Suk 11 Reviews

Dear Suk 11,

Together with the pain, sleepless night, potential to be permanent bite marks from the bed bug bites... I seriously think I've overpaid for the overly decorated-trying-to-be-unique-hostel-in-Bangkok.

Each night I fail to fall asleep due to the itchiness, each time I need to spend more time to apply the cream I got from local (KL) clinic, each time I feel the itch but I couldn't do no shit about it. Each time I think of it, I HATE YOU.

Regards,
Josephine See

Sorry loh, I won't give face. This is the first time I stayed in Suk 11 hostel @ Soi 11, Shukumvit area. And will be my fucking last time. You heard me. FUCKING LAST TIME.

I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOUR PLACE GOT BED BUG.

Warning: Do not go to Suk 11. Don't even try. You will cry (like me).

FAQ on Influenza A (H1N1)

A. About the disease

1. What is Influenza A (H1N1) ?

Influenza A (H1N1) is highly contagious acute respiratory disease infecting humans caused by a new virus, the result of a mutation created by the mixing of the pig, bird and human influenza virus genes.

2. Where have the human cases occurred ?

Current information reveal that the earliest cases infected with new virus was first reported from Mexico and United States of America in April 2009.
Subsequently cases are been reported from several other countries across the
world.
For current updates of affected countries, please refer to www.moh.gov.my and
www.who.int

3. What are the signs and symptoms of Influenza A (H1N1)?

Early signs of Influenza A (H1N1) are flu-like, including fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and runny nose, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhoea.

4. How do people become infected with Influenza A (H1N1)?

The spread begins when infected people cough or sneeze, infected droplets get on their hands, drop onto surfaces, or are dispersed into the air. An uninfected person can breathe in contaminated air, or touch infected hands or surfaces, and thus be exposed.
This is known as the human to human transmission of Influenza A (H1N1)

5. Is there any confirmation of transmission between pigs and humans at this
point?

No.

6. What is the advice to infected persons ?
- Seek medical attention and treatment from the nearest doctor.
- To prevent spread, infected persons should cover their mouth and nose
appropriately when coughing and sneezing, and wash their hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water;
- If you get sick with influenza, stay at home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth since secretions from them contain the virus and can infect others
- Avoid going to crowded/public places and/or using public transport especially
when you are sick or have the influenza sign and symptoms.

7. How long can an infected person spread the Influenza A (H1N1) disease to others ?

Person(s) with Influenza A (H1N1) virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and possibly for up to 7 days following the onset of the illness. Children, especially the younger ones, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.

8. How can you protect yourself from getting infected with the disease?

There is no vaccine currently available to protect against Influenza A (H1N1). However, there are certain actions that can help to reduce the spread of the
virus:-
- Avoid close contact with persons who appear unwell and have fever and cough;
- Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often;
- Avoid touching your face, especially your nose and mouth, with your hands to minimize infection;
- In the event of being in an affected area, avoid crowded places and stay indoors;
- Stay informed of the situation of the disease and of the appropriate measures taken to avoid being infected;
- Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food and keeping physically active.

B. About the vaccine


1. Is there a human vaccine available now to protect from Influenza A (H1N1)?

No. Current seasonal human influenza vaccine does not provide protection from the current influenza A (H1N1) virus. It is unknown whether the seasonal vaccines can provide any cross protection to the ongoing influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in Mexico, United States of America and other affected parts of the world.

2. Will there be a new vaccine developed for the current infection?

Yes, WHO is currently working towards development of such a vaccine.

3. How long will it take to come up with a suitable vaccine?

According to WHO, it would take about 4 to 6 months to manufacture.

C. About the treatment


1. What drugs are available for treatment?

Currently the Ministry of Health Malaysia has antivirals for treatment of Influenza A
(H1N1).

2. Will the antivirals protect a person from being infected?

The antivirals are used for treatment of a person infected with the virus. It is not a vaccine that creates immunity against the infection. Persons not exposed to the
virus are advised not to take the antivirals because it would be required to consume it for a long time and since it is very potent medication can thus cause ill effects.

