Bangkok Trip

Went to Bangkok for 3D4N with my cousin's family during CNY.

Just wanna write down my travelling experiences and share it with you guys. :)

DAY 1

We reached the city at night.

So we could only have Mc Donald as late dinner for the first day.

Their McDonald has a McCafe section!

It's coffee and cakes menu is just like Starbucks/Coffee Bean. 

They also have some nice menu which is not available at Malaysia.

 Teppanyaki chicken with rice set.

First time McDonald's menu has rice.

Samurai PORK Burger!

The meat is so tender and the sauce is nice too.

But the portion is a bit small.  

 They have different flavour of pies too.

Pineapple pie, Corn pie and even ham & egg pie.

There's LOTS of 7-11 in Bangkok!

You'll often see two to three 7-11 at the same street.

Heard that Thailand is the second country which has the most 7-11. 

p/s: Their water is kinda cheap. Only 60Baht for a 500ml water.

Day 2

Basically it's a shopping day.

We took train to the Siam station, where a few mega-malls are located at.

Their BTS train system is just like our LRT station.

 Central World. Just like another One Utama.

 Had our lunch at food court.

Bangkok food is SO NOT NICE.

Everything is just so sweet!

Even their Tom Yam soup is sweet!

How much i miss Malaysia food at that moment. :\

 Siam Paragon. Just like another Pavilion.

 Had dinner at their food court. Special design isn't it? 

But people have to eat while facing to the fish. 

some are only seaweeds. LOL.

 Another thing about Thai.

They love to display all their food in a large portion.

A little bit disgusting, but we still ate this.

 Haha, this is not the real Leornardo Dicaprio.

It's just a wax. They're doing promotion for their wax museum.

We didn't visit there. 

 MBK mall. Just like another Sungai Wang.

Well, i still think Malaysia's shopping complex is still better.

Cause we've already known the places.

 Went Thai foot massage after that too.

It's cheap and nice! Only 250Baht per hour.

It's inclusive of a little head and shoulder massage too. :)

 We took TukTuk back to our hotel.

It's a special type of taxi in Bangkok, without doors.

DAY 3

 Went to Chatuchak Market.

It's a weekend market which has 15000+ stalls in it!

It's really very big. 

There's around 30 sections in the market.

One section has a few streets. So you can imagine how big it is.

The things are really cheap here. But didn't buy much stuff.

Took taxi back to hotel.
Bangkok city is full with a lot of big advertisement billboards!

 Went to Chinatown and had dinner there. Worst station of all. 

It's just a place which sells gold, birdnest and sharkfin -.-

SO BORING. 

 Told you they like to make their food sweet.

We make lotus root soup, they make lotus root dessert.

The soup just tastes like loh hon guo. 

 Went to a night market nearby.

Most of the stalls sell their stuff like this -.-

How could you buy anything?

DAY 4

 Went to the crocodile farm in Thailand.

It's the world's largest crocodile farm.

Must not miss the nerve-wrecking Crocodile Westling show!

You can see how they put their hand, head and money into the crocodile's mouth.

 There's also lots of other animal in the farm. Just like a zoo.

The peacock is so beautiful!

 The white one is also very beautiful.

We got the chance to see how the male peacock tackle the female.

But how it got rejected by the female peacock. LOL.

I was trying to take a photo of the monkey's red ass. 

This stupid monkey try to SPIT and splash water at me!

How mischievous it is!

 We watched the elephant show too. 

Those elephant are just so well-trained.

 We bought some chicken and feed the crocodile too.

There's a disabled crocodile section. 

You can see different types of weird crocodile, inclusive of blind croc and this one.

Kinda pity but it still feels weird.

Head to airport and back to Malaysia after that! 

Home Sweet Home! :D

I don't really like Bangkok that much. 

Most of their people can't understand and speak English.

Their air pollution is more serious Malaysia too. It's kinda hazy there.

Guess we wouldn't go there again.

Overall, we didn't really have a good travelling experience.

We didn't go to some of the popular attractions.

Didn't have a really well-planned trip too. (schedule & expenses)
Sometimes we just have to go travel with the right person at the right time to have a good travel experience. 

