Krabi gateaway

Nite Market

Landed in Krabi International Airport .
Clear custom , amek beg you will reach place call " arrival "

Pegi ke kanan kalau you dah book hotel and takde transportation .
Kat situ I amek taxi 600 baht to Aonang .
Tak perlu amek supir pun .

*** I rasa kalau walk in lebih murah dah book via agoda and etc . Cuma penat la kalau masa pegi tu peak season sat gi tidur kat bus stop pulak . hehe . But I think you able to get the room kalau macam mana peak time pun . Hotel , villa , room , hostel berlambak gila .
Not to worried .

Our Krabi trip , kami stayed kat Phra Nang Inn . A bit pricezy tapi I suka the area . Moo 2 - nama district . Cross the road is walking street dah , cross the other angle is beaches dah .

We decided to rent a bike . Harga sebiji motor 250baht .

Breakfast provided

We took a map - and we planned by ourself .

Kita decided p Krabi town by motosikal . Jauh , 30 min naik motor tapi ok. Nama pun jalan jalan . Makan angin la sikit . But if u bring family I just may took a cab to Krabi town .

Then I pilih back to nature on our outing .
They charge us 750baht per person for Elephant tracking , Emerald pool & Hot Spring waterfall .

Meh kasi review skit on the places .

Hot Spring waterfall - concept back to nature kan . So I would urge proper shoes . Kami pakai thong , a bit not comfortable sebab nak kena jalan . Concept  "Jalan" .
Tempat ni hot spring . Kami tak mandi pun .

Eemarld pool - Excited jugaklah . Macam bukit belacan . hahahha . Takla . Tapi kena jalan . JAUH . result dia okay kalau concept back to nature , tapi kalau rich and famous ala ala Diva not recommended . Peluh ketiak . Masam gila . Mak ai jalan masuk dalam nak jumpa Emerald pool is 0.8KM . huwaaaa . Kat KL pun xjalan punya jauh cam ni kan .
Takde proper shelter . Letak barang bersepah sepah . Tapi make sure nampaklah barang kita letak tu . Takde storage locker bagai .

Elephant tracking - Jalan jalan naik gajah macam zaman dolu . Ala ala King gitu . panas jugak lah . Tapi ingatkan concept kita . back to nature .

Island tour for a day 8 island - Depa kasi 3 orang 2200baht .
Tapi maybe combo package kot .
Makanan halal pulak .
Well , banyak . I highly recommended Chaba . Makan kat KL pun kalau ade ikan , tomyam , banyak lauk pun dalam 100 lebih kan . sama je . Bab makan en suami marah kalau saya berkira kira .
So halal restaurant banyak .
Chaba
Lemon
Banyak lah . Tak ingat . Jalan skit toward masjid Aonang .. banyak kat situ . Kalau local tak nak guide pun ok sebab hangpa takkan sesat . P cari masjid .

Lagi ? We had a great short vacation .
Massage la apa lagi . Harga sama je . 250baht -400baht .
I memang tak buat pedicure manicure sebab dah sign up setahun kat KL , tapi saja gedik color kuku . Yang ni aku recommend . P cari "DEAR MASSAGE " , cari awek nama "nok" . Terbaik . Very neat and cantik . Impress berganda ganda dengan kesungguhan depa menconteng kuku ku .

Done .

Its nothing to do selain Island hoping . Its a place for divers .

My other sister tak la rindu sangat sebab baru je balik with her dari Thailand .. heheh..

We have spent a day in USS . Adam pun dah buat perangai . Elin pun sama , penat .. mana tak nye pakai lagi ala ala diva :p ...

Sedih jugak bila sepatutnya Ira patut join kami , akan tetapi ada perkara yang tidak dapat dielakkan

"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood " - 

 Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Nasi goreng cina bungkus daun pisang! yummy

I have grown up in many parts of the world,  I have eaten many cuisines of the world . The Roti Canai, Chicken Curry Noodle and many other dishes are very good. And we more to Chinese cuisine because we not keen to chilies and hots stuff The spices are like medicine to the soul..

The food is simply delightful

I will recommend this place to everybody Stulang Laut. Near to The Zone Hotel in Stulang, Johor. Don't judge it by its location or set-up, but it's amazing, spicy, aromatic, fresh and delicious food.

This place is super small, located on a main street surrounded by other food establishments. It gets lost amongst all the other things in the area, but give it a try. It's a hidden food treasure.

It's a night store .

p/s : One thing is for sure: I wouldn't take anyone there to impress them - it's a little bit dingy (I'm being generous) - and the restaurant is, quite literally, a hole in the ground.  The food was inexpensive and very tasty but  the service was is SUCKS! really sucks , but we don't care . We love the food and if u keen to blend my note ; I'm sure you would not expect much !

