresh fish grill….there is entrance fee to the cave and crossing the river but very cheap….5,000 kip per entrance (about RM2).. After lunch, at about 12 noon , we continue our journey to LP…Again the road is zigzag but this time it took 5 hours….its horrible and yet different…. We try to sleep all the way becos everytime we open our eyes, its feels dizzy, woozy…all sort of that category…another option is…keep eating junk food…Along the way , we stop for Hong Nam once…

P/S : I would recommend to those want to go to LP and have extra budget, flight is the best option (USD80 for 45 min journey)…minivan is 2nd option…third option is VIP bus (took 10 hours on winding road)..(we met A Romanian couple who took VIP bus, they said its absolutely terrible..They went back to VT by flight)

However, when arrived at LP at about 5.00pm, all pening2 and loya2 is worth it. The place is a beautiful pekan koboi. Its different, its authentic…..and its UNESCO World Heritage…Upon arrival, go to the GH we book …. Vilay GH and Tanoy GH (we book at Vilay via website but the room at Tanoy..it opposite to each other and same owner who got an adorable little girl name Suria).. cost us USD14 for 2 nights per person. No AC needed….fan just enough. Attach bathroom, no TV, got fridge..hot water (important as weather in LP is weird…32 C at day time…can drop to 13-20 C at night and early morning..) get some rest and a cup of instant noodle while waiting for dinner time. 1st night at LP, dinner at Nazim restaurant (an Indian Halal restaurant). The food in big portion…we had briani,squid fried rice and kind of bread, forgot the name..go shopping at night market (bigger than VT) so much choices…and Rambang mata..hehehhehehe…the souvenir like magnet or short glass not in the list of choices. No short glass at all and few magnet..I consider it expensive for magnet…RM4 for a piece of magnet and I bought 6…J..some of my frens bought silk scarf,good price for that, some handicraft also good bargain and I got my mum cushion cover and tissue box cover.. there were 2 rows…I finish 1 row, will check out 2nd row tomorrow..At about 11pm….ZZZzzzzzzZZZZ…. will continue day 3 onwards...

HOw do you measure ROMANTIC??

2010-02-08T17:42:00.000-08:00

Lets talk about being Romantic today...What is romantic in your perception?

1. Being so lovely to each other
2. Remember and celebrate all important date such as birthday, anniversary etc...
3. Say good morning..good night, I love u everyday
4. HUgs and kiss each other everyday
5. Be sensitive to each other feeling
6. Calling each other pet name (provided a good one)
7. Have Surprise event or gift...

Those are the things we always heard from everyone when we talk about being Romantic.. To me, my personal opinion about being Romantic is..can be an additonal of the above list....

a) A husband able to be an Imam for a wife and kids. After every solat, a wife kiss a hubby hand....thats romantic..
b) Aplogise to each other everyday before nights fall to make sure if we die that night, we have forgive each other wrong doing. Thats romantic...
c) When you wakes each other to perform solat at night..thats romantic
d) Helping each other of housework...cooking, houskeeping,taking care of kids...thats romantic
e) Taking care of each other either in good shape of health or worst shape of health..thats truly romantic
f) Be in touch every time far apart...
g) Be truthful of yourself and your partner...love each other unconditionally till the end...

My dad will call my mum more than 3 times a day everytime they are apart...
My dad will always makes sure my mum happy all the time...If my mum in sad mode, he will gone crazy and start calling me for advice...heheheheh..how sweet.
They have pet name for each other..
They go to the mosque together every maghrib and have supper on the way home or they will perform solat together at home..lovely
My dad doesnt know how to give surprise party or gift but he never forget the important date.
My dad doesnt know how to express his love by hugs n kisses or even 'I love you' every day but he always comes home for lunch and dinner...Always bring something for my mum if he has to go for busisness lunch or dinner.
My dad never forget a souvenir for my mum every single time he go out of town.
You wont get 'A Congrats' if u did good in your exam or anything but without fail he will bring you out to celebrate or buy you a gift.
My dad doesnt help much in cooking,housekeeping and he doesnt even know how to operate washing machine (its true, I am not exxagerate here) but he always appreciate my mum by finish off all the meal she cooked,never complain the way my mum iron his clothes,drive my mum to anywhere my mum wants to go,buy everything my mum needs and he will make sure to have a vacation at least once a year to the place my mum wants to be...(and I usually will become their travel agent)
My dad is excellant in preparing Nasi Beriani singapore style with Ayam Masak Merah...
The most important is ...
My dad always be there whenever you need him....

So , do u think my dad is romantic?...I think my dad is a truly romantic person .....
As human being, we cannot expect to have it all....to have some of it which fit our needs in daily life is good enough... :-)

Just Few things...

2010-02-07T19:22:00.000-08:00

1. Traffic so bad lately..any idea why? obviously the number of cars suddenly increased.. due to..
a) so many singles out there..so many cars wt only a driver inside
b) even married couples, cannot share car due to diff place of work...diff direction and timing
c) nowadays students drive to school, college, university
d) perhaps...many guy practise polygamy, hence all wives owns car .. :-)

2. How to get rid of a person u had enough??
a) tell him/her direct to his/her face...not so many ppl have courage to do so..as malays always put.."tak sampai hatilah"
b) ignore the person untill he/she understand..(well, it may take long time if the person kind of Lembab species)
c) just keep quiet when he/she talk to u..do not response or maybe response a bit but not too interested kind of response
d) i can't think of anything else..Any idea reader?

3. I am Single..yes..some people just love jump into conclusion..and some of it soooooo pathetic..
a) kenapa TAK NAK kahwin?? hello..who says I Dont Want To get married..Of course I WANT...sigh
b) U tak nak ada anak ke?..sigh, I am normal women who were born with natural mother instinct..they just cannot see it...
c) The most outrageous question I ever had....
Are u a Lesbian??? Subhanallah...Usually I answer it with smile and if women were asking me,'why, are u interested in me?' if a guy..'are u a gay?'
Yes... I watched homo movie, read homo book,appreciate women beauty, holding hands with my girlfriends,hugs and kisses with them, it doesnt mean I'm homo myself....from my very own experience, a person who declare she/he homophobic is the person who are actually homosexual but they are just afraid to come out and reluctant to come back to the right path...may Allah guide all these species...
I watched FBI movie, read FBI book but I'm an engineer...

4. Do u try to correct someone who got wrong perception about you?
a) if it strangers...dont care, they dont even know who are
(stranger as my definition : relatives i dont like, frens who i consider just fren which their opinion doesnt bother me at all)
b) if it comes from close family n frens....need to be taken care of..

we stop here for today...will be back for new issue.. ;-)

Krabi ..I come, I stay , I enjoy

2010-01-18T11:34:00.000-08:00

Krabi is the first vacation of year 2010. But hey, as usual, we did plan this trip 2-3 months ahead…I think around Oct (at first we wanna go a week b4 xmas but the ticket price just too high…so, Jan we are).

1st day :

Arrive Krabi Airport, we took minibus as they said (take outside airport..just in front of airport entrance)…THB600 for a whole car from Krabi Airport to Aonang Pier … Aonang pier, we took long tail boat to go to our final destination…Railey ..THB70/pax. Where we stay?

Its very cheap though..THB400/pax/2 nights(for those who can compromise on luxury of accommodation, can choose this place…very basic but we love it) like our kampong…all our neighbours were Orang Putih..(well, we are the only ASEAN on that particular period).
After Maghrib..heading to the beach where all the happenings thing going on…looking for nice place to have dinner…found this restaurant..(alamak tak ingat nama pulak) good food…price reasonable. Trekking to our Railey CAbana

Finally

TIPS : don’t bother to find the cheapest price cos all place about the same price and just look for nice ambient to enjoy..the food somehow will not be disappointing) Dinner for 4 roughly about RM100-RM120..with fish,vege, rice,8 drinks (yeah we are thirsty), beef/chicken..everything is HALAL here..No Worries.

relax on bamboo stage

What are you going to do after dinner? Look around for tomorrow trip. Phi phi island a day trip plus lunch plus free flow mineral water n coke, price range from THB1800 can go down to THB900 per pax..depending on where you book and how good your nego skill…its for speed boat( highly recommended to take speed boat). We were thrill to get THB1300/pax before knowing that there is THB900/pax offered in other tour agent….hehehhe..nevermind..Having coffee or tea while lay down on bamboo kind of stage..looking to the ocean eventho its dark…with the soft wind blow to ur face..musics and the best of all…observe people passing by…hot stuff some of them…hahahahahaha..

2nd day :

Speed boat

Starts as early as 7am…(its 8am Malaysia time)…get our breakfast at one of the reastaurant…its pricey I should say. THB225/pax for big American breakfast exclude drink..by 9.00am..ready for phi phi island trip. The trip includes snorkeling at not remember where,swim at Maya Bay (The Beach location),the beach so fantastic, the water soooo inviting, u will be swimming without u even realize it...lunch at Phi Phi Island,buffet, food Ok… and another snorkeling(its in the middle of the ocean and I’ve being attacked by jelly fish..its like a fire burning..so painful, however its getting ok in 2 hours, not always happen..i’m just the lucky one..Am I?)…it’s a full day trip…arrive railey west at about 3.30pm.

Maya Bay

Landed at Railey beach…straight to our room/pondok….rest while freshen up..get ready for nite life on 2nd nite. Before dinner, we enjoy sunset moment.We had dinner at different place but as I said earlier, the price about the same any where…we had prawn, fish, papaya salad, 4 drinks, rice., beef/chicken…after dinner, its heavy rain out of sudden. We just drop into massage parlour nearby , get a good 1 hour massage while waiting for the rain to stop…finish massage…rain stop..Thai massage THB250/1 hour..absolutely superb. DO NOT MISS IT. We book 4 island trip for tomorrow activity.. Only THB700/pax. This activity can up to THB1200/pax…we saw advert of Muay Thai..(Thai kickboxing ) earlier. Need to grab a seat by 9.30pm before its full..so here we are, at Bamboo pub where the ring is ready, the fighter no where can be seen. Ordered mango juices and a sisha..THB250 for sisha. While waiting for the show , we enjoy our sisha till 2 of us almost Knock Out (KO without fighting in the ring)….we didn’t know what’s in Sisha but later we found out (really later..after we come back to KL)it’s include Ganja..hahahahahah..no wonder 2 of my frens ting tong…experienced that’s count..heheheheh
By 12mdnite…no fighter turns up, crowd begin to make their way including us….need to sleep for tomorrow trip..and need to be on bed before my frens cannot walk back…hahahahahah…

Sunset at Railley

Sisha time...
3rd day :
Again, 7am is our wake up call, need to pack and check out. We are heading to Aonang in the evening…breakfast today we choose buffet at one of the resort, THB250/pax. Its consider cheap bcos u can eat variety of food. From cereal to fried rice..pan cake..juices and coffee..bread n butter n jam..fruits..After breakfast , we wait for our boat at the RAiley West beach..(our kampong at Railey East..just 10 min walk btwn two railey). The boat women came….’4 ppl for 4 island’ she shouted..we know its gonna be us but she refuse to agree and keep checking..she said need to confirm..well then, we can wait….after 10 min, YES, its confirm…we are 4 ppl she looking for…hehheheheheh..(our sticker is apparently diff from others..no wonder)..
And what is this 4 island?...Phra Nang beach…nice place to swim and photo session of course, snorkeling spot which soooo beautiful but high current (the wave pull and push u, end up u r at the big rock)lunch at Chicken Island…it has this route connecting two island..got to cross it to get to the boat..(others took 10 min to cross it but we took about 30 min due to high tendency to be a model…every step is a photo session…) the ocean is like big swimming pool..can’t take my eyes out of you….its just not enough no matter how many pic u snap…after an hour, proceed to Poda Island…nice place to take a nap, really. Slept here about 20 min…had jagung bakar…by the time we are about to swim…its time to get on board…sigh..(the first topless I saw is here…I mean women, all men are topless, kids naked with cap)

Arrive railey beach at about 2pm….since we had checked out and still want to swim ..we just continue swim and sunbathing at Railey West beach….by about 4pm, we had hi-tea…(pizza n drink at tea time…hahhahaah)…relax a bit, cool down after hot sunny sun bathing..took longtail boat to Aonang at about 5pm. Only 10 min ride, arrive Aonang…looking for KL Aonang hotel,we decided to take tuk tuk instead of walking..cost us THB100 for a tuk tuk, its wise decision cos that hotel is far enough to walk with 9kg bagpack…settle down…freshen up..feels like back to urban life. KL Aonang is apparently one of budget hotel recommended by Air Asia. About THB350 double fan room…nice, clean, comfy.

