Visa & LCC

For all those travelling using LCC (AirAsia), if you plan to take AirAsia as your connecting flight & if you don't have a visa for that particular country, DON'T TAKE IT!!!!! Yes, i did it, and it was not worth it!!! Gone ,wasted one RETURN ticket Bangkok-KL & KL-BKK as Zoyli needed Visa to enter thailand but not for Malaysia,i booked his ticket thinking it would be fine & he will be able to check in as there was only one terminal.Apparently NOT!! So when he arrived at bangkok from budapest & was supposed to get his connecting flight to KL, they refused to let him check in,as they didnt have a transit counter in the transit area, & he had to go out thru immigration which he cant as he didn't have a visa.. Poor guy tried all ways to get that flgiht,incl telling the security he will pay him & all he had to do was follow him out to immigration..this funny boy, calls me & tells me bout his situation,& i tried all means to get him to get that flight but in the end he had no choice but to take another airlines & he took MAS (amidst all that, when he called he was like "Hey have you watched Terminal2, i was so blur i was like No,he then laughed & said he was acting in it" ahh hilarious )but YEa at least he made it to KL!! 1problem solved....

Problem 2...Of coz occured during departure.. We thought ok maybe this time we can ask the airasia people to help make arrangements check-in the luggage direct so he doesnt have to go out of the terminal but NAHHH didn't work!! called KLIA & ask which flight flew out to BKK the earliest-they said MAS but had to go to level3 to purchase ticket & wait on standby,so rushed to KLIA, went to MAS ticketing office, as there was a flight at 20:15 (last flight) & we were already nearby, we were at the counter around 19:15 but by the time we took our number,ahh our luck the guy said we couldnt get a ticket!! so he asked to try Lufthansa go up level4,tried to find the airline office one maze it was, got there,notice said "Mon-Sat after 6pm @ Check in counter Level 5" Arghhhh, that flight was at 21:20 & time was just ticking so ran to Level5 to Lufthansa ticket counter & tried to get a ticket.......
THANK GOD, they had a ticket but it cost rm1300 (at least better than if he missed the flight from bangkok & couldn't get to budapest & waste a whole ticket there)

Lesson to be learnt: Ask your travel agent to do all arrangements of flight or just get a Visa...
*the passenger involved in this case has reached bangkok safely & is on his way back home........... no one was harm during this experiment haha* except those involved & those that gain were the stupid airline company =D

Places - vibes

I just got back from the airport sent zoyli off… grr airports and hospitals are the weirdest places to be depends on the occasion, it can be a nice place to be or the last place you would wanna be… If you're sending someone close off to the airport, its the least favorite place to be, as you know you're gonna be away from them for awhile & having to say goodbye sucks especially when you're alone so people don't go ALONE, bring someone to accompany you or your drive back will be a dreadful one ;) On the other hand, it is also the best place to be when you're waiting for that special someone to return from their holiday or back home, visiting & the feeling of being reunited again just lifts one spirit up!! That's what I look forward too, going to the airport to pick someone up, but most of the time, its people picking me up, & I'm the one travelling and living home, so the only experience I don't like bout airports is when I have to leave my holiday & get back to normal life or when I have to send someone off……. (so I try not to send people off to the airport in fear of being emotional)

Another place would be hospitals. This is the place where I've been to see newborn come to life and welcome them to the world, as well as sad memories where those we love depart with us to continue on another journey of life. I guess that's life in every HELLO, there will be a GOODBYE it's just a matter of time & it's just life's chain cycle… newborn-death, hello-goodbye, young-old…. So hospital would be my least favorite place, and try not to go to one, hehe i still can welcome the baby into the world from home, so I don't really need to go to the hospital. A lot of negative vibes are there I feel so not a good place for me to be…

Shopping malls, haha yea those are good place to be as they have lots of positive vibes, alongside theme parks & entertainment centers (not only night clubs people) You can see lots of people happy & that's good for my energy so I have more good vibes J

Car jinx!!!!

