Travelling stories

Sometimes when I think about BKK, I will remember the time when Daniel and I almost missed our flight.

It was probably his first flight out of the country and my first without my family. So we were too relaxed about getting through the immigration.

We thought that boarding time=time we can go through immigration. 

So we sat outside waiting! When we line up to enter the immigration, the line was MAD LONG LA.

And they wanted to scan my bag twice. 

All these happening while they announce that it's a final call to board our plane. 

We were running like mad and the Bangkok airport then was super huge la. 

It was the nice one, not the budget one. And it felt like it was endless. 

So while we were running in the airport towards the gate and I dramatically asked Daniel to hop on the plane and leave me behind. 

I was really tired of running and I thought I slow him down. 

And I really meant it then.

So funny thinking about how drama we were.

Daniel was saying, "NO, YOU BETTER RUN. DON'T TALK NONSENSE!!!"

It's sweet that he didn't leave me behind and we actually managed to board the plane. Of course if you don't talk about all the guilt punishment he gave me after we managed to reach the gate, it's a happy ending. When we got to the gate, there were still people who have yet to board the plane! And I had enough time to drink some water and eat some motion sickness pill.

Our second trip on our own was Bali and if you don't already know, the boyfriend vomitted from Bali all the way back to Penang. 

And I spent the whole night looking for hot water for him and then when I got home, I vomitted too cause I masuk angin.
But he said I took good care of him. *smug*

Credit Card sir?

Was reading Timothy Tiah's blog about this credit card prank that Audrey enjoys pulling on him. The boyfriend was behind me, watching The Wizard of Oz. I turned to him and looked at him. He knew I was up to no good. I read the blog post to him. And then come the million dollar question.

"Credit Card sir?"

"Don't be crazy, you are always out to pull pranks on me"

"What pranks?"

"You are always looking for chances to tickle me on my armpit. Each time I lift my hands up, you will attack. Or you will trick me to lift them up and attack."

"But they are always calling out to me, asking me to go to them. *wave hands above head* Come, Ping Ping, come."

"Nonsense."

*stare at his armpit* *attack*

"See, they are calling."

I don't do the credit card prank but I do always find EVERY available opportunity to tickle the boyfriend cause he is super ticklish like that.

Doing Happy Dance

Actually this was decided few days before my viva but viva comes first so although I was already super excited and started 'researching'.


Guess what???

I AM GOING TO BALI IN APRIL!!!

The boyfriend has to go to Bali to observe the 'Green School' there for his dissertation and 7th April happens to be his mid-sem break. So who gets to tag along??? ME!!! So being the one who is crazyyy about making itinerary (I made itineraries for the girls' trips to KL and whatnots okay?), I'm currently researching on the places to go (given by the driver we contacted) and also listing out the entrance prices and stuff to make sure we have enough money. Of all things, I enjoy researching on stuff like these. =P Need to maximize our time there so will look at reviews and other blogs to make sure I skip the boring ones and not miss the exciting ones.

Last year, for my birthday, my eldest sister brought the whole family to Phuket, Thailand. So we celebrated my birthday there with complementary birthday cakes in the two hotels we stayed at. This year, the boyfriend and I will be in Bali, Indonesia for my birthday. Quite excited! Am thinking of looking for a good place for dinner on my birthday there. ^^

Half day trip to Ipoh

Bare in mind this happened the week BEFORE CNY, so it's really very backdated. What? Don't judge me, I just got my dropbox. =P Finally got pictures to blog with. I've been bugging the boyfriend for not bringing me anywhere after I submit my dissertation. So he planned a last minute trip to Ipoh. Thus we did not ask anyone nor meet up with anyone there.

 

Early in the morning, leaving Penang.

Love the clouds and the orange sky

 The weather was clear, there wasn't much car on the road and we were cruising down the highway.

 God's really amazing. Can anyone create anything more magnificent and magical than Him? Look at how beautiful the sky was. And the sun, peeking through it.

 Woooo...scary mist ahead. Suddenly, that part of the road was so misty. But gorgeous!!

No car in sight. We were practically driving on our own at one point with no cars around us.

 Misty again!! But mad gorgeous!

Our first stop was Nam Heong Coffee Shop. The boyfriend cleverly left his itinerary 300km away from where we were. T_T So he was at the back googling for his itinerary again. Well, to cut the long story short, we missed a few places he said was good.

 Ipoh White Coffee. Not that I'm a coffee person and it was so early in the morning. I was with an empty stomach so I took a few sip. The boyfriend enjoyed it though.

