Reminder to self: 1) Kynan promises to give me a Tupperware set as a wedding gift. 2) Remember to buy Kynan a nice set of quality kitchen utensils set when he gets married.
Knew i said that i'd write up on Genting the day after, but having to juggle work responsibilities, uni registration and social commitments did not help the fact that i was already tired like a goat. So anyway, yeah was in Genting for 3 days and 2 nights.. fcken hyped on the way up but after the first day and a few hours in the casino..
KAUPE.
o_O"
Enough explanation right.
Heh heh heh.
I'm a bit lazy to describe Genting.. because as of now, i am still holding a grudge against Uncle Lim and his 'family resort'. .
So i am gonna boycott everything Genting till 24 hours before i finally plan another visit there and will only post a few pics.
Nyeh.
Hrm.
Ok. Apparently i can't upload em photos.
You see.
Even Blogspot is on my side to not terrorize you people to the pull of the highlands.
Eh cannot say so much later i get sued for defamation. Can happen one you know. Mai si sua lai. Mo seng seng. Don't play play.
Genting is fantastic. The ideal holiday destination for the whole family to have some good wholesome enjoyment, yes. Whoopee. Yay. I heart Genting more than i heart Penang. Yipee. Ok lame, but if you dont catch the sarcasm, you can jump down from the next highrise building nearest to you. Goodbye.
Ok, i know i've been saying time and time again that im in Penang only for the food.. hell, i even did research months before the trip to gather info on which area had the best of certain Penang hawker fare.. even wrote a list man *smirk*.
I apologize first for the lack of pictures of the food because (as always) i get overly excited when i reach the destination and when i manage to find the correct coffee shop or stall and when the food arrives that i just gobble them all up and forget to take a picture.
Hee hee.
Sorry ah.
I realised the only pictures i have that are somewhat related to food is the venue itself :P.
This is the famed Gurney Drive which was a whole road of stalls dedicated to just hawker fare.. about a hundred stalls selling food ranging from assam laksa, penang char kway teow, lok lok, moi chee (some dessert which looks like mee suah and an old man's beard hehe), oh chien (oysters in omellette), rojak, chendol, wanton noodles and hell loads more. damn packed even on a monday night. imagine saturdays and sundays. o_O"
This is one of the lau ah pek who mans the
Penang Laksa stall by the road atBras Basah below the Kek Lok Si temple which many confirmed produced the best penang laksa around. hee. the uncle a bit camera shy. :D the laksa was so good i almost cried of happiness.. REJOICE! :D
PS: Genting updates tomorrow k . tired like a goat now.
Okay, the whole intention of going to Penang was to rest after the hectic shopping (or lack thereof) in KL and to recuperate and rejuvenate before being a millionaire intense gambling in Genting. However the main main main main reason of going to Penang too was to rekindle my love of Penang hawker fare.. i was born in Penang and moved to Sarawak when i was 5 and my last visit back to the island was about like 10 years ago. I was about to meet my long lost love, the Penang Laksa again!
So we were in Penang for 2 night and the 1st night we checked into a beachfront hotel and spent the day frolicking on the beach super confidently in my bikini despite the huge belly and tofu thighs because i knew all the other girls cant because they're in their burqas!
Ha ha.
Despite reviews on the state of the beaches in Penang, i found it to be very pleasant indeed with clear cloudy skies (i like em cloudy instead of sunny) and calm water and (almost) white sand.. The hotel i was staying in even had horse rides on the beach le.. damn romantic right.. imagine riding off into the sun with your knight in shining armour on a white horse.... wahhhhh..
but the horse was brown.
and the knight in shining armour is SO un-knightlike.
Cheh. so overrated that fairytale ending.
I was told that the island in the distance is called Pulau Tikus (Mouse Island [!!!]) because of its miniscule size, and not because it was filled with rats as i had thought. Heh heh.
Like my Brazil jersey? hee hee. I do too. :P
Day 2, Penang
The next day we checked out of the beach hotel and checked into the Northam All Suites nearby Gurney Drive which is in the town area. This hotel is really to rave about man. The published rate was 600++ for the cheapest suite (all units are suites) but there was a promo which had the Studio Suite only going for RM200++. I loved it i loved it i loved it. I booked this hotel because it came with its own private jacuzzi in the bathroom.. nyeh heh heh. >:D
Upon checking in, we were served with welcoming drinks at the reception.. i thought it was champagne or at least had some alcohol in it because this is a business hotel and very adult-ish so i walloped the whole glass one go..