Exploded in Lee Garden Plaza Hatyai, Thailand

Its fresh from oven ! Been there few times ; and when people asked why you choose Hatyai to bring your family honestly I got No answer for that!..
As a Muslim I believed in qada dan qadar from Allah and travel all over the place I but but this time this experienced may not good as my eyes was seeing it to compare to my writing .

The view from my room

Things happen in second. We heard the exploded and we saw the glass broke. Its like a water float come after you. But actually it just and feeling . And I heard my hubby scream and to run and keep saying go! go ! go !

We stayed at Regency Hotel which located less 100 meter from the Lee Garden Plaza . But when things happen we were at Swassdee Massage which located 50meter from the McDonald ( on the left of hotel ).
It was a shocking, terrible scene. There was blood splattered everywhere. I was really in disbelief, in shock. I have never seen so many people laying on the road same time. All these bodies were there and there is baby too and what I heard people were screaming the same question over and over: "Is it a bomb? Is it a bomb?"

We call few friend to export us out. The authority has block the exit. We were stuck in hotel. There is tear in hubby's eyes and children is freaking out..
As I said the experienced this time it so hard to explained but I've some picture for you to understand the feelings been there and saw the real exploded in front of eyes and I was thankful to God cause giving us a chance to be with the love one..



When we received a phone call by Mus a guy that was with us in the lobby when exploded happen told that we safe to walk cause its actually a gas leak , then went for makan outside . He so kind teman us makan , get us a tut tut ..


At 7pm we went out after received the what's app saying is not a bomb from our friends and relatives . So we walk to Mr Hans boutique cause we need to know how we going to exit tomorrow from Hatyai . 

ni kami masa explosion happen!! When oat jerit run.. I x sempat amek gambar pun.. Cuakk.. Kesian anak anak.. But I'm sure they are okay now.. We are leaving hatyai now with thousand over dollar baht still .. ;( .. Walaupun ada yg kata it's happen because of pipe gas or may be car bomb .

yet .. Jiwa kami x kuat.. We need to leave by today.. 

p/s: When I wrote this ; police Thai confirmed its a car bomb . We are safe back home.

 

A visit

We managed to park on the grass adjacent to the small car park most times but on one occasion, at the weekend, took what was the last space in the car park across the road.

Pack your stuff , sit back relax and enjoy the journey.

We had an extremely enjoyable stay here for a short trip. Arrived a couple of hours early but were checked in right away to our room – a premium water chalet – would recommend these as the view is right across the sea rather than to other chalets as shown in my photo. The room was clean and pleasantly spacious and we loved the outside shower/bathroom arrangement. The free Wifi worked very well.

The pools were all good though we spent most of our time by the adult one (as did the peacocks). The other pools were just as good and had more sections to interest children.

We found all the staff very friendly and helpful, particularly those in the restaurants. We had several buffets and enjoyed them very much, they were not cheap but we were hungry as we do not eat much lunch so we had value for money.

Regarding less favorable comments made by previous reviewers – we had no problems of any sort with insects; possibly it was the time of year or they had successfully dealt with them. Breakfast was acceptable and enjoyable though sometimes rather crowded but this was to be expected during school holidays and the staff were always very good at refilling everything and getting anything extra we wanted.

Overall an excellent holiday and we shall be back.

Guangzhou~

I really enjoyed this trip a lot. 

The highlights for me gonna be "Guangzhou~ the shopping paradise"...



We arrived in Bayun International Airport. 
The weather slightly cloudy ; its perfect weather.

Shuttle to Hotel 
We Stayed at Star City Hotel 

Jwe took A12 line 10 at stop at Star City Hotel.  

Its unexpected. The city was supper clean. Pretty building.. I can't imagine this is Guangzhou , or canton the old name. Was though that they kinda old Colosseum u know... 
But its not, they are well maintain with high rise building. They still have the old building and the color was faded but its was well planned . 
Memang tak sangka , even flyover bertingkek tingkek wooo .. Naik kereta mcam naik roller coaster ! 
The city is especially prosperous in commerce, tourism, dining, finance and real estate Seriously! 

Guangzhou acts as the pioneer of the economic development of the country, with thousands of large, small and medium-sized enterprises, which offer more job opportunities and make the city a heavily populated area. 
Guangzhou has a massive number of malls and retail stores. 

Grand shopping malls such as the TeeMall Plaza, the China Plaza plus the trade fairs in the Guangzhou International Building provide easy access to top-notch products from all over the world. 

Muslim restaurant ~ just infront of mosque in town..

