Fashion Highway in the Mall

 

Too bad, no chance for me too see the model walk on the runway, but just take some ‘clean’ photo for the ‘Highway’… :(

 

Very Cute… But a bit complicated for fashion show. Hopefully when the shows finish, no models will become ‘satay’ in the photo…

Who’s more Bitchy?

Today went to this bridal shop in Jalan Look Yew, I.Romance, with another friend, to verity the demo for the second time. The only word that I wanna comment is BAD. I never expect that they did such a silly mistake and I’m totally not agree with their way of management.

Last month 7^th, we went there and verify the photo after they did some edit for the photos, and put it into the design that we want. That’s not the final production, still need to do some touch up, so this round we need to verify the final production (after touch up) before they send it for printing.

First Mistake – we called before we arrive, just to make sure they’re ready everything we need. The gal answer the phone confirm with us that everything is ready, and the demo can start right after we arrive. BUT, when the time we reach there, another gal tell us another story, the other way round, the photos not with them YET, have to wait for the dispatch to send it by 4pm. WTF, we reach there around 11.30 and she wants us to come back after 4pm.

Of course we not allow them to keep us waiting, then I start to do what a fussy customer should do. My friend cannot wait for me, she already started to scold them. Maybe because she’s a gal so they not really listen, maybe voice too soft. That time, my anger reading is reaching the peak, so sorry to the lady who serve us, her name called Grace, because I told her: “Now please don’t pass me the problem that you should solve it and give me an answer. I don’t care who the hell answering the call, but now we’re here and we not going to come back later but I’m giving you one hour from now and we wanna see at least the soft copy showing on the screen…”

Mistake No. 2 – before I finish what I wanna say, she told me that: “Sorry, we cannot make it, because everything with the dispatch boy and he’s on his way, now I think he’s on the way, drop by others shop, then by 4pm only he will reach here…”. Of course I’m not allow her to finish it too… : “I don’t care, I’m not asking you to show me the hard copy, but I just want to verify it with the soft copy.” She said: “cannot, soft copy and hard copy is different, and much more easy for you to see with the hard copy, color will be more clear, sharp, same as the printing later… … …” She talk too much, I don’t want to listen, because I know she’s trying to ask me to wait. My only respond is: “You’re not trying to solve it but keep on giving me excuses, so sorry to tell that nowadays with email, everything can send out by second. Unless your production is not ready yet, if not I don’t believe that your designer cannot send it out even if he’s now not in town… No need hard copy, soft copy is enough, even your LCD is not the best one, or it’s not adjusted the color by using ‘spider’, but still I just want to see the design, not the color. Stop giving me excuses, and please solve it now. Still will only wait you for one hour…”

She’s wasting her time to persuade us to come back later, but not using the time I’d gave her to solve it. Stupid. She never knows who she’s dealing with.

Mistake No. 3. After 15mins, another fat gal, never tell us her name, play us a CD which inside saving all the photos that we waiting for so long. Just now told me cannot make it, but now we’re watching what we ask from the starting point, so the only comment I wanna give is “Go to hell with all the excuses…”. This fat gal sitting next to us, with her Black-face on, thought that she will looks much more pretty with putting on that black-face, but too bad to tell that, I rather to see her putting on some shit to her face than showing me her black-face, sorry to be rude, but I really meant it.

Only 14 pages we need to verify, but she cannot be patient and keep on asking: “Are you finish everything? So everything no problem? OK?...” My eyes ‘installed’ with filter, so I can just ignore what she said and continue discuss the photos with my friend. Ends up only few parts that she willing to edit again, I pointed more than 10parts but she only edit 3-5parts only, inside these 1-2 of it still not sure the designer will touch up or not. This will be another mistake for them. Her service is already BAD, now she told me maybe her designer will not touch up the mistake that I named it. I really cannot stand for it.

Before we leaving, she asks me about my occupation, this is not the first time they ask, since the first time I enter into this stupid shop, different people asking me the same question, but of course, I just tell them I’m an optician but will never tell any about photography. They want my business card to prove it, and I have it. So they still cannot really clear why my friend must bring us there. If not because they sign up the package in one of the wedding fair, we never recommend them to choose this. So please remember, never ever try to visit this bridal shop anymore, no matter you yourself, or your friends and relatives. IR, I’m no longer step into your shop anymore, after we settle for this time.

