Claypot @ Hillside

This is my 3rd visits to Claypot..hehe. The 1st time I went with parents. Recommended by a neighbour, so went for a try since it's just near to my house. Also, my parents like to go and try out any new food :p Although they don't really have a lot variety for you to choose from the menu...BUT I believe they put only their best dishes in so that all the food you order will be good enough..haha. AND less choices would be good sometimes as you don't have to spend more time crack your head, decide what to pick from the menu :p wahahaha. They serve all their food in the claypot..umm, maybe not all but most hehe. Aboh why they call it Claypot right..kakakaka.

So, how's the food...I personally think it's good, I like it and my parents like it as well. So far, friends that I brought there like it too :D

So, where is it? It's located at Tanjung Bungah, Hillside. A place where those orang-orang kaya lives..BUT, I don't live there..my house is just NEAR BY..wakakaka. .some taman where ordinary people like me belong to :p OK, the location of Claypot...if you come from town and when you turn in to Hillside..you can see ESSO on your right..just go straight up until you see a junction where you can turn left. Claypot is just at your right..hehe, by the roadside.

Hmm..think of it..I've been gaining weight ALOT since I came back from CR. My pants and shirts are getting more and more tight as day goes by..NOOOOO. Does that means i have to give up those tasty foods???? :( No..NEVER..wahhahaa. Cut down A BIT..maybe..wakakkakaa :p

Lost.......

How is it being lost? How it feels being lost?

you feel empty inside and outside? you feel living without any purpose and target? You feel as if no one understand you? You're thinking and working like a robot? You don't know what you want? You don't really know what you're doing? Empty brain.. empty mind .. empty soul...

Find yourself a path..find yourself want you really want..find yourself a direction...get yourself back on track...

Maxis Broadband SUX

Damn, it sux...and i should have return it within that 1 month!!!

Today is the first time i've ever use it again since i came back from CR. I've been disconnected again and again and again just within one hour BUT the status was still showing as CONNECTED. Shit! I was trying to disconnect and connect it again and again and again. Since morning, i have no idea how many times i've been doing this..uncountable!!! And I've been visiting Maxis for duno how many times since i came back..just to settle the billing problem.

What actually happened then..i bet alot of you who registered for the free 30days trial experienced it. They sent u bill when they have not even come to your house for the installation. It's so true that they are more efficient when come to money. Bill comes first then only installation. So we called them up questioning about this and were told that this is just a standard procedure to send customer the bill and they'll deduct the amount next month. OK then. At first i was planning to continue use it then before i left for CR I asked them to make sure i'll only need to pay after the 2nd month if i am to continue as I wont be in PG for 1 month and they say yes. OK..so I left for CR and when I came back, I wasn't able to connect, my account was blocked. It hasn't reach the 2nd month okie and I received another bill saying i have not pay for the previous balance which they told me will be deducted. Damn it, I started to feel pissed off. So I went to Maxis Centre to question them again on this and asked the person to calculate for me the exact amount that i need to pay..as the installation date was on Feb 28th but they starting to chanrge me beginning of Feb...shit. And you know what, the person said he needs to refer to someone else for this and then will give me a call for it. What the heck, what so difficult to just calculate the bill. So I left and after 1 week still no news from him..and still I received the bill asking me to clear my outstanding balance.

I got really pissed off that I packed everything and went MAxis planning to return everything. Then this time is another lady, she calculated for me and told me i have to pay 188 for installation fee then followed by 68 usage fee per month..THEN around 1 thousand ++ for penalty fees as to break the contract. What the heck!! Heloooo..I thought we're told everything is waived..what ever fees are waived..then she calculated again and said I help to waived something for u and now the installtion fee is 90++...and if I wana avoid paying the 1K++ I would need to continue using for another 15months...SHIT. Now I have no choice but to continue..but I am gonna throw it back to them once I reach the 15months...

