Bloated in Sibu - Chapter 1/4

I have no idea how long i'm gonna take to finish the story of WHY i gained so much weight during my last week trip to Sibu, Sarawak! Not to mention HOW my skin got exposed to sunlights again. Arrgh~ 

It was a random trip for me, Jo & Kheng. We decided to fly across the sea to Rach's hometown at Sarawak! Hehe~ Thank you Air Asia for providing us reasonable flight tickets. 

#1 - Early Friday 

#2 - Goodbye KL

#3 - On the plane

#4 - Touchdown at Sibu Airport

Just 1 hour and 50 minutes on air and there we are arriving safely at our destination. Sibu is just a small town yet to be develop. But this is a place where you can find yummilicious local foods! Within is 4D3N stay, we tried our best to eat-non-stop so that we won't miss out any! Thus, the kg-s gained. 

#5 - Restaurant Aloha, Jalan Keranji

#6 - Sarawak laksa

Not only the local delicacies amazed me, i've also spotted some old things that have already extinct from most cities. Interesting indeed! 

#7 - Car park coupon!

#8 - Weighing machine!!

#9 - Easy Drink Easy Go @ Premier Shopping Complex. The only "chatime" available. And its crowded. We waited for almost half an hour for our drinks! 

#10 - Bubble milk teas. Not bad actually but no pearls beat the "Gong Cha! 

Oh, one thing that i can never forget. The cinema, King's Trioplex! Gosh... i don't think i came across this sort of old cinema. Maybe when i was little but as far as i can remember, no. 

#11 - Popcorn & junkies stall. Not like the usual counters in GSC, TGV, etc. 

#12 - The hallway without air-con.

#13 - One and only ticket booth. Spot the stand fan! 

#14 - Kindly choose your seats from the printed papers.

#15 - Our movie tickets

Haha. It was quite an experience. The cinema has only three screening halls and thankfully it's air-conditioned inside. Although stand-fan can be spotted inside the hall. Lol~ 

#16 - RM1 summon. Definitely can't be seen in Subang Jaya!  

Dinner was at Hong Fu Seafood. Yes it is cheap no doubt but the service there can be listed as bad. Took our order wrongly twice and didn't bother to apologize. Hmmph~ 

#17 - So-so dishes

The night ended with drinking and public karaoke at Rest & Relax Music Cafe. Yes, i do need a couple shots of alcohol before allowing myself to sing in front of a crowd. But we did enjoy ourself very much, hearing some ladies singing out-of-tune... like abnormally tune-less. Lol~ 

#18 - Jo & Rach

#19 - Me &  Kheng

#20 - High-high, our drink for the night and a big bowl of "kua-chi".

Weather in the east coast is freaking hot compared here. Hardly any rain, if got also slight drizzle. Will continue other chapters soon. Gonna have a 15 minutes nap before getting ready to walk Pasar Malam later. 

Xoxo.

My New Toy

Thank you daddy for getting me this new camera! I was in dilema a week ago, thinking which camera should i get. But finally, i've chosen Panasonic Lumix GX1. Yet to think of a name for him. =)

#1 - New love 

Just got him for 2 days only so i still need time to figure out how to function it "smoothly". Hopefully my first batch of photos wont turn out a disaster! 

Gonna pack up and i'm leaving on a jet plane early in the morning. Will be back next week! 

Xoxo.

Graduation Trip, Day 5 - Ko Phi Phi

OKIE. Last day started off early again, trying our best to ignore hangovers and lack of sleep! We were on the speedboat this time around touring one of the most beautiful island - Phi Phi. Aiks, sadly I can't really remember the name of the islands that we went hopping though.... please forgive my short term memory. 

#1 - Looking from the back of our speedboat

#2 - Messy hair!

It was quite a long journey to our first stop of the tour. One of my favorite, Khai Island!! The sand on the beach here is white and soft and really i can say the view is breathtaking. Definitely a place for you to relax (provided if you are willing to pay for the chairs and umbrella) or snorkeling. You can just walk into the shallow sea and fishes are swarming around you! Ahhh... unless you are terrified of fishes, your face would turn slightly green. Haha!

#3 - Hello Khai Island

#4 - All gear up for snorkel!

#5 - Motion pic take-one

#6 - Motion pic take-two

After enjoying ourself there for about an hour plus, time to move to the next destination! Ao Ling (Monkey Bay) on Koh Phi Phi Don. Here, you get to see the habitats of monkeys! Most of the tourists are excited to see the brown fury creatures but definitely not us. We already experienced the life of staying together with monkeys during our study days at our university.... 

