I love Hong Kong

5 days 4 nights of Hong Kong trip has come to an end. On the day we arrived in Hong Kong, it was cool; while we leave Hong Kong it was getting warmer. I love Hong Kong. Everywhere is labeled with chinese words, everyone is speaking cantonese and they are very polite (except for those sellers in Lady Street).

Hong Kong's MTR is really very well built, I must give them a thumb up. Any one of the MTR stop would simply have more than 5 exits to different streets, and most of the MTR stops are underground, which means on top of the stops are streets and shops!

Every streets in Hong Kong are busy with people walking in fast pace. Some of the escalators in MTR stops are moving fast (much faster than our pace), and we were to stand on one side as some people may use the other side to walk faster up or down the escalator.

Free and easy trip to Hong Kong is no fuss at all with all the signs and map in hand!

Off to Hong Kong

Tomorrow, my FIL, MIL, hubby and me will be off to Hong Kong!

All of us are to wake up very early in the morning to catch Yoyo bus by 7.30am to LCCT (not KLIA cause we are flying Air Asia, not MAS). We will be reaching the airport 2 hours earlier. By then only we will have our proper brunch.

My FIL was buzzing all the morning, he seems to be very very excited about this trip!

We'll be back on Tuesday night, hopefully I'm energetic to put up a post on Hong Kong.

Hot!!!

It's only 33 Celsius out there, it doesn't really hot as 38 Celsius. But still I'm very very hot, I just went out with hubby, it was burning to walk under the sun! I want to migrate to somewhere cool! Can I?

*$%#@&*

What do you think about Dewan Bandaraya worker whom giving out summon to your car? They'll appear from nowhere issuing you a summon when your parking coupon is overtime or when your car is parking somewhere you are not suppose to. Usually if you arrived in time (seconds before he prints out the summon), he'll let you go.

However, when it comes to business owners like us that need to park our customer's car in front of our shop, trouble comes (constantly!!!). Sometimes, we will put parking coupon; sometimes, we will open-up the car's bonnet or boot. Sometimes when those MBI man comes, my FIL will treat them "minum kopi". Mind you that there is not only one pax for one area, they are many of them! Today this comes, tomorrow another comes......

It happened yesterday that we did not put parking coupon and forgot to open the car's bonnet or boot. And "he" passed by, come down to our shop talk this say that. "He" came before and "minum kopi" not long ago, and yet "he" comes again. So my FIL asked him to issue summon if "he" wants. "He" didn't do so, but standing in front of our shop, using his hp taking photo of our shop.

Today, comes another "he" claiming that "he" gets complaint that we are doing business in the parking lot, "he" is coming to summon our shop. Hubby talked with "him", revealed that it's the "he" who came yesterday without getting what "he" wants report our shop with photo! *@&$%

We never received such a summon in the past 30+ years!!! My FIL had been doing business in this shop for 30+ years!!! No warning given before summon!!! Have you heard cannot even take or replace car seats in a parking lot??? Even if we put parking coupon also cannot??? @#&%$

Another cheating call

This morning, while I'm quite free, I received a call from a believed-to-be China cheating female whom speaks China style Mandarin (with China slang). So I decided to hear what she's going to cheat about.

China girl: Hello, Miss. May I have a few minutes doing some survey with you?
Me: Okay.
China girl: Are you currently using any Panasonic products?
Me: No.
China girl: Actually, Panasonic is planning to open 2 shops in Ipoh, and we would like to invite you to our shop.
Me: I'm not free.
China girl: No, not now. It will be later.
Me: I'm not free also.
China girl: *Getting frustrated* Why you only know how to say "I'm not free"?
Me: Ya, I only know how to say "I'm not free".
China girl: Are you rushing to DIE???
Me: Ya, I'm really not free, in a rush to DIE!!!
*Hang up* Do..do..do.......

I've finally getting into their nerves. LOL.

Think carefully, we'll realize. Panasonic will not sent somebody speaking China Mandarin to do survey. They already well-known, there isn't a need to promote like that. These China females tactics already widely-known, I wonder why they still doing so? Do they think we, Malaysian, are still that innocent, easily to be cheated???

A sunny Saturday morning

It's again Saturday. This Saturday morning appears to be sunny, the sun is showing its shinny face. However I'm not showing my shinny face, I'm gloomy!