Advice for the one who wanna go and take photo in the bridal house, must learn how to be bitchy then only step into the shop. Then you will get the service you paid for.

 

I’m still not done with them, if any mistake comes out after this, they will see me again and I’ll treat them ‘nicely’…

2nd Visit to Sungai Klah Hot Spring

Today visit Sungai Klah Hot Spring for the second time, just to relax a bit. Just because it not too far, just one hour can reach here, and we missing the nice jacuzzi. This time the pricing a bit different, just changed, maybe start from today gua… Entrance fee from RM7 to become RM10 per person. But the charges for the private section, or the family spa still the same, one pool RM 75 per hour. So we just get back the same deal.

This time just have enough time for me to walk around, because we have to wait for the pool, full when we arrive, memang business baik.

This the entrance for the family spa, you can see it right after you walk in from the cafeteria.

Start at 9am, so if you want to be the first one to use the pool, then you should reach here right before 9.

This the hot water source, cannot go in, just see from the outside, located next to the entrance of Family Spa.

“Follow me, this the way to the place for ‘EGG BOILING’, Please READY your ‘EGGS’…”

See… the eggs is boiling…

Read the Chart, and count the time, make sure your egg is not over cook…

This is the ‘Ga Bou Lang Chang’ you use to boil your egg, if you have your own one then please bring it with you ya…

FUCKING Town

A Town called FUCKING, Austria.

History of the FUCKing Town:

The settlement of Fucking has existed since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. "-ing" is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people of the root word to which it is attached; thus Fucking means "(place of) Focko’s people." The village has a population of 107.

Fucking's most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it, beside which tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. It is a commonly stolen street sign.Significant public funds have been spent on replacing the stolen signs.

In 2004, mainly due to the stolen signs, a vote was held on changing the village's name, but the residents voted against doing so. According to the town mayor, Siegfried Hauppl: "We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr Fuck or the Fuck family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement.”

In August 2005, the road signs were replaced with theft-resistant signs welded to steel and secured in concrete to prevent further chances of the sign being stolen. Few thefts have since occurred, but it remains a problem.

==================

In the Chinese Newspaper stated that most of the tourists make love under the road signs and this bring a lot of trouble to the little town. The solution to solve this problem is to setup CCTV on top of the road sign to stop the tourist to do something 'hot' under it.

Babi Guling

  

One of the Famous Food in Bali – Babi Guling. This restaurant located in Ubud, named Ibu Oka, everyone here spent two hours journey from Kuta to Ubud just to taste the original recipe of Babi Guling. Most original one…

BABI GULING

 

  

See… Everyone waiting here… really long queue… Start from the point I’m standing at least need to wait for 30mins… If you’re lucky… but this only for them who wanna take away, if dine in, you just have to take a seat and they will serve you, but still have to wait for 30-45mins…

No matter inside or outside the restaurant, not easy for you to get a place to sit. Unless the food is sold out. Normally Everyday they start operation at 11am, and will finish at 2pm. So if you really wanna try it, you must come early… the pig will never wait for you… ;P

 

Menu very simple and clear, you just pick the normal set or the special set. Beside that you still can have some side-order. The food not so expensive, just cost about RM 9, for one set of Babi Guling Rice.

 

 

This the way they serve the BABI GULING… a bit scary…

The Lady so happy to show us the PIG HEAD… Aiyer…

She will cut out the meat from the head too… the Nose is gone…

The Pig Ass a bit ‘chao da’…   and the leg so funny…

 

When her job is done, then the rest will serve the food…

 

  

 BABI GULING RICE… on the table and ready to start feeding into our stomach…

NICE~~~ one of the food which you must try… never try means you never step into Bali…

Long time never felt so relaxing de… We decided to come again after few months… For those who wanna relax themselves and stay away from the city bizi life, then can take a short trip visiting this place.

Price is so cheap but the taste is SO GOOD!!!!

 

    

 

Just half day trip, is so happy and relax. Never regret to spent my offday out from the city for half day and win back some happiness. After the whole trip and come back so sleepy de… Looking forward for my next trip visiting this place again…

Hot Spring

Now preparing some stuff for tomorrow morning, planned to go for a hot spring trip, going to this hot spring located at Sungkai area. This is my first time visit this place, just take a chance to see how the hot spring looks like. Even still not feeling so well, still flu and cough but still will stick to the plan since my friend is free to bring me there… :P

 

After packing then will take a pill then sleep, tomorrow still need to wake up early. Just pray for a good weather and enjoyable trip.

