i have made a wish

2012-02-13T23:36:00.001+08:00

i have put several sky lanterns in this cny. it was my first time!

look! how happy were those kids!

is a very typical sky lantern as using calligraphy for the wishes. once upon a time, i was good in that. one of the wishes was written by me!

i wrote the ugliest words. =( it was like more than 10 years never write. and even writing in chinese is hard for me if using a normal pen. @@

however, i still can write with my right hand. =) both side of my brain are powerful :D

some picture grabbed from ellie.

i made many wishes when putting sky lanterns.

basically i just have a same wish in every lantern.

$$$

my dream will come true. HAHAHAHAHHA.

it is a love ghost

2012-02-07T15:05:00.001+08:00

two days ago a ghost hacked in to my facebook.

the ghost propose my love to the bf.

and the status got about 40 plus “likes” and some random to comments within 3 hours.

the bf got some friend of requests from my random friends. -.-

the close friends got a shock and think i am just like a mad girl. mad over the bf. (eww.. i don’t like)

the random friends think of, “wah pang lai hui can be like that??”

worst is, a pharmacist which i attached for and i used to be his regular customer go n comment the status. he is same age as my dad n he said, “in his entire life he not dare to be that open”.

fml

all these happened when i was away with friends to meet a fortune teller, to have dinner in chambers, have a visit to a temple nearby my house and to play sky lanterns (kong ming lantern). i guess i have to write a blog post on it!! to prove that i was away from my computer.

i knew this from the bf, he called me, which just back from a movie, after he get to know this status from his best friend. (his best friend directly text him and ask him why i (not me) posted such status). that time i was playing the lantern k.. the whole night i couldn’t access to internet, so i confirm not one use my phone to post any status.

at that point i just say must be my brother in the house! he might use my laptop or ipad to post! once i reached home he said he didn’t. well, logically, a 30 plus uncle won’t so wu liao. as he don’t know my laptop password as well, and the ipad still at the original place.

i checked my email, i set the security setting before, if i log in my fb with another computer or phone, i will get a mail notification. well i don’t have. so it means the status either from my laptop, ipad or phone, or somewhere else (other people laptop) which i log in before and forget to log out. but then, these few days, i didn’t do that. -.-

i believe.. it is a ghost. :D

or.. it is from the bees or butterflies of the bf.

the bees or butterflies hacked in my fb and propose to the bf.

ya, should be like that.

i love you, the ghost. u made me whole night couldn’t sleep!! haha.

this is the status that the ghost posted. i deleted it once i see the status, not really sure who had commented or liked. so ask the bf to send me again the notification.

haha, nice english huh!

i will have my way to show my love to the bf, if you love him, propose yourself la.. and i will declare war with you, don’t fight with me for the bf. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

best pizza. soul kitchen.

2012-02-02T15:18:00.001+08:00

i used to blog once upon a time, not because i like to write, is due to i took lot photos and the photos do the talking. as growing older, getting bored with taking photos. partly due to getting uglier, no matter how i camwhore, i just look like a shit. haha. just admit i’m old.

long time never blog, it’s time to update u guys!

happy dragon year everyone! it’s my 3rd dragon year! m 25 years old :O

every time i met those auntie uncles, they will ask “working already?” “you haven’t graduate?”. even the hairstylist in the salon will ask every time i visit them.. ish.. WHY AM I STILL STUDYING!?!!?!

yay! one more sem to go and i will say hi to the working life. i just knew, being a pharmacist is as shit as being a pharmacy student. fml.

soon i will attend the interview. and it’s time for me to fill in which state i wish to get for the posting. hehe, no body dare to ask me, even my family members, my bf.. haha. well, i never make up the decision yet. many things have to be considered. btw, it’s out of my control, as normally um students will kena buang. T_T

this is the longest cny holidays i have! and i know, next year i might have just two days holidays. :s

went penang few days ago and get to try the best pizza. in soul kitchen.

i don’t know where’s the exact location. somewhere in penang. haha. the building is like those heritage building, very antique look, about the same as you can see in malacca.

it’s a very unique place to dine in in penang as it doesn’t serve u traditional local penang food. it serves authentic italian food.

the shop is operated by a couple, one is local another one is from germany. haha. it’s a small family business, the couple serves the food with their passion, they open the shop as they like (this is why i only get to try it after the 3rd visit). such a relax life, jealous die.

a simple shop with few tables inside and outside.

