My little milo tin car which never had any major service before under care, finally went for it maintainence which cost me rm700+  

** 26th Aug, just few hours after ranting about the above, this morning an ice cream truck bang into the back of my car on the way to work. Is this karma ? It’s so badluck of me this month.

Considering the big hole in my wallet, while having dinner with some friends last night, my tooth filling fell out again! Remember how i rant about it here and here ?

So embarrassing actually because among the friends, 2 are actually dentist~ and i’m suddenly their topic of discussion?

Quickly made an appointment to fix it at Dr. Yap as soon as I can. I kept the inlay so i can bring it back to the clinic and when I showed it to Dr.Yap, he told me he dont need it -_- He had stop doing inlay ever since he was a student and nowadays no one does it anymore. Doc even joked people have these kinda inlay made in gold ha ha ha [ -_- ]

I was like HUH?? I blardy paid rm200+ for it as it was “needed to be done”.  Adding salt to the wound, doc say just sticking the inlay back will definitely not fit anymore and confirm will fall out easily. Knowing this problem will happen, the people at phoon just stuck it back for me and send me off with a heavy bill. Hey, so I was not cheated once, but twice ? and had to pay to be made a fool ?

Either Phoon Dental in Penang really lack of updating themselves with the current dental trend and still stuck in their old eras or they just do whatever that can ensure they always have returning customers. I will never ever recommend anyone to Phoon Dental.

I fixed the stupid tooth today and it just cost me RM70. The color even look more natural, not like the stupid greyish inlay i paid RM200 for. Now i can eat in peace!

In a nutshell, I’m so gonna end my August in super huge deficit.

First of all, we need to keep the visa issued upon arrival and present it before departure. Valid for 3 months. What was that about 1Ma..? huh? Get the basic right first okay?

After much research on accommodation, we settled for this quaint little boutique style hotel near Gaya Street – Eden54. It’s run by the owner herself therefore, you’ll be expecting the cream of the cake terms of service. It actually has all the basic stuff you will need in a room where you just sleep in. Clean, comfortable bed and nice tv. Do a quick check on tripadvisor if you like to know more or just look at the website. You’ll find almost all the info you need.

We rented a kancil for RM100 per day to drive around. Most of the places of interests are actually located out of KK. Do come prepared with a reliable GPS. The things we noticed is, the locals are really easy-going lots. They aren’t that calculative very good *like*

Picked up CousinTing near her rented house and went straight to eat! What else!

Had this funky green milk tea – also known as Teh C Special. The last green layer still remains an unknown substance 0_O  However, it’s nice! something you must try when you are in Sabah, you know? like Penang = Char Koay Teow  -_-

Also, we tried the local dish which is something like Wan Tan Mee but it is called kampao mee instead. The soup is herbal base, not soy sauce hehe. It’s actually nice.

After filling our tummies to the brim, we went to visit the UMS campus and 1BORNEO before proceeding on our adventurous journey to find Lokkawi Wildlife Park. It took us longer because “someone” choose not to trust the gps *dark face*

Entrance fee @ RM10/pax for local.

Remember to join in the Animal Show, i think at 3pm daily. It was actually entertaining and surprisingly good for local zoo. haha! Like watching CousinTing losing to an Orang Utan.. hahaha!

Just to share some funny animals shots.

Lazy wildcat.

Obscene Orang Utan

proboscis monkey..is it even spell this way? It look so funny with the flat nose!!!

Some beautiful visitors to the Park.

And 2 boring human :P

Stay tune for the next post on one of the best seafood deal in KK

Unanimously, Europa will be our ultimate choice with 2 years holiday maker visa. Then we talk about some of our fondest memories from travelling. So happen she loves travelling as traveler, not tourist. Big differences.

Coincidently, my college mate suddenly uploaded our old photos on Facebook -_- talk about coincidences.

Reminiscence bout the time of the below photos was taken. One of my fondest memory in life. Such simple life back then. How i miss the times…

Karma people.

Sometimes, being ignorant to the surrounding could be such a bliss!!

