MUSIC TO MY EARS

Since last week and while in KL
I have been hearing songs from Olivia Ong and Joanna Wong

I really like some of the jazz from them
and these gals do have wonderful voices.

Luckily i can find them online and no need to buy the CD
as i only like a few songs.

I Hope you guys/gals enjoy the songs on my player :)

Cheers!

KL TRIP - PART 2

Read about Part 1

This post will be just some random pictures from KL

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Our 1st breakfast in KL... at 9am + (after a long search)
Our hotel rates doesnt include breakfast

One point to take note.. most of the restaurants and cafes
only open at 10am.
This Starbucks cafe open from 8am but selective branches only.

I wonder where does the locals goes for breakfast?? Or they dont wake up so early?? If yes.. I should move there!



The set we are having, which is 1 sandwich + 1 coffee will cost about RM$6.50
Not too bad for a starbucks breakfast.
Its so relaxing to just chill for breakfast.. coffee and newspapers

Actually we are out waiting for the mall to open their gates
Guess we are way too early!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Green Box karaoke... just like our local K box

In KL, i think green and red box are everywhere!


Oh man.how come we dont have such cute K rooms in SG?
its quite sound proof.. I cant hear the singing from outside!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Berjaya Time Squares
frankly speaking there is much to shop there...
most of the shops are selling the same stuffs.
(very similar to our far east plaza)

As we soon get board and head on to check out the indoor theme park.


Its a 360 degree turn..
Unfortunately Emma's not very keen on roller coaster rides


This however, catches our attention
but we didnt manage to go in the end... Irene is so disappointed

After a 15min queue, we were told tickets are not sold separately
must buy bundle package which include the rides


The weirdest thing happen when we ask the staff how much is the
bundle package.
Instead of advising the price, she ask Emma
"Where are you from? Which Country?"

Emma actually went stunned for a while before telling her Msia
I was staring at him.. hoping he dont say S'pore
he kinda of forgotten where he came from..dangz!

She raised her eyebrow and advised tickets for
malaysians are RM$37.00
Wah, is it double or triple standards?! If we say singapore, then will she quote us S$37.00? If next couple from USA, will they need to pay US$37.00?
Maybe next time can say we from Vietnam.. and we pay in dong!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Didnt realise Malaysia emphasis so much on
Public Education about pets and animals

Come across this showcase in one of the monorail station.


Oh, i like this beared dragon.. look so pretty

This is something I will give two "THUMBS UPZ"
Hope we can see more of this , but please provide more infos thou
S'pore should have this too!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Public toilets are like everywhere in KL
have seen a few such of these blue 'houses' located
by the road side.. hmm.. its so convinent lookin for washroom yeah
Its 20 cents per visit and for 15 mins.

I have yet to try.. hehe.. im pretty scare of dirty toilets
and it seems so high tech.. i dont know how they works.

Anybody from KL can explain more?


Its say 20 cents for 15 mins
I wonder what happens after 15mins eh.. does the alarm starts to go off and the door opens even when user is still *ahem*?!
lol maybe i think too much..
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Penang Village, one of the restaurants in Times Squares
Not all the food taste good..!
But we are so hungry
and its so difficult to located a restaurant in this Huge mall
so we just pick 1 out to try.






This is Irene's Chay Kway Teow
I dont even bother taking the kway teow itself i guess
as the cockles look more interesting!

Irene called them pre-historic hums..
lol who will eat them?!


This got to be my worst choice ever
The smelliest Penang Assam Laksa I have ever seen

This modified version of the Penang Laksa is giving me nitemares
I almost puke on my 3rd bite.

All these food cost us abt RM$130... and the stupid Penang Laksa
I pass all to Emma , end up i was so hungry and didnt dare to risk order other food.

In the end, cause i was too hungry
I went to buy Krispy Kreme.. its was HEAVENLY!
Its the 'MUST EAT' item on my KL food list.
go for original glazed.. assorted dont taste as nice.

no picture taken of Krispy Kreme cuz i was too hungry.. darn
----------------------------------------------------------------------

okay up next is the legendary KLCC

We got to walk, take Monorail, walk again change to train service
before we get to go there.

In all, for 4 person.. we spend like RM$10++ on public transport
just to get there from Bintang Walk(per way).

