Online shopping for the first time

Finally I received the backpacks I pre ordered! And this is the second time I online shopping.


Let me share my first experience with you.



This is the parcel I received two weeks ago from cute4ushop .Inside it are 4 tee shirts.

My confession: This is my first time to do online fashion shopping.

It’s kinda shocking when I received an email from the shop day after I paid, told that my orders are delivered to my place safely. LIke this, I confirmed my order on Tuesday morning, paid in the afternoon, and my parcel was already here in my place on Wednesday noon, all the way from Selangor to Terengganu. Wow…fast and efficient!


This is my second parcel.


I pre ordered two fancy colorful backpacks from 1shoppe.net on the same day I ordered my shirts. As there is no ready stock, so I was asked to wait for one month. I’m extremely happy about it when I received the email told that my bags are delivered. It arrived way earlier than expected!! It’s surprisingly faster delivery!


See the packages! That’s a large one~ The HEPA officer wonder what’s inside when I pick up my parcel. Haha~



I gonna bring either one of them together with me for my next vacation!! Uhmm…red or blue?

Life for share @ A lemon a day, keeps the toxins away!

For a better health and to lose weight naturally, I drink lemon water twice a day as I have not enough “stock” of lemons for every day need.


Why I like lemon water?


Number one, lemon helps detox to help me throw out something every morning.


Number two, its refreshing taste makes me drink 2 liters of water. Lemon juice just simply tastes perfectly good!!


Number three, heard that it helps weight loss and whitening skin! (maybe) 


After a month I’m into this practice, constipation problem is getting better, and I really drink plenty of water.


But my weight is still the same. Don’t laugh, at least maintain right?!


So I seek for another ways for weight loss. Then I found this.


It reported as a very successful weight reduced diet. It names Lemon Detox Diet aka the Master Cleanse, which also allows the body to cleanse toxins and helps to lose weight. This diet was strongly promoted by the sexy diva Beyonce. She lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks!!!!!!! * wu-nya-boh? *


The main ingredient is lemon juice, maple syrup, and paprika. Mix all together with water and drink it! Urghh…the most important reminder is no solid food for at least 7 days! It is very tough larr just like fasting…must have a very strong mental power to do this! Okay, maybe I will try this after the vacation, after Hari raya, after semester break….(hehe, it’s like never ending)


I think I better stick to the simple lemon juice diet first!


Very cheap investment only, all you need is a lemon and some water. Take some time to cut and squeeze the lemon. Then you have a refreshing drink with plenty benefits!!

A lemon a day, keeps the toxins away!

Lemon is now my very best friend =) mmmmuakkkkkzz

Short trip to Kota Bharu ; )


When talk about Kelantan, what is the first thing come to your mind?


Tik-tok-tik-tokkkk… Okay TIME’S UP!


Wayang kulit? Gasing? Batik? Wau? Museum? Buddhist temples? Coconut trees?


Haha.. sorry to tell you that there will be no such things in this post, except the coconut trees!! That’s a Friday and it’s weekend holiday for Kelantan. Many places are closed.


Last weekend, I went to Kota Bharu aka KB, the capital of Kelantan, to visit a very old friend of mine which we know each other since 7! Gosh…It’s already 15 years!! He is the only friend from the same place who studies in east coast. I’m in Terengganu while he is in Kelantan. I’m doing food science, but he is in medical school, USMKK.


TAH-DAH!! Introducing NICHOLAS ONG : )




He likes KFC and ABC. He likes anything end with C…such as Pharma-C, Teh-C, Vitamin C, OCBC, ICAC, PWTC……hahaha…just kidding!!


I took a bus and head for KB right after finished blood sampling in the afternoon. I should step down from the bus at Terminal KB but I didn’t due to some funny incident. So Nic picked me up at the terminal with a very “auspicious” name, Langgar!! Choi~


When I saw Nic, I was like wow…I travel for 3 hours to come here to visit you, man! The feeling of meeting a buddy in a place I never been to is so marvelous~ I wonder where the hell I got this bravery to come here alone huh?


USMKK is the place I stayed. The campus is big, but the hostel is just so-so. UMT hostel is better than that. Fuhhh…finally has something better than the others. Special thanks to Nic’s friend, See Pei who is willing to “adopt” me and share her bed with me. She is very conversable, we chat a lot although we just know for a short time.


Nic and friends brought me for dinner, explored KB town and then to KB mall.



Chicken chop as main course while Rainbow as dessert~



My new friends Christina, WanYi, BaoLing (I don’t know how to spell…hehe) and the photographer, Juon is missing! They are all very nice and easygoing =)

KB is full with shopping centers and restaurants. That’s so great for a shopaholic and gluttonous person like me!! They asked me why I want to go to KB mall, I said I want to check out how thin is the wall~ haha! Do you remember the freak accident that happened at KB Mall? A car hit the wall and plurged from the roof top parking area into the mall..



Well I forgot about the wall after I stepped in the mall because it was too great for a girl who stays for years in KT!!! Arrrhhh…how I wish there’s a KT mall like this in KT. I don’t wanna talk about it anymore! Jealous jealous~




Kelantan is a state with majority residents of Muslims and the state government is different from the other states. Their culture and rules are kinda conservative and different. I found some interesting things here.