Anyhow, still wish everyone has a Happy Chinese New Year! :)

p/s: Fall sick for few days already. Hopefully i will recover soon. : (

颓废

习惯了迟睡，就懒得去调整生理时钟。
习惯了有人陪，就懒得去让自己再次适应静默。
习惯了依赖，就懒得去逼自己独立。
习惯了不劳而获，就懒得去奋发向上。

即便知道努力多一分，就能够多获得几分。
即便知道只要改掉这习惯，结果或许会大有不同。
但习惯这种东西，真的很恐怖。

或许我只是纯粹不喜欢做我不习惯的事，是意气用事。
但这也何尝不是一种习惯？
懒得去改也何尝不是一种习惯？

唉。被习惯害惨了。

最近的生活真的很颓废。

是时候，改掉一些坏习惯了。
也是时候，让自己振作起来了。

有点重蹈覆辙的影子。
但，我想摆脱这影子。

有点语无伦次。是时候睡了。晚安。

注：考试倒数：100多天。我没算清楚。

年少多好

歌词写得真好。

年少时，无忧无虑，容易满足。
纯粹为了兴趣热忱而尽力去做一件事。
不去计较付出和获得多少。多好？ 

人大了，必须面对的问题多了。
价值观也会逐渐被现实所改变。

“和谐，不是一百个人说同一句话。
和谐，是即使一百个人说一百句不同的话，大家仍然能够互相尊重。”

话虽如此，但有多少人勇于做有别于主流的那一个呢？
多了妥协，少了坚持。多可悲？
多了不敢做的事，连说话也要因人而异。多现实？
究竟还有多少人依然能够保持赤子之心，拿出真心待人处事？

毕竟，人依然需要在社会立足于生存。
但必须切记：人选择了不同的路，结局也会相差天与地。
生命没有如果。生命只有挫折。
但只要记得自己的初衷，就一定能够走到美好的终点。
这是“天与地”要我们相信的。

起初，我真的不太会欣赏这部剧。
只觉得，有那么酷爆的造型，演技绝赞的主角，超棒的歌曲和配乐，
却搭配艺术般慢节奏的拍摄技巧，真的有点浪费。

但好的事情是必须要靠时间来酝酿的，也是要靠耐心来发掘的。
当说故事说得久了，听众也会慢慢代入的故事中的角色，去感受他们的感受。
只要你明白他们感情曾经多么深厚，经历了那么多的困难和转变后，他们的感情依然可以那么深厚，就会知道为什么我觉得最后几集很感人很有意思了。

这首歌，也因为这部剧而变得特别好听。
真的，年少多好。

Sign For Your Life 2.0

Almost forget that i still have a blog. 

So now i'm here to write something about a college event i joined on 17/12.

It's my first time joining such an event. 

We have to form a team of four in order to participate in this event.

It's just like the amazing race.

You have to go to 8 stations located at different places.

After you've completed the task, four documents will be given to you.

After you sign on the correct document, then a clue will be given to you and you can proceed to the next station.

There's a workshop in the morning. (Just boring and nothing. -.-)

Then there's a creative signature contest.

We created a simple signature for our team. :)

The race started at around 12 afternoon. 

We're given a crossword puzzle and the first clue will be given to us after we've completed it. We're the first team who completed the puzzle! 

So we run to the first station. (But other teams overtake us very fast.) 

Station1: Car Park, Stadium Merdeka

One of us has to throw a biscuit at a distance.

Three of the team members have to be tied up together and catch three biscuits using our mouth only.

Station2: Porshe Center, Bukit Bintang

One of us have to turn 10 rounds, then walk within the line and crush a balloon on the chair at another side.

Station3: Comfort Inn, Jalan Changkat

It's a really long distance to walk from the second station!

We have to separate a big bowl of mixed red and green beans to proceed to the next station.

Station4: MyHotel, Brickfields

We have rearrange a puzzle. It's a poster of this event.

We completed it kinda fast as we use stapler to fix the puzzle.

Station5: Andrew & Arnold Co, Brickfields

We couldn't find the station and went to a wrong way. 

That's when we became the last team of the game.

After we found the station, we have to run up to the third floor, then go and snatch a picture of 7-11 at another street, and run up to the 3rd floor again to proceed to the next station. -.-

(No pictures of us taken as we're still striving for the game. loll.)

Station6: OCBC Bank, Masjid Jamek

We have to find a man in black and girl in white to obtain a sticker from them.

We just have to make a pure guess and make a request to any strangers.

Then we have to take the correct train to Bukit Jalil.

Fyi, there's two trains going to different stations operating on the same track.

We got onto the correct train :) Finally can get some rest after lots of workout.

Station7: Bukit Jalil

We have to guess some riddles. Too bad that we couldn't get any correct.-.- 

So, we choose to go for the penalty. We have to attract attentions from others.

So we just shout "Sign for your life 2.0" and snap a picture of them looking at us ;p

Station8: Stadium Chin Woo

We have to walk up a really long and steep slope to reach the stadium.

Then, we have to pair up and carry a water balloon from one end to another using our body and crush it. After that, I have to carry one of my team mate to another side and bite the hanging banana. loll.

