'Beh Tahan Girls' is back in Town!!

The Bak Kut Teh Shop (Behind Klang Parade)

Remember Doris? The girl that i went to Bali with?? Guess what..SHE IS BACK IN TOWN!!! *gasp* *banging head against the wall* She is now visiting Klang so often that i'm getting sick of her..*HAHA* I told her that it is time for her to shift down to Klang as she is missing us so much..guess what..and she might do that..

She was here around the end of October, she wanted to get her Louis Vuitton bag fix as it is still under warranty. we had our breakfast in Klang, non other than the famous Bak kut Teh. Im telling you, this must be the cleanest, most organize and moden Bak Kut Teh shop out there. We ordered a claypot bak kut teh and a dry bak kut teh. As usual, Samantha will have to prepare the tea for us. Bak Kut Teh tea making is her specialty man....

What a show off - She's actually concentrating not to spill the tea..haha

Samantha showing off her Tea-making skills

The modern Water flask - no more messy charcoal style kettle

Peace! I don't eat pig!

The food is good. Not that oily, the soup is quite clear and you can still taste the herbs in the soup. It's so clean, normally, if you order claypot bak kut teh, they will just serve boiling hot and later it was left to cool. But this shop is different, they provide you a small little stove to keep your meal warm. Nice place to hang out...even they take orders in english...ha!

Claypot still looks new

Yummy!!

Rice presentation also nice - Wah!!

After that we were on our way to KLCC, doing some window shopping and Samantha to have some coffee, but ther's no Coffee Bean at KLCC. So, we decided to go for San Francisco. Sigh..Doris is like so eager to treat us..so we let her la..Got us some coffee and a cheese cake.
How can it be Doris without some cam-whoring??!!??!

Caught in the Act! (cam-whoring again)

Samantha and Doris!

Doris and Me

Samantha and Me

something that i see in KLCC that is so unique

This one is also nice right?

Happily Ever After ??!!??!!

I guess the latest topic that everyone is talking are about marriage. Even my friends are blogging about this topic (refer to Canna). Maybe is because friends around my age are at a marriageable age, most of them are in the midst of planning to get prepared for the Year 2009.

There's one particular close friend of mine just got married in early September 2007. He has always been very good around girls and i know most of his more than a handful of partners. Most of them can't get along with me and another friend of mine because both of us are girls and it seems that a guy and a girl can't be 'just friends'. Girls around him are always insecure and objected him from meeting us, not even a simple lunch. The worst part is, he always try to please them until a day that he explode. Is this really 'LOVE' that everyone is talking about?

The big question is 'WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE GET MARRIED'? I have friends that are married already. Most of them don't practice safe sex and accidentally got pregnant, which have ruin their life and have no options but stop furthering studies and be a housewife. I'm not saying that being a housewife is bad, it's that..you are only 21 years old. There are so many things ahead of you to look forward to, to explore, to learn and to experience.

Some people get married just for the sake of wanting to get married. Some because other friends are getting married, so they don't want to lose out and plan for a marriage, some wanted it for their 21st birthday present. Is it because of LOVE the main reason for marriage? i don't think so! It's like a Rat Race out there, people comparing on the total guest they have invited, location of their wedding dinner, wedding pictures, wedding bands, the date that they are getting married, the reception, the car escort, even their husband are being compared. It's never-ending.

I feel is more like a fashion trend, marriage is no longer taken seriously. Wedding bands are like 'Accessories' to show off to friends. It does not symbolizes anything significant to anyone anymore. Is LOVE the main reason for marriage? Or is it just lust and desire? A Fashion Trend? Is it the personality of the partner the main factor? What about compatibility? I wonder myself. LOVE is so overrated, i guess there won't be any specific answer to my questions.

Marriage is no longer about 'I-want-to-grow-old-with-you' or 'i-want-to-have-beautiful-kids-with-you'. It's like what you see in Hollywood, people get married and divorce so frequently and easily. I guess normal people like us won't be handle so many marriages that ends with 'irreconcilable differences'. That is the most common statement or i can say 'reasons' that the Hollywood Artistes use to file for any divorce.

Why are the divorce rates are getting higher by the days? The more civilized we become, the more ignorant we become. What if it involves kids? What will happen to them? Sigh! People can be so selfish nowadays. Who is it to blame? The television (Haha)!' Always blame the westerner for bad influences. Our upbringing? Or people just don't really care anymore? If people don't take marriage seriously, the why in the first place people get married anyway? I just don't understand people nowadays.

It is not a 'Game' or something that you can play around with. People always say that marriage is about 2 person. Lovers always say that it is about 'You and Me', unfortunately, it is not only about 2 person but it is more than that. When you are married, not only you are married to the person that you love but you are also 'married' into his/her family. Decisions made, are no longer for 2 person. It involves each and every member of the family around you. I may be wrong, but this is what i think after listening and seeing some problems that people face.

