I am with no fashion sense

Last week i made a surprised trip back to Penang for Angeline’s birthday. She didn’t even believe i was back in Penang until i checked into the airport via foursquare. She was already on her way back when i arrived. I met up with her on Saturday and as usual i picked up whatever shirt i had on top of the pile to be worn.

Bad mistake.

When i was in her home waiting for her to get her things ready, she was all dressed up. I mean really really dressed up.

What i had on? A pair of jeans and a black shirt that says, Hard Rock Casino London.

“You are not walking with me in that hideous shirt!” she said.

She didn’t really say that actually lol. What she did say was, “Why are you wearing that cacat shirt? We are going out for my birthday right?”.

I felt bad.

“What if i drive back home and change into another shirt,” well that’s what i thought i should have said.

But instead …

“This shirt not nice? Ok we go to Gurney Plaza and i will buy a shirt on the spot” i said, thinking she would mellow down and suggest we might as well drive back to my house.

“Can can, like that easier. No need to waste time drive so far” she replied.

T.T

So we went to Gurney plaza and i had to make sure had sufficient cash in hand cause i rarely carry much. I saw a huge crowd at F.O.S and decided to try my luck there.

Me and my so called hideous shirt T.T

Angeline picked out 2 shirt for me to try and so here they are.

I know most of you are accustomed to seeing girls doing this camwhore-in-changing-room thingy and here i am doing the same -_-!

Nothing biggie but just to show you that how a shirt or in this case 2 shirts made the difference. I ended up having both. Haven’t really bought any for this year and so getting both wouldn’t kill me. Angeline voluntarily sponsored one of it. So nice.

Birthday girl getting present for me lol. The world is changing, definitely.

After that we had Sushi before watching Grown Ups which was simply hilarious !!!

We ended the day by playing Monopoly Deal with her family back at her home. Frankly speaking, this is one crazy game. It’s UNO + Monopoly. Fun fun fun.

Of course being new to the game, i got my ass whooped by everyone T.T

The night before that we actually tried the Korean food in Kim Gary and my verdict is 2 out of 5. I was basically eating fire -_-!

I could barely taste the food cause everything was hot. Fire hot, not chili hot.

Just outside of Queensbay is some capalang fun fair and we went there. When i was small, i used to go to Pesta Pulau Pinang where the fun fair was then the most ‘heng’ place to be. We would all go back to class and talk about the crazy rides and how ridiculous some of the ghost looked like.

This fun fair however was damn gila babi expensive.

1 bloody token cost RM 2.

Played a few games and then left. Rather spend the money in Gentings. Nevertheless, my trip back to Penang was quite spontaneous and we just couldn’t care less about complaining.

As to Angeline, Happy Happy Birthday!!! Well it’s belated now

P/S: Carried my DSLR everywhere and took all my shots with my iPhone. I have to force myself to use my DSLR soon, else it’s gonna collect dust.

Bali Day 4: Surfing at Kuta Beach & Bintang Beer Shirt

The next morning we had nothing planned. In fact we all woke up later than usual. Slowly had breakfast and walked the roads of Kuta town. Compared to Kuta’s bustling night life, their morning is totally different.

Shops were slowly being opened, owners offering their prayers for the day in the form of banana leaves folded into a container shape with bananas and flowers in it. Everywhere we went, we saw this offering in front of their shop regardless how big or small their premises were.

The main area looks rather dull in the morning.

The only thing left for us to do is to explore Kuta beach and that’s what all of us did. Initial plan was to wear Bali shirt with sarung. But i guess the sarung part was a bit too drastic lol

Our first impression of the beach was, WTH happened to it?

There were just piles of rubbish all over the place. Locals were all clearing up by hands. Probably the sea brought it to their shores unexpectedly.

We were then suddenly greeted by a jogger. Well he didn’t exactly greet us but probably asked us to move away, lol.

We continued strolling down the beach.

David caught red handed. Daniel and David got closer to get better shots of the surfer lol.

Getting lessons before going out to the sea for the 2nd time.