We went back to our college after we completed all the stations.

Our team got number one. (counted from the back ;p)

Everyone waited for us in the entrance and lobby.

It's kinda embarrassing as we're really slow.. LOL.

Actually, we don't have enough stamina to run throughout the whole race.

So, we took our sweet time after we know we're the last team.

We're so exhausted after the whole race! Our muscles are really sore after that. 

But, we still went to shopping the next few days heheh. (You know lah, girls~ LOL.)

Even though we get the last, but at least we still completed the whole race. :)

A round applause to all the participants and congrats to the prize winners.

遗憾的美丽

那些年错过的大雨，那些年错过的爱情，
好想告诉你，告诉你我没有忘记。
那天晚上满天星星，平行时空下的约定，
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着你，紧紧抱着你。

第一次听这首歌，就觉得好有感觉。
看了电影后，连看MV都好有Feel。

其实，《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》就只不过是拍一个男子怎么追一个女子。
那么普通的故事，为什么会有那么好的成绩呢？

不是因为它有特别奢华的场景，
不是因为它有让人惊叹的特效，
也不是因为它有什么出其不意的故事剧情。

是因为，它够真实，它够深刻。

这部戏，勾起了不少人中学时期的回忆。
在电影播着的当儿，每个人都回想起自己心中的柯景腾、沈佳宜。
也回想起已流逝的时机和烙印在心中的遗憾。

虽然我的中学时期，没有什么柯景腾沈佳宜，
但也深刻感受到柯景腾的遗憾。九把刀，好样的！

看了这本书，也看了这部戏。
还是觉得书本描述得比较细腻，情节也较丰富。
但书本比电影少了一分搞笑，一分感动。

所以，看了戏的去看书，看了书的去看戏，就能有双重感受啦~ 万勿错过！=)

In Time

Just watched "In Time" at Tropicana City Mall just now.

The whole concept is just so creative and so cool!

So, don't miss out the movie and remember to watch 'In Time' in time! =D

*SPOILER ALERT: Don't read till you've watched this movie, unless you don't want to watch it. Keep some surprise to yourself if you still want to watch it.*

It's a world where all human are genetically modified.
Aging process will stops at 25, so even an old man still looks like 25-years-old-man.

But, the problem is: you'll activate a countdown timer to death once you're 25.
Everyone only has one year time left. Does that mean everyone will die at 26? NO.
Time is the currency in the world, not money. Time = Money.
So when you start working, you will earn some TIME and prolong your life.

At the same time, you will have to trade with time. (Money don't even exist!)
Thus, you have to transfer your time to others if you need to buy stuff or pay off your debts, which will shorten your life in return.
Once your time is out, that's it. You'll DIE immediately.

The rich has CENTURIES to live on, but the poor only has HOURS to live on.

If you're poor and you're lack of time, what will you do?
You do not not waste time and you'll treasure it.
You'll always be in a rush if you do not control your time wisely.
Just like how people are always busy for their work and yet, controlled by money.

You'll die if you do not have any time left. You'll start working.
If not, be a Minute Men and grab other's time. The Time Keeper will do their work.
Just like how people can't survive if they don't have any money.
You'll start working. If you rob, the police will "take care" of you.

How if you're rich and you have plenty of time?
You will do everything slowly and never in a hurry.
You can spend your time in any way you want.
But you'll start worrying for your safety because you may be the next target for Minute Men. Your friends may leave you one by one when they're out of time already. Not everybody has the same time.

Just like how people can spend like a boss, without knowing how hard life could be and how important money is. But in the end, money still can't buy you happiness.

How if suddenly there's a savior and everyone gets plenty of time(money)?
Everyone will stop working and start enjoying life like a boss.
No one will rob and police can go home. But, the whole system will goes down.
That's why, no matter how much injustice and drawbacks capitalism may create, but the society still needs capitalism to develop. Who the hell will work if they still can get money even if they don't work?

But i do think that capitalism is still doing justice in another sense.
How much you earn depends on how much you work.
You'll earn more if you're smart enough and know the rules well.

Yes, some might have a better start in the competition.
But its all their elder generation's hard work.
So, just learn the lesson and start working hard and smart to survive and enjoy. :)

All the message the movie is trying to send out might be so common.
But it becomes so mind blowing when the director replace money with time.
(a bit exaggerated. =p)
Anyway it really fulfills our vision satisfaction as all the actors have to look like 25!

Justin Timberlake! 

A really creative and cool movie with stunning actors.
But, frankly speaking, i did expect a better ending.
( Don't expect a good ending from me though ;p )