Ignorant + Simple = Happy!

Life is as colorful as a candy store. Today is just a sour grape flavor for me. Tomorrow will be cherry tomato !!!

How time flies. I am now 1 year old at my current job. A place where I still find my job challenging and although I whine from time to time, I can still say I quite like what I’m doing. Of course, nothing is perfect. The team I’m in, we are so aggressive, not many can survive the “possessions” that happen daily/hourly basis.. It’s a madhouse. So I’m very happy and glad, I survived!! What more when I’m a total newbie to the industry. I am part of the team when the company were practically nothing in Malaysia and now we are #1

Two years and counting, MrSmallFace is still MrSmallface Good job to you! Keep up the good work ya.Looking forward to many years calling you MrSmallFace in my blog instead of other names.

I look so pale here, but I’m NOT!! It him being so tan, cis -__-

My besties turning quarter a century old. Kekekeke~!! Happy birthday dearies!

Visiting CousinTing also means setting my foot at East Malaysia for the first time. Really is cuti cuti Malaysia year for me. If I manage to go Kelantan or Kota Bharu, I would have really done it!! Let’s hope I quickly blog about KK before losing the mojo again…

Finally, this is how we do teambuilding in our company!!

Inception was ingenious!! I won’t mind watching and rewatching it again as it’s seriously pure mind fuck!

If you love watching movie, GO WATCH IT!
If you only choose to watch certain genre of movie, GO WATCH IT!
If you dont watch movie at all, just GO WATCH IT!

The point is

GO WATCH IT!

I want to fall into a limbo~ rock it~

~the end~

Sometime early this month, I was dispatch to Kuantan for work purpose. My boss is such a foodie, it was actually quite nice going on trips with him because he’ll be able to bring me to unique places to savor local delights.

As mentioned in previous post, I’ve so much good spots to share in the suburbs of Malaysia but I’ll start off with this. Simply because it’s not everyday you get to see my taste Curry Mee

This one especially are served with Wild Boar meat that is just so tender!! The noodle used are not the usual thick yellow noodle, instead it is kind of “flat” ? Like thin ruler…he he.. nice

I had the small bowl without the veges. Don’t dare to take the photos of Boss’s bowl

It’s really rare to be able to try wild boar meat that are tender. Good! And the place operates in the middle of no where. In a small shack next to a field. That’s my boss, ignoring me, enjoying his meal

It cost less than RM12 for 2 glass of iced Milo and 2 bowls of noodle. Rest assure, the normal bowl portion are much bigger hehe..

I forsee another week in Penang in August when my uncle visits from Taiwan.

Looking at the above schedule, I already felt tired. Strangely enough, living out of my suitcase is something I’ve wanted and I am now living it! It may be tiring at times but I get to learn new things almost daily. Like why a village will remain to be a village like FOREVER due to the people there -__- How village people live life so carefree simply because they are not expose to material things.

I really do want to blog more on the food and places! but once I’m back in the hotel room, i’ve few hundreds emails to go through and then I’ll be so tired I just want to sleep. The next day, meetings entire day again and repeats.

Will blog on the fantastic food when time allow!!

It’s is indeed a Visit Malaysia Year for me

Always had love the images like these. Soft color and all. It had been a long week. I hope my break will come quick! So tired. So many ups and down and million things to complete at work.

A place called The Wine Shop, just the road sandwich between Pulau Tikus Bee Cheng Hiang and old Shakeys

Loving the place

I know that we will revisit the place again in the future.

Another fun night with the brady bunch

Our only group photo of the night. Hahaha.. The guy in the middle is still single/maybe..

Most people would usually be excited and eager but I felt that most of us are feeling a teeny bit reluctant to leave the place we called home for the past 15years. If not because of the deteriorating condition of the neighborhood…

15years where we spend most/all of our educational stage of life. Where humans usually have their fondest memory of their life. le sigh..

Sentiments. Life goes on. New place looks real fine now albeit messy due to unpacking and stuff going on ZzZZzz..

Looking forward to creating new sentiments at the new house!!
