Thoughts of the week
It has been almost 3 weeks since I joined this position. I can see things more clearer now, such as the general working environment and culture, get to understand my colleagues better, who are those you can't mess with, or those that I mingle around well, and the challenges installed for me along the way. Workload has definitely starting to pile up one by one, and the real challenge is yet to come. So I guess it is not that easy after all working as account management, just gotta make it work! ^.^
On the other hand, I was able to watch "2012" yesterday night in MidValley. What a spectacular production of Roland Emmerich, who is also the producer and director of my other favorite disaster-themed movies, "The Day After Tomorrow" as well as "Independence Day". Folks, just make sure you guys don't miss out this movie, two thumbs up for this masterpiece! :) Oh ya, just remember to purchase your tickets online if possible coz you wouldn't want to join the other crowd in the super long queue =.="
Going to have a short road trip tomorrow to Port Dickson. Ya, I know is kinda lame and boring, but who cares. As long as I get my replacement leave, nothing else matters :P So, sunshine and beach, here I come!
p/s: Does green tea helps to reduce weight?

I got seduced afterall...
Anyway, I'm sure by now at least a quarter of the nation has logged into AirAsia's website to check out the latest FREE SEATS sale, and I'm one of the millions who did that of course! And with so many time and patience sacrificed, taaaaaa daaaahhh, I'm one of the proud customers who managed to grab the super cheap flight to Bandung, Indonesia for only RM45 per pax for a return flight which includes airport tax in Malaysia as well as the baggage fees (You only pay Indonesia airport tax on the spot when you are there). It's sooooooooo cheap lo seriously. So isn't it something to celebrate for?
Wait a minute, didn't I actually mentioned that I would love to go to Taipei? Well, apparently their sale fare to Taipei isn't that significantly cheaper from their usual fare, plus the timing to Taipei isn't the best, so we opt for our next best option, which is Bandung. (So now I can have more budget for my netbook too, isn't it? :P)

Mind you, AirAsia has started to impose another fee called "convenience fee" (Weird name to me tho, sounds just like the DaiEeLong's "protection fee", just that it's AirAsia's version :P). This fee is imposed to customers who pay their flight tickets using credit card, and if I'm not mistaken it costs about RM5 per pax per way. So even though AirAsia has abolished the fuel surcharge and admin fees, Uncle Tony isn't that dumb to let his business earns nothing. If you haven't realise , the baggage fee for a normal weight of not more than 15kg baggage has also increased to RM10 from the previous RM5. So afterall they are trying to cover the loss of admin fees by charging the customers this and that. For me it is totally fair, as long as the customers are well notified with such charges and increments.
By now I think half of the million seats offered should be snapped up already. So if you haven't grab your seats yet, please do so RIGHT NOW or else you will have to wait for the next free seat sale, which I think should be 6 months from now.
That's all for today, signing out!
p/s: Yesterday I got poisoned again by the touch of those elegant netbooks... Arghhh!

Seduction Version2.0
I thought the seduction wouldn't come back that soon as the last incident happened back in 6 months ago. Unfortunately, it is BACK!!! And it never tastes that good before!
Dang
Dang
DAAAAAANNGGG!

So ladies and gentlemen, AirAsia FREE SEATS sale is back, again! As what I saw in the Redalert email sent by them, one-way all-in airfare to Taipei would only cost RM99!!! Holy shit! Is THAT cheap lo... Damn! How one could resists such offer???
It looks like my plan to buy a brand new netbook (The mouth-watering Asus Eee PC... Arghh!) is hanging on the thread again as I would have to save up a sum of money for the trip. Maybe I should get a second hand netbook instead, or maybe I should start to eat plain white bread and drink plain water during lunch time, or even no more movie outings or DotA sessions at cybercafé in the coming months… >.<
By now you should be busy checking your coming schedule with your family or buddies for coming holiday. If not I’m sure you would miss out the opportunity of getting the right flight at the right time.
So, are you ready for the sale?
p/s: Netbook ohh netbook, you seems so close yet so far to me, haiz!

