Hat Yai,Southern Thailand

Last week,went over to Thailand over a 3 day 2 night vacation.I badly needed one after a few months of stressing myself.I had to work as usual the day I left to Thailand.Got back home,bathed and packed my clothes and left home around 9pm. Travelling by a bus 13 hours straight is a pain in the ass,Trust Me!So,what is the meaning of Thailand?Thai means freedom and yeah,everyone in Thailand practices freedom. Prostitution is legal,firearms are legal and so on with weed and such as long as they do not jeopardize the well being of other citizens.Now,that's how a country should be like :D


Day 1:
After getting my passport stamped,got into the waiting bus and headed off to Sadao via Danok. FYI,Danok is the first Thai town neighboring Malaysian border and real guns with live ammunition is sold in public.

Revolver's along with other guns and military equipment
It was crazy there,the crowds were huge and stuffy.Hat Yai was 60 km to the north and it took the coach captain approximately 40 minutes to reach the outskirts of Hat Yai. The first stop we had was in Nora Plaza where all kind off leather and skin products are sold. Wallets and handbags made out of crocodile skin can be purchased here for quite a cut throat rate :) Me and dad didn't spend much time inside but we went venturing outside into the local streets. Ended up inside 7E and it was awesome! Everything from toiletries to music cds and booze which could only be purchased in few shops in Malaysia. Yea,everything is available in 7E except drugs :P

That's my first Thai energy drink stop in 7E
Later headed over to Lee Garden Plaza Hotel for lunch. Lee Garden Plaza is a combination of both hotel and mall serving branded goods and built in movie theater.Entering the mall and hotel both needs you to go through a set of body scan since the hotel was bombed by Southern Thai terrorist few years back.The hotel is 33 storey's high and visible from any part of Hatyai and Songkhla. It's considered their skyscrapers and it looks quite magnificent though.Lunch was served on the 10th floor since the restaurant in the 33th floor is undergoing minor renovation.The scenes from 10th floor was quite breathtaking.

The Main Entrance

View from the 10th floor

Was standing on the main entrance for a snap :P

After lunch,got down to window shop around Chinatown and everything from huge ass prawns to Samurai swords are available here.Thailand is crazy people!

Huge ass prawn only 10 bhat/RM1
Headed back to the hotel for some light sleep and rest since was travelling 13 hours straight onboard the bus.Stopped by 7E to get a pack of Marlboro Lights and a can of Red Bull Extra.Marlboro was too light and the Red Bull was so bloody sweet that even sweet tooth's reject em.Later that night after refreshing myself,went over to the floating market whereby food are prepared and sold onboard boats.You don't have to get down but the food will be passed to you via a stick.The food are awesome and both Malaysian and Thai currency are accepted here.For less than RM10,you could eat 5 different dishes and the proportion are quite huge.
Songkhla style fried kuey tiaw.Quite sweet and spicy with chilli powder included
Central Hatyai at night with lines of food stall and souvenir shopping
Me and dad got lost in Hatyai but managed to walk back to hotel after 30 minutes of asking for direction.The problem here in Thailand is language barrier.Everyone speaks fluent Thai and none speaks English nor Malay and that is the main problem here.I did learned few Thai words to be used in case of emergency and any situations where I need to seek help.Walked back to the hotel,had a quick bath and dozed off to bed.I might have not gone into bed early if there was any phone coonection allowing to make calls to Malaysia.I had my loved ones especially mum and My Priya who was spending restless night knowing that I am absent from her for 3 days :(

Day 2:
Woke up at 7.30am for a 8am trip.Mind you,Thailand is 1 hour late compared to Malaysia.After breakfast,left the hotel and got into a waiting bus to head off to our first location.

