Although inner beauty is what’s more important in a person, but appearance is equally important to most people, including myself. I used to have blackhead acne problem during my teenager’s days and I’m really depressed over it. Luckily I found the right facial treatment and product in the end, and I have managed to get rid of them later and keep my face free from the problem up till today.

My brother runs his own business for many years already and he is looking to open up another branch office soon. Renovation work is done and we are now busy sourcing for cheap office furniture in order to keep the overhead as low as possible. We have received many quotations from different companies, and are going to pick the best offer and service we could possible get.

When you eat more than what you need, that means you are storing the excessive calories and it turns into fat eventually. So most often the cause of weight gain is too much of food intake. Many of the diet solutions in the market work as appetite suppressants, which will make you feel full after eating just little food, and then help to lose weight.

When you saw those cheap deals on camera, be sure to find out about the package that they offer, whether it does include any accessories and most importantly the memory cards, and the memory capacity. Some camera shops are trying to attract customer with cheap price but in the end the customers need to top up to get the all other necessary items, which comes up to about the same or even more than the standard package price.

We woke up at 7.30am to have our breakfast (incl in the room) and then we were picked up at 8.30am, and transferred to the pier to board the speed boat.

It took us about 35 minutes to reach our 1st stop – Bamboo island. The sand on the beach is so smooth and the sea is so beautiful. We were the only boat there and we feel like we have the beach all by ourselves, it’s so exclusive.

Our next stop is to Maya Bay, i.e. the film location for the movie “The Beach”. The beach and scenery is nice too but we don’t really like it because it was too crowded, too many tourist there and we can’t hardly take nice photos.

After that we went for the 1st snorkelling stop at Lohsamah Bay. I didn’t go for it, so I stayed on the boat and feed the fish with bread. Next we went to Piley Bay to see the fantastic lagoon, the water is so clear and so green, just like those that you seen on postcards.

Viking cave is nothing much, we only stopped over for photos and that’s it. The cave is a place for birds nests, according to the tour guide, tourist used to go up the cave but because the crowd was too many and it disturbed the birds there so no tourist is allowed to go up anymore.

Around 12.30pm we had our lunch on Phi Phi Don island, this is the only island aroudn here that has restaurants, hotels and shops. Scenery here is not bad but it is also very crowded, so many tourtist and just like a small town.

After lunch we proceed to another 2 snorkelling locations which is th Monkey Bay & Hin Klarng. Again I didn’t go for it but hubby did. The water is so clear and you can see so many tiger fishes there, it’s beautiful.

The trip ended around 4pm and we reached our hotel around 4.30pm. After freshen up, we went to Ruen Mai restaurant near Krabi town for dinner. This is a very nice place with garden settings and the service was excellent. We ordered Seafood To Yum (again!), Green Curry Pork, Chicken with Cashewnuts & Fried Mixed Vegetables. The food portion was good and taste really yummy especially the Tom Yum. The total bill including our beers is about 520baht. Although it’s a bit of distance to come here but I think it’s worthwhile for the good food & environment.

Take a taxi from Ao Nang to Ruen Mai at 60baht per person, most drivers would know but it’s also indicated on the Krabi town Map so you can show it.

(from top left, anti-clockwise) Fried Mixed Vegetables- 70baht, Seafood Tom Yum- 120 baht, Green Curry Pork- 120baht, Chicken w Cashewnuts- 100baht

After dinner, we had a short walk in Krabitown but there was nothing much to see there, so we went back to our hotel for massage. The massage at Sunset hotel is superb, hubby & I went for Aromatherapy full body massage for 1 hour and we pay total 700baht only, you gotta try this too if you are there.

The next day before we check out, we went to the Ao nangbeach again at 7am to take some photos, the beach at this time has a different kind of beauty in it. Overall speaking, this trip is really worth the money and we both had a great & relaxing time in Krabi.

I just came back from Krabi trip with my hubby last Sunday, after spending 3 days 2 nights there.

