Oops..Did I hit the wrong address link?

Of course NOT. Not to worry if you thought you've been to the wrong page. It's that I'm re-furbishing my blog layout. It's been almost one year since I started to use the previous layout, and I'm getting bored with it. A flashback if you've forgotten.

What do you think about this layout? I like the background but not the font size, style and colour. However, I have no idea how to improve them further. HTML is like aliens to me, I can neither understand the language. Sob Sob..

Updated:
Later, thanks to my dear for teaching me how to change the font size, but I still prefer to improve on them further.

28th September 2008

We left the Silver Gold Garden Hotel at 4.30am heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch our next flight to Chiangmai. Upon reaching Chiangmai, we were greeted by the local tour guide. He's a mandarin speaking tour guide. We were so relieved seeing him, as most of the people we dealt with since last night cannot speak proper English (not to mentioned those people in the airports) and we were like stuck in the desert.

Later, he brought us for our breakfast as all of us were starving. We took chicken rice in a small shop in Chiangmai. The tour guide kept telling us that, the people in Chiangmai are more friendly, warmer and they are better than those people in Bangkok and Southern Thailand.

After refreshing ourselves in the hotel, we took a scroll down the streets before starting our journey to the Wat Prathat Doi Suthep. It's a temple built on hilltop and you have to climb up about 300 steps before you can reach the temple. You can enjoy the panoramic view of Chiangmai while worshiping the Lord Buddha.

Then, we were transferred to Miao Tribe. They are the minority tribe in Northern Thailand, and make their livings by making handicrafts and produce opium from the Popi plants. Their costumes are nice and beautiful. We rented their costumes and took some pictures together.

At night, we went for Thai massage. Wow, it's so relaxing and comfortable. I slept while being massaged. And it's very cheap, costs about RM 40 for a two-hour massage, and it's a whole body massage.

27th September 2008

We left Penang International Airport at about 5.05 pm. Once we reached Suvarnabhumi Airport, we were picked up by the hotel staff and transferred to Silver Gold Garden. We took our dinner at the hotel's restaurant.

Welcome to BKK

At Suvarnabhumi Airport

Green curry chicken

Tom Yam Seafood

Sweet & Sour Chicken

Fried Noodles

Chicken with rice

It's pretty late back then, so we took a scroll down the street in front of the hotel, there are not much stalls and shops as the hotel is not located in the town area. Later, we went back to the hotel and played cards.

We (Carol, Beng Lay, Seow Khee, Louis, Tian Siong & Foong Ling) will be leaving Malaysia soon. Hurray!! I'm already in my holiday mood. Tian Siong & Foong Ling will be leaving from Singapore heading to Penang and we shall be leaving this Saturday at 1705 on Air Asia FD3544. I understood that we have to meet up at the airport at 3.00pm. Oh, half of my weekends is gone and I shall be spending them at the other side of the globe.

Just now, I went to see the travel agent to collect all the confirmation slips. He reminded us not to overload ourselves as the luggage limit for checked-in luggage is 15kg while of the hand-carry is 7kg. And, none of any liquid form substance is allowed in the plane unless it is for own personal use for which the content of each item shall not exceed 10ml, and in aggregate shall not exceed 100ml.

We will be reaching Bangkok at 1745 (Thailand's local time) and will check in the hotel. It would be a hectic day, as our flight on the next day to Chiangmai is at 0645 on Air Asia FD3232. We will be spending our 4 days and 3 nights in Chiangmai. Hopefully, it would be an enjoyable and great holiday for all of us as we have been looking forward to this holiday since months ago.

After spending our days in Chiangmai, we will be heading back to Bangkok again on 1st october 2008 at 1435 on Air Asia FD3235 for a one night stay to have a shopping spree, while Tian Siong and his gf will be flying to Singapore directly from Bangkok.

That would be the end of our holidays. Looking forward to it.

I will be leaving this coming Saturday, 27th September 2008, for Bangkok and Chiangmai. Will be leaving from Penang at 1705, and coming back on 2nd October 2008, 1005. Hurray!! 6 days to go...

Initially, our plan was to visit Bangkok and Pattaya. However due to recent political unrest in Bangkok, we changed our trip to Chiangmai and Chiangrai. We have booked our tickets in early July, and was informed by Air Asia that we are not allowed to change the destinations of the flights, so, we will fly from Penang to Bangkok, then transit to Chiangmai and vice versa. So, we shall be staying in Bangkok for two nights, and the rest in Chiangmai and Chiangrai.

I will be starting to pack my luggage later. Hopefully, I won't miss out anything.

I visited KL and Genting Highlands last weekend with my dear and his friends. We reached KL on Saturday. We stayed in this hotel near the Old KTM station but I cannot remember the name of it. It has a very special, old and antique lift. See, you would never see this kind of lift nowadays.

Waiting for the lift...


The doors are opened...

