Hey!

Omigadd!

It has been really long? More than a month, no?
My thousands of apologies. I had been really busy these days. Flying here and there, and once I'm home. I felt like I just wanna be alone and undisturb-ed. You know, too much communications at work.
Will update more about previous trips (a LOT!) later.

And now, I'm gonna hit the shower and voila~! I'm off to Brisbane, in Australia. This is my second visit in less than a week's time. Phewwww! I really make Brisbane looks like some kedai mamak tepi jalan in KL. LOL.

Cheers. Have a nice week ahead! And late Happy Xmas to all too :)

Delhi Hey!

Terbang ke Delhi petang ini.

Is flying to Delhi this evening.

Take care.

Good Morning, Cameron.

Hola peeps,

This is such a short notice. But I'm heading to Cameron Highlands in a bit. Decided to join the family gathering over the weekend over there.

I am soooooooo gonna get my scones fix tomorrow. All this while, my buddy Luna and I been munching the soooo not fresh scones from Dome in Pavilion.

Ta KL.

Asian vs the Caucasian

(Caution: lots of vulgar words below. Read at your own risk)

Hola peeps,

A quick one. Just wanna share something that happened recently, on my flight ex-Kuching in Borneo en route to Johor Bahru, located in the Southern part of West Malaysia.

I was standing at my station during the embarkation process when a passenger, a lady passenger, a fit early 30's lady passenger (I like to be precise here) approached me. She was carrying 2 big bags along. One, a cabin wheel bag, prolly similar size to my trolley bag and a box of same size.

The conversation went on like this:

She: Bro, take these 2 bags to the compartment. (For f**k sake, where is your 'excuse me', 'can you please help me......'?)

(Dik, letak 2 beg ni kat atas)

OK, I still can bargain her rudeness and helped her despite the dictatorship value that she showed me. But heck, I cannot! I realized the 2 bags were FREAKING FUCKING SUPER DUPER HEAVY!!! OK pardon my language, but I can't help it.

The wheel bag was roughly 10kgs and the box, from which later I learned containing Sarawak Kek Lapis was weighing no less than 15kgs. ARE YOU SERIOUSLY FUCKING KIDDING ME???
You know that the maximum weight of a cabin bag is 7kgs only and a passenger can only carry ONE (ONE = 01) and she certainly had exceeded the baggage allowance.

Realizing that I cannot perform the task, I told her..

Me: Can you help me push the bag. It's too heavy for me. (Boleh tolong saya tolak beg ni tak? Berat lah!)

She: Come on...those bags are not heavy. Can't you do it yourself? (Ala dik.....beg tu ringan je. Takkan nak suruh akak tolong kot....)

Me: (Dalam hati: Mafucka.....kalau dah tau beg tu ringan, kau angkat sendiri, bukan kau mintak aku tolong. Plus those are your bags, neither one of it belongs to me. Hence they are your responsibilities. I can be ignorant there and do my own things without acknowledging you. But I DID NOT. BECAUSE I care about my image, and the image of the company that I carry)

I surrendered and a colleague helped me.

And guess what? This UNGRATEFUL lady passenger, merely gave me a look and continued reading her newspapers after the event WITHOUT any courtesy to say 'thank you' or whatsoever.

How to say she is another typical ASIAN passenger that I had to deal everyday at work.

Please, if you are traveling on board, try to put yourself in our shoes. Cabin crew. Regardless which airlines you flying with.

Say, we have to do 4 sectors that day (e.g Kuala Lumpur - Penang - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur), imagine for each sector, passengers behaving like this, what will happen to our back bones, the crew back bones? Yeah, at certain extent, we do have to think about this too!
Kalau beg kau ringan, boleh lah nak ditolong, kalau 10 passenger dengan beg yang berat gile babi, ditambahkan dengan attitude yang stink, memang jahanam la tulang belakang crew tu.

This is one of the differences between Asian and Caucasian behaviors that we, the crew, see everyday at work.

I am sorry, but this is true. I myself an Asian, and I like to remind myself not to be like those typical Asian passengers when I go for a trip.

And by all means I do not practice favoritism but I do believe those Caucasians are simply cultured people. They know how to say thank you! As simple as that!

So, jangan tanya apsal kalau layan mat saleh lebih which aku rase statement yang sangat tak accurate.

I wish I can write more, but I'm sick thinking of the bags event. I better rest a bit.

I'm Upset!

I was everywhere in town yesterday. Looking for my DocMart boots.
Ended up couldn't find the one that I'm looking for. How unbelievable? I used to think that KL has everything ;(
And later I went to Zara. Really love this one pair of jeans. But heck.....my size was non avail.
Grrr.........

Nov/Dec 2010 Wishlist

Greetings,

Heya Hi.
I am back in KL. Home sweet home. How are things on your side? And for those in Malaysia, how was the long weekend?

I hope it is not too late to wish everyone a very Happy Diwali nal Valtukal. May you have a peace, harmony and wonderful year ahead.
***Ohh...the 'laddoo' made special for Diwali Day that we served on flight was damn good. Any idea where to get good laddoo in KL? Brickfield area or at Jalan Masjid India?

Anyway, I will upload the pics from my EuroTrip later in the upcoming entries (now I remember this is like a cliche where I keep telling readers that I will share the story and photos from my travels 'later' but realized that I never deliver :p).

But for now, let's check out these items.

Been dreaming about for the past few days. I woke up at night, thinking of these toys. How nice if they could become mine.

