taxi lou

i can't drive, so i've been taking the cab around lately because my mom broke her right wrist. and i was so sick, disgusted, annoyed, angry at our dearest MALAYSIAN cab drivers because they refuse to use the meter! i know it's not new, but i don't use the cab u see, so i wasn't affected till lately. one of them replied my saying, "yong meter wan mm dou sek"(it's not possible to get adequate amount of income by using the meter) ok, but some are just plain lazy.

so i was very happy just now when this fifty something malay uncle, did not refuse to fetch me back and also did not refuse to use the meter. when the meter showed rm4.20, i took out rm5 and let him keep the change, but instead, he refuse to keep the change and gave me back rm1 because he doesn't have any coins! he was like "aiyah, no need lah". sobss..im so touched. he even bobs to songs from hitz.fm. how cute is that? we need more cab drivers like him!!god bless him! *_*

the HAPPY family




i can foresee that CNY will be very dull for me this year. it's like getting worse every year. bah.


***

pangkor pangkor..seems like alot of people went there this time. we saw a couple of SAM students who pretended not knowing us. well, haha actually we were too. >=/

and i want to stay in pangkor laut beach resort!! @@!!@@ it's hot. too bad, with that kinda rates, no kid is gonna get close to it. we were like " when im rich..im surely gonna go there..".."let's stay there nex time..". they even escort you to the hotel from the jetty. like hw cool is tat? and while we were passing by that oh so expensive atas resort, i was whining in my head..i bet everybody did. the chalets are built on the sea..and and.. u'll hav to sit on a boat to get to the town because it's ON AN ISLAND. !!!!. perfect getaway for RICH couples. one night in one of the most atas rooms cost about USD3000. hello? please donate to the poor?

it was an alright trip, but what i really like is that we went there in a small group=less disagreements=less bithchings=less arguments. there was only 6 of us. and i, the only girl, was outnumbered. pshft. and i got bullied lah. =/ i remembered i cried while kayaking because foo and marvin was trying to be funny and disturb my kayak. i was already freaked out when i saw this monster jellyfish next to me + the unstable kayak made it worse..so i cried. im sucha baby=(


the five males and me! (behind the camera)

im scared of the sea. like, i would get panicky whenever joe and i didn't kayak "properly" and i'll be so afraid and start arguing with him. at the sea. while kayaking. no teamwork at all. omg. but he was very nice for being patient. hahahah.

all the cabs in pangkor are like this, which i think it's good for the groupies
oh, we also had an encounter with a very selfish and mean taxi driver. we wanted to go to this beach and fish lah during late afternoon, so this taxi driver drove us there and because there's not many taxis around that beach, we asked whether he can come back to and bring us back to the hotel, he said ok but make sure we are not wet. then when we were done, he was waiting for us..but.ahem..the guys went into the sea with their boardies..so wet la. and so he refused to fetch us back upon INSPECTING their pants..-.- he was like "maaf la..tak boleh ni..nanti basah..". hhmmpfh. fine. then we walked ..and walked till we found a cab. fuh.


there are also many hermit crabs everywhere, just close your eyes and dig into the sand and you'll most likely see one. this is one of 'em. the 1st picture of the hermits on top of this post was taken by mr.pro photographer which i thought was beautiful ^^b. i think we're quite mean towards them because we tried pulling it out of the shell and foo smashed it with a big stick but the stick broke instead .-.-

le mini island

and the boys "discovered" this mini "island" which leads to another sort of private area because there was only us and some guailous. we spent some time there cus the sand was super fine and well, private. and they wanted to fish.

the nice sandy beach where all the hermitcrabs live.

we had to go thru rocks and jungle to get there so i didn't want to get out of that place when it's dark. but we forgot the time!! and it was already dark..so i convinced joe to get out of the place with me first..it was terrible..cus it was dark..and dunno who's handphone rang in my bag and created this funny noise..ugh. reminded me of some horror movie.

the hotel's lobby which the boys loved because it's the next best thing when you realize that the rooms arent that great.

my husband and i, taken when we were holidaying in pangkor laut beach resort yeah right.

words that can describe/relate to this trip: jellyfish, chun-dou(stupid-dou), seafood, kon lo mee,friends, flipflops, convenient shops, pink cabs, love, playcards, sandy crocs and feet, beach hair, swimming pool, sunblock, crabs in mineral bottles and also bathroomsink, scramble eggs, bottled mineral water, etcetc which i cant think of atm because it was some time ago already!!
