Are you afraid of a CHANGE???

CHANGE. I am always afraid of a 'change'. From Kindergarten to Primary school, i fear of new environment, new teachers, making new friends (if i happen to meet any) everything new and foreign gives me the chills down my spine.

My transition from primary school to secondary school and from secondary to varsity, finally after that i venture into the working society has never been a pleasant one. My biggest fear was directly after my graduation. I realised that i have to get myself a JOB! Not just any job, but a job that pays me well, provides good benefits, future development and a bright perspective for further enhancement.

We always hear people say 'get a jon with a MNC (Multi National Corporation)'. So, that's is mostly what i get from 'older' people, hence, that is how i start my job hunting. Hunting down MNCs. Writing resume to any MNC that i could think of or came-across from newspaper ads. Waiting for 'the one' that could give me a call for an interview. The wait is painful, i felt like dying, waiting to die la!

For more than 3 months i went from interviews to interviews. It left me with nothing but more miserable and disappointment. I felt useless and demotivated. I was at the verge of giving, what i did after that? I decline all interviews after that. Yup! How stupid of me!

I remember one of the interviewers' asked 'Where are you from?'. 'I'm from Klang.' I answered. The interviewer gace remarks that I'm staying very far, asking me how long i need to travel and so on. I naively answered and emphasize that travelling is not a problem for me as i have been studying in KL and travelling is normal to me. I was kinda used to it. The interviewer was not happy with my answer and hit me back 'That is what everyone would say, Initially they will be OK with it. When they get the job and after working for some time, they will start to compain. Eventually they will leave the organisation. I was dumbfounded!

What did the interviewer mean by 'they'? Klang people perhaps? Why judge me when you have not worked with me before? Yes, i was a fresh graduate then, furthermore there are so many unemployed grads out there. Don't you think i will grab hold of any job that i can get my hands on? I just want a job to gain experience, doing what i love would be a plus. It will take time and i need time to figure out what i really like to do. But i don't think i will be so stupid to give up a job because of distance. I can always shift out and live some where nearer to work. I can CHANGE my routine, my lifestyle, whatever. Some sacrifices have to be made right?

My father saw me getting demovitated by the day, and finally, i broke down. I cried and i refuse to attend to anymore interviews. So, my dad told me, i should just go to as many interviews as i can. He said, he won't be surprise that when finally one calls back, another one will follow. Then i have another issue to worry about. That is more crucial as i will have to make the decision on which organization that i should aceept.

Well, i did get calls from 2 prestigious oorganization. It was not all that difficult to choose. Why did i say that, because i have one call from a Government body which is MIDA (Malaysia Industrial Development Authority) which i turned down because they are only offering a contractual position. So, i accepted the offer as a Graduate Trainee at Scope International a wholly subsidary of Standard Chartered UK where i am still currently working.

Change at work is a norm thing, i was transfered from a team to the team that i am with right now. Initially, i was really reluctant to be transfered, finding all excuses that i can come up with, hoping that i can stay with my old team. I talked to my parents, to my superiors and also to my other colleagues. All seem to be quite supportive and encouraging me that this 'change' is a good chance. I was thinking..a good chance for what?

I was told that the team that i will be joining is better. Serving a foreign country, better market, learning new things and in future the experience will be in demand. But i was worried and most of all i felt really scared. Scared of being in a new team, in a new team means i will have new team mates, means working with new people that you won't know if you could get along with, new conflicts, new boss, new procedures, new everything. Which truthfully, i was not ready for.

I have to start from ZERO again, which is also the main reason why i was afraid. I was not confident that i would learn everything fast, or not fast enough and they would judge me on how i absorb things that are thrown to me. I was afraid that i would make mistake which eventually cause the company millions which will puncture my self-esteem and directly affect my performance, which indirectly will affect my BONUS! Yea, i was thinking of money...who doesn't?

I was confident before when i was with my old team. I can do well, get good ratings and i am not sure why i was thinking too much that i could not make it. I pick up the courage and confront my superior, i asked 'Why of so many people that i was chosen to be transfered?' My superior was quite put off by my question, saying that 'Why is everyone so afraid to change? i am giving you an opportunity to learn more, to improve, to broaden your horizon . Why is it so difficult?'. Then i was thinking, It is right. Why am i trying to deny the fact that i am given the chance to improve myself, to learn a new product. If i learn this and do well in it, i am already 1 up compared to the others. Most people requested for a transfer and got declined.