Travelmate

During my Bali trip, I had learned something very important, at least it’s important for me and I will think carefully for my following trip.

This Bali trip should be very enjoyable and relaxing trip, but just because going with the wrong persons so everything becomes the other way. I’m not going with strangers but with someone that I know for so long, maybe this the first time going out with them so now only I know that next round I cannot going out with few of them de.

Bali, is a island, a historical place, where all the temple or interesting places are all located in different places with a far distance in between each other. Some more our trip is a free and easy trip so I just planned according to my wish, as what they requested, I planned for it.

I told them in the first place that this will be a tiring trip because we need to travel all the way from the south part of Bali, Kuta, to the most north part, Lovina. In my plan is covered all interesting places in Bali, like Mother Temple, Dolphin show in Lovina, Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, Ubud and many many more. All these places not only need to travel for far but will need to walk for far too, some of it take 30mins walk only can reach.

I’m very upset when I found that some complaint on their faces and showing me some tiring face especially when they found that place is not as nice as they thought. Not only have that but complained about the prices of the restaurant that I had picked for them. Lotus Café, one of the famous restaurant in Ubud, recommended by most of the people who went there before. Yes, it is a bit costly (about RM40-50 for a good dinner), but you’re not always can be in Ubud and visit this restaurant all the time. Some more I really hope to see the interior in this restaurant. Ends up we took dinner at this restaurant called Bumbu Bali, which they have a branch in Puchong too, but the one in Puchong serve better food than the one in Bali.

I’m not that happy not because Bali not nice or some other reason but just because of picking up the wrong travelmate. I just text Jane after the second night, told her I must visit Bali for the second time and ask her to company me. They totally spoiled my trip, killed my mood.

They killed my mood, until last two days I never take out my camera, no mood at all. Some of the places just cannot finish because I ‘walk’ too slow de, city people do everything ‘FAST’.

Lesson of the trip: Don’t ever travel with the people who not in the same way with you. Nightmare.

Good Service

For our Bukit Tinggi Trip, we had been arranged by the company to stay at Berjaya Hills Golf and Country Club, a hotel that located 10mins drive distance from French Castle. Thought that the hotel under Berjaya Management should be alright, at least ‘standard’. But the ‘story’ just started…

We checked in around 4pm, since they only allow check in after 3.30pm, so we just take 2.30pm van and reach here after 3.30. After unpack our stuff then we rush for our shooting before the sky turn dark. Then we just left the card in the slot and take out the key with us, because we wish to come back with the full is cold, so just left the aircond on while we going out. By the time we come back is about 6.30pm, our room still hot, just like the aircond never on. When we check the aircond, it’s on, but not cold.

We just double check with the setting and whatever we can do with it, still not work. Then we decide to make a complaint during our dinner time. When we stand in front the reception counter, no one there, but just a phone on the desk, with the notes beside the phone, stated there: Our receptionist is not around; if you need any assistance please press ‘0’ to contact the operator. (forget to take down the photo for the phone and the notes… damn it… need it to make a complaint with Berjaya)

Jane just follow the instruction and try… tried for few times, still no one pick up the phone at the other side. WTF… we thought that maybe the operator went for dinner, since that time is dinner time, so we just try it again after dinner. We hope to see someone will appear in the reception counter after dinner.

Dinner…

Just make a simple ‘report’ for the service of ‘The Restaurant’ (this is the name for the restaurant as what they named it, the only restaurant in this hotel).

Service – Slow, the waiter and waitress maybe learn from the turtle master… SLOW~~~. I have to look for the knife by myself, they serving western food but not giving us any knife. Maybe they thought that we’re in Malaysia so we should take our food by hand. WTF… and their smile is SO expensive, we hardly see they smile.

Food – Sucks… French Fries, overcook until dark brown colour. Mushroom Cream Soup, even the location is 3500meters above the sea level, but still their salt is SO CHEAP, until we cannot take the soup, too salty. But their sugar is too expensive, make our drinks are so ‘original’, but this I still can accept, at least not too sweet until cannot drink. Ham, smelly. Bun, just hard like a rock. Sauce for chicken chop, too sour. Coffee, cheap local coffee (I think it will be the lowest grade one), taste even worst than Kopi O from the local coffee shop, now I wish to have a Nescafe 3in1 Coffee, taste will be far more better than this. Miss my coffee at home.

