风湿麻痹、关节疼痛、筋骨无力。。。

主治功能:风湿麻痹、关节疼痛、筋骨无力、腰酸背痛、祛风除湿、镇痛镇静、舒筋活血

读着读着,这些字眼是不是都很熟悉呢?脑海里是不是浮现了一位老婆婆呢?没错,这是我,那老婆婆。

自从上个礼拜从吉隆坡回来后,由于疯狂地行走了两天的百货公司导致背痛恶化。每走一步路都作痛。

药膏、药丸、贴布又次派上用场。这一年半来,我因为背痛服了无数的中、西药。为的是舒缓折磨人的背痛。

父母从朋友那边听了这个用了好,那个好,统统都买来给我试。贴的贴,吃的吃,涂的涂。我猜现在我的身体里面还有很多药都还没消化的。感觉很不对,父母好像在服伺老太婆。

虽然MRI显示我其中一节的脊椎骨稍微凸出,压倒神经线,可是舒筋的药有时吃了却有帮助。好比那些伤身的止痛药,药效一过又痛了。

希望沙捞越旅的时候不会那么痛,不然的话会连累同行的旅伴们。不要担心,我会随身携带其中一瓶‘通脉宁’。(只是有点担心过关的时候,会不会被误认为携带毒品吗?)

今日早餐:牛奶+香蕉Pancake (不太好吃因为面粉放太多了)

曾经是实习生

从今天开始,我可以告诉别人说 - 我曾经是个实习生了。过了五个月半的实习生活,开始有点习惯朝九晚五的生活了。说实在的,我并不喜欢工作,怎么办??难道一毕业就当黄脸婆?? No Way !!

实习期间真的让我吸收了很多新知识,不止课业上的,还有待人处事方面。当然,我也常偷偷地倒数还剩下几个星期, 偷偷地计划实习完毕后所要做的事情,偷偷的为越来越近的旅行而兴奋。。。

五个月半的实习生活终于结束了,也代表我假期计划的开始。

减肥!!
上班族吃饱就坐真的让我的罪恶感飙到极点!!一日之计在于晨,我不能没有早餐。我最喜欢做早餐,再加上一杯咖啡,Parfait !!

今日早餐:白面包,鸡蛋,杏仁,百香果,咖啡

由于脊椎骨的问题,激烈运动统统都必须要离我而去,所以痛快地出汗对我来说并不容易。我只能靠健康的饮食来控制体重。

新年快要到了,想把衣服穿得好看点吗?大家一起来减肥吧,我们可以互相鼓励鼓励。哈哈!

5D4N Penang-Phuket-Krabi-Hatyai-Penang

This trip was actually a very last minute plan ( a week before ). Parents and I decided to take a short escape to somewhere else during Deepavali and Awal Muharam. Hotels were booked at agoda.com and booking.com. Last minute flight ticket (Firefly) to Phuket was too expensive and there was no direct flight (Air Asia) from Penang to Phuket. So, we took a van. Guess how long was the journey to Phuket? Total 626KM, 10 hours !!!

We chose to stay at Patong Beach, as it is a very happening place. The time we arrived to the hotel (Bel Aire Resort Phuket ) was already 6pm. A day wasted in the van. Without wasting time, we explored the town after placing our luggage in the room.

 Bangla Road is the heart of Phuket nightlife. Nightclubs and bars are all along the road and the non-stop club hits turn people into higher mood.  They are just within walking distance from the hotel.

 Sexy ladyboys. Notice the ladyboy in yellow? 'She' was showing her boop to the guy in white. LOL..look at his expression. 
Pole dancing. 1,2,3,4,5,6.....

The next day. Sunblock and shades ON !

SUN +  BEACH  + BLUE SKY @ Patong Beach. Umbrellas and beach chairs at the beach are for rent. Cost around 200baht per day.


We couldn't stand the heat of the sun. So soon after we took some pictures and had a short walk at the beach, we hopped on a tuk tuk and had a city tour. Unlike Bangkok,  the shops around Patong Beach are mostly selling beach wear, sandals, sunglasses, bikinis and souvenirs. 