We then headed back to our hotel to pack. Before reaching, we walked around to those shops that are already opened. I was looking for a shirt to buy back but ended up buying Angeline a dress. The price at Kuta is slightly more expensive comparatively to Pasar Seni Sukawati. At least we don’t have to go through the tyrant that yelled at us.

I finally found the shirt that i wanted, a Bintang Beer shirt. Now that i have checked that off my to-buy list, we headed back.

We totally forgot about our welcome drink and got it before entering our room. It was more like a GoodBye drink ROFLMAO. This is the only proper photo i have of the pool in Oasis. Looks pretty awesome right ?!

Just like Redang, some girls were there sunbathing and they couldn’t be bothered with the amount of guys photographing them.

Not gonna post all the photos cause i found out kids are also reading my blog lol.

After packing we left for the airport.

Making our mark on Kuta beach.

At the airport, we took some crazy group shots with Yoga and our driver. I realized how everyone else were looking at us. Hahahaha.

Don’t forget to prepare 150,000 rupiah for their government tax. That works out to about RM 55.50. Without this sticker on your boarding pass, you wouldn’t be allowed to go through.

We had our lunch at the airport and the service was just damn slowwww. Better to have your lunch/dinner somewhere else before departing.

As we left Bali, i sighed in relief because this trip has given me the most headache even prior to the trip. The amount of people who tried to scam/cheat us. Thank God, everything worked in my favour. This is probably the last time i will be having 16 pax in a trip, though we finally had only 13.

On the way back to KL, i was already planning on the next trip which was to Philippines !!! We bought the tickets before this Indonesia trip and all that was left was the itinerary.

People get high on drugs, alcohol …. i get high planning for trips, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Bali Day 3: Ben Chong has a different meaning in Bali

We headed back to Sri Ratih Cottage after dinner on the 2nd night. We were all free to do anything for the night and so the guys and got into the pool. The ladies on the other hand decided to stay dry and conquered the lobby area hogging their wifi spot; facebook-ing, tweet-ing. It’s like as though we were the only residents in the whole cottage.

We all went back to our rooms after an hour or so for a good night’s sleep. The next morning we had our complimentary breakfast before heading to Kuta Beach for our final night.

I realized i left out pictures of the rooms in Sri Ratih Cottage. Here they are

The rooms are very spacious, in fact too spacious lol. Good thing if you have big backpacks like us cause you can just lay them anywhere. Same goes with the bathroom. There’s just ample of space in the room. Never bothered checking what channels were available cause i immediately dozed off once i got onto the bed.

Frash ur GCB at MTV World Stage for Jetsetter Badge

The title has no meaning on it’s own. So don’t even bother deciphering what i meant. Hahaha. I had a bunch of key words that i wanted to put in my title and so i came up with the lamest way possible to link them up. Anyway here’s a short update on what will be posted up soon and what have I been up to for the past few weeks.

I finally had my first GCB burger aka Grilled Chicken Burger and my verdict is ….. It’s aight.

The price is the only major setback. If McDonalds could only replace McSpicy with GCB.

Recently I had the chance to ride on an ATV thanks to a certain company that loves giving cheap deals. The colours of the ATV does not signify anything lol.

I checked my blog thru my Safari in my iPhone and I saw large signs of Flash O.O!

No no, no one is mocking about the inability to play flash on iDevices but I was trying out Frash which enables Flash. Not bad actually but I never bothered using flash on my phone. It all comes down to personal preference.

MTV World Stage this year had Bunk Face, WonderGirls, Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry. It rained like cats and dogs before the event even started. The rain sizzled out after Bunk Face finished. I would call this a concert because everything was done to look good on TV. For that, we the audience we left waiting for more than 30 to 45 minutes between acts.

What ever it is I thought Tokio Hotel brought the house down! Thank you Blup Blup for the tickets!

Finally, I am officially back with Switch (CG Computers Sdn Bhd). They are one of the main Apple Premium Resellers in Malaysia and their only store in Klang Valley is in Mines Fair. I have my weekends to spare and here I am helping users make choices on what they want

… and finally …

… i have my JetSetter Badge on Foursquare. Nothing to shout about since a lot out there are cheating these days to obtain mayorships and badges.

So yeah, another badge to my collection
