Rome is one of world's most photogenic cities. Ancient buildings with amazing architecture are all around Rome. Most attractions located at the heart of the city.

My first impression on Italian – they are extremely not helpful. They are not tourist-friendly at all. I understand that most of the Italian might not know how to speak English but they even do not bother to answer your question or shake their head… That’s really no good at all. So, be prepared for the worst, if you are going to travel Italy without basic Italian language course.

As a free and easy traveler or backpacking couple. We chosen to stay in guest house which offer a cheaper rate than hotel and also very near the train station. It all seems fine and good deal until...

Nothing more than a surprise “note” after you checked in the guest house… The picture below explains it all…

Apparently someone from Malaysia had rated this guesthouse as a “black shop”. So, at the point of time, we really thought being cheated. It is because during the check-in, the person in charge told us that the guesthouse is full and he had to move us to another building which the location is not as strategic as the one we booked. So… what else we can do? We can only accept it because we do not have any luxury time to search for another guesthouse with the same rate…

But once we settle down, it is actually not too bad. At least, it offer clean bath room, free wifi, kitchen with cooking facility and a big room. :)
Although it started with not too good impression but it ended with a comfortable stay.

Two days for Rome seems a little bit short because they are too many spots to cover. If you are going there, I’d recommend you to at least spend some time to walk around in order to experience the street feel.

If you are rushing or want to cover more tourist spots, you can take the train. It cost 4 Euro for a 24 hours ticket -very affordable price.

The spots that I visited as show in the photo namely Colosseum,  Vatican city, Spanish Steps and the Trevi fountain!

Last but not least, I tried the Coca-cola too. Also bought a red vine to drink too. One important shopping/drinker note, Red vine is really cheap in Italy!

Ping me or leave a message if you need any traveling tips to Rome. I will be gladly to share more with you. :)

Full album photos can be view in my Picasa.

I still arranging the photo for Florence and Holland.

Happy reading!

Venice is my first stop in Italy. It also known as the Water City. One of the most beautiful city in the world. This is a must-stop point for you if you are visiting or going to visit Italy.

I stayed in Venice for 2 days 1 night. We departed from Skavsta (Sweden) airport. Upon the arrival to the airport, we took bus by ATVO to Venice . It costs 5 Euro / passenger. It is very reasonable price and the bus is comfortable enough too.

The tourist information center is very near to be bus station. It has a machine which sells Venice’s map. My advise is forget about the map. It will not be enough to guide you because it is a maze inside Venice… If you want to go to the tourists spot… rules of thumb -  Follow The Crowd! Also, the road / floor also has small arrow that point you to the San Marco square.

Venice is well-known by its buildings with amazing architecture on top of the water. Also, it is a car-less city! You don’t see vehicle with engines except boats… which is very good for tourists! Having said that, it is really cost us a lot of moves to take our baggage over the bridges before we found our hostel…
(* Reminder… there is a BIG HUGE bridge right at the city entrance which lead to the train station, don’t climb it with your baggage…)

Souvenir can be found almost every where with almost the same price… be sure you buy the mask once you found the right one. It is because after you leave Venice, it is rarely any more choices for you in the other cities …

Very lucky that is an friendly old man approaches us and offer himself to point us the direction to our hostel. It really save us a lot of time to walk through the maze with our baggage. The hostel is just 7 minutes walk from the bus station and not bad at all! Private double room with queen size bed, air-con and windows! Clean and tidy! Free breakfast + flow free coffee!!

We leave our baggage and hunt for lunch… Guess what you would try during for the first meal in Italy?! Of course pizza!

In Venice, you can find almost every restaurant sells pizza in different flavor. Also, a lot of kebab too!

We had our lunch and continue our hunt for cheap Gelato (1 Euro)!  We found it and the seller also know how to great us in Chinese.

After we had the gelato, we found the cheapest combo meals in Venice too. But we never buy anything because we were full… wrong timing

Venice has a lot of bridges connection each piece of small island. In between each small island, it forms really cool view canal! Although the weather is not too nice but the picture turns out without much regret too

Not wasting anymore time from you. Here I present to you the most wanted San Marco square’s photo!

** Due to loading speed… full album is ready in my facebook or picasa.

The view of Venice from top. Not much people have this view tho, at least for the website I been into :hehehe:

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy my stay in Venice!

Happy viewing!

My Euro-trip started in Stockholm city. Discard the work days, had extended two days – one night to stay in Stockholm to enjoy the city.

Right after my wife arrived, we head to meet a net friend of mine! Yes, you see it right. NET friend

I get to know her because of a Swedish friend… yes, another net friend. At that time, they were still together but not now. (that’s quite a disappointment because I did not get to meet the Swedish… anyway, there’s always chance!)

I met her once, like 5 years ago… She travel around Asia and when she stop at Malaysia, we (me and  my wife) picked her up for some bak kut teh and roti canai! Time flies… 5 years gone and it is my luck to meet her again in Stockholm! We had some chat about life and how’s things had changed… It was a great start for my trip!

We rented a small cabin inside a boathouse. It is really small… but enough for 2. It has sufficient spaces for you to have your dinner and a clean restaurant. Overall, it is not bad.

This is the view from the boat restaurant windows.

