Travel

Boy, am I addicted to traveling. I think I'm infected by the travel bugs. I just came back from Penang and now I am itching to set foot on my way to another place far away...maybe Shanghai...
Yup, Shanghai....wish I could go but alas... it's only a dream for time being.


My Tai Kor and his friend have been planning on a business trip to Shanghai.... secretly I wish to follow, but knowing Tai Kor, he would say "NO GIRLS / WOMAN ARE ALLOWED"


Well, I just have to dream on.


Remember the janda, here's the latest news... she has found herself a new victim... her ex boyfriend...


Why I AM SO DISLIKE HER??? Simple, she disgraced all widows out there... What kind of woman who would find men, entertain them then squeeze out any tiny drops of money from the men's pockets until they are totally dried out. She has the nerve to boast and to announce her intention is to find men who are rich and 'strong' to support her... YUCKS....


I wish I can put her photo here but then I don't want her to start running to bomoh to curse a spell on me. Rumour has it that she loves to use the bomoh's service to put spells on her men so they would do her biddings days and nights....


Well, if anyone wants to get to know her her better, just email me... and I'll will give you her number but YOU have been warned. Know her at your own risk.

Incredible Tales

I love to watch this series. This is about the tales on supernaturals. The series are created by a team from Hong Kong, which is headed by Master Szeto.


This time around they made a movie based on the tales. I managed to get an uncensored version of it.


For those who are faint hearted, this is not for you. In the first part, the team followed the members of a society which collect dead bodies of people who has died unnatural death. Well, they managed to shoot a film of a man who has killed himself by hanging from the windows and from slicing his wrist. They showed clearly the feature of that man. This is the first time I saw a person dead from hanging. The thing that struck me me was that he has wet himself while in the process of dying and also that he has seen himself dying from the mirror which was in front of him. Kind of scary......


The other parts of the stories are the feeding of 'toyol' using the blood from a live chicken and fish, the process of making a blood curse which is reputed to have the power to change the luck of one's person, the process of healing a lady suffering from the worm curse (I hate this part because it clearly showed the woman spitting out tons and tons of wriggling worms...yucks).


There is a part on the trying to ascertain the myth that a yin's breath can bring back the soul of the dead person from the other side. They asked the hostess to open the coffin and to give the dead person a yin's breath.... very scary and I believe that the smell of the decayed body can be terrible.


Another part which I find fascinating is that the team has visited Papan, Ipoh yes our Ipoh. It seemed that there's a village there which is deserted to the the myth that the villages have dug up their ancestors' bodies and let them bathe in the sunlight. It was said that they changed the luck of that village to become worst and thus most of the villagers left or have died early.
The team has asked a girl name Ka Ka, who can seen ghosts to talk to them and one of them managed to possess her body. She immediately talk and behave like a man.

The final part of the story was that the team visited Kellie's Castle. They set up cameras all over the place. One of them fell down and when they recover the tape, it clearly show up close a ghost pushing down the camera....
How about that????

Penang.....again!!!

Yes, I went to Penang again. I made the trip on last Tuesday. I had thoughts of not going after the last time I went to Penang. What did happen during the last trip? Let me recap....oh yes... the punctured tire near Jawi which made my trip back to KL about 14 hours which caused me to loose the chance of seeing a fren off to Japan AND also to loose an old friend after that trip to Penang.

That's why I have second thoughts of going to Penang. Furthermore, early that morning I can't seem to find my book of prayers as it seems to dissapear into thin air.....some sign of bad omen BUT it manage to resurface in another bag of mine and so off I went to Penang.

This time around I stayed at the same place. I was thinking of checking into one of the hotels there but there were fully booked by one convention of Amway. The room which I can find would cost me RM 400++ per night... huh... too much for me. So, I had to stay at the same place which holds a lot of unpleasant memories.

This time around, I had some 'companies'... yeap these fellas would be out playing around at night... u know those things which go bumps at night. There were a lot in this area... anyway, I won't name that place. I have stayed in that area 3 times in a row and it never fails to 'entertain' me.

