Travel diary : Escape to Langkawi Island I

When you want to fully enjoy your vacation with no shopping, guess going to an island is the best choice among all! I'm gonna share the two trips about Langkawi Island today. To me, both trips brought me a lot of wonderful memories. We could really enjoy to the max in the island with drinking all the cheaper alcoholic drinks, that is one of the point! :D

Well, let's the pictures speak....

So lucky that we got to stay at a hotel which is nearby to the beach. Just few steps walk. 

Arrived at the Ferry Terminal. Quickly we went for car rental after that to get transport to go to the hotel. We rented a van which can carry about 15person. Spacious van with reasonable price!

Seafood dinner we had during our first day. Thumbs up for all the dishes, yummy!

 Dishes for eleven of us! Fulled & satisfied :)

The interior of the restaurant. The lightings created a romantic and relax ambience.

 The sky was beautiful with such colors. It made me feel relax.

Night market after dinner. Quite many stalls at there. If I'm not mistaken, it only available during Saturday night.

Day 2 at Langkawi Cable Car.

We spent about an hour on the bridge. Enjoyed the fresh cool air and took photos. The bridge was then under maintenance during my second visit last year.

Were too happy!! Haha *ignore the guy with red shirt in front, he closed his eyes as we took too much photos, he had no-eyes-see!*

We were ready for getting wet!

 First try on banana boat which can carry 6 person one time. Great experience indeed! It was exciting!

Dinner for Day 2. I had no ideas why we love Japanese Tofu so much @@ But still, the dishes were delicious

 A group photo of us!

Again, another restaurant with lovely ambience. 

The must-have group photo in front of the signature eagle in Langkawi Island. :)

This was the trip I went with my friends two years back. Too many "first time" I got in this trip. The first time I was the trip planner, I planned the whole itinerary of the trip and thanked god everything went smoothly. The first time to try on banana boat, it was exciting but then all water sports are quite pricey. The first time I drank the beer! Uncountable (it was hard to count to be more precise) cans of beer were bought during the 3 days 2 nights trip. I couldn't even finish one can by myself, I tried my very best and was only able to drank 1/4 of it. 

It was my very first successful trip I planned and budget saved! All the expenses we spent for this 3D2N trip was about MYR350 per pax which including all transportation (ferry, car rental, bus), accommodation, entrance tickets, and all meals we had throughout the trip. Planning a trip consumes a lot of time, but still I enjoy the process very much. I like to plan since after that. However some unexpected difficulties I got during my second escape! Want to know more, stay tuned! 

Mission accomplished | Mid of May

The bad weather these days were driving me crazy. I have no ideas why it is so hot recently. I'm sick because of it and just went for the doctor last night. Hope to recover fully faster. :x I will try to consume as much water as I can, and more vegetables and fruits as well. I used to hate papaya so much last time but started to have it almost daily started last year. It is a good beginning for trying not to be so choosy for vegetables and fruits. I felt I did some improvements these years and will getting on! 

What was the mission I've accomplished? Today is the last day for tax filing through online system. Many firms may already completed them long time ago on April. I had 95% completed on time, left about 5% who were late to send their documents to my office. There is a client (whose filing deadline is today) just sent me the documents early in the morning. Thanked god I managed to get all his things done before lunch time after had discussion with my boss. Fortunately he just agreed with the taxable amount! After lunch time, I felt like it is finally I got all Form BE to be submitted on time! The challenges are still keep going on though!! As I'm going to face a more complicated period starts from tomorrow! I hope to complete all Form B & P on time too. Hopefully all the clients will cooperate with me. *hoping*

One good news in our firm just announced last Friday! *hands clapping* Everything happened in such a sudden and our company annual trip is ON!!! Air tickets booked; efficient and effective! The second important thing left in a trip is accommodation. Trying hard to find a comfortable stay with reasonable price.  Passed the drafted itinerary to my lady boss yesterday and so far all the places of interest to visit cannot really fix yet as too many issues have to solve first especially accommodation.