D. About travel


1. Is it safe to travel?

People should aware that due to the highly contagious nature of the disease and its rapid spread across the world, non-essential travel by air or other means, especially to affected areas, should be postponed. If travel is essential or auavoidable, travelers and their dependents need to protect themselves appropriately.
Persons who are ill should delay travel plans and returning travelers who fall ill
should seek appropriate care immediately.
However, WHO has not recommended travel restrictions related to the outbreak of Influenza A(H1N1) virus.

E. About levels of Pandemic Alert


1. What does the current WHO pandemic alert phase 5 mean?

According to WHO phase 5 means that the virus has caused sustained community level outbreaks in at least two countries in one WHO region. At phase 5 a pandemic is considered imminent.

2. What is sustained human to human transmission ?

This occurs when three generations are involved – i.e. the virus has passed from person A to person B and then to person C.

3. What is the difference between a probable case and a confirmed case?

A probable case is who shows the symptoms of influenza such as cough, fever, headache, chills and fatigue and either tests positive for type A influenza or is considered linked to another probable or confirmed case.
A confirmed case is one who tests positive in a laboratory for the influenza A (H1N1)
virus.

4. At what point does WHO consider a pandemic to have started?

At Phase 6, as defined by the WHO pandemic preparedness guidelines. This phase is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way. The goal of recommended actions during phases 5 and 6 is to reduce the impact of the pandemic on society.

F. About the safety of pork


1. Is it safe to eat pork and pork products?

Yes. Influenza A (H1N1) has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. The virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 1600F/700C, corresponding to the general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat.

Pre holiday mood

I am already in pre holiday mood... I can visualize those moments already...



Why holiday mood leh? Next public holiday is Agong's birthday on 4th June no matter which Agong... Where got holiday some more?

Got! I declared my own holiday!

I will be off to one of the country with swine flu.......And I was advised to cancel my trip too... *bleh*



I read a journal the other day and it was written "旅行也是看缘份". Meaning traveling also depends on fate one. Good say.

There are always some uncertainties during a trip, especially a free & easy trip.
So sometimes we get to see nice scenery views, sometimes we missed it.
Sometimes you snap nice shoot, sometimes the picture turns out so blur (I really hate this)
Sometimes you get to buy something you wanted, sometimes you couldn't find it.
Sometimes you hope it will be good weather, it turns out rainy and messy.
Sometimes you meet good people, sometimes conmen.
Sometimes you bump into your long lost friend who never met for god knows how long, sometimes you bump into people you don't want to meet at all.
Sometimes you plan too well, sometimes you gotto let some plans go.
Sometimes you thought the food might be so nice, sometimes it only look good in the photos.
Sometimes you thought you bring something along, then only realize you left it home or left it back in the place who gave you so much of good times.



Since fate plays a part, let's face it. If you guys see me post more than 3 posts a day for 7 days, you know what'd happen then!

For more pre-plan trip info, you can visit my sister's blog (Chinese).

A lot in mind & Know-me Quiz

I have a lot of plans, and a long to do list.

A lot of things I need to do and I want to do.

I just had coffee, red coffee. same brand as the 'cool coffee' I had couple months back.

While sipping my coffee + read newspaper = ideas generator.

***

Last night I created a "How well do you know Josephine See?" in Facebook. do check it out... just 12 questions. I do not have that much of question to ask lah.

Preview:

How many tattoo do I have;
How many times I have travelled out of Malaysia;
How many years I've work;
What is my favourite holiday;
Where have I not been to;
etc etc

I am going blind

Yes I just realized that I am potentially going to be blind...

I screwed up my very expensive contact lense (RM300 for 3 months usage only) and left only Right lense to use. The lense supposed to be high oxygen and less watery level. Less watery level in % meaning wont stick so much dust.

For past 1 month plus, I have had problem with my both eyes. Both get reddish in no time once I reach my office. Yeah sometimes I hated my office.

I didnt have a clue until one day I decided to being the saline to office, thinking that if I cleanse my contact lense in the middle of the day then I wouldn't have problem with the dryness and redness in the eyes.

Well well, before removing the lense from the eyes must wash hand right, so I press for some gel soap on my palm and started rubbing both palm.... Guess what I saw?

Grey-ish, black-ish soap dripped on the sink and I was like "WHATTTTTF!!!"

THAT DIRTY AR MY HAND. No wonder, the redness in the eyes must be my habit to actually use my finger tip to touch the lense/rub my eyes. I do that very often and too often ends up a habit. End up my eyes got bacterial already, most probably.