normally pizza in round shaped. soul kitchen serves you oval pizza. <3

we wanted to try two pizza and they offered us with one pizza in two tastes. half of it is the baked pizza parma ham, topped with turkey ham, basil, parmesan and rocket. another one is cheese baked with pear, very special. i prefer the parma ham. :D it is a super thin crust pizza, love it very much!

salmon spaghetti. they serve either spaghetti or penne. i like its creamy and cheesy, however it a bit too sour for me, they put lemon juice for appetizing so you would not get bored of its creamy.

this is the epic. tiramisu. the fatty always say it is the best tiramisu in his entire life. haha. a small slice of tiramisu with heavy alcohol taste. *thumbs up*

they gave us this post card after billing. special.

with the discount if you go the next time.

i like their style. very much.

and lastly present you the beauty and the fatty. he is so not photogenic. haha. i miss the fatty so much.

p/s: i dropped off my 1st class. T.T

Very end of the year

2011-12-27T18:31:00.001+08:00

Few more days to 2012. How's your 2011? I guess mine was.. Not as fun as the previous years, less traveling, less lepak-ing.. However the life is more enrich and meaningful I would say..

Well, it suppose to be holidays right now but i stuck with this idiot study week. Arghh I am so reluctant to study!

Merry Xmas and happy new year everyone! Hope you have a great one eventhough I don't have mine! Haha

2011-11-12T22:48:00.001+08:00

Don’t ever over think.

Don’t ever complicate things.

and never expect the outcome.

Just let it be.

I believe everything is fated.

Do a lot thinking tends to kill people.

and I can’t stop myself to stop thinking all the time.

i tend to think a lot when making a choice. weighs all the pros and cons.

i want to mould my life myself, never regret in life.

sometimes will easily get upset when things can’t turn out as what i expected.

however sometimes when i think back, i will be thankful that i was fated to get the unwanted choice.

no matter what and how, there will be a path for me to grow up and learn.

just learn how to let it go, and perform the best for the current.

i am not sentimental..

i just want to improve myself to a better laihui. =)

arghh.. reading journals is really killing me.

don’t be a stranger

2011-11-10T11:00:00.001+08:00

this video was quite some times ago, and i watched it again today.

this is a pretty good video, reflecting the stages in a relationship in current trend. i found it so true, and which stage are you in now?

life goes on as usual, time flies just like a blink of eye, everything is constantly changing.

when i’m watching the video, everything seems so likely to happen in a relationship.. from the meeting, proceed to chase and honeymoon, then progress to comfortable and tolerate stages, and then relationship goes down hill and eventually end up with breaking up.

is it every relationship turns out like this way?

when you think of your parents, and those elderly who still hold each other hand in the shopping mall, are they amazing? they can be together for such a long time. and how can they maintain the relationship?

and sometimes i think, love a person shall be not something forever, sometimes, when you love someone too much or too long, and end up it is a responsibility for you to love him/her. sparkling of love is no longer there, and it just turn out another chapter for you, building up a family and work hard, struggling to earn money.. bla bla bla.

i’m always thankful that life does go on. i am anticipating the challenges of changing from one stage to one stage, no matter in a relationship or my future undertakings..

message i am going to bring out is… make a difference. i don’t want mine just same as the others, follows the typical trend…

never take it for granted, sometime a “sorry” “how are you” “everything will be ok” “thank you” will make things different. i rarely express myself, haha, as i am a typical asian. when you get mad, you just have to calm down, and think at his/her side.. everything happens for a reason. a hug, a kiss might be important to care and give support to someone.

well, i shall kick my ass back to my work now. =)

Happy Halloween

2011-10-31T08:45:00.001+08:00

a memorable day in his chapter. which also indicates the beginning of another whole new chapter in his life.

definitely, i know he can do the best in his future undertakings. =) with my supports.

a tiring journey for me heading to the north just to share the happiness with him.

spent the 5-hour journey to reach there and the sky already get dark. 11pm and i was still in formal wear which i wore for clerkship. =.=

the next day while the sky haven’t turn bright and i already on the way to his uni. spent hours in his ceremony and few hours photography session after the ceremony. after having late lunch and i had to head to airport to catch the flight back kl.

is tiring. love always outweigh that. i was happy that i can spend the happiness moment with him.

was looking extremely good on the day. although the hair a bit long. and also the special bouquet.

it is the main focus of the day. his friends are creative enough and special design this for him on the previous night. i spent the time with his friends to buy all these vege.

well, everyone love it, and it outshine him on the day. =)

the creative friends =) the true brothers for him.

and all are huge as bear. i like this as i look so petite. i never been so mini. lol

congrats dear.

may you always shine for the rest of your life.

