We took the earliest flight available. We arrived at the airport around 5am in the morning. We chose to fly with AirAsia. The tickets were actually booked 3 months ago during the promo period.

We departed at 6.05am.

Amazing experience, it was, to observe the entire sun rising process in the sky.

We arrived at LCCT around 7.40am, about 10 minutes earlier than the estimated time. This is also my first time landed at LCCT.  I used to landed at KLIA instead of LCCT when I travel to Kuala Lumpur.

We used SkyBus to go to KL Sentral. If you wanna save up, it’s a wise choice to purchase the SkyBus tickets together with your AirAsia ticket. It’s really hassle free. All you gotta do is to show your travel itinerary (with the proof that you have purchased the SkyBus tickets) to the bus attendant.

It takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to reach KL Sentral. Listening to the music can help you relax a bit during the whole journey.

Once we arrived at KL Sentral, we were kinda “lost”. Initially wanna take the LRT to our hotel. At last, a friend of mine told me to take the Monorail instead. This was also our first time visit to KL Sentral. It’s still undergoing heavy construction for the station to link to the Monorail station. So it’s kinda stuffy and dirty. In fact, we just have to walk to the opposite road to get to the Monorail station once going down from the bus.

That’s why I mentioned that we were kinda “lost”, walking here and there just to look for ways (means of transport) to get to our hotel.  But just this one time, after that we get ourselves familiar with the area and travel to and fro a lot at that area.

This rapidKL token is the ticket / pass to board the Monorail. This is what we do not have back here in Sarawak.

Our destination is Jalan Alor. We took the Monorail from KL Sentral to the Bukit Bintang station. RM2.10 per trip. Convenient and do not have to stuck in terrible traffic jam. But involve a lot of walking. For people like us who always drive here and there, walking has become an art. Make sure to equip proper shoe for long distance walking

And finally, we were at Jalan Alor.  Hot, sweating and tiring. Yet, happy.

Yes, this is Orange ^_^

Stay tune for next post, about the hotel that we stayed.

Well, there are many other cartoon designs available other than this penguin from the popular China instant messaging tool — QQ.  BOBO Soft toy speakers come in various designs (with 3 months warranty):

I got myself a pair of penguins! <3

It looks really cute on my computer desk, just like a cute decoration.

What other devices can you spot in the above photo? ^^ (oh~ and that’s my lovely Johnny Depp desktop wallpaper :3)

So far, this speaker is still okay for playing light and soft music, but not quite suitable for all those heavy bass songs. Here’s a recording of me testing the audio output:

A song by Paul McCartney named “My Valentine” feat. Johnny Depp. <3

Oh, I bought this from PC Image, during their Mid Year Sale which is held from 25th to 27th May 2012.

The speakers normal selling price is RM39. It’s now RM29 only during this 3 days promo! Of course, there are plenty more great deals which you can find out by visiting any of their outlets in Sarawak.

Okay, I wanna sit back and enjoy my music now.

Stay tune for my KL trip updates, coming soon, real soon

This is a really sweet and nice sentimental song called “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri, and also the OST of the famous Twilight movie. ThePianoGuys, once again, had performed a very flawless cover for this song.

The combination of piano and cello just make you fall more in love <3

I’m not a Twilight fan, though. But music has no boundaries

Like last year, Starbucks is also participating in this event by giving free beverage to those who arrived at Starbucks outlet at the said hour. This year, for those who checked in Foursquare will be entitled a free Frappucino grande sizef of your choice. Isn’t it great?

After work, we straight away went to the Starbucks outlet located at Kuching International Airport. It was only 7.44pm and we were here already. You can see a “SPECIAL” sign located next to Starbucks in Foursquare.

Since we had not have our dinner yet, we ordered a club sandwich for dinner. It was before 8.30pm and we did not order any drinks yet.

When the clock struck 8.30pm, lights were turn of partially. Everyone started queuing at the counter. Wow! In a while, Starbucks was full of people!

Crowded~ Everyone seem excited.

To redeem a complimentary Frappucino, you have to show your Foursquare check-in to the barista.

While waiting for our turns, we ordered some take-away from McD.

Orange and I ordered a greentea Frapp + hazelnut syrup + choco chips with whip-cream, each. This is what I usually order when I visit Starbucks. I think it taste great.

It’s FREE!!

We were enjoying our McD and Starbucks in the dark~

Happy Earth Hour ^^

During Chinese new year, this dish is always served as an opening and it is an essential dish to have – Yee Sang.

Everyone used chopstick to mix the yee sang and wish everyone a prosperous new year.

Next, we have this steamed rice in lotus leaf.

The shark fin soup is a luxurious dish, and also a common dish during a gathering dinner like this.

Herbal Chicken, also known as “Beggar Chicken”.

Fish is also another symbolic dish during Chinese new year. We had steamed fish.

Pork leg.

Butter prawn.

At last, we have some dessert.

It’s almost Dad’s birthday, so we celebrated it earlier.

We were all so full and it was a blissful dinner with family.

During new year eve (22nd Jan), my friends came to my house to have a steamboat reunion dinner. This is kinda cool, because before this, I never celebrate reunion dinner with friends!

I was busy preparing the food.

Orange helped to cut some garlic.

A table full of ingredients getting ready for steamboat party~

It was kinda fun after all, although the BBQ hot plate is not as sizzling as those in the shop.