I have had a terrible sleep yesterday night. I woke up by 2.30am to the toilet, then back to bed, twisting and turning all the way till this morning. I'm now extremely tired and sleepy plus light headed.

Oh my, my sis in-law and his hubby are going to Macau tonight and they are going to sent their kid, Marcus to our house until they come back from Macau. We need quite a lot of energy to help taking care of Marcus, although he always behave well but he's still a child, we need to talk a lot with him. I must take a nap later, recharge before Marcus arrive! LOL

In additional of Marcus's arrival, hubby and I have a postpone-meet-up with hubby's cousin tonight. It should be late when we finally reach home. I wonder if I could stand the sleepiness tonight!

Earth hour 2010

Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Time: 8:30pm - 9:30pm
Location: Around the world.

Are you participating? I wish I could! I personally would like to participate but I'm sure my FIL wouldn't allow me to do so. "What if the theft broke into our house in the dark???" *Sigh*

Earth Hour is symbolic event where people around the world are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour to show support for action on climate change. Millions of people around the globe turning off our lights together demonstrates that individual efforts, when taken together, add up make a big difference and can be as easy as a flick of a switch.

Earth Hour is a WWF event and it began in Sydney, Australia in 2007. It was such a huge success that in 2008, WWF decided to make Earth Hour a global event and its been growing ever since.

In 2008, millions of people in hundreds of cities in more than 30 countries turned off their lights for Earth Hour. In 2009, more than 4,000 cities in 88 countries participated!

New born baby boy

Happy Birthday to hubby

Yesterday was hubby's birthday, we had dinner at Ipoh Garden East Ocean Seafood Restaurant. Hubby and I had celebrated his birthday by a short holiday to KL and Genting on the pass weekend. So this is a celebration with our family!

Happy Birthday, hubby!

As if the children having birthday???

King of the owls

Our nephew, Marcus, went out with us yesterday night to Ipoh Parade and Jusco.

While walking near the food dept. in Jusco, we saw a child wearing an owl's mask. Marcus shouting "Aiye!!!" at the kid, and the kid's mother pointed out her finger telling us where she got the mask. So we go there straight away to get a free owl mask and king's crown from the children milk powder promoter.

Since then Marcus was wearing his new masks until we reach home.

4 pax in a HK hotel's superior room?

I have been searching throughout the Internet and going to Matta Fair for more information on Hong Kong. Yes, another DIY tour!!!

My in-laws, hubby and I are going on a free-n-easy tour on our own to Hong Kong since I manage to get cheap air ticket of RM360 per pax including seat allocation and 15kg luggage checked-in.

We are going to share our room in Hong Kong. I have book a room with 2 double bed in Mongkok, Hong Kong. I'm not worry about the bed size since I've check it out on Tripadvisor, the beds are larger than most Hong Kong hotel's single bed.

What I worry most is the fact that all the hotels only accommodate 2 person in a room, will only allow 1 more child to be in for most case. However 4 of us are going to stay in a room! I doubt the management will kept quite about it. Hubby and I planned to check-in with just 2 of us, follow by my in-laws sneaking in later.

What do you think? Have you stayed in Royal Plaza Hotel, Hong Kong? What would you say about it?

* $$ is the main reason we share a room but it is also due to my MIL fear of haunted hotel room!

Alice in wonderland

After a sumptuous lunch, my aunt, cousin, hubby and I went to Mid Valley walk walk while my uncle went for tea with his friends.

Mid Valley is full of cars on that Sunday afternoon, we queued up for half an hour before getting a car park. And we found "Alice" everywhere within Mid Valley. As we walked on, we saw many artificial mushrooms, flowers with faces, leaves and trees in the center court. It was crowded with many people like me snapping photos!

I think I'll go cinema for this movie, will you?

Straight A's celebration in KL

As a celebration for my cousin's straight A's in SPM, all of us went to KL for a great lunch. We went to Unique Seafood Restaurant for our lunch celebration with a few of my uncle's friend.

Everybody is praising my cousin for his result, he was at cloud nine the whole day. Actually his result is expected to be straight A's for all of us, if he failed to get all A's, that would be most alarming (too demanding hor?).

My cousin got a T-shirt for one of the uncles but the size isn't fit for him (huge huge body he has). And hubby and I got him a puzzle cube (he loves cubes) for gift.

Congratulations, William!!!