Why am i talking about this at this moment that happen nearly a year ago. Because i have read this book written by Dr. Spencer Johnson titled 'Who moved my cheese?'. It is a fairly simple and straight forward book and is easy to read. After reading it, it triggers this moment that i have faced a year ago and how it had changed me and the way i think.

The book is so general that it applies to anything that you are facing in life. Be it about work or about your life, your relationship even your family. It talks about change and transition in life, and if i would have come across this book earlier. I think i would have learned to embrace and welcome any change that i should make in my life. I know i would have taken a different approach and accept the challenge and try new things that motivates me to be better in anything that i do.

I remember telling my superior that i have not learned the full cycle of my current job and i am not ready to be transfered. I am strating to get comfortable with the work and people that i worked with. That is where my superior caught me and emphasizes that 'That is my purpose, we don't want you to get too comfortable. It could lead to a problem when you get too comfortable with anything. You have to be more versatile'.

Damn it, why didn't i see it in the firsst place. I was given the most valuable opportunity that will never come my way again and i was about to throw it down the drain. When i read the book, i was like,...Hey....that was me, i was resisting to change. I was exactly like one of the 'Littlepeople' that is described in the book that over-analyzes every detail and fear for the worst that will happen if i really change.

I would love to share the story, but then it will make this entry a little draggy (well, it is getting draggy anyway) I will just share it briefly, It is talking about 4 characters namely 'Sniff and Scurry' the mice and 'Hem and Haw' the Littlepeople. 4 of them were placed in a maze and see which one of them survive in the search of the ultimately goal which is the 'cheese'. Cheese here depicts the most important thing that you want in life 'success, fame, money, glory, love, promotion..you name it. Whatever it is, it should represented your goal in life.

Each character have their uniqus characteristics. 'Sniff' represents a person who sniffs out the change early and work towards it. 'Scurry' represents the person ho scurries into action, it means it accepts changes and works on it. However, 'Hem' is the one that denies and resist change as it fears it will lead to something worst. 'Haw' is the one who learns to adapt in time when he sees changing can lead to something better.

I would say that i am 'Haw' in this situationas i did succumb to changes when i can see it will lead me to something way better which it did :) But i am getting too comfortable now and that makes me a little worry. I am afraid that i will return to be like before, afraid that i will be too comfortable to change or to leave for something better.

Recently, i was thinking of a change. It is kind of boring and routine now. But one of my biggest fear is going back for interviews again, convincing my suppose future employer how good i am or how hardworking i am and how capable i am. Furthermore, if i need to change job, i need to have money le, i need to buy new formal attire as my company right now does not require me to dress formally, only casual. Sigh!! What say you? Do you think it is time for me to change? Or have i went back to square one?

I'm Miserable!!

Sigh!!!! Not a good start at the beginning of my entry today... I'm going to say SIGH!!!!!! again. Why am i upset? Because i am sick in bed and Colbie Caillat is in town!! She is having a showcase at The Laundry Bar!!! I guess it will be over by now.

Damn it!! They don't even sell the tickets. Strictly for invitations only or you could win the tickets. I don't have much luck on lucky draws and competition, so forget about winning tickets to see Colbie Caillat in person. She can't held a concert for now because she only have one album. She is one of my favourite singer, after Elliot Yamin of course.

And there is Luther Vandross, Will Downing, Micheal Buble, Celine Dion ( She concert in Malaysia is in April*gasp*) Who else? Can't think of any more. Definitely like songs that are easy to listen to, easy to sing along. Yes, i love jazz! Sigh!! Why can't we have big events like Jakarta Jazz Festival. All we get is Jazz festival that invites crappy singers that don't even sing jazz...just some gibberish chanting and it sounded more like rock music than jazz. Jamming with their instruments instead of like 'jazzing' HAHA with their instruments.

Anyway, this entry is about Colbie. So, i would like to share some of Colbie's songs that i fell in love with. First was the song that made her famous which is called "BUBBLY". I guess all of you should know by now! Really soothing and easy to listen to. Makes you feel nice and warm inside :) All her songs in the self- titled Album called COCO makes you feel this way. The 2nd song i fell in love with is definitely OXYGEN!!! Highly recommended by me! REALIZE is also nice, MAGIC also nice, MISTLETOE also nice..ok ok..all also nice. Listen to music better! Enjoy!









I'm Sick!

