A Historic Day Out

At the Pinang Peranakan Mansion Church Street.
Once known as the "Hai Kee Chan" which was the official residence of the Chinese Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee. He was the leader of Hai San who signed the Pangkor Treaty. sounds familar? Remember Sejarah during high school we had this Perjanjian Pangkor 1874. Go dig up your history books.

It was a rewarding discovery and of course the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion was the best discovery. No pics allowed in the Cheong Fatt Sze mansion so i really recommend you guys to go there if you happened to be in Penang. It's located on Leith Street, near the St Xavier's institution on Farquhar Street.

Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai Day 4

gooodddd morning. This is sunrise from the chalet we lodged on top of the hill in Chiang Rai.


The Wat Rong Khun Please click on the link to find out more on this "wat". I claim this is the most beautiful wat in Thailand. It looks so much like a palace.


Look at the garden surrounding the "wat"


when i first reached this place i thought it must house the buddha statue.


and you know what? it houses the toilets. look at the toilets...it's fully equipped with a towel and slipper and it's very very CLEAN.


up close...



the carvings..

it's the stairway to the Wat Rong Khun


i'm not very sure what this means. but it looks a bit eerie if you look just the shot below. you have to be there to catch it live.


the sideway


80% to completion


the workshop was located in walking distance in within the wat. This is the base.


in which they will add glasses to it and transform into this nicely done piece.


workers smoothens the surface of the clay (i think if i'm not wrong) and stick the glasses on the surface.


i didn't go and find out what this was for....i guess it was for visitor's use during rainy days.


final shot of the Wat Rong Khun


We were on the way to Chiang Mai and we stopped at this natural springs garden called Pong Num Ron.




it's really hot...boiling hot...


what is this you must be wondering....they are baskets of eggs...


what for? to cook them? but where? heheh..in this hot spring.


look at this



We reached Chiang Mai at around 3PM.


i heard that if you've been to Chiang Mai...seeing this you know this is Chiang Mai. I think i need to get more information of the history of Chiang Mai to blog about this.


We managed to catch the final hours at the Royal Flora Park in Chiang Mai before close of business.


I definitely like this....nice art pieces, statue and most importantly fresh air and greens....


the Biodiesel garden.


apparently this place is still in the pre opening phase, so we don't have to purchase tickets to go in according to the worker but i found contradicting info from wikipedia...


we took the train around the garden because it's going to take a long journey by foot


the main entrance decorated with 5 elephants on each side.


they built architecture based on countries in the royal garden too...those that i could rmb was China and Kenya.





This is the one that symbolises Thailand...called the Pavilion


the main hall of the pavilion sees


the main entrance



in the pavilion houses this

This is the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006. It's 2006 because it was a flora festival held in the year 2006. and i think now i know why we don't purchase tickets because the festival is over... i could be wrong. Also partly because i did not get more information on this garden..too exhausted and everything is in Thaiii... ok?

life is usual

life is as usual even though i've already tendered my resignation....in the sense that i'm still this busy.

been occupied with work ever since last week and work 24 hours of OT to finish up the never ending requests from the US and Europe. To make matters worst there are more from Asia Pacific. You see...?

i was reading through all the entries i made in my diary. a little bit and pieces of some little things i wrote when i was in Sydney. and i remembered so many things sad ones and happy ones.

and i go emo again. because i rmb how close it was to reach an ending. and now i'm lazy to type.

i'm going to bed..

today is definitely not my type of day

bumped into some stupid moron in the morning.

in the afternoon i bumped into another..

is today the moron's day or what?

my mom called and said that father can come home already...just FYI that my dad fractured his bone(s) and he was admitted to the hospital for x-ray and observation.

so his daughter here refered to "bling" has to go pick him up from the LohGuanLye Specialist Centre on Logan Road.

you know when it's accident you have a lot of claim forms to get the doctor to be filled up. so i went to the nurse station to ask where should i go. Nurses look helpful but their face was so darn black. Like i owe them salary. NEVERMIND!

then i went down to the clinic and look for Room 7 where the doctor's room is. unfortunately the Doctor was not around. So when i was about to reach the doctor's room the second time i saw one of the staff opening the door of Room 7 and so i said can i ask the doctor to help me to fill this form? then the lady didn't give me a reply and turned her head to the nurse who was sitting inside the room.

nurse: u must leave this form here. when its done i will call you. can i have your mobile phone

me: zero-one, erm when can this be done? cus the patient has been discharged and we are going back now.

nurse: not so soon because there are a lot of insurance forms and i think this form is the kind where we must fill in whenever there are visits.

me: but this is for PA u know

nurse: i know. (with her face facing downwards)

me: this is for those claim for ppl who are unable to work for income

nurse: i know. (with her face facing downwards) but we need 1 to 2 weeks. what's your contact number

me: this is only to filled this particular one piece of form need 2 weeks????

nurse: yes. (looking at the paper) so this is your father's contact number. we will call you

DAMN F**KING RUDE!! and this asshole stupid f**king bitch!!
during the whole conversation she was looking at the table and paper.

i was standing next to you and i wasn't on the table. Can you please show some respect?????
CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK AT ME?