Cheh.
Apple juice.
Sparkling and bubbly one some more.
Buat syiok only.
So anyway, i was so excited about the jacuzzi that i forgotten to take pictures of the living room, the business cum study area, and the guest toilet.. so i ended up with pictures of the bed and the bathroom. heh heh. sorry a. The bathroom and bedroom area was really cool though cos it had what seemed like a glass window separating it, but was actually just a blind which when drawn up, was just a big huge hole through the wall. I could watch my tv while lying in the jacuzzi too man. Service was so good, we had the hotel calling up once in the day and once at night to check if we needed anything.. Tips given were a bomb tho. However, it was bliss i tell you, bliss :)
Ok la. Call me sakai ok. But * i * personally think its one of the best hotels i've stayed in. Hrmpf.
Oh ya oh ya oh ya.
The pool..! The hotel had an infinity pool and it was on the 9th floor if i remember correctly.. ah, beautiful view. :D but a few SPGs. >:(
Being at the edge of the infinity pool made me feel like i could just drop of the building. Hee.. song.
Well anyway, because besides hunting for good food, we had nothing much to do so it was only natural to visit famous landmarks around Penang namely the temples.. Im not a very big fan of temples but Kelvin is .. or so he claims.
We went to the Kek Lok Si, the famed pagoda and wahlau . buy this buy that donate this donate that = empty wallet. But it was worth the taxi fare (freakin cab overcharged us jz cos we were stayin at the Northam.. knowing this because we were overpriced the whole trip in Penang by cabs and even busses because we were tourists!) and the climb to the top because the view was breathtakingly beautiful and the statues amazing..
Happy looking tortoises in a happy looking pond on the way up .. :D
Ok, dont ask me about these statues ah, cos i don't know their names. and dont tell me i'm a bad person for not knowing. Smack you one ah.
I realised that out of all 3 trips to KL that i took in the time span of half a year, this was the most upsetting one because i have spent the most this time around, but realised i acquired the least.
I think it must have been sales season and all the odd sizes of clothes and shoes were laid out instead of new collections so they can fcken get rid of the old stuff.
hrmpf.
Note to self: Never go holidaying in KL mid year because of Mega Sales and Singapore because of Great Singapore Sales.
Stupid stupid stupid. (sorry ah, i still not so advanced to change font size. hee.)
You see, i didn't even pay for hotel. Or cab rides. Or food.
But i still negative le. why why why. i shall take some time to analyze my holiday spendings again later. hrmpf.
Oh i did pay once for food.. it was a spur of the moment kinda splurge.. heehee. Kelvin and i were all dressed up so nicely and we were at Bukit Bintang with hungry stomach longing for good quality food.. we went to Sg Wang intending to go to Marche, hoping it was just like the one you can find in Singapore and with an alternative in Penang called the Food Loft where once you enter, you are presented with a food list card thingie and there are several stations in the whole restaurant ranging from Italian to Japanese cuisine and you go up there, place your order, get your card thingie stamped and return it to the cashier once you leave to get your bill calculated. I tried the one at Singapore and teh food was great with a good concept and all.
But alas,
After rummaging through what seemed like never ending small alleys with Kelvin trudging behind, we were told by the information counter that Marche closed down. Stupid Cleo stated it was there in Green zone third floor! Stupid.
And then, we went to several fancy ( we were in the mood ) eateries but they were all either closed or full.
We finally ended up having the last table at Piccolo Mondo in front of the Piccolo building right next to Planet Hollywood at KL Plaza and Lot 10 after recommendations from Amos and despite the (shocking) prices, it was a meal worth the money. :)
We had err, Caesar Salad, Fettucine Bappe, Spaghetti Marinara in Garlic Sauce, and Prawns and Scallops (only 2 scallops tho, KIAMSIAP i tell you) cooked with Lemon Grind and some kinda sauce but i forgotten the actual name of this dish and it was good good good good good! So good its worth raving about even when this is not a foodie blog. ;)
Very very song look. Nyeh heh heh. But when the bill came, not very song anymore.
So anyway, i went to KL and guess what.. it was a sea of penguins!
Okay, technically, not literally.
It was summer in the middle east and the whole place was filled with burqa wielding Arabs!
At the Marriott, even the bellboy claimed that the April - Aug months, all he saw were black and no skin. Heh heh heh. Even reception said the hotel was filled with 90% occupancy of Arab tourists.