We stayed at Ao Nang Sunset hotel, the rate is only about RM260 for 2 nights when we booked through Agoda.com, quite a good deal! The hotel is at a very strategic location, just 2-3 minutes walk to the beach, airport shuttle bus stops (150baht per person per way, if you take taxi it’ll cost you around 600baht) just opposite the hotel, with plenty of restaurants & shops nearby.

After we had late lunch, we took a walk to the nearby Ao Nang beach. It was very quiet due to low season, there’s only a few people on the beach, but we kind of like this because it feels exclusive. It is supposed to be the raining season (hence low season) but we were lucky that the weather during our stay was perfect.

There are many tour agents in the area, and many day trip packages to choose from. In the end we decided to go on the Phi Phi Island speedboat tour, which is merely 1000baht per person (normal price 1800baht). Another reason why we like to travel during low season.

We went for dinner after we booked our tour. We walked along the street and came to this place recommended by some of my friends, whcih is called Aree Bar Bar.  It feels special to be having our meal in a “small hut” and there was  only 3-4 tables occuppied, hence the food was served very fast and we could have a quite dinner.

When you walked passed McDonald’s on your left, just go across the opposite side of the road and continue to walk for a while, then you’ll see this place.

We ordered Seafood Tom Yum (of course!), Masamman Chicken, Fried Mushroom & Fried Kangkung, all of the dishes was delicious and I especially like the fried mushroom. Including our drinks, this meal cost us about 400baht.

(from top left, anti-clockwise) Seafood Tom Yum-120baht, Fried Mushroom- 60baht, Masamman Chicken- 80baht, Fried Kangkung- 50baht.

On our way back to the hotel, we bought the Banana Pancake from the street hawker and I’d say you should try this if you are there, it’s yummy and cost only 20 baht per piece. If you don’t like banana, there are more than 10 other variants you can choose from such as egg, chocolate, sesame, tuna etc.

When we were back at the hotel, both of us sit at the balcony chit chatting while drinking beer, it’s so relaxing. We have to rest early as the next day trip is gonna be tiring.

My cousin has just bought a new house and is busy doing the renovation. She is very particular about tiles and hence she has gone to a few showrooms to check out different types of tiles. At last she has decided to install the stainless steel backsplash to her kitchen and bathroom because the patterns look modern and yet durable and practical.

I remember that when I was 18, I was very fat and I really don’t like the way I look. I ate like a horse and I hardly exercise, therefore I took  fat loss pill to control my weight and it works. However, I knew that I cannot rely on this for long term so after I achieved my optimum weight, I stopped taking it and I control my diet to maintain my weight

Ever wonder what does your past generations did and where do they came from? Now there is this new technology called ancestry dna testing which can help to trace back to our paternal and maternal ancestors, and find out their geographic origins. This is really interesting as we are now able to identify our root and understand more about our heritage.

We are trying to sell our apartment unit recently but it was not easy as time is bad and all buyers’ price was not up to our satisfaction. We are not willing to reduce our asking price because we have done some furnishing to the unit, including grill, water heater, ceiling fans & lighting fixtures and we have to sell at a higher price in order to recoup the expenses. I guess we just have to hold on a while to see how it goes.

This is a really really backdated post on Dillon’s sports day, which was held more than 2 weeks ago on 19th April (Sun) at Stadium Badminton Cheras, this year is also the 30th Anniversary for Mayter Kindergarten. I finally got the time to upload the edited video and share with y’all, better be late than never right? hehehe.

Dillon is in Blue House, and he joined the group performance on 3 songs, namely “The Bean Bag Song” (video 1), “Jia You Song” (video 2) and lastly “Music & Movement” (video 3a & 3b).

Given only a short time to practise and reherse, I think Dillon has done pretty ok, at least he didn’t missed out a lot of steps. lol

It makes me laugh every time I look at the video clips, and I hope you enjoy viewing them too. LOL

Dillon participated in “Let’s go bang bang” run and his team finished fourth, despite that, he was very happy when he received the trophy, I guess at this stage, it’s not so important to him if he was the first, so long he get a prize.