Our day definitely started with not too good weather… It is because the weather is not good… the sun was hidden behind the clouds and very windy.

The first stop for the day is the Royal Palace. The timing was perfect! We had the chance to witness the The Royal Guard exchange which is a old tradition of Sweden. It happens every sunday at 12:00 PM near the Royal Palace in Stockholm. (Hopefully I am correct :P) . A lot of visitors were queued up for the performance!

Herewith some photos of the guard exchange. Live performances presented as well. (I believe we shoot a movie of it… will dig it out and post it later )

For the two days in Stockholm, we had walked through the old town (Gamla Stan) and also the city centre… Nothing notable but everything looks so new to us!

This is the landmark in front of my company office.

Some building and scenery shots… from various places such as on top of the bridge that connecting city centre with Gamla Stan, the city hall and etc…

Of course some night view…

To be honest, the weather is really cold which caused me really hesitated to move my hand out from pocket to take photo… (definitely not a reason for not producing high quality shots…)

I hope you enjoy the photo as much as I enjoy Stockholm!

As most of you know, I just got back after travelling around these 3 countries – Sweden, Italy and Netherlands.

I only able to cover Stockholm for Sweden and Amsterdam in Netherlands. Italy is my primary focus, been into Venice, Rome, Florence and Pisa.

Taken a lot of photo but before I start posting it. I would like to share this with you while it is still fresh in my memory…

It could be very useful if you are planning a Europe trip especially to the 3 countries that I visited.

These are my gains on the trip, of course, with some painful cost too.

Let’s start it now.

1. If you want cheap flight, go for Ryanair, but it is not cheap if you do not book with discounted price… You have to check it daily, it will change the price and you only book it when it reaches your price. Normally the flight can go as cheap as 10 Euros… It could save you hundred of Euros if you book 2-3 return flights.

2. Get a weekly pass on train or buses if you going to stay longer in a city. It will usually cheaper if you factor in the time you saved from walking. However, if you are hardcore backpacker who want to walk and has plenty of time to experience the atmosphere… then forget this. LoL.

3. Always plan your itinerary and book necessary accommodation and transportation in advance. It will save you a lot!

3. This is painful lesson… The City Terminal in Stockholm is not backpacker friendly. It close on 12AM and open on 3AM. If you have early buses or train… You better find a place to stay for the night, for example, go to the airport because it usually don’t close… If you really want to stay around the city, you can choose to spend your midnight in the Mc Donald nearby the terminal. It is 24/7…

4. When you are at Venice… No need to spend 2 euro to buy the map… It is a maze. Just follow the crowd… You should be able to reach the tourist spot… How you can get back to your hostel… That is up to your memory :P

5.  In Italy, street food are cheap! Home cook cheapest! Restaurant are evil.

6. If you travelling around Italy by inter-city train. Be sure you reach the terminal an hour earlier than the schedule because some terminals are really huge, it will take some times to walk to your train…

7. English does not work for Italy. Prepare for the worst!

8. Mc Donald offer the cheapest fast food (burgers)! 1 euro 1 burger.

9. Train in Netherlands has different type namely, intercity, sneltrein and sprinter… I could be wrong but this is a hard-learnt experience where all the sign board are not written in English…

Intercity – Stop every city (Note: not every station or terminal but only those marked “IC”)
Sneltrein – Slight more stopping point (Note: only stop at terminal with those marked “IC” and “S”)
Sprinter – Stop every station / terminal.

10. Most toilet costs money… some are free on major tourist spots. If paying for pee is not cost-effective for you. You can either find a tree to cover up or always empty it when you sees free toilet.

11. Generally, the people in hostel are very approachable. Spend time to introduce yourself and talk to them. Perhaps you can add a few more friends to your FB

I have more to write but this is getting very lengthy. If you are about to go to these countries. Drop me a mail or leave me a message, I will be gladly to share my itinerary with you.

Last but not least, I am kind of surprise because I met 2 foreigners that speak Mandarin with me… First is an Swedish old lady in Stockholm, and a handsome father from United States who I met in Ventican.

Hope you find this useful!

Unlike Pattaya, Krabi is smaller and much more quiet town. Having said that, this is the attraction for tourist to stay. I liked the way on how this place is located. It is nearer to Malaysia. The flight took us around 45 minutes to reach there from Kuala Lumpur! Awesome speed!

We were there during off peak season. The streets are not too crowded. It is a good time to visit Krabi during off peak season, it is because you can fully enjoy the environment. During my trip, I do not find many Asians travel to this place, on the other hand, I do see a lot of western countries tourists, this can be seen from the street… strange…

This trip is so relax and I enjoy it very much. There is nothing to do in Krabi, the town has not much to visit either… We were brought to the town for a half day tour and lunch too. The duck noodle is very delicious! Better than any duck noodles that I tasted in Malaysia!!

After a visit to the town, we check-in our hotel. The room is not bad. This is a 4 stars hotel which is comfortable to stay in. The first day ended with a windy beach view dinner.