The driver took us from the beach to the hill top then the town. The weather was very very hot but it couldn't stop us from posing and visiting around. Amazing sea view.

Look!! Who's here? Little 'Nam' from the Thai romantic comedy film 'A Little Thing Called Love' and her boy friends. At 1st she didn't notice I was taking her picture. Haha so cute in Nam's uniform and hair style. She'll become a pretty girl when she grows up. 


3rd day - Phuket - Phi Phi Island - Krabi

We chose to go Krabi by Phi Phi Cruiser instead of van. Why? Because it stops by Phi Phi Island! No visit to Phuket would be complete without a trip to Phi Phi Island right? Phi Phi is a place I always wanted to go! Finally, I AM HERE ! There were total 3 decks on the cruise. Roof top and 2 air-conditioned lounges. If you enjoy the sun, you may have your sun tanned at the roof top. We were given an hour for snorkeling. 

With the cruise of the day :)


At Krabi, I stayed at Ao Nang Top View. It is located close to the beach and the main street. The shops in Ao Nang are not much different with Phuket. Mostly beach accessories. Family and I just walked around and decided to explore Krabi town. So, again, tuk tuk - the main transport in town. I did not go for rock climbing and water rafting as mum is not a fan of adventure T__T.  I tried water rafting at Sabah before and I wish to try rock climbing!

I got to know that Phuket offers a world class rock climbing course when I was searching info about Krabi. Look at this http://climbingschoolusa.com/climbinglocations/climb-thailand.html so chi kek !! We did nothing much in Krabi. I think I prefer Phuket if compared to Krabi. 

By the way, there was a very nice beef noodle at Ao Nang. The soup is rich. You can see it from the picture. If you ever have a chance to visit there, it is a MUST EAT. Check here : Ao Nang Boat Noodle. At the same time, don't forget their Mango Sticky Rice. They added something crispy like cornflakes to it.  



So the FINAL day. Krabi-Hatyai-Penang. 4+4 hours.

Stopped by Hatyai to have buffet lunch at Lee Garden and buy some hair care product because they are cheaper than Malaysia. Also, we wanted to kill the long hour journey (8 hours) back to Penang into half. 

THE END of my 5 days holiday.

Some useful tips that may help if you plan to go (RM 1 = 10 baht)
Penang-Phuket van fare (10 hrs)                : RM70/pax
Bel Aire Hotel                                           : RM170/night
Phuket town tour                                       : RM40/tuk tuk
Phuket-Krabi cruise                                  : RM130/pax
Top View Ao Nang                                  : RM150/night
Krabi-Hatyat-Penang van fare (4+4hrs)     : RM70/pax
Tuk-tuk to Krabi town                              : RM2

We saved a lot on this trip as if we join tour, it will definitely cost over RM1000/pax for 5D4N. It is better to  plan on a trip earlier and maybe you can get a cheap Firefly direct flight air ticket. 20 hours to and fro is not worth and sickening (if we drive on our own, I think dad will give up in the middle of the way. haaha)

I am LOOKING FORWARD to my next year trip if I can survive the end of the world this Dec
(Jan)Kuching with coursemates
(Feb)Bangkok shopping trip with girl friends 
(July)Sabah with family

饮茶 Yamcha

又是Chai Diam Ma. 喜欢Heritage Cafe是因为它们给我一种温暖的感觉。可能是室内朴素的装潢,木质的桌椅,舒适的环境,总而言之是简单中的幸福。

这Post结合了我近两次来Chai Diam Ma. 

浓厚的火龙果汁
番茄汁+盐
和朋友到这里Yamcha的时候,一聊可以聊上几个小时。还有公仔在一旁偷听。。。

可以选择室外的座位。这里有自然的日光照射
店里的小小成员。(有点串的小白兔,关在自我空间的娃娃,还有红波点皮肤的娃娃)


目标:前往槟城所有的Heritage Cafe!