The reasons I went to Penang because I had to send an old 'friend' out to the sea, to buy DVDs, I wanted to see my friends who are based in Penang (sadly to say I didn't see them) and also to meet a friend of mine who is based in Kulim. It was so nice of him to come down to Penang to see me (hehehe got business with him).

I only spent one night in Penang then I came back home. I felt kind of funny staying in that place. Another thing that strucked me is that along that stretch of road, there's no place to have breakfast, so, I had to go all the way to Air Itam to get my brunch. Another reason I went to Penang is because I wanted to go to Kek Lok Si. I just felt like going there, to get something from there. At first, it seemed that I won't be getting what I wanted but at the end, I managed to get one.

This time around, nothing bad happen and I had conquer my phobia ..... yipppie

Feel like sleeping

The weather has been acting very strange lately. Today, it shows it is going to rain. Yesterday, it didn't rain, the previous day, it was raining... so, I presume, there will be no rain tomorrow.


I am feeling very sleepy right now. I didn't get much sleep. I had to make a police report around midnight because someone told me that the Klang police station won't be congested.. so I believe him and I went around midnight. Yup... he was right. It was my first time in the newly renovated police station. Well, after making a statement, I had to go up to the 3rd floor to meet on Sarjan Az..


I thought ok 3rd floor, no problem.. peace of cake... stairs only ma... Phew... nobody told me that I have to climb the stairs up to the 3rd floor and the stairs are not inside the building. I can practically see the building below me getting smaller and smaller.... It was still ok to climb up but to climb down,, that's the big problem. Suddenly, I felt I can't move my legs and I had to hold on to the handle just to climb down. It was a scary feeling climbing down from the 3rd floor. When I reached the ground floor, I was full of relief. Erm.. now I know I am scare of heights hehehe


A friend of mine whom I have not met for more than 10 years found me in FB... yup thanks to FB again. Her name is Vivien. We were quite close back then. Well, she is hanging on to my words of be my friends and I will tell you my stories. Well, I have to keep my promise. I tried to tell her one today but I am too sleepy to think... What would I say, where would I start...hehehe.. she's online now in FB. Vivien, here's yr story.

New Words

I had a lot of laugh on last Friday and Saturday. My friends, E and L, they love to talk a lot... When they talk, sometimes they would stumble on words... such as

Muzium Samudera -> Muzium Samutu
Kereta kabel -> Kereta kebal
jambatan -> jambatu
Honda Civic -> Honda V6 (created by K)
surau -> rasau (created by Je)

We would have fun time creating sentences using those mispronounced words....What a fun day

1 Malaysia

Every now and then, our leaders would come out with a statement to promote 1 Malaysia. I don't know it would work or not...we all know what is really going on in Malaysia.

Well the leaders are busy promoting this but do they really go down to the grass roots.

For the past few days, a friend of mine, E would tell stories of teachers being not promoting the concept of 1 Malaysia. She told me that some of the teachers accompanying the school's field trip would not go to certain places just because that places belong to Chinese company. You tell me, does a mushroom farm and a chips' factory would do any harm to the school children just because they belong to Chinese? Then there is this particular teacher from a KL school who requested that they want to go to places which only belong to the Malays...... huh???

Then there is another parent who told me that her child's teacher told her to go back to the Mainland China because she does not belong her as her BM is poor.

My question is that what's the point of having our leaders promoting the concept of 1 Malaysia and the Education Ministry running the Rancangan Integrasi Murid Untuk Perpaduan for the school children when some of the teachers are not keen to integrate??? Waste of money, don't you think???

Another example... http://niamah.blogspot.com/2009/11/fix-it-and-make-it-better-or-worse.html

My money is mine, his money his mine too

Nope, this is not about me. It's about a malay woman, nearly 40 yrs old,who is twice divorcee, who has 3 kids and is now looking for a new prey, I mean a man especially a young man.

I knew her from a friend of mine. She proclaimed to be a true Islam and a true lady. She is my friend girlfriend until she found out that he is poor with no job and has a lot of debts in hand.