I'm at home today, not feeling well since yesterday evening. After work yesterday i felt so lousy and i had fever last night, but i was too tired to get to the clinic. So, i went straight to bed and decided to go to the doctors the next day.

I woke up early, try to sms my boss to let him know..but my message could not go through.. Then i sms my colleague, also could not go through.. Then i found out that my line got barred because my dad had forgotten to pay the bills. Sigh, of all dyas that my phone would go wrong. I manage to call in using my house phone..hehe!! Lazy la..have to walk all the downstairs. Sick ma!

At mid afternoon only i got my ass into the clinic. Been purging the whole morning and my legs are weak, my tummy hurts, my head hurts and now..after all the toilet visits..my ass hurts.
Now one roll of toilet paper also not enough.. Better use the water, easier also, hehe..

OK i know...too much info!

Anyway, by the time i went to the clinic, my fever seems lower. Then the doctor explains. "Yesterday, you had viral fever. That's why you don't have a fever now" She checks my throat and diagnose that i have acute tonsillitis (still in early stage), so that is why i got the viral fever. So, viral fever is just a sign that i am getting sick la. Then the doctor continues-

"So, you have to be careful now. After this viral fever and you could be ok for a few days, but the real problem will start to kick in. This is where the bacteria takes over your body and you will actually have Bacteria Fever"

Wow, I'm going to be sick again in the next few days.. Every time when i have Fever! It is because of my tonsils! Now i am going to have fever... and sore throat!! Yahoo!!! I am a very sick person. Sigh...I'm going to 'Lau Sai' again now... I'm serious!!! I'm really sick!!!

I'm procastinating on my trip to Malacca. It will be up soon i hope..Hehe!!

Spoilt Brat!!!!!!!

Most mornings when i drive to work, i will usually tune to Hitz.fm, really enjoy the Rudy and Jay Jay jokes and laughter. Don't know what makes me switch to flyfm, it was the 'fix it' program that they have on. So, was curious on what the problem that fly guy is trying to 'fix', i listen on. A mother was having a misunderstanding with her son on getting a gift for his 21st birthday. I was like huh???!!!Birthday present from your parent also can become an issue? And they have to bring it up on air and requesting a 3rd party to solve this petty issue.

So, i was getting a little curious la. I listen on and found out that actually the mother wanted to get her son a car on his 21st birthday. He was so overjoyed by this and selected a car worth more than RM 100k. I was like...Wow, this family must be filthy rich to afford a car that price for a first car for their beloved son. If my parents were to get me a car, for me..any car will do because it is a gift from someone and we have no right to request for what type of car that we want unless they let us have an option.

The mother explains to him that she could not afford an expensive car, but he insisted. Of no choice the mother went to flyfm for help. Fly guy manage to get her son on phone and talked to him,probably he thought that his mom wanted to give him a good surprise or something. But the things he said makes me wanted to choke him. He said he wanted this car and that his mom promise him to get any car he wants. Fly guy asked him back 'your mom says that she is going to get you A CAR, but she did not emphasize any car right? Well, a young and immature guy he is, insisted that that is the one and only car that he would want to drive.

I just don't understand teenagers nowadays. They are becoming very materialistic. They don't think straight anymore. They don't consider people around them, they don't think of consequences or feasibility. What they want is what they only think about and they don't care what shit you have to go through to get them what they want to fulfil their material needs.No more rationality on teenagers nowadays.

Back to my story, so, when the son finally got the hint what the call purpose is. He got very angry, when they put his mother on the line to speak to him. He got all emotional and scolded his mom on air. Saying that she should not be doing this. She should have talked to him at home. When the mother say that she tried talking to him at home and he wouldn't listen and she was left with no other option but to seek for help. He shouted back that a promise is a promise and she should not make a promise if she could not fulfill it. Finally he got so pissed off and hung up!

My god!!! You do this to your own mother? Your mother bring you into this world and this is how you repay her? He shouted at her which is so so wrong. Hung up on your mother which is also very disrespectful. Furthermore, people lost respect to you especially your friends and family and also the other listeners that are listening. This guy is definitely 'No Use'! The Flyfm crew have to get him back on the phone and calm him down. I mean come on!!! All this havoc for a stupid car?How material things can break a family!! So So selfish of him!! They have to explain to him that his mother promise him to get a car for him. She is not denying that, but she can only afford a Malaysian Made Car. The first word that comes out from his mouth is 'No Way, No way am i going to drive a Malaysian Made Car!'.