But these Arabians had good spending power man.. i saw one with Burberry sandals and a matching Burberry umbrella!
And there was one with a Gucci tote, and struggling with another Gucci, Versace, Chloe, Lacoste, Dior and Blumarine (not in the same order, but may be exaggerating a slight bit :P) shopping bags trying to get into the lift at the Marriot.
Even in Penang, the whole of the hotel's beachfront were filled with Black burqas.
KFC and McD's in Genting had mostly Arabs occupying most tables.
0.O"
I felt like a foreigner.
Target spotted in Bukit Bintang!
Rare species of black bodied turtles lying on the beach? Oh. Just the Arabs. My bad, sorry. :D
Ever seen an Arab in a burqa on a jetski? ....................................................... ................................................. .......................................... .................................... .............................. ........................ ................... .............. .......... ....... .... .. .
Hee. :D
Eh but i was nosy enough to peer intently into whatever part of the body of these burqa wearing Arabs that i could lay my eyes on which were not covered by their veils and i was left with the eyes and part of the bridge of the nose and these women should be given more credit man.. they're like, gorgeous with those deep set kohl lined eyes and thick volumised eyelashes with high bridges on their nose..
Hrm.
Maybe under all that, would be some amazingly beautiful hottie with a pornstar-ish figure.
No wonder their men didn't mind walking around and being seen with them albeit their penguin/ninja/wanton like appearance because at the end of the day, they know that they're the ones who's shagging dating the hot ladies, unfolding in the bedroom! :D
So like, sorry for the lack of updates.. as u all might guess from the previous post, i went for a (VERY much needed) holiday to KL, Penang and Genting (stupid genting). Not a person of much words but more to action, this is the verdict to sum up the entire holiday cos i know some of you are very nosy and i'm too lazy to repeat myself.
- 4 nights in KL, 2 nights in Penang, 2 nights in Genting. - Dress size = +2, jeans size = +1 - State of current savings account = Negative. - Probable Genting Sales Profits = +0.000009999999 - Debtor = +Self - Clothes cupboard = +0.001, Shoe rack = +1000000 - Broken phone = 1, LG Chocolate = Nil. - Holiday STDS ( ha ha.) = Nil (phew.) - Holiday illness = Nil (surprisingly) - New acquaintances = +2.9999999 (Namely Amos's wife, Amos's pet daughter, and 0.99999 referring to loads of cab drivers. hee hee.)
I have to check in at 3 different hotels for 3 consecutive days, each day.
Eurgh, the Bukit Bintang area is just so overrated (Sour grape, sour grape!).
And the cutest thing is, all these hotels are just beside and across the street from each other (Capitol Hotel, The Royale Bintang & Radius International).
Ha ha.
Imagine seeing me lugging huge suitcases from one hotel to another beside it and the next day, across the street. "o_0
The truth (or so i think) behind the Zidane vs Materazzi action.
Ooooooh oooooh!
I think i might be doing the other 2 billion people worldwide who were watching the World Cup finals between France and Italy a favour when i say,
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT, ZIDANE?"
Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh.
At first i thought it was caused by Zizou's plan to retire right after the 2006 worldcup.
And then i thought maybe he was tired and also (slightly?) injured and he wanted out of the game but not being able to bring the words out from his mouth to France's manager.
After that i thought maybe he didn't give a flying fck anymore with the game going on and on, on and on, and on and on..
I mean like, for such an incredible (and drop dead gorgeous as well) player who have had yeaaaaaaaars of experience in football international level to commit such a low-level act in front of billions and also during the finals where his nation's hopes were all on him?
Unimaginable.
However, i read from an article that apparently Materazzi had provoked Zizou to commit such a heinous act (in football, anyway) by making racial remarks at Zizou in Italian. Zizou being very chapalang with Arabian and African blood in him, actually understood what was said and decided on that historical headbutt. Heh heh id like it to call a head though.. Zidane gave a historical head to Materazzi.
Oh wait.
That sounded SO gay.
Ok, sorry. Wrong channel.
Well anyway, i guess that explains it all.. respect and loads more admiration (and love! :P) to Zidane for that move but a whack on the head for the stupidity of it all.
Hee hee. Zidane gives good head. OoOOoOOoOo.. kinky.
For the utterly bored, there's a game which i think that all Zidane lovers would just love to play.. i know i did. Ha ha.
p.s: Zidane gives good head, girls *winks* .Ill miss him tho.
