The Chronicles of Cambodia 7: Angkor Wat & Amazon Angkor

Published by in adventure, backpack, cambodia, dining, entertainment, experience, food, holiday on October 25th, 2009

I suddenly had the inspiration to blog about Cambodia again after Chiaw Yin passed a very random statement over on Facebook. “Mr Shiya is very good”. I was cracking my head on who is this fella and why is she telling me this. Then it clicked me ! Mr Shiya aka Siya was our tourguide in Siem Reap and i used to call him as Ya. I knew Chiaw Yin was in Siem Reap not long ago but i never knew she also got him as her guide. The best part was, she said he still remembers me ! ^.^ But to be frank, he is one hell of a guide, to be honest. Though we occasionally teach him the wrong things in Hokkien, hahahaa. I really hope the guide i am getting in Indonesia would be as good and enthusiastic as Siya Back to my writing, I am still in 3rd day of Siem Reap of the 4 days we were there. The picture above shows a note from one of the kid saying she isn’t well to do and she supports the family by selling books. The thing about the kids, they really look pitiful but if you

Sui Wah to Hennessy to Flash Bang

Published by in entertainment, just for laughs, nightlife, penang on September 29th, 2009

Coming from a closely-knitted family and being always stuck in front of the computer all day long, i never liked clubbing. In fact the ones in Penang are usually in town and i was living on the other side of the island, … in a kampung … … called Kampung Jawa. The most happening place in Kampung Jawa was this mini mart called Sui Wah and that’s it. I grew up and left for my degree, Sui Wah grew up and it’s now Sunshine Square, still the most happening place around Kampung Jawa. Shifting to Melaka and KL to further my studies did open my eyes big big, well it depends on how you interpret my sentence. I think i have gone to pubs and clubs in KL more times compared to Penang. Actually in Penang i have only gone once … -_-” That also my friend drank my share of the beer, swt.

Nuffnang = Cambodia

Published by in blog, entertainment, holiday, just for laughs, nuffnang on January 5th, 2009

I am finally back! Well let me say that i am very excited to see what 2009  have installed for me. In slightly more than a week from now, i will be off to Cambodia for 6 days with 6 friends of mine and that is definitely gonna  have me missing  from my blog yet again. The idea of Cambodia was first conceived when i was strolling about on the sandy beach of Redang Island after a crazy day at Nipple Island. Initially, in the morning, i received a call from my mum saying i had cheques from Nuffnang and that she had already banked it in. Knowing i had extra cash in hand, i jokingly asked William and Angeline, … “Come let’s go Cambodia ….” William was fast to say he was in. I can’t even be sure if he even took time to think Angeline on the hand took probably a few seconds longer before agreeing to join the bandwagon … … and that’s how things got rolling. One by one the rest joined in, Lee May, Aaron, Ai Ling and Emily. I am excited, everyone is excited cause no one knows what is gonna happen as our

Murni Reopens

Published by in entertainment, food on October 9th, 2008

I finally got my hands on my Mamma Mia-the musical ticket. Initially the money saved was to be used to watch Russell Peters in Singapore but since that show is already sold out, i got this ticket without hesitation.

How to: Change a flat tyre at LDP

Published by in entertainment, just for laughs on July 30th, 2008

UPDATED: Check the bottom of the entry On the way to the Curve, William asked if i could feel his rear left wheel wobbling and i said yes but it wasn’t that obvious unless if i wasn’t been told about. So the assumption was his car needs allignment. But we thought wrong and on the way back from the Curve the inevitable happened … The tyre blew and the next thing we knew, we were on the side of LDP just before Western Digital. The last time i encountered a ‘phailed’ tyre was with Bernard and all we did was called up David, LOL. But this time around William single handedly change it himself. Steven, Jess and I just stood there like dodo birds, hahaha.

