dodo’s island

A couple of weeks ago, my company had a trip to Pangkor Island (much nicer than dodo island). Decided to join it. Left at around 7am on a Saturday morning. We had a ferry at 11 am to catch, with a stop for breakfast along the way. After a brief stop, we decided to put the pedal to the metal (we’re running out of time). Using rural back roads, speeds of above 170km/h was not uncommon. I was in a convoy of 4 cars, and we managed to make it with 5 minutes to spare. Anyway, here’s a  pic I took of Pangkor.

My company also had a lucky draw event there, where the first prize was an LCD tv. Before the trip, I remember mentioning to some of my collegues that I didn’t want the LCD tv, but I dont mind getting the Ikea vouchers. And guess what, I did get the Ikea vouchers, all RM 1000 bux of it! Woohoo. But now, I dont have the faintest idea of what to get.

So, the next weekend, I was off to Ikea with a friend, and here are some of the items I considered.

me and my friend(lol)

In the end, I spent about RM400 bux, so more shopping to come!

Been rather busy lately, and then Irealized that Ihaven’t updated my blog since last year! lol. Anyway, pics of CNY coming soon. This year, as it has been for the past few years, went house hopping with my friends back in Malacca, and as usualy, we will be playing some blackjack, just for the fun of it. Past few years, I have been on a winning streak, but this year decided to pass the job of being the banker to my friend. So far, I made about RM 20. Gonna continue agian this weekend. Wish me luck!

The last few hours of being 23. By 12 am tonight, i’ll turn 24. It felt like just yesterday I was celebrating my 23rd birthday. Wish I could say that it’s been great year for me, but overall, it was ok. Changed my job, met new people, made new friends, calmed down alot when I’m driving, learned alot of new roads in and around PJ/KL, the usual. Still skinny as always, and getting grumpier by the day. Most people who know me say that I’m always a happy person, always smiling. Well, lately that does not seem to be the case, maybe it’s the new job with it’s new challenges. Anyway, I hope next year will be a better year for me.

Writing from my friends place here, wating for him to pack so that we can leave for malacca. Hope to arrive there before midnight. Then tomorrow will be leaving for Johor. Having some bbq there. Will update later with pics.

Just came back from having dinner in Petaling Street with a friend. Beef noodles, best I’ve had. Can’t believe I haven’t been to Petaling street before this, I guess I’m a Petaling street virgin. This street is best known for all kinds of imitation goods that can be purchased here, from fake Rolex watches to LV hand bags to Adidas shoes. They even have fake perfume! The amazing thing is, they all look like the real thing, it’s hard to tell the difference from the original products and the fake ones. Malaysia Boleh eh, haha. The street also reminded me of the famous night market in Bangkok that I went last year, can’t remember what the place is called. Pictures to come later, but unfortunately can’t take alot of them, as both of my hands  were occupied with holding my drinks, a cup of sugar cane water in one had, and a cup of ”air mata kucing” in the other, haha.