After dinner, the reception counter still empty, and the phone is still there. I think the counter was empty since 4.30pm, because I remember the receptionist was on the same shutter bus with us, when we took the shutter to French Castle.

At night, we tried out all the number we can dial, from 0-9, duty manager, operator, house keeping, maintenance, room service… none of them picking up the phone… this the first time I facing this kind of problem. In a cheap hotel, hotel without any ‘stars’, at least I can get a receptionist even midnight. So that night we just sleep inside the room without aircond. Luckily still have two fans, if not then we have to sleep at balcony, I think. Poor Jane woke up at night because too hot de.

The worst part is, we still cannot see anyone in the counter when we try to check out. It was 11am, OMG, this hotel is totally hopeless de, and how can they make money with this kind of service? Once again, I try to contact the operator, this time a malay guy answer my call. He’s telling me that the receptionist was away for lunch… WTF… lunch???!!! Lunch since last night? I wish that the upper management know what really happen in this hotel.

At the end, the waiter from The Restaurant did the check out for us. WTH…

I just ask Jane to make a ‘good’ report for this ‘good’ hotel with their ‘good’ service. Wish that Berjaya will take action onto this case. Anyhow, will never stay in this hotel anymore. Never ever think about it.

Hotel which named themselves with how-many-stars giving such a bad service, shame…

Bukit Tinggi Trip

BORING~~~ That’s the only comment for this trip. Not thing much can do up there, but just visit the small town – French Castle. First day spent two hours in Cormal Tropicane, one hour for day shoot and another hour for night shoot. We spent more time on waiting for the shutter bus than take photo.

Maybe because of weekdays, so not so many visitors up there, the castle just too empty. We cannot find a good place for a cup of coffee, the only café inside this castle just serving limited beverages, some more their blender machine out of service so cannot serve ice-blended drinks. So sad.

Our dinner and breakfast all provided so we have no chance to try out the restaurant in the castle. If not mistaken, inside the castle at least have three to four restaurant, only one family sitting inside the one of the restaurant which selling pizza, that’s the white guy and his family who come to this place together in the same van with us.

Night time even worst, we only can see some teenagers walking around, they’re the only gang who making noise. The rest only few couples walking in the castle, enjoying the night life in this boring places. I’m a bit disappointed with the night shoot, because not enough lighting and cannot see really clear for the structure of the building at night.

What makes us more disappointed is the Japanese Village. I thought that the second day should be better than the first day, but too bad our hope spoiled. The restaurant, tea ceremony, and spa all open after 11am, too bad we have to leave this place around 12.30 so we have no time to wait for them to open.

Luckily our task not included trying out the service of the spa, and the Japanese Tea Ceremony, if not sure we need to get 4.30pm van to come back. I cannot stay there any longer, the Japanese garden looks even worst than small garden behind our house.

Cannot find any interesting activities in this hill, so not worth to drive 45mins from KL up to here. Some more have to pay RM 10 (Adult) or RM 8 (Children) for the entrance fees, plus some other charges for the place like Japanese Village or Rabbit Farm.

About the service of the hotel where we stayed, will share it in the post after this, because it will be the MOST WORST hotel that I ever stay.

(Photo will update later ya...)

Bukit Tinggi Day One

Done my work for today. Weather for tonight in Bukit Tinggi not so cold. Spent half day in this small place already felt boring, luckily tomorrow can go back de.

This afternoon around 3.30 reached here, after check in then we start our shooting. Spent one hour in french castle, no performance, just building, i expect more than that. Spent most of our time to just wait for the shutter bus, every hour once, to travel from our hotel, Berjaya Hill Golf and Country Club, to Cormal Tropicane.

Tomorrow will visit the japanese village before we go back to KL. That will be the last place we will visit for this trip.

(This post actually written during the night in Bukit Tinggi but because without 3G coverage so I cannot send out this email.)

Day without a Plan

Another great day to get stuff.

The first time I am shopping inside the shopping center whereby I seldom go, and only passed by few times in my life – Ampang Park. This morning company Cheryl to do medical checkup. She needs to do the x-ray scanning in one of the x-ray center inside this shopping center, a very old style shopping center.

