Christmaz Holidays

The best holiday I will be spending with my wife at Fraser's Hill this coming 24th December. Come to think of it's has been more than a year now since we've been up with her pregnancy and all. Got an apartment and invited some married couples to join us with some pot luck food in mind. Weather will be awesome since it's end of the year cold season. Better leave my son with my parents to look after then.

Eye On Malaysia

Lately people have been buzzing about the Eye On Malaysia. Countless Blogs & Multiply have mentioned it and tonnes of photos snapped. My wife has been pestering me about bringing her there, so I have done a little research so that this weekend we can go there without any boo boo. Perhaps I'll join the bandwagon, posting pictures of our outings later.

Operating hours are 10am to 11pm Sunday to Thursday, 12 midnight Fridays, Saturdays and before public holidays. Tickets are available for RM15 Adult and RM8 Child.

I'm Back!!

I was back last Friday! It was a great holiday, although I feel like I need another one now to recover from it. I’ll start bloging once I am fully awake!

Koh Samui Here We Come!

Sawadikap......Finally a long break that I have been waiting for to spent it with my wife. I'm pretty hype-up about this trip. We are going to Koh Samui on the 1st Day of Chinese New Year which is on the 18th February 2007. I have not been there but I have read some good reviews. If any of you have been there please let me know how's it's like? So far I've only seen pictures of sand, beaches and naked girls. Will be back 23rd February. Till then Kongsi Kongsi, and to those who MSN for ang pao please read my blog on Jumping Into 4 Ekor

ChristMaZz!!!

I guess I have pretty much decided to spend our Christmas in that small island. It has been a year since I've been to Singapore but everytime I'm there is always on business, sigh. Well, spending a little quality time with my wife there should not be a problem for her since she deserve some crazyness shopping time there. Ling, go ea$y on me will ya??

Back at Last!

China is definitely a very intense city to live in things are happening constantly. People come and go unbelievably so freaking fast and I was caught up in the middle of it. It was fun at times, i admit but somehow i felt extremely overwhelmed in past few days some people might say "oh it's nothing". Well, try to live here. I wondered if i was having my 'Hainan Air' all the time in China cos sometimes people here just pisses me off. Especially if that person im dealing with is getting into my nerves.

So yesterday i touched down in KLIA around 9:00pm and just got home at about 9:40pm. My gf picked me up from the airport. She told me she was at the airport since 8.00pm. I asked her why she was so early, then she said afraid of the jam and rain, poor visibility etc etc. Heh, i bet she misses me very much. God it was a very beautiful sight.

The first thing I want to eat when I get back to KL is anything everything that is NOT oily. Gosh everything i eat here is soaked in bowl full of oil! No... it's not soup but in yellow and red oil. I crave so much of Japanese food that i had to have some for dinner last night. It was delicious! only RM50 eat all you can shushi, sashimi, fresh oysters, shrimp etc etc.

I did some packing just now and i realized that the luggage i brought from KL is now full and i had to abandon some clothings behind. Why? Because of the things i bought for people, suveniors and stuff not healthy to your lungs.

I'm going to miss China (NOT). The only thing i can't tolerate here is their mentality. If the brain has problem everything you do has problems. Sigh. If you think KL, Penang, Johor, Semenyih drivers/motorcylist are mad? Wait till you get to China! Only then you will notice Malaysian drivers have the most humanity in them. I can frankly tell you readers that I cherish my life alot now having been here in China for the first time.

Anyway I will be leaving Suzhou China at about 8:45am to the bus station getting me to Pudong ShangHai Airport and about 2:30hrs ride there. My plane should be leaving 3:35pm. I am very lucky to have someone picking me up from KLIA. Someone familiar and a face I wanted to see since 8 days ago from the day i left KL.

China Blog Entry Part 10

Ni hao. This will be my last opportunity to update this Blog from China. I may not have the time to blog tomorrow as I will be pack with work. I have sqeezed my busy schedule into 1 week instead of the planned 3 weeks in Suzhou. Today itself is a busy day for me, did alot of traveling from one district to another meeting up with raw material suppliers. I must admit that getting raw materials here is very affordable and cheap therefore makes it feasible for me to souce it here and sell it back home. But of cos it needs alot of bargaining power here. I need to do alot of precise calculation on costing as well as the logistic cost back to Malaysia. If i make a mistake it will cost me and may not make any money out of it.

I know i did not cover my trip much and about China, I'm here for business not leisure i guess. Instead of writting stuff now I just thought of posting lots of weird pictures captured on my Handphone. I really miss home, miss Loft, miss Flam, miss my car and most of all I really miss my char bao at Semenyih village. I hope the people in Malaysia misses me too.

China Blog Entry Part 7

I was walking around town in a place similar to The Curve Damansara but much much bigger and tonnes things to see and buy. I wanted to get some stuff for my gf and i went into this shop looking at soft cute stuff. Something happened, I accidentally molested a cute soft toy. I haven't been with my girlfriend for few days now so pardon me k... Ok what happened you ask?

I was looking at this cute furry chinese soft toy, then i started cuddling it. Don't know why maybe that cuteness resembles something of my gf. So "we" got into snugglin' and I started kissing this soft furry face and snuggling it harder and the hugging got longer and longer and it gave me such a great sense of intimacy. I was putting my face its face and neck and tummy and then all of a suddenly some girls were sniggling behind me. Man they might be thinking I was the biggest pervert on earth. I was totally uncomfortable. I need help! Help me! Help this furry toy! Get it away from me before i cum.

p/s: I might have exaggerated it a little. It wasn't really intimate...... it was all in my head.