1-Leica M7 limited Edition Hermès

O Lord, I'm crying just to see how beautiful human has made this stuff. Look at the Orange color. It is so me!

It is not just a camera, it is a fashion statement.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

And guess, how much is the damage? Close to 8500 Pound Sterling =\

But heck, if one's can afford Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille watch worth 30,000 Pound, why not for the camera?

But mind you, this Leica is a limited edition of 200 units only available worldwide and model ni dah lame. Came out year last year, so I believe model ni dah abes. As for me, memang la tak mampu. The price of the camera equals to my salary for one year! I simply cannot afford this brand. Even the small compact D-Lux 4 model.

But say I can buy this camera, it won't be for my daily usage, but more to future investment.

Oh money, please come to me.

2- Dr. Martens 8-eye leather boots

I know ramai yang akan buat mata when they read this. Boots ain't for me. And it won't be normal if I wear boots. So mat rempit. So mamat Oi and Punk.

Whatever it is, I must tell you that I fell for these boots!

Samalah dengan my hi-cut Converse. At the very beginning, I must admit that I did not feel comfy in hi-cut sneakers and even people around me had noticed that! But as time passed by, I started to feel alright! It is not that bad or rempit actually!

But this one is for sure. I'll get myself a pair of this anytime soon. The damage is USD120. More or less RM500.

You know, when you keep on dreaming and thinking of something, that means u just gotta have it.

But the problem is, aku nak pakai apa dengan boots ni heh? What goes well with the boots? For sure bukan dengan shorts yang short macam my wardrobe staple? Geez....tak kesah. Janji aku ade satu.

Gotta dash. Happy weekdays people.

Tschuess.

U know u love me,
xoxo

From Paris with Love

Bonjour people. From the city of lights, the city of love, the city of romance and that is Paris.

How are you?

Baby Berlin

Heya,

Have landed in Berlin safe and sound. For f*ck sake, just everything and everyone is gay here. Could prolly be gayer than Amsterdam!

So far Alhamdulillah, semuanya selamat.

Tschuess.

ps: who's the baby?

Achtung, DEUTSCLAND!

Greetings from Munich, Germany.

Finally, dapat jugak merasa visit negara yang I'm dying to see, the Deutschland. Alhamdulillah.

Just checked-in at the hotel. Going to Starbucks nearby to get my caffeine fix (no Starbucks in Roma though) and later to Maximillianstrasse to buy something from the Hard Rock Cafe.
Followed by a visit to the BMW museum.

Woof! They drive super sexy cars here.

Tschuess.

Allora Roma. Ciao Bello

Inside the Colosseum.

Greetings from Roma.

The weather is crazy. At one point it's so cold that you need the glove, at another point it's extremely insanely cold that you also need the head cover AND at another rare occasion, it's WARM that you would not need the jacket anymore.

But really, Rome is splendidly gorgeously beautiful. Old world charm city wide!

I am sipping a latte at a small but very cute coffee shop by the roadside now. Starbucks couldn't beat the local espressos. And everything is fckin expensive here, REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE!

Ciao

Bye Bye Asia, Hello Europe!

Nah....it is not that I'm leaving for Europe for good. I am leaving KL for Europe tonight for my holiday! Yes, another holiday for this year. Woohooo.... it is my major holiday for year 2010 after those minor trips, to name a few--Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Bangkok, Langkawi and God-knows-where-else.

So basically, I'm done with packin and stuffs and now awaiting the cab to send me to the speed train station and voila, I will be one step closer to my holiday.

Will fly on MH0014 tonight bound for Rome. The journey will take approx. 13 bloody hours from Kuala Lumpur! Huh....tell me about it! Does anyone here enjoy sitting for that long period of time?! I don't think so, humans just got no choice! :p

But I won't be in Italy only. Will also visit some other cities in Europe! But first, these are my plans. Those that I'd been sketching on the note books TOP PLACES to visit during my holiday.

Spanish Steps, Roma

Brandenburg Gate, Berlin

Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris

Can't wait for the latter!

Gotta dash....the cab driver is waiting downstairs.

See ya in 2 weeks time ;) And please wish me selamat pergi dan selamat pulang. I am traveling alone, fyi, for this 2 weeks holiday in Europe.

Eropah!!!! HERE I COME!

u know u love me,
xoxo

Hello Holiday ;)

Was in OZ yesterday, now I am in Langkawi for a short holiday with my family. Beeeeeen loooong since my last trip to this island. The last time I was here was 5 years ago. I was with my Brit-ex at that time.

So, since my parents are coming along......haruslah my plans agak yang slow sikit. Nothing hyper. You know orang tua, jalan sikit dah penat.

But I sooo wanna go lepak makan2 at The Loaf, Telaga Harbour and take the cable car to the top of Gunung Machincang. My parents pon nak gak merasa lepak2... ;)

Anyway, you be good. Have a splendid week ahead.

U know u love me,
xoxo

I'm Tired.

Been traveling for 2 weeks now. I started to feel so tired. Missing everyone back in KL, my home, my decent bed (despite the fact that I sleep on 5 star beds during my travels)...and certainly the food too!

Counting time to fly back to KL.

Ahlan Wa Sahlan..

ps: Somebody stopped me on the street just now asking for direction. And I asked the fella back, do I look like local, really, koz I got that many times. And the fella said, "No, u look like Singaporean, not really like a Thai". ~Voila, u know that I'm not a local, then why bother asking me for directions?
Or what is just a lame pick up line?

Krabi, Day 1

Day 1--Krabi.

Wish you were here. All of you ;)