- U P D A T E - I was just told by Floyd that Gucci is from Italy as well.. and upon checking, it is! (gasp!) and i always thought it was made in France.. pfft.. and i call myself a Gucci fan. Double pfft..
Fine. I will boycott everything Italiano EXCEPT designer handbags.
And so i just came back from Labuan (ptui!) which was such a drag (no offence.) after being there for 3 days and came back on a Saturday.. really gotta thank my mom for being so hip to understand that any sane person who has a social life intact just CANNOT stay in an island like that... and coincedentally, my darlings Mich and Irene were down from Brunei with the rest of the guys .. hurraahhh! :D
Ah, let me tell u that days of being shitface bored in Labuan made me appreciate Miri SO much, small as it is.. We went to Balcony (but of course) and it was great fun i guess..
Hee hee.. went to powder our noses at the toilet with Mich and oops somebody got weak in the knees after that.. hehehee.. go figure go figure! :D So here are the pics :)
The hot chicas (L-R) Nie, Leen, Jo, Reen, Alisa, Leen's sis
MY DARLING MICHIE! ooOoOoOOoOo I missed you babe :)
Bailin and i actually had the same top on just diff colours.. what can i say.. great minds think alike, ho ho ho. Ok fine, this is what happens when you shop in KL. :/
Football fever must have been been the sole reason to be blamed for luring me to Al Fresco to watch the quarter finals match for Germany vs Argentina.. hehe ok lah i admit it i was hiaw also la didnt have anything to do on a Friday night and saw all those balloons and bouncer set up at Al Fresco.. so a group of us went to watch the match and i was all for Germany (WAHOOoooOoo Ballack!). The match only started at 11 and we were there at like 9.30 and the place was already filled with people with the Hotlink promo goin on and shiet too..
I guess it was boredom that led me to purchase a new sim pack which was DIRT CHEAP i tell you cos i wanted to join the competition Hotlink was having and also because i am undeniably the reigning freebie hunter for this age group ha ha. With every purchase of a new 012 simpack, customers were entitled to a few free gifts (pen, posters and shiet which i inevitably forgotten to take home.. bah) and also stand a chance to enter a lucky draw which had a new Samsung 3G phone for grabs.. the lucky draw involved a competition where participants were given 10 tries to kick a football into the goal..
Sounds easy right?
Thats what i thought too..
Until i got Carl to enter it for me.
Cheh.
Play cheat one.
Was damn difficult okay!
The "goal" that participants were supposed to kick the ball at was actually a soft piece of poster with a few MINISCULE holes cut on it which the football was supposed to be kicked THROUGH.. not AT. Damn misleading i tell you.
I was told that there was a guy who managed to net 4 goals and i thought, "hey easy one lah .. Carl could probably do a 6".
And once again, i learned never to speak too soon.
Carl scored..
.......
.............
..................
......................
............................
Nil.
Ha ha.
Ok so like, fine.
And i tried to pull Ismail to do it another time and even intended to purchase another sim pack but he refused.. cheh. I heard a guy purchased 10 simpacks ah.. that must have cost him like 80 bucks and he had 100 chances to kick.. but donno if he went or not or it was just a token of charity..
Oh, no offence and all, but the promo girls are wayyyyyy below the standard of what promo girls should look like.. ok i know i sound bitchy but ha ha you guys should know that i am. but seriously la even for a pervert like me who enjoys looking at species of the same sex, i didnt even want to look twice as those girls let alone take a picture of em to post it here to satisfy your Hidden Horny Creature (HHC once again! :D). Im actually doing you a huge favour man. Wahlau the girls all fat fat one i think even Rining would look better than em in skirts.
Oh and i guess the only thing i enjoyed about the whole promo thing was to get our faces painted in the flags of teams that we supported.. i had Germany on my arm, while Karen (traitor you :P) had Argentina and Carl had England painted on his face.. so kulup one the England match is the next day.. but then again.. i guess we cant really critisize an enthusiastic fan :D
Oh btw, the match came to a draw but Germany won during the penalty shoot out.. oh oh and the England vs Portugal just ended AND MAN IT WAS A DISGRACE! I had my money on England and aiyah dont wanna talk about it anymroe man.. LOSE LOSE LOSE in penalty shoot out.. fcken british footballers overrated.. ergh..make me lose a handphone.. chibai.
I finally agree that girls should be left at shopping and not football gambling.