The view of Hatyai from some hill in the outskirts

Downtown Hatyai
The view's from the hill was breath-taking and the whole Songkhla Province can be seen from the hill.Remember the skyscraper I was telling you about? It can be seen in a distant and appears to be small.There is nothing much one could be doing on the hill except photography.Next location was the best of the best!It's an elephant camp with ATV terrain and firing range.The elephant's were none of my interest but the guns were,I was like the most happiest kid when I saw guns displayed from a distance :D Back to childhood.
Beretta M9,my favourite handgun of them all :D

US made M1911,secondary weapon attached in COD:MW ;)
Last but not least,mother of all assault rifles,M16!

The shots from M16 was pretty deafening and the recoils were strong till the butt of the gun left a blue-black mark on my shoulders.Pretty awesome experience indeed eventhough it burnt through my pockets :( Where to next? KaohSing beach on the end of Songkhla province.The view of the beach was somehow different since it was facing right into the South China Sea and is not allowed to public's for swimming.The slopes are even steeper here compared to Pangkor. Not knowing any spot might consume you as sudden slopes are 5m and above.Thailand's navy base is also located here just beside the sea and it is easier summoning the navies into sea during any emergency.

Malaysian Nasi Lemak stall in front of Lee Garden Plaza
There is only one famous Malaysian delicacy available here in Hatyai which is nasi lemak ayam goreng in front of Lee Garden Plaza.The nasi lemak was great and first look at was so tempting.A plate of it cost 40 bhat which is equivalent to RM4 Malaysian ringgit. Since me and dad had nothing to do right after dinner,we decided to watch movie in the local mall.Since Pacific Rim and RIPD is not available,we had no choice but to say YES to Wolverine 3D,dad's first 3D movie experience :D He loved it. The movie was not up to our standards though.It just lacked the X-Men factor in it.Hugh Jackman travelling up to Japan to save Mariko from Yakuza and there goes the boring storyline. Wasted 17 bhat for it though.Any yeah,before I forget.....I experienced something new in the theater here in Thailand.Well,I bet everyone's been to cinemas in life right?Usually before the beginning of any movie,there would advertisements and such right?Thailand is different,after advertisements just before the beginning of the movie,a small documentary of Thai's Majesty is aired and without any order,everyone in the cinema was standing throughout the documentary meanwhile me and dad was sitting over like a BOSS :P We were the center of attention there thanks to our Indian skin colour. The documentary was all about the contribution of Thai's Majesty during the floods which hit Bangkok and several provinces.The King himself came down all the way from his mansion and helped his people out by distributing food and medical supplies.The Thai's are very respectful of their King and FYI,try not to belittle there King once in Thailand ok?It may get you slaughtered.Its a sensitive issue for every Thai.

The Ticket


Me and dad with our 3D glasses on
Later after movie,stopped for a take away over in McD. The burger's here are expensive compared to the ones in Malaysia and not much varieties are available. However,McD's and KFC's here serve rice with sweet and sour chicken and such......Shiok kan?Too bad,the menu was not available when we came over.I had my usual McD favourite Double CheeseBurger while dad had McSpicy Chicken if I was not mistaken. Walked back again to the hotel and this time,we didn't end up getting lost like yesterday.I memorized the routes and shortcuts so if I'm in HatYai again next time,I might walk you out bravely :P
Our late night supper in HatYai

CheeseBurger,not so tasty compared to the one in Malaysia.RM 11.60 bai!
Day 3:
Day 3 is our final day in Thailand which means we had to pack up and leave back home,Malaysia!Well,if you asked me,both Thailand and Malaysia has no difference at all other than the language spoken :)

A brothel right in front of the hotel
Dad in front of Songkhla's skycraper.Visible from any part of Hatyai
Left Songkhla around 9.30 in the morning after a grand breakfast.Bought few goodies from the local 7E and braced my ass for another 13 hours of ass aching bus ride back to KL.It was not hard finding a way back to the border since all it took is one straight road with not even a slight curve to the Danok-Changlun border.It took us quite sometime over at the Malaysian border since there was a tip off on firearms smuggling.Took more than half an hour for the green light from UPP members.