ALSO I've broke 1 left lense. And without realizing it I kept wearing it for 2 weeks time! cause my red eye worse on left. The last left lense supposed to last longer, but due to my carelessness it went dried up and tak boleh pakai no more.

so, I bought pair of permanent lense which cost even more! RM480/pair, according to the sales, this pair of lense can last 2 years with good care. It is custom made and since I have small eye ball (eyes), custom made lenses with smaller base curve tend to be more suitable for me. If I can wear 10 months, means it will be cheaper than the monthly disposable 1..

Before buying I did another test on my eyes and surprisingly my reading has gone worse, AGAIN in a quarter of the year's time!!! SHITTTTT.

short sighted worse, astig worse. I am going blind... =((((

to be honest, knowing this thing happened to me kinda ruin my mood for the rest of the evening/next day.

So the previous post showed one of the photo with me trying out some glasses while deciding which lense to get. But I find it not nice enough as the frame like too tebal...



What about this one, do you think it look better than the previous one?

A day with no morning meeting

Hehehehe. I like it when I do not have to get up so early...
So today I went do something extraordinary... which is...

Makan fast food!!

Then went to cermin mata shop to try out some glasses. What do you think of this look? Lagi teacher look or nerdy? =P


Money money money~


This 'leng sou' Janet won so much...


Me too!

Jia you jia you! Let me win another RM150 before my vacation!

真心话

For those who faham Chinese, I love my dad's latest post of 不老的希望

Became emotional when I read the last 2 paragraphs in blue color.

Love is so powerful. =)

You have choices

Do you know when you wanted something from others, it is either you keep quiet and think whether the person will agree or not OR take a step ahead and ASK for it!

I choose the later.

And I've got it.

You just have to ASK. Open your gold mouth and ASK.

I've seen people often ask themselves or someone else up there, why this why that. But do they ever ask themselves, that, we all live in the world of choices. Sometimes, we have more than 2 or more choices. Or sometimes, we only have 2.

At least we still get to choose.

Couple months back I was given 3 options in my careerhood. Stay, left for another similiar job with slightly higher pay or left for another new job with whole new dicrection.

I choose the one least people supported. It was not easy. It was a big challenge. But I like it. And never regretted.

Then only I know I am the type who actually like to take up challenges. Wow. I like this route to success. I don't like things come too easily, sounds like too good to be true.

I can choose to stay back and be safe. But I will feel sorry for myself when I see others grow. I hate to feel sorry especially to myself. So I choose to leap.

Now... I am the one who feel sorry for others. But then again, you always have a choice. ^ _ ^

A Mother plays a thousand roles. She is also a lover, wife, daughter, sister, grandmother, coach, breadwinner, chef, financial controller/planner, nutritionist, physician, counselor etc.

What is the toughest job in the world? After God, Mother is one.

Why not we take up this opportunity to hold our Mother's hand and tell her,

Family joke

Random conversation between Grass & ZZc.

April's Buddies Outing

My March - April '09 has been a very happy month.

Besides all the travelling inbound or outbound, I also get to meet one of my oldest friend around. Old as is more than 6 years ago but we lost touch bout 5 years as well. haha.

After he found me in Facebook via a dear collegemate of mine, I was so excited but had not has the intention to meet up with him immediately for catch up due to my very hectic schedule.

So barely two days later this collegemate of mine has called me up for a dinner with some other friends whom she did not say who are they. At first I wasn't so keen because I don't usually go out makan with stranger, I would not feel comfortable then. So I brought a buddy along.

Out of surprise when I reached the makan place after being 1 hour late (thanks, buddy) I saw the 'long lost friend' that I mentioned earlier sitting together with my friends!

There goes all out my excitement and happiness. I had a very good time with you guys even thou its just a norm makan yumchar outing. We shall catch up more often!

Funny encounter with moo-moo

went to Gua mah (grandma) house today. Since ZZC is back... he came along to visit grandma.


Taken in one of the restaurant in Kepong. The food is nothing fancy so I am not going to post about food. (I think you guys also get enough of food picture)

So this time I am going to post something different.

