Bhutan - the Happiest Place on Earth

2010-07-21T13:56:00.003+08:00

One of trainner at my company going to Bhutan next week. It cost USD250 per day only for VISA. What so fun with one of the poorest country on earth? Imagine they don't have internet access, movie, playpark, bar, etc. But it is a quite popular tourist place. Because it is THE MOST HAPPIEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.

Check this out for below article.

Sandwiched happily between Tibet and India in the heart of the Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan has been called the “Last Shangri-La.”

The country’s harmonious society, cheerful people, beautiful rolling hills and quiet life make it a prime destination for travelers looking for a truly magical experience.
The people of Bhutan, the only Vajrayana Buddhist country in the world, work hard to preserve their culture and way of life. Therefore, they have a lot of protective laws in the area of tourism. All visitors must apply for a visa at least a month before their visit to Bhutan and the visa is good only for 14 days. Generally, Bhutan only grants tourist visas to those who will benefit the country in some way or who have reserved spots on expensive tours. However, the experience that you will have in Bhutan is totally worth the work you will have to put in to get a visa and plan your trip.
Because of Bhutan’s tourism restrictions, most tourists visit the country on cultural tours. This is one of the best ways to visit Bhutan, as your tour guide will ensure that you see all of the most important destinations.
When visiting Bhutan, you will fly into the airport in Paro. Paro is also the site of Taktsang Monastery, one of Bhutan’s most important Buddhist sites. Taktsang Monastery is a beautiful shrine built on a cliff and is definitely worth visiting.
In the city of Punakha, which was Bhutan’s capital until Thimphu replaced it in the 1960s, visit Punakha Dzong. This ancient Bhutan fortress stands majestically between two rivers - the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu. Punakha is also a great destination for trekking.
Jakar is one of the most important towns in all of Bhutan, as it is the birthplace of Buddhism in the country. In Jakar, you can visit the Wangdicholing Palace, which was once the summer residence of Bhutan’s first and second kings. Jakar Dzong, an impressive fortress that houses monastic and administrative offices, is also located in Jakar.
Bhutan is unique in that it makes all its administrative decisions based on Gross National Happiness, striving for economic growth and preservation of culture and heritage. As a result, though it is a poor country, there is no crime, poverty or hunger. The Kingdom of Bhutan is truly a one of a kind travel destination.

Hate outstation for business trip

2010-06-13T15:59:00.002+08:00

No choice, work as programmer is a must that you have to travel around. My first business trip was 2007, Jakarta Indonesia. First time ofcourse fun, but after that, not fun at all.

Many ppl will envy about staff always have the chance to go oversea to deliver our products/program. But in fact, not fun at all. Imagine you have to go to a place that you totally not faimilar at all, you have to use their country currency, you have to follow their country some rules and regulation, etc etc.

Language is a big problem. When I need to support China issue, they text to us in Chinese language. At Malaysia most of the computer terms are use in English, eg. "hard disk" they all "硬碟". You try go to low yat and tell them "我要买硬碟". Then you will know what happen. The time I reply their email is much more than I fix their issues. Sometimes they do not know what the hell I talking about in Chinese.

During my ex-job, during day time I have to meeting + developing. Night time? pub and disco. And you cannot say "No" when they invited.

Last time when JB branch need to change server, I have to work until 4am. I need to wait until 6pm no body using the server, then I have to change their server. All the configuration, setting bla bla bla I have to get it done before the next business day. End up 4am to get it done. Tomolo morning 9am still need to reach their office for meeting.

China Shanghai I went twice and next couples of week going to Beijing. Shanghai..haihz...both are winter time. Fall sick, flue, fever. Not use to be their weather but you have to work. You cannot take MC when you at outstation right?

Someore allowance, totally cannot cover. My current company job only provide meal allowance, come on, we still have to use some other extra money. During weekend, you don't need to get snack,supper? You will not meet your friend? You will not use roaming to call somebody?

Celebrity Fitness

2010-05-29T11:39:00.003+08:00

Recently registerd as a member for celebrity fitness. Extremely worth it. Each month only RM179. And registration fees + admin only RM128. There are cycling studio, aerobic class and yoga.
Aerobic, meaning ‘with oxygen’ is a term that was developed in the sixties when scientists realized that people with physical strength didn’t necessarily have the ability to, for example, run long distances. . Today the term ‘aerobic’ brings to mind the fat burning exercises associated with cardiovascular activities that require a person to do sustained activity at a 60-85% of their maximum heart rate. Aerobic workouts increase lung capacity, strengthen the heart muscle so it takes less energy to pump blood through the body, and improve overall endurance and health.

Do not watch under the mountain

2010-03-19T00:02:00.002+08:00

Team Building at Tangkak

2010-03-08T22:41:00.016+08:00

Team building camp. Not sure consider as a company trip or not. Fall on Friday and Saturday. At least don't need to work at Friday, then I go lor. 2nd time go to tangkak. 1st time was attending my friend wedding dinner.

Nice drawing? Please don't laugh of the drawing...not my fault. ok? Something like kingdergarden's work.

Banner also need to share with others...so kiam siap
They took it off just the next day we arrived. And hang it up for another company team building

One people giving instruction, another one just follow to step forward without touching the chair. Once failed need to start over again. And I cheated for this. Can peep :Þ

All team member step on carpet, without move out of the carpet, we have to turn over the carpet.

Another stupid game, we lose badly. Left one is ours, right one is enemy one.

Hockey Socks. Put a tennis ball on floor and another inside the socks. Swing the socks and hit the ball. Looks easy but really hard. This one we lose also, leading by 4-0 at the end lose 7-5.