-love your smile-

buddies

2011-10-12T12:27:00.001+08:00

um has a very unique system, between juniors and seniors. if u r from local uni, u might know the buddy line system.

at first i thought it is just a name, just a senior which u can directly seek for help if u r in trouble.

well, if you ask me now, i would say, buddy line means everything for me throughout this 3 years. if you know me well, u might know my each and every buddy. all of them are awesome!

i still keep in touch with sim, my final year buddy when i was in 1st year. he is a helpful person, whenever you have difficulties, he is the one who will give you lots of advices.

jolin, rarely contact with her, however i know her everything in fb. a celebrity for me, in fact she has a celebrity bf. a super big leng lui. =)

and she is getting married soon! =)

eunice, covered most of my post in this blog. my most important person in my uni life. my direct buddy, she was the one who picked me enter this family. she is the main person who mould my life in uni. my idol, she is good and capable in everything. admire her, seriously.

chang yi, the one who directly under me. i picked him. he is 24 hour in blur state. he always brings us joys during gathering. somehow, his blur-ness makes everyone love him.

wei ling, the most headache buddy to me. haha. she is super cute. always create surprises which make me headache. always comes out with different ideas to surprise you and make you happy. a very special person for me, love her more and more. superficially very “man” to me, but actually she is soft like cotton if you know her more.. same as eunice, that’s why they are together.

yong qi, someone look alike with wei ling, in term of their mouths’ shape, their talking style.. she just entered the family, will have another year to know her more. i guess she is happy as we picked her in! lol.

the new member. looking forward the chemistry with her.

a little bit look alike

btw, congrats eunice!

all the best to your future undertakings. we will definitely miss you!

superb buddies i have. =) i’m just too lucky to have you all. <3

-final year-

wip

2011-10-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

once a Work In Progress now Whipped Into Place!

wip located at bangsar shopping centre. 1st time went the place, not really sure where’s it located. i trapped in jam at the traffic light junction, and i made a u-turn instead of turning right. and i have to jam another 30minutes at the junction. fml.

we were late. we made the reservation at 730pm and they cancelled the reservation. so once we reached, have to wait awhile for the seat. it was so crowded in wip. the rest of the girls were late, later than us. girls are always late. =.=

the ambience is good. outside a bit like tropic garden feel.

there is a white bar in the middle. special design.

interior is like this. it was saturday, it was so so so CROWDED!

my detox juice. strawberry and apple slush. it is not effective at all! i didn’t have any bowel evacuation the next day. HAHA

drink is nicely decorated.

xinli and i had this. japanese pizza called sake san. salmon lettuce mayo and wasabi on a thin crust. =)

closer look on the pizza.

chicken caesar salad for those on diet

jess’s chicken+yam. forget what it called.

everyone look boring. included me who snapping around with my camera.

the food was good. but they are pricey for me. :s

it was her birthday celebration.

he is 3 years old. and i am 20 years older.

and i just as young as him. 3 candles on the cake. =)

a family dinner to celebrate ziyi’s and my birthday, and also the new born full moon.

bye holidays. i will definitely miss the holidays.

pps:

my solar moving flower is still that cute after so many years.

a day to reflect…

2011-09-09T00:56:00.001+08:00

today marks the end of a one year journey..

and there will be the beginning of many more years. =)

we will like the gonggong popo as in the picture. lol

9th September 2010 was the day that i said yes.

well, the story was vague for me us. since it’s a nice day, a day easy to remember, and always can celebrate together with my birthday.. so it is the day i kissed him and said yes to him.

all these began on 23rd May 2010.

the day i knew him without knowing each other name.

just because we were destined to meet each other in nogaps.

this event which made me knew more about him. because our legs are longer and we were on the same speed, in fact i was faster. so we had the chance to talk. =)

and this was our first two-person photo. i hate this, i looked horrible. i felt awkward that everyone around us were teasing both of us. well, i think they sensed the sparkling between both of us. wtf.

and so.. we gave each other a chance to know each other better. everything turned out really good.

till he managed to have few visits to kl until we start.

and we hand in hand for one year.. and counting..

