Day 2 : Maesa Elephant Camp

2007-08-04T00:59:00.000+08:00

Go to the Orchid and Butterfly Farm and now we are going to Maesa's Elephant Camp. It's about half an hour ride from town.

When we arrived there, we were greeted by this 2 jumbo dumbo. You know, the elephant hair very thick, like needle like that.

Don't really know about the entrance fee, travel agent arranged everything for us already. So we just step in and PLAY.

You can see their King portrait at the entrance there.

Then I bought, bananas and sugar cane for 20baht to feed to elephant.

They so enjoy, can get free food from us.

It's nose touch me, ew, got mucus/saliva, don't what is it. HAHAHA.

After feeding, we went to the riverside to see the elephant bath. I can't get to take the photos of the elephant shitting, you will be surprise as it's faeces, shit pop up from it's ass like cannon ball. Worker there actually collect their shit to make papers.

Then we go to the show area to watch the elephant show. I last time saw before elephant show at A' Famosa, it's different, this one is more real.

I'll show you one part of the show where the elephant do free kick like David Beckham. LOL

Why don't want show you all? It will be spoiler if you are going to Chiang Mai. Don't want to spoil you. Hehe. Roughly tell you about the show, they blow, they massage, they kick, the draw, they throw.

They can draw very pro, more pro then me. Hehe.

The bad thing is, jumbos needs the worker to help them change the brush color.

For sales, don't know how much.

Then we went to sit the elephant. You know how much is it? 800baht for a elephant. One elephant can sit 2 person, my dad and mom 1 elephant then me myself one elephant. I am KING. Haha. A bit expensive, cause dad paid 800baht for 1 person. But don't care la, experience ma.

About half an hour for the elephant ride. Going up and down the little hill. Feeling was like, shaky. Mom always shout "Slow, slow, slow", when going down steep little hill. But then I think the person don't know what mama was talking about. Haha.

That's what we did there.

And then, we went to those useless, boring souvenirs shops, silverware, handicraft, honey, silk, bird nest, blabla. I hate it, if you go with tour sure will go this place. So I think go backpack with some friends will be fun, self tour.

There's actually more fun things to play near the elephant camp, just that it's not included in our tour. Got bungee jumping, paintball, gun shooting, snake farm, monkey school. =]

Hop On To Rapid Penang

2007-08-02T23:38:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I went to sit the new bus in town - the Rapid Penang. I was very excited because my hometown get upgrades on the public transport.

Everytime I go Singapore, I see their public transport so good, I jealous. Then my own hometown public transport is like kanasai shit.

Now got new buses, all air-conditioned bus, and covered many route that the old bus company don't.

The Rapid Penang launched 2 days ago and were free of charge for today, yesterday, and on the launch day. This 3 days, the other bus company sure curse Rapid Penang (Who call you don't upgrade your service to fight Rapid Penang?)

Because of FOC, I take a ride home from my tuition place, near near only. Try for fun lo, since it's new.

They claim that their driver will be friendly, indeed they are friendly. :) I hopped on one bus, then ask the bus driver got go to my place or not, he smile to me and ask me to take the other bus which got pass my place, he didn't say : You want sit or not? Don't want please get off.

I waited like 5-10 minutes, the bus is here.

They have a board showing where will the bus go. Many people still confuse about the route, I know a little, but not all as I had study the map. Not sure about the fare, but I think is RM1-1.50. When I am wearing school uniform will be half price.

No steps when getting in the bus. It's flat. Nice! But the the seats are little. In front is more on standing while seats is at the back of the bus and it get higher and higher as there have 3 set of steps.

Bus is sweet with the cool air-condition, last time I take bus home no air-con one. This one have, and no tinted window and curtains, this make the bus look brighter and prettier while Transit Link do have and it makes it look dirty inside.

There is digital clock inside the bus so people who don't have watch like me can get to know the time.

