5 Things I Hate about Having 2 Homes

1. My pets are in different locations. And I can shift neither ones here nor there. Right now my dogs and rabbits plus a guinea pig n a pair of tortoises are in Cheras while a sugar glider, a pair of guinea pigs and some fishes are here with me in Damansara.

More pets in Cheras but fact is I stay in damansara more but there’s no way I can shift the rest of the animals here due to space and a lack of a maid U_U

2. I have to keep getting used to 2 different beds and air temperatures. In cheras I can huddle under my comforter and sleep happily without the air conditioning and the windows wide open. Here, I’d probably die of heat stroke and get killed by mosquitoes.

In cheras I sleep alone. In a sense that’s fine because my dogs sleep with me but I like having the boyfriend next to me. Makes me feel secure =) so sucks when I have to go back there and sleep without him =(

3. Half my clothes are here and the other half there. This may possibly be the worst of the lot because its really quite hard to match outfits and such. The inner slack in me often gives up in frustration and throws on a pair of shorts and a grubby tshirt.

4. My main computer is back in cheras. It has all my stuff like music photos and photoshop but I can’t move it here because the mother occasionally needs to use it. There’s a pc here but its not up to my comp and there’s an amazing lack of space.

No, I don’t own a laptop.

5. The long long drive between the 2 when you’re tired and cranky. And its worst when you have to drive home alone from one location to the other one =( its a sad lonely emotional drive. Very much so. Le sigh. And sometimes you just wanna stay put in one location but you know you have to make a move now or the traffic is going to be a bitch and make the drive a whole lot crappier.

Hat Yai Day 1 – 2 July 09

okay. so in most cases it would be good to note that i never photoshop my pics because im lazy like that and i have just way too many to spam my blog with to even bother. on travel logs however, some pics have been colour editted. which have and which have not really doesnt matter la. but if it does i’ll definitely make it a point to note it down. anyway if they’re too small click on them to see a bigger one. i advice to use right click open in new tab. lol. some can open some cannot. u know la. when editting in design view sometimes u backspace or what then the link hilang adi and im really too malas to bother checking one by one la.

went at night arrived in the morning =D took the bus down and really, the uber long i dont remember 5 or 7 hour trip really WAS NOT AT ALL BAD. the bus was crazy comfortable with massive seats and the best part. only 40 FUCKING BUCKS baybeh. its really a good way to travel up to Hat Yai if you’ve got time and want to spend it doing your own things like reading or playing with the psp or the laptop or something because the ride is definitely much more comfortable than the plan or a car. sorry no pics because i forgot. i did take them on the last day but wait till then la =p what bus also i forgot T_T but according to my Thai travel buddy pretty much all the buses of that price range up are about the same standards so i’d say its a pretty safe bet. eh note that it was 40 bucks in 2009 ya. i dont know how much is it now because nobody will go with me and it sucks to not have a thai friend to translate stuff for me =p

had this jambu guava thingie at the rest stop. actually its quite nice wan. budden hor.. suet li says its just guava soaked in syrup =S and not really jambu. pfft. but its okay. still somewhat tasty?

haha. and we all know i never go anywhere without a doll from a boyfriend. and this is pinky, the representative of the ex =D

_MG_6831 (2)

i dont remember what the point of this pic is. its either the view after i just arrived or the view after we got down from the hotel. we stayed at this budget place called Rado Hotel. 50 bucks a night for 2 twin size beds, air conditioning and a really clean and big toilet. eh its a budget hotel ah. dont expect amazing ya. but it was okay cuz its clean =D its a slight walk from the bus stop and i really dont know where its located but im sure you’ll find your way if you decide to stay there. no pics here cuz i was way too stoned. 2nd day ada la i think. its me camwhoring wan but can see the beds and part of the room in the background. lol

_MG_6835 (2)

the famed tuk tuks of thailand! i really like these ones more than those in bangkok. okay in general im a small town person and pretty much stay away from cities =S

_MG_6837 (2)

after walking around the thai boy got hungry and me being a pescetarian i was rather hard to feed. lol. so he brought me to his favourite western place which was apparently very worth the money. its called Sizzles and its really quite good with buffet salad bar and soups and stuff =D at least i liked it.

_MG_6855

_MG_6856

_MG_6881

this random building was really weird. the sun kept hitting it in a way that only this building gets lit while around it it’s all dark.

_MG_6884 (2)

random car!

after more aimless wondering went back to the hotel freshen up and headed out to this night market that he apparently frequented at a child. its really big and apparently these kinda night markets are scattered all over town. just pick up a map and look for the legends. the one we went to was called Green something i think. i just remember the word green. lol. you get all sorta crap there like ure hair stuff and tshirts and all at really cheap prices. not much bargaining needed either UNLIKE bangkok. pfft. lotsa random foods around and things to see as well. it really was quite big lor.

_MG_6898 (2)

see what i meant. suddenly got this one. and around it got some other games stalls and stuff. its really cool!! its powered by a fan only. i keep thinking the thing is gonna break and fly off cause it looks so fragile but nobody really gives a shit. lol

whee… looks so fun lor =( but im too big for it. ish

_MG_6907

Opinionless Me

Lately I realised I haven’t exactly had much of an opinion on anything .__. Hence the lack of bombarding random rants and what nots I used to spam my blog with on a daily basis.

I really am becoming unusually docile .__. Am I not a wee bit too young to just lay in the shadows and accept this and that with a smirk on my face and the sigh of my lips. Yes indeed a smirk and not a typo for a smile. Am still very roll my eyes type at everything.

Just much less noisy.

Okay I’m really tired and blur and I think I’m rambling nonsense so off to la la land I go! See you in my dreams ;)

Hello!

IMG_2348

Because Ginny has been neglecting her blog, I as a keen visitor is very agitated so I shall update for her out of courtesy!

She has now finished her exams and is busy with ‘everything’ while she enjoys the much reminisced Nasi Lemak & Chicken Rice flavored biscuits.

Magical biscuits, is what I call them. I’m not a fan of biscuits but it really does to that pop pop effect in your mouth when you put it in. If you’re a Malaysian you would truly understand what it feels to have Nasi Lemak, right? The biscuit is as small as your thumbnail (or maybe bigger), and when you bite it – you start to taste the rice, then the ikan bilis, then the peanuts, the sambal – and then the cucumber to cleanse the taste. No, its not some biscuit that wraps allt he said ingredients. Its just a disturbingly plain cookie with no visible ingredient with relevance to the lauks mentioned above.

The only problem…it’s DAMN expensive!

The next problem…it’s not located in Malaysia but in Singapore!

Anyways, I’ll tell you a little secret about Ginny

She’s called Sheen Leng so please stop calling her Ginny (bet you can’t) and secretly looks like a super Korean girl.

Okay bai.