After makan, I sent aunt and grandma back to their house. Everybody has went into the house but me, still taking someone from the car... Then I saw a big brown cow walking on the street in front of the houses!

So quickly I asked ZZC came over and have a look and took camera out.

First thing we did was, snapped picture dulu!!! Because the cow walked so slow and stopped in front of neighbour's house...


We managed to have good shot of ZZC with the cow's............ BACKSIDE! haha.


That is me with her! She is so BIG.


Then mum joined. She was frighten a bit when the cow moved and the body went touch her arm!

Then only we realized why the cow stopped in front of the neighbour's house. One lady came out from the house with a tupperware with prayers food like rice and sweet rice from Indian temple, calling the cow's name (I think cow's name called BAHTT or pronounce as BUTT)

She feeds the cow. She told that sometimes this cow can be spotted sitting on the ground, eating grass nearby and being around. As for Indian, COW is an holy animal.


The cow is eating the brown sweetened sticky rice mixed with norm rice.

The brown sweetened sticky rice is actually a type of prayers food, usually devotees prepared such serving for prayers in temple. I've eaten this type of sticky rice before, taste nothing but like brown sugar mix with sticky rice like that. Not very nice de.


We were told not to disturb the cow, cos if we do, the cow won't eat.

And the lady started to show not-so-a-happy-face already. =P

Before we left the cow alone, ZZC was telling me that the cow got apply make up one.


See? Got thick black eyeliner to make her eyes look bigger!

Then we left the cow alone. =P

Red Alert!

RED ALERT.

There is something that I really want to share with you guys outthere.

I've set a work out routine recently by walking my friend's dog for 30 minutes daily and jog every alternate day for at least 10 minutes. (I hate jog but I wanna turn the hate to love) =)

I usually walk and jog within 3-5km from my house. (let you all know so if one day if I don't come back from walking/jogging you know where to start looking for me.)

I usually try not to carry my mobile phones along especially jogging, to avoid unnecessary attention.

I usually look around and be alert on wherever I am going and try to notice every motor car, motor bike's model n number plate. of course, I will usually not be alone.

The word SNATCH THIEF must be the most spoken phrases for the past couple years. Must be more during past one week.

Where I walked the dog usually will passby some Malay kampung area. Hence many malay residents. Since my friend know his own dog's character very well, we will let him loose and it will follow wherever the master goes. Of course we do keep an eye on him.

So this one day when we let Jay let loose and we all walked pass a 50-ish malay guy in his sarong. The malay guy looked at us and said,
"I am not scared of dog. I am more scared of human nowadays"

What have the world change into?

Then the topic of snatch thief stories started and like never-ending story to tell.

While visiting a friend at NSTP (New Straits Times Press, located somewhere in Bangsar) the other day, he told me his female colleague is a victim of snatch thief for more than once!!. What's worse is that the incident happened in front of NSTP gate and sometimes within the NSTP premises area!

***Most recent incident***
This is a real life incident, happened to people I know
Location: In one of the 40m length lorong, Taman Maluri business centre, Cheras.
Two women walking back to office after having lunch nearby.
One of them was talking on the mobile phone while walking.
There was this motorcyclist (CHINESE GUY)with a infant (small kid) sitting in the basket of the motorbike passby these 2 ladies and...
He snatched one of the lady's gold necklace, all happened in split second!



Imagine how daring the snatch thiefs nowadays are to be! THE MOTORCYCLIST HAS AN INFANT WITH HIM while he snatching my friend's jewelry!!!



Female or male, as long as you walk with two legs (not talking about chicken/duck), please please please be alert. Those who go back home late: please look around before getting out from the car.

Please let your friends/family members/someone you trust know where you are going and reporting to them will minimize the time of them looking for you just in case you went missing for more than 24 hours.

There is no safer place now... unless you go to Mars 火星.

After makan at the famous seafood restaurant @ Batu Feringghi. We left Penang Island.



But.........



That's not all!!!



We stopped by Bukit Mertajam for this one of my favourite local dessert CENDOL!


Each time I look at this photo, saliva also come out from my mouth...






After makan nice cendol under hot weather, I am happy girl!

hmmmm.... Jo enjoying her thick apam.
hehehe

That's about it lah. We had plenty of food rather than those posted on my blog. Some food doesn't look good in the picture but tastefully good. If you guys have a day off or two, please do support local tourism instead of go overboard.