Anyway, moving on to bullying again, i went out cruising in the evening because the weather was hell beautiful and i went to look for Kynan who was at the indoor stadium watching our former school's brass band practice their formation for an upcoming competition thingie.. it took hell loads of persuasion from Kedungs and Heather to get me into the stadium after i found out what was going on inside.. haha.. okay, i DID feel a tinge of embarassment to be there because like, ITS BAND man.. BAND BAND BAND !
Band with all those geeks that i LOVED to pick on back when i was still in high school..
Band with all those stupid formations that i used to love to throw banana skins and paper aeroplanes at when they were practicing on the field..
Band with all their headbraces and shoulderbraces and stupid corny music..
Just simply, band with all those OVER ENTHUSIASTIC members..
Gawd.. its BAND man..
But then again.. i grew up.
Putting my ego and pride aside, i went in to watch..
and man, they were actually good. They had all these complicated moves and formations mastered while still playing their instruments without a script man..
Which actually made me kinda wonder and look back at myself..
Such a bitch huh.. wont dwell anymore.. but i guess like me, these people were just misunderstood.. they were doing things that even i could not even do and yet i made SO much fun of them before.. was it out of admiration because i knew that i couldnt do those shit they did.. or was it because it was just er cool to make fun of people.. nah.. dont think so man.. i think i was just bored and mean.
So with this post, id like to apologize to all those band geeks th- oh. umm.. let me rephrase.. band members (hee hee) that i have ever picked on. 5 years back. hee. yes. Sorry. ok. Dont rub it.
I am awed and dumbfounded by some of the things that kids are capable of doing nowadays.
Compared to my time (which was not so long ago, fiy. hmpf), we never did stuff as extreme like this.
Most of you would have heard of the bashing case a few days ago by female students of Stjoe (which was in fact my former shithole of a school) where they were hurling abuses, slapping (at one point even with a leather belt) and kicking this other mousey girl.. Gawd, this incident was so huge, it even appeared on the front page of The Star..
I mean, i don't wanna sound like my mom, but fuck.. back in my days, we never did stuff like this.. the most we would do would be a slap and a string of abuses.. that's it.. ahem, ok maybe a few more shoving and hair pulling, but never kicking and using leather belts man (So SM btw, kinky! :D). *cough* ok i would know best because i actually loved bullying vulnerable little kids back in my days.. it was actually one of the reasons that would make me look forward to waking up and going to school.. to see if there were any more people for me to bully.
MUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAAAAAAA HA HA HA ha ha.
ahem.
Okay, looking back, i wasn't proud of it because those days were carefree ones where our actions were careless and we never thought of the consequences.. and boy, were there consequences.. some even coming back to haunt you years later..
Take a look at the video please.. i mean like, i couldnt help but feel angered and disgusted man.. i mean like. . WAHLAU EH.. that victim of a girl should fight back man.. show a bit of those samurai moves man .. what i think is she should come to me.. heh heh id love to teach her a couple of tricks :D
Times like this, we should ask ourselves.. what have our world come to.
Tsk tsk.
Okay, i sound like an old fossil talking. I have a reputation to keep!
Okay, i know it is a bit overdue to write a post on this but what the heck, i figured it'd be a good first post just to satisfy the Hidden Horny Creature (HHC) in us all. :D
So like, we threw a full blown party to celebrate Pimp Daddy Rining, Engineer Bodo Olga (Kynan said it, not me darlin ;P) and John Kalings (heard it somewhere, not me again :D) birthdays and also Josh's farewell back to Adelaide last Saturday (24th June). The theme for the night was Pornstars and Pimps (ahh, i can see the Hidden Horny Creature [HHC] in you peeking out its ugly head already) and man, it was pimpin all right.. it was considered a day when it was (in the words of Chris the sexaaaaaaay Marine or aka Sailormoon hehe) "Legal to be slutty". Amen to that. :D The organising committee (Yes, there was one!) have put a lot of effort into the planning and execution of the party and the end result was awesome.. i'll let the pictures speak for themselves aye :)
HHC pic :D
This is what we do to people who don't come according to theme..
Muahaha. The most enjoyable part of bein door bitch was sticking the nipple stickers :D
All my best girls (L-R) Sophia the Samurai wielding Mafia Chick, Chris the Sexay Marine, Wynn the Hot Army Babe, and yours truly the French Maid.
We even had international pimps :D
Naughtay Nurse Olgie (hehe), Pimpin Darren & Kinkay Teacher Jess (disciplinary i hope :D)
All my favourite people :)