When night come, we stroll along the road to find HALAL food. In Aonang , need toask bcos they do serve Non Halal…we got one place, seat, ordered almost same menu plus crab and grilled Giant Prawn…good food with good price. After dinner, window shopping time, looking for massage place which is a lot…choosing massage place,..have a wonderful aloe vera massage…walk back to the hotel…sleeppppp….

4th day :
Today we are going home…..eventho I enjoyed Krabi, I am more happy of the idea coming home..Home sweet home…
But before that, we rent 2 bikes to merempit at Aonang. I haven’t ride a bike for quite some time but I do have a license..so still acceptable. Another rider, only know how to ride without knowing how to start a bike, where is the break , how to open the seat to get to the fuel tank..worst case, not sure how to turn…well good luck to us.

Its just a scooter but its big enough for me…being petite not easy to stand the bike but above all…..we managed to ride,stop, ride,stop, take photo successfully without any harm…Bravo..Last beach of the vacation is Natharat Pharat beach….not so beautiful but still better view than PD and Feringgi…Bike rent is for a day..THB200 exclude fuel..we just add THB40 for 1 liter fuel..expensive. the bike given to u with 1 liter fuel and its actually enough for 20km maybe…but being us, we prefer to refill than stop without fuel on the road…When we return the bike, the fuel is almost half tank ( we rent about 3 hours only , got plane to catch)

By 12, airport pick up all ready waiting for us, we just arrive our hotel, final packing…half an hour later, off we go to the airport….
Everything went smoothly till we almost landing. KL weather so bad, heavy rain…we experience air pocket 2 times, heavy turbulence….the flight decending and suddenly go up again …feel like roller coster in the air..we are unable to land, we are going to hang around for a while…the pilot said. There you go, free tour in the air above Sepang…after 20min, 2nd attempt to land..finally at about 5pm, we safely landed at LCCT…Big hand everyone….

Adakah kita berbangga dengan bahasa ibunda kita

2009-11-06T00:23:00.000-08:00

Kawan2,

Selalunya saya menulis dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggeris sehingga saya agak kekok untuk menaip dalam bahasa Melayu...(masih lagi kekok ketika menulis artikel ini)....adakah kita berbangga dengan bahasa ibunda kita.

Setiap kali saya ke luar negara, terutama negara2 yang tidak menggunakan inggeris sebagai bahasa perantaraan....saya menghadapi kesukaran untuk berkomunikasi dan saya akan menyalahkan rakyat negara tersebut kenapa tak mahu belajar bahasa inggeris...kan senang nak melayan pelancong macam saya...

tapi dari satu sudut lain, saya kagum dengan keyakinan mereka yang sangat berbangga menggunakan bahasa ibunda mereka sendiri. Dan sikap mereka ini membuatkan saya malu pada diri sendiri yang kadang kala terlupa menggunakan bahasa ibunda saya. Secara logiknya, kalau anda datang ke tempat saya, anda perlu menggunakan bahasa saya untuk berkomunikasi. dan begitu jugak sebaliknya..

Pengalaman saya di France, Jepun dan German, semasa saya sibuk menggunakkan inggeris untuk mencari arah atau bertanya harga barangan,mereka buat tak tahu je sehingga saya menggunakkan bahasa melayu dan terus diorang respon dan diorang tanya, Do u speak english? barulah diorang layan saya sebab diorang sedar saya memang tak tahu bahasa mereka.

Semasa di Filipina, pemandu teksi memarahi saya dan rakan2 kerana bercakap inggeris dengan nya...Dia kata, kami orang muda berlagak , tak nak guna tagalog, sibuk guna Inggeris....selepas saya terangkan yang kami semua orang malaysia, baru dia ok ... kejadian yang sama berlaku di Bangkok..(nak buat cemana, profile saya sama je dgn orang thai dan filipine)..

Di sini, Kuala Lumpur , kebanyakan restoran di pusat2 membeli belah atau hotel2 mengambil orang luar bekerja sebagai pelayan. Pelayan2 ni tak tahu pun berbahasa melayu. nak minta menu dalam bahasa melayu pun tak faham dan mereka bekerja di Malaysia. Kalau kita bekerja di France contohnya dan menjadi pelayan..sah2 lah kena belajar bahasa france...sedangkan pergi Indonesia pun kita dah terikut2 bahasa sana...

tapi kat sini, kita ok je dengan pekerja2 luar yang tak tahu langsung berbahasa melayu. Kita masih layan mereka ini dalam inggeris..

KITA SEBENARNYA BERBANGGA YANG KITA FASIH BERBAHASA INGGERIS TAPI TIDAK SEDIKIT PUN RASA MALU SEKIRANYA BAHASA MELAYU KITA TONGGANG LANGGANG...DAN KITA MASIH MENGAKU KITA RAKYAT MALAYSIA YANG BAHASA MELAYU ADALAH BAHASA RASMI???

Tidak mustahil generasi akan datang terus lupa berbahasa Melayu dan hanya berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggeris...

FIKIR2 KAN LAH....PERINGATAN UNTUK SAYA DAN ANDA SEMUA...

What happen recently...

2009-10-07T21:18:00.000-07:00

1. Saturday...raya open house started. 2 houses to cover in a day and1 to be cover at night. Only Malaysian (if I'm not mistaken) have this culture. Only in Malaysia too we have Pasar/Bazar Ramadhan. The first house was my ex-colleague, 1st time ever had raya open house. We arrive very early(first guest in fact) ,well I am punctual..We left when most of my ex-colleague starting to show up..Sometimes whenever it become an ex-....better not to interact anymore.. ;-)
2nd house was my ex-schoolmate (primary school). This is fun but I have to wait for an hour for other friends to arrive due to bad traffic everwhere in KL on saturday..to make it worse, its raya season.
3rd house...my long lost best friend.. her house is in my neighbourhood. 3 min driving. Me and her living at the same neighbourhood for almost 2 1/2 years but never bum to each other. How I found her...YESSSS..FB. We talk and talk and talk and talk from 8pm till...2am in the morning. The last time I met her was during her wedding and now she got 3 kids (eldest 6yrs old).... plus minus I havent meet her almost 7 years. Now, as I found her..We promise to keep in touch as long as we can...Insyaallah.. next plan to bring her and kids to have a garden picnic and play kites on one of those weekend..(since her hubby working abroad)

2. On a very peace Sunday afternoon, I witnessed A french man reverting to Islam. I attended the ceremony incidently. During the event, strange but wonderful feeling run through my vain. My heart beeping hard, I feel sad at the same time almost drop a tears. It mades my faith stronger and reminding myself I am also still green in my own religion. This guy comes alone without his friends and family but go home with strong faith of Allah, Muslim friends and family.

3. My bro lepak my house so frequent recently since he started his job at Bandar Utama...Its near to go to my office from ur house,he said..but I know the main reason he stay in my house is because I cooked for dinner and his water supply being cut off (forgot to pay bills. this is what happen if you so used to have PA to run an errands). We both love home cooking. If we want to have meal outside we prefer something different like sushi, dimsum, western food, pasta...something that I am not good to cook...;-D

We had a chat while watching TV and I flip through GLAM magazine he brought back from his office when suddenly my eyes catch a designer handbag that I really love...I said out loud " this is the handbag I am looking for,this design.." And my lovely bro take a look.."u have such a very high taste, do u know how much is that?" I was just smile....He continued "Its Birkin Hermes,not simply a handbag..Dato' Siti have 3, Fazura have 1..maybe permaisuri Agong and other kerabat Raja..let alone Victoria Beckham and other Hollywood celebs...the cheapest is RM50k...and 5 years waiting list in Malaysia....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...in US, waiting list is 1 year-2 years,cost USD10k and above...So, I decided to have a wanna be Birkin only which cost me thousands as well.. ;-) Havent got yet...insyaallah.

I havent realise I am into expensive handbag but I do notice my handbag collection are luxury. Yes, I only have 4 handbags but all are designer brand. Why is it very rare I buy handbag..Because I only interested in design which cost me thousands..and I have not realise it untill the day I fall in love with Birkin...*sigh*..and yet I am simple and fun living creature but can be very deatil n particular on certain things.

Kasih dan SaYang.....LoVe and Cinta

Kasih dan Sayang

Elemen kehidupan yang sangat penting

Tapi sering diabaikan

Kekeliruan sering berlaku apabila

kasih pada keluarga di bentuk dengan keganasan rumah tangga

Penderaan kanak-kanak

Pengabaian ibu bapa.

Love dan Cinta

Sering DiUcap tatkala ikatan

Belum disimpul

Sering Dilupa tatkala ikatan

sudah kukuh Kerana

Memiliki tidak perlu di lindungi..

Menanam tidak perlu dibaja....adakah begitu

Limpahkan kasih setulusnya

Kepada yang bergelar insan

Tua,muda,saudara dan seteru

Luahkan sayang setiap masa

Kerana masa yang mendatang

Belum tentu kita sempat merasa

Rasa cinta hanya untuk Yang Esa

Kerana hanya Dia bersama kita

Di kala susah dan senang

Derita dan Bahagia

Gundah dan Gembira

Semai lah rasa kasih dan sayang

Agar rasa cinta akan terus berkekalan

Tiba - tiba terasa nak tulis puisi..heheheh..bear with me ya...i know its broken Puisi..tapi teringin nak tulis jugak... :-D

Sepi

Sepi
Sering datang menerpa
Di saat aku sendirian
Mengenang kisah silam yang menggamit masa depan

Sunyi
Menyelubungi diri
Tatkala hari melabuhkan tirai senja
Di waktu dinihari mula menyerlahkan fajarnya

Namun
Semua itu hanya menjelma
Di kala aku dibelenggu keresahan
Gelisah mengungguli diri
Yang tiada berpenghujung

Mujur ada teman
Masih setia menanti
Masih setia disisi
Menemani dan menyayangi diri ini......