 We also had toast. And the Kai Si Hor Fun (Chicken with Koay Teow) =P Awesome much but morning isn't my best time to eat. After eating, we had.....some problem and went to the nearest mall (Ipoh Parade). Their parking is EPIC I tell you. Normal underground parking right? With RM1.50 per entrance fee which you have to pay at the entrance. Now comes the epic part. You pay to a machine which only accepts COINS! We were fumbling for coins cause we didn't see that coming. Thank God we had just enough to pay. The boyfriend had RM1.40 and I contribute my one and only 10cent coin! My 10cent coin saved the day. =P

After settling our 'business', we went walking around the mall.

 The bench was cleverly placed right in front of senQ facing the huge television. So we can sit and watch some shows. At about 12something to 1, we decided to proceed to the famous Dai Shu Kiok (Big Tree Foot =P) to have our 'yong tau fu' lunch.

 Ordered this RM3.50 mix fruit juice which is the famous drink there. Really, it's just a glass of drink with lots of fruits like papaya, watermelon, longan, dragon fruit, mango and such.

All the yong tau fu are fried stuff so I took a little to share with the boyfriend and I got to eat my bee tai bak (called Lo Shu Fun there). Not my favourite food there although everyone has been talking about it. I would like to try their normal hor fun with chicken and dimsum the next time. This one may not be my choice again since I love my yong tau fu to be a mixture of fried stuff and non-fried stuff.

We also went to tapao some kaya kok, pohpiah and satay (all of which can be found in Penang). Will visit Ipoh again cause I believe I have not seen Ipoh enough this time around.

On our way back, we witnessed something only seen on TV. A couple in the car in front of us were fighting and the lady controlling the steering was going left right with one hand at the steering and another hitting her husband/boyfriend/another guy (not sure of his status). After swaying for some time...finally, at a fast moving road, the guy opened the car door to jump off the car. Damn drama. He did not jump off but she drove to the side and they continued fighting at the side of the road I think. We left Ipoh already as the road was heading to highway. I've never seen live drama like this. So that marks the end of our trip to Ipoh and we head back to Penang. The next day we started selling fruits in Lip Sin market which will be in the next post.

Kenny and Nude Wedges

Kenny Rogers Roaster was having this Red Day and the boyfriend and I decided to go there for our dinner since it' buy one free one. He has had a tough day in studio so a good pick me up dinner will be great for him. So we drove down to 1st Avenue to get ours. We assume the one in Queensbay will have long queue with USM students and whatnot.

When we reached, there's quite some people in front of us but they are all in big groups. So the guy told us that we can go in first cause there's table for two. YAY! So don't go in big groups. =P Just kidding. We are #foreveralone that's why we rarely go dinner with friends.

I did not take picture of the food but the boyfriend did. Will get the picture from him tomorrow morning. But I have two pictures of us sipping our drink (can't even remember the name) and wearing all red. Love it.

After a satisfying meal, we walked around at 1st Avenue. I actually wanted to go there to shop a bit for CNY as well. But the day before I got myself two tops from Brands Outlet so no more clothes this time around. I went to Payless (which I love going cause all sizes are on display and they have sizes for huge feet like mine). I tried on some heels but couldn't bare the pain so I went looking for wedges instead.

Scored this nude wedges at RM89. I know it's not exactly cheap (for me) but I don't buy many shoes. I probably buy like one a year or the most 2 last year and I still have them for CNY since I did not wear them for Christmas. I have huge feet and I only wear my mum's shoes. =P She buys, I wear. I can never shop for my own shoes cause ALL HURTS. Especially heels/higher shoes. To date, I have only 2 high heels which are really mine. And this is the third. Love the buckle cause it's huge enough. I usually don't buy shoes with buckle cause it's such a hassle to put them on. But I'm loving these.

Many people likes it and comments that it's nice. So yay to me!! The boyfriend paid RM50 for it though. I've been spending wayyyy too much. NEED.TO.STOP. Online shops stop putting up nice clothes!!!!!


ps: I need a part time job. You may sponsor me plus size clothings or other products too!!! I don't mind. I really don't! Until of course I lose weight and stop being plus size.

pps: My complexion is going downhill now. If you want to show super huge effect, I can lend my face. Provided you got super good products la!!

Hatyai Day 1 - Evening

If you have missed out on the previous post, click Hatyai Day 1. That post was until we went back for nap till 5pm.

We got the van company we booked to drive us around on Day 1 evening as we had not been to the places we want to go and we did not want to risk getting lost at night in Hatyai on our first day. We paid RM10 each which total up to RM100 to the uncle to bring us to Floating Market and Tesco Lotus. It was rather worth it cause there's air-cond and we get to sit comfortably in the van and laugh at jokes the uncle made. And we did not get lost or get separated.

So Day 1 evening was Floating Market day. Before you get to the floating boats, you can already see rows and rows of shops selling awesome stuff like snacks, accessories, knick knacks and clothes.

Mandatory first picture before everyone went in their smaller groups

Boyfriend and I

Fresh Lotus

Fried Quail Eggs- Swee Win's favourite!!!