Herewith some photos taken within the hotel. I liked the flare because I risk my eyes to take it! LoL

The second day, it is a full day trip for island hopping. Four islands to go! The price for Island Hopping trip varies from the type of boat you pick. If you picked those old Long Tail Boat, it roughly cost you RM20 / person to go on board… I am one with lots of wealth and very scary to die, so I take speedboat! LoL, you must be thinking I have a private ferry over there? heh heh heh, too early to dream…

While waiting for the speedboat to be ready, the tour guide make a sand dog for us to spend our pathetic waiting time… LoL

The last one is another good view I taken during this trip, lakeside feel~~

This is one small island that I taken its photo which I am in the speedboat with 200KMH reading… Amazingly, it did not turn out blur.

After some hours from snorkeling and hopping! We reached to the MAYA BAY!! The sand is so soft and white! The beach is soooooooo beautiful (there is not enough o to describe the charm of it). This is where The Beach was filmed! The beach is now fully crowded by human… hence making the photoshooting almost impossible for me…

But never under estimate the power of the charming surroundings. Again, I manage to find a spot without people but a boat! Set! The boat is my model now!

Our last destination for Island Hopping is Phi Phi Island, a high commercialized island with a lot of shops and tourists. We had a buffet lunch over there… nothing great but was tasty too!

The third day, of course, we booked for KAYAK (canoeing – in English?)! A must try activity in Krabi.

We took the 7KM challenge – half day tour. Of course, Malaysia boleh! Although we are the last one to reach the end point… All mat-salleh can kayak faster than us… I am slow because I took photography, ok?  

Ok… the third day dinner, looking into our wallet, we have plenty of $ left and there are no beggers take all those money. So we decided to spend it on food! Had a very full dinner with 4 main dishes and 1 salad!

Krabi’s food is very tasty, for a Malaysian. I tried food in Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok. I found Krabi’s food matches my taste perfectly. The price is not expensive either – around KL pricing. Ehhh… this is a travel post, so I don’t want to post more food photo… (shhhhhh not because of I am busy eating and forgot to take photo…)

Anyway, the fourth day, I took this photo in the airports while waiting for the flight. See~ even the airport feels empty relax !

I enjoyed the entire trip very much. Also, it raise my urge for retirement again…

Notes:

Photos were taken with and direct from my 450D except the seafood. Most people doesn’t believe that Canon can have this kind of coloring, most claims I heavily photoshop these photos… Anyway, for ones who know me, I am not the one who like to waste time in editing photo… Stop saying I own a better gears now too… All photos were shoot with 18-55 kit lens too… Go figure out how I can do this rather than saying impossible to do it with Canon :P

** 真的是病到失忆，在泰国的行程全都记错了。。。如果我有写错，你就尽管狠狠的，不留情面的。。。指指点点我吧**

其实在第二天，我们有吃燕窝。

听说泰国满街都卖燕窝的。。。 但是事实并不如此啦。这燕窝还真是千呼万唤始出来，要不是导游带我们去，就没有吃到的了。。。

去到了MBK，什么都没有买到，只是在那里吃了午饭

我知道你想说什么，一定是在骂我敷衍你们，没有认真地写这一篇文章。。。 我也想啊！可是当时的记忆对我来说就像过了十年那么的遥远啊～～～

从泰国回来后，我就大病了两天，还不时梦见以下的情景，白光不断的空间。。。

From Bangkok Pattaya July 2008

这次就这样算了吧~~~  完整的图片都在Picasa里, 有很多食物的照片都在那里哦~~~ 快快去看吧~~~

** For full photo album of my Thailand Trip, please click here **

第二天，一早就起床了。吃了早餐就出发到珊瑚岛！

你看到吗？那么有朝气的靓仔还真少见啊！！（拿着拖鞋的型仔。。。）   每个人看了降落伞的照片都知道我是“大”哥哦~~~ 哈哈！！

这就是真正的香蕉船了啊！！原本最多5个人一条香蕉，但是无良又现实的负责人还是硬硬的把我们逼在一起。。。 以上的水上活动，全部都是自费的。旅游的臭鸡蛋还对我们说“你们在珊瑚岛的一切，我们都包了！” 他妈的大话精，连来回珊瑚岛的船费都要自费，你到底包了什么给我们？！

珊瑚岛上的沙滩，有很多海胆的壳。如果是完整的海胆，一定会是美味的刺身。哈哈！ 走下走下，还发现了一条海蚯蚓。

这两张照片应该是这次旅行的代表作了！ 是不是动感无限呢？ 自己还蛮喜欢的！

在珊瑚岛待了半天后，我们就会酒店换衣服。 吃了午餐，又再到了另一个动物园看老虎，猪，狗和鳄鱼。。。 说真的，这次的旅行应该把小公主一起带来。。。如果她会看动物了。。。

晚餐后，也是逛街呢～～～　

然后啊。。。明天就病到七彩了。。。

第一天，早上七点就到了吉隆坡廉价机场了。一路上，巴士阿叔的驾驶技术好比藤原拓海的技术。。。只是他差点把我肚子里的早餐都到了出来。 飞机没有延迟。我们比预定早了5分钟到达曼谷机场。 机场里有很多泰国神像，也有很多看不懂的泰国文字。。。 下机后的第一站，就是被“卖猪仔”去一间皮制品工厂去浪费时间。。。

