Agoda.com

One of the best internet sites to book hotel rooms is www.agoda.com. Comparing with many other sites, i find this site offering the cheapest rates. Made some bookings recently at this site for my Macau and Hong Kong trip in June 2008. Will be in Hong Kong for a conference in the University of Hong Kong. Will be spending time in Macau, Shenzen and Guangzhou for short holiday while i am in Hong Kong. Will be going with a friend, Kemmy.

Sarawak Cultural Village

A must see place when in Sarawak is the cultural village. The entrance fee is pricey (RM60) per adult, but you can get a discounted ticket from an agent who is located in the Damai Beach resort (RM 55).

The village has real size replicas of ethnic houses, such as the longhouses. Then there is the cultural dance which was very captivating.

Definately a must see. About 35 minutes drive from Kuching. We had a very friendly taxi driver who brought us there and waited for us and sent us to the airport.

parking parking parking

hmmm...some students kena summon again for parking their cars indiscriminately on the main road.....aiyah...this is the malaysian attitude i guess....malaysians just love to find a parking spot just next to an entrance, or as what a colleague mentioned, if possible, malaysians drive their cars into a restaurant and park right inside it....well, most people are already doing that...the hawker stalls along the five foot way...cars are parked as near as possible so that they can jump out of their cars onto the seats available, and when they habis makan, jump from their seats right back into their cars...

gym in the morning

managed to wake up early to go to gym today...i always thought people were crazy...waking up early to go to gym...but here i am, now...ha ha...did 'step' in the Pavillion branch of True Fitness. Hmmmm...the trainer as usual was a wee bit impatient..or was he sarcastic...nonetheless, i thought the music selected to accompany the step was inappropriate for me...could not get the rhythm...

Craving

As i sit in front of my computer, ready to go to the gym, i have this craving for nasi lemak...oh dear...not those served on plates, but the ones that you get from the mamak stalls...hmmm...i wonder which mamak stall in the country sells the best nasi lemak bungkus?