The Greatest Lost.....our Storyteller..Late Yasmin Ahmad

2009-07-30T22:15:00.000-07:00

Not too late to extent my deep condolence to Yasmin Ahmad family. I'm nobody to her. But she is something to me. I feels connected via her movie,her work,her pieces. She had left so many precious masterpieces to Malaysian. I'm so inspired,so moved,so touch by her movie.

I started knows her work piece from Film Rabun. The first time I watch it, i knew she is one of a kind. After that I became her follower...I keep waiting whats next. Keep reading her blog which now, No More. Sepet,Gubra,Mukhsin,Muallaf(havent watch this yet and sooooo dissapointed of our Lembaga Penapisan),Talentime.......I watch it all and I love it all. I always want to be the first to watch her movie.

She is sincere,honest,brave enough to voice out her opinion and all of that being portrayed in her movie. She deliver the fact of life, teach u how to appreciate yourself and others surrounds you,live a life to the fullest without being judgemental, without follow what is norm but follow what is fact because....norm does not always right...and norm does not always the fact. If you want ONE MALAYSIA, she already set it and deliver it. iTs either you realised it or not.

HOwever..like people always said, True might hurt, true might makes us feel uncomfortable..She's been said invited controversy from her film,and yet she's been recognised abroad. I am not surprise if her movie being Recognised locally after this because She Is GONE..the Norm in our country,oNce u gone, then we recogniselah. And give her all those title...forget it..

I will definitely missing her Iklan Hari Raya...Her iklan kemerdekaan...Her brilliant movie....and the moment me and my friends seat down, having tea discussing about the her movie everytime we come back from watching it..

May Allah Bless you Yasmin.....Semoga Anda di tempat kan bersama orang2 yg di kasihi Allah...Al-Fatihah....

I wonder who can continue her legacy.......

Its just a job,not a career...

2009-07-23T23:18:00.000-07:00

Hi frens...blogger...whoever...

Most of the times, when I get too tense with my job..I started dreaming of new job. Why is that? I think because I look at it as a job.....not my career. At the age of almost 32, I have not get my dream job/career that I proud of. I only go to work everyday...get it done and go home...I'm tired but I'm working and I'm still not satisfied.

I used to think maybe if I earn more money, bigger paycheque I will be happy. But its not. I had that moment where I got BIG paycheque but end of every month I'm still not happy not because less money but less time for myself.

How many of us lucky enough to have her/his job as a career for them to go on and on and on....To me, as long as I look at my job only as a job.....there is no room for me to feel satisfied and to look at what I am doing now as a career..this is not what I wanted.

When I was a little girl..I always dream of being young boss...going to the office wt briefcase...wear a suit....then when I was teenager, being so close to my dad, my ambition changed......I want to be an engineer (my dad was a technician, technical guy who doesnt know how to express love but he's very sensitive and cool in his own way).

My dad wants me to be an accountant ( i dont know where he got the idea)....luckily I'm not a good girl obey to all what parents say....I choose engineering...and here I am.

I am happy of what I have now but I am not satisfied because this is only a JOB not A CAREER...

To all my beloved teachers...Happy Teacher's Day.

Besides my lovely parents, Teachers is my best guidance throughout my kids year, adolescent year and graduate year....

During my primary school, My teacher named Mrs Rokiah (Standard 1-3). Very softspoken but garang jugak. I got my denda Rotan as early as standard 2. Balik rumah mmg tak inform parents cos takut kena marah. Thats the beauty of learning at school those days. Kena rotan pun takpe and tak pulak marah teacher. relax je. Why I kena rotan masa standard 2? heheehheeheh...knowing that I am very talkative, I had been rotan due to that as well..hahahhaahah...Mrs Rokiah is explaining something in front of the class and I help my friend to understand what she talking about...so, Mrs Rokiah tot I wasnt pay attention and she Rotan me..Fine, no revenge..;-). I was fav student after all.... ;-D.

Second denda when I was in standard 4. Ni mmg nakal punya pasal lah. I bergendang in my class during end of year exam. hahahahahha...I tot the time was over, then we start chatting (mmg suka bercakap)...singing (it was last paper), I played drum that time. After a while, dah chaos dah ni...Mr Wahab masuk. Semua kena cubit yg kaw-kaw punye....sampai lebam lengan..hahahahahahhha..yet,no revenge Sir..and I was ur best student..always number 1... ;-P

3rd time when I was in standard 6. My class teacher name Pn Rohana Jalil. No kidding, memang tulah nama dia. Garang giler ok tapi baik. She's the best maths teacher I ever have. She will give us maths homework every day without fail. 1 mistake, 5 rotan kat tapak tgn. The most I ever get is 20 rotan..10 left/10 right. Because 4 out of 50 question wrong. Sakit wooo sampai menggigil tgn, nak tulis pun susah. Yet no complain from parents, nak mengadu memang kena marah lagi ada. As a result, our class get 100% A in UPSR for maths. Subject lain, ada lah B.
~Thank you so much teacher Rohana by giving me a very good fundamental of Maths.~

Secondary School pun ada cerita menarik jugak. I kena rotan sekali je masa Form 2. ni pasal tak reti tulis essay BM. Form 3 was the best period. Masa ni ,konon2 mcm dah besar. I categorised myself Nakal at school. Kena marah dgn Guru Disiplin ,Selalu. My name always in Prefect book (my big bro as head prefect will padam my name, Thanks Love). Pernah kena denda jalan Itik from class to Science Lab (the whole class). Selalu kena sound dgn Ustazah and compare me wt my softspoken brother(of course lah I yg jahat), yet I was popular due to my academic n sports achievement. (show off pulak....hahahahahaah)

thanks to my maths teacher (Maths is my fav subject)Pn Sharizan, Pn Mashitah..my geography teacher who called me ADIK, Pn Zalina(tak sure lah pulak)

~ my big bro so popular in school bcos he is very handsome and gentlement and teacher's pet.~

Form 4~5 masuk MRSM,boarding school. My homeroom teacher called Mr Jidin. Sgt baik. Teach Fizik. I have 1 fav teacher kat MRSM. PN Azizah, history Teacher. Dapat A1 ye my history. She was a fav teacher among student, strick but mommy kind of style. Well , u live in hostel, u need mother figure to soften u a bit. It works for me....I miss her..I do. Hope we can meet one find day.
~Thanks so much teacher Azizah for being there for me during my identity/image confuse period~

MARA College Banting. I have fav teacher too. Thanks to Pn Saa'idah who were there all the time. She was my psychology teacher. Yes I took Psychology as a subject. Banyak rahsia I share with her. MOst teachers in Banting so lovely and I miss them. I am still nakal when I was in college. I tolak anak warden sampai jatuh basikal, I throw this little kid bicycle into the big drain(I marah dgn college warden ni cos suka2 je scold me when I was just came back from playing badminton and this warden mmg anti dgn I), kena diri atas kerusi cos tak bawak buku exercise but I did the exercise,kena masuk bilik principle pasal Warden ni Dengki lah jugak,yet principle let me go at the end,keluar curi2 panjat pagar after curfew, kena marah dgn my block Warden K.Ros(she's nice actually and she's the one back me up every time college warden have thing on me) bcos masak maggi dlm block guna rice cooker. So many rules and I became So rebellious I would say.
~Kak Ros and teacher Saa'idah, thanks for everything and all your support during my rebellious time~

University...no more intimate relationship with teachers. everybody treated you as an adult. If u do have close relationship wt lecturer, maybe u have an affair. and thats not right....less rules, i became normal person. No more rebel, concentrate in study, less entertaiment(main bowling pun tak pernah except final year started), tgk movie je lah. clubbing pun tak pergi, apparently my clubbing life started after I got my first paycheck....now dah slow down, dah tua...:-D pergi kelas agama pulak...hahahahah...

Looking back all those memories, I want to thanked all teachers who are responsible taught me to be who I am today. NO REGRETS TEACHERS....I AM A GOOD DAUGHTER,GOOD CITIZEN,GOOD EMPLOYEE,GOOD SISTER, GOOD NIECE AND GOOD FRIEND....soon to be good wife and mummy..insyaallah. ;-D (how soon is soon?)

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY. I LOVE YOU TEACHERS.....

The 3rd day of Endau trip...Everybody sleeps well? nah, not really..mcm seram jugak kat hutan ni. What did we do on 3rd day....oh yes,Kind of relaxing day, going to trek back to Kuala Jasin after lunch,observing ppl who get ready to torture themselves on Buaya Sangkut hiking.....BUt first, dissamble our tent, packing up all stuff, and have a morning shower at Upih Guling.Upih Guling not that far from campsite. take only 10-15 min and we have to cross one river. Cetek je but the current strong jugak for shallow river. I was thinking not to swim this time cos i dont wanna get wet and this is the pieces I will wear for journet back to Kuala Jasin.

Not much to tell along the route to Upih Guling. Just small chit chat btwn gang, the pacat still there, and we reach a stream which believe to have kind of medicine impact for someone who drink it. Me and Mia just wash our face hoping that our face will be berseri2...hahahahahah..

Look at Ubai face berseri2 just before step into stream. Me and Mia test the water and hopefully no jerawat tumbuh afterwards....

After few minutes, we arrive UPIH GULING WATERFALL.

I have mention at the beginning I dont want to swim this time. Thought that I had enough waterfall...but hey, look at the pool and water..so inviting,irresistable....

So..i jump into it..yohoooo...the rock so slippery and I actually tergelincir ..sakit woo..Mia as usual will look for pelampung. Knowing Mia, she will definitely go for it ....she will not let us left her behind in this kind of activity

Mia the MIkel. Semua org kena jaga dia. We rotate to hold the tali just to make sure she didnt move freely with current. Me and Ubai at last malas nak pegang tali tu and leave her in the pool..(there is private pool up there and we actually climb the slippery rock to be there. Its consists of 1 big pool, one small pool divided by short tunnel. nice place to be...)

here's the chronology of how I struggle to get out from the water. MIa dgn berbesar hati nak tolong but I was afraid if I grab her hand, and she slip off into water, cannot swim...who going to save her...dah jadi hal lain pulak.

THen she handed me the rope.....Nizam came to help and Ubai still struggling himself to be nearer....

tot that the guy going to help..but..hmmmm just laugh....but seriously it was so funny and I felt so hopeless. After gain several bruises on my knee and leg..I get myself up. mmg melutut,tertiarap semua gaya ada just to get up there. Anyway, thanks to Mia yg nak jugak membantu and NIzam and Ubai for being there....Just in case I terslip ke kan..ada jugak yg nampak. (tayang body je kwn2 lelaki I ni..heheheheh)

Happy, at last dapat jugak sampai atas tu. Si Ubai ni, masa tulah nak lalu..siap senyum pulak tu.

Nizam tried to slide but its not slippery enough. So he actually jump into the pool. this is the pool I talk about earlier. Since camera with Ome, so we cannot capture the view of the private pool.

I decided to free fall.