Although she is nearly 40s, she proclaimed herself to be cute just like the teens. She told me in her own words..'Laki aku dua sebab aku bosan asyik laki yang sama jer, aku nie comel. Aku nak duit jantan aje. Aku saja cita laki aku suka pukul agar dia kesian'.

What kind of a woman is that? Not only did she bring disgrace to all woman out there but also disgrace herself in her own words. She would preach the rules of Islam but I think she has broken each one of them.

Based on her words, there might be other guys who would be foolishly fall in love with her. She's not cute at all.. she's a short fat lady who still live in a dream. Pity my friend who has fallen for her, lost his job over her and now he has nothing at all.

I I could, I would post her photo so as to give warning to the other guys but I don't want to be sued hahaha... I think she is now on prowl and I believe her next victim would be the assistant to a Datuk. I wonder how many men she had?

6th day in China

Yes, today we are going to visit qufu. It took us half a day to reach Qufu, the birthplace of Confusius. This has become my routine everyday... woke up early, check out and on the road again going to a new unknown place. So far, the journey is through highways but once in a while, I would be travelling through the countryside. I managed to get a glimpse of villagers washing their clothe along the streams. I had never seen one live before.. well that was the first time. Another scene which I can't forget is that men would wear jackets, the one we use to wear to office to work in farms. I remembered my guide Wei, told me that many years back, when the Chinese go out from the country, the government would sponsor them RMB 300 to buy jackets/coats to wear overseas so as to enhance their image. No wonder, back in Malaysia, I would see Chinese men wearing jacket/coat.

Back to Qufu, I reached the small town around noon. It's a busy town. I was very excited to see Confusius birthplace. I was told that it's a town within a town. In the middle of the town, there would be a fortress and his house, temple and mouseleum lie within the fortress. There are no personal cars inside the fortress, only those authorised vehicles are allowed within. So, wherever you go in the town, u would get the glimpse of the fortress. Best still, the famous Emperor Qing Long of the Ch'ng dynasty always stepped foot here so as to pay homage to the great teachers. He would always dined at his home and his favourite dish was........ fried taugeh with dried shrimps. The story was that he was fed up with the usual lavish dishes that he always had that he asked the family cook what other dish which has not been served. The cook got angry and so he took a bunch of beansprouts (taugeh) and fried them with dried shrimps, which is the food for the workers. The Emperor loved this dish so much and thus every time he came to Qufu, he would request this dish to be served.

Even the town is old, but one can see a lot of modern facilities here. Hahaha I even found a machine which polish shoes. The first place, I went is to pay homage to the great teacher Confusius at his temple. Since cars are not allowed inside, I have to take the local trams.

The first stop is the temple for Confusius. There are 3 walking paths leading to his temple. In the photo on the left, I was sitting at the path meant for the Emperors hahaha... cool right. Imagine, sitting on the path where the Emperors of China set foot.

The temple house a lot of pillars which would have dragons carved on them. It was considered wrong to have pillars carved with dragons as they were meant only for the Emperors palace. So, whoever did this would face death. However, the Emperors of China considered him to be a superior teacher, thus, his family was allowed to have these pillars. It was said that the family's first son is considered to be the first grade officer, second to the Emperor, thus his words were the words of the Emperor.

Next stop, was his family's first son house. which was very near to the temple. Only the first son of the family can stay here. I was told this descendents still live on today, which is his 76th descendents. One is a professor teaching in a university in Beijing and another is in Taiwan. The last place was his mouseleum. It housed 3600 of his offsprings. Our guide didn't bring us there as that place was vast and there were some old members in our groups.

We checked into our hotel which is a 4 star hotel. Surprisingly, it is a double storey building. The lobby is huge but the room is small. I never like it here as it looked so depress. What to expect as the surrounding buildings are built from ancient times. Many anguishes, tensions can still be felt here.







This is also the first place I found my first gold coin and the first glimpse of the the original graphic paper cutting.


Anyway, I stayed only a day in Qufu, woke up around 4 and by 6 am on my way to Jinan International Airport which was a 4 hours drive from Qufu to catch a flight to Beijing, my last stop.