We were all so full ^_^

Did you have reunion dinner with your family? How do you feel?

Anyway, I would like to wish all of you a very prosperous Dragon year ^^

Just like last year, I went to eat BBQ steamboat with a bunch of friends. We had steamboat at Swan Teem BBQ Steamboat 双天自助铁板火锅城. I didn’t eat much as I easily get full when eating steamboat. It was glad to gather with friends at end of the year.

Let’s see what kind of new year resolutions I have this year:

1. Keep fit. I wanna get back in shape!! I want to continue my Slimming Project.
2. Focus more on my blogs as much as I spent time on Facebook.
3. Figure out how to increase my online revenue.
4. Get a baking oven. I wanna learn and have fun with baking. [one of my new year resolutions from year 2010 which I did not achieve.]
5. Hangout more with my Canon G11.

I really hope I can achieve all of them this year!

By the way, today is also A.P.P.L.E’s 5th year anniversary. Oh wow! I’ve been in the blogging community for 5 years, yet my blog has not reach 1000 blog posts. It’s time to move on.

Happy 2012 and may all of you have a blessed and prosperous year ahead!

Looking back, I don’t think there’s much to say for year 2011. Perhaps I blog less and that’s why it seems to have nothing to refer back. (how sad, and look at the comments left for my blog is almost 0 all the time)

However, there are some memorable events:

On Feb, I went to KL for vacation. It’s such a tough decision for me to on leave for vacation. I was suppose to post up photos on this vacation, yet…well all those photos are lying quietly in my PC.

11th of March, I bought myself a 16GB iPhone 4. So far, I’m still enjoy using it. iOS rocks!

1st of April was a changing point for my life. It seemed like an April fool joke, yet it was not. I was promoted in my career. However, misunderstanding issues were every where and I nearly lost my friendship. Anyway, I have lost a friend this year. D:

Some time around April, I have got my Google Adsense pament. Thanks Google!

Some time around July, I bought myself a second iDevice, which is a 32GB iPad 2 black. Suppose to blog about it as well. Perhaps you will see a lot of blog posts next year which were events happened in 2011!! LOL.

Also happening in July, I was assigned a task to blog about a basketball competition held by Celcom, and I was sponsored by Nuffnang. Thanks Nuffnang for giving me this opportunity!

8th August, I got a kitten. And now he has grown into a very cute and beautiful cat. I even setup a Tumblr blog specially dedicated to my cat, Chi.

During mid August, I went to Singapore for vacation. It was actually an annual company trip. Staff who work 3 years and above are entitled to join the trip. It was my first company trip! The trip was awesome. Photos were taken, of course. And…those photos are lying quietly in my PC as well. Those photos are not even in my Facebook! LOL.

From 29th October to 1st November, I went to Miri. It was a business trip. Went there to meet the branch staff and provide some training. It was a great trip, although tired staying in the office for long hours. Every air I breathed in was freedom. XD

It took me 2 days (24th December – 25th December) to help Orange moved out from his previous accommodation.  Reason to move out was due to the increase of house rental. The other housemates did not agree with the increment, hence we all had to move out. I was so stress looking for new ‘hideout’. Thanks to my friend, I was able to settle Orange down, and checked him into his new place – Courtyard Sanctuary apartment at MJC.

Best thing to end the year, my another Google Adsense payment has been issued. This is the 2nd payment from Google this year. How sad to see the online revenue is rapidly decreasing

Next, let’s take a look at my  2011 new year resolution:

1. Reduce fat!!!!! I wanna be slim and beautiful.
2. Money, money, come come.
3. Read another 5 books!! Reading is great!
4. Get an iPad.
5. Design and decorate my bedroom interior.
6. Blog more often.

Let’s see what I have achieved so far:

1. This is an epic fail. I did not loose weight, and i have gained some. I just measured my waistline. It has become 35″?! WTH!!??!

2. Yes, just a little. And I have to work harder.

3. I didn’t finish any book!! OMFG! Thanks to the iDevices I have bought.

4. Yes!!! I have achieved this. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

5. I did a rearrangement to my bedroom and add some deco like light bulbs for Christmas. Be it Christmas or not, the light bulbs is always beautiful to gaze at.

6. Another fail mission. Look at my archives and you will understand what I mean. Perhaps micro-blogging like sharing posts at Twitter or Tumblr is much more easier and convenient these days.

Alright, that’s for 2011.

See you in 2012!

This is how the old Facebook profile looks like.

The most attractive feature you can find in timeline is the “Cover”. It’s like the image header you found in almost every typical personal blogs. Or if you are using Path on your smartphones, it’s the same like the “cover” in your Path profile.

After converting my Facebook profile to the new timeline profile, this is how it looks like.

You probably need some time to get used to the interface, though.

“Once you get timeline, you’ll have 7 days before anyone else can see it. This gives you a chance to get your timeline looking the way you want before other people see it.”

Now, you can highlight / feature any posts that you share on your timeline by clicking the star icon. You can hide or delete posts from your timeline as well.

Some people dislike the new timeline profile. But we still have to bare with it as sooner or later everyone will be forced to change. Once you get use to it, there should not be any problems. Just like previously Facebook changed their interface and gained a lot of negative feedback. Still, people are using Facebook!

Give it a try or take a look at the timeline introduction.