Left : 4 of us in the pool..mia push me with the pelampung
Right : Mia going to cross the big pool. Budak kecik tu pun tak pakai pelampung. Nizam dgn sabar pegang tali .....
After all this action, we head back to the campsite. have Lunch..the best ever because we had sambal belacan and ikan masin..what a combination...sooooo goood...mcm biasa, Tambah nasi lah kan. I trek back to Kuala Jasin with that wet clothes. Dont bother to change since everything has being pack up and it will be sweat a lot anyway plus 2 rivers to be cross as well.
Our journey back to Kuala jasin turn out very fast. Seems every body cant wait to leave the place and back to modernisation. We enjoy the peace, silence but not too long. Well, we are an urban kiddo...heheheheheh..

Arrive Kuala Jasin canteen..hehehehehehehh...on right, Ome tidur. ke tu.lahhhh. Nizam happily play org asli game.

There u go. After had couple of drink, relax a bit, time to clean our campsite. There's actually the reason why we have to clean up the leaves. A group of giant ant live in between the leaves,therefore we need to get rid of the leaves in order to get rid of the ants....When I said giant,it is really a giant ant and I get bite...ooouuch..it hurt.. ;-(

Our tent is ready. Endau Rompin has so many waterfall from the big one till the smallest we should called stream.

We had our evening pre shower at one of this stream. Just lepak there, play around till we ready to have real shower at public toilet.
Dinner will be ready by 8pm. Then we will be going for night jungle trekking to view any active animal in the woods in the dark.
Meanwhile waiting for dinner to be ready, we had a nice rest in out tent. Nizam, doesnt want to be left out as Ubai nowhere to be seen, join us in our tent. We talked about WAX, talked about girl stuff considering Nizam as one of our girl friend...hahhahaahahha...Dila, elegantly set up her own beauty salon outside. Touch up her face, kemaskan eyebrow,menicure, pedicure semua complete. Thats a circle of fren I have and they are just being themselves...honest, sincere...

the view from inside the tent. Thats where Dila set up her beauty parlor.

Remember I mention earlier we going to have night walk. So we did. Everybody seems scared and so quiet while entering the jungle. Me and Dila notice a ring on the ground but dont dare to take. Mia, I think scared moment makes her so stress become so garang and nak marah semua org including the other guide, Pak Seman. At one point in the mid of the jungle, Eddy ask us to stop and shut off the light. So dark of course, I recite every surah I can remember correctly non stop. I try to look around to see any animal but really hope I didnt see anyting I dont want to see.

Eddy taught us how to survive in darkness of the jungle, how to look for light, which plant can help us to see and so on and so forth. While Eddy showing us on of the bamboo, Dila want to see it nearer and incindentally step on Ubai foot.Ubai was shocked but suddenly realise what is happening. "Kau pijak kaki aku" Ubai whispered. Dila immediately move her leg. At that point of time, nobody dare to make a sound or nay noise cos we have been warn by Eddy. Well, its really a jungle and at night. I was about to smile but dont dare also....hehehehehehhe...

What did we catch after that..many leeches. Not much to do after that, just have a cup of coffee, try to finish up as much as possible all the food and have a very good night sleep on last night at jungle. Tomorrow we will be back to our life and our city.....

Just before we aboard into the train on the next day, we had tea break at Famous Kluang station. The nasi lemak so sedap. each of us had 3 bungkus. ice lemon tea also good. The best ever is very cheap...

2009-05-06T09:52:00.000-07:00

This is the second episode of Geng Pengembaraan adventure.

1st may...

Our day starts as early as 6.30am. Have maggi goreng and telur mata as bfast, we are ready to go. Ome decided to stay so, she will wait for us at the end of the day.....(in the middle of my trekking, I do think of how brilliant Ome is decided not to join.Its damn exhausted..but well, Ome miss the fun in some ways...heheheheh)

Starting point Kuala Marong to Buaya Sangkut. This trek is known as the most difficult but we couldnt imagine how difficult it can be...so, here we are. Bear in mind, 5.5km is not flat trek..its go up,go down,go up, go down, go down go up and so on.

The journey started by climbing the stairs..to the hanging bridge and enter the jungle. At this point everybody still energetic, excited and free our mind not to think how difficult the trek will be. Our aim only to be at Buaya Sangkut waterfall at 12 noon and be back before dark....

We enter the woods. The trek still consider easy,still flat surface,still can smile widely.

After a few steps..we found fresh tiger print. According to Eddy, our guide...its approximately 50kg weight of tiger. I felt excited and nervous at the same time. Well, its a wild tiger anyway. Not the one in cage at zoo.

Continue...we found fresh,lively periuk kera. This trip educate me to value our jungles, our wild life so that our children can see what we experience now. Still, at this point..we are all ok. Pacat, yes, they started their adventure too.

This is our first stop after 1.5 hours trek. Everybody busy get rid of pacat. Nizam collected the most since he didnt wear any socks,just sandal and shorts.

Our first stop actually called Batu Hampar...

Buaya Sangkut 4km....Takah Kunyit 3km... this is actually the first 45 deg trek..doesnt look like that anyway..but the tiredness while climb it..definitely 45 deg slope..

left : this is 10 years old mushroom.... right : this is the first river waterfall cross

batu tu licin so kena extra carefull masa crossing. Me, at first I tried to step on the rock and when i have difficulties to balance myself, I just take off my shoes and cross through the water..easy and faster.. and this is our second stop after...i lost count of hours by then.

Nizam has been forced to become the 'tree' for Mia to hold to while crossing. He wear sandal so he is so 'kerek' cross the river...heheheheheh...

Dilla busy checking on how many pacat she actually catched.....look at the socks, fashionable is a must and I think that attracts pacat.... ;-)

We rest for a while. Eddy started his story about his friends died during white water rafting in Slim River. She was flying out from the raft....the current so fast...they cannot do anything and suddenly he saw the clear water become red....her helmet crash into pieces...What a sad story in the jungle..so Mia asked..."cerita lah yg happy2 sikit, tak nak cerita org mati"...then Eddy smiled and said " Saya jumpa harimau masa kat ........(mana ntah, I tak ingat).Harimau tu besar saya." So itulah happy moment Eddy which me and Mia trying to be happy too....(jumpa harimau pun happy ke....takut lagi ada)

TipS : Eddy said if we face to face with tiger, stare at her eyes,step forward so she knows we are not scared of her and she will go away. Dont ever turn your back because Tiger will attack you as she sees your back....(mcm dlm Beastmaster..anybody watching that series..)my question, ada berani????

at about 11am ++...we arrived Takah Kunyit. Masa ni mmg dah penat tahap gaban and berpeluh mcm habis air satu badan but when we see the sign..lagi 1km Buaya Sangkut..kind of relieve pasal dah dekat. and this consider our 3rd stop.

Penat macam mana pun, tetap maintain senyum. Look at Nizam..dah almost hilang seri senyuman....heheheeheh..do u see the hill behind us..thats is the one we have to climb up afterwards.... pokok di bawah tu adalah Kacip Fatimah...

consider as our 4th stop because too tired after climbed up the most steep hill of entire journey..(mcm poyo je bunyinye but memang mcm nak putus nyawa) While climbing this hill, I was mumbling asking why this buaya tersangkut tinggi sangat. Kat bawah2 sudahlah kan..Ada pacat near my armpit after I sandar kat pokok tu....manage to buang anyway...

finally, we arrived Buaya Sangkut Waterfall at 12.30pm

some photos taken over the victory of conquering the Buaya Sangkut. HAhahahahahaha.....but where's the Buaya Sangkut???

Look at the big rock horizontal there...That is the head of Buaya yang tersangkut. Based on the story, in short version ya, once upon a time, there is a father and daughter. The daughter are believe to be kill by Buaya when she grows up. So the father brought her to the highest place as possible to avoid Buaya. One day, the daughter said she saw buaya tersangkut at waterfall...and her father quickly kill the crocs, took the body and skin and made Gendang out of crocs skin. When the Gendang is completed, he hang it at his daughter room above her head. Next morning, her daughter found dead due to Gendang fall over her head. So, the rock that in the photo is believe to be the head of Buaya yang tersangkut tu....Based on the head size, can u imagine how big the overall crocs is????

after 4 hours of trekking, just take photo???no no no no...we settle down here for a while

this is our swimming pool at Buaya Sangkut. A little bit uphill...less current, more secure.

prepare our lunch....just tuna sandwich and instant noodles

we can swim down here. at the top where Ubai is...the current so fast. and beyond that is actually a big lake ,80ft deep. too calm and its scary. we dont have photo while we swim because dare enough to risk bringing the camera across the water....we have to swim and with camera...forget it. So, the memories remains in our mind.

After spending about 2.5 hours there...we heading back at 3pm and target to reach campsite before dark. According to Eddy,before 7pm.

Way back somehow not that difficult because more downhill than uphill. So, a little bit faster.

we arrive campsite in one piece before dark...Alhamdullilah...and Ome welcoming us.Apparently, while we went for hiking, Ome by default became a manager of the place. People who came in this place ask her about Buaya Sangkut, how far is Batu Hampar from here and she even forbid people to have bath at the river...u can mandi manda but no shampoo and soap please....she did an excellant job and we did ask her how many groups has arrived..so on and so on...she can answer all of it fluently as if she's been there quite a while....Well Done Manager.. ;-)

At night, we had dinner yang dah lupa apa tapi Semua org tambah nasi at least once lah....perhaps we are so tired and hungry too. Habislah nasi yg di masak and all lauk pauk...before I forget, there is one item in here which really make u having a big appetite. Its Kicap Manis ABC...makan dgn apa pun sodap..betul, mmg sedap and thats is actually our main menu on top of all dishes...

After dinner and before end of the night.....we had campfire,drink tea,makan biskut and share story about Sang kancil & gajah, filem2 P ramlee and nyanyi lagi anuar zain(our guide big fan Anuar zain).

thats the end of 2nd day......3rd and 4th day to be continue....

Back to Nature Endau Rompin I

2009-05-05T18:38:00.000-07:00

Hi to whoever read my blog....

My second trip for this year so much challenging, not really tired though and definitely having fun. ENdau Rompin camping trip 4d3n was our activity. We had several weeks kind of training at Bukit Gasing....jogs and swimming as much as possible just to make sure we are all up to it. (Believe me, it was so tough....at least for me)

Thinking of everyone will get exhausted after the trip, so we decided to take a train ride KL-Kluang-KL.

29th May....(Wed)

Senandung malam train at 9.30pm. We meet up at KL sentral at 8.30pm(I told everybody the train at 9pm just to make sure everybody arrive on time...)

this is the bunk option. RM36 for lower beth,RM31 for upper. We took out 3 lower, 3 upper... Even in train, funny things begins..Well, I havent ride a train since I was 16 years old (and I am now 31 years old),just imagine how jakun I can be..hahahahahh...1st time naik Bunk pulak tu..

the "bunkface"

When we board into a train....there was an automatic door to go to the cabin...Nizam first enter followed by Ome, no problem. Me the third follow...and the door close. try to figure out how to open ,tak dapat jugak and entah mcm mana, the door open. so, we enter one by one and beg Dilla pulak tersepit....at last , all manage to get into cabin safely.(still do not know how the door work)

not finish only there...Mia n Dilla went to canteen to have dinner. On the way back to cabin...the train was stopped at one of the station to pick up passenger. So , these two ladies brilliantly decided to go out side....walk along the train and get back to our coach. Suddenly, the coach door cannot open and the train started moving....panic attack, both run as fast as they could to other coach...lucky enough to get back into the train.