1st date in penang. omg, we were so slim. T.T both of us gained so much weight after being together.

well, it is the sign of happiness. it’s time to wake up and need on diet to slim down.

roses with love.

sparkling love. lol.

i am always thankful. when i think back, i found everything was so fake. all these are just like dream. i knew him in such random way, and we can actually make it. i thought it will not work, but actually it is working.

i am thankful. i met the treasure. <3

1st handmade v-day card for him. i posted to his doorstep.

distance actually made us appreciate each other more. people will think long distance couldn’t work, couldn’t maintain the relationship. and we managed to do it.

i was grateful, he is such an understanding guy which make everything so smooth in our journey. he made me believe that everything can turn out really good. =)

he is my biggest gift. just like money is dropped from the sky. lol.

i like the way we interact.

our activity is only eat.

that’s why, we nearly in obesity range.

i know he worked hard, for this relationship. and so i am. my love to him will never get lesser and it is increasing.

just sometimes i like to bully him.

he is such a romantic guy, i think. o.O ya, better than me. haha

from what he did to me so far, ya, he is romantic. =) i like the endless surprises from him (many times he failed). wahaha

just want to say

Happy 1st Anniversary! <3

and we will have many many many more to come!

i LOVE you dear!

guten tag!

2011-09-08T21:20:00.000+08:00

guten tag! tag!

germany language.

a way to say hello.

to bring out…

brotzeit german bier bar & restaurant

german restaurant normally famous with beer and pork. so these are their beer.

german beer is well known nice to drink.. this is what they told me, however, i couldn’t differentiate. just had a few sips.. hm.. like that lor.

this is the must when u go german resturant.

pork knuckle which is super huge portion. rm85. for me it is same as the pork knuckle in chinese restaurant. T.T i think i shouldn’t dig deeper in my purse for food, everything make no difference to me.

what to do, we are spoilt for choices when come to food.

best of brotzeit coldcuts platter

layers of different part of pork, with cheese, onion and tomato and german breads. well, i dislike their bread, subway one is better.

i am more to cheap food. :s

sausage platter with different kinds of sausages rm75 :s. i like the cheese one.

if you are a pork lover, you can try it out. even i’m not a pork lover, i went. many other food blogs recommended this restaurant. so i think it is a well known nice restaurant.

cy’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

macadamia mousse cake from lavender is GOOD!

look like the aunt (bside yc) at the side is joining us.

his HOT girl friend. <3 lucky yap!

memories in kundasang

2011-09-01T14:25:00.001+08:00

we spent the last two days in kundasang.

a beautiful place, the weather is chill! =)

we started our day with awesome polo bun!

omg, the nicest polo bun i ever have!

the best part is this

pineapple filling! omg. yum max <3 <3 the bun is soft and covered with crunchy butter on top, and with yummy pineapple filling. <3 eww miss it so much

after that, tour guide picked us from our cabin and we headed to kundasang

stopped at kundasang market

nice place to shop.

where you also can view the mount kinabalu

next, dropped us at another spot, where you can snap photo wth mount kinabalu behind

zoom in. the peak of mount kinabalu is second peak from the left. the smallest one.

did you ever realise that the back of RM1 note is actually mount kinabalu?

lunch. grilled chicken wings. there are only malay food there, i shall have my steamboat business over there.. will have it in future. weather just nice to make steamboat business success. trust me!

next, desa dairy farm

nice place. like the white fence. new zealand feel horr

moooo.. moooooooooo..

awesome scenery. super like the weather. just like cameron highlands

two naughty climb in the cow area and pretend moo moo

another must go place in kundasang. poring recreation park

had poring canopy walk

just like hiking. hike all the way up to the hill.

just for this

few suspension bridges you need to go through. high tensile cables hang the bridges tree to tree at high level, very high if you dare to look down

poring canopy walkway

poring hot spring

after tiring canopy walk, you can actually relax your legs by soaking your legs in the hot spring water

it is actually not relax at all. the water is like about 70 degree celcius which is real hot to your skin. you have to be calm enough when you soak your legs inside, not to move your legs, and let them adapt the temperature of the water

spring water is well known good to your skin because it is rich with minerals. well, what do you think about this?

and i have this super not-laihui-look. wtf. act cute look! ewwwwww. salah max

strawberry garden hotel. the place we stayed in kundasang

colourful bed sheets make you cheerful. =) *shinning legs :O *

clean place. beautiful place. and cheap. =)

and one thing i must mention, you can enjoy the night by looking at the sky! omg it is so NICE! the sky covered by stars! shining, shimmering, splendid..