Last minute shopping over at the border

Devotional Trip to Penang Island :)

It was just a normal trip which turned out to be devotional trip out of a sudden. Won a pile of
cash money and within few hours,planned a trip to Penang out of a sudden,rented a Perodua Kelisa for RM80 and departed to Penang that midnight itself. FYI,we also went over for Tamil New Year celebration which fell on 14 April 2013 this year and yeah I know this is quite an outdated post but no harm in bringing back the past right?
My rented 'Bride in White',one mighty Kei-Car


Departed from Sitiawan  around 12.50am after filling up with fuel,stopping by R&R Gunung Semanggol for a cup of early morning teh tarik and reached the beginning of the Penang Bridge around 2.40am....Mind you,I was speeding at approximately 140-150km/h all the way from Taiping to Butterworth,a normal slow drive will consume around 2 hours+. Payed toll which costs RM7 back and forth from the island which seems to be worth it :)

The road was smooth with no traffic at all

Floored the pedal all the way to Georgetown and reached Litte India/Lebuh King around 45 mins later due to not being familiar with the alleys of Penang island. Queens Street Mahamariamman temple was still closed and later I realized that I was too early there which was around 4am! Too early I would say but having extra time means that I could spend it exploring other alleys as well. Went over to Penang Esplanade to catch a quick bite and nap on the roadside since my Priya was sound asleep or else I would have called her and tortured her. This my friend's is how you kill TIME!

Drove over to Air Hitam in search of the famous Bukit Bendera and Waterfall Road Murugan Temple and guess what? The GPS brought us right into a village with road spanning only 1 metre from left to right,one wrong move and your car could end up in the ditch and continued driving all the way into a dead end,made a three point turn ( which was more than three to be exact ) and drove back the same way I made it back there. Found the temple at last and it was just in time before the 1st pooja which was around 5.30am.

Early morning pooja which 108 Sanggu Abishegam

First pooja down the hill was done,my partner decided to meditate for awhile so I was exploring the nearby attractions while he was meditating. Once done with his meditation,we quickly hiked the hill to it's famous attraction of all which is Hilltop Murugan Temple. The temple was so beautifully constructed that my jaws literally dropped. The marbles were shining bright under the chandelier and believe me,the front door is almost 3 stories high!
Lord Shiva in his meditating form,a place my partner chose to meditate

Inside the temple

The door,almost 3 stories high!
It was an awesome experience since after so long,this was one of the moment I've waited for which was hiking Hilltop all alone early in the morning and I succeeded =D. The picture below shows a 6.45am shot from Hilltop and the view was breathtaking. Whole Georgetown visible to your eyes in the wake of sunrise. Was cold too since the presence of fog.

6.45 am Georgetown snap
Finally,drove all the way to Ayer Itam to the ever famous Bukit Bendera as it's a must visit site if you ever plan on invading Penang :P Could not take a single picture at all since GPS application on my phone completely drained the power out of my phone but thank God my partner brought along his HTC Flyer as a precaution should any of our gadgets fail.

Another shot of Georgetown,the land to your left is the State of Kedah
Downtown Georgetown
That was all, to sum up my devotional trip to Penang. Went down Bukit Bendera,floored the pedal all the way over to Little India to grab lunch. Lunch as usual was South Indian food served on top of a banana leaf. Lunch amounted to RM20 for 2 person and trust me,the portion that we consumed were huge enough to feed 4 person ;) All ready planning for my next trip which would be the state of Kedah Darul Aman or Perlis which is near to the border of Thailand. Hopefully,might be able to fulfill my dreams and plan by the end of this year. Till then,see yah!