I’m not planning to do shopping here but since not thing to do while waiting for her, just walk around, make me come to this camera shop next to the small escalator. I really cannot believe that I can get what I look for so long, actually not for myself but for my partner, Jane. She’s looking for a new camera bag for a long time, a bigger bag to fit in most of her stuff. The bag that we’d bought together one year before this not enough to fit our tools de, so we both need a new one.

Actually I found the bag that I want too but I didn’t bought it, because it costs me a lot, RM380. I know the bag is good but only giving a chance to get the better one or the one with better price. Maybe after this when I really cannot get the one better than that I’ll go back to that shop to get it.

Didn’t get the bag doesn’t mean not thing for myself today. All the way drive from KLCC to SS2, just to get a new monopod, another tool that I need for my coming trip, to solve the problem of bringing the tripod for a trip.

+++++++++++++++++

Wings Café

This the first time we take our dinner at this Wings Café in Kuchai Lama. After they closed down the food court in Kuchai Lama,no reason for me to come to this area anymore. I don’t know so many restaurants open in this area, but now I know a place to hang out after this.

The atmosphere at this restaurant very comfortable and the service very good, only the food take a little bit too long to be ready.

(Some photos will post out after this. Forget to bring back my card reader so cannot transfer the photos back to the computer…)

A good day to hang out with friends. Lunch with Cheryl, Alex, Jason and Frankie. Dinner with Cheryl, Cheryl’s housemate and Pikey.

Again

Last night received a call from Jimmy, once again he called to help him settle something about Felda. This time he wants me to go to Sabah again and settle the complaint from the customer. This coming Saturday will take a morning flight to Sabah, and will come back to KL on Monday afternoon.

The reason he wants me to go there beside of settle the problem, he wants me to make sure all the paperwork done before hand it back to HQ. This not the first time he wants me to do so, remember last trip to Jengka, I spent the whole night just to ready what he wants, and hand it to him on time. Sometimes just too bad to let people know the skill you have…

This makes me not staying at branch for more than two days in a week. Still many things to do in branch, but I got no choice, must do this first, since it’s more urgent than others. Now I wish that everything will be fine, and hope that can settle the problem.

I’m sure that this will not be the last project to settle for, because I heard from Jimmy that he will gets some new project from Yayasan Felda, there will be few big project to do. I’m not involve in the small project, because some other people will handle that. (no paperwork needed for the small project)

=====================================

Talk about the movie – M-O-H (Made of Honour). I love this movie, this afternoon watch it with SK, cannot join others group to watch it at Pavilion, so watch it on that same day, same movie, but different place and time.

I love the part when Tom talks with Hannah, after the kiss in the pub, that moment only he tries to tell what is inside him, but too bad he cannot get the trust from Hannah. In real life, a bit hard for me to tell the truth when I facing with someone I loved, just like Tom.

The story line always can be so romantic when it in the movie, just wish that it could be happen in part of my love story. :P *Day Dreaming…

Oh ya, talk about the service at this Wisma Rampai. This morning fetch Jr. to do his passport, then we never expect that the service is damn good, not saying that the service in that department is good but the service for the people who take photo and fill-in the form.

We make two three round at that building to get parking, and one of the lady who holding the advertisement of ready the passport size photo in 3mins direct us to get parking. I tell Jr. must let this lady to do some business then, in less than 10mins, we finished up everything, ready the documents, the forms and the photos.

In one hour, Jr. get his new passport, then we go… wish that the day can get more sales with her good service skill…

Story of the Chopsticks

Today I got a very important work, there is to bring WILL to walk around in KL. Since today I’m free and I’d finished most of the work for my tough mission, then just spend sometimes with WILL around the city.

WILL requested to have one photography session with him, to take his photo in the city. I still remember WILL have this nice photo on his Facebook and Friendster, and I find out that one of his friend also a photographer, some more he is more to portrait photo. I don’t know what to do, and not sure will my skill can reach what WILL request for.

Just to try my best, take some photo in the KLCC park, but the hot weather almost kill me, I can feel my whole body was sweat, even inside… We took not more than 20 photos, and then I give up and ‘run’ into SURIA KLCC.

Forget to tell about where I bring this white guy to eat. We had our lunch in Crystal Jade Lamen Restaurant in Lot 10. Just to try out the Lamen and the dumpling in the restaurant. So funny to look at a white guy using the pair of chopsticks.