and there is a strawberry garden in the hotel area

tiny strawberry. =)

last day in sabah

kinabalu park

heavily rain there.

and it is super cold. =( i got no long pants.

it is the starting point to climb up mount kinabalu. instructions are given at this place. people were so energetic for the challenge, and we just kepoh beside

on the way back to kk

we had this. sinalau bakas

which is grilled pork by kadazan-dusun ethnic. this is scary o.O

i forget the price. i think is RM15 for 1kg (not so sure)

and we just wanted to have a try on it. we required for RM5. grill the pork this way before we consume

RM5 for this much. it is too much for us actually. but quite tasty, although i am not a pork lover. for pork lover, you will definitely LOVE it

tamparuli suspension bridge

located in a small town called tamparuli. the bridge supposed is temporarily one, and called temporary bridge. the local pronounced temporary as tamparuli, and so the town called tamparuli. lol.

last stop before heading to airport. UMS. for qliang to meet her friend

beautiful university

i was thinking. it is so good for couples in UMS. romantic and relaxing place for you to paktor when u are stress on studies. hahahahahahhahaa.

end of my 6-day sabah trip

bye bye sabah

water rafting

2011-08-31T22:19:00.001+08:00

it’s my second time.

still,it’s AWESOME!

photos do the talking. here we go..

off to padas before the sky turn bright which is around 5 something. well, we went to the rafting spot by this train. classic one!

inside the train. it is actually my 1st time ride a REAL TRAIN!

everyone squeeze in one cabin. it is just like a refugee side. o.O

here is the place. out of the city. away from the noise. <3 nature.

the water is real rapid! everything looks so dangerous

i am missing

my trademark expression!

team work! haha, so happy! so fun!

ready for challenge

and we survive! =)

my team! 8 of us plus two look-weak-and-skinny-but-they-are-strong-instructors!

16 of us plus instructors!

the water rafting package, we get it for only RM120 per pax. which include 10km rafting, all the equipment, to and fro transport (bus from kk to train station, then train to water rafting spot), breakfast, lunch and light refreshment which is watermelon. lol.

so cheap!

the last time in bali was 50USD which only include rafting, equipment and lunch. but then the view is nicer over there! hehe..

we met friends in the train too (USM pharmacy students). *the world is really small* they were going for water rafting but under the different company. guess what, their package is RM200++ LOL!

we were so happy. get the cheap stuff!

it took us whole day! by the time reach kk already is night time.

dinner here. we ate west malaysia food while we were in east malaysia. =.=

but this is the famous one. it is just located right below of our cabin. after a long tiring day, we just don’t want to walk far and just have dinner at downstair

vege vege vege!

today i just had bak kut teh in klang. eww.. the pork so fat! but the dry bak kut teh is awesome!

this is nice. the glutinous rice is special

end of day 4.

awesome water rafting!

p/s: i didn’t jog for many days already! T.T very fat!!!!!!!

parasailing

2011-08-29T14:11:00.001+08:00

day 3 is island day.

speed boat. blue sky and sea <3

phobia with it actually. i was on too much of speedboat during the trip in perhentian few years ago, and eventually, got too much of air in stomach as the boat was too shaky, end up i had a vomiting trip.

so get the lesson, never open my mouth on the speedboat.

away kk town and headed to islands.

we managed to deal the price for rm40 plus for the speedboat to three islands, and also equipment for snorkelling. cheapest ever deal as for normal student price is at least rm60. =) however, cheap thing never get good thing, the life jacket they provided were BAD quality, you will never believe that it can actually help u float.. so, nothing can be complained what.. you chose the cheapest rubbish. =)

1st island, manutik.

beautiful island.

tell me, which island is not beautiful?

crystal clear sea water <3

and it’s super freaking hot under the sun! :(

we snorkelled there. i thought it’s like what we had in lang tengah/perhentian/redang where the speedboat will bring you to certain nice spot and let u jump down n snorkel.

in this case, u just go to the sea side and snorkel. seriously, there is NOTHING. ya, there are fish, but not more than 5 types, there are coral, but all are dead.

and some of us, decided to go for parasailing. RM70 per pax for 10 minutes.

we were brought to somewhere in the middle of the sea for that..

instructor was setting up all the equipment

equipped with safety belt

so excited! ready to go!!!

qliang was my partner!

great experience i wound say. =) looking the blue sea n sky at the top..

