It's time to wipe all the spider webs.

 Been abandoning this blog for a long time. Sometime I really want to write something, a thought, motivational, books I recently read, updates, inspirational stories, photography but I can't cope with my so-called-new-life now. I'm utterly uninspired to spend more time with Jericho, and I'm feeling bad for myself for not being the person I've used to. So full of ideas on what to write and spill in this blog of mine. Gomenasai, minna-san.

1.Life been so much better, I'm trying to be more positive in life, being surrounded by different types of people with their own traits is my new challenge in life. I desperately trying to impress every single one of them but I fail to realize that I can't please everyone. 

2. Got 2 new books from Chris, she bought Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella and The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom from India because the books are cheaper there compared in Malaysia. Finished reading both of the book, and maybe I write about the books later in separate blog post :) The Time Keeper is my favourite

3. Went to a family photoshoot at Everbest Photo, we've discussed about this before, long time ago when late dad is still alive but we couldn't find the perfect time for all of us to gather. Now, we had the chance even though big bro, one of my bro in law and late dad was not there. 

4. Went for a getaaway at Kuching, got the chance to meet Jaeverny and Ivy, spent a few days at Jae's home and went to Serian as well. Awesome 5 days vacation, thank you to Jae and Ivy for the hospitality <3

5. Attended engagements and wedding, I must say this year is the year of weddings and engagements. 

6. Falling in love

7. Priceless experiences during work.

8. Watched some nice movies, Despicable Me 2 and The Conjuring

9. Splurging money on dresses <3

10. Went to the Youth Conference at KDCA :)

I guess the list has sum up all my recent updates in my life so far :P 

Daddy's princesses.

Getaway: Phuket (Planning, Budget, etc)

So, this will be a continuing post since I will blog about my recent trip to Phuket, Thailand on Wednesday for 4 days and 3 nights trip with le sister and cousin.Just three of us :)

For your information, before we are going for this trip, I use three blogs as my reference on nice places to wander around :)

1. Diane Teo
2. Aki Borneo 
3. Stella Claire
 So basically I'm using information in their blogs to roughly plan our trip from day 1 until day 3.

This is our itinerary:

Day 1:  Simon Cabaret
Day 2: Koh Phi Phi, Monkey Beach and Koh Khai,at night went to Jungceylon Mall and Bangla Road
Day 3: Panak Island, James Bond Island and Hong Island, at night went to Phuket Fantasea
Day 4: Bye bye Phuket :(

I brought my camera with me but since I'm too exhausted going through an adventurous journey, I only managed to take some photos during day 2 and the rest, I let my sister and cousin to take photos as many as they can using their phones. FYI, some places like Simon Cabaret and Phuket Fantasea, you are not allowed to bring cameras inside so I decided not to bring with me along.

If you read Stella Claire's blog, I use their hotel reviews to book for our hotel during the trip, which is Aspery Hotel, same as them. Since I found their revies is pretty good, accommodation, walking distance from Patong Beach, etc, so I decided to choose this hotel. I booked earlier, on January 2013.

I requested an extra bed for my cousin because this room only up to 2 people, cost me 1500 bath for 3 days.

BUDGET 
I estimated the budget for tours  about 5000 bath/RM 500 but had overspent slightly
Simon Cabaret: 650 (RM65) bath per person
Island Hopping ( Koh Phi Phi, Monkey Beach and Koh Khai) : RM 159/ 1590 bath per person, as I booked this tour on Groupon
Island Hopping ( Panak Island, James Bond Island and Hong Island) : 1600 bath/RM 160
Phuket Fantasea + buffet dinner : 1900 bath/ RM 190

Total per person (tour only ): 5740 bath/ RM 574
Hotel per person: 1513 bath/ RM 151.3
Return trip taxi per person (airport-hotel-airport) : 533 bath/ RM 53
Leisure ( souvenir, food, tips, etc etc) per person : up to 10000 bath/ RM 1000 (approximate)

altogether: 17789 bath/ RM 1778.6

So, this is roughly our budget on this trip.So if you are interested to go to Phuket, you can use this information for you to save money :) but please bear in mind that this information may vary from time to time :)
 Flight tickets:

Kota kinabalu-Kuala Lumpur-kota Kinabalu: RM 268 per person
Kuala Lumpur-Phuket-Kuala Lumpur : RM 205 per person
I booked this tickets earlier when I noticed that Airasia havinf promotion on selected flights, so readers, please keep updated with Airasia's recent promotion :) You might get even lover price than me.

If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to ask me :)
Next post teaser, Ladyboy xD

One fine day.

one fine day. Attended Rinus and Judith engagement day this morning, and spend some time with the little kids on the evening. Time flies so fast. I still remember helping my sister to babysit Bianca while she's at KL searching for a secured job. She was 1 year ++ if I'm not mistaken, learning to speak, sometime in her own language that I can barely understand :p Waking up at nights to prepare her milk. Now she's growing up, she's more like a little sister to me, I feel it that way.Charlie, even though I didn't spend much time babysitting him, but having these little kids creating hustle and bustle at home makes me feel alive.

A great listener heals the wounded soul.

Received the books from rejectbookshop(Instagram) today.Bought two books from there, only cost me RM8 each, and RM8 for shipping, total =RM24. Mostly they sell malay novels, but you can get decent English books from them as well :) Search for rejectbookshop on Instagram for more details :)

Had a great time with Gett today, we talked about everything and we didn't realised the clock was ticking so fast.  Thank you for lending your ears to listen some rants and stories that were piled up since the last time we hang out together. Welcome to a new semester, all the best Gett! :D

Photobook

Finally. I've been waiting for this photobook to arrived at le sister's workplace. I estimated that it will only take a few days, and I can get this before the engagement because I planned to give this as a gift along with her favourite make up by Make Up Forever I've purchased from Sephora. I'll blog about Sephora later :)

So, this is a photobook, moreless like modern photo album. I saw this deal on Groupon, cost me about RM 38, the cost for this photobook before discounted is RM138 (if I'm not mistaken). After buying the deal on Groupon, I downloaded the Photobook Designer Software and started designing. I choose the most simple, since I don't like fancy one, minimal would be just fine. 

So, this is the screenshot of the software I've used. 

When I received the parcel today, I'm satisfied with the result :) This will be a new photo album for me I guess.

naughty boy

Tuesday goes like other ordinary day. Le nephew really want to go out and play, so mum let him play with barefoot xD Mum said, biarlah dia puas main di luar hari ni. Hope you had a great time outside naughty boy :3