It will cheaper to travel by taxi for 4
Emma and I took cab back to our hotel from KLCC its only RM$10
without meter.

another taxi driver quoted us RM$20 and of cos we walk away Please take note.. KLCC is so much nearer to Bintang walk (if you staying there) then its seems on the map. Its just about 10mins drive!


This mega mall is packed with whole lot of branded and luxurious goods
Overall , some branded are more expensive in KL despite the exchange rate

This mall is really good for those who loved brand names
and if you are into serious shopping there.
Please bring along your HSBC credit card.. its major discount
like 30% for purchase of 3 items up

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This got to be my favourite street
Its Pavillion on Bintang Walk!

Everything just look so GLAM!


Arh.. im so excited to dash into Juicy Coulture
its double story.. but all the stuffs are freaking Expensive!

Then its raining donuts... as we stop by J.Co to chill

1st we ordered drinks(RM$10) and their mini pops which is like 24 pcs (RM$17).



Then they give free donuts for each drinks!
wah liew... we never eat so much donuts in our whole life!

Siew Hua told me that J.Co in Sg also give out free donut So unfair, i never encountered before! Is it cause Im not pretty!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our last view of KL street

Its already past 11pm and its still bustling with life!


there is this group of street dancers on the junction
every night without fail there will be a huge crowd forming.
Im impressed, there is probably about 100 ot more in the crowd.


I did took some video clip of them dancing
will post it up once editing is done.
I actually stayed for 30 mins to watch them as its pretty interesting!


Then there is this weird uncle on the street
The 1st night i got freak out by him that i started running
as he had the HUGE board covering him and its moving towards me
I have no way to avoid him on the narrow street but to run


He has alot of news articles pasted on the huge board
and I try reading it.. but it touch when he keep moving around
So im not sure what he actually want.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Final summary on KL

Its a very relaxing trip i didnt shop at all, just window shop and chilled at cafe
as main piority is to relax and meet my photographer

finally have some quality sleep which im so lacking of
for the past few months

im a little disappointed thou as i cant find the HK cafe that serve very good baked rice
and the cafe that Dal say must go!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIPS for Travellers
If you are travelling in groups of fours. Its always cheaper to take Taxi
Taxi coupons are available at KLIA and KL Sentral.

we have spend RM$170 taking trains/taxi to our hotel
but spend only RM$100 on hotel limo service direct to KLIA

but taxi driver always try to over-quote, hence if you want to bargain
cut by 50% will be a safe bet.. else just walk away.
Even if they do on the meter for you, dont forget they can always take a longer route.

Change your currency at the money exchange out of the airport
rates at Airport is so much lower compared to outside

Recently I noticed most major retailers are have promo with HSBC credit
remember to bring along your HSBC card, there is much saving then paying cash!

There will never lack of food along Bintang Walk however it might be
a little difficult finding some chinese restaurant
Buzz me if you wan to know where... these groups of restaurants are
so well hidden in a lane. We wouldnt have know if the taxi driver didnt tell us..

KL TRIP - PART 1

This KL trip, I didnt really took alot of pictures
I kinda of forgotten too.. haha
So nothing much to show actually

When we 1st arrive, i guess its take alot of getting used to M'sia
Irene and SiewHua, keep asking.. "Eeeh hw come like this de?"
whenever they come across something odd
Me and Emma will just reply "well, welcome to M'sia!"
lol.. isnt it so sacarstic?


We managed to get S$68 for 2way jetstar flight to KL
which is really cheap (i think cheaper than coach fare)
The good thing is its so fast, 55 mins flight time
compared to the 4hrs journey by coach!

1st view of KL International Airport (KLIA)



Did you notice the difference in the two picture?
One part of the airport didnt have the lights on.
Hmm, are they saving the earth by switching off the lights?

This is the favourite part of the whole airport
Its just feel like we are amidst the jungle

KLIA is freaking BIG(size of 72 football field)
We have to take the Aerotrain to the baggage claim area

This is one of the cabin


This is the interior.. and not much seats
mostly for standing capacity


Its really FAST moving... no wonder they call it the AEROtrain
unlike our sky train.. which i should named it THE SNAIL

After some misleading road directory and signage
finally got to the customs clearance

Emma was explaining... we need some understanding of how Msian's brains function
in order to understand e meaning of the confusing signage!
No wonder he understand the signage well!