太平(三)之太平湖篇
若你嫌太平的po太多,那很不好意思,因为接下来还是要和大家分享更多关于有关太平的东西,哈哈!
去过太平的人都应该不会错过太平湖a.k.a Taman Tasik Taiping a.k.a Taiping Lake Gardens吧?很庆幸自己没有被当初的懒散而错过此地方(因为有空闲时老子都只在房间里Dota-ing!),因为太平湖算是目前为止我到过最漂亮的湖泊公园。这里的风景如诗入画、山清水秀、江山如画、青山绿水、诗情画意、花红柳绿。。。。。。。。。。。实属难得的美景啊!也难怪每到傍晚时份都能看见男女老幼到此散散步、谈谈情,一家大小共享天伦之乐。听说在周末是更加多人,因为不少外坡的旅客都会到这儿游玩。这地方那么红,也不是没有道理的。
太平湖真的非常大哦,应该有5各足球场那么大吧?所以若你想要绕着湖边慢走一圈,恐怕也得花上一定的时间和体力。所以常来这里运动的人体力应该非常好咯?
好啦,废话不多说,就让照片来告诉你一切吧!
太平之旅篇终于告一段落了。所以接下来不知道该写什么才好,哈哈!

p/s: 期待12月PC Fair的到来

太平 (二)
继上一篇...
2. 天气篇
说到太平,第一件联想到的肯定是它超多雨量的天气。果然百闻不如一见,在太平的三个星期里没有一天是不下雨的!我没夸大,是真的!轻则一天一次,重则一天三次,就好像早午晚餐一样哦!所以太平的天气是非常凉爽的,夜晚睡觉的时候不开风扇也觉得非常冷!
但最可怕的并不在于这点,因为最可怕的就是必须在明天的早晨来个超级冷水澡!!!搞得老子每天早上都伤风和打冷颤 @.@ 所以每次冲凉的时候,脑海里都会记住这句话:"吃的苦中苦,方位人上人"
3. 住宿篇
除了食堂的食物难吃得惊人之外, 在太平的住宿一点也不逊色。房间小得可怜不在话下, 床褥更是异味重重, 感觉有点像是臭汗酸的味道, 所以在第一夜的时候是经过一番的挣扎和努力才成功得催眠自己入睡。除此以外,蟑螂、蚂蚁和壁虎更是房间里的常客,所以可想而知房间里到底有多恐怖了吗?
4. 爬山篇
既然来到了太平,当然不能错过闻名已久的Maxwell Hill a.k.a Bukit Larut啦!虽然当初对这活动没什么兴趣,但它总算是一个很不错的经验。大伙儿一大清早就开始集合了,做了简单的暖身操以后,我们便步行到Maxwell Hill去。整个路程从山脚一直到山顶长达10公里左右,可是走不到500米的时候心里就已经开始后悔了,因为已经可以开始感觉到斜坡所带来的疲惫和艰辛 @.@ 不过既来之,则安之,最后还是硬着头皮撑着走。
刚开始一大班的年轻人还有说有笑,但这愉快的画面只维持大概一个小时左右而已,因为接下来的路程只听见你我他的喘气声,当然也少不了一些求救声咯!哈哈!我想那个时候大家的心里肯定非常后悔平时没有做运动的好习惯,也觉得非常的惭愧。为什么勒?因为上山的途中都会发现许多中年人士也在此运动,而且脚步轻快,好像一点也难不到他们似的。你说该不该觉得惭愧呢?:P
在途中我们有机会遇到三位中年男子在半山自建的亭子里休息。经过简单的问候和寒暄发现他们都有每天到这儿聚集的习惯。除了在这里和老友聚集之外,他们还充分地利用超级干净的山水来泡茶,多么会享受他们的人生啊! 不过话说回来, 这里的山水还真的非常干净, 凭着肉眼是完全看不出任何的渣滓在里面, 自己本身也忍不住装了两瓶来喝, 嘻嘻!
经过了二二四个小时不停的奋斗和努力后,“林北”终于到了山顶。虽然Maxwell Hill的高度只有区区的1000公尺左右,可是山上的温度非常凉爽,不时还可在雾中漫步,算是挺“诗情画意”的,哈哈!不过这座山害人真不浅,搞得大家累到不像话,再加上想到等一下还得步行下山,双脚差点要撞墙自杀了!=.="' 下到山脚是已经是傍晚的时候了, 那个时候的脚不再是属于本少爷的, 完全不由我控制的在步行, 真是有够累!
三个星期的课程说长不长, 说短它一点也不算短. 不过能够在这里和一大班的同事们相处算是很不错的经验. 希望下一次依然有机会去更加好玩的, 当然住宿和食物必须改进啦, 要不然的话患上厌食症是迟早的事罢了,哈哈!
p/s: 最近好像身怀六甲的, 看来是时候减肥咯! :(