I was watching this movie 'Shall we Dance' i don't know about how many thousand time. There's this particular dialog and caught my attention. As i say ah..most of my friends are getting married, so i just want to share the excerpt with everyone that is married or getting married. I feel it is quite true what 'Susan Sarandon' had said in this scene. She had hired a private investigator to check on her husband (Richard Gere) who she suspects was having an affair. But later found out that he was actually out taking dancing lessons. The private investigator told that he is going for a dancing competition and she said she want to be there to witness it. The private investigator was shocked, and he asked why are you doing this?

She answered:

"Why is it do you think people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, what does anyone life really mean? But in a marriage, you are promising to care about everything. The GOOD things, the BAD things, the MUNDANE things, ALL OF IT, EVERYTIME, EVERYDAY. You are saying, your life will not go unnoticed, because i will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed, because i will be your witness."

I really like what she said, it gives me a different perspective of marriage. I guess her statement said it all. The most important thing is that you want your life partner to know each and everything about you, what you do, your dreams and share your life experiences.

I Need H-E-L-P

SCOPE BOLEH! (Yea Rite!)

SCOPE BOLEH! It is the motto of our company. We are never that driven or excited as each time we are forced to shout out these words during any of our company's gathering. However, for the last 2 years i am with my current company. We have been sent twice to an off site, never fail that it's the ritual of any company trip (we call it Team Building, supposing to aspire and motivate us to work as a team la) we are forced to shout 'Scope Boleh' with passion. Anyway, Last September from the 7th till the 9th, we were at D'Ark, Janda Baik. When we reach, we were sent straight for classroom training...i remember it was already 12 midnight.

Before this we have been divided in groups and we are suppose to choose a leader, come up with a battle cry and think of a theme for our performance night. Leader have been chosen, our group name was 'BUMBLEBEE'. This is how our battle cry goes.

Float Like a Butterfly,

Sting Like a Bee,

That's Who We Are,

The BUMBLEBEE!

On the 1st night...our leader was taken away and we have to look for clues that leads us to our missing leader. Sort of like treasure hunt la. We were the 2nd team to complete our 'rescue mission'. We did had a great time running around, solving clues and getting to our destination. The place we stayed is very cooling at night, so we don't need air conditioner. Not much mosquitoes also, but scary la walking at night, surrounded by trees and only trees..hehe.

The 1st days we were quite tensed and stessed out because we were forced to talk about problems that we faced at work. Mostly sensitive issues, with colleagues and superiors. Anyway, we got through that despite being trashed by our Boss. We have to come with this critical plan to improve our team's workflow and progress.

After that was over..we just have fun. Barbeque, performance, games and karaoke, hehe. Our theme for the night was 'Heroes Lost In The Jungle'. So, obviously our performance is based on the theme. I was cast as the 'Selamba Woman' haha. A Superhero with no super powers. It was all fun and we had a good laugh. Overall our group Bumblebee had won 2nd place. Not bad eh!

BALI...AGAIN?!??!!!

I CAN'T HELP IT...I STILL LOVE BALI..Who wants to go there again with me? I'm sure Doris is the 1st one that will join me again. Canna, i know..we were talking about Krabi and a local trip..but i still wanna go to Bali..AGAIN. Things to do : SAVE MONEY, SAVE MORE MONEY, BONUS? SIGH!!

Continuation from my previous blog, i have only covered 1 day of my 8 days trip. There's so many things i want to share about my experience in Bali. I love everything about Bali- people, food, beach, sightseeing, shopping and more shopping. Not to forget the beautiful sunsets and scenery.

Day 2
1st destination : Taman Ayun Temple

Besakih Temple is the biggest temple in Bali, well...Taman Ayun is the 2nd largest in Bali, We are not allowed in the compound of the Temple, but we were to get a glimpse of the Temple around it. It was really hot that day tha ti had sunburn, so we didn't spend too much time there. We just want to make sure that we had enough time to visit the other places that we have planned to go on that day.


Entrance of Taman Ayu Temple. As usual la..the 'Beh Tahan Girls' is at it again!!


Inside the compound of Taman Ayun





2nd destination: Lake Beratan Temple and Alas Kedaton

The temple looks like it is build on a small compound or can i say 'island' on a lake. I feel is nothing special...but it is worth the visit since we were on the way to Alas Kedaton ... There's lots and lots of monkey lingering around at Alas Kedaton (Monkey forest ma..sure la lots of monkey la..hehe)..and they are friendly monkeys..not like those at Uluwatu. They snatch your hairpins, sunglasses, glasses, purses and things that they see is shiny. Scary.