Now..the automatic door....it was open when they arrived.The moment Dilla enter it, its close and Dilla tersepit in between...Mia,again panic..do what ever she can and finally manage to open it......then we really try to figure out how this door works...where's the sensor. We finally found out. The door sensor is at the top of ur head. u have to stand at the mark on the floor and the sensor will sense u there thus the door open. The ONLY problem is that, u have to be tall enough for the sensor to sense and being 4 cute ladies...the sensor fail to sense our present. we actually have to raise up our hand to be near to the sensor...then the door open......

Then we all sleep on our journey to Kluang.....

30th May...(Thurs)
Arrive Kluang Station at 4.00am..
The pick up will only come the earliest is 9.30am. So basically we have to be creative enough to waste 5.5 hours...one of the option, of course...continue sleeping...
Can u see those shoes..I was lay down and the cameraman was behind me....

At about 6am, we heard AZAN...ohh dah subuh ni. So all wakes up, siap2 apa yg patut and heading to one of the coffee shop so called for b/fast and hang out for another 3 hours. As Kluang kopitiam being so famous, we cant wait to have b/fast at the original Kluang station Kopitiam...unfortunately of all days we have in a week..they close on Thursday. No choice, pergilah ke warung2 berdekatan...

Went to this warung Ujang...obviously we are the 1st customer. orderlah roti canai, nasi lemak,air sorang segelas....chatting...gelak2..excited ni nak masuk hutan. Time flies, we order more drinks tapi kita tak order serentak cos, yelah we are so used of budaya mamak yang u boleh order bila2 masa je kan.Sekali abang amik order ni hangin pasal we all kejap2 order. Dia siap sound lepas ni tak de ek pasal dia sibuk...(I cannot relate his extremely busy tu pasal in KL if we are busy mmg busy lah kan...I tgk dia mcm boleh je managed. And Abang ni buat lawak yg we all tak faham and we just smile and ignore) so , Nizam pun kata, tahap busy sini and KL mmg jauh berbeza.....;-) ...tapi Air limau ais the best...

At 9.30am almost sharp, our picj up arrived....finally, we get into this 4wd van and off to Endau Rompin (Kg Peta). For the first 30 min, the road all ok, smooth, still town area. Then the driver name Kevin or Calvin...stop at Shell Kahang. "Sapa nak pergi toilet, pergi skrg ye....another 1.5hours takde toilet.."
continue our journey from Kahang and yes..its bumpy road....kelapa sawit kiri kanan...tanah merah berlubang2...mmg boleh terkencing if tak ke toilet tadi. but still me and Dilla boleh je lelap kjp....

Then after almost 2 hours bumpy rides...we arrived Kg Peta. Thats where the real trip is all about. We welcome by numbers of dogs but behave...the owner of the house(org asli) went to very basic toilet(belasah jelah and this is when wet tissue become valueable item). Had our first lunch. At first, mmg mcm tak lalu, tgk surroundings and all but we really dont care and mentally ready for the worst...boleh je makan lunch tu dgn jaya nye....
Done Lunch....ready to start GENG PENGEMBARAAN. yang baju hitam tu our guide..Eddy nama nye...tgh pakai kasut tu Ubai/cameraman ..tu pasal gambar dia kurang.

Boat ride to Kuala Jasin

suka....;-)

sefamily gajah yg anak2 nye sudah ke depan

berehat sebentar after 15 min treks..baru 15 min tapi dah berpeluh giler

across the woods....

Across the hanging bridge

Across the river

All of this trek consider easy ..... to get us to Kuala Marong where our Campsite will be...after 1.5 hours trekking +- lah kan..we arrive Kuala Marong.

Kuala Marong campsite

Tapi our tent not in here...little bit further on the right....secluded and riverfront

My 1st vacation year 2009

2009-02-17T18:53:00.000-08:00

Me and my travel buddies...

Starting year 2009 not as good as previous years..Bad Economy in 2009 is the hottest topic to be discuss among us wherever we go, in whatever we do. Since the plan to Hanoi, yes thats the destination of my 1st vacation this year has been arranged last year, Sept 2008 if i recall well. So we proceed as planned.

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam (I was just know this) is very much alive city which you can hear the most famous sound around the city almost 24/7..the horn...its like ur alarm in the morning, the Hello greeting to tourist, excuse me, hey!! I'm here..what ever u want to put it. its every where and non stop. Other than that Hanoi is a charming city in its own way.

We select all our trip upon our arrival. As a result, our trip is accompanied with various nationality from all over country in the world. We had Cute, Pretty and Handsome Japanese, gorgoeous Aussie,weird Gay Couple (not because they are Gay, but they are weird themselves),Alaskan couple, Beautiful Holland couple,American mother and Son, Indonesian Father & daughter, Israel and us weirdo Malaysian( yes, we were also weird in our very own way...heheheh)

Lets start with our 1st day.....(21/2/2009)

Upon touch down the weather was just nice. With temperature 20 deg Celcius, we love it. We've been told its winter season now but hey, its southeast asia, how cold it can be (thats where we underestimate,later you will know what happen) check in to Aptguesthouse in Old Quater, we started plan out our excursion trip for 6d5n holiday. We choose Halong Bay trip, Tam Coc and Perfume Pagoda

http://www.aptguesthouse.com/. Recommended to those who wanna visit Hanoi as backpacker.Cheap, convenient, clean, hot/cold shower,attached bathroom, kettle in the room, walking distance to all shopping street, Hoan Kiem Lake and friendly staff. Very affordable excursion trip package.

After had an instant noodle lunch in our room (still trying to read the map where to go and all), we started survey the area. Try to locate which street to go again for shopping. Make a list in our own head what to buy and how to bargain....then we took a cab to Ho Chi Minh Maussoleum..nearby the place, also can cover One Pillar Pagoda, House of Stilt & Presedential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Museum and Temple of Literature. All within walking distance. Some apply entrance fee but so cheap. (USD1-2)

P/S : beware of Taxi driver ..negotiate the price b4 hop into cab eventho the cab got meter. we've lost 300,000 Dong(USD17) bcos of bad taxi driver...(it should be only USD2-3 per trip)However,we manage to get 80,000 Dong(USD4) for the return trip.
Back to Old Quarter, almost dark..and getting colder. Heading to Nisa Restaurant. As the name sound, its a malaysian restaurant and definitely HALAL. Savour our Dinner with these Vietnam meal... A must try meal , Pho Bo

Our night continue with Water Puppet near Hoan Kiem Lake. The visit to Hanoi is incomplete if u miss the show. Thats what everyone keep saying and eventho some of my friends slept from mid show till the end, we do enjoy it..its different and YES, A Must See Show. A night at Hoan Kiem Lake

Nisa Restaurant, 90A Nguyen Hu Huan Street, Hoan Kiem Dist (its in Old Quarter Area, can ask the receptionist where the exact location. Its also has the room to be rent. Can call Mr Ben Taat,+84 912040537)

End of 1st day with not so much to do but we did cover all interesting places in Hanoi City only in half a day....By the way, towards the end of the day, we got immuned of this Horn sound, its become a music for our ears....;-)

2nd Day (22/2/2009)

Started our day as early as 7.00am. Halong Bay is our next destination. 2d1n package, sleep on boat,seafood lunch and dinner(Delicious, fresh and HALAL), breakfast included for sure,kayaking, cave exploration and all for only USD60 per pax. Just one thing to be remind....eventho they serve delicious dinner/Lunch with 8 different meal with rice at one time, you have to pay for your drink...drink not included at all except for breakfast. And thats only tea/coffee..

The room based on twin sharing. with aircond, fan ,attach bathroom. The temperature during our arrival in Halong Bay still ok. manage to wear sleeveless and short but it getting colder and colder when night approaching. The place has certainly rejuvenated us....

There are almost 3000 small island around it. Magnificient view, no word to described it. Except you've been there then you can feel it. Most of the time we were just speechless and be in our own world..Halong Bay has been chosen as one of the UNESCO World Heritage. COmpulsory to be here if u have trip to Hanoi.....HIghly recommended and its affordable trip... Submerged in her own emotion..

some of the view

In the cave

Smile....u r in wonderful place

Moment to be all by myself...Sunset

In my cabin

If we want to talk about Halong bay, the beauty of it, the splendid view around it, it will become never ending story. We slept in peace in our cabin, just a little bit sound of generator, overall so peacefull....the most important,no more horn sound...what a relive..Well, we had finally immuned to it but still...

Next Morning. (23/2/2009)..

at 8am, we get ready for 1 hour kayaking activity. get into kayak, paddle for one hour ......capture the glittering moment and kept all oustanding view in owns memory. Its cold while paddlling , Yes but its all worth it.

After kayaking, clean up, packing, check out from our cabin but still on boat...heading to the port. It is sad to think that our wonderful time on boat and this brilliant place come to the ending. The memory remains and some of us including myself have no hesitation to return to this place....The place I want to revisit...

All of us slept along the journey and suddenly we heard very familiar but irritating sound...HORN..Yep, we arrived Hanoi at 7pm. The indicator of Hanoi city was so obvious...

4th day in Hanoi (24/2/2009)

Same as 2 days before , we get ready as early as 7am. We always have to be early becos the van/vehicle for our trip will fetch us first and drop us last. So, apparently the trip journey started at about 8-8.30am. Today destination....Tam Coc.(no idea what will be expected but I know its going to be fun bcos I'm with my friends and we always make it fun..;-D )

This is the time when we realised that we had underestimate the weather in Hanoi.

REMEMBER : NOV-FEB IS WINTER AND TEMPERATURE CAN DROP TILL 8-10 DEG.

We only equip with our normal jacket, not even for spring,let alone winter. No glove, luckily I was just bought new muffler at night market after arriving from Halong Bay. Didnt expect the temperature will drop to 10 deg..we frozen but still enjoy each and every moment in Tam Coc. Just imagine, in that 10 deg, we decided to cycle around the village in Tam Coc. Crazy but we did it...Its about 45 min cycling trip....enjoy the scenery which also known as Halong Bay in Paddy field.Ready to cycle...

the journey begins

Entering the village

The route that we took is apparently heading to restaurant which we going to have our lunch. Its a buffet with various food including seafood, vege's, pork , beef and all. So , just choose what u like to eat..and as usual, pay for ur drink (every trip package includes lunch but not drink, kind of funny actually,eat all u can but buy your own drink)

Lunch done. I ate a lot of egg fried rice, vege's, fish fillet...really stuff my stomach after 45 min cycling in very cold weather. Next activity, get on boat ride..its better to call paddle sampan ride..its all in the package.

Boat ride...bon voyage

Can u figure out how cold it is..

the journey

everywhere can shop

4th day trip done when we arrive Hanoi at about 6pm. Already dark, again we had our dinner at Nisa. Then we proceed to some street to buy some souvenirs...linger around night market, bought glove for each one of us(prepare for 2moro trip,another boat ride)

process of choosing the painting

Process of choosing the silk

late at night, we got back to our room..without word...sleeppppppp well...i think I heard someone bargaining in her sleeping...really wanna get a good price perhaps... ;-D

5th day (25/2/2009)

On the 5th day, we proceed to another province. This place called Perfume Pagoda. Its been called as such because, during spring, all the flower blossom and produce a fragrance. This sweet fragrance will be smelt around the area of Pagoda. SInce we were there during winter, no fragrance smell but no bad smell either. This pagoda will be visited by most buddhist few days after Lunar festival to pray for good thing to happen throughout the year.

the boat ride

still long way to go

inside the cable car

Take a boat ride for about 1 hour before start the trekking.THere are 2 ways to go up to this pagoda. (this pagoda located at the cave on the hill..) 1. going up by foot..2.going up by cable car. We opt 2nd option but we went down by foot just to save time and have diffrent exeprience.

this is perfume pagoda..after going up, the pagoda is down there

trek going down..long way

our lunch for a day...just leave anything u cant eat to others. there's vege's and sweet sour fish.everything here eat with sticky rice...so, for those who really worried what to eat, just eat rice then..

