Sorry for the late posting lately...i've been super busy, not wif my study schedule definitely(coz im having almost stress-free classes), but mostly on my final year project (thesis), ped ass, trip to ipoh, wkends at melaka and frens' bday celebrations...

Anyways, last week my fren brought me to dis place called Kuantan Village at Kuala Selangor, somewhr quite outskirt of KL city, to watch fireflies.. Yea fireflies~~!! I didnt noe it was reli dat far and it took us almost an hour to reach d place..on d way thr we were met wif not once, not twice but THRICE, a herd of bulls and cows chewing on roadside grass, dat looked pretty pissed and mad at us and seemed ready to attack us at any moment..



Thank God we've survived unharmed!! *phew* When we reached the firefly farm, it was dead silent and pretty dark, gloomy surrounding...a pin drop could be heard loud n clear..so we went to the jetty and told the Pakcik we wanted to go for a round and he told us it's RM40 per ride. After wearing the stinky life jacket, we got into the sampan, manually rowed by another Pakcik and started off our journey~~~~ According to him, not as much fireflies would be coming out after a heavy downpour..therefore, dat day it was right after a heavy rain, so d trees wasnt as brightly lighted as it would be..nonetheless, it was still very lovely and amazing..almost fantasy-like..and it's like brightly decorated X'mas trees..one thing to take note is we're not allowed to catch any fireflies wadsoeva ways and bring them home secretly, altho' i have d thought n intention to do so..pif! i've managed to catch a few fireflies and their neon light appears to be greenish yellow. be careful not to press on them coz they r such fragile n soft creatures.

Got dis lovely pic off a website but i've forgotten which d. =.=
So this is the view we saw right there, at that moment.

BEHOLD! All hail dis cool + cute handbag!! Small, sleek and highly convenient to be carried around...can fit ur hp, make-up, keys, tissue paper, etc etc..





Unzip it and TA DAH!



It doesnt only look nice from d outer but also nice inside out! Got another compartment inside sumore. Cool aye??



Found dis hidden treasure @ KIA...@ RM40+ if not mistaken..see if ur lucky enuf 2 spot it! XP

my short holiday of 2 weeks is finally coming 2 an end..:( not enuf time! too many things 2 do, too lil time..met up wif Ping for lunch and i was longing to hav curry chicken rice but when we reached d place it was sold out d. it was only 12.30 lei. d other stall no nid 2 mention..wud be sold out even earlier. Kch ppl reli like to eat curry chicken rice hor..sheesh!


So we went to Crowne Sq to try out dis Indonesian restaurant called Pondok Laguna. Walk in thru d side entrance of Mr.Ho's Fine Foods and u'll c d restaurant waiting for u directly right in front. Spoiled by choice with their wide selection of menu, we've finally decided to order these:

watermelon + honey dew + milk + froggie egg.
notice on d right is d Indonesian 'achar'. nth compared to our local achar.

my kedondong juice. super nice n refreshing.
(dis is not in d menu, d waitress recommended it)

traditional rice bucket. so unique.

sambal sotong. quite spicy but delish.

grilled fish. very spicy but its nice. HUGE.

crispy tofu + vegetables + spicy sauce. HUGE.

too nice 2 be eaten

everything's reli spicy here. Indonesian food r well known to be spicy. If u can't stand d heat, Pondok Laguna isnt d place for u to be. D place is quite underrated i tink coz d place is reli empty at d time we went. Food is nice and quite cheap as well. Will visit again d nxt time i crave for sth 2 spice up d day. ;)

Well.. how time has fly! Its already d 1st anniversary since my dear friend has left us & d world. Its hard to believe dat it has been a year now. Yet his face n smile is still so fresh in my memory..and i guess i'm speaking on behalf of all his friends and family members..im sure they felt exactly d same..i guess its how he carry himself n d way he treated everyone he knew..

A poem dedicated to dearly beloved Chong..

Setahun sudah berlalu,
Setahun sudah kau bersama Amitadha,
Setahun kau telah tinggal kami

Namun kami tidak melupaimu,
Namun kami tidak melupai wajahmu,
Namun kami tidak melupai senyumanmu.

Pemergianmu tanpa diduga,
Pemergianmu tanpa kata-kata,
Pemergianmu tanpa kerelaan

Semoga kau dilindungi Amitadha,
Semoga kau sentiasa bahagia,
Semoga kau akan sentiasa gembira.

Kami tidak akan melupaimu,
Kami akan teruskan kehidupan ini,
Kami sedar setiap yang datang pasti pergi jua.

[Written by Mr. Tan (Kuchingtown teacher)]