What wrong with a Malaysian Made car? I am driving one and i am proud of it. As long as i get a car that can get to work and back safely is definitely a good car for me already. The son said that he has just graduated and his salary is not much and could not get a car of his own. So?? Why complain when you clearly know that you could not afford to get a car for yourself??i just couldn't understand him.

Fly guy have to explain to him that his mother is definitely getting him a car. Which he could not understand and keeps saying 'How you expect me to move around?' and 'How do you expect me to get to work with no car!' For God's sake! Your are more terrible that the 'Rugrats- Angelica! A Malaysian Made car is not a car meh? His mother is so upset, She must be so embarrassed of her son's behaviour. Fly guy finally have to use reverse psychology on him. Telling him that his mother is going to pay cash for the car and he does not have to worry about installments. He even advice him to work hard save money for the next 2 years. The money saved for 2 years he can trade in a car and buy a better for his own. Fly Guy even have to teach him that he can finally tell his friends that he himself bought the car with his own hard earned money, and not telling people that his mummy bought him the car. All i can say that he is a spoilt brat!

He said one thing that makes everyone hate him more! He even have the audacity to say ' If dad were still around, he will definitely bought me this car that i wanted most'! I was dumbfounded. How can you say such things to your mom in front of all Malaysian listeners? The DJ were so shocked that they told him straight that he don't have to be so mean. His mom was so disappointed that she have to say 'It is true, your dad is not here right now! It is only me right now, and this is only what i can afford for you at this moment'.

If i were his mother, i would give him one tight slap and throw him out of the house. Since you are so capable, try surviving by your own out there. Your Mother is a single parent and she is trying her very best to provide you with everything, and you have the nerve to say such things to her and further demand for something that your family could not afford or sustain! My dad can only afford to pay the down payment for my own car and have to pay the installments for my car for the next 7 years. I am already blessed that i have a car to drive. For him!!! His mother is buying him a car with cash and he don't need to even worry about paying anything!!! Some people just don't know how to appreciate good things that they already have!

I know this entry is confusing and messy and i don't care. I am just ranting and blabbing and and and and complaining and crapping because i am very very disturbed by this over-pampered-selfish-fool-ill-mannered-non-deserving-son-of-a-gun! There....I said it! I fell so better right now.

A Real Pain in the Ass!!!

My god, everyday i have been receiving calls from my credit card company. And it is driving me mad!If they were to call me another time, i will definitely scold that particular person calling me andi don't care if it's not the same person that called me.

They are distrupting my work, calling me at working hours and i have clearly told them that i willpay before the due for this month statement. i emphasize that they have already charge me a late payment fee and also finance charges. So, why keep bugging me when you have already charged me a fee?What's the difference if i pay it now or next week? It does not make any difference right?

They would say that my last month statement has already due. I said I KNOW!! that is why i saw a latepayment fee on my statement... I AM NOT STUPID!

I am very busy at work and it's hard for me to find time to get to the bank. Furthermore there isno car for me to use during the weekend because as you know my parents were in an accident and theother car is still in the workshop. Come on!!! Why offer me a credit card to use when i am not allowed drag the payment? Isn't that a purpose of having a credit card in the first place?
Checking back my records, which month that i have not paid? I always pay in full! I never pay partially,even if i missed a month, i make the next month i pay 2 months debt in full! I so wanted to shout atthe person that called me. I told you so many times and i won't want to repeat it again and again!

The bank is really testing my patience. They really employ some stupid people working there. Unneccessarilycharge me an annual fee when they have clearly stated that if i take 2 card which is a master and visawith them. In the end i was also charged the annual fee for both cards!! I was like what the fuck???

Then i have to call and ask for explaination! I was so pissed because the never bank never state anythingclearly. I was told that because both my cards are not from the same series that is why it is chargedthe annual fee! why in the first place when you approve my card you have never considered this? why after a year long only i have been notified? Why the hell i need 2 cards if i were to apply?

Stupid BANK!!

Lost in Cyber??

I registered last year as a voter to fulfill my responsibility as a responsible Rakyat. Feeling proud that i get to vote for the upcoming election and it would also be my first time voting :)

I went on the the SPR website to find out where my voting station is located. To my amaze, the result that i get is 'Data not found!' Ehhhh??? How come ah??? I registered last year already. how can they missed my application?

I wonder what went wrong, then my checked my mom's voting station, her record show's that she is voting at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Tinggi. *Scratching my head* My mom registered a month later than me. How come hers is recorded and not mine? We registered at the same Post Office but she registered one month after me?