Lake Beratan

I'm not sure what is this place called..shit... but i know we took a few good pictures here..hehe
It's definitely at Bedugul area..just don't remember the park's name. Sigh.







Peekaboo!!!

3rd destination: Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot is at its most beautiful is during sunset. Tours available in Tanah Lot is usually held towards the evening. When we went over, it was a low tide so we were able to go near the tanah lot. We went was towards the evening but we didn't stay for the sunset. We took loads of picture..definitely..hehe


The Magnificent Tanah Lot




Saw us at the background? Tanah Lot Sunset, remarkable isn't it?

Day 3

In the morning, we went shopping at Factory outlet store. You can buy surf wear and swimwear mainly brands of Roxy, Billabong and Quicksilver for a very low price. Out Tour guide Made said he will take us to a place not many people been before. We were not really keen with the idea but we just went along with it. He say that it will be a surprise for us. Im so glad that he took us there. We had a blast and we had a near tsunami experience, it doesn;t sound that bad. i didn't realise that my camera is on video mode and i manage to capture the whole event and hoo-haa on my cam. I called it my Ala Blair Witch Project Video AKA Tsunami Video. The place that we went was called water blow at Nusa Dua.

We were soaking wet after that incident...we were still so excited that we plan on the next few days to go back to the water blow again, this time better prepared. Bring some extra clothes lo..hehe..We ran and laugh so much..it is the most exciting place we have been to in Bali..Too bad the file is too large that i can't manage to upload it for you guys to enjoy.



We are all soak wet!!


Water Blow At Nusa Dua..

Later in the afternoon, we requested to our tour guide to bring us to the best local delicacy and must be economical. Guess what, he brought us to eat "Babi Guling". It consist all all the parts and organs of the pork, from it's skin to the meat. Yummy..a must try when you visit Bali.



Babi Guling



GWK

After lunch we went straight to GWK (pronounced as Geweka). it is really nothing much there..mostly huge statues. Our last destination was to Uluwatu where we waitied till evening for the sunset and later to watch the Kecak Dance which is also known as the Fire Dance.

What a sight!!

The very next day we went on a shopping spree down Legian Street. Definitely we went to Hard Rock Cafe, where Doris and Samantha shop till they drop..i mean literally..haha. We also went over to Legian beach, rent 4 lazy chairs and we were sun-tanning. As you can see, the others were not tanned after 3 hours of laying under the sun. For me?? My god..i look like charcoal..my face..black black..and i have tanned line on my chest, my arms and my legs..ugly man...

To pamper ourselves more...we had our nails painted..only RM10 for both the hands and legs and also we had our hair braided..hehehe...how can we go the a beach area without being a hippie ourselves eh...We did pamper ourselves to the max..Spa and cigarrettes, Beer, Chips and of course Cup noodles..hehe..


We did had loads of fun and good memories..i wish i could go back to visit Bali in the near future..i miss having fun with Samantha, Doris and my cousin..Our next destination...Siam Reap Cambodia...here we come!!!!

Thursday Game Day!!

My Boss have come up with this idea out of the blue. That every Thurday, from 5.00 to 5.30 pm, a group of people will come up with some activities that will involve the whole team. We had a meeting and we are separated into 5 groups. My group have not come up with our group name, but it's definitely going to be some funny name that Tetty is going to come out with. Tetty is my colleague and also my cubicle mate. We sit beside each other at work.


So, last thursday was our first activity, they name their group Masala Tasai Group. If you have Mugin in your group, Definitely your group name will be named after some kind of Food! i Remember last year when we were a group for our Team Building, he named our group 'Hacks', YES, as in the sweet Hacks.


Everyone was required to wear a balck top on that day, if not they will be punishment for those who did not follow the rules. The punishment - to be a coffee man/lady for a day, hehe! That particular person have to serve everyone in the team whatever drinks that is requested. That would be fun right, sserving your colleagues coffee and tea..hehe.. That particular day was named Janggut Day! I was wondering what kind of weird game Mugin's team have come up with. Maybe we would have to wear a janggut or something.


By 5.00 pm we were called into the meeting room. Tables and chairs were pushed to the edge leaving an empty space in the middle, with a red line as a starting point right at the end opposite the whiteboard. The game is something like this, Each person in the team will have to be blindfolded, and the team members will direct the blindfolded person to the whiteboard where..surprise- the pictures of our managers were posted and we are required to draw a 'Janggut'. We did had lots of fun.


Sigh, i have been molested that day, the worst part is - everyone in my team saw it. So embarassing, oe of my colleague has been blindfolded and when she riase her hands up and try to feel around, her hands coincidently reached for my boobies..yikes..luckily that was not caught on picture..hehe..


here's some picture..enjoy..