Later, we took our ride back to the port(so called), get into our van...back to Hanoi. Arrive Hanoi about 7.30pm. little bit late for shopping.(shop close early due to Lunar festival eve). we decided to celebrate the eve later, so have some rest at room, trying to finish up all food in the room(we dont want to take it back to KL)....and we actully slept till 11pm. 11.30pm, we started walked heading to Hoan Kiem Lake to celebrate the festival together with local....

5 of us bought a kind of lantern, burn it and let it fly to the sky. its kind of tradition so we tried it. its fun. 12 mdnite sharp, fireworks begin dancing in the sky.....so beautiful and feel like part of the locals. Next trip ,we wanna plan to celebrate CNy at Laos...

final day (26/02/2009)

Our return flight will be in the evening...cab will come and fetch us at 4pm. So we decided to walk around the lake , make some final shopping and of course photo session.

local come here to pray..we come here to pose

the art by the lake

aiming for cheap Deuter and North Face. Every body finally bought one for themselves except me and Shida..not much choice on Deuter

our last lunch at Hanoi..we had tuna sandwich afterwards. So juicy and the bread so rich..i love it..

Time to go home.....

We arrived KL at almost mdnite. Splendid vacation ever, with same companion, will go to Laos next year...

2008-11-04T01:23:00.000-08:00

how many holidays u take per year? 1,2,3,4 or non? come on, cannot be none. We are human being who need rest, need to have fun, need to relax our mind . Dont stress up our life just for not going holiday because
1) I dont earn much
holiday means we go somewhre other than our kampung, our home..can be local and oversea. depends on out budget. can just go camping at recreational park, can go picnic at one of our beautiful beaches,can go jln2 visit Melaka, penang, any historical place we do have in Malaysia. SO many places we can go.....and still affordable
2) I dont have fren to go
really......no person in this world has no fren. at least have hamster..hahahaahha
3) i'm not interested in travelling (got such ppl??)
travellling will enhance our ability to interact wt diff ppl in diff world
4) too many things to consider, my kids, accomodation..malas lah
come on...dont give such excuses
5) cannot take leave ( yeah right...)
u will not get promotion just because u never take leave but u will definitely become overstress if u didnt take leave.

so guys...lets go holiday....

I'm back after long silence

2008-10-30T00:44:00.000-07:00

Hi my friends and my reader.(if I have any) hhehehehhe...

Ramadhan was over a month ago. Then Syawal came..also finished yesterday. I had so busy day during Syawal.

This year kind of special because for the first time I dont have to go to Melaka to celebrate raya. Not that I dont like Melaka but ..........let it be blank.Our half first day at Bukit Antarabangsa, my big brother house. Another half of 1st day was a journey to Singapore..country I was born.

Driving to Singapore for the first time in My little orangee makes me so proud of the car( i pratically build it though.heheheheh). The traffic at Malaysia highway slow but ok untill we reach Tuas coastway, it was terrible. we stuck there for almost 1 hour just to get clear from Singapore immigration. Finally at 8.15pm, we safely arrived Singapore.

As usual, my aunties, uncles welcome us as such we never been there for such a long period..(its once a year visit due to busy life). After salam2 all uncles and aunties, me and my brother rush down to 7/11 to purchase night parking ticket. Yes, thats Singapore. Day parking $1 per hour from 7am till 10pm. $2 for night parking 10pm till next morning 7am.Also have kind of toll cost you $9.20. Need to register for Autopas if your vehicle first time enter Singapore..cost u $10 if not mistaken.

OK , finish all the payment....we unpack....so tired, starving everything...then sleep

2nd Day in Singapore

Wake up early, not planning to go for raya but went visit all dead relatives...;-). after spent about 2 hours in "rest in peace" place, we heading to kedai mamak to have brunch. nice Roti prata with lamb curry, Rojak Singapore, warm lime tea, teh tarik...yummy...

After come back from Jurong(where the cemetry situated) me and my brother continue journey to Orchard Road.

This orchard trip solely for breeze walking and window shopping.

we walk from end to end of orchard road. Actually we looking for HRC, forgot where is it located..hehehehhe

finally..we reach the destination. just bought short glass for my personal collection..

and thats the of tour.

At night , we had marathon raya tour cover 3 houses started from 7.30pm till 11pm. Had 3 diffrent meals ( well, singaporean is famous with good food)..

we had potato wedges (different kind of cook style) and fried chicken at 1st house, continue lontong and sambal udang at second house and last but not least...nasi beriani gam kambing. its WOW....since i cannot eat more , so we had ourselves tapau nasi beriani gam....heheheheh...

3rd Day Raya

This is the final day in Singapore but still have 2 houses to cover. Went to 1st house at 9am....just had simple kuih raya and tea..(thanks GOd)..move to second house, had again lontong, sambal kacang, sambal udang again. I'm a prawn favorite so I cant resist any type of prawn meal BUT the prawn has to be big, not small like masak sayur perencah one.....hehehehehhe

After had fill up the stomach, we get ready to leave Singapore.

at 2.30pm, me and my bro heading to KL and cant wait to lay down on my own bed. The journey was fine, not much traffic and we arrive KL at approximately 8.30pm. Once inside the house, we are so lazy to go out again to have dinner but damn Starving....so, finally we cook instant noodle....

ok.thats all about my raya this year.....;-D

lepak2 after break fast

2008-09-09T19:52:00.000-07:00

Bila Ramadhan, macam biasalah ada je makan2 dgn kawan2. Masa ni lah meluangkan masa with frens who usually busy in their daily life. But still, there is friend who extremely busy and didnt manage to spare some precious time for friends...well, its their choice.

For 1st event in this month, we try out buffet at Eden The Curve. The food so-so lah but still ok with the price about RM40 per person. After al most 1 hour there, we left but still some more thing to catch up...we heading to Gloria jeans for lepak2 and update.

Yang bestnye, dapat pulak lepak in private room...ha apa lagi....gegak gempita lah kan....kecoh mcm nak roboh gloria tu...luckily its indoor, so org luar tak dengar but i believe the can guess.

something unique about this group is that, we used to work together in same company but all of us move to different company and still close like before...

another unique thing is....all of us moved to different industry as well.....still engineer background but variety..

till we meet again...next makan2 ramadhan will be wt different group....

Yesss... Avril in town finally

2008-09-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

hey hey you you......i was estatic when Avril is finally in town, perform live in front of my naked eyes even tho....well yeah, its so far given that the price of the ticket i could afford...

But ...hey, dont bother becos i was there singing together with Avril...my fav singer.

look at that...waiting to be in..this at 6pm

bear in mind that show only start at 8.45pm(as stated outside) but delay till 9.00pm. People started to q early (that incuding me..hehehehh) .

it was raining while waiting for Avril to show up. We pray the raining will stop as soon as Avril start singing...

so, its raining...ah..its just a water..no harm, besides they provide free raincoat.

finally the bus which Avril in it arrived. see..blonde in white, thats Avril Lavigne. this time still raining.

At 9.00pm sharp, she rock the stadium. ANd I'm not allowed to take her photo during concert,they wanted my camera but no way hosey i'm giving my valuable camera..so i just give them the battery....

besides this small incident, doesnt ruin my mood at all. i keep rocking.....LOVE U AVRIL..

Ramadhan is here ...

2008-09-08T01:09:00.000-07:00

Hope fully not to late for me to wish all readers( not so sure how many) happy ramadhan. Alhamdullilah...I'm still breathing to celebrate this Ramadhan. As usual, my routine is going back hometown, celebrate 1st Ramadhan with my lovely parents. But this year, its special because my brother somehow stole his precious time to celebrate 1st Ramadhan together.

The most precious moment during Ramadhan for me is break fast with the whole family...going to terawikh toghether....bangun sahur together. Its not ablut the food you have but the moment spending as a family so damn priceless. I spent 2 days in my hometown and now I'm back into my urban life...breakfast alone at my tiny apartment.

The best part is i cooked my own break fast dishes. That is a must since cooking is my hobby. This is the month I can brush up my skill which almost gone during the rest of the year due to my hectic lifestyle (this include my working schedule , my travel routine and my vacation tru out a year). This is the month i can try out new recipe...this is the month I can save for Hari Raya..well save to be giving during raya....

orait...time to go and cook...cioa

Today in Melaka

2008-08-19T01:51:00.000-07:00

Practically I went to Melaka every year for hari raya. But last weekend I was in Melaka as tourist......

first destination..we visit Taman Mini Malaysia. with RM12 per person, u can actully get to know all 13 states traditional houses around the area. its interesting in a way I have no idea how the traditional house for certain states looks like. So I guess..this is it.

its started with Rumah Perlis and end up with Rumah Sarawak.

this is rumah Pahang....i think..forgot to capture the flag.

rumah Kedah

rumah negori sembilan

dlm rumah JOhor...obviously

inside Sarawak house

its 13 houses to look at and i managed to be at all trditional houses but too lazy to post it all here. Later at night, we went to Umbai the most popular place inMelaka to have a good seafood with reasonable price. I dont say it cheap because cheap is subjective relative to our pocket thickness as well...so the price is reasonable

with above kind of meal.....we pay below price..RM75.00 and yes it far too much for 2 ppl ....but hey, we love eating.....who cares..we pay..

come back from dinner..dont ask me anything about food..so full like no more space in my stomach but its only for that night.....

next day, we having breakfast...i had 2 roti canai with limau suam...my fav drink bcos i believe it can help flatten my belly ( yeah ...right ..hahhhah)

continue Melaka journey.....

we end our tour by noon.....grab some lunch and heading to KL...need to catch up final Olimpik badminton...well..we lost...

2008-07-28T00:06:00.000-07:00

Here you go...for the first time in my life, I watched squash live...Yes, its all because of the youngest Dato' in Malaysia ( I guess). Since she being crowned as World No 1 Champion, I instantly have the interest to get to know this sport better...not play it but watch her in action.

A modest world Champion

credit to her coach.....obviously she's good....

I am so glad have a chnaced to watch her in action during Semi and Final. She is unbeatable at this moment. Start playing at age of 5...very humble little girl I should say.....being loved by all malaysian and a very down to earth parents who brought her up...

2008-06-23T23:11:00.000-07:00

B'day celebration ni diadakan di Red Box The Curve....Sunday masa lunch. Booked 10 ppl, tapi show up 4ppl je including b'day girl. Nasib b'day girl ada, if not i je lah nyanyi dgn Mia.Tak boleh reduce number peserta pulak tu, so kenalah tunggu kejap pasal 4 ppl je turn up kan.Kena tunggu bilik kecil kosong.