太平之食物篇
现在是时候和大家分享这18天里所做的东东啦!
食物篇
正如我所料, 食堂所供应的伙食真是有够难吃, 尤其是他们煮的鱼! 小弟本身已经不是很喜欢吃鱼了, 所以每当伙食里当中有鱼这道菜时, 我肯定会"逃避"它 :P 对了, 忘了告诉各位在那儿一天总共有6餐哦! 除了基本的早午晚餐之外, 当然还少不了10点半的早点, 3点3的午茶, 以及宵夜啦! 这样吃法, 不肥才怪! 不过幸好我可以维持体重, 算是"不幸中的大幸"吧? 哈哈!
当然, 太平这地方也有一些闻名的道地佳肴, 其中就包括了有我们马来同胞的Doli Kueh Teow以及Mee Udang. 说道Doli, 在太平是无人不晓这东东. 所以我们也当然不能放过这机会到此尝尝咯!
对了, 太平的食物价格尚算便宜, 平均大排挡的价钱才三令吉罢了, 二令吉五十仙这价钱在太平还是有的哦! 便宜到....
Doli Kueh Teow Goreng是一间由马来人所经营的炒果条店, 其中他们的Doli Kueh Teow Goreng就是他们的招牌菜. 当我们晚上9点半左右抵达的时候依然门庭若市, 生意好的不得了! 经过了超过半个小时的等待, 期待已久的炒果条终于送到我们的餐桌. 只不过, 小弟觉得它的味道算是普通罢了, 没什么值得一提的. 或许是我们对它的期望太高了吧? 总觉得吉隆坡任何一挡炒果条都比它好吃, 更何况它的价钱对太平的水准来说算是贵了一点. 小份的是RM3.50, 大份的则需RM8! 是的, 你没看错, 是八令吉! 与小份的来比较, 大份的只不过多了丁多一点点, 虾也比较大只而已! 总觉得它一点也不值八令吉这价钱咯! 不过若你有兴趣尝试的话, 不妨到此看看吧.
除了Doli Kueh Teow以外, 在太平也有非常著名的Mee Udang. 它是位于太平比较郊外的地点, 坐落于去Portwell的路途中. Mak Teh Mee Udang 算是一道令小弟大开眼界的虾面. 为什么呢? 若你在吉隆坡吃虾面的话, 碗里面的虾通常小得可怜, 而且数量更是少只有少. 不过Mak Teh 的Mee Udang刚好相反. 他共有六, 十, 以及十二令吉三种价格让顾客选择. 若你觉得价钱有点太高, 那你就错了! 因为当那十令吉的Mee Udang端到我面前时, 我被碗里面的虾给吓得"目瞪口呆"! :P 里面的虾不是三, 也不是五, 而是十只那么多! 有些人甚至得到十一只那么多呢! 就像那边的人告诉们说必须把虾推开才能看到面的情形一样的, 哈哈! 它的味道尚算不错, 碗里的海水虾的肉质非常新鲜, 吃起来口感一流, QQ的! 所以本人是非常推荐各位这道佳肴, 这么偏僻的餐店也获得了不少报章的专访, 真的不是盖的!