I heard, I noticed and i've experienced it myself. I might be wrong to come to this conclusion because i've only been here for less than 3 days. However, this is what i think and feel for now, everything and everyone in this city is always in a rush especially how people walk and the (unquestionable!) taxi and lorry drivers, among other things people always have schedule, things to do, where to go, people to meet, etc. time is extremely crucial here. Fast. Fast. Fast. no time for nonsense at all. Take it or leave it. Always know where you're going, what you wanna say, what you wanna do before you even make a tiny move. Otherwise, you gotta move away or else! however, 1 thing, that i've noticed and i thought i was the only one thinking this way and apparently am not, is that people in this city does everything super fast. Knowing myself of how i think or expect and what i would do, i know i have to adjust SUPER FAST and lower my expectations on people super low, before i get myself into a mess. Oh and other thing i experience, people here talk EXTREMELY LOUD. And im getting use to it now... THE RIDE IS JUST GETTING START AND IT'S ABIT SHOCKING YEA. Man ive learned to talk loud. I just need a li'l time to get used to. Where is my damn cigarette? knnnccb! Ok bye i need some oxygen.

China Blog Entre Part 5

Had a meeting this morning with my China parts suppliers which is like an hour away from my apartment. Anyway after the meeting he decided to bring me to lunch. Well i thought to myself what extraordinary food am i going to feed on this time?

He took us to a olden designed restaurent that resembles the Chinese Dynasty palaces. I really don't know he said to the waitress but i know he said bring the best dish. Omg! The best dishes meant abalone and shark fins soup.

BUT even better than those. I had Duck's tongues as appetizer served cold. These tongues were kind of bigger than the other chicken tongues I'd had, so I asked are you sure they're ducks? For a while there was some confusion because someone suggested they were actually pig tongues, and we laughed, pig tongues would look totally different, probably like little cow tongues. But I'm certain these were duck tongues because I know the Mandarin Chinese word for duck is "yah-zi" and it also means male prostitute (gigolo). One that makes a ton of cash entertaining rich married ladies. Maybe i should consider being one myself thinking that I would need to pay for my wedding soon.

I had other weird dishes such as chicken spare parts soup, lakeweed vegetable, freshwater snake, tiny scrimp, claypot raddish pork, a flat looking fish and 2 other dishes of slimmy vegetable. I really like this lunch. Really my type of lunch and taste of food. Yum yum.

China Blog Entry Part 4

People asked me which part of China. I'm in Suzhou High Tech Village, very similar to Putrajaya/Cyberjaya. The Suzhou High-Tech Zone is east of Suzhou, adjenct to Shanghai. Many foreign enterprises such as the Fortune 500s and Taiwan investment come here.

We went to an area near the Ji Chang Road (or Airport Road) in Suzhou. It is a street in the city of Suzhou, but named after the Hong Qiao Airport. It is funny that people in Suzhou can access the airport more convinient than some in Shanghai. It is true.

Tall residential areas and massive town houses and villas around the lake area. I'm staying in one of the apartment facing the lake. There are new business centers and commerical areas. Suzhou gave me and impression of a new and modern Shanghai . Wait. It is better than KL!

I just got back from dinner not long ago, the driver drove me down town of Suzhou and this place suprised me with 5.5 million people cramp in this small city. Imagine the night life. yea imagine! True enough old women's saying Suzhou has the prettiest girls in China. I will agree on that. It's hard not to look elsewhere without catching a sight of a women infront of your path. I can see why some senior Malaysians (malaysian man who has difficulty in finding a wife locally) prefer to stay back and get married there or even bring back a wife from China. In every square inch there is 4 people standing in it, picture the crowd. It's an eye opener for me.

With the amount of Malaysians here, I'm lucky to enjoy many local food like roti canai, murtabak and nasi lemak. That's good enough for me. Talking about beer, dirt cheap not that i had drinks but they displayed prices outside pubs premises. It's so cheap i can bath myself in it. Well that's all for today.... gotta get some rest before sun rise and oh yah sun rises at 5.00am here during summer.

The place which I'm staying in for few weeks. Nice apartment.

China Blog Entry Part 2

Hello from ShangHai. I've touched down in Pudong International Airport of Shanghai at 7:00am sharp. My brain is telling me that this is going to be a long entry, and I might have to finish it tomorrow but i can always cheat.

The first ever toilet i used in China is the airport toilet. Such a big toilet but only 2 pee bowls and queue is easily form behind me like a train. I stepped out from the airport with a heat wave at 39C with no wind. Humidity none! Man any longer in this hot sun and i may get a heat stroke. Took a ride 2.5hrs to Suzhou south of Shanghai.

Arrived Suzhou 9.15am had Tim Sum Breakfast. Then back to an apartment nearby. Quickly setup my wireless router, turned on my PC bam! im online! Wrote an email to my gf told her that im ok and misses her lots. MSN my office to get updates, arrange a few payments for my suppliers and pay my credit card bills.

I need rest, my eyes hasn't been sleeping since 1:40am this morning, I couldn't sleep in the plane with this chick coughing and sneezing sitting next to me. Requested for a headset and watched 2 movies. Kept me busy for the whole duration of 5hrs. Worked but I'm like a zombie now. Alright then, I'm going to bed for some good rest.

China Blog Entry Part 1

I'm leaving for Suzhou, China on a business trip tonight and this is a shorter “unofficial” entry on my upcoming China experience. I should, theoretically, still have internet access to post to this weblog and I will update on my experiences. Pictures will be posted whenever i take any pictures. I just found out i need power converters for my notebook and handphone charger. I was told i can get it there in China. To be frank, without it I would feel disconnected from the world. My flight is on 16th August 1.40am flying MAS. I will be there for at least 3 weeks and to all my drinking buddies please get drunk on my behalf.

In the past few days I've been practicing some useful mandarin and this is what I've learned.