We normally see quick counter and normal counter. But this time is Female-only Counter, Male-only counter, and Family-counter. And every signboard must come together with Bahasa Jawi. Very unique Kelantan, isn’t it?!



The next morning, we departed to Rantau Panjang with new friends, NianJie, ahKit and WeiMing. These 3 guys are real funny enough to make me burst into laughter for the whole journey. I’ll tell you more about them later.

Rantau Panjang is a duty free shopping zone situated about an hour away from KB. I think I could shop longer if I bring along my umbrella! The sun is too bright too hot ~ Nic and I ended our shopping spree with new shoes!!YEAH : )



We passed by a unique building on the way back.
When we see this gate, I’m sure 99% of us will say this is a temple!


NO no no! It’s not a temple~ It’s actually a mosque, Masjid Jubli Perak aka Masjid China. This is the first ever unique chinese-style mosque I see in my life~ Mmm...TTI should build one monument of this!



I totally agree with Nic’s statement: Do not judge a book by its cover!

WeiMing brought us to his secret place where he used to himself there with his lover.



Nah, coconut trees! Haha. That’s PCB, Pantai Cahaya Bulan, one of the popular beach in Kelantan! His “secret place” is actually another side of PCB and it’s considered as the private beach of a resort. Somehow, I don’t think PCB is a nice beach. Pantai Tok Jembal or Pantai UMT is better than it larrr! Yay..another credit to UMT!




The guys are having fun with those commando-liked games beside the beach! While I can only do this~





Now introducing my new friends!


Pink WeiMing aka Pu-jie (Nic started this first) is the very dangerous guy from Kedah who has a built-in ultrasonic detector!! He can hear what I whisper! OMG! Not much to say about Yellow Nic who like everything that ends with C, so we just skip larrr. Grey NianJie is the Muar guy who will keep silence when he’s hungry and poor him always get bullied! Blue ahKit is the Ipoh guy who taught me some new lame “terms”. Yes, real lame! All of them encourage girls to eat chocolate!! *thumbs up*


Before I leave the town, they brought me to an outlying town for Thai cuisine. There’s a wut opposite the restaurant. And the restaurant was right beside a railway. This small place is very peaceful with small number of people. I forgot what’s the name, uhmm…



I actually wanna lay on the railway, but I don't know why I didn't


So I left KB and say goodbye to all my new friends at 8pm. Nic said this is the first time he sent a friend off at bus station, plus in a raining night! Haha : )

I felt very energetic on that night. So once I reached KT, I called my friend Rocky to pick me up and we went McD for supper! Wahahaha…fat fat fat~ played with his IPhone’s GPS to go home. Suprisingly, his GPS speaks Cantonese!!! Orz




Everything is back to normal now! Go to lecture as usual, do assignments as usual, eat same food at same stall…but there’s another new exciting days recorded in my journal. And I got many new friends of future doctors!!

Wish them luck, wish me luck!! Bonne chance!

ps: Next time i come again for Tumpat and Pantai Irama okay Nic?

Let's go TTI

If you ask me where and what am I doing now, I will say I’m currently studying in Kuala Terengganu (I called it KT) , but actually the university I’m in is located in a small town which is 30 minutes away from Kuala Terengganu.


I went KT by car, by van, by motorcycle…but this time is different. I hopped on a unique KT town bus, the “Park-bus”, and had a short tour in KT.


Why I called it the “Park-bus”?? Because the seats are park benches, with traditional wood carvings and its roof is like typical Malay house. Very special isn’t it?


And you can sit in whatever position you want to.






I called my “samseng” friends to join me to try this interesting bus trip.


After 40 minutes, we finally reach McD. Hop off and bought a value meal, then hop on another “Park-bus” and go home.



The journey end!






Erhem…….THAT’S NOT INTERESTING!!


Hahaha!! Just kidding lar! Don’t shoot me~


Okay now I tell you about the whole journey.


It all started when I spontaneously suggested go to Taman Tamadun Islam (TTI). I went there two years ago with my ex-roommate, by this special “Park-bus”. (You may click here and read) During that time, the bus was FOC and will only bring visitors from Dataran Shah Bandar to some attractive places by using route C-01 and C-02. Now, the bus is bringing people to more places, including the area I’m living and studying, UMT, by route C-03! But no more FOC, it’s RM1 for one way each route. Damn cheap~



Dear UMT students, If you wanna go to all attractive landmarks of KT, RM6 can make your wish become true!! (For transport only)


TTI is the first Islamic edutainment theme park in the world. TTI monument Park comes with 21 replicas of famous mosques and great Islamic monuments that replicate the Islamic arts and architectures. Just pay Rm15 for entrance and enjoy a RM3 rebate for meals.


We went at the wrong time. It started to rain when we enter the park. WTF WTF…
We waited, we tried to get a shed under Mosque of Mohamed Ali, at last we gave up and decided to explore the monument park in the rain! Woohooo~




Have you heard about the story about Taj Mahal of India?
Taj Mahal was built by the 5th Mughal king Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, as a symbol of his eternal love for her. And now I’m standing in front of Taj Mahal…….monument~


Let me show you some great monuments in the park.