Anyway, all that problem tak membantutkan kehangatan untuk berkaraoke....yeahoooo....

nilah B'day lady with a cake and hubby......boleh tahan jugak suara si Taqi tu..siap hafal lagu, takde lyrics pun ok.....on..

This is our next Pru....Idol.Where to go girl. You have all our support......

and this is our back up singer. Siap ada spare strepsil, sakit tekak punya pasal.

A very good afternoon getaway. next time boleh buat lagi..collection of song pun sgt menarik...

See u next episode of Runiz's life.....

Our Annual Breakaway @ Cherating

2008-06-17T14:49:00.000-07:00

Every year , we will try to get together at least once a year. Just to catch up among us. Last year we manage to get almost all of our team....since last year, Ita was pregnant the little girl, we were having BBQ at Ita's house....everybody was there except Ija.

But this year, Ija is here but Has and Mas couldnt make it. Maybe for next get together event we'll meet up.

as usual, we manage to get an apartment for everybody to be at the same place at the same time.

At the age of almost 31 years old.....this is the first time in my life, I touch and release the turtle to the sea.....lucky for Lyssa and Aliff...they got the change at early age..not to mention Aliff being so 'shy' with the turtle.....only manage to shake hand but no way to hold the turtle...probably he's not ready with this tiny ninja turtle as yet....

these little ninja pursue to the ocean but nobody knows are they survive and return as muumy turtle or this is the end of its life......

Ita is the only mum in this group for this trip...(Has suppose to come so we have 2 mums) she kind of busy managing her little buddy and little sweetheart.

they are adorable kids...

yes, I'm adorable but dont mess up with me....;-D

I'm the most charming little darling......smile....

4d3n Bangkok

2008-05-02T00:19:00.000-07:00

my travel buddy

Hi lovely readers....lets continue on Runiz's life. I was in Bangkok last March. Such an adhoc trip. not really plan but its all Air Asia fault. THey have the RM0.00 seat promotion. therefore, i bought the ticket.

Our guesthouse area

Golden Temple

temple lagi

shopping begins at Chatucak market

Floating market....

Elephant ride.....yeeehaaa...eh..tu horse ride.

For floating market, we book the package from the place we stay. BHT1000 for cab to and fro...elephant ride BHT600 per pax....floating market boat Bht600 ( not really sure) ..floating market is somehow different experience and definitely we dont have it in Malaysia...sampan n boat tu adalah, tapi floating market...takde kan.

Orang kata if ke Bangkok, nightlife tu jgn tinggal. So, we went to clubs...siap kena harras dgn Gay Boy.. not to mention kena harrass dgn bisex jugak...seram jugak but try hard maintain cool. Kalau yg harras tu cantik meletup n handsome melampau, takpe lah jugak. Ni.......mmg agak menyesal lah jugak terjebak ke area tu but....experience..ehehehheehhe

Yg tak tulen mmg cantik meletup. Its a WOW lah. Never let them upset. Sekali keluar suara guruh.....hhahahaahahahah

Heading somewhere

Last but not least....if ke Thailand...massage jgn tinggal. Murah..murah..murah...3 mlm kat sana...3 mlm bermassage..and ada mcm2 jenis massage, choose wisely cos some massage not meant for you but meant for others.......;-)

bercuti di phillipine

2008-02-25T23:07:00.000-08:00

Dah masuk bulan Feb ni...opps dah penghujung dah pun. Takpela, nak jugak berkongsi cerita about my 'amazing race' di phillipine.Amazing race ni semua peserta menang...takde yg kalah. Semua peserta di uji dari segi minda( kena baca map, kena jawab soalan,kena cari direction sendiri) dan tenaga fizikal( trekking di bandar dan di luar bandar) to finish 6 days event.

ni baru je sampai kat penginapan di Malate Pensionne, Manila.

area ni rupa2 nye clubbing and spa area. Memang happening..tourist pun ramai. clubbing start at 11pm till 5am ok...nak tidur mcm bising sikit tapi setiap kali balik berjalan...tooo exhausted and dont care....sleep tight..

this is the interior of our guess house...mcm dlm kapal...cool

alang2 dah stay in the area kan...so mlm2, we all jln2 lah jugak. happening jugak sampai pening

hari2 we all berjalan2 sama ada di dalam atau di luar Manila. Mode of transportation is Jeepney & LRT( within city), Bus for intercity..Cab just to make our life easy and not to forget...boat at Tagayaty Lake.

Trip to Tagaytay such a challenging trip i should say. At fisrt, we intent to take a bus , arrive bus station early in the morning just to find the bus no longer there. Alamak..cemana ni. Apa plan B? naik cab lah......this option is much more expensive than the first one and apparently we never thought to opt to this option......setelah berfikir dan berbincang sesama ahli kumpulan...we decided to take Cab. Eventho the beginning of the journey not smooth but its end up wonderful...Alhamdullilah...

boat ride through Tagaytay Lake

horse ride at Tagaytay

on the top of smallest volcano but still active. Panas tau kat situ. siap berasap2.

Sebelah kanan tu.....kena jalan dulu sejauh mata memandang then baru sampai tempat di atas. Sebelum trekking tu pulak, tu yg kena naik kuda comel dulu.....jauh nak trekking from tempat boat mendarat ke atas tu, jadi naiklah kuda...new experience and sakit2 jugak badan ni ....

inilah Volcano nye.....tapi pandangan angle sengetlah....

Hari seterusnye......berjalan di bandar Manila sahaja. Naik LRT ...We went to the famous Intramorous( They claim to be famous and must see venue) maybe our expectation too high or that place absolutely nothing to appreciate..we were not sure. Anyway, we completed the journey of a day....org kata..dah sampai tu...jalan jelah..

in front of Manila Chapel

Fort Santiago

Selepas Jln2 bandar Manila, mlm nye we all proceed to other place. BANAUE...jauh from Manila. 8 hrs by bus. Nasib tiket dah beli awal2, kalau tak..duduk kerusi kecik instead of regular seat dlm bas tu
usually bas ada 2 seat each side kan..but this one ada satu extra kecik next to 2 seats....8 hrs ride..can u imagine...penat tu...BANANUE bukanlah destination yg sebenarnye......we all nak ke BATAD RICE TERRACE...World Heritage recognise by UNICEF. From Bananue ( mcm cameron highland zaman 50an kot) naik jeepney ke Batad. Sampai situ....kena turun pulak then start lah trekking for 5 hrs to and fro....mcm ok mula2 tapi lama2 rasa...ehh kenapa tak sampai2. Inilah ujian fizikal paling mantap untuk 6 days event di phillipine...However its all worth it. tempat ni mmg sangat cantik. tak cukup mulut nak sebut...ya Allah..cantik nye...setiap langkah, photo taken...but in here, only very few lah.....nak tgk byk visit....http://runiz3010.fotopages.com

penat woooo.....tapi cantik tempat ni

dia akhir garisan trekking..inilah yg di jumpai...gorgeous waterfall

this is BATAD RICE TERRACE

Back from Bananue/Batad...we were so damn exhausted...kaki semua lenguh2. jln pun slow2 je. Bertaubat, tak nak dah trekking ni. Declare persaraan. So , last day in Manila....walaupun lenguh satu badan, tetap jugak continue round the places...we went to Hard Rock at the other side of Manila.....today is the day for shopping....

tu nampak bag Hard Rock tu..hahahhahahah....beli short glass je .....

our last dinner at Manila, Phillipine...

seafood yang sangat mantap..

this is the end of my phillipine vacation....

Jadd days out with Mama and Aunty Runiz

2007-11-15T08:54:00.000-08:00

Today is such a lovely day. me and my good friend brings her newborn baby to have lunch. first time going out with little hero, kelam kabut jugak.

1. we drove to tesco, find parking, parked the car...Jadd already in car seat... so,his mama bawalah si kecil ni keluar dari kereta. we both try to fix the car seat into the frame...byk kali jugalah try tapi tak menjadi...mmg lawak lah jugak...yelah Mama dia sendiri pun confused..usually his Papa yg buat semua tu. Nasib si little Jadd ni cool je. tapi at last..we figure it out...hehehhe..berpeluh2lah jugak..

2. we had our lunch in Santai..agak bising sikit but still little Jadd cool...

3. we did some shopping and we headed home. nak take off car seat from the frame pulak. ni pun satu hal jugak....try punya try akhirnye dapatlah seperatekan car seat tu from frame...place Jadd safelly in the car...ada lagi satu tak settle..cemana nak fold kan the frame pulak ni...yg ni mmg we all ambil masa agak lama to figure this out. berpeluh lah jugak the end of the day... masa bersusah payah tu, there's a car wait to park..mesti dia ingat we all ni culik anak org..tu yg terkial2 nak uruskan semua...

what ever it is..it was fun taking Jadd out...will do it again later..yes Mama Jadd...;-)

P Ramlee the musical

2007-10-23T02:14:00.001-07:00

last saturday i was at istana budaya, watching P ramlee the Musical...PRTM. before that, on wed, i beratur 2 jam just to collect the ticket. dah booked ,cuma nak collect je. begitu sekali sambutannye.
i enjoyed the musical... it was good in its own class. tak boleh nak compare dgn PGL sebab ianya mmg berbeza. yelah satu pasal puteri and dah ada filem untuk di rujuk, satu lagi pasal jalan hidup seseorang . in my opinion, watak saloma lakonan Liza Hanim is the best. she really good and dia berjaya membawa watak itu dgn baik. gaya lakonan nye sewajarnye di puji..we can see there is chemistry btwn her and P Ramlee lakonan sean Ghazi.
P ramlee agak kaku di samping Azizah(datuk siti nurhaliza) and Junaidah(atillia). as an audience i tak dapat rasa pun perasaan cinta kedua wanita ini terhadap p ramlee. lakonan Siti not strong enough di samping sean ghazi. ada ketikanya siti agak kaku.begitu juga dgn Atillia. ini sedikt sebanyak menampilkan ketidak serasian antara wanita ini dgn P ramlee.however, its a good start for newcomer though. mereka memerlukan byk masa utk develop the character of teater player. credit to them as well.tapi bab menyanyi..mmg di ketahui umum betapa hebat nye Datuk SIti.
peranan melissa saila serta kebolehan nye di pentas teater sememangnye telah well known. So , melalui Norizan, melissa sebenarnye membuat comeback. lama tak tgk dia berlakon. the scene with full of anger was good. meremang jugak bulu roma masa norizan mengamuk tu....superb.
Prop yang ditampilkan juga amat menarik....simple tetapi cukup untuk membawa audience ke zaman yang di terjemahkan. takdelah audience tertinggal...semua zaman di ikut sebaiknye..

last but not least...congrats to Tiara kerana sekali lagi berjaya mengangkat standard teater melayu ke tangga yg tinggi. tak mustahil untuk musical ini merantau ke negara luar sepertimana kita pernah menerima kunjungan CATS, FAME, STOMP...mungkin karya kita blm sehebat itu tapi inilah permulaan nya.

got back from raya

2007-10-18T19:55:00.000-07:00

selamat hari raya.....raya still on eventhough we are back from kampung.i'm back to work as soon as possible because i'm broke dude.
i celebrate raya in Johor and Singapore. In Johor not much to say since i have some issue with my aunty....
In s'pore...great. Raya in S'pore is so colourfull. every family will choose one color to be their color theme. each and every one in the family will wear same or similar color to each other. You can imagine how colourful the road will be during raya.
Another interesting subject raya in s'pore is their mode of transportation. Other than public transport which is awesome and reliable, they will drive any vehicles as long it can fit most family members.....such as, pick up lorry, van( not a regular van but the one we used to transport stuff not people), they rent a school bus wt driver,the head of trailer, bikes for couple, yhey rent a car for small family. I have experienced myself commute with pick up lorry.