oh this is sorta back dated post as it happened just right exactly before i left for my holiday (sorta farewell gift from God knows who for what..) ok here it is, 23 march i met with an accident, whereby a lady drove into me when i was at Pyramid parking lot,i was heading back home,she was findng for a parking (the lady paid me rm200 the quoted price by workhop was rm250 but she said she wanted to pay half so i said the damage cost rm500 haha)...as my previous post u can see posted pics n all, my front wasn't severely damaged but it was scratched,now looking back i guess i hit the wall (the pic with the bad damage in the front was caused, YES BY ME,thinkin i could pass the corner of the parking hahaha) 2 different scenario hit by 2diffrent ppl one month apart....WAITttttttttt............... it doesnt stop there...
THATS RIGHT!!!!!!!!! april 18 a day before i leave for my nice holiday hehe its like the Angels are saying,wait before she leaves lets put her in trouble & give her a bit of a headache & make her life difficult....... FIneeee..what happens is, while i was looking forward to my morning, it was pretty heavy traffic as usual.. all the cars were basically not moving & suddenly this dude behind me, decides to release his break i guess or whatever,but ramps into me from behind when traffic is at stand still.. ARGGHHH....thank god i wore my seat belt as i moved forward a lil & was soo in a state of shocked..i got down in the middle of the road & wanted to resolve the matter when the bus behind the car horn,so i decided not to create anymore attn & waited til the traffic move & pull over..took the guy number plate,contact number,ic number,full name & all, & pic of damage on my car (haha but forgot to take his car type model-it was a honda civic i think)so had to settle my car issue & postpone all my class :( tried to find quotation for the damage no one knew how much it would cost,as they didnt have the part as well to fix-went KL,Sunway & last in puchng around 7pm only before the shop close we made it in time,found quotation for the number plate piece was rm300,told the dude was rm600-thinkin i would get rm300 extra, just to find out the cost didnt incl the knockin n paintin!!!!!!! but the guy paid me that night itself without any hassle-if i knew would have told him it cost rm800 :P aiyo so all together had to spend rm300(for the part), rm200 to do the front & another rm200 to fix the back!! so total cash i collected from people who KISSED ME was rm800 & total cost to fix all the damage done to my car was rm 700... i have rm100 balance :)

i now conclude that i have a phobia for driving... oh i forgot to mention,after the accident when i got back on 25th recently,took ween's Hyundai Coupe & while makin a U-turn at Sunway to go back this lady on her motorbike was next to me,& felt like she was gonna fall on me so ,i drove close to the edge & ended up scratching ween's rims,but its no noticable =p but half the rim behind is scratched, & the next day after that, i drove his car again & this timehis engine almost was OVERHEATED..........

aaaaaaargggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. i swear i think i have been car jinx!! someone take away those jinx!!!

*my car has been fixed however,the color isn't the same as the part that was nt painted has an older effect,but im gonna try polish the whole car & hope it looks nice & new:)

Macau-ShenZhen with pics

HoLiDay...


Home sweet home…back in KL already… it was a nice experience this trip, we experienced all of the public transport there & went to two different countries only in 5days- Macau, shenZhen People's Republic of China. The currency used in Macau-MOP & China- RMB but we basically used HKD which was almost the same HKD2.3 = RM1. First mode of transportation by airplane to first destination Macau, arrived hired a driver from MetroPark Hotel concierge for HKD200/hr took him for 3hrs,(visited Fire Lotus, Kun Iam Statue, St Paul ruins, mount Fortress, A-ma Temple) After that he dropped us at the hotel & we walked around our hotel area for hrs (pretty good exercise, hope I lost weight) visited several casino hotel & went in to the Grand Lisboa to watch people gamble (finally after 30mins of observing papa & me learnt how to play Baccarat)…At night tried to get a taxi, but the guys didn't understand English & where Fisherman Wharf was, so again we decided to be adventurous & walk, it was pretty long & we kinda got a little lost, until we decided to skip it & head back to the hotel, next day take the free shuttle service from hotel to Macau Ferry Terminal which is walking distance to Fisherman Wharf.




We went to Macau Ferry Terminal to buy our TurboJet cruise boat ticket to go across ShenZhen, to meet several business people. Then, instead of going to fisherman Wharf, we decided to try taking the bus to Senado Square, as me & mom wanted to do a lil shopping. It cost us only MOP2.50/person to any of the stop along that whole route of tourist attraction but per entry. Very nice place, since Macau was influenced by Portuguese, most of the signboards were written in Chinese & Portugal (if you close the Chinese words, you can feel like you're in Portugal with lots of Chinese tourist-ok maybe not) On the way back was funny, as we thought we could take the same number bus,but we were not on the opposite side of the road, so we ended up in Zhunghai border & had to hop off there, & take another bus in front of us, since the bus driver we were on was on break…so another long ride back again to hotel. Later in the evening only we took the free shuttle to Fishermans Wharf & regretted not going earlier, as it was a pretty big place inside. There were like almost 18 different theme/ countries type of building & attraction. They even had an amusement park inside one of the themes… It was like going around the world in this one very nice place…