We had a good time to chat at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in KLCC, that time actually taking a break after the ‘hot photography session’ in the park.

Dinner we went to this Korean Restaurant in Mid Valley, another place to use the chopsticks for meal. :P I just try to bring WILL to some places that he seldom go, but what come out in mind all is the restaurant using chopsticks. I think WILL may think that I’m making fun with him… :P

This the first time WILL visit Mid Valley and The Garden, I’m not sure what this white guy think about our one of the most famous shopping center in town.

A simple day, just walking around the city, without car cannot bring WILL to some other places like Putrajaya, or walk around in the few park in KL, like Titiwangsa Lake. Maybe next time.

PARTY TIME

This year SG X’mas decoration not as good as I thought, when the time I reach Orchard Rd, the only thing get my attention will be the Christmas tree in front Paragon. The main decoration on the Orchard Rd, the junction in front of HMV really sucks. Some more this few days keep on raining in this City of Lion, the rain stop me from walking down the road.

For the decoration inside each of the shopping mall even worst. Wisma Artia set this stage which facing the shops (forget what shops…), when the time you standing there to enjoy the performance of the caroling, the security guard will ask you to not standing in front of the shops and don’t block the way. They should set the stage to facing the customer service counter so that people got more space to stand there.

HMV didn’t do much decoration for the stage but they do got this nice traditional caroling at every 3 and 5pm. Takashimaya set a Christmas tree in the lobby but not thing special with it, just a ordinary tree full with yellow light.

Tangs also got this stage in front the main door, which is blocking the whole way, no matter you come from Scott Rd or Lucky Plaza.

I finished up the shooting with less than 150 shots.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why people like party? Do you really enjoy the party?

The day before went to the Legend with my friends, Tom and Ken. As usual, they ordered two bottles of Chivas, plus another unfinished bottle which they leave it the day before.

Legend didn’t make me feel so enjoy since they got no stage for any performance, not like the Why Not before this. Plus, their karaoke system not as good as Why Not too. They way they manage the selection of the songs really sucks. A small single pub which cannot fit more than 50 tables, but the screen shows that the next song is for table 82… then 83… coming up with 85… but there always the same guy who holding the mic and sing.

When the time we complaint to the lady boss, only they insert a song for us in advance, but the problem is, the other table with mad with us, not the guy from table no 82-85, but us… WTF…

The whole night sitting here and finished two bottles of Chivas, but sang less than 6 songs. Why not we just pay less than the price of the Chivas to sing at the KTV? The bosses in this pub only ask you to drink, and drink, and drink… This will be the PR skill in this pub. They visit each of the table, doing the same thing.

@@@@@@@

This night after the dinner and shopping in Orchard, I join other friends to St James Power Station. This night they got this Christmas Party here. We started to queue from 11pm, after 2 hours only we can go in to the party. Inside the party we met with the boss from Legend (Every Sunday the Legend will close).

Actually this party really nice and enjoyable, but just too crowded. You can’t even sit well on your seat, the people pass by will cause fall from the chair.

Too many eye candies here, as what my friend said, if tonight some anti-gay society bomb this place, then more than 50% of the PLU in SG will die here. They set it at Sunday night for the PLU night and make party on this day, smart!

Do I enjoy the party? NOT AT ALL. The party is fun, but not for me… the only thing I like is that the atmosphere in the party is clear from the smoke. This is why I only go to the pub and disco in SG but not in KL. Six month before this SG pub just same as KL, everyone smoking inside, now the law prohibited them to smoke in building. Good for the non-smoker.

Hot-Spot

This morning went for a photography session with my best friend – Jane, to this Jalan Raja Chulan. Just try to see what can we get on the way to KL Tower. We’re looking for the different angle of the Twin Tower so that we can get some nice shots for it. Too many people taking the photos for this ‘Corn-Tower’, it’s hard to get something different (photos).

Sunny day, good weather for photographer to take photos. In the other way, I hate the sun, cause it make me sweat like...

After finished the session then we come to this new spot in the town – Pavilion. I think most of the blogger visited before me, so not thing to talk about this shopping mall. I only can afford to pay for the transport to reach here but not for me to shopping in it.

Too many shopping more open one shot, all consumer too busy to visit all new shopping mall and compare it. Compare the design, compare the shops they have, compare this, and compare that. Is that really good for our economic; or it just make it worst for the business of other shopping mall?