Sorry lah not much captions/stories for the photos. Editing is tiring. =P

Cuti-cuti Makan KL - Penang - KL #2

Dear all, after since the Cuti-cuti makan post #1 published, how come nobody ask for #2?

Our 2nd stop!

Huge fish.



'Ong choi' Kangkung

Lala~

"Lai liu har" aka Sea Cockroach! This one is yummy! =P~

"Tong zi kai" actually these are birds.

Didn't eat this one cos I am not a octopus fan. But nice color.

The winner of this round must be the Lai Liu Har - Sea Cockroach! I love the way they fried and serve the sauce with it. What's better than when I do not have to remove the hard shell? HEHE.

After watcing movie on a 13 inches laptop in one of our hotel room, we decided to hunt for more food.

We all stayed in Sunway Hotel which is very nearby the town, Komtar building. There are many eatery stalls outside the hotel with less than a minute walking distance. We all so hungry (again!) and I didn't have the opportunity to take down photos of all the food we've ordered.





I remember we had:

fried oyster 蠔煎
mixed pork porridge 猪什粥
char kuey teow 炒果条
chee cheong fun with rojak sauce=prawn paste 掺rojak虾酱的猪肠粉
otak-otak
pork intenstine satay 猪肠satay
some ikan bakar (fried fish)
...
cannot recalled. -_-"

That's not all! After makan at the stall we went to the nearest shop to buy souveniors aka biscuits - tambun biscuit. Biji biji one.

After happily whacking our purses, we decided to talk a walk on Penang street. Where is Penang street? Basically Penang street means streets on Penang Island. Meaning we just wandered around to check out what's what.

Guess what I've found while we wandering around? a PUTU MAYAM stall!!!! I AM A BIG BIG BIG FAN OF PUTU MAYAM!!!

And sorry guys I forgot to take photos!!! I was too excited to see the stall and without thinking twice of how much of food I've stuff myself barely 2 hours before, I bought 2 packets with 4 pieces of putu mayam inside. (of course 1 packet is for others)

After feeling contented with the putu mayam, I decided to join my working partners and her friends for a drink in a karaoke makan place nearby. It is actually a restaurant with alcohol serving, but there is one medium size tv on top whereby restaurant customer can sing their heart out. I think if not mistake, the place is namely "Da Place" or something like that. A very simple and 'zha dou' 揸到 name.
HAHA.

"Da Place" serves a very tasty black pepper beef in slices. I don't know what is the 名堂 (name) of the dish but the sauce has a slight black pepper taste and sweet too. Very very nice to be served with rice. But of course at 11pm+, we all take it like snack, together with our whiskey.

Then the night ends with alot more whiskey (2 more I guess). Winner of this dinner-supper round is the PUTU MAYAM~ Lovee the freshly made noodle look alike putu mayam and the santan (coconut) + brown sugar. Can send me to heaven!

***Next day morning we travelled a bit to a breakfast joint. Where these are part of the food we've tried.











Besides the above, we also had fried meehon mee, roti canai, curry laksa mee with thousands of 'seeham' and pieces of pieces of 'pork blood' 猪红 (which I dare not even touch!)




That is how one of our table look like after everybody finish their breakfast.

Actually the best food served for this breakfast round? Is actually the ROTI CANAI's dhall!!! All the normal chinese food we had were just normal. And we decided to ordered the roti canai the LAST. Surprisingly the dhall of the roti canai is quite thick and tasty.

Await for Part 3.

Pampered by Favourite Local Food



Whenever we mention about Peel Road (Jalan Peel, where QueensPark and a Carrefour hypermart are located), immediately I thought of the corner 30 years old kopitiam opposide the Shell petrol station, the stall which selling one of my favourite famous local food aka SATAY.

Speaking of Satay:
My family and I loveeee satay. Including Ahpoh. We all love the satay from Peel Road the corner shop. We even have the number of the stall owner so we can pre order the satay to avoid long queue during special occasion or even during weekends!

Whenever anyone from See Family having satay from some other places, we couldn't stop ourselves from comparing with this our favourite satay stall @ Peel Road.

If you thinking Kajang famous of satay, but See Family doesnt think so. We just never fancy Kajang satay. Probably we havent try any nice one from Kajang.

