Hehe nowadays I am quite lazy to update my blogs... actually wanted to share my experience to Mongolia but feel so lazy to type..

I went to Mongolia last month to implement project at client side. Before I went, many people advise me to get prepared for the weather there.. So I went to buy winter clothes etc etc and brought two luggage to there hehehe The weather was not so cold at the beginning but it becomes colder and colder towards end of October.. The food.. there is not much choice so I have to take mutton hahaha now I am not afraid of mutton anymore :p There was not much place to walk around in the city but client got bring us to country side.. The country side view is really really AMAZING!!! I ride camel for a first time hehehe Feel very excited and the camel fur is really really nice... I am going again maybe end of this month or next month.. It will be very very very cold then.. hihihi

I just back from my friends' hen party. Two of my schoolmates getting married on the same day. Feel very happy and many memories flashed back when I saw all my schoolmates.. Most of them did not change much but some I don't really recall their name hahaha Feel all of us really grow up already hehehe.. In other words, I am old liao... I am going to attend one of their wedding dinner and the morning wedding ceremony tomorrow.. Can't spilt myself into two :p

Experience in Dhaka, Bangladesh

I am sitting in one of the meeting room alone in the bank and have nothing to do since the internet connection is down. I didn’t join my colleague as they are in the opposite building busy doing the setup for the bank. I have completed the log generation for both of the banks and now waiting for the log review from MasterCard. At the same time, there is power cut too! Luckily they provided me a fan running with the generator; else I think I will suffocate! hehe

I came to Dhaka on last Thursday for a short certification with MasterCard and will be here until this Thursday depending on MasterCard schedule. It was a last minute trip and I met up with my colleagues here who came few days earlier for version upgrade project. I feel so relief they are here actually, else I think I will be very bored… hehehe

The feeling in Bangladesh wasn’t same when I was in other country. I don’t have any mood to wander around the street as there are not many girls on the street and I feel myself looks very weird when I am walking on the street. It’s a very busy city with many people on the street and the drivers drove the car very fast. The city is errr… a bit dirty too… They have their traditional trishaw and tuk tuk as the transportation. I experienced the trishaw yesterday for the first time in my life. Wow! It was a bit scary as I think I almost fell down and it’s very near to the car hahaha

The food. I have my dinner every night at the hotel so far. Luckily the food was still okay.. haha For lunch, I have skipped two days for lunch as I have no idea what to have.. But yesterday, I tried the lunch.. it’s rice and curry and taste quite good!

When I came for first two days, there is no power cut at all even at the hotel.. so I thought it will be safe.. But yesterday while working, the power cut started. At night, when I am in the hotel half way taking my shower, there is power cut.. I was =_=!!!! and no idea what shall I do.. Luckily the power came few minutes later.. The whole night I guess there were few times power cut as I couldn’t sleep well and it’s very hot too…

Another thing surprise me is the users!! I have been supporting them almost since my first day of my work in this company and I haven’t met them before. I am very happy as I am able to meet them here . But I am very surprised that some of them are actually very young guys and one of them is actually an actor too!! So surprised that almost everyone in the card division knew my name but I only know the system co-ordinator.. The users all are very nice and friendly… They take care of us very good… Feel appreciated to them 

The place that I am staying is Mothijeel and I yet to experience the Gulshan area. Our partner office is located at Gulshan area and there are plenty of food there.. Heard from my colleagues it will take almost 2 hours to reach Gulshan due to jam and there will be no taxi willing to take us back to Mothijeel.. haha Think maybe I won’t have the chance to go to Gulshan to have a look already.. :p

After writing this, I really no idea what to do next.. I am waiting for the user from another bank to bring me go to lunch at 1pm time here (time in Malaysia is 3pm) hehe.. Hopefully the internet connection will be up soon!!

Back from Jakarta

I just come back from Jakarta on last Tuesday. I received a bad news on that day!! My dog is missing! The whole family was very sad :( But luckily we found him back on today after paying RM300 to the people who found him.. Although RM300 is too much but no choice as we want him to come back.

Last Friday in Jakarta, the bank staff brought me to Platinum Restaurant in Plaza Semanggi for dinner. I had steamboat and the food was not bad.. hehe thanks to them for bringing me out and caused trouble to them as it was quite difficult to get taxi on that day..