I get not thing from Pavilion, then I go back to some places that I afford to buy something – BTS. Watch The Detective [more] in BTS to get some rest after few hours walk in Bukit Bintang side.

Walk out from the cinema and find out that Popular Book Store having this book fair in BTS and I just see what can I get from it.

This is what I get…

Basic Photography

This actually an old edition but inside got some point is what we looking for, so Jane and me get it as a reference for our study. After discount only RM15++, good deal.

Secret for the nice coffee

I like coffee and I did collect for the recipe how to ready the nice coffee. This is what I get for my collection.

Detective Conan DVD Part I and II

Oh I love this anime, last time I forget where I stopped so I just buy it.

Damn tired after the whole day activities. QR asked me to join them for movie and dinner but I can’t make it since I really need some rest before I continue the day. One and a half hour short nap really works. I take a nap before I meet the queers in Pavilion (Pavilion again, really the hot-spot in KL).

Janvier really 'can' EAT…

Before I meet with them actually they (QR, Janvier and Jason Jr.) had their at this Rain Nudle, when the time I meet these guys, they waiting me at this Yo Donuts, they finished one box of donuts (6pcs), but Janvier still feel empty in his stomach.

Since I still haven’t take anything for my dinner so I just follow them to Jalan Alor for the Chicken wings, Ikan Bakar and Satay.

Finished the supper Janvier feel like want to go to somewhere else. After the discussion is done, we go to the 24hours Mc D in Setiawangsa. He finished a regular and a small fries by himself, plus two glasses of soft drink. Walau…

This night ended after we bought some mint candy.

Good night. Sleep early for tomorrow photography session with Alex and others.

What Happened to the Chef?

Why you must charge such an expensive price??? XP This is what I shout inside when the time I saw the bill from the waiter.

RM563.30 for 10 paxs… What the… some more we so disappointed with the taste of the foods. I think Sam was right, maybe the chef is muslim so he cannot taste the food, then we get the bad taste food. Remember don’t go for the restaurant during the Puasa month if you know the man in the kitchen is muslim. =P

What’s wrong with the food? Anyone can explain it to me?

Anyway, we did enjoy the time we spent in the restaurant. Just like the previous ‘orgy’, we spent about 3-4 hours in the restaurant, with the endless topics and cannot control ourselves to make a lot noise in it. This restaurant will be too silent it without our present. We make too much noise till I can’t remember that did they put any music or not.

Very happy to receive the text message from William that he’s enjoy with our company. When the time I just walk into the restaurant I saw his face so tired and I’m so worry that he cannot fully enjoy the party.

At the end, the other way rounds whereby me myself cannot stand for it. I’m so tired and I feel that I got the symptoms getting sick. This morning I woke up with a bit of sore throat and dizzy too.

Cancel the dinner plan and just go back directly, take a nap then only clean up myself. Worry that the next day I can’t get up and work. If I really take MC then my staffs will say: David takes not enough off-days?? Now take MC some more… =S

Time to take some rest.

Sing some more

Saturday just finished a K-session but last night I did another one. This round is the gathering of me and my classmate.

This was Chinese K-session (99% Mandarin and Cantonese songs). We start to sing at 12am till 4am… Damn tired…

This time we sing at Neway Damansara One Utama. I think there service is even better than Red box in the Curve and Low Yat cause 6 of us taking a middle room but in this room we can have 4 mic and toilet in the room. That day when we in the VIP room in Low Yat we shared 3 mic in a big room. Where got enough…

The charge was a bit high where by we pay RM 35 @ for the 4 hours, come with 2 drinks.

Talk about the parking in One Utama, if you really want to go for Karaoke you can just park in front of Neway Karaoke at 5^th floor. The parking in 1-U too small, it cant even fit well for a Myvi. I think they designed it for Kancil only.

So next round when we wanna go for a K-session again then we can choose Neway at 1-U. Try all the branches then only you know which is better. Sometimes we can even know which room is good and which room got problem in terms of sound system or the condition of the room.

Next round I wanna try out the new branch in Subang, near to Subang Section 15.