But, to those of you who cannot shower without water heater, you would better stay away from this hotel, as it has a very lousy water heater system which is not working well. Freaking cold when I was taking showers!!!

On that day itself, we visited KLCC Aquaria again. I've been to the Aquaria for the third time since last September. Gosh! It's kind of bored though, as the marine species are almost the same. That's a norm for Malaysia, right?

Star fish on my palm...

It's on my dear's palm now.. They are like "dead"..

You see the fishes?? I'm wondering why are the fishes following the turtle...

With my dear... Had captured once before. Spot the difference?

The next day, we headed to Genting Highlands. We stayed for 2 nights in Genting Highlands. It's cold during this season, but it was a very soothing and relaxing holiday. I really enjoyed myself taking a good rest there after months of hard work.

With my dear in the cable car..

Khoon Yang & Stephanie...

May, Khoon Yang & Stephanie getting ready for the rock climbing.. (P/S: I've no guts for that..)

"Welcome to Genting..."

We are damn cold. See, I'm with gloves...


Can you see me now?? It's very misty, right??

The next day, we played in the theme park for the whole day, from outdoor to indoor. It's freaking misty and cold on that day. We tried almost all of the rides, from the exciting space shot to the Merry-Go-Round. Hehe...

When I'm back in Penang, I keep complaining about the weather in Penang. It's damn hot!!

I'm addicted to Moonlight Resonance. It's a new drama that is air over Astro On Demand lately. All in all, it has 40 episodes, kind of long though. I just finished episode # 23. Can't wait to watch the next episode !!!

It's a great and interesting drama. There's a climax in every 2-3 episodes. I came cross this website just now. It's a poll done by one of the biggest newspapers in Hong Kong on Moonlisght Resonance. They are collecting answers on:

1) Best actor/actress
2) Worst actor/actress
3) Most favorite character
4) Most hated character

Several things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?

1 . The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone's knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing.

Think carefully..

3...
2...
1...

Here you go....

1. Telephone represents Work
2. Baby represents Family
3. Door represents Friends
4. Clothes represent Money
5. Tap represents Love Life

Mine is 25134...
Oh..is money really not important to me?? I wonder...
Haha...

Moon cake festival is just around the corner. My aunt likes to make jelly moon cakes every year and gives them to relatives during this festive season. Yesterday, I was not working and I went to my aunt's house to learn about the making of jelly moon cakes. I find it very nice and interesting. Most importantly, she really did not use any artificial colouring. While making, I ate a lot of the jelly moon cakes and it really tastes great!

This year, she's making some money from this culinary skill. She's selling them for RM23 per box to friends. I like the its packaging, as it looks promising, isn't it?

Let me introduce to you some of the flavors that she made:

Dragon fruit skin stuffed with read bean paste and "yolk"

Kiwi with pumpkin

Dragon fruit with honeydew & sago and "yolk"

Nescafe with cream cheese and "yolk"

Dinner at Double Good again. We had our dinner at Double Good tonight. Mum decided to give Aunty Annie's family together with the rest of our family members a treat. Aunty Annie and her family reside in Vancouver, Canada and will be back only once in couple of years.

All of us went for the dinner tonight.

Time flies. Still remember vividly that we celebrated Tze Chin's birthday in Little Genting last year. And it's one year ago from now!

She's 26 years old now! But, she still acted like a child. Am I right? You will agree with me after you see this:

BINGO!

Tze Chin's birthday falls on 21st July, but she had piano classes on that day with her fellow students. So, we had a belated celebration with her yesterday night.

We went for BBQ steamboat at a shop located at the intersection of Kek Chuan Road and Macalister Road. It's a shame of me as I do not know the name of that shop.

Yummy yum, there is quite a wide variety of choices there. From dim sum to Ais Kacang. The egg tart is super delicious.
We spent nearly 2 hours there "enjoying" the stuffy oily and smelly atmosphere. But, we did enjoy ourselves!

Opps.. Forgotten to mention who are we? WE are:


Later, we drop by the sea side near to Jelutong Expressway.

Happy Birthday to "Double-T C !!!


Tze Chin, we love you and may all your birthday wishes come true!! Muacks!!!

Have you guys tried the Happy Feet Fish Spa in New World Park?

Haha, you should give it a try. I think it is a good once-off experience. Definitely, I won't go for a second time.

I went there with Kevin last month but was too lazy to write up a post until today. I simply enjoyed the ticklish sensation when the fishes nibbled your feet. The fishes in the pond would nibble away those dried skin from your feet, as claimed by the shop owner. Thus, it would leave your feet smoother than before. But in fact, I really did not notice about that. But, it was a good experience.

Below are a few shots of my feet and those Garra fishes:

Came across this site in friendster.
Haha... It's really fun to try out... But how true is it???

Friends, try out and feel free to post up your results and share with me ya...

I tried for the second time, and found that the results is not consistent. Anyway, it's just for entertaining..Hehe