"浪费时间”后，我们到了“东南亚最大的野生动物园和海洋公园". 看到了老虎，狮子，黑熊，白鹤，斑马和很多很多的动物。。。而且还是超近距离的，如果没有隔着旅行巴士的镜子，一定会有更棒的照片的。但是哦。。。里面的动物都是懒懒散散的。。。 看完了之后，就被带到动物园里的食堂吃午餐。。。那还真是他妈的难吃。。。还溺漫着一股动物粪便的气味。吃的十分的难过。。。

过了动物园， 我们就一路向北的坐到巴提雅的中部。来到了一间像是中式餐馆的地方吃晚餐。 可能是午餐太差了，导致遇到这样的晚餐，我也没有一丝怨言的吃的饱饱的~~

晚餐后，入住了“黄金海岸酒店”(Golden Beach Hotel)。一进房间，觉得还不错，可是当我一翻开住客指南。。。看到了上一位住客留给我的“信息”。我当场的毛骨悚然！ 可是天生乐观的我，很快的把自己给催眠了。。。 放下行李就下楼去逛街！

在街上逛了很久，看见了很多人妖~~~ 找了很久才找到的芒果糯米饭 (50泰铢）！然后在街边看到了面档，看上去还不错的样子，就买了一碗面（35泰铢）来试试。 芒果糯米饭真的很特别哦~~~ 芒果的香味和甜味，糯米饭的一点咸味和稍微粘粘的口感和芒果很搭啊！很好吃~~ 那一碗面，看起来很普通，吃了第一口，我才想起了午餐和晚餐的全部都是垃圾！这一碗面，虽然是街边货，可是味道和口感都属于不错的食物。我强烈的建议你买来吃，比起马来西亚的猪肉粉有过之而无不及的哦~~

这样的。。。一天过去了，明天就要到“珊瑚岛”了(Coral Island)。水上活动的天堂哦~~ 值得回来看看的！

应该是从2004年开始，我对摄影产生了兴趣。还不至于如痴如醉，但是多了一份要把经历都画面化的冲动。

摄影对我来说，应该是一件很难掌握的好的一门学问。可是，在朋友和互联网的帮助下，我也对摄影有了多一点的了解。

相信我所拍的食物照片都让各位垂涎三尺了吧。我对食物照真的也有一些自信。

我回顾了一些照片，发现了一些可以成为代表作的哦， 可惜的是，没有食物照啊！来评评语吧！

第一张是2005年，在韩国汉江上拍的。 你觉得如何呢？

第二张是在2007年在BALI拍的。我很喜欢这张照片的颜色。

第三张也是在BALI拍的。 这应该是目前我拍得最好看的花了。。。

第四张，也是BALI拍的，我很喜欢这一张照片，因为颜色和构图都将我当时所看到和感受到的都表现出来了。。。

最后一张。。。 和第四张一样的画面，只是角度和光线的差别。拍这两张的照片相差不到10秒。但是以下的照片却多了一个致命的缺陷。我用了8个月的时间才发现到的。。。

你有看到是什么缺陷吗？

Last week, the company had organized a trip to Port Dickson for the sake of team building. Yes! Team building.

When we talk about Port Dickson, it must be related to beach and seaside camp fire BBQ! Unfortunately, the resort did not have a beach... furthermore, we don't have a BBQ session too... quite disappointed. But what to complaint? It don't cost a cent! Haha!

This is the food that the resort provided. Definitely not tasty but no choice...

The camera crew... I would love to have cheer-leader team rather than this... Haha!

See me? Go kart only! Take it easy! (It is actually harder to control than you can imagine...)  

The next morning, we went to the Blue Lagoon beach. The beach is just ugly. Rubbish everywhere...

The first photo, I would love to take the flare but I failed... It is actually very tiring to do so and I scare that will spoil my camera len so I did not try until success. The second photo failed too... I wanted to take down the photo with the feeling of "good weather" and "nice coconut tree"... ehhh you know what I want to say. Haha!

Yeah! Seafood lunch before we happily end the trip. The coconut is not picked from the tree, ok? hehe. Did you see C.R.A.B ? Oh well, it did not taste as good as it looks...

That's it for the trip. I taken a lot of photo but mostly with some human faces inside. It is not nice to publish here so I skip it.

Some weeks ago, Khang asked me whether or not to join their forum gathering at Bukit Cahaya... I am not sure what are the activities but I got the urge to test my new toy so my answer to him is "Yes. If you have a seat for me." Hehe. I am too lazy to drive plus I really don't know where is Bukit Cahaya.

After that, I totally forgot about this "deal" until 2 days ago, Salty and Oreo came to Kepong Milwaukee to find Kepong F4 (we are actually F5 but we seldom get along) for drinks... Then they ask this question "Hey! Kok mING, are you going to join us for the Bukit Cahaya trip?" . Now, only I recall that is actually a "deal" previously. So I ask Khang for a friendly fetch but he needs to go milking fetch a girl. So I end up in White's car with Ryan!

At the very early morning, Ryan gave me a morning call. How sweet! Although I am ready and watching Astro before he calls me ...

After the breakfast with two of them. We straight away drive to Bukit Cahaya.

We grabbed the ticket, read the map, go in and rent a bicycle! Yes! BICYCLE! We are going to ride it! ... Huh?What?! I was not told that we need to ride... The last cycling that I did is like 8 years ago... At this point of time, I think of David! I need someone to tell me how to do a painless 3 hours ride... Please...