and sometimes dropped you into the sky

2nd island, manukan island. basically all the islands look same.

i went there, and just snorkelled for 5 minutes. i saw nothing =.=

i officially hate snorkelling! lol. nothing fun for me anymore.

well, the next time i go islands/beaches, i shall enjoy lying on the beach, soak my feet in the sea, snap nice photo… and wear bikini? i wish i can.. but then my tummy now T.T i don’t think i can have flat tummy anymore T.T in fact i never have it before T.T WHY SO UNFAIR!

i had this yummy pau there. we actually bought all the food before we headed to islands. the food on the islands are sucks and expensive (from what others told us).

btw, the 3 islands are closed after 5pm. no people are allowed to stay on these islands at night. don’t know why..

next. sapi island

we just stopped there for less than half an hour. went there and walk walk. ewww..

hot sun and salty sea water are actually dangerous. pus grew on my nevus sebaceous straight after i back from the islands. o.O

after cleaned up, planned to have a nap before going out again. just about to close my eyes, i heard some noise from the road.. looked out from the window, there was some cultural festival event on the road.

all of us rush down. have a look.

cultural dances from different countries on the road. so happening!

from taiwan! energetic taiwanese dancers!

interior

head of the wonder girls. lol. qliang

li and li and li. there is “li” in our name, same pronunciation but different words.

i don’t know how to link them together. ky ch and fw

my special order hot honey lemon. i just don’t like the bitter taste of the lemon skin in hot honey, so i request them separate the lemon for me, i squeeze the lemon juice out myself. and i want extra honey as i have little sore throat. and they presented me this… nice service!

so here is our food. the portions are huge. and the price range just about rm10++.

fish and chips

fish and chips burger. this one just costs about rm8++. haha, the ingredients same as the above (+bread) but cheaper.

creamy carbonara

chicken chop

grilled salmon

have a night walk around kk town.

by the sea. view is nice, but it is super smelly there!

after shopping in suria. few of us went supper (just have some drinks lar)

herbal tea

with cute cover. omg

refreshing lemon and lime juice

this one is the special one. cincau (grass jelly) with milk (not soya milk) and gula melaka (the bottom layer). just like the three layer tea we have here? ahaha. but then it is not bad, just a little bit too sweet

and we tapao half boiled egg for chui hua! LOL.

u just imagine.. how to tapao half boiled egg? and how she eat?

p/s: have serious sore throat these day. very moody lar! =(

day 2 journey

2011-08-19T10:16:00.001+08:00

here the post on the journey back to ~~jesselton~~ kota kinabalu from kudat

this is the view of kudat early in the morning..

seaside just opposite our cheaplak motel. wonderful morning with beautiful sky and sea. <3 the blue.

and guess what, photos always lie to people. the photos above look so nice and clean. but it actually looks like this..

all around full with rubbish.. just like the night before having tornado.. eww.. the attitude of malaysian who like to make the place dirty! T.T shame of us!

tour guide picked up from our motel and we started to have our tour from kudat to kk.

dropped by a high-end resort..

this one is the clean one.. as pretty as a picture!

swimming pool beside the sea view

kiddos playing in the playground

next…

a significant tourist spot in kudat

rungus long house

another view of the long house

interior of the long house

everything is made by bamboo including the floor i stepped on

the wall well decorated with their traditional art and crafts, or some basic daily equipment

some crafts that hand made by those locals

the wonder girls. wtf

the one sat in the middle was our tour guide. older than us nearly 10 years but she just look so young.. and she is too petite!

gonna climb up to a little summer house

everyone of us at the top. we are pretty light where our total weight couldn’t make the fragile house fall down.

next stop, gombizau kampung madu, a bee farm

bee hive with bees and honey

they actually spray some chemical to the bees which can make them “dizzy”, so that they will not sting you.

inside a bee box, there are a number of bee hives

the honey just as sweet as me! =) i am just like the bee, producing sweet honey to my loves one, and sting my enemies! wtf. trying to make some jokes lol

this is the hive that full with honey, when the little hole is sealed, which mean there is honey inside.

a photo with the hive. is that hive looks that the hive i normally have on my skin?

we had the chance to witness the local making “gong”, a traditional musical instrument of sabahan.

with the Gongs. my friend said, they look like boobs with nipples. rofl. but seriously, they do look like.

we stopped at a little town called tuaran for tuaran mee for lunch.

