Turning Point 转折点

I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. What's ahead is unknown but at least I need to do my part for my country. 11:47am: Arrived at Plaza Rakyat station, on the bridge. I had the urge to cry looking at the crowd. We are here for the same purpose - we love our country, we are here to fight for a better future. Why can't our dear government understand this? Who wouldn't want to spend their weekend more comfortably? Instead of stuck in a crowd, sweating, shouting and under the hot sun? 12:22pm: Having a quick brunch at Petaling Street. Stuffed ourselves full to ensure we have enough energy to walk on. We were told someone passed away in Petaling Street. (It was confirmed later a guy passed away in the early morning due to heart issue, RIP). RM 4 for fried mee hoon & a piece of yong tau fu. Taste bland, I didn't even chew much. Just for the sake of feeling my stomach. 1pm: We walked from Jln Sultan towards Dataran Merdeka. The crowd were sho

Yesterday, crab king invited us to his house for some home cooked food. Who can resist home cooked meal? It's like the best food in the world - it's healthier, cook with care (more hygienic) and most importantly with love :) *cough*! I arrived on time and crab king was cleaning the prawns. It's his virgin attempt to cook butter prawns - also one of my favorite dishes. I love the egg floss! Chef for the butter prawns. The rest of the dishes are prepared by Jin ~! Tadah! That's the butter prawn - with egg floss and butter sauce *slurp* Fried pork with wolfberries. My 1st time trying this combination, not bad at all :) The dishes for the night - cucumber pickles, roast duck, fried vege with mushroom, butter prawns, fried pork with wolfberries and beetroot soup! Roast duck bought by lil alien crab. We didn't manage to finish it :| Too much food. After dinner, we spent our time watching TV and talking craps as usual. I bought Ai Yu Bing (jelly

On the last day in Luang Prabang, we hired a bike to Kuang Si Waterfall. It's about 2km south of Luang Prabang. If you have ample time in Luang Prabang, I highly recommend you to visit Kuang Si Waterfall. It's a beautiful travertine waterfalls with numerous turquoise pools (it reminds me of JiuZhaiGou although I haven't been there before :p). We passed by the Bear Rescue Centre while walking towards the waterfall. I love this photo. Taken by Bin :) Look at the color of the pool. At the top of the fall. Good place for swimming. The con is you have to change in the public - e.g. behind the tree trunks, standing on the mud :| (yeah, that's what I did & have to ensure no one's around) #beingadventurous Another of my favorite shot by Bin. After the visit at Kuang Si waterfall, with plenty of petrol in the tank, we decided to tour around. Being adventurous, we stopped by a few villages to check out their Wats. An old and ruined Wat. A

It was ad-hoc as tickets were purchased a day before the travel date (yea, that's me. As cool as you can get #dontpuke). I was going through a very down time at that moment. My then boss was very kind to allow me to take off from work for a week still need to work from home la  to sort out my mind. While thinking rubbish  resting at home, I managed to catch up with Pam Pam online and she asked me to visit her in Hong Kong! So I got stimulated by her (hahaha) and rushed to the Air Asia counter in KL Central to purchase tickets (couldn't purchase online coz it's less than 24 hours, I think). Not many photos taken because I was not in the mood (I was depressed leh). I only took photos when I was out with Pam, that's when I was feeling slightly better. Thanks Pam for being there and let me put up at her place for 4 nights, also thanks for the Internet connection (for me to work from home *ahem*). Yeah, that's emo me.  Hairy Crab! It was the season. The

You can travel to Luang Prabang by bus but it will take you around 11-13 hours, that's half a day gone on a bumpy road with endless potholes. Due to time constraint, we decided to take a flight, ticket's around USD 80+ per person.  Lao Airlines from Vientiane to Luang Prabang View from the flight Luang Prabang is a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE city. The architecture of the houses are French-influenced. The city reminds me of Melaka. Our 1st destination is Haw Kham (after we dropped our luggage in the guest house. BUT... our great trip has been marred by 1 incident and it all started from this guest house! To be told later #makingyoucurioussothatyouwillcontinuetoreadon), the former royal palace and now national museum. Walking to Haw Kham. We are not allowed to take any photos in the palace. We walked to Phou Si the main hill in Luang Prabang after our visit at Haw Kham.  The stairway to Phou Si. It's not very steep but I am a weak lady ~ so it took me a whil
