This could very well be the main highlight for the whole year besides backpacking to Cambodia. Not only was i able to watch Man United live but was able to watch them in action twice ! This only happened because of the recent bombing in Jakarta at the hotel that the team would be staying during their stay there. Though Australia offered 1 million pounds for them to play down under but Sir Alex declined and ended up playing in Malaysia twice. The crowd for the 2nd game wasn’t as much as the first game but nevertheless i still had fun watching with a bunch of crazy people.

MAS Cabin crew – What does it take to become one ?
Missing the sea breeze in Redang. Boooohoooo not going for the Langkawi trip. Jess and friends must be having a hell of a time This entry has been long over due, lol. First of all, i wanna thank Malaysia Airlines for the invite and also not forgetting Jonathan for organizing this event I was fortunate enough to experience what is it like or rather what does it take to be a cabin crew in an airline, specifically MAS. If you didn’t know MAS has been named Skytrax’s World’s Best Cabin Staff this year and that has totalled up to 6 times. Definitely not an easy feat. Upon arrival, i thought i was the first one because i saw no one in the hall but just to find out that everyone was at the cafetaria having breakfast. It was after 20 minutes or so that the program started.
Malaysian Dream Girl Finale – Camwhoring session
Tonight is the night ! It doesn’t matter what supporter you are but Champions League Finals are here and it’s between ManUtd and Barcelona ! I am a big fan of Man United and i also do follow Barcelona over in Spanish League. So hope to watch an entertaining match ! This will be the final entry on Malaysian Dream Girl and it’s about time that i continue with my Cambodia trip and a few more drafted entries. The finale was held at the Curve, Damansara. I was accompanied by a troop of Shouters, hahaha and if you have no idea what shouters mean, i will explain it later on. There’s Angeline, Jess, Steven, Daniel, Aaron and William who suddenly appeared out of thin air. Upon reaching there, Andrew said he and i were asked to be the O.P. “What is O.P ? @.@” “Official Photographer ler” “My photos not nice ler, no zoom lens also” “Ok then u stand there and take photo” So i stood at one place to snap and to be frank, barely any of the models looked towards me, lol. So i took more of the crowd instead.
The Chronicles of Cambodia 3: Klang Bak Kut Teh
The top 5 girls of MalaysianDreamGirl had their photoshoot at Tunehotel, LCCT. It was a non elimination round before that and everyone was taken by surprise. So who do you reckoned will be cut off this coming Tuesday ? Btw check out the entry i wrote on their Marie France Bodyline Photoshoot. I have also updated the extra photos in my gallery After the Killing Fields, we rushed back to get our things packed and we roamed around in Phnom Penh in search of lunch. Easiest way was to find for their central market and that’s we did exactly. But to our dismay, there’s weren’t stalls nor hawker to be found. Unlike Malaysia where there would be plenty of food found around the market area, Phnom Penh wasn’t like that. Knowing that we have less than an hour to get back to catch our bus out of Phnom Penh, we walked along their main roads. And what did we find ? … – - – Bak Kut Teh >.<!
Zorbing away at Titiwangsa
F1 was crazy last night. It was soooo short ! but the excitement was over the roof when the cars stopped in the middle of the road ! LOL … and as for EPL, Machedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! What a curler ! The battle of the last minute goals, ROFL Btw, i have just wrote in my entry for Malaysian Dream Girl and this time the girls were in Royal Selangor for their first outdoor photoshoot For those who have no idea what a zorb is, it basically the same as a hamster running in it’s plastic ball. The difference is, for us the ball is cushioned by air in the middle. The it’s to refrain hard impacts as we roll down the hill. To make things more exciting the participants are strapped on to the wall of the zorb. Thus as it roll down, so do you >.<! If you are wondering why don’t the description match the picture above. That’s because it’s a water zorb. Water zorb is identical to a hamster ball. Don’t be deceived with the photos because water zorbing is a waste of time and money. I will you why later. So it was a bright Sunday

Meet the Parents: Intro
There i was at the gate waiting for someone let me in and after ringing the bell a few times, her father walked towards the gate with a rotan. I was thinking i was about to get some butt-whipping but it was used on Husky, their dog. After chasing Husky to his corner, i breezed through the porch and into the hall. As i waited patiently for her to dress up *she did this on purpose so i would have some time spent with either her parents*, her father joined me in the hall. I never felt so nervous and knowing that i can talk just about anything to anyone, i didn’t know why i felt i had a lock-jaw >.<! My first impression was obviously important and so i did strike a topic to break the silence. So uncle how was your Japan trip ? It was good good, you should go there one day … and that’s as good as it gets. I thought i started out well but for some reason the following replies just didn’t suit the situation at that very moment. Ermmm so how did Husky do? Who ? Ermmmm Husky … your dog ?