Fashion Weekends

Published by in entertainment on April 29th, 2008

When my mum calls it’s either to inform me what one of my siblings have achieved or to ask when i am coming home @_@ And this time it was about my youngest brother … MUM: You brother appeared in the papers again … (local papers at the current country he is in) ME: Ooo what did it say ? MUM: The headline was Malaysia dominates Holland and it said that he had earlier rocked the Dutch-speaking nation’s batting with 4-23. ME: … rocked ??? MUM: And they also said that Holland’s batting fell away as they crumbled against his spins to be bowled out for 133 from 40.4 overs. ME: Ma i dunno what those numbers mean but i am happy he won, hehehe. MUM: Yeah of course you must be happy, so what you did for today ? ME: Well since Holland came crumbling down to his spins, i here broke my mug. MUM: Broke your mug ???? You dropped it ? ME: No ler, i merely held it by the handle and it broke @_@ MUM: You got nothing better to do is it ? breaking your own mug … what else you did ? ME: …

BBQ in the Rain

Published by in entertainment, just for laughs on December 19th, 2007

I wonder if anyone has tried barbequing in the rain ? We tried …. and it didn’t work But that’s not the point of this entry. After planning and getting accommodation for the KL people, everything was in order for the End Year BBQ Party at Golden Sands Beach Penang. Some of us parked far away and had to walk for a good 5 minutes with things to carry, from chicken to tables, from charcoal to umbrellas (which came in quite handy later on). Some of us did notice that it was already raining further down but to instill the spirit of optimism, we carried on unloading all the equipment to start the fire. Some went further by camwhoring on the beach

Not the usual Deepavali

Published by in entertainment, personal on December 5th, 2007

Deepavali this year was a bit different. My family decided to come down to KL and spend the weekend with me and my sister instead of us going back. So knowing that both of us won’t be back anytime soon, mum packed tonnes of cookies. Of course i was delighted but then again, this is the only time of the year where my face looks like the moon crater. Chocolate cookies, jam tart, murukku, mixture and many more contributed to the attack of the pimples -_-” I don’t face the same problem during CNY. Maybe because kuih kapit, the turtle cookies, etc can hardly do anything OXY was useless, i even tried Simple and in the end i resorted in this. It stings at the beginning but it definitely got rid of the pimples fast.

Live & Loud KL 07: Acoustic

Published by in entertainment, fun on December 3rd, 2007

AWESOME ! AWESOME ! AWESOME ! This is my first time attending to an acoustic concert and it’s definitely not the last. Live & Loud KL: Acoustic consisted of Dayang Nurfaizah, Rick Price and James Morrison. The show started in that very order with Dayang singing a few of her songs as well as singing a cover from Christina Aguilera. Then it was Rick Price’s turn to entertain. He sang quite a number of blues and ended with Heaven Knows. With all due respect to the two artists but I was pretty sure more than ninety percent of the attendees were there mainly because of James Morrison, period. Girls just kept screaming for him. There’s even one part towards the end where one of the girls somehow manages to get herself on the stage to pass him flowers before security pulled her down. The videos that i manage to take were amateurish. I would have to warn you though, as watching it could induce vomiting as my hand was constantly shaking It’s still watchable even after reducing the quality substantially.

Steamboat @ Lao Ma Zi

Published by in entertainment, food, personal on November 25th, 2007

Initially i was suppose to have steamboat with Bernard, Weng Chong and gang at the ever so famous Steamboat restaurant at Sunway but since we left late and didn’t want to be queuing up, we changed venue to Lao Ma Zi which is on the Puchong Perdana side of the LDP. I was told that Lao Ma Zi means Mother The place definitely looked more class compared to the previous planned venue. I like the way the pot is divided as such rather than the common method of having two pots. The choices were quite limited in my opinion but it was enough to make me full. I took more of laap cheong and mushrooms … and of course ice cream. One thing i noticed about this place was one particular waitress. She was the only one without a cap and did have make up on. She definitely can make heads turn and she definitely did it with our table too -_-” We tried so many times to get a photo of her but she was just walking too fast. Weng Chong said based on her slang, she’s definitely from China. The girls saw how pathetic we were trying to