tuaran mee. not so bad. the mee texture is nice, and fried with egg, pork and vege.

after that back to kk. before reach kk town, tour guide brought us to a road side stall for this awesome stuff!

coconut pudding in coconut.

yum max! =)

there are many stalls on that road which sell the same things.

and tour guide brought us to this one, which also recommended by Axian. lol. she said she chose this stall before Axian go there. lol.

this is called logam. don’t know what is that and fear of getting diarrhea after trying that.

and kelapa bakar (burned coconut)

the coconuts burn like this for hours, until the coconut juice inside get boiling. they say the coconut drink after burned is good for health, which have some treatment effect to kidney. we tapao one, we consumed that at night, and the drink was still warm! the taste same as coconut milk (santan).

well, i shall have this coconut pudding and burned coconut business in kl. youngster fancy desserts what… that’s my business, after i graduate!

after that, we went kk town and meet the other gang of my coursemates! ya, 16 of us were in sabah during that time, only one guy and the rest are girls. and tour guide let 16 of us squeeze in her van! :O

and we went sutera harbour for another sunset! =) our tour guide knew we were upset about the drama in tip of borneo, so she brought us here for another sun set view! this tour guide suppose to end her job once we reached kk, but then she just continue fetching us around for the whole day. how nice is she! <3

sutera harbour

nice place, just like the harbour front in singapore or strait quay in penang.. i wonder who own all these… so damn rich! and i knew i will own one soon.. =)

this is the one i will own next time.. my name will be painted on it. so you can easily recognise mine =)

15 of us, another one and also the only guy was the photographer of this photo

mesmerising sunset scenery <3 <3 <3

once the sun is set.. the sky colour is still nice. from yellowish to orange color.

slowly turn to pinkish purple.

and then dark purple before the sky turn dark

..dinner time

a photo with our lovely and dedicated tour guide and also her van behind before she left.

a famous seafood restaurant in kk, “everybody come” (da jia lai)

variety of fresh seafood available where you can choose yourself

salted egg crab with curry leaves. the crab is really cheap, only RM18 per kg. we regret why not just have crab dinner?

pork rib with yum gravy… i forget what’s the name of that gravy.. something with butter one.. yum max!

their significant tau foo. fried tau foo with mayo.

a meal without vege is incomplete.. vege is a must for me. this one is paku pakis. i found that many people never try this before. i used to have it since i was young, parents always brought me to lukut for seafood, then will order this paku vege. i like the texture. =)

lala. ewww, this one RM22, more expensive than the crab. and guess what, this dish is served with lala’s shell, everyone just have at least 2 lala meat only, the rest all are shells. =.=

after dinner, have a walked around kk town. and headed to philippino market

philippino market, where sell fruits, vegetables, and some food. just like ordinary night market lor

and also variety of seafood

we had one ikan bakar.

and this super yum juice!

it’s avocado.

awesome avocado juice! <3

day 2 end.

p/s: having pretty healthy lifestyle now, i sleep before 12am every night, and wake up at 7am for jogging. day time learning baking, watch 3 kingdoms series, trim grass in the evening… wao.. i love the current life now! <3

Tip of borneo

2011-08-18T11:06:00.001+08:00

warmest welcome from our tour guide once we stepped the land of borneo. =)

she’s just amazing.. great tour guide! thumbs up for her profession! we were just lucky to meet her.

headed to Sunday Gaya Street Market on gaya street, a street that full of backpacker motels.

before that, we had our brunch at a local famous kopitiam.

yee fung kopitiam, flooded with people

and we had this, yee fung laksa, i suppose this is sarawak laksa.

and their famous ice lemon kitchai.

this is sunday gaya street market.. super sunny, the day in sabah is one hour earlier than here.. the day starts to get bright at 6am..

have all sorts of sabah traditional art and craft here..

tour guide dropped us at tun mustapha tower before heading to kudat. the tower is a significant building in kk.

almost 3 hours journey to kudat…

on the way, i had this, refreshing COCONUT!

and this, jagung bakar..

salted one

and sweet one. not so nice.. the jagung bakar in jimbaran bay in bali still the best so far! ohh i miss it!

and some fruits that i never see before, no idea on that durian-like or soursop-like fruits

and red banana! wish to try but tour guide said it is not nice.

and this some fried ubi crackers.. this is nice, and i bought some home n mom just threw everything away.. haha

pirated gardenia? a friend of mine from east malaysia said that gardenia bread that we can get in west malaysia couldn’t get in sabah or sarawak.. is that true? if i get posting in east malaysia, how can i survive?

