RMVB player

I bought one RMVB player through my colleague. As there are 20 of us, and we are buying 23 pieces, hence we manage to get the player at quite a good price. RM150 per piece.

Too bad that I do not have a tv to try it out, hence have to wait till this weekend when I can try this out at somebody's else place. Nevermind that, I am gonna show you some pictures of the player now.

Presenting to you, Clamul moviebox. We did not go for the one with HDMI support as there are too many difficulties in getting a good bargain HDMI support RMVB player.

Cannot deny that they did a good packaging.
I guess this packaging must have gone through drop test before go into manufacturing.

As usual, the player came with some accessories. Besides the player, there are remote control, user manual, cables, and DC power adaptor.

Can't wait to test it out this weekend. :)

Melaka 2D1N trip

I went down to Melaka with my family on last weekend (23-24 May 209). The main purpose is actually to get all my bro's rubbish back. He will be finishing his foundation study in MMU Melaka this week. Since we are going all the way down to Melaka, as usual, we decided to stay one night there and enjoy ourselves. This time, we chose Straits Meridian Hotel, which is just next to Melaka mosque.

We booked a suite for around RM150, comes with two breakfasts. The room is facilitate with a separate bedroom, a kitchenette, bathroom, small living room and a dining table. A few pictures below showing theroom.
This my little bro in white with his best pal, Joshua posting in the living room.

After some rests, we head to Dataran Pahlawan. Too excited and I had totally forgot to take pictures.

We head to Melaka River around 7pm.

St. Xavier chuch, which situated opposite to Melaka river.

Old houses can be seen all along the Melaka river. I just like this place. It gives me the vacation feel. Melaka government must have put a lot of money to transform this area to a lovely tourist spot. Melaka river was once famous with its polution, but now you can hardly smell anything. There are internet cafe, handicraft shops, cafe, bistros along the river.

Walking path along Melaka river.
While I was enjoying my walk along the river, suddenly I saw this. A cat sleeping beside an aloe vera plant inside a pot. It even looked into the camera when I was shooting it. -_-"


Waited for some time, just to capture the boat, in Melaka river. haha...
This is a new building at the entrance to Jonker Street. Not sure how new it is, at least last year it was not here.
A family photo to proof that we had really came here. :)
Visiting the shop, "sam sook gung" or 三叔公 in chinese. It's nicely renovated. It also has a cafe in it where you can have some light refreshments.
Trying durian chendol at the attached cafe. I dunno how to describe the taste, its just... so durian... RM5.80 per bowl.

Heading to Jonket Street for food.

We had our dinner at the most famous chendol shop. Hou Jiak had shooted this restaurant before and ever since then, we had to queue for a long time to get our food. We ordered 3 different noodles and of course the famous chendol.

Inner decoration of the famous restaurant. I am not sure how old is this building and I am not sure the restaurant's name too.

The famous chendol. However I think it's not as nice as last time. The gula Melaka macam not as "phang" or "hiong" as last time. RM1.70 per bowl.

Baba laksa. A little spicy, you can taste the fish clearly. I guess they are using tuna flakes in oil. :D A lot of coconut milk. If you do not like coconut milk, its a no-no dish for you. For me, its ok as I enjoy coconut milk. RM3.50 per bowl.

Nyonya Asam laksa. They serve this with tuna too, just as what I mentioned about Baba laksa. This asam laksa taste differently with Penang laksa. Penang laksa is sour and a little sweet at the background. But for this Nyonya Asam laksa, its very sour and a little salty. No prawn paste. I still prefer the Penang laksa more. RM3.50 per bowl.

Rendang chicken. A little spicy, I guess this is the concentrated version of the Baba laksa. Although this does not come with tuna. It's a lot richer in coconut milk if compare to Baba laksa. RM3.50 per bowl.

After dinner, we walked around Jonker street and did some shopping. I bought a bag. RM15. I guess I should have bargained, but that time I was too happ and paid the money without saying anything. I just... love the bag... Anyway, it's canvas and I think it's kinda worth the money... (trying to psycho myself a bit)

And my sis bought one pair of beatle slippers. Recently she had crazily fall in love with beatles. Another new item for her beatles collections. RM10.

My sis bought one pair of cute ear rings too. My little bro bought two Samurai swords and two Japanese umbrella whereas Joshua, bought a hat and a pair of couple T-shirts. Too bad that I forgot to take pictures of all those.

Something to talk about during our way back to get our car. I saw two polices taking care of traffic on a horse. Wow~ I thought this would only happen in oversea. Suddenly realise that our Malaysian police can be so "yeng" too. *shyshy*
And you think that's the end? No no, more amazing thing coming. Do you know what I saw directly opposite the "yau yeng" police? Watch the video below:


Tell me, who had ever seen policewoman dancing by the roadside before? while wearing full uniform?