My bumblebee for the day!

After we walk-ride around 10 minutes... We take our first rest! Yes! 10 minutes. Just nice for a warm up... Check the photo... How to ride in a group? How happy to get a rest? and... Ryan's bicycle is the tall-type of mountain bike...

After that, we are on our own... no more waiting for group. Just follow the road and ride till the end... I take quite a lot of "pauses" to take some photos. Hehe. That's why I am so slow that day...

Can you tell me what is this kind of tree or fruit?

After like 1 hour ride. We reached the Cactus Garden... Pretty impressive where you see a lots of Cactus with flowers on top.

After wasting a lot of time, we go back to the starting point... just for the sake of visiting the fucking lousy Four Season House! It is the house where the workers will "decorate" it with certain season theme plus flowers according to the calendar month. The current theme is Spring. Ehhhh. Spring! Luckily it is not summer... Taken a lot of flowers, but due to the room light give not enough exposure to the photo. I am too lazy to edit it or to fake it... I post some "still" ok for you to see. If you want to go in there... My advice, please bring your food into it and have a picnic!

These are the other flower photos.

Lastly, we took off to have a Bak Kut Teh somewhere at Klang!

做完SPA之后，回酒店CHECK OUT了。。。 然后就带着依依不舍的心情到机场登机了。。。 哈哈！ 午餐是Mc Donald！！！味道很咸。。。

上了飞机。。。 就飞回来了。。。

这趟的旅程真的很棒！ 一个人大约花了RM800。 很难忘啊！ 下一站是北海道！！ 哈哈！！ 对于失业的我来说可能有一些困难吧！ 但是，目标还是要定下的。 我们就朝着各自的目标出发吧！

第三天， 到酒店的餐厅吃早餐。 呵呵。 我也吃了5-6碟。。。 天气不好了。。。 一早就下雨 :(

第一站还是神庙， 哈哈！Bali岛的神庙真的很多。 这个神庙是在高山区。 气温凉凉爽爽的， 很舒服。那两座塔也被印在纸币上，可见这个地方也是印尼的重要地标 :) 。这里也有很多花。 呵呵！

午餐前夕， 我们到了当地的菜市。 那里有卖超多的香料！！ 可惜的是。。。 我不会做饭。 哈哈！！ 入宝山也只有空手而回了。

又是自助午餐！ 这家的食物还不错， 总算有了多一点的Bali味道！！ 哈哈！！！ 我们位于高山地带。所以有雾是很正常的

午餐后，去到了海神庙！ 这里和早上的地方是两极的对比。。。 这里阳光普照！ 非常的热啊！！

还是有阳光的照片最漂亮。哈哈！！

看到了这么大浪。。。 突然想起了小学时儿歌 “白浪滔滔我不怕~~~~” 哈哈哈哈！ 献丑了。。。 啊！我还在那里纹身了。 呵呵！有型吧？

我本想买一些手工艺品回来给一些寂寞难耐的朋友。。。 。。。 哈哈！！

晚餐时中华料理！！ 我更你说。。。 在马来西亚，同等级数的餐厅也未必可以煮出比这家好吃的食物！！ 好好吃啊~~~~！！！

回到了酒店。。。 才发现还没拍酒店的正门。。。 哈哈！！ 连忙的拍了一张！！ 呵呵！！ 那个有纹身的帅哥好有型哦！！！

洗澡后，上了顶楼吹吹风。。。 很休闲啊！我好爱这样的生活啊！！　我喜欢下面游泳池的照片，静静的感觉。

第二天， 到酒店的餐厅吃早餐。 呵呵。 我吃了5-6碟。。。 反正给了钱， 不吃白不吃！ 哈哈！ 如果你是大胃王， 欢迎你来挑战哦！！

早餐后， 出发去看印尼的"歌舞剧"(Barung Dance)。 有印尼式的现场交响乐团和TWINS哦~~~ 哈哈！！ 看完了，被载到木雕工厂看木雕了。。。 你真的不可不佩服他们的艺术才华啊！全人手制作，很厉害哦！

看了木雕后，也被载到卖布（Batik） 和卖银的商店。。。 什么收获都没有。。。 哈哈！！ 我没有多余的钱嘛。。。 午餐时间到了！来到了GRAND PUNCAK SARI 餐厅。 在高原地带的。 以前是火山区哦！餐厅供应的都是西式的印尼餐。。。 不怎么样美味。 但是我还是吃了很多。呵呵。。。

吃了午餐， 出发去了一间神庙，第二张照片是以前SUKARNO 的家哦！不要以为那些是普通的水池哦！！ 导游告诉我们，那是圣水 (Holy Water) 。 传说这些圣水救了无数兵士的性命啊！有起死回生的效用。。。 真假就不知道哦。。。 我用来洗脸了。 希望可以把好运给洗上脸啊！！ 差点就要把硬币投入池中许愿了， 可是没有做到因为毕竟是想想而已。 哈哈！ 