卷发篇

最近跟Apollo逛街的时候,发现她的卷发还不错,于是问了她怎样弄的。结果她教了我一个很棒的方法,从Youtube学的。

不必电棒卷,不必化学发油,只需要这个


  1. 准备两双干净的袜子
  2. 洗了头发后,趁头发还没完全干的时候把它分成4边
  3. 用袜子把头发卷起来,最后打个结
  4. 然后睡觉去
晚安




登。。登。。




这是我尝试了第三次才成功的。失败原因:
  1. 头发没弄湿就卷了,结果第二天不够卷,刷牙洗脸后又打回原形
  2. 卷到太高了,看起来好像疯婆(卷到耳朵下就好了)


NG


温馨提示:
半夜睡觉的时候,会因为睡在这4颗‘发球’上而生气。这个时候,千万别为了一时的气而动手把它们都给拔掉喔!

有空不妨试试看,不伤发质又经济的卷发 :)

The way I am 我是/我

昨天晚上去了一场  摄影展+音乐会 —— 我是/我

地点在即将开张的  書shū@Chai Diam Ma, 78 Pitt Street (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Kling), 10200 Penang 


Chai Diam Ma 是槟城福建话“杂货店”的译音。这里不卖材米油盐酱醋,这里贩卖的是无限的人文艺术创意气息。



我是/我  主要带来的信息是要告诉我们不要迷失自己,做回你心中最向往的那个自己。



店里面的壁画





每一个角落,只要你用心留意,你将会意外地发现这些符写着信息的照片



随着天色渐暗,照片上的文字也逐渐模糊

两层楼的Chai Diam Ma
 被关在笼子里的照片显得特别emo......
很多时候,我想。。。我想。。。我想。。。。
却和现实成了对比
周围的人,事,物
往往会是我们最大的牵挂

还记得你最后一次用笔把感受写出来是几时吗?
Post-A-Card 希望唤醒人与人之间最初的感动与收信人最诚恳的笑容。
 从吉隆坡远道而来的歌乐手。他们并不是职业歌手;他们只是热爱音乐的一斑年轻人透过音乐来表达出我是/我



你找到你的我是/我了吗?
人生 NO TAKE 2
不要等到一切太迟了才来后悔


就像这只死在我隔壁车顶上的小老鼠。。吓倒刚泊好车的我脸青青 @@

阿弥托佛

懒洋洋

自从实习开始以后,我便是朝九晚五的上班族。天还没亮就起床了,而放工的时候已是太阳快要下山的时候。每天和太阳公公擦肩而过。

这才发现,我并不太喜欢每天坐在办公室的生活。
最期待的周末却变成了懒洋洋的周末,不太想出街,只想窝在家里。
我想,再这样下去我会慢慢地迈向宅女的世界,家里就是我唯一的生活范围。

The 'EARTH' without 'ART' is 'EH'

I believe many of you have seen many posts and pictures about the street arts at Georgetown recently in conjunction with the one-month long George Town Festival 2012.

Since Georgetown was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2008, as part of the Penangites, I feel proud of it. Penang BOLEH !!

One of my fav activities is walk around the streets in town area and 'pretend' to be a tourist. It is more meaningful than hang out in the shopping mall, isn't it? In despite of the hot sun, I headed to George Town with friends last weekend to check out the street arts.

Siblings having fun. Look at the expressions, so real...
The most significant artwork









Hand-made directory to direct us

Baby Orang Utan spotted in a cube

Oopss..what's behind me??

WHAT??  A tamed-looking Dino?

No, actually the girls are the scariest ones...


Sorry, I created my own story just to add some fun in this post :) Anyway, there's no fix meaning for artworks as they are open for interpretations right?

Kuan Yin Teng - One of the oldest Chinese temples in Penang which was built in 1728


Unexpectedly, we met one of the artists on the street and he brought us to visit their studio - ResCube, which is located at Beach Street. There, we met with the other talented artists who involved in painting the street arts.

A pic together with the 'transparent boy'
Left most - Ernest Zacharevic(ResCube artist)
Tan Kai Sheuan with his creation which looks much like him
ResCube is a site-specific exhibition by six young and upcoming artists.
Its concept is based on the structure of a cube. One entity- six sides; one cube- six walls.

The 'EARTH' without 'ART' is 'EH'

So, don't miss out ResCube opening on this coming Friday (7 July) at 7pm!! Check this out
212, Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street), GeorgeTown, Penang.
