shed a tear

Yi we qi ji hui fa sheng

it's still fresh in my mind

the incident of getting robbed on the streets

traumatizing

scared

nervous

shocked

those were the emotions running wild after it happened

i came bac from Songkla that evening

a place where everyone should go when ur visiting hatyai

or else it would be a waste

reached 'hotel'

took some rest

went out to search for a cyber cafe just to update my facebook status =.="

and headed of to the streets

roaming aimlessly

just wanted to explore the whole of hatyai

cause it wasn't easy to memorize all the street names

took me a while to recognize using the buildings

as i roamed farther from town...

i got lost

and it was quite hard to find a tut tut car

guessed i ventured a bit too far

it was starting to drizzle

so i tried my very best to search for an exit

but i was approached by 2 men

dark skin

both not too tall

definitely older than me

i thought they were just being frenly trying to talk to me

but instead

one men drew out his penknife

a small one. not too big

and pointed at me

at that point

(OH SHIT flashed my mind)

all i could do was trying to calm down

cause i dunno wtf shit they were talking in thai

then the other men searched for my WhiteBerry

and held to it 1st

niamaccbknnwtfbbq!!!!!!!!

of all things.. took my phone 1st.. FCK!!

i couldn't do anything but tremble in fear

next they wanted my wallet

and i had to take it out

i held on to some malaysian money

begging them to let me have it

i kept on saying

Malaysia Malaysia Malaysia

they showed some mercy and let me off

i quickly ran out from that place...

saw a tut tut

rushed bac to a cyber cafe

and took some time to calm down......

i was so scared i wanted to take a flight bac to msia that nite

but i calmed down

went on9 to look for yinyin

i was lucky they did not take my debit cards and passport

so i asked her to bank in some amount of money to my debit card

so i could withdraw more money (just in case)

to get a bus ticket bac next morning

it was hell

total loss 2.2k

2 weeks well planned trip = 2 days trip

GODDAMNNIT! FUCK!

an EXPENSIVE lesson learnt:::: i shall never travel alone anymore =___=" my minute size shows that i'm vulnerable to these things no matter how much precaution i took.

never the less, I thank God i was still alive. Amen

Neuj-eun-i hu-hoe-man-keum deo sa-rang-hal-gge

so much for a planned 2 weeks solo backpacking to Thai

it all miserably ended on the 2nd day  T.T

I'm still glad i reached Msia safe and sound

Thanks for everyone who helped and cared

especially my twin, yinyin and my ex-lecturer Jason

(will cont the story on next post)

I went to Thailand without informing my family

main reason: not wanting them to worry too much

2nd reason: they would have never let me go

I took an 12 hour train to Hatyai for rm34

not advisable

cause it was dead boring since i was alone

unless u have too much time to spend =___="

just take a bus there

only rm40 for 7 hours =____="

see the difference?

My 1st stop was Padang Besar Immigration

(had to google for pics since my baby is gone >.<)

and you'll reach Hatyai in 30mins ++ 

overall like i said,

sien journey

BE PREPARED when you have reached...

you will be thronged by touts

they hunt foreigners

not to say scammers

they are just trying to "help"

by being your tourist guide and elevate prices to everything =___="

basically cutting your throat

they earn commission..

cant really blame them geh...

IGNORE THEM and you should be fine =)

Hatyai is indeed a tourist paradise

a small town

where you can find ALMOST ANYTHING

-crazy spicy food 

-best place for drunkards (rm10 can get 3 bottles of booze) dirt cheap!

-applies for ciggies as well (i think)

-entertainment ranging from hookers, aqua,tigershow,nfi wat else

(no i did not go there for all these rubbish so i am not really sure okay)

-cheap rides! 

their famous "Tut Tut car"

besides that, there are vans.. busses and also registered motorcyclists

price ranging from Rm2 for most of it unless it's a van

BEWARE of scams =___="

since they practically know ur a foreigner

obviously they will want more out of you

so.. BARGAIN and say 20 bath(rm2) or 'yee sip' for a person

before u take a ride

if more than 20 bath in that town area just ignore and look for other tuttuts

travel tips: be prepared to learn or pickup some basic language before venturing or you will have a seriously hard time trying to communicate. no joke. FCKING HARD!