别误会我喜欢穿裙子。。。 因为刚好那天是重要的节日。 连当地的法师也祈祷了。。。 根据习俗， 我们需要这么穿的。 否则不能进入。

我本人觉得以下的一张照片很漂亮。因为很"阳光"啊！ 看了就觉得很温暖。哈哈！！ 前面的几张， 我都捉不到正确的角度和光线。。。 还好也让我拍到了这一张

很快的， 晚餐时间有到了。 今天是到Jimbaran吃海鲜！而且还是面对着夕阳和大海的SUNSET DINNER！！ 我对你说。。。 那种感觉超棒的！！！ 在马来西亚， 我没有试过这样的一个晚餐！！听着海浪声， 看着夕阳和星辉的交替。 笔墨难以形容的一种感觉啊！！ 现场还有Live Band 助兴啊！！！ 只是这个晚餐就已经可以说不枉此行了！！！

Yoooooo!!!!!! 期待已久的Bali岛之旅终于在快乐和依依不舍的心情下渡过了。

Bali岛的风情真的让我感到非常的逍遥自在。 虽然旅客很多但是我并不会觉得陌生， 可能在马来西亚已经见惯了吧。Bali岛真的是艺术之岛啊！ 到处都可以看到不同的木雕，石雕，画和手工艺品。 哈哈！ 如果你没有狠心的杀价技术， 我劝你还是不要买任何东西了。。。 我买的东西都是大约杀了120% 才成交的。 例如他们开价100K， 你可以回价20K， 讨价还价到30K， 你可以走人了。 如果他们可以卖， 他们会卖的。。。 没有一定的价格。。。 你问导游，他也不会和你说当地的价格的。 毕竟你是游客啊！ 所以买东西还是有一个底价才买哦。

5月6日， 天晴。 乘着AirAsia的“空中巴士”浩浩荡荡的向Bali岛出发啦~~~~ 

11点的飞机， 2点多就到达了。 :) 还不会太辛苦的。 呵呵。

Bali岛的第一站， 就是我们所住的酒店。 Mercure Kuta Bali Hotel! 有4颗星的哦~~~ 还是在HardRock酒店的隔壁~~~ 这是一间非常有Bali风的酒店。 让我觉得值回“票价”了。 哈哈！

酒店的中央，还有一个鲤鱼池哦～～

把行李处理好之后，导游也走了。自由活动的时间开始了。　当然是拍下Bali街道的景色啦。 还蛮多车子的。。。 毕竟是旅游景点嘛。。。

哈哈！！ 酒店前面，隔一条马路就是海边了！！！ 超多人的哦！！！！ 好多人在滑浪。。。 也有很多印尼版的沙滩小子“Beach Boy”

我是一只旱鸭子， 有自知之明， 不会和大海斗的。。。 我还是会酒店的顶楼的游泳池玩水好了。 哈哈！不要骂我啦。。。 去Bali岛不一定要海浴的嘛。。。 哦~~~ 差点就要露点了。。。 哈哈！ 我那么瘦， 没有看头的啦！ 隔壁的HardRock酒店还有人造沙滩。。。 好厉害哦！

我跟你说。。。 以下这几张照片可以说是这趟旅途的代表作！全部都是没有经过电脑加工的。。。 保证原汁原味！！ 本人觉得超有感觉的。。。

酒店的餐厅是对这游泳池的 。 哦！有花！！ 我当然要拍下啦。 石头也没有放过哦。 哈哈！ 那两张床是给酒店的客人做SPA用的。 

还有几张日落的照片， 但是不很满意。。。 还过得去啦。

很快的就吃晚餐了。。。 餐厅太暗了。。。 没有拍到食物。。。 但是可以看到游泳池。 呵呵。

吃饱了就上街走走。很方便的。 走几步路就可以到达购物广场 。

我再一次说明。我是绝对的KFC迷。。。 哈哈！到了Bali， 我还不忘买KFC来吃。 有点失望因为味道太咸了。。。 遗憾的是Bali的街道都没有买一些当地的小食。。。

哈哈！这就是第一天的旅程了。。。 还有很多照片！我正在整理啊！ 给我一点时间吧！

Hey guys and girls.

I am back from the lovely BALI Island trip! It was a great trip! Worth the price! I spent around RM900/person for this 4 days 3 nights trip. Simply cost effective! Notably F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C. with nice beach and scene!! The hotel is the greatest hotel among all that I had visited. Stay tune for photos! I need sometimes to get it organize!!

Anyway, I am all good with the jobs...

During the trip, I received 2 resume requests from JobStreet and JobsDB. I am considering it because both request did not give me much on job details. Thanks for you concern. I will keep you update on this.

My next move is to get some "free" training ... Long time ago, I heard that people who is retrenched can apply for a free training course which the fees will be bared by the government(a kind of human resource development fund). Well, it definitely worth a try since I got nothing but to keep upgrading myself in order to stay sharp in this competative market.

Most likely, I will stay to work on "something" to gather the greatest money in shortest time... Hm... I am not sure how to do it but I "drafting" and "carving" the plan now. Let's see whether or not I can get the "kick" started.

Errr... during my free time. I am up for any freelance job too. If you have any way to earn some money ... amount does not matter, you are always welcome to send me an email or leave me message. We can discuss about it.