So i took the pink slip that they gave me after registration to be a eligible voter to the voting station as i assume me and my mom should be placed at the same area. There was a BN booth set up with computers. So, i went there to query, they could not help me either. They say the only option that i have is to re-register the next time when they have the next General Election. I was like WHAT???!!! What if my application got lost again in the Cyber space?

The more i think, the more impossible it is. I understand if the mail got lost or undelivered. But for an online application to get lost or unrecorded?? It is pretty impossible right? It is just with a click of a button right? Then how come it will get lost leh????

Wasted 1 vote from me!

Election Campaign Gone Bad!

The election is on the 8th of March, it's just around the corner. Many candidates held talks at differnet venues to woo people to vote for them. This is where promises are made but most of them are not fulfilled. People are fed with hope and vision for abetter future but in the end, all of them are left dissapointed because none of the promises made before the election was followed through.

I was browsing the net and came across the article wrote by Raja Petra Kamarudin. He was witty on the first few paragraphs of his article and definitely got into the real deal in the end. Let me share a little of his joke

'There is a very old joke that once made its rounds around the time the D.P. Vijendran sex videotapes first exploded onto the scene. The joke went as follows:

Samy Vellu, S. Subramanian and Vijendran decided to have a boys' night out, complete with women and everything thrown in. They checked into the presidential suit of a five-star hotel and after dinner each adjourned to one of the attached bedrooms with the women they had 'booked' for the night. After the fun and games, when the women had gone home, they sat down for a nightcap and compared notes.

“How was your woman?” Subramaniam asked Samy.
“Not very good lah. My wife is better......How was yours?”
“Mine also not that good,” replied Subramaniam. “My wife is also better......And what about yours Vije?”
“Mine also not that exciting. But you are both right, your wives are certainly much better.”

Of course, this is just one of the countless off-colour jokes about those who walk in the corridors of power, in particular involving the MIC. If we compiled all the jokes ever told about Malaysian politicians, we would be able to publish a book, maybe in many volumes.'

Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK)

If there's such book were publish, i'm sure i'll be the first one buying it, haha! There's another joke mentioned by RPK, if you really want to read it. Just click on this link. I'm sure it will amuse you. the jokes he shared actually leads to the message that he really want to put it out there, which is to give a clearer picture to the Malaysian Indian on which party to vote. I wouldn't want to elaborate further(shh...i don't want to get into trouble with the ISA). But i will share a few excerpt that really hits me in the head, as we are not really aware that this is actually happening out there.
.
It all started when the campaign advertisment quote with red block letter 'IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR MIC THEN BE PREPARED TO PAY THE PRICE.....' it really sounds like a blackmail to me. This is why RPK urged the Malaysian Indians to listen to what he have to say
'It is time the Indians reclaim their dignity. It is time the Indians no longer allow themselves to be taken for granted. It is time the Indians realise that they need not succumb to threats and blackmail and that the Malays and Chinese will stand by them and defend them if they stand up for their rights.' By RPK
.
After reading this incident reported by RPK, i was very shock. I'm sure nobody knows about this. It's really an eye opener for me. This is my first year to be a part of the election, and it's really sad you have to find out certain things this way. The excerpt
'I remember 20 years ago when the Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry met Samy Vellu at the height of the mid-1980s recession. I was then a central committee member and we lamented about the lack of contracts and how many Malay businessmen were facing bankruptcy. Samy Vellu replied that he is already doing as much as he could by dishing out contracts to Malay companies.

“I am not a Minister for the Indian community,” replied Samy Vellu. “I am a minister for the Malays. I look after the Malays more than I look after the Indians. It is the Malays who vote me into office. Without the Malay votes I would not be in power. So I care more for the Malays than the Indians. What more do you want me to do?”

Samy Vellu uttered this most surprising declaration 20 years ago in front of more than 1,000 Malay businessmen. Ahmad Sebi Abu Bakar, then the CEO of TV3, agreed with what Samy Vellu said.

“We put him in JKR so that he can privatise all the projects to Umno. If we put a Malay as a Minister it would be very sensitive. With an Indian as a Minister the non-Malays cannot say anything.”' By RPK
.
Sigh, enough said read the whole article for yourself.