Ps: sorry not many pics to complement it.. sadly.. i'll cont tomoro...

Kiss me ♥

If u ask me whether i'm nervous...

I would say..

YES! x 10

If u ask me whether i'm scared...

I would say..

YES! x 100

There's always a 1st time to everything

This would be it

Alone

2 long crazy weeks

3 countries

Thailand

Cambodia

Vietnam

I do not know if i can finish all 3 countries in 2 weeks

but i will try my very best!

One could only wish me all the best and to be safe

I sincerely thank you for your concerns

I will definitely be back!

God will bless me!

Neo ttaemune sarangeul mideosseo

I AM BACK!

*risen from the dead*

blame exam + my laziness =D

seriously

i do not know wat to post =____="

yes. i do cook =.="

the dish on the left is..

corn beef + egg + god knows wat i put in. LOL

end result: not too bad. i like =D

and so the rotting season is starting

back in ipoh

and there's nothing that can be done in ipoh

besides watching movies

dota-ing

rotting at home with series

and hunting for food

can someone tell me wat the hell is this????

i found when i was scavenging food at home

IT'S NOT A FREAKING WORM OKAY

my granny says it's chocolate

=________="

tastes sweet though

i had one bite

and i don really like it 

for this 3 weeks break

had already made some plans

was supposed to go kl..

to try bungee jump!

haha!

SEE!

YES I KNOW I AN ACROPHOBIC (fear of height)

but but... 

IT SEEMS FUN LOR!! righttt????

but too bad. trip is most likely being canceled

haihs.... ppl pulling out last minute

and it's like a chain reaction later

causing the rest to feel the same way

oh well..

guess i have to get used to it...

Nevertheless

as i have mentioned before

i will go solo backpacking instead

to where?

i shall update soon =)

shadows on the wall

Despite such a stupid and screwed up day..

i still managed to put a smile upon my face

i do wonder sometimes.. 

where do i find that courage to do so...

and wonder why don't i just break down..

instead of faking as if everything was alrite...

very yeng meh?

i remembered watching a baby pampers ad

the baby put up a smile despite the hurdles he went through

maybe i just wanted to be like him... hmmmmm

staying strong

Heng. *Fan Fan*

PS: anyone knows where to buy empty perfume bottles?

❤

Kampar's famous nite market chee cheong fun! quite good. esp the char siu

have to queue up =_____="

one thing bad is.. they don provide spoons.. zzzz

and so yesterday

at 1.pm.. we're headed to Melaka

(my uncle, Adrian and I)

for half a day trip

just for the Satay Celup

yes, it might sound ridiculous but we need to try it

because we still think Ipoh-ians are not ready for this

gloomy day. but saw bunch of hot models!

we were there at the right time

but sadly

not there for sightseeing >.<

and so headed to 

BAN LEE SIANG

(along ong kim swee road)

and another shop

placed in the middle of the table

a stove below

and the gravy.

yes, we boil the food USING the gravy itself

it is DEFINITELY different from lok lok

it tastes much better.....

not much variety. disappointment

red sticks (60cents) normal sticks (50cents)

cheap huh?

bla bla

for those who thinks that satay celup = lok lok

try 1st and u'll taste the difference

if you never try.. you'll never know

another thing i wish to ask

Do you ppl mind if the gravy is being RE-USED

after every table of customers

because from wat we have tasted from BAN LEE SIANG

the gravies are being recycled

it tasted good >.<

yes.. it might sound geli

because gravy wor.. 

wat happens if another patron dropped a fish ball inside the gravy

and another batch of customers found it later =___="

would u still continue eating ur satay celup?

BUT

the other restaurant that we went

they serve a new pot of gravy after each batch of customers

sounds more hygienic rite?

HOWEVER

it doesn't taste that good

it lacks.. some OOMPH

to me.. it failed

it was just like normal gravy

in conclusion

the dirtier the food is... 

the better it tastes?

i somehow.. cant deny that..

i really wonder are Ipoh-ians ready for this to be launched

i kinda doubt that...

PS: it was launched years ago. next to mgs. but closed down after 3 months. >.<