3 seats are reserved for elders and disabled. But sometimes I think nobody cares, they will just sit or else, everyone standing, while 3 empty seats there.

The bell is not "beep" sound but is "Bing Bong". =D

This is the old bus that last time I took home. That day, I can see the bus was empty as who want to pay since there is free ride in air-conditioned bus. Haha.

I want :

Cheaper bus fare. We as student must always get discount and not just when wearing school uniform. Like we can have a special student cards.
I want touch and go system like the Singapore, no need to dig for coin and notes, just scan and then when alight scan again, the machine will know how far you have traveled and charge according it.
A bus stop/stand that looks cleaner. A lot of bus stand/stop here look ugly, dirty and have been vandalised.
You stupid people stop vandalize the bus and keep it clean.
You old bus company upgrade and fight with Rapid Penang.

Day 2 : Chiang Mai Butterfly and Orchid Farm

2007-08-02T15:28:00.000+08:00

Woke up I don't know what time in the morning, I think it's 7.30am, then went for breakfast at the hotel there. Dad went to make some changes, changed our room from a normal room to a deluxe room. That's better a lot.

Our main destination is Maesa Elephant Camp, but we stopped by the Butterfly and Orchid Farm to check it out. I do not recommend this place, unless you loves flower a lot. The butterfly aren't pretty, all same kind one, only 1 design. Haha, and it's so so smaller than our Butterfly farm here in Penang or KL.

When we first step in, some thai lady there will come and pin this on your shirt as souvinier. LOL, I threw it away after that, feel uncomfortable pining on my shirt.

This is me camwhoring at the Butterfly and Orchid Farm.

Nothing much to show about because there nothing one besides flowers and same kind butterfly. Coming up : Maesa Elephant Camp

Day 1 : Night Bazaar

2007-07-31T23:16:00.000+08:00

We arrived at Chiang Mai around 7pm. We were actually plan to visit Doi Suthep Temple on the first day, but too late already. So the tour company's van drive us to the hotel.

We stayed at Suriwongse Hotel, a hotel that locate in the middle of a tourist spot - the Night Bazaar. We see a lot of people there, tourist especially, ang mo a lot. Great we were staying at that hotel, but the room sucks, never mind, we changed to a better room the next day.

After dinner, we walk down the street for shopping at the Night Bazaar or better known by us Pasar Malam/Night Market. I see those Chiang Mai people, wearing traditionals cloth (some) and carrying their baby on their bags, surprisingly their baby so guai, doesn't scream and cry for milk, haha. People like my mom pity them sometimes will just buy some stuff from them.

See she look so happy when we bought something from her. My mom bought the silver bracelets for 100baht.

We walk down the street, a lot of stores there selling imitation shirts, shoes, shorts, believe to be handmade products, souvenirs, pirated cd/dvds and many many more things.

There sell a lot of this lamps. I also don't know why, maybe the material there is cheap. Some looks nice.

Hmm, there is like our Batu Ferringhi where you can find a lot of cheap DVDs and CDs. No point for me to get it there as I can always get it here. Good for ang mos.

This is kinda cute, there is actually teddy bear in it. As decoration purpose, will look nice if put in a girl's room. No girl in my family. So no buy. Mom also don't want. Hehe.

This is one of the stalls set up by the roadside. The tour guide told us that the pasar malam/night market will be on every night, not like Chatuchak at Bangkok which only have on weekends. Shop till you drops.

This is a place where the seller set up stores, like a market like that. Got a lot of ladies' shirt, handmade flower soap, massage and more. I and mom went to shopping while my dad went to Foot Massage, only 60baht/half hour. Cheap hor?

I came to this place, also call night bazaar, but the things there not interesting. You can find some scary things there for sale, like this :

I wonder who will ever buy this doll.

But they do have pro artist that draw very nice drawings, just almost same as the photos, background, everything. Look almost the same 90% same as the original photo. Envy, respect.

