What a Busy month ahead!!!

June will be such a busy month for me!

(1) Launching of new version of "A"

(2) Test out the sofware

(3) Prepare for training on new features

(4) Clients visitation

(5) Installing software for clients ...sigh...I hate to do this =(

It's also a happening month too.

I'm going to Kuantan for a weekend trip this Friday, as James & Tai Yee are back from Australia.
So definitely a trip to beach for them.
Ying & Yvonne's birthday celebration in Mid-June.
Yet to decide where to have it, all of them sure ask me where to go.
As they said I'm always the person-in-charge for all of the makan & gathering stuffs.
I wanna eat home-cook steamboat!!! The one that we had in Ying' house last time, it was so nice!!
Why not have it in Bryan's house this time?
Pot-luck steamboat style, save money and can get good quality food!!!!hahaha!!!
But have to ask the main actor & actress first.

Then must remind Kit to book Super Hotel Ikebukuro on 1st of June.
The hotel is always fully book! Better book it on the 1st day when it opens for reservation.
By the way, I'm glad that we managed to get Super Hotel Namba/Nipponbashi in Osaka!!!
The area is good in terms of location, shopping, eating and many other things too!!
Price is cheap too, 3080 yen per person per night, which is around RM 95 inclusive of breakfast.
Even though heard that the room is way too small, but who cares, as we'll be spending time outside instead of staying in the room.

Hope to meet up with Mikoto, Naomi & Fumika when I'm there.
It has been a really long time since the last time we met, where we were in the student exchange thingy.

Blog updates on the Bangkok trip will be delayed for a while.
Please bear with me!

Ok, got to catch my beauty sleep now!
Gonna have XXX training tomorrow....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm really looking forward for the J-trip!!!

Bangkok Trip Day 2

We left the guest house around 10am and decided to have late breakfast
at Central Food Court.
Since we didn't get to eat there last night.


We ordered these:

*of course not all!!!*

*But this one - Fried Oyster Omelette*

*Yum Yum!! So FRESH!!*

*Frying my oyster omelette*

*Super crunchy!!!*

*Really nice to go with the Thai Chili Sauce*

*Fish Balls Kuey Teow*

The Kuey Teow just tasted so-so. But with lots of fish balls! 60 baht

*Braised Pork with Rice*

Thumbs up for this!! The gravy is so tasty to go with the rice.
And the pork is just nice to eat.
90 baht for this set.

*Very Yummy!!*

Okay, below is the pic which shows the Thai version of Toys 'R' Us:

*Me with the Thai giraffe*

While mum and I were trapped at Naraya, Dad was having his tea-time at Starbucks.

No one kacau us so we shopped happily in Naraya.

After some shopping in Naraya, it was time for lunch!
We wanted to have Japanese Food, so here we are!!
FUJI^^

*Bro ordered the Shabu-shabu set - 170 baht*


*My Tonkatsu Set - 120 baht*

* Mum ordered the Special Steak Lunch (Chicken) Set - 150 baht*

* Very juicy!*

*Dad's Yakiniku Beef Set - 150 baht*

*Assorted Tempura - 210 baht with 5 prawns!!!*

Overall, we had a good experience in eating at Fuji.
The service is good & efficient.
Food being served very fast once we ordered.
Furthermore, the food is very nice!!!
Good quality of food in low prices!!!
If we had this meal in KL, I think it will cost us around RM 150++.
But the same meal in Bangkok only cost us 880 baht!!!
Half of the price!!
I'll definitely be visiting FUJI very often when I'm in Bangkok next trip! hohoho!!!


I saw this "LOVE" sign inside of Central. Reminds me of the Japanese dramas.
We went back to the guest house after lunch for some rests.

We decided to settle our dinner at Siam Paragon.
As it was so hot outside, better eat at some air-conditioner eateries.

This was our dinner place, I forgot the English name for it.


And we ordered Tom Yum Kung, Pad Thai, Fried Fish and Fried Pork Slices.

*Tom Yum Kung*

*Pad Thai*

*Fried Fish*

*Side Dish with Fried Fish*

*Fried Pork Slices*

Right after dinner, we went to the supermarket to grab some food stuffs like Green Curry Tuna, Chips, Fruits and mango sticky rice as supper!!


Before heading home, we stopped by at Swensen's for ice cream!

*Chocolate Tower*

*And this is our supper*

*Super sweet & juicy mangoes, 150 baht for 2.

This ended our second day in Bangkok.

無情的災害

緬甸的熱帶風暴

四川的地震

每天翻開報章,打開電視

映入眼前的

就是一幕幕

慘不忍睹的新聞, 照片

真的很心酸

曾幾何時,學校就是最安全的地方

可是在無情的災害前

原來一切都是那麼的渺小, 無助

看到那些被救出來

卻需要被截肢的

真的很心痛

**********

此刻, 身在十萬八前里外的我能做的就是向災區捐款, 祈禱.


*惜福*

請好好的珍惜身邊的人和事物

雖然也曾埋怨KL的治安和一切的不是

可是從另一方面來想, 也該珍惜這個國家

因為它遠離一切的天然災害!

看到喜歡的東西,也別想太多了,就買下來吧

Accomodation in Bangkok - Urban House

There's this small pond outside Urban House.
The gold fishes are so cute^^
Really admire them as they still can survive under the extreme HOT weather everyday!

For this family trip to Bangkok, we decided to stay in this Guest House which is called
"Urban House".
Found this guest house through a forum and it is highly recommended by all of the forumers who has stayed there before as the owner is friendly and helpful,
location is convenient and price is reasonable.
Majority of the guests are from Taiwan & Hong Kong.
It's a private house which is transfered to Guest House.
Located at Soi Yommarat, Silom, it's only 5-10 mins walk to BTS Saladaeng station and Silom MRT station.



There's a small shopping complex nearby which is Silom Complex and also Robinson (but closing down soon as it's having clearance sale when I was there)

Urban House is a 3-storey building and it only has 5 rooms available.
Quite privacy in a sense there are not many guests.
And it's always fully booked, so do book in advance if you decided to stay here.
The owner "Kwang" is also in the same building

A corner in Urban House

Lobby of Urban House

There are free reference of Guide Book for Thailand which are available at the lobby.

We booked 2 suite rooms, RM 130 per night per room together with light breakfast.

There's a small kitchen area in the suite room (cooking utensils and gas stove are not available).

Lounge area

Bathroom


And this is what light breakfast is:

Local Fruits, Orange Juice, Fresh Milk, Assorted Hot Drinks & Toast




Poser look!
It reminds me the good old days in aussie, as my face is as round as a big pancake!
Due to this food hunting trip.

For your info, every Monday to Friday from 12 noon to 2 pm,
there are road stalls setting up along the small lane heading into Urban House.
Thus there'll be traffic congestions if you're going to Urban House at that time.
We experienced that during the first day when we arrived.
I really admire all of the car drivers in Bangkok!
Their driving skills are superb! I don't think I'll dare to drive there.
Anyway,you can find great bargain along the stalls, trust me!!
I spent 630 baht in 15 minutes grabbing 4 short pants and 3 dresses.
The quality is not bad for that kind of price!
Great bargain, isn't it??
Provided you can stand under the hot sun to shop!!!

No regret staying in Urban House!

Edited (17/5): This guest house might not suitable for elderly as there's a narrow staircase to the rooms. You might be having problem carrying all the way up for your big luggage, but no worries, you can separate your things into small bags and carry them.