Well it is not the time for me to be over excited about the trip before my exam. Time isn't enough for me, as not even one month left there for me to prepare. Sickness makes me don't have the motivation to study and do revision. *am having a running nose right now, hate!* 

Good night ~

Oldie moment

I'm listening to an old song now - close to you by Carpenters. This is a very nice and lovely song to listen to. I never get bored in listening to it.

English oldie is always my all-time favorite music. Many things just come across in my mind when I'm listening to them. That is why I feel they are very meaningful to me and I like them. Especially those songs from Carpenters are truly my loves. Briefly explain here that Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo which consisting of siblings Karen and Richard. Their soft musics were popular and been leading sellers in 1970's. 

Make yourself some time and listen to their singles. I used to listen to their songs almost every night before I go to bed. It's great to have such sweet voices to accompany you get into your sweet dream. Listening to this kind of music makes me feel so warm and peace. I'd like to go back to the moment when they were still there if time is allowed (sounds insane but I always think of this since I was little). I always find myself wanted to stay at the past moments (fyi I was born in late 90's). It is kinda odd but it appears to be one in my wish list...guess it will be something that I can only make it in my dream but not in real life. It's so impossible to accomplish :/ Visit here Carpenters to know them more and deeper. 

Good night peeps. 

Live life to fullest

Recently I feel like getting back to the old time, back to the school time if possible. (opss, it's kinda odd...but I miss it :/ ) The reason may be I'm getting older and older...and 30 is coming towards to me very soon! Guess everyone is afraid of the age figure is bigger and bigger, so do I. What am I worrying about is what achievements I get through my youth. 

I always want something challenging in my life so that I can try to beat it down and move forward. I believe that every challenges can make someone grow better and meanwhile learn some experiences through it. We might gotta scare of it initially, but if we are persistent enough...we are the winner! Instead of afraid of everything happens around us, we should give ourselves a chance to try and not wasting our youth. You are not going to know the answer if you do not try. Apart from this, we have time because we are young. (Keep talking about young lately, it's fact indeed)

Keep myself busy all the time. Almost forget that I don't have a partner beside me yet, well it doesn't matter anyway. Because I have more spare time to do my own stuffs and try whatever I want as I mentioned in paragraph above. I can live better even single. Cheers!

Lastly, do remember to live our lives to fullest whenever we are able to do. Yeah, I've met many teenagers who are younger than me are already there to start to build their dreams, what are we still waiting for? We are few years elder than them, but our thinking aren't that mature as theirs! (to be ashamed of that :/ )

Attach some photos before end of my post~~ tadaah.... :)

My first time ever! Thanks to the photographer because he tried to capture every precious photos for me! He is a caring person and guided me all the way for my first time photoshooting! :D

Why the weather is freaking hot these days....? Keep sweating when not in an air-cond room. :/ Gotta have some buns for my late lunch, my mummy home-baked buns..yum yum :) 

Short update for my Thursday

I just reached home.....not more than half hour and I'm here to write my blog. Because I'm so excited and I want to write it down!

Today I managed to have the chance to listen to the sharing of a successful man regarding his recent trip to Turkey. He mentioned that the history of this beautiful country is very extraordinary. He shared with us the photos and the experience he got it from the trip.

"You must pay out before you receive!"
Remember! Anything you desire for / dream for will become true once you put on efforts in making it real. Never dream of you may getting rich without any hard works, it is impossible! Even the successful entrepreneurs all over the world had to pay out their hard works before they are getting rich and famous. So do you and me... Just like, when we are going to take examination. If you do not study hard at the beginning, are you able to get a flying color results? The answer is NO. And this truth will never change and can be applied on anything in the future. Just like your future living lifestyle....career...and so on. Be alert and try to think deeper. Now we are still young, whenever you do the mistake, others will forgive you easily because you are young! So why don't we get this opportunity and do something we want to try.