See?

Stay tune for Day 2 of my Chiang Mai trip.

Day 1 : Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport

2007-07-31T17:05:00.000+08:00

I am going to spread my 3 days travel experience into several post for more easy reading pleasure and faster loading time. Back to school, and busy sharing my travel things with classmates and friends.

I took budget airline Air Asia to Chiang Mai, but it was not a direct flight. Dad bought tickets online for Penang to Bangkok, then another tickets from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

Now I am getting a little phobia on taking flight, I do enjoy it journey but National Geographic Channel's Air Crash Investigation causes the flight phobia on me. Haha. My favorite part on a plane is when the plane take off. Scariest part is when it lands.

It was raining when we landed at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. It did not bother us as we stay in the airport until the next flight.

So, most probably is because that we took the budget airline, so we don't get to go to the arriving terminal on those bridges that stick to the plane. Instead, we have to walk down the stairs from the plane and take a short bus ride to the arriving terminal.

It was about 5 hours free time until our next flight and we can't check in so early also. Have lunch there at the airport and my dad drink a couple of beer, he said beer in Thailand is cheap. I walk around and look for Wifi access for Twittering, but no luck, all need to pay.

Dad drink beer, I eat ice cream. I loves the ice cream (100baht) from Cafe Nero by Black Canyon Coffee (Claim to be largest coffee chain store in Thailand).

I found a lot of little machine at the airport, actually they are for International phone calls and Internet access. I paid 50baht and wrote something for my blog.

Air Asia check in counter is always at row E, last time I went to Bangkok also at row E. So I went to Row E.

Queue up for bags check in and getting our boarding pass. We just need to show our passports and they will give us the boarding pass. So, the paper that I've printed out about the AirAsia one was useless.

It's time for some camwhoring. Getting myself to the waiting hall.

The airport is so big and we have to take these moving walkways a few time until we reach the terminal. It's time to fly to Chiang Mai with Air Asia, again.

Hard to Find Free WiFi at Chiang Mai

2007-07-29T18:35:00.000+08:00

Stupid Starbucks Coffee here, because they don't offer free Wifi, instead you have to pay 90baht/rm9 for 1 hour usage. So that sucks. It's not exactly no free wifi here, I do found one just now on the Internet, near my hotel, later go check it out.

Currently blogging from Central Airport Plaza, paid 10baht/rm1 for 15 minutes usage, which is better than at the airport there. Will be back home tomorrow, took LOTS of photos lo. My 1GB SD Card now can take 50 more photos then full already, took about 600 photos, incude some video clips. =)

Lalala, got to go, stay tune to my blog for photos from Chiang Mai.

Jelly Balls

2007-07-25T23:15:00.000+08:00

This jelly like ball shaped thing is for the plant. We have a lot at the YE room which were use to make a little plant as Teachers' Day gift last time. Feel like the 珍珠奶茶 Taiwan Bubble Tea one jelly. Everytime I touch it, feel like putting it into the mouth, but of course it's tasteless.

The YE Sales Fair Aftermath

2007-07-24T21:03:00.001+08:00

Well, the YE sales fair ended already. Nothing next, the next sales fair will be next year. So we are now waiting for the result of which company receive the award and waiting on report on how much we have earned on the 2 days sales event at Queensbay Mall.

I was very fun, enjoy every minutes of it standing at the stall, introducing our Blitz products to customers, passersby.

Young Enterprise Queensbay Sales Fair from Nicholas Chan and Vimeo.

At first, I don't know how to start. I asked my friend to demonstrate, since then, I started my as a promoter/salesman.

"Hi there, sir/miss, please come and take a look at our product ..."
"Good ... sir/miss, let me introduce you to our ... "

Gain experience through this sales fair, it's different from selling stuff at a food and fun fair, I can't shout like people at the pasar malam (night market) there, it's a public place, a shopping mall you know.