That's all for now :)

不如意的事情每天都在发生。 尽了能力还是不能扭转乾坤， 也不好听天由命。 一定要用尽所有方法去才可以说不可能。。。所以我又去看花了。。。 虽然我知道帮助不大但是至少还可以帮我把压力和思想焦点转移到别处。。。

哈哈！ 我真的好悲啊！ 压力并不是工作。。。 压力源于自己的要求。。。 还有我绝对知道自己在浪费时间。。。 无奈的是我不可以失去收入来源。。。 在自我要求的压力之下，也要面对的是老板的压迫感。。。 还有一直的为自己找出路， 不想因为这么一时的失意而让自己的工作热情给浇熄了。。。 我一路上很有拼劲的前进， 很有朝气的面对任何状况。 我不想被这么的一个低潮而停顿。 一旦少了这样的冲劲，事业是很难会开花的。。。

不说了。 每天都在想。 不想让你们被我的事情影响 :P  哈哈！ 如果已经影响了。。。 就别怪我啊。。。

向你赔罪啦~~~ 看看照片吧。 我家附近的一个公园， 以前是一个废矿湖！现在有很多人到那里放风筝的哦！！

我真的是要把我的风水叔叔当成神来拜了。。。 还记得我新年的时候有去拜访他吗？ 当时他对我说工作上会有很多的压力和问题。。。 当时我把他的话当着笑话。

就像先知一样， 叔叔他告诉了我， 当我有压力和工作问题的时候不妨到有花的公园走走。 有一定的帮助。。。

真的想电影的剧情一样。 他的话成真了， 我当然是立刻依照他的指示， 每个周末都去看花。

两个星期前， 我去到了福隆港，Fraser Hill。 坏境还不错， 也有一些花儿。。。 看看照片吧

那里还有一个供认划船的湖泊。。。 风景不错！也有一间很洋式的酒店。

不知道是有血光之灾还是小祸是福。。。 我被水蛭盯上了。。。 被吸了好多的血啊！！！ 当我发现时， 它已经吸够了，掉落到地上了。 当然， 以我的性格， 就算被吸了， 也不会白白让它溜走的。 我用脚踏它。。。 将我的血从它的身上踏出来！ 场面血腥至极！！ 我不给， 它不可吸！！！

被吸血了， 伤口还一直不停的流血。。。 应该有3个小时才止血。。。 还要从Fraser Hill驾车回KL的家。。。

在回家的途中， 发现了一个水坝。 风景很好的。 拍了几张照片哦！

这趟的旅途， 并没有把我的烦恼带走。 可是我也觉悟了。。。 凡事不可强求， 对自己也不可有太高要求。 发觉了原来好风景是有的， 只是自己的视野太狭窄， 往往都没有注意到原来世界是这么的大， 这么广阔的。 何必为了一时的失意而毁了自己的人生？ 我也有心要开始把眼睛望向世界！不要再为小小的工作坏境而烦恼。 我越来越期待将要来临的Bali岛之旅！！ 好期待哦！！！

终于来到了香港自由行的最后一天。

我们的搭快艇回到了澳门 (MACAU)。 哈哈， 下船后就上了巴士要去大牌坊出发。。。  :P 好笑的是我们不知道要在哪里下车。。。  但是最后还是凭直觉下车的。  哈哈。

下船之后的第一餐， 当然是道地的葡萄牙餐! 花了不少的时间才找到一间有展示葡萄牙餐牌的餐厅。 叫了2 样葡萄牙菜， 葡萄牙式烧鱼和非洲鸡。。。 不要问我问什么非洲鸡是葡国菜， 我也是受店长“影响”的。  呵呵， 味道平凡， 可能是我吃惯了马来西亚的食物， 所以对香港的食物有所保留。

吃饱了就逛街。 店长也很热情的告诉我们如何去到大牌坊。 他还教我们去参观大炮台哦！

看完了大炮，大牌坊就近在眼前了！ 真的是旅游景点 ， 超多游客的哦！！ 还给我看到了裸女！！！

哦！ 还有一张帅哥的照片！！

在搭巴士去机场的途中， 拍了澳门塔和两间赌场的照片。。。 第一张照片不是神庙哦 ， 是赌场， 我相信里面有赌神哦！！ 哈哈哈哈！！！

最后在机场吃晚餐。。。  对啦！ 就是葡挞和猪扒饱！ 不用说。。。 你也知道AirAsia 的飞机延迟了。。。。 白等了90分钟。

我们期待五月BALI岛之旅吧！！ 我一定会拍超多的照片回来的！！！

真的不好意思哦， 现在才有时间整理照片。 今天终于可以让你看到香港自由行 - 第二天 的行程了！

一早起床， 洗涮完毕， 就出去找早餐吃了。

走了一阵， 发现了目标。 立刻的走进去坐下， 快快的点了2份早餐。 食物是肠粉， 烧卖， 白粥和油条。 油条超好吃的！ 又大又脆口！ 正！

吃饱了， 不多说， 立刻乘地铁启程到香港Disney Land!