We joined the endless queue for foreigners

I cant remember how long we took to clear the customs
Damn, I think I had better apply for PR soon..
so I no longer have to waste time queueing

Its so maddening to see this...usual in malaysia
There are like 60 counters, only 12 are open but 6 in operation.
the balance of the 6 are open but no officer on duty

Look at this, 2/3 of the arrival hall are empty
that explains why there is a endless queue forming


Are they trying to create an illusion KL have an
overwhelming number of tourist??

Emma was already waiting with our baggage for quite sometime lor.

Next for tourist who wan to save some money like us
You can get the express train ticket for RM$35 each.



Its stops at KL Sentral but before we manage to get to the
train terminal within KLIA, we did got lost for a while.
So please ask around if you are unsure of the signage!

At KL Sentral, you can switch to the shuttle service
provided by your hotel or get a taxi





the interior is really nice and clean (amazing!)
there is even a LCD screen for entertainment


Hehe, for a trip of only 28 mins
Im amazed they even have washroom in the train!
So considerate hor!

But after 15 mins......the light is still on


Hahah, the toilet is just for shows eh..... apparently they locked it

Eventually we took a cab to our hotel from KL sentral which cost RM$30
as its not very expensive and really some travelling time.

We are staying at Capitol Hotel located at heart of the shopping malls
I must say location is very good and service wise Great!

We have booked for 2 superior rooms but
they have upgrade up to 2 connecting deluxe rooms without any surcharge.

Yah Yah!



The rooms are clean and cosy!
Definitely staying back at this hotel if we are back in KL again
Location are really good.. all the shopping malls are around the hotels
no lack of food and cafe
Can save so much money on transport

Hotel provide local newspapers on daily basis too

To be continue......

HUNGRY GAYS...

Before I post out the pictures from KL..
I think i should just blog about this "admirer" of my hubby.

Just last two weeks, Wick ask me if im worried about Emma
turning gay since he is working in a Gym.

Hmm, seriously im not as im not gonna bother myself with stuffs like that
if its meant to be then it will be..

Haha, and i was telling Wick and Ms ChorLor about this
admirer of Emma.
He is one of the Potential client, and its pretty obvious he is GAY.

Okay we have nothing against Gay but this fellow just make me Laugh.
Im so amused by his acts..

1st he is always telling Emma "How cute he is"
and ocassionally sending flirting SMS like... "Hey i like ur new hair cut.. its so Cute"
or "can we mit out for dinner, we can be friends right?"
and many more which i cant remembered.
Hmm, its alittle funny for guy to be texting such things to another guy..

when i 1st saw the sms.. I even ask Emma
if this the GF outside.. u know
save the Tel contacts under a Male client name and
in fact its a female!

To a certain extend.. he was being a bit extreme.. extremely desperate
Who in the right mind will ask a trainer out to discuss training package
over dinner... and end up footing the bill and sending the trainer home.
It should be the trainer footing the bill right??
Its just the same as meeting ur Insurance agent and buying him lunch
and also buying a policy...

Then nevermind.. so on the pretext of discussing package
He was actually like having a flirting session... but he did commit to purchase
well the payment never come in thou...

Wahaha... I knew that will happen! Wait till he say to mit for payment as the next excuse for meet-up!

Chor Lor agreed that its Hungry Gays like this that spoilts the reputation
of the GLBT community. Which i think so too..

Nevermind.. 2 days ago while we are chilling at the cafe in KL
Emma show us this SMS... wahaha

Emma finally reply him after receiving a few sms
if Emma did not reply, he will ask if Emma have forgotten him

Lol, he is telling Emma he MISSED HIM wor
i think very soon hor.. he sure will sms for dinner again!

Oh my... i think he is really testing water , trying to flirt
as he know Emma is married.

LOL.... if i didnt mentioned right from the start that sender is a MALE
would you all have assumed that sender is a female?

IN THE NAME OF ISLAM.. OMG

*repost from email*
Is this real?
OMG, if its real... does humanity really exist?


A 8 year old boy was caught stealing a bread in the market
In the kind name if Islamic rule, the boy will be punished for his act.
Hi right arm will be crushed under the wheels of the truck
possibility of losing the use of his arm forever.





I do not know if this is real, if someone has the answer
please tell me

I just cannot comprehend the reason for such harsh punishment
on a 8year old.
If he is poor and hungry, who is to blame when he steal food
for survival?!