Bugs galore

choosing sunnies

 Finally the boyfriend bought one sun glass after searching for it in Bangkok, Penang, Phuket and Hatyai.

My favourite part of the day!! Choosing accessories

Give me MOARRRRR

Spoilt for choice and ended up bought a little only. Brrrr

Can you see tiny boats behind us?

Ah Yau center of attention cause so tall!!!!

Boyfriend and I with Diana and a dog photo bombing us

 

Food sold on boat

Clay cups

each got one. SUPER EXTREMELY SWEET drinks. Can get diabetes.

Us

With Yi Lin

Roti Canai with condensed milk

Coconut ice-cream, really wanted the chicken but mum and boyfriend didn't like the ice-cream.

I didn't manage to get this chicken clay thingie from the shop as boyfriend and mum didn't like the coconut ice-cream. So we decided to walk around the area and found this shop!!! ALL CLAY CUPS AT THB10. Which is RM1. Shouldn't have bought so much of the drinks till I get sick from the over-sweetness. All because we want that cup. So I got my chicken clay thingie from this shop. Happy. They sell lights and other awesome clay stuff too. I think if you have a big house, you should consider the stuff here cause they look pretty nice and it's pretty cheap.

Siew Mai. No meat one, only skin. -.-

After we nom-ed so much. Boyfriend, mum and I decided to slowly walk back to the van area and rest. Cause I was getting sick from the sweet food. Next, we head on to Tesco Lotus.

After buying what we need like lays and interesting sweets, we went to have our dinner (only mum, boyfriend and I). And we had ice-cream there. This cost about RM11. Not bad. It's nice.

After that about 9.30pm Malaysian time, our van driver came and got us back to hotel. We rested and bathed and change before heading out for supper. I skipped supper except for a few sausages and bought some stuff from 7-11.

Note: Check out prices of chocolate (especially Snickers and Ritter Sport) in 7-11 and Watson before you buy any from department store or Tesco. From what I see during my trip, chocolate are cheaper in 7-11 and Watson compared to the department store. Can cost easily up to 2x the price in department store.

Snickers are mad cheap in Thailand, like THB20 in Hatyai for the long one that cost about RM3.80 in Malaysia. Almost half the price!!!

Humungous prawns. To see, not to eat. =P Cause mad expensive.

That's the end of day 1. Some of my friends went for massage while some just go back to the room and slept the night away. More coming up on Day 2 and Day 3.

Note also: Go to Lee Garden's Boots and look at the toiletries like lotions and hair products and tooth paste. Some can be 1/2 the price of that in Malaysia.
 

Hatyai Day 1

Planned for this trip like 2 months earlier. Went with the girls, my boyfriend, Nana's boyfriend, my mum and Win's mum. Yes, I brought my boyfriend and mum to the same trip and imagine how awkward it is to sleep in the same room with them.. HAHA But the boyfriend is ever so accommodating and takes good care of both me and my mum. Thinking of it makes me want to buy him his digimon. No..not really.

Anyways, I shall write down our itinerary because I think it's quite essential especially when you are going in on a Friday and you don't know what to expect or what to do there. Mine has always been a 2 day 1 night trip but this time around, we decided for a 3 day 2 night trip since we have a holiday. And yes, I bravely went there one week before my proposal presentation. No regrets though.

Day 1
We left Penang at about 6am, got into a horrible human traffic in both Malaysian immigration and Thailand immigration but managed to get out of it quick enough because we have awesome van drivers.

And at about 11am our time, which is about 10am their time we reached and checked into Asian Hotel. Mad love, super near the malls, has newer and nicer rooms than Lee Garden and serious, I love this hotel every since I went there few years back. Will definitely go back again cause it's very convenient and nice. Not too expensive either, about RM110/night.

Note: We booked using www.booking.com

Thank God for safe journey and super keng van driver cause we managed to arrive early and the hotel has rooms for us to check it as early as 10am!!! Was mad happy cause I was so tired after my futile attempt to sleep early the night before. Another group of people whom we saw at the borders reached about 1 hour and had to wait another hour for rooms.

So after we were done with resting and fussing over our rooms, we walked to the next road to the mall beside Lee Garden for our lunch. Sizzlers for our first meal, a girl could splurge a little right? Especially when she has her mum with her. =P Born cheapskate.

Interesting hotel card

My favourite girls in the whole wide world

First meal. Don't ask me why both our mummies are standing with Yi Lin!

Pretty and colourful hair pins. Mad expensive though.

Just cause Swee Win says it's the OLDEST BOOKSTORE OKAY?

Mad cute!!! Boyfriend didn't tell me. =(

Psy waiting next to our hotel for buyers.

 V neck, bright colours. CONFIRM FOR GAY LOR, according to the list given la.

Then we went back room to nap and rest till 5pm! Will update that on another post! =)