Road Trip to Hatyai on CNY 2

A simple road trip to Hatyai also have so many things to talk about eh? Or am i just talkative?Really Hatyai has changed a lot since the last time i was there. Roads are now converted to a one way street, just like Malacca has changed there roads to a one way street, miss one turn, die la..make one big round. They have their dedicated night market where the roads are closed down sharp 5 pm, exactly like Malacca's Jonker Walk lo. Such similarity, hehe.


On our last day in Hatyai, my parents decided to visit a temple nearby where we came across when we were on our way to Sathorn. We saw a huge statue of The Buddha and we just have to visit and give some offering before leaving back to Malaysia. How can you go to Thailand and not visit the temples?




We did our prayers, make some donations and had a chit chat with the care-taker of the Temple. She told us that it is a very new Temple and that it is still in building progress, The Pagoda is not fully completed. They still accept donation of roof tiles, where you can put down your name on the tiles and after some prayers, they will put it up on the top of the Pagoda.



Dad and Sis at the entrance of the Temple (saw my mom in the background?)


Mom and Sis with the Laughing Buddha


The Pagoda


The Statue that caught our attention

Most devotees would light up oil lamps in their names and make prayers. My dad did that and he have the honour to beat the gigantic drum as many times as he wants. Definitely a Chinese will choose an auspicious number which is either the number 8 or 9. So, my dad decided to beat the drum 9 times. 1st time for HAPPINESS, 2nd time for WEALTH, 3rd time for PROSPERITY, 4th time for LONGEVITY, 5th time for WORLD PEACE, 6th time for...ok, I'm making things up..anyway, definitely we will asked for blessings like this.


Dad with the drums

We also found out later that it is a monastery. It is a school for monks, where they learn Buddhist Theology. We saw so many young monks walking around just like we are at school, instead their uniforms are robes. We will definitely go back there when we visit Hatyai again.




Nice dragon Statues


Goddess of Mercy the Kuan Yin's Shrine ( Dad making his prayers)



Beautiful statue of Buddha sitting on clouds


Look at that row of Buddha statues. It is actually a cemetery, ashes of the cremated body of people's loved ones are place in the statue.


We head back to Danouk, and spend our last night there. Planning to leave after lunch the next day, because i don't really like night driving. Lucky my sister came along as 3 of us can rotate driving when one is tired, not so strenuous. We booked a Hotel room with 2 queen size bed, enough room for all of us. Then we head straight down for dinner and hunting for some exotic food.


Then some big and huge with a long nose caught our attention. Yes, Elephant. a lot of people gather around the elephant and it's owner selling sugarcanes for people who wants to feed it. My dad bought one and start feeding the elephant. Me and my sister was like standing aside and was like ewww... we were at A'formosa resort for their animal parade and have this unforgettable encounter with an elephant made us traumatize. Oh, the wet wet trunk and the rough rough skin..ugghh..gives me the creeps now.



Dad feeding the elephant



Sis, trying to overcome her fear of the elephant's wet drool..



We made her touch the elephant (see how far she is standing away from the elephant)



Same goes for my Mom, only 2 fingers touching



Oh yea, for safety precaution. Saw that small red thing at the elephant's tail. Yea, that's their small precaution sign put on a huge elephant's rear end.

Enough about elephants, Let's focus on food!! Oh, how can i miss this delicacy. It's a must when you are in Thailand. Initially, i told my sister. It is very nice, taste like peanut. Salty, crunchy and sweet(i blog about it last year, Here's the link)... How long have we persuade her! She keeps insisting, No, don't force me to eat stuffs like these, i don't eat stuff like these. In the end, she ate it also. Guess what, she loves it too... She finish most of it actually. Told her it is nice, she ends up believing me..haha. I definitely recommend it, it's yummy.



This is one of my favourite, the bamboo worm



This is also nice, the silk worm



This batch of crickets is too huge for my liking. I prefer the smaller ones



I dare not try this, someone needs to force me to try it..you dare or not? Eat cockroach!

I also don't have the courage to try this, grasshopper.

Don't know why, whenever we visit Thailand, we usually end up in 7-eleven buying tid-bits. Which we can never find in the Malaysia's 7-eleven. Assorted berry Mentos, Gummi Bears, Mentos Gum, Dentyne gum is so damn cheap. My sister found think drink in 7-eleven and we thought of experimenting it, to see it actually works or not.


It's a collagen drink, it actually makes your skin looks supple and vibrant and smooth, so it seems. No harm trying right? Let my sis be the guinea pig la, hehe!



Before drinking the product