Dream it and go for it!!!
Good night! Look forward for tomorrow, am going to have dinner with boss and colleagues. *excited*

Trip of 2012 - Hatyai Day 1

Since I promised to blog more in my previous post, I start to do it today! Well, I will blog about the places I've been during my trips in 2012. As you can see from the title, let's talk about Hatyai first! It was my first ever company's trip together with all my colleagues. We spent the weekend in Hatyai for 3 days 2 nights, lots of fun indeed! *My boss already asked all of us start to think where shall we go for trip this year?!*

Here starts with my first day in Hatyai. We went there by a van and the van driver was a Thai (it was quite hard to communicate). We left Butterworth around 5:30am and reached the hotel in Hatyai about 11 something in Thailand time. Still consider early and thus we could do more shopping! Yay!!

 Please visit here for more details, Centara Hotel, Hatyai

We managed to get everything done fast once we got our room's key! So we went out to the streets to get some food for our stomach. We had our first meal in Hatyai at a kopitiam. Selling their local dishes like chicken rice, wan tan mee, koay teow soup and so on. I got myself Wan Tan Mee for my lunch. The Wan Tan Mee served together with a bowl of soup with some fishballs and meatballs. While my beverage was sugar cane drink for the hot weather. Wan Tan Mee - THB50 ; sugar cane drink - THB 25. The food was slightly expensive compare to M'sia. But overall the food taste good!

After finished our lunch, shopping session started! What I can say more about this, girls' power in shopping are really extraordinary! Firstly, we started with the streets nearby. Then Central Mall which situated under our hotel. Tadaah... I managed to take a photo with the model while shopping in the mall! She is beautiful and tall, yes I admit I'm short *sigh*

We took tuk-tuk (a famous transport that must try in Thailand) to market which is few distances away. You can find a lot of clothes which are in cheap and reasonable prices here. Well, we grabbed the chance to try the food sold at the stalls along the roadside. The food were all awesome and special. I can hardly forgot the taste once I tried them!! Both thumbs up!!! Also, we bought some t-shirts with Hatyai wordings printed on it for our day 2, so stay tune for that!!

 Tuk-tuk

 The two must-try food (banana with coconut milk & sausage), very yummy! Especially the sausage that comes in a combination with sour yet spicy sauce *hot!!!!*

I did try the sausage sold in another place the next day. Unfortunately the taste wasn't that good as the one shown in photo above. That is why I highly recommended this place for the above mentioned food.  I always miss the food there, because all are very yummy! :)

Not much photos taken during day 1. As you know, we were busy shopping all the time! *grin* I still have some food photos with me for the dinner. Will upload it in the upcoming post as I'm very tired now! Need to rest badly! Woke up early today to go Penang with the colleagues and reached home around 8pm. Straight away started to blog right after finished my shower! 

I will put more effort in more things in 2013. I want to try and explore new things when I'm still young and able to do it. I want to live my life meaningful with no regrets! Guys, how about y'all? Stay positive and try to live everyday of your life splendid! 

First blog in year 2013!

It is 8th of March today! Well, my first blog in a brand new year after 2 months.

Have all of you prepare a list of your new resolutions to be achieved in a new year? I've done with mine and I'm on the way to make it real instead of dreaming it all the time. So what are you still waiting for? Set your goal and work hard for it!

Always remember, not to waste your time in doing something which couldn't lead you to get what you want. Be brave and go ahead to try with what you might afraid with. Now, we are still young and we are able to try all the new things. At the same time, we can learn from the mistakes, gain the experience through the process. Don't make any excuses for not trying a new thing when you are yet to find out its value. Give yourself a chance to try and be fair to yourself!

Photo taken last year.

Wishing all the women in the world "Happy International Women Day" aka "38 Women Day" even the time now is 12:19am. Sorry I was too late :(

I will try to blog more, it always appear to be one of my resolution and I hope I can make it this time. No more excuses, just do it! Yeah, Good night !