The Chronicles of Cambodia 3: From south to north
Now that my blog is finally UP Arghhhh for some reason this entry disappeared no thanks to the propogation delay -_-! Anyway i shall continue where i left on Phnom Penh. We were still on the Killing Fields and i didn’t feel all that confortable reading signs after signs indicating what had happened here during the Khmer Rouge. The cold breeze just made matters more eery than usual. This particular tree had a loudspeaker on it for a purpose … … which is to drown the voices of the victims as they were executed in mass. We later went into the building that stored all the remainings of the victims. Here’s William snapping with Angeline observing the skulls. I didn’t take any though I had to ration my memory card so that it could last me the whole trip which didn’t happened as i had to borrow 2Gb from Aaron. Having barely 2 hours or so before our bus departs for Siem Reap, we rushed back. Since we had time to spare, we roamed in Phnom Penh to find for lunch. We agreed to go to the Central market since it would be a good place to seek for food.

The Chronicles of Cambodia 2: The dark side of Phnom Penh
I was expecting to wake up to the sound of my alarm but instead i had the privilege of waking up to the sound of karaoke duet from a nearby marriage ceremony. I just lied there listening for the next ten minutes until it was my turn to wash up. I then briefly packed my bags as we would be rushing to catch the bus for Siem Reap once we are back from the Killing Fields. We then went to the girl’s lair just to find out they haven’t got ready. Wasn’t a big surprise though, lolololol. We all then rushed down to catch the van to the Toul Sleng museum but stumbled upon the wedding that i mentioned earlier. We came down in time for the bridegroom and his ‘rombongan’ to bring gifts for the bride. I think the folks were suprised to see so many photographers as they walked to the bride’s place. LOL. We all then jumped into the van and off we went.
The Chronicles of Cambodia 1 – Food in Phnom Penh
The long awaited trip was finally here and to be frank i was more scared than excited. Imagine having the responsibility to make sure all six others were taken care off but at the same time enjoy the planned backpacking experience. I had request from a few on what they would love to do and see. So trying to please everyone was close to impossible. But i did try my best to incorporate all The idea of Cambodia was actually first conceived when a few of us were in Redang and after scouting around for tickets on AirAsia, we finally found a suitable date. I have gone through tonnes of iternaries from different agencies, trying to a get an overall view on what is normally organized. But having pledged that i am gonna make it a backpacking trip instead, i had to make sure that the budget was kept to a bare minimum. I had to read on main historical points in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap so it would be easy for me to set the route on where to go and when. After reading a number of blogs on how they experienced their trips to Cambodia, i

Malaysian Ringgit had the same value as Singaporean Dollar
Well that’s what one Singaporean lady told me when i was queueing at Burger King for my lunch. I was actually at Singapore Expo that particular day and since it was lunch hour, i thought of giving Burger King a try since they do serve pork compared to Malaysia. So as i was lining up, i took my wallet off to reach for a ten dollar bill. I was scanning through the notes until i came to an orangish, yellowish bill. As i pulled it out my eyes grew larger and larger till it clearly showed … “$10 – Sepuluh Ringgit Negara Brunei” I was like goodness gracious, where’s the 10 dollar Sing that was suppose to be there. My reaction was so noticable that a lady on the next queue patted my shoulder and said not to worry, the value is the same as Singaporean Dollar. I sighed in relief and said, “Really ? That was a close call.” LOL Then i was given a brief history lesson about currencies by this lady Once upon a time, when your parents were still in their teens …. (ok i made that up). Many decades ago, when Malaysia was just formed,