finally we’re in kudat! a beautiful beach!

photos seem so nice, it is real nice, but it is super duper sunny and hot!

group photos of us. guess who the photographer?

cute tripod and camera on the beach! this is our useful photographer! :D

headed to tip of borneo! this is the beach view from the top

super excited! we spent 3-hour journey to kudat just for the famous tip of borneo.. excited excited! and it will be my 1st time to view sunset at the beach :O paise..

and here, where our dramatic story begins..

coincidently, there was a musical festival near that place… i would say NEAR but not at the place (tip of borneo) where you can sit down and view the sunset..

and because of that festival, they blocked the WHOLE area, blocked the main entrance towards tip of borneo. well, u can enter, if only you pay the entrance fee for the stupid musical festival, RM30. =.= if we don’t pay, we just cannot enter and couldn’t reach the tip of borneo (which is really the tip).. in another words, our 3-hour journey or 6-hour journey (to and fro) is basically just waste of time and money.

well, we weren’t really satisfied. seriously already behsong-ed as it is a public area where you can just enter free. they have no right to block the entrance.. they can just block the place where the musical festival but not the whole park! and so, our powerful woman lin hui li willing to voice up for all of us, and she requested the person-in-charge there for some permit that block the place.. LOL. and having some argument and they behsong-ed as well and let us just go in for the sunset for 15 to 30 minutes. and of course, they put a guard followed our back to make sure we leave the place after the time and not to enter their musical festival. well, nvm, we don’t care. we just want to see the view only, not really care what musical show they have.

here’s the tip of borneo.. not really reach the tip yet.. and already have the mesmerising view!

me and qliang decided to climb down and reach the tip for viewing the significant well known sunset of tip of borneo

the rocks, where you can climb down, very special and beautiful

the shape is moulded after hitting by the wave years and years

woohoooo! here is the tip!!

the sun is going down… very very soon! damn nice!

qliang and me. sitting down and view the sunset. the rest were at the top.

after awhile, the rest at the top shouted us to go back.. few person-in-charge were forcing them to leave the place @@. celaka betul! those fella already had some arguments with them.. argue on why not just let us sit there for 10 more mins (we totally didn’t disturb their event lorrr) as we still haven’t exceed the 30 minutes that they gave us. and they say they only allowed us go in for 15 minutes! WTF!

well, and me n qliang climbed up slowly…

the sun haven’t set yet.. and we forced to leave the place. T.T they obviously behsong us and just make sure we can’t view the sunset moment…

i climbed up, and stood there for one more picture. and they still forced me to leave! i super duper beh song.. and i requested again for 5 more minutes.. they disallowed. and so hit my threshold and i scolded them (which seems like shouted on them). and i straight away call them to give me the permit where they blocked the place. *never hit my threshold, orelse i will not let you go easily LOL*

this is the place we came out from the tip. and their musical event was at so damn far away from the place. can u see that? the white color canopy there..

i zoomed in.

and they blocked the whole pathway towards the tip of borneo. unreasonable right!!!!!!!!!!!! this pathway is a public place which u and me can walk on it for FOC! and they want us to pay RM30! and force us to leave the place!

eww.. they ruined my memory of tip of borneo.. fuck you!

ewww.. gek sei!

………….

dinner at a local restaurant

just beside the jetty

had seafood there. seafood in sabah are well known for cheap price. so just go for it..

the price is a bit cheaper lar.. but i don’t really buy the taste. lol. i found the seafood in west malaysia are nicer.

sweet and sour crab. a bit tasteless for me.. the source is not as thick as our sweet and sour crab in west msia

shu4 zai3 cai4 or shu4 zi3 cai4 (little tree vege) that normally we use this vege for pan mee. i like it.

this is the nicest. butter mantis prawn with curry leaves.

mix vegetables soup. weird taste. haha

to be honest, it is just like normal theme park, but then each and every park there will be a theme, all the buildings are nicely designed, just like you’re in fairy tale world… i love the architecture inside.. very nice, very fairy tale-ish. but then it is super hot and sunny @@.. we both sweat like hell especially the fatty. luckily we went on weekdays, which not so crowded, the longest queue is about half an hour, and others just nice, 5 or 10 mins =). the battlestar galaactica cylon (blue track) and human (red track) [the most scary roller costers], we actually no need to queue.. no people one.. lol.