On the saturday, I went to one of their new mall called Pacific Place. There is nothing much in this mall but the interior design is very nice.. I had Nasi Lemak at Ah Tuan Ee's Place in this mall. Well, the nasi lemak taste really cannot fight with the normal nasi lemak that I have.. Really not nice at all.. After lunch, I walk around the mall and think there is nothing to see to spend my whole day, I decided to go to ITC Kuningan & Ambassador Mall. Before I left, I went to one of the restaurant called Urban Kitchen. This place looks like a food court. They gave me a card when I enter and I place my order from the stall. After that, they will send over the food/drink. People only need to pay by using the card when they go out. The design at this restaurant is really nice so I decided to have Papaya Juice there hahaha. At ITC Kuningan, I look for Batik dress as the bank staff said the dress is cheap here.. Their batik dress are very nice and many design.. Finally I got 1 with RM24 only hehehe Very tired when walking at ITC Kuningan so I went to Ambassador Mall to have my dinner at Hoka Hoka Bento (I have no idea what else to have there) hehehe After dinner, I went back to hotel and rest..

The next day, I went to Senayan City again.. Went out quite late and I had a late lunch at one of the Thai Restaurant (I forgot the name again). I ordered Seafood Tom Yam noodle and very YUMMY although I don't like too many mussels.. Enough sour and hot! But the portion was too small.. hehehe Then I went to shopping again lo.. Went to Debenhams to look for Crocodile shirt for my dad since there is 50%. Grab one shirt and after that I went to Zara again.. Bought 1 t-shirt from Zara and they don't allow to try on t-shirt.. Luckily I can fit into the shirt.. I have my dinner at Duck King with their famous Duck meat.. Yummy.. the duck skin is very crispy...

Really spend a lot in Jakarta because there is nothing much can do other than shopping hehehe

The next day after I come back I start work already. This time I am not tired.. Maybe I can sleep well in Jakarta as the hotel is very comfortable compared to Cambodia hehehe

*§uMMerBaB¥* @ Jakarta

I am sitting at the hotel lobby and wondering what to do hehehe The night is still young and I couldn't sleep so early.. So I decided to update my blog hehehe

I have been in Jakarta since last week Monday for work and will be going to KL on next Tuesday. Last weekend, went to few shopping malls here.

On Saturday, I went to Senayan City for shopping. There are big sales in Jakarta now. I have my lunch at one of the Japanese Restaurant in Senayan City (forgot to take down the name). I have Tempura Udon and Dragon Roll... Very super full and I can't finish the Dragon Roll hehe Maybe also it wasn't that nice... After that, I start my shopping :D Bought a jeans from Topshop which have 50% discount and another 10% discount for HSBC card hehe Then I went opposite to Plaza Senayan to find for Polo T-shirt for ladies. Bought 1 Polo T-Shirt from Sogo for my cousin and went back to Plaza Senayan to buy another Polo T-Shirt for her son since it is 50% discount. After walking for whole day, I feel very tired.. Went to the supermarket to buy some groceries and have my dinner at Burger King... I had BK Fish Set and it taste like McDonalds Fish Fillet

On Sunday, I went to Plaza Indonesia... Notice there is a new mall opposite Plaza Indonesia known as Grand Indonesia so I asked the taxi driver to stop me there kekeke
Went in Grand Indonesia and the first thing that I have in mind is I was LOST! There is not many directory in the mall and I have to walk all the way to the lower ground floor to see the directory haha The first thing I do is I hunt for food as I was hungry... Found 1 restaurant for Shabu Shabu and I saw many people inside.. I think it would be nice... But but but..... it wasn't nice.. The soup doesn't have any taste and the chicken meat taste yucks... I couldn't finish the whole meal.. I just ate the vegetables and rice and went off hahaha I shop a little while in Grand Indonesia and I found I am very dizzy because I was a bit lost there hahaha Then I walked out to Plaza Indonesia.. Fuhh..finally I feel better... The first thing I reach Plaza Indonesia is go to Hard Rock Cafe at EX. Help my colleague to look for a T-shirt and bought 1 t-shirt which I think quite nice hehe.. Then I saw another T-shirt for myself and the shirt is actually for kids haha but the size is quite big.. so I bought it lor..