Left: Kul Sharif Mosque of Russia.
Right: Kalyan Minaret of Uzbekistan. (Errr…where it is?)


Left: Mosque of Mohamed Ali of Egypt
Right: Al-Haram Mosque of Mecca of Saudi Arabia


Suleyman Mosque of Turkey


Great Mosque of Samarra of Iraq (look like a cake)

Besides the monuments, there are also playground and rides for kids.


After visited all the monuments, TTI verified us a complete visit. But actually I missed out the China mosque and our National Mosque, too bad!




Undeniable, those monuments displays are really very wonderful. This is a very good experience to widen my vision, although I’m not a Muslim.



Then we headed to Crystal Mosque.

The Crystal Mosque is another attractive icon of TTI, and even Kuala Terengganu. Umm, I don’t feel it is nice this time, maybe because of the cloudy weather, not much reflection of sunshine on the glass, hence no crystal-like image.



So, we finished our exploration of TTI and hopped on the last bus from TTI to Shah Bandar, and take another bus to back home.


Everything goes smooth, until we saw this!!




OMG~ NO BUS ALREADY!! Cannot go home! but we already bought the 2 way ticket. How?!!...Die lor~


Not really! “Samseng” girls like us continue our walk to Istana Maziah, the royal palace of Terengganu King, and Masjid Abidin aka Masjid Putih. This mosque is known as a mosque without any pillars. I don’t know whether is it true, but it’s really WHITE~




NO bus no need to die, just get a cab! Show your money, then everything will be fine!


5 hours short trip, spend RM19 to go to so many landmarks of KT ( Ohya I skip the State Museum aka the largest museum in South East Asia because I went there years ago~) What can I say?


The state government of Kuala Terengganu City, you did a good job!

Say NO to Blue....Bear

I don’t want to talk about this at first. But I changed my mind after some friends of me asked me about it.


Staying in hostel has its good and bad. One of the very inconvenient is no internet connection in the room. Although we can use wifi in open café, it’s very unstable and sometimes can’t even grab 1kb. So I wake at 3am in the morning, go to the café and surf till the sun rise.


Yes! I know it’s very unhealthy.


So I decided to subscribe to Celcom Youth Plan for broadband access and I get one from PC Fair. I should be using the broadband right now to surf freely, to chat day and night, to blog whenever I want to write, to update with happenings in the world...and to GOSSIP






No, I’m NOT!!
This stupid Celcom don't want me to be their customer!


Day after I subscribe to it, i couldn’t connect. So I phoned Celcom Careline and told that my account is not activated yet.


So I waited for another 24hours, still couldn’t connect...while my friend who subscribed on the same day had accessed it since the first day. Then I phoned the dealer, told that the system is fine and should be perfect. He asked me to check the SIM card. How lucky I am to see this message “SIM card is not verified”


So he concluded that he gave me a damaged SIM card "unintentionally" and asked me to get a replacement from Celcom centre.


Searching location via Google map, asking friends around where the hell is Celcom centre, finally I got it.


Celcom lady said: " Cannot give you a new SIM card because the old one is okay"
Dealer man said : “ Err..SIM card should be ok, I think the antivirus software you use block it already la, you try to remove your antivirus”


This is really pissed me off and it's a very stuuuupid solution!


I asked the man : “ So now you say the SIM card is ok, then why yesterday you told me you gave me a damaged one UNINTENTIONALLY?! And now you blame it to the antivirus I used, that’s ridiculous, I can’t accept this excuse! ”


Then I throw the phone back to the Celcom lady. After a little argument between both parties and checked the system, finally they found the problem. That’s the dealer’s fault. They registered a wrong SIM card. Now the lady replace it with a new one. I should be happy right??!


No, I’m not AGAIN!


Day after I insert my new SIMcard, still can't access the connection.
Damn stupid Celcom!


Call Celcom Careline again, told that “Your request is in process, please be patient and wait for some hours”


Ok fine. Nevermind...


So I "patiently" waited for another 24 hours, and I tried at KL and Anson, but still not work!!


With anger, I walked out to Celcom centre in Anson and asked for termination. This customer service representative told me that both SIM cards which assigned to me are invalid, which means the dealer man registered a wrong one at the first time, then the Celcom lady in KT registered a wrong one for me, too!


Damn it!! what stupid system was this?!


"wa...like this also can ar? What are they doing actually?"
"They are CARELESS!"


She tried to convince me not to terminate and promise that I can use it right after another new SIM card replacement.


Then I told her: “This is the 6th day I subscribe to your company’s broadband, I get nothing from you but troubles. I don’t think I want it anymore. I can’t afford to another CARELESS mistake. Please terminate it and return me the registration fee. ”


I am really disappointed with Celcom broadband service. Not to mention about the speed or data transfer rate, but the customer service is real lame.


Although hostel’s wireless service is unstable, but still it is better than nothing to go online…should appreciate it~


So the fancy modem stick is not with me anymore. What left with me are the gifts I get when I subscribe to the plan.



Who want? Just drop me a message!