A1-8-8 gathering at Holiday Inn Resort Batu Ferenggi

It's been a long long time since my last post.... hahaha... too much time for drama.... too little time for blogging *wink*

Anyway.. we had an A1-8-8 ex-housemates gathering at Batu Ferenggi, Penang some time ago.... We spent a total of two nights there.... and here comes the entry.. after such a long wait.... :)

Let the pictures do the talking :)

Day1 (Red Box Gurney Karaoke --> Dinner at Pulau Tikus Lok Lok --> Check in to hotel)

It was the very first night.... so we posed just for the sake of taking some pictures...

Day2 (Breakfast at famous dim sum at town --> Visit to zhou tian yang aquarium --> Gurney shopping and lunch --> ping pong --> swimming --> Water sport at Batu Ferenggi --> Dinner at Sunset Bistro --> Batu Ferenggi Pasar Malam --> Ruqing birthday celebration)

Back from shopping.... before we go for the sun... a group photo of all the ladies... see how happy we are? It's been nearly two years since our last met which was during our graduation....

I dunno what makes this photo... but.. that's what you will do with a bunch of good friends... right?hehe... anyway.. this is a good picture to introduce all the ladies... (from left)pyy, ruqing, shiaohui, cry, shinyee, me obviously, hueykein...

Let's go for... swimming..... taken by the pool side... hiak~ oh... fyi... no bikini swim suit photos... dun ever think of it... *evil laugh*

Yay!! time for the beach... la la la....

Beach running... Heard that it's good for toning the legs... muahaha... run more girls...

What's next... I will call the next activity as "beach jumping cum photo capturing".. what a long name...

ooppss.... we missed.... but almost there...

BINGO... I would rate this the best beach jumping photo... Look at the legs... the hands... the smiles.... They are just..... PERFECT..... and now..... take a look at the next picture....

Taken tons of pictures... with this the best one... why this? At least everyone was in motion....

We went for parachute too... or parasailing? whatever... It cost RM55 per person.. no bargain...they do give receipt though... -_-

Wearing all the neccessary stuffs... to make sure you could come back alive... this include a life jacket... but there is no jelly fish protection gear available... maybe you want to consider wearing long sleeves, long pants with a pair of sport shoes....

Final checking and some briefings... I am not that short particularly... this guy is just crazily tall....

Getting ready to take off... there is no turning back at this point... look at the parachute... it's all up...

.... and we are up.... hurray~~

It was really cool flying up there.... :) and then we landed....

And what's next? Banana boat of course... with a capsize.... why would you pay RM15 per pax to ride a banana boat which is not capsizing right? that was how i psycho some of the ladies... *evil laugh* anyway.. Ruqing was firm... she sacrifized herself and jaga our belongings.. most importantly.... someone to camera all the fun~

All gear up.... while waiting for our turn.... we took some shots... who is that tongue showing lady? *sweat* undeniably ugliest among all....

The next while-waiting-shot.... dai jeh dai with 5 ma zai standing at the back....

Some briefings before we are off.... by me of course.. the only one who had banana-boated before... but... macam no one is listening? *speechless*

A big thank you to ruqing... who stayed back and took care of our belongings...

Not forget to snap one picture when everyone is still fresh and dry....

Keep going keep going.... this is far more chi kik than parasailing....!!

All down....

yingxuan: "some one just fall on my back"
hueykein: "was it me?"
pyy: "It was you... you sat behind yx"
shinyee: "the water is so salty"
shiaohui: "I just swollowed one mouthful of sea water"
cry: "only one? I drank two times!! and I am so freaking tired of 'standing water'!"
yingxuan: "dude... you can just stand up... it's not deep"

Unity makes us strong.....

Get back to the shore....

After bathed... we went for our dinner at Sunset bistro....Sunset Bistro is such a nice place.. You dine on the beach... good environment... reasoble price food.... The food is not bad too....

Pyy quenched for beers.... It cost around RM30 for a bucket... If I am not mistaken... It's not as expensive as you may think... check the place out :)

The 3 lengluis... huhu~

Here comes the cute one....

Just before 12am.... we celebrated ruqing's birthday.... A cake we bought from Secret recipe this afternoon... we were supposed to do this at the beach front... but all were too tired after back from pasar malam shopping.... hence we did it in our room....

The very last group photo featuring Ruqing's birthday with her cake...

Happy birthday Ruqing.. stay pretty always... muacks muacks...

Day3 (breakfast in room --> table pool, spot the difference, swimming --> lunch at town --> byebye)

Too bad we all forgotten to take some pictures on the last day..... but this does not matter... we all enjoyed our stay in Batu Ferenggi....

Take care ladies.... till we meet again next time...