So my friend was telling me he knows the BEST SATAY around in Klang Valley and ask me to believe him. Since I am a die hard fan for the Peel Road satay, he challenged me by asking me to buy him satay if I agree (that the satay he said is the best).

I took up the challenge without hesitation.

So 2 hours after jogging I was already at the famous satay joint, guess where is it???


The nearest signboard written there "Kawasan Rehat Awan Besar" @ Kesas Highway (first RM 2.20 toll from Sri Petaling towards Klang's way)
Since it is in a R&R, I called it Awan Besar R&R Satay. (instead of calling it by its name "Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri"


I can't believe it, I actually passby each table to see if every table also order satay. Answer is YESSSSSSSSS. EVERY SINGLE TABLE CAN FIND SATAY AND SATAY STICK!


The outlook of the stall. It is at far end of the corner and very easy to spot.


Hehehe. The mickey mouse's 'kuah' (sauce)


That is me with my another favourite local dessert besides Cendol: Ice Kacang.
*slurrrrrps*




That is how much our dinner cost.




Me trying the first satay to check out whether it is really the best satay as claimed!


Tips: Unless you have no choice, but bungkus back the satay will make the satay soggy a bit. (won't taste so good lor)


Price and website available.

Overall the flesh of the satay is quite tender. Don't have to worry can't bite off the satay, unless you have weak teeth like ahpoh (grannie). hehee. I personally love satay with lotsa fats (skin) on it -- that is at first before I tried this R&R satay. But after I tried it, and for health purpose, I decided not to eat the skin/fat part of satay in future.

(main reason was, when I saw friend taking out all the skin part and put on the table, I find it very gross. 'How can I have this kinda gross fatty thing in my body'. That's what I think. =P )

The satay kuah is not hot (spicy) at all, very peanut-ish. Spicy sambal is served for people who love hot sauce. They will serve the ketupat, cucumber and kuah before the satay comes. So when the satay arrive our table, the kuah not that warm no more.

I think both Peel Road Satay and Awan Besar R&R Satay are tied. I can say this is a very very nice satay available in Klang Valley and worth your visit for at least ONCE. 90% of the R&R customer order the satay, some table have few dishes of different type of meat of satay.

Why not you go try both and tell me which one is the best?

When you visit the place in the evening, sitting outside is much better than inside, more space and more windy.

=P~

Again another post about how lucky I am to be Malaysian reside in Malaysia especially Klang Valley, get to pampered by various type of local food, satay, ice kacang, cendol, nice chinese dishes, banana leaf rice, ETC ETC ETC.

IT is 20 to 2 and I am still feel full of sate.

GV April Premier Lifestyle Club Luncheon

Venue: Lemon Garden Cafe, Shangri La Hotel, KL.



I like this photo, macam very mysterious.



While this is colorful, but not enough.

The above two shoots are from the cafe 2 go, a cafe inside Shangri La Hotel, nearest to the restrooms. Took it while waiting for others to arrive.



This is where I had lunch with my other 14 working partners who qualified for the club for this month. This time my dearest buddy cum best work partner, Janet also qualified for the club!



Since we've all work very hard last month, we decided to eat our heart out.








The above are desserts only. No photos of main course. =P
Told you we've been busy eating our heart out, have to eat on behalf also, where got time take photos?



After makan, we both a happy girls!



I should've taken more photos of the food. The cafe's decor is chic, including the waiter/waitress hairstyle also chic. The food which readily served are nicely displayed. The whole environment of the place was nice and decent. Outside has garden and for smokers can go for ciggie break. Food are overall nice. Lotsa seafood available. I only aim for sashimi!!!! Love the smoked salmon too! =P~~

Reason why not much photos? Cos I forgot to charge camera's battery =(

Travelled... 3D2N KL - Betong - KL



First time in my life, I travelled total of distance below on two wheels.



800KM. Return trip from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Betong, Thailand.



/phew.



We made a few stops during the ride. To rest our butt, legs, arms and have a ciggie break (not applicable to all... =P )

It was a nice, short, fun, thrilling, relax, fattening trip.











I love fattening trip = makan massage sleep makan massage sleep.

Not to forget the good serene views from the resort. Yes Betong got resort, don't play play.