由于时间的关系再加上金钱的不足。。。 所以没有进去玩 。 天黑黑的。。。 下起了毛毛雨， 连忙的离开， 去登山！ 对啊！ 去到香港就要上太平山， 去看看电视剧常说的景点啊~~

登山后， 肚子饿了。 又去找吃了。 哈哈！ 找到一间餐馆， 有特价的 :-P 。 吃了海鲜焖饭和麻婆豆腐饭。 味道还不错

吃饱了， 在街上随便走走。 竟然走到了Time Square。 呵呵， 真的很大哦。

逛完了Time Square, 居然毫无目的的走到了菜市。。。 在马来西亚，  一年也没有去菜市一次。。。 到了香港居然反常了。 人就是这样的， 国外的菜市比较好。 哈哈！

逛累了， 口渴了， 发现了糖水店！ 走进去吃了炖蛋和喝了杨枝金露。

“充电” 完毕后再逛！ 看到了卖糕点的店， 买了绿茶马蹄糕。 还有的是。。。 下面的瓦煲焖牛肉好像真的很好吃啊！ 但是没有买。。。

时候不早了， 回Hotel休息啊。 香港的公共交通真的很方便。。。 竟然还有免费上网的电脑哦。 如果马来西亚可以学到， 我们就不会在等火车时喊闷了！

晚餐是在菜市买的烧鹅腿饭和糕点！！

吃了晚饭， 又跑去“女人街”！ 很像这里的Petaling Street哦！

买了荷叶饭做宵夜

这就是第二天了。

第三天有葡萄牙菜和猪扒饱哦！ 敬请期待了。

Yes! Its true!! Its real!!! You are definitely not dreaming now!!!!

Air Asia issues email for member to have 1 day member pre-booking on those free seats!

ok ok... Seeing is believing! Check the screen capture here!

Now you believe? haha. Don't ask  me where I am heading to... because... because... the Air Asia server is too busy to handle my booking... I am not sure it is booked or not... and the website say do not repeat the booking because it might create double entry/booking = double charges into credit card... sad huh? But I am so optimistic! I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!

Dudes, get your lazy ass moving now! Book your flight now!! Now 3veryone Can Fly®©™

9月份的时候去了香港3天。 哈哈， 没有买到什么东西。。。 ：（ 因为我的风水叔叔说不可以买衣服和鞋子。。。 所以你也不用跟我要手信了。 2个月了， 什么都吃光了啊！ 呵呵。

虽然没有买到什么， 但是还是拍了一些照片回来。 有很多但是我懒惰。。。 没有心情去选 :P  现在让你看看第一天的一些精华吧！

匆忙的吃过早餐就从澳门搭船过香港了。。。 美心早餐，　味道还可以。

刚下飞机， 到了香港就挂起了3号风球和红色暴雨警报， 有够黑仔。。。

用这么大只的手来求停雨。。。 也是没有用。。。 。。。

雨一直下， 没有了户外活动。。。 只好逛商店。。。 值得一提的是， 香港的商店在雨天都会有雨伞带给顾客， 以免满地都是雨水。。。 马来西亚真的需要学习啊！

哟！　又到了午餐时间，　穿插了无数的大街小巷，　找到了一间餐室，　点了两个套餐。　是猪排饭和鱼排饭，　有罗宋汤和饮料。　大约马币１５元/set，　和马来西亚的香港茶餐室的价格差不多但是份量就大很多了。。。　马来西亚的香港茶餐室的猪排饭只给你１快猪排。。。　香港的给３块啦！！　饭还是超大碟的！！！　唉，算了吧。　什么东西来到了马来西亚都会缩水的。。。　只有价格变大。。。

吃饱了就搭地铁回ｈｏｔｅｌ　ｃｈｅｃｋ－ｉｎ. 小睡了一会， 再上街走走， 顺便找晚餐。。。 呵呵 睡饱了就想到吃， 没办法啦。。。 吃的是福， 吃多点会死吗？ 不会死， 对不对？ ：P

我和你说， 千万不要小看香港的雨水。。。 说下就下， 完全不理会你的心情的。。。 真是幸运。。。 刚刚走出hotel， 雨又来陪我逛街了。。。 下大雨， 跑不远。 所以就到附近的商场走走。。。

去到了Toy Mart, 一座大厦， 90% 的店铺是买玩具的。 呵呵 让我看到了多拉A梦， 立刻拍了2张照片。：Ｄ

然后在电器店前等雨停。。。　在香港买电脑，手机和数码相机都不会便宜。。。　其他的就不知道了

雨停后，　走到了女人街　：Ｄ　就像马来西亚的Petaling Street. 在那里吃了章鱼烧。 还找到了晚餐的目标！！ 就是大大碗车仔面和碗仔翅。 哈哈。 我就是这种贪图小便宜的人了。。。 

吃饱了， 有力气了！ 跑去了星光大道！！ 看夜景。。。 呵呵。 旅游景点嘛， 免费的。 不去白不去。

就这样的走走看看在跑跑坐坐的， 时候不早了就回hotel。

在路上看到了7-11， 就进去看看有什么香港的道地饮料可以买来睡前喝的。 哈哈 宵夜嘛~~~ 竟然给我看到了。。。 旧街场白咖啡。。。 哈哈。 Malaysia Boleh 哦！

好了， 第一天就是这样了。。。 如果想看第2天和第3天的照片， 就留下想看的comment！ ：）

全部照片都经过压缩， 原来的画质是1200*1600 的。 如果你想要， 就留言啊。 我会发给你的！ ：）