Visitors will enjoy stroll on the Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street and Beijing Road Business Street. The city is a true shoppers'paradise. Its a MUST ! You will regret by not to drop by . Maybe some item tak sesuai but its bloody cheap . I bawak balik souvenir kasut high cut Nike woo , can u imagine how cheap could be ? Im loving it ~~

Will never forget the wonderful experience on Asia game 2010 also they are really very friendly and warm... unfortunately I don't know Mandarin and they don't speak English...so we was like doing strange hand-signs trying to understand each other.... But its interesting specially when you speak duo language and understand!;p





Another muslim restaurant near to Xiaobei Train station

  We are two very busy people! When we have time to relax and enjoy the day and ourselves we usually snuggle up on the couch or like to be with family! We love life and happy we get to do it together!!!First time we travel and leave the handbegs at home .. 

Walk around the Shangxia Jiu Lu and Teem Plaza area.

Shangxia Jiu Lu Pedestrian Street is located in the Liwan District of Xiguan, a prosperous traditional commercial district. It is the first commercial pedestrian street in Guangzhou. Walking into this street, you will see the featured Qi Lou, an old building style that exists in Guangzhou and its neighboring areas, on both sides of the road. It reflects the strong Lingnan Culture. On this street lie more than 200 stores, especially those brand name restaurants and teahouses open here. From 13:00 to 21:00 on weekends and holidays and on every night, Shangxia Jiu Lu is restricted to pedestrians only. Its crazy cheal dude!!



Walking on the Beijing Lu, in the center of Guangzhou City, however, you will find a world far different from Shangxia Jiu Lu. It is simultaneously fashionable and traditional. Like wise i more are interested in Japanese and Korean fashion, so went  to Zhuangyuan Fang (Number One Scholar Lane) on Renmin Nan Lu. Although it is a small lane less than 200 meters (219 yards) long, the Zhuangyuan Fang attracts numerous visitors by its most fashionable clothes, ornaments, and small articles that are popular with young people .. like me .. ;p

To complete the mission we took a train to Shenzen, second world shoper's paradise. Shop till drop !



Highly recommended for shopping!



Well we had very good trips in Guangzhou. Better than other places that we have ever been (shopping ) ... full with choice and you can bargain~ I wish I can speak their language that will make our trips easier!

Albert Court

By 3.00 pm, rain was getting smaller and smaller. It was time to explore another area in Singapore. Since it was getting late, We have decided to visit somewhere nearby. I looked through the map and chose to have our lunch at Litle India Mall. It was a short ride to Orchard Road using the MRT. My heart was beating with excitement as soon I'll be amazed at one of the largest and the most beautiful shopping places during sales.

Krabi Island

I’m writing from the plane, en route from Krabi Island, Thailand to KUL. I can’t wait to be home. I’m sitting next to someone who is clearly violating the ‘keep your body parts on YOUR side of the armrest’ rule. Listening to Keane, typing away as my mind races.

I enjoy having freshman year BFF here. They keeps me grounded and I enjoy the candor and honesty that exists in our friendship.

Marya is my best friend since we are standard 4 . We were together since then .

I’m happy that the whole re connection thing has happened.

Redang Island,Terengganu

Memories are something that no one can ever take from you. They're embedded in your brain forever. After my husband and I had spent several month working without any off day, we knew that we had to get away. Where could someone go that would’t be extremely costly?

As the time approached for us to gather up our luggage and travel to Merang Jetty, we started to get more excited. We had no clue as to what we were getting ourselves into, but we were excited about getting away.
The weather is terrible. It was bumpy ride all the way. My son was vomited although I have given ‘novimin’ for prevents to vomits.

We headed to our room, and unpacked our clothing. We felt like two teenagers on a first date... Forgotten that we had three handbags that we has brought along ... The room so big and we had connecting room as per requested.
Thanks for understanding..:)
We can hear the laugh from another door.I believed they really enjoyed the stayed!

Oh, let me tell you about this island.The crystal blue water was something you would think you'd only see on a postcard.We found ourselves just relaxing and talking, and even though there were over 2,000 people on this island, we felt that it was just the five of us. We found an area off in a corner, in the shade, and relaxed . I didn't want to ever leave this island in paradise.
Upon arriving on our dinner, we were greeted by the hostess, which made us feel that they were so glad to see us. It truly was like our home away from home. We were entertained during the night with a wonderful show by the entertainers on the resort. We played some shuffleboard, spent a little time at the recreation center, hung out by the pool, and watched the ice carving demonstration. The list just goes on and on.The most special part of my vacation was having time to be with my family in an atmosphere that made us feel like we were in a world of our own ... in our home on the island…

The remainder of the day could not have been better. We were so excited that we actually went back to our room and called it a night before midnight, so we could prepare ourselves for the next day, for we were going to the Marine Park for snorkeling.Afterward, we headed back to the resort.
We have spent 2 night on the island, and we knew that we are very lucky. To have happy family who never says anything on our busy day.

Many thanks to my beloved husband who work so hard just to fulfill our needed..and I believe everybody need a vacation...:)

Muahhhhhhhh.....