The ride to ShenZhen was nice & smooth on the TurboJet for an hour, just found out they also had a heliexpress would have been nice to try, but it cost HKD1100 (can save & go shopping haha) arrived there, mom was stopped buy customs as her bag she carried had the rejected goods that we wanted to return to our supplier, & the product though made in China didn't have the stamp "made in china" they stopped her. So spent awhile sorting that out, than had to wait almost another hour for the regional sales manager of our supplier Merry to pick us up form the Terminal, only to find out she was lost & went to the wrong terminal. She is so cute & clueless (she is a year younger than me, & hasn't been out much except to Canton for the trade fair, her office, her apt & her hometown, not even Macau) ShangHai hotel was very nice & I liked the interior design for the rooms. But it basically is China, so it was pretty dirty like Shang Hai & extremely busy & crowded & worse when we were there it was the weekend so yea expect everyone in KL, Selangor & few other cities to be gathered at one time that's how it felt like…Went to her office by cab, taxi were sorta pricey, starting price is around RMB12.50. Had a bit of discussion with the Sales Manager who doesn't speak English, so Merry was our translator & their software engineer who lived in Malaysia before (he could speak a bit of Malay), from there went to another company to find out bout similar products. All the chaos gave my poor tummy culture shock & it made my cramps worse. Then decided to walk back since we were already in town & our hotel was just 5/10min walkin… We stayed near the electronic mall, & things were ok considerable price, but because it was made in china was too skeptical to purchase in case if we get cheated. It was really amazing to see the goods that people were selling by the roadside to make extra income & the irony is there were ppl buying (LCD screen, inkjet cartridge, IBM LAPTOP that was the shocking item haha for RMB3000 only = USD500)


Sunday, Merry came over to our hotel to take us shopping. Dad bought 3pairs of shoe!! I only bought 2pairs & mom was the main person that was supposed to buy sneakers didn't buy & ended with only 1pair of pretty beaded shoes… Took the Subway Metro to experience China transport & it was not bad, just like our PUTRA LRT it cost RMB2/person for a journey with 4stops.


China compared to Macau guess due to the population fact has extremely bad traffic. We were supposed to visit the factory where they produce the good we import before our Ferry, but we couldn't make it in time due to the massive traffic, so we ended up straight to the terminal, as merry had to buy her ticket to Macau to clear the 34 pcs of rejected items that were held in customs & mail it from Macau. Yea, gave her a chance to visit Macau for a brief moment J There was no custom check going out of ShenZhen & when we arrived Macau, the customs ppl didn't scan our bags or even check, so if u wanna smuggle goods in its possible, not that I wanna risk it & do it, but if I ever do get desperate & wanna trade goods I know where to go hahaha… so merry finally settled her dilemma of getting the rejected goods in china. We had lunch at the nice Indian restaurant in Macau before taking our flight back… Therefore, we were at 3countries in a day- ShenZhen in morning, Macau in the afternoon & Malaysia at night…


NOWWW… back at work as didn't go to work yesterday as was busy on ice, so today since I received my salary for the month of April, considering I didn't go to office a lot, decided to be a little responsible & fulfill my duty J haha by coming to office AT LEAST & writing my blog, though I don't have net as the wireless is down & home the modem is out, so I write in my WORD Doc & then later when I have access I just click publish & ta-da it appears here :D on my blog site

Day3 we left to ShenZhen (mainland China) by TurboJEt crusie ship..it was really fast & smooth,(we didnt have enough time to go to Hong Kong unfotunately) then we had some problems at the immigration as htey didnt allow us to bring in our products for business that were reject to send back to the supplier (as it was not written behind MADE IN CHINA)so stranded at the airport, then the lady we deal with for business Merry was lost & another delay there.. The hotel we stayed SHanghai Hotel is nice (this is where im written my blog from hehe, on the Facility Centre on my room floor) after check-in went for lunch at a Muslim REstaurant very nice & big the place & food, then we went to visit Merry's office & we had some discussion with our suppliers sales manager.. LAter after that we went to another supplier Downtown, & while walkin back we stay near all Electronic market,so we just went to few shops..the best thing is that, there were ppl actually selling LCD, used inkjet by the roadside!!!
Day4 -Merry came over to our hotel to take us to some places to go shoping for shoes & clothes. The things were ok not all that i must say..hmm it's China not Europe.So after all the walkin my feet is tired decided to come online,chat a lil & write a short blog of my trip.. will elaborate more with pics when im back!!