I am really pissed off when I am writing this..so, would like to apologize if I sound a little not so polite.. :p But i bet u can imagine that, while writing..u keep DSC... @#$%^@~*%#$@^!%

My name is not 'oi'

How do you feel when people call you 'oi'? No matter they know your name or not...I know a lot people don't like it. But this is not happening to me, it happened to some people around me in the office :p


Well, this is what actually happened that really made one of my peer pretty angry :p Recently there's a new hire and is a she. At first I found she was ok..but later one day when I was talking to one of her team member, she suddenly interrupted with "ei, can u login for me?" ummm, that was not really polite right!!! Well, if you really need to ask help from people, that would make people feel better is if she says "sorry to interrupt, but could you please help me to login?" right. Not that we wana gossip or talk bad about people at the back, but this is not happen to only one person, others felt the same too. And there was also once, where this peer of mine got pretty angry. That peer doesn't really know her and she just said "oi, how to go where and where ah?" Well....

Anyhow, haha..this peer of mine said she's not gonna answer next time if she ever being called 'oi' again because "my name is not 'oi'....she said......

Moody...Depressed

out of a sudden, I feel moody and depressed. It's been a while I ever have this feeling. Is it the workload? or something else....

Not in any mood to do anything today :( I feel lost recently..i don't know why. A friend told me today "when you feel you are lost, it means you are trying to look for what you want now" of course he said it in a more persuasive way..mine is just a summary of what he said.

Looking at all those works really made me sick today...listening to a song reminds me of something again..it really made me sick. Ahh, what do I want? Why am I so negative thinking again....

Who can help me?! me..it's me can help myself....

Tortuga Island

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Island of Tortuga, which in fact is one big Island and 3 smaller ones, is located some 50 miles west of Isla Margarita.
This Island used to be a hide out place for Piratas during the 17th. century, but today it is uninhabited with some fishermen living here in the fishing season. It is a beautiful Island with long white sand beaches and lots of interesting bays and places to visit.
This map was found in the Archivos National de Venezuela, it shows a Dutch fortress from 1668, well protected on the high plain, with its natural harbor in front.
Tortuga has some of the most beautiful bays on the south shore only a few persons have been there. A calm day and a good dinghy is important since there is no anchorages for bigger boats.

In the revolution time with Simon Bolivar, treasures was hidden by rich Spanish families here, in an attempt to save their most valued treasures, many big anchors can be found here and a wooden chest was found there 5 years ago with silver plate by the local fishermen, its the only Venezuelan Island where sweet water can be found in natural caves.

Today it is a deserted island, where a few fishermen lives in the lobster season, specially the southern part of the Island have some beautiful lagoons and landscape, not found anywhere else in the Caribbean..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the description of Tortuga Island i got from the web. It is now one of my favourite place. I have just one word to describe it - AWESOME. I like this island very very much.

Went to this island on one of my weekend in Costa Rica. It took us 8 hours drive to reach the Montezuma Beach :s but in fact we can actually take the shorter path that is the ferry which needs just half of the time :s but our peer in CR said that she would like to show us the peninsular so she took us to the longer path..well...

So, we rent a hotel room at Montezuma Beach as there's no hotel on Tortuga Island unless you wana camp there :p We went for the island hopping at Tortuga Island and I heard it is one the filming location for the TV show "Survivor" wow...

This island really impressed me alot. I had so many first time during this island trip..wahahaha, don't misunderstood okie. The very first time I go for snorkelling..frankly i can't really swim well. But I don't know where did I have the gut..and I just put on the live jacket and 'poom' jump into the deep crystal clear sea, with fishes swimming around. That was really great...

Then the very first time I saw dolphins. I mentioned that before in my previous post..but man, this is really something I won't forget for the rest of my life. As it was really a surprise to see them. we were already on our way back to Montezuma Beach and wana call it a day. Then out of a sudden, our tour guide shouted "see, dolphins" Then all of us started to scream and shout due to the excitement..haha. the dolphins were swimming around our boat..jumping up and down. And the greatest scene was there was one dolphin jumped up high to the sky then dropped back into the sea. While writing I can still remember this scene...its awesome!!!

We took hundreds of pictures during this island trip..haha. Let me share a few nice ones with you.. :)