After that, I thought of want to watch movie and I queue up.. After I queue up a while, I think I saw the wrong time hahaha The movie will end very late so I don't want to watch liao.. So I go back to Plaza Indonesia and shopping again.. But bought nothing... After that, I walked back to EX to have Fish & Chips at Fish & Co. The waiter ask me whether I want to take away my food hahaa sigh..sounds so pity having dinner alone kekeke

Overall, my weekend was fine and not so bored.. Quite tired too as I have been walking for two full days... This week I have two days for shopping again.. Still undecided where to go.... ;)

Durian Trip @ Sungai Klau

Herm..I should start updating from the Westin Dinner that I went on last Monday. The environment and service was not bad there.. But the food portion was too small :( After eat, might need to go other place to have 2nd dinner :p Maybe it's a free dinner so they don't give a very big portion haha The food taste okok only lo.. not really fancy of it

Last week, I was on Level 1 support. WOW!! I really bad luck.. Start to get my first call on Wednesday 9pm and support till 2am. After that, another bank call at 5am and support till 10am. Yet, I still not able to find the solution. Got a whole day off on Thursday but also didn't manage to rest much as I went to karaoke at night :p Then got call again on Saturday morning 8am.. As usual support till 11am but the batch run still abort sigh.. The bank insist don't want to down the link as it's peak hour so we schedule to perform recovery at 12am midnight. After that, I went to sleep till 8pm and continue support from 12am until next morning 9am as the batch run abort again after 2nd recovery and we perform manual clean up after that. In between, receive another call from a bank for two issues. First issue was resolved but I can't continue for 2nd issue as the batch run for that another bank abort *SIGH* I think I didn't pray hahaha My entire weekend was spoilt and I feel very very super tired...

Right after I finish the support, I joined my colleagues for Durian Trip at Sungai Klau. In case you don't know where is Sungai Klau, it is near Raub, Pahang. We started our journey by having dimsum at Jalan Ipoh and after that we drove to Sungai Klau.. It was really a nice experience as it was my very first time go to Durian farm. Saw a lot of durian trees, dragon fruit trees, soursop trees, cocoa trees etc etc... We have to sit the truck in order to travel to the farm... The trip costs us RM45 per person and you can have the durian as much as you want.. The owner also prepare some other food for us such as meehoon, pumpkin cake, Dragon Fruit jelly, potato tong sui and soursop drink... There is also a river there and the water is crystal clear heheh After we had our durian, we went to play water at the river.. It was very relaxing and cooling... Around evening time, we come down and the trip included 1 dinner.. Quite a lot of dishes for the dinner although not really nice hahaha But RM45 is very very worth for this trip and the experience was really really good!!!
Below are some pics from the trip hehehe

Finally back to KL

Finally, I am back to KL after 25 days in Cambodia! Phew, this was the longest trip that I had been!!

This time I took MAS and I touched down KL at 2pm.. Quite early compared taking Air Asia which is 7pm. You know what I had for lunch at the flight? Only sandwiches for lunch =_=!!. It's look like breakfast is much more better than lunch. When I went to Cambodia with morning flight, I had nasi lemak hahaha Anyway, it's ok lo.. think they want to cut cost and fight with Air Asia..

On that night itself, I had gathering with two of my good friends coming back from Australia for holiday here.. Well, it's quite rush but no choice as the only available time for both of them is only Friday night. Although, I was tired but after seeing them I am no longer tired because I am too happy.. hehe Very miss the time that we study together, went out together and chatting... Long time never been so happy before.. Feel I am young again lalala hahaha

The next day morning went to facial.. Wow super tired as I back home at 2am the night before.. After facial, went to lunch at this place called Mizi Shabu Shabu near Carrefour Kepong.. Quite nice as each person has his/her own pot and you can order your own portion :D

And today... went to red box again lo.. Will be going on Thursday as well.. having some sort of rehearsal hahaha Joking hehehe... no voice already so cant sing on Thurs liao.. T_T

Tomorrow, my soul mate invited me for free dinner at Westin Hotel.. Quite look forward for it lo coz heard it was quite nice hehehe Will update again about the food :p

Modem Spoilt Again!

My modem spoilt again after 1 year :( Have to spend money again to buy a new one!!
Today, I went to Low Yat with my sister, brother and brother's gf to look for a new modem. I decided to buy a wireless modem since I will be doing support work and I need to call up people for help. The phone signal in the computer room is not good. So if I have a wireless modem, I can online from the living room during that time.. So end up I spent RM200 lor :(