Sadly, I sold a lots of BlitzVogue the handphone straps but not any of the BlitzVision (the lamp) and the BlitzFile (er, the paper file).

Anyway, I learn a lot from through this sales fair and I got to eat free KFC for 2 days. =D

6.00pm sharp, the judge want us to stop selling and that's the end of the sales fair.

Astro On Demand Is A Widescreen Channel

2007-07-23T23:09:00.000+08:00

Do you know that Astro On Demand is actually a widescreen channel? All channel in Astro is standard 4:3 screen size, if you watch Astro on a widescreen LCD the object people all become fat fat one.

While for Astro On Demand channel, if you watching it on normal screen TV, you will see 2 bar above and below. That is their technique for you to watch 16:9 widescreen show on your widescreen plasma/LCD tv.

If you are using a Samsung TV, press P.Size for Zoom, then you will see the bar removed. If other TV, find Zoom or Picture Size or something about zoom. But after zoom, you can't read the subtitle as the subtitle is at the black bar area.

Shiok LO! If all channel like that ah, then its a very good reason for changing my living room tv to a widescreen one.

I Met Her Again

2007-07-22T21:40:00.000+08:00

我又遇见了她。
我遇见她时，
我整个人都呆了。
不知道下一步是什么。
开心？也许吧。
我很想跟她做个朋友，
但是我没有那个胆量。
以前,
听说她什么什么.
我有想过为什么要和这样什么什么的人做朋友.
那只是短暂的思想.
我又不知道她真真的为人是怎样的,
也许她不是这样的吧...
要知道她是怎样的人,
必须和她交个朋友.
但每一次遇见她,
我都不知道要怎么开口.

今天,
我们的距离很近.
给了我很大的机会去跟她说话.
我自己丢弃了这个机会.
一声都没出到.
开心,
因为她站在我旁边而已.
害羞,没信心,怕.
我有想过,
我踏出第一步,
跟她说一声 Hi,
给她我的通讯卡,
也许还会成功.
但是如果我坚持这样,
一定没有机会认识到她.

盼望下一次在遇见她．

2007-07-20T17:41:00.000+08:00

New song introduce. Very new, heard it like 2 days ago in radio for the "premiere". 3 singers singing this song, guess who? Got one is our local singer. Geng leh? 曹格 Gary Cao Ge，卫兰 Janice and 张敬轩 Hin. Nice song, I like it.

曲：曹格
詞：周耀輝
唱：曹格 / 張敬軒 / 衞蘭

要去那裡試試領教那奧秘　要去這裡也為碰著這驚喜
聽說各處往往會有各處美　永遠旅行中
要去那裡試試印證那幹勁　要去這裡也為發現這風景
聽說四季那夠我與你好勝　永遠這分鐘
跟我脫去外套　你要上高峰
跟我撇去煩惱　遠處望得到
Let's go!　能去就去練太陽舞
Let's go!　能去就去覓壯闊天空
行出來出來青春途中　猜不到一切也都可碰到
Let's go!　能信做到就會做到
Let's go!　能去就去摘片片青蔥
行出來出來擠迫城中　爭得到一晝覺得不會老
要去那裡試試讚嘆那建設　要去這裡也為領略這新鮮
我要到處逛逛約你到處見　永遠假期中
要去那裡試試砌到那創作　要去這裡也為唱詠這首歌
我信世界那夠我與你細個　永遠這分鐘
Let's go!　能去就去練太陽舞
Let's go!　能去就去覓壯闊天空
行出來出來與我宣布　猜不到一切也都可碰到
Let's go!　能信做到就會做到
Let's go!　能去就去摘片片青蔥
如將來將來變了冰凍　爭得到一晝記憶可到老
令什麼一天好到不結束　令什麼街區吹到暖暖清風
若悶了請一起可遠足　用什麼快樂地圖　處處都好

Sorry, no pinyin lyrics yet. Have a nice day!