Singaporean love visiting relatives in a big group. the whole siblings will be together on hari raya. thats why i'm broke..they will arrive in a very big number and get ready for duit raya..... ;-) but its fun. As everybody assume Singaporean known as up to date in fashion but sometimes I doubt it..hehhehe. During raya, the best thing is, they will wear baju melayu complete wt sampin,songkok and baju kurung whenever they berjalan raya. doesnt matter its 1st day,2nd day,3rd day or even middle or end of syawal, they love to wear baju melayu complete. it very seldom to see such scenario in KL or malaysia as a whole. usually pagi raya pertama je berbaju melayu, tgh hari dah tukar dah.. raya ke-2 dah baju biasa je.

itulah kemeriahan beraya di singapura...little bit different but still happening.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

2007-10-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

hi all,

wish u selamat hari raya and maaf zahir batin. drive safely....think of love one. its better late then death..

if u die, u dah lepaslah...org yang ditinggalkan merana selamanya...so dont be selfish, unless if u have nobody, then its ok. as long as u have family, think of them of whatever you do..

we'll be back after raya...no laptop during raya...busy travelling.....

once more SELAMAT HARI RAYA AND HAPPY HOLIDAY....YEAHOOOOOO

are you proud to be malaysian?

2007-10-10T20:16:00.001-07:00

I am proud to be Malaysian....well, we should be, right? malaysia can be categorised as small country...there is ppl outside familiar with Kuala Lumpur but not Malaysia. know the existence of Penang but not Malaysia.

When I was in Scotland....surrounded by all nation in the world,and I'm the only Malaysian....most question i have to entertain is..where is Malaysia...Hows malaysia looks like..is it modern country...how ppl living in there..I'm quite surprise but finally I get to know that...Is malaysia like Kuala LUmpur....

oh My God....they tot KL is another country....they kind of surprise when I said Kuala Lumpur is a city in Malaysia as a country. However, most of them knows our Tun Dr Mahathir...;-)

Why we should be proud to be Malaysian?
1. we have our very own automotive product PROTON
(eventhough some malaysian wont approve it but export market is acceptable)
2. we have Everest conqurer
3. we have South pole/North pole explorer
4. we have excellant swimmer for ocean not for pool
5. we have world class squash player, Nicol david
6. we have 2nd tallest buiding...used to be tallest before
7. we have country leader who the world give respect to
8. very recently we have our own malaysia brand astronout

this list can be longer as the time goes by.....

night job during ramadhan

2007-10-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

hi frens,
I have 3 night jobs in 3 weeks during ramadhan. It was exciting at first but tiring at the end. sleepy, dizzy,confuse,all sort of feeling appear at the end of the day.
Tonite job is little bit different. y??? hmmmm...because something spooky happen. Usually during night job, i will be in switch room for the whole night. but tonite, i have to be at the lobby to perfom some test......suddenly nature call...for first time i wentt o the lobby toilet at night. the moment i enter it, i smell like a flower and its so strong. at first, i tot it could be toillet perfume or something like that. but then i know how toilet perfume smell.

try not to think of anything, i was just cancel my intention and go to other toilet near to switchroom. meremang lah jugak bulu roma bila terhidu bau wangi semerbak.....pukul 2am+++..tapi ppl said, bulan ramadhan semua hantu syaitan kena ikat so maybe bau wangi ni...jin islam yg berpuasa jugak kot. so masa i went to the toilet, they went also.

lepas tu kan, dlm pkul 3.30am, i pergi lagi lobby tu nak beli air di vendor machine. i heard pak guard sedang azan dgn kuat nye.....
selalu nye if org azan b4 masuk waktu solat, mesti dia rasa takut or nampak apa2 kan....bila i masuk je lobby tu, pak guard tu perlahan kan suara...i pun beli air then ciao...after i keluar, i heard pak guard azan dgn kuat semula.....hmmmm...curios jugak but dont dare to know...

me and redang trip

2007-09-27T22:31:00.000-07:00

redang trip was the first travel i made in year 2007. it was sudden decision, no proper plan but turn out to be so damn good.

ready to go snokerling

i took below photo myself...

look at the water...isnt it fantastic. every morning,when we woke up...the ocean was so inviting.

this is the chalet i stayed. so near to the beach seems like u can just jump from the 2nd floor of the chalet....forgot to mention, our chalet is double storey. very affordable...

get a full board of breakfast to keep the stamina on the top while snorkelling later...

this was second day of vacation. already burned. my mum hardly recognise me when i get home....ehheehhe..

underwater view by myself

the view was so WOW...crystal clear water..not really crowded that time because the beach apparently is officially close. they were just open it the day we got back. so, its like....this is my island.

when the night fall.....i also fall down .....zzzzzzz

dilemma duit raya

2007-09-27T00:07:00.000-07:00

I was in Watson this afternoon. While paying my stuff, i cant help myself over heard the conversation btwn the staff there. since nak dekat raya ni, of course other than baju raya, they talked about how much duit raya to be given nowadays..
while listening to them, i was thinking to myself. How much is the smallest amount could be given as duit raya? up to how old of them to be receiving duit raya? As for myself and my family tradisi, as long as u r student (from kindergarden to uni level) u will definitely receive ur duit raya...in short, as long as u havent earning u will receive duit raya. Now, how much should be given...RM1,2,3,4 or RM5 or RM10. Nowadays kid so smart.smart and brave enuf to say ...kedekutlah auntie/unlce ni or kedekutlah kakak/abang ni. So, RM1 sure mcm tak sesuai je....that we think ..then flat rate RM5 lah..tak kisahlah besar ke kecik ke. but close relative..RM10...
BUT...due to that we become stress...tak cukup duit nak bagi duit raya,as a result , tak payah balik kampung lah. nanti nak bagi parents lagi, grandparents lagi dll....adik2...sepupu2..anak2 sedara.
SO, berilah duit raya mengikut kemampuan masing2. if tak mampu bagi byk, bagi je sikit. the most important IKHLAS..ni kan sedekah...Remember, tgn yg memberi lebih baik dari yg menerima..so berapa kita beri asalkan ikhlas...insyaallah..ada lah ganjaran nye nanti...tapi jgnlah mengharapkan balasan setiap kali kita bagi. ;-)

Santini restaurant

2007-09-22T06:36:00.000-07:00

I've tried Ramadhan buffet @ Santini restaurant yesterday. it was bad. As a food lover, i totally disapprove the ramadhan buffet. Ala carte, i'm not sure. perhaps its better than buffet. Mee goreng=bad, no taste. rojak sotong= bad,weird taste. tauhu sumbat, oklah. nasi goreng kg=bad. bubur gandum=sedap, rendang tok n lemang=not bad,there's lauk pauk lain which i havent try but my fren said ok.
But overall,NOT recommended for ramadan buffet. for ala carte, maybe ok.
however, do not hesitate to try out,different ppl got different taste...right.

terawih prayer

2007-09-22T05:26:00.000-07:00

Today is 10th day of ramadhan. This Holy months comes only once a year. The specialites of this month is terawih prayer. This prayer can be perform Only during Ramadhan. My first time performed this prayer when I was 16 years old. I was in boarding school that time. well, in boarding school, u shape ur self either to be in good shape or otherwise...its all up to you.
havent miss this prayer during school period except during 'women privillage'. enter college, still maintain the good job.
in university starts choosing which mosque to go to. usually due to how fast the Imam lead the prayer, the faster the better and also what they serve for morih(its a meal after performing terawih). started working, busy break fasting at hotel and restaurants, meet up old frens and as a result miss terawih. why is this happen?? well, its actually depends on ourselves. terawih period is after isyak to b4 subuh. so , even tho we miss to perform it at the mosque due some reason perhaps, we still can perform it at home. apparently, there's no reason for us to miss it.
Therefore, to all muslim who read my blogs, do grab all double triple rewards which only being offer throughout Ramadhan. This offer is much more better than the offer in most shopping mall.
Put it this way, shopping mall offer will be 3 times a year, but Ramadhan offer take place only once a year..so do think about it....ciao guys...;-)
( its a reminder for myself as well)

experience berpuasa di tmpt lain

2007-09-17T06:27:00.000-07:00

year 2005, i had short bussiness trip to Germany. tempat yg I pergi kampung kecil tapi best jugak..bulan puasa masa tu. tapi berbuka cepat cuma makanan masa berbuka tu lah...asyik kebab and fried mee. oklah...aunty at my hotel tu baik, she's the owner of the small hotel tu. every early morning, she wakes us up and prepare for sahur. she called it early breakfast. syok jugak. ptg2, lepas kerja, this lady give us roti2 yg dah keras untuk bagi itik2 makan. itik2 tu kat tasik belakang hotel...enjoy jugak masa tu.yelah, kat malaysia tak pernah bagi itik makan. ayam pun tak pernah bagi makan. makan ayam pernahlah. try to find the photo masa bagi makan itik tu, tak jumpa pulak.
year 2006 pulak, berpuasa di Terengganu. I ni berasal dari selatan malaysia so mmg tak pernah berpuasa di area pantai timur. ni pun pasal kerja lah jugak. nak di jadikan cerita, my housemate masa tu semua bangsa asing as in from Russia, indonesia, Oman and india. ada sorang dua je malaysian pun. they thought that i should know all this food. yalah konon2 malay food kan. we went to pasar ramadan everyday lepas kerja. makanan kat situ as for me memang pelik. so i siap tanya apa ingredient then kena translate to my frens. everyday jugak lah buat kerja part time translater ni. dah tanya tu , i pun belilah. lama2 hampir semua kuih pelik kat situ i've tried. ada yg ok, ada tu memang weird and byk yg too sweet. whats the name of the kuih,hmmmm... I dont remember..... ;-D
tahun 2007, back to KL. so puasa mcm biasa. I prefer to cook my own break fast meal.jimat and its definitely my taste...

2007-09-13T04:38:00.000-07:00

i went to pasar ramadan tmn tun. punyalah ramai manusia sampai tak nampak nak beli apa. dah lah I ni comel, terjengket2 nak tgk gerai2 ni jual apa. so, selesai 1 hari puasa. i ada kenangan bulan ramadan ni. that was 8 years back, during my time at uni. masa tu i tak puasa due to female privillage.....;-)..at the same time, my close fren also having the same privilage. we went out,jln2 KL....lepas tu haus sgt, we all pun beli air and minum. bukan tu je, we all siap makan lagi...ish ish ish...bila ingat2 balik...nothing to be proud off and we hope our kids will not do the same thing. but everytime we think of it, sure we laugh at ourself....tu zaman2 agak jahil lah jugak...sometimes, i was thinking, what makes us eat and drink dgn selambanya...to my lovely friend..u know who u are...it will be my forever ramadan memory.