DUMB-ass!!!!

this hospital is definitely blacklisted by me at least by the Lim Family!!!!

Reasons to blacklist?

• unfriendly staff/nurse (they sell black face)
• in-house cafeteria serving kopitiam food like mee goreng and teh-o ais charges SERVICE TAX!!!! What the hell??
• the consultation fee was RM120 (that was because it was off consultation hours -FINE!). Then the cashier said it is a direction from the top that we charge MYR150. So altogether MYR450 inclusive of deposits. From MYR120 to MYR150???? what rounding up mechanims is this??? Never learn this before in Math or even in uni of NPV. So they gobble MYR30 effortlessly.

enough reasons??????

Nowadays hospitals don't help patients with their profession but for money. At least they gave me that feeling. And i don't mean all hospitals are the same. At least i didn't feel this way when i was in Adventist Hospital.

Judge it yourself if you don't believe me and of course *touch wood*. Nobody wants to go there.

morons on the road

a moron started my usual monday morning with a rage......

stupid bitch make sure you get urself messed up one day on the road!!!!!!!

this stupid bitch honked from 2 cars behind me and keep flashing her headlights for god knows why she was doing that. if you want to f**king overtake me just do it and there is ample space for you to do it and i wasnt blocking the road because i was already speeding. well maybe you want to announce to the world that you are driving a damn f**king new car but what is it? Proton Saga 1.3 my ass. No wonder you can't seem to overtake me. go to hell and i wasnt the one with no brain it was you who is brainless!! honked like there's no tomorrow and everyone else on the road thinks u are insane and not me!!!

you idiot indian lady!!! go get yourself messed up with your new small cheap (cheaper than mine anyway) car Proton Saga. You are blacklisted!!!

PHQ9495!!!

giving you another clue. It's silver

all drivers in Penang please watch out for this insane cum mad indian lady driver. Stay away from her and if she does the same thing to you get her messed up!.

Chiang Rai - Mae Sai Day 3

It was 6.30AM in Chiang Rai. Outside the hotel. Sun is yet to shine and the moon is yet to set.


Winding road up the hill but towards which direction?


We finally reached after the long and winding road. See...Flags for sale.


There's a fee to visit all the 3 places firstly the villa, secondly the garden and lastly the memorial hall


I think it costs use around THB 200


This is IT!! we explore first the Doi Tung villa. The King of Thailand's mother's Villa.
Entrance to the Doi Tung villa reads this.....


My mum was smart enough to wear a skirt on that day so she ended up looking like this hehehehe. Stylo isn't it?


The Mae Fah Luong Garden. Look at the grass. Looks gross to me actually...


Nicely done with bamboo sticks


and the sun was this high and it was freaking hotz!!


The "monkey cup". If you need to clear flies out of your way get this plant. They help u lots.


this is interesting and amazingly done.


A special species of flower..They did not specify the name of the flower so i can't help it.


i was impressed by this....the flower face downside if you look at it properly and it does look a bit like morning glory except where it was facing and it was white.


The garden with the memorial statue in the middle


a little hut for you to catch a deep breath after the long walk and sweat..


believe in your eyes..nobody spray it white


the flower facing sideways and probably that was were the sun rises.


the discovery has come to an end and this garden is the final one to the Mae Fah Luong. most importantly this is the spot where you can see from the Doi Tung villa.


they offer drinking water in the garden...and it's icy ice coldddd..... didn't dare to drink so i used them to wash my hands. :D. i agree that defeats the purpose but please think of this out of the 100 ppl who actually drinks them?


We then head for lunch in Mae Sai. A little shop near the river which mark the boundary to Cambodia. That's Combodia.


Combadian flag on the left side and Thai on the left.


This is the side of Thailand in Mae-Sai. There is a lot of things for you to buy here in Mae Sai. all affordable.


We rented a place in one of the chalet type lodging in Chiang Rai and it's on top of a hill :S We went through the long winding road, passes through the paddy fields


Dragon fruit orchard



and more paddy fields


and when we finally reach, a 4WD was waiting to transport us up the hill already


This is the little hut that we stayed in on that night.


another type of chalet for 2.


The dining table. open air.


Hangers made from bamboo. creative but not practical. not strong enough to hang my towel even.