Reached home around 4.30am… slept around 5… now I’m so sleepy… how I gonna stand to work until 9.30pm… wanna sleep liao… miss my lovely bed… miss my w**-dream…

Holiday~Holiday~Holiday (Part 2)

Holiday Continue to share something on my holiday in SG

Movie…

In this few days I watched 3 movies in SG. My Wife is Gangster 3, The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros and Die Hard 4.0.

My Wife is Gangster 3 – 3 and a half stars

The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros – 2 stars

Die Hard 4.0 – 3 stars

My Wife is Gangster 3 – I watch it in SG cause in Malaysia only available in Cathay Cineleisure Damansara.

The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros – this movie still haven’t up to the screen in Malaysia. I’m so disappointed with it cause the storyline not as well as I thought. What I can comment are the movie is sucks, damn boring, make me sleepy.

Die Hard 4.0 – Action too perfect. The man didn’t take any meal and not even a single drop of water for the whole daylong. You walk, you run, you talk and you fight, I don’t think you still can run if you never take anything. Superman meh???

Bag…

In this trip I get myself a gym bag. Actually I get it but my friend pay for it, my birthday gift. Eva want me to choose it then she will pay me back cause she knows I’m so fussy.

Bad news…

This morning only I know that my housemate bought the same bag. Tamade… Why… Wanna get another one… :’(

Eye-Candy @ MRT

On the second day in SG, I went out myself to meet with my friend somewhere in Orchard Rd. Before I reach City Hall, I just play game with my Ipod. When the time I waiting to change another train, few white guys stand behind me and they heading to the same way.

These three guys so funny cause they making fun after they saw one uncle on the train wear his pant so high. So naughty.

There got a lot of eye-candy in MRT no matter white guys or Asian. That’s why next time when you inside the MRT or LRT don’t only play with your PSP or some other devices, pay some attention to the one sit or stand beside you. Take some shoots and share if you can do it.

My funny friends…

Suet Mee -

As I told you all that this trip I gonna celebrate my friend’s birthday. She is my church member and I did intro her to POD when the time we went out for dinner. She asked me a question, before she asks she sound so funny and shy to ask.

Suet Mee: “Emmm… mmm… mmm… David… actually I got a question for you… mmm… this question actually I wanna ask you few years before, but… I just wanna get the correct answer from you… actually someone told me but… just wanna make sure… mmm… (explanation for her question… it takes her about 5-10mins to finish this statement)”

Me: (continue look what on the rack, pretend not listening to what she talking) “…”

SM: (continue explain) “nah… you must answer me oh… I want you answer me honestly. No matter what is your answer I still will support you… ” (still no question come out but I know what she wanna ask…)

Me: “then??? What you wanna ask???” (still looking for something that I don’t know what I’m looking for)

SM: “Emmm… Are you GAY???… actually this I wanna ask you… (started to repeat what she said just now and keep on the “mmm” and “ahhh”…)

Me: “ooh… What make you think that I’m gay?”

SM: “nothing la… only they suspect you are… then I just wanna ask since we so close. I just wanna know… if you really (gay)… then I still can accept but…”

Something stopped me to answer her question. I try to know what make her felt that way.

After that another friend join us for the celebration then she said she would ask me some other time.

Two days later I meet her again, after I answer her question I thought that she will ask me a lot of question but she didn’t, she just said: “just wanna know why make you to change if you really (gay)…”

She thought that she get the confirm answer from me but after that I make her confuse again. At last she still can’t really confirm that I am gay or not.

POD –

This guy I really want to spank him. On Monday afternoon I received his SMS that he said this day he would be rushing for something and cannot join us for dinner. I told this to Derek and Derek give him a call when the time we reach the restaurant near his office.

Derek told me that POD actually heading to Sei-Yu but not in the office. (-_-lll)

I told POD, next time no matter what reason he give me I don’t think I’ll believe it anymore. This guy rushing to go back and done his work or rushing to shopping???

The Currency Exchange Rates…

Another 12 more days I’ll go to BKK, for sure I need to change some money to go for my shopping plan. In Malaysia the exchange rate really low. RM 1 to 8 Thai Baht. Last time RM1- 10Tbaht.

I changed it at SG since the rates is 1SGD to 22.10 thai baht. I changed RM 1k and I’ll bring another RM500 to BKK in case I finish the 10000 baht then I need to change more. Next two weeks I can start my shopping time at BKK.

Work another few more days then I’ll start on leave again. Now I only prepare myself for the trip but not prepare myself back to work... Hehehe...