#7 - Spot the monkeys

#8 - Groupshot @ Monkey Bay

We do pass by the old housing of the Vikings. Not quite sure if they still live in the caves since now people climb in the caves to collect bird nests. The speedboat then stopped us at Pi-Leh Bay, a place where the water is crystal clear like swimming pool.... endless pool. It's quiet and this is when you really appreciate mother nature! Gosh. Some of us decided to jump of from the boat and have a good swim around without wasting any precious moments there. 

#9 - Pi-Leh Bay

#10 - Having fun at the "swimming pool"

It was just a quick stop and off we go to Hin Klang for a real snorkeling session! Hahaha... here you can feel the fishes brushing against you when you snorkel. And we were given bread crumbs to feed the fishes! But do before of them. They bite. @-@

#11 - Groupshot

#12 - The amount of fishes

The final stop is non other than the stunningly beautiful Maya Bay. This place has become one of the main tourist attraction in Phi Phi because of the movie, The Beach. Acted by Leonardo DiCaprio. We took a stroll along the jungle track and then reached to a stairs where you climb up for a better Maya Bay view! One thing about it, you need to walk on small sharp stones at certain areas before reaching so its kinda painful but then again, no pain no gain! 

#13 - I love Maya Bay!

#14 - Start

#15 - End

#16 - Maya Bay from the top

#17 - Groupshot on the top of the mountain!

#18 - Love. Beaches.

#19 - Planking @ Maya Bay

#20 - Last groupshot!

After that, we just spent our evening along the beach before bidding goodbye to Ko Phi Phi. How i've missed everything there right now! I'm sure we will be back there again! 

#21 - Sad faces at Phuket International Airport

OKIE. This pretty sums up my entire graduation trip! Another trip coming up! I'm going to Sibu, Sarawak this weekend. Visiting Rachel's home.... Can't wait! 

Xoxo.

Graduation Trip, Day 4 - Back to Phuket

Continuation from the previous posts: 

Graduation Trip, Day 1: Ko Phuket

Graduation Trip, Day 2: Ko Phuket

Graduation Trip, Day 3: Krabi

We took the 3 hours ride back to Phuket from Krabi and decided to just have a day relaxing by the beach. We stayed in Holiday Inn Resort which is only like a few steps away from the famous Patong Beach. One thing i gotta say, Thais really keep the beach clean. But then again, everything has a price. The umbrella, beach arm chairs.... no money no touch! We strolled along the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and took some photos before dipping ourself in the hotel swimming pool till the sun sets! 

#1 - Lunch

#2 - Patong Beach

#3 - Spot the hot guy! Lol~

#4 - One of my fav

#5 - Jumpshot @ Patong

#6 - Groupshot @ Patong

After refreshing ourself, we went and hunt for SEAFOOD. It took us some time to come to a conclusion which restaurant to dine in. And to be honest it wasn't easy asking the locals directions because we have trouble pronouncing the words. Well, thank goodness we still manage to find one of the online recommendation, Savoey Seafood Patong. 

#7 - Seafood dinner

Hmm... the price was ok but not all the dishes are to my favor. The seafood tomyam somewhat was not as spicy as i expected and the fish was slightly below average. I still prefer Thai restaurants in Malaysia. Damn! Sudden crave for hot tomyam soup now with white rice. Noooo =( *grumpy* I shall just ignore and find something else for supper as replacement. 

So the night life of Phuket is just like how i've mentioned before. Just that this time around we took the quieter side. Jungceylon~ And the night was just awesome by site seeing with coconut juice and sweet corns. 

#8 - Night view

#9 - With darling 

#10 - Before the night ends

A simple day ends with a blast after a bottle of Vodka. A lesson that we never learn - Don't drink too much when you need to wake up early the next day! Grr~ What more the next day we going to hop around Phi Phi islands.............. @-@

Next post soon! 

Xoxo.

April

Two weeks i've abandoned my blog! This is because I've been busy working part-time and i barely have enough rest! Somedays i even have to skip checking updates on social network sites! Finally now i'm back having some own sweet time in my room after a massive cleanup of my car and throwing few pairs of my shoes! Arrgh~ There's a bit of slight ache but dad has been nagging me to clear unnecessary things (according to him) since forever so i have no choice but to dump dump dump!

There are few more important things that i need to complete within this week:

1) Tidy my room. I have no idea why my room will be a mess by the end of each week! Pfffth.

2) Edit my visa application. Fyi, i'm not going to Fairbanks anymore due to some rules complication. So i've secured another job at Anchorage, the capital city of Alaska. Will be working at the airport but the position and which restaurant is yet to be confirm. Most probably i'll be leaving there on the 2nd week of May! Just can't wait!

3) Complete my post about Phuket & Krabi trip.

4) Get myself a new camera!

5) Sort out every files from the internal harddisk of my old laptop. This is definitely gonna drive me crazy.

6) Pray that i finished the above tasks before adding on to the list!


Imma gonna start with the first one without wasting anymore time. =)


Xoxo.