Beemer's I Hope to Own

I've always been a fan of BMW's since schooldays and could possibly say that I've retired myself from the JDM market (short for: Japanese Domestic Market). Dad was the one whom sparked my interest into Beemer's. I plan on owning Beemer's for 2 solid and simple reasons:
1) I love BMW's that much especially those made in the 80's and 90's :)
2) Dad always wanted a Beemer but could not afford it since He had extra mouth's to feed which makes me determined to get Him one too and His favourite you ask,it's an E39 ;)

Somebody's last time,
Baby, be mine ♥ Love you alot ♥

#Imissmygirlfriendandineedhernow :(

Life Sucks!

Every then and now,I thought life was awesome and beautiful but it happens to be wrong.
Everything which begins fast ends fast too,something which I never learned from my past experiences.I walk around giving out fake promises,let my egoism consume me,hurt my loved ones and also not apologizing for the mistakes I've made.
I promise myself that I will improve myself somehow but I ended up doing nothing more than irreversible damage and so I'm always ready to face the consequences.You are always welcomed to stay and exit my life,it's just that don't let me know if you're leaving cause I would not be able to take it.
Sorry for the damages I've done and I'm all prepared for what Karma has towards me :)

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Meaning of "wolf in sheep's clothing" : Someone who hides malicious intent under the guise of kindliness.

Something which I've always wanted to blog/write about since day 1 I started blogging.Let me start out with a story to make sure everyone understands what my caption really meant :

A girl leads a normal life and has an considerate amount of friends on the so-called pussy hunting site..... Oops,Facebook, I mean until one random guy with no mutual friend sends her a request of friendship. The victim@the girl without suspicion on danger accepts the request and a few days later receives the typical messages every dude sends to a girl once His request is accepted which is "Thanks alot for the accept" or "Hi How Are You?" The guy messages the girl@the victim all the time whenever she is online on Facebook and if the girl is dumb enough,she might respond and get lured into his trap and ended up being Screwed and then Dumped :( and if the girl is alert enough to the content of the messages,she might just flip her middle finger,said Fuck You and have a nice day and later proceed on blocking His profile.

Well,the story stars the dumb girl btw,so yeah,she falls for every cheap pickup lines the guy throws towards her without realizing that those words were just baits to lure her into the fishing hook. Exchanges number in the name of love(Girl)/Lust(Guy) and they begin to talk via phone for a few days which proceeds to a meeting either for a movie or lunch/dinner and BAM!!!, thats when everything escalates very fast. The predator makes his moves towards the prey,seducing/trapping their prey and exploiting them for sexual purposes. I've seen quite a number of sexual predators and I had a few with me last time in the name of friends but not anymore since I despise the existence of such individuals. Once mission is accomplished,predator dumps the prey in search of a better pussy leaving the prey clueless and abandoned even before she realize that she has been used and dumped for a reason which is pleasure. We currently live in a world with smart and cunning people taking advantage over naive people for purposes such as intelligence,riches and many other reasons left aside sex alone....Could you imagine the sick world we are living in?

Girl's out there,what could you do to prevent such predator's taking advantage over you? Simple,avoid accepting random friend request from strangers and privatize all your photos. Don't upload pictures showing your cleavage,ass and yourself in tight or skimpy clothing  Some guys gain orgasm just by watching you in your tight/skimpy outfits :) Filter your friend list from time to time and remove any unwanted friends from your FB. As simple as that,you could keep Yourself and your virginity safe and safeguard it from cunning bastards from ravaging your hymen ;)


6 Sins I've Commited

I do admit that I've committed sins and I'm brave enough to put them in a numerical order. Why am I doing so people may ask,it's because I'm tired of committing the same sin multiple times and putting them in a list may somehow prevent me from doing so again. I've put in enough effort to prevent reoccurring of such sins again and again.......so here is Le' list:

  1. Slapped quite a number of womens
  2. Disrespected elder folks especially Mum and Dad
  3. My Manliness@Ego 'blindfolds' me every once in awhile especially with my woman
  4. Using profanity and cursing whenever possible which seems to be unnecessary
  5. Not appreciating the little things my loved ones do for me
  6. Consuming alcoholic drinks and smoking which is not good for health