2009 Moon Cake Dinner With Family

2010-03-08T00:48:00.013+08:00

When I stay at sentul, normally "chinese big days" we will enjoying our dinner at home. CNY eve, moon cake dinner, "pass winter" dinner and more. But when something happen, I like long time ago never enjoy my "big dinner" at home. Year 2009 moon cake go to my cousin restaurant (a billionare) located at Cheras.

I hate to eat at outside. Every year also hate. Regardless what we ate, shark fin, abalone (taste not nice at all). I rather go to "dai chao" eat something that I like to eat.
This bowl of dishes cost RM799. Holy shyt... I rather go food street to eat something much more nicer than this.

water fish - when I post these picture into facebook, one of my friend saying that I'm cruel, why eat "turtle"? lol..that's not turtle...is water fish.

The bone more than meat...not nice at all. This one if not mistaken cost about RM100+

Cooked cheese oyster. I 1st time eat cooked oyster. I prefer fresh oyster...cooked osyter like ..hmm...nothing much. This one dunno how much..but roughy RM10+ each.
Last dishes, look nice but taste bad. I go somehwere eat steam fei chou fish better...

All together cost about RM1000+ funny parts is my brother would like to pay for the dinner and ask me to share the cost. When he sees the bill cost so much and he said "forget it, let's dad pay for it" Since he so rich...muahahaha

Redang Trip - Day 2 31/3/2009

2009-04-13T11:33:00.061+08:00

it takes 7 hour to reach Terrengganu. Normally will take 8 hours but the bus driver speed. Around 5am we reach the bus stop. And we need to wait around 8am to go to jetty. So stupid ler...every time go to redang have to wait like that. And at the morning no way we can go. Even mamak store also hard to find. If i was in kl...u can find 24 hours mamak store everywhere.

This is our breakfast!!! Bought from 7-11. cup mee and home made soya. Eh the taste of the soya quite nice ler. Remember the cover and you can try it next time :p

And this is their breakfast. The botak driking coffee early morning

Change short pants before your boarding to jetty!! Why leh? because at redang they do not have jetty. Unless you choosing laguna resort. When the boat reach near the beach. You have to 'jump sea'. The bus needs to go to airport, and go to Kuala Terrengganu jetty. It takes an hour to reach.

In the bus, everyone is sleeping. I'm sleepy too but i cant sleep. All already become panda eyes.

Taken by Charles. 2nd one taken by BoTaK. Suddenly we saw a mosque built on lake. Nice? I mean the skill to capture the photo. Wakakakaka.
Kuala Terengganu air port. If I never post these air port picture my ear will be twisted. XD

Reach jetty finally. Its around 8 or 9 am. There is a funny case happen the time I take the picture. When i wanted to take another picture, got a girl from china walk pass by me and she never realise that i was taking photo and she was blocking the camera view. After that her friend realise and told her, hey!! you are blocking somebody. And she apologise for it. Guess what I reply, I said say sorry got use? you already blocked and the camera already capture your face. I didn't post at here because already deleted. Save my camera memory XD.

In the boat. All with life jacket. Dunno y, wherever i go for vacation, only redang can give me the feel of vacation. I went to so many places also dun have that 'feel'. Maybe I'm always lepak here and there. As a city guy, go every where also the same. But redang is different.

Our boatman. Looks cool. But when he smile looks like rapist. Try imagine when the boatman smile....

hehehehehe~~ heheh~~ hehehehe

On the boat, look at the guyz at the left hand side. He was wearing long pants + shoes. He think he very yeng? I'm waiting to see how he going to jump sea.

And the boat seat dun have any cushion lor. My ass already open flower. Oh ya forget to tell about the malay girl sit at behind the boat. We're discussing, when snorkeling, will the malay galz still wear the tudung? It will become a giant jelly fish. =x

top 2 pic nothing special, but the bottom 2 pic, really awesome. That's the destination. Took 12 hours from kl to redang. The water color really like swimming pool. Funny thing is, the Alex (another guyz from another couples) scream "wow!!! why the sand in white color!!!" We're going to enjoy at here for 3 days 2 nite. Roar~

our room. I booked twin sharing x3 but they gv us quad sharing x3. The purpose we take this photo is to compare 'before and after' we use the room. But when we check out we forget to snap the picture.

Our tatto!! temporary one ofcoz. top left is my dear de, top right is mine...scorpion. bottom left is john and last one is alex. Where is another 2?!?! another 2 fella forget to remove the plastic cover before paste the tatto. So the tatto cannot be used. We're tatto gang~~hahahaha

the 2 balls on her hands. i buy for smash ppl de. now become my kitten de toy

hows the taste of the coconut? i climb and plucked de!!

I also dunno which one is mine lor~~

our BBQ dinner~~

redang reef resort, year 2001 me 1st time go to redang..i stay at here...reef resort..and i start to fall in love with redang island. I still remember i went in the more more tea house.

the signboard wrote "Welcome to Redang Reef Resot Candy And GiftShop, Blue Sand" the 'resot' they spelt wrong. and how about the blue sand? what the fish is blue sand? blue sand means the sand in blue color lor. it only can be seen at the night. just like a mini blue light bulb at the sand. next time go to redang, must have a look into it. Blue Sand~

Redang trip - Day 1 30/3/2009

3d2n trip, this is my 5th time to go redang. why go so many times? cause i like beach. only goes to beach will have the 'feel' of vacation. We're total of 6 members.

jenn & bing canice & charles pang & moi

what thing funny is, the fatty botak his hair at the same day. The picture taken at the bus before we depart. and this is my 1st vacation with my honey. Bus departed at 10.30am, during that day, we force ourself to tired. and my honey not allowed everyone to sleep at home. so we can sleep at the bus. and..i sleep like a piggy during the journey. Even reach the rest house i also din realise. but i manage to buy burger to eat. omfg the taste of the burger at the cold bus damn nice.
