Christmas

Christmas is concerning to draw closer yet again. Many peoples said Christmas is only on every 25th of December but for me everyday is Christmas:-) You know why? Because I strongly believe that Christmas is the time to learn by heart of His ultimate purpose and why He came into this world, lives as one of us, and grants us a gift of freedom..

He loves you and me.

I have a few pictures here to share.. They were taken during the Christmas in 2006 at Subang Parade. This is the second time my church invited to perform a Christmas Carols here..

Piling World Championship 2005

“Piling” is one of the toughest match of the day because it is the most excessive games in the world. The First Piling World Championship 2005, was held in Port Dickson Seremban Malaysia tanah airku :-)

The very first contender is Quincy. He and the team tried to get a littler better still to fight with the very best and hope to be able to win the game… but the kind of form he was in, it was certainly very tough to even hope for a positive outcome…

Andy was eventful, as it often happens when two compatriots meet each other. The first round went by quickly and he wonder let go with few points while Ato was in the lead with 21 points or 3 pole. The public and his teammate lifted his spirit at some key moments for the second round.. He seemed to struggle to find a solution to cope with the speed of his opponents..

Ato resembled the first two contenders but the amazing part was to see the speed even gear up and firing up and scoring one point after the other… Finally, he got 42 points with 7 pole. Tired???.. Ato Ato kesian ko jadi mangsa piling ling ling ling...
Anyway, Congratulation sebab menang :-)

Good Job guys!!

Friend's Trip Sabaidee Luangprabang : Vang Vieng Part 2

Part II.."Vang Vieng : Kui Lin in Laos"



We left from Viantiane to Vang Vieng at 11 AM. We stop for lunch time at a small town.




Sorry that I could not remember the name.We had Som tum, Larb and sticky rice for sure..




then we continued to Vang Vieng. The road condition was not so good, But it could be compensated with the beautiful scenery outside the window.






We arrived at Vang Vieng at 14.30 then we went for check into the hotel which took a bit of time. The weather was not cold as I expected..what to do, i only bring the jacket, sweater and scarf!!...haha..kidding la yeah it's not cold at all.

We got a very lovely bungalow with air-con, hot shower (never work) and riverside view...hmmm......Vang Vieng is alongside the Nam Song River which winds its way through a dramatic limestone mountain range...

it's located 160 km north of Viantiane and 180 km south of Luang Prabang.
You can find many guesthouse here, it's cost from 4 USD up to 50 USD. We stay on the middle range at USD 20.







I and Moo tried to practice our bicycle skill, however, it went well...no complained (but after...hahahaa).



Then we start exploring to the small villages near by our guesthouse.Many people said that Vang Vieng is similar to Pai in Maehongsorn, but I have no idea cos never been in Pai before....well, I like it here...mountain view with the river and fresh air....

A lot of farang people and Thais visited at this time. There're a lot of activities that you can do here.You can go for kayaking, tubing, swimming, cycling and chil out with yr friends in the cozy bars. We were cycling round and round...til found the restuaruant for dinner.We didn't do much, only cyclilng cos no time and we were exhausted.

Before dinner time, I and Moo crossed the bridge to visit the small village. They have charged us 6,000 Kiep per person for using their bridge...why not! i can't swim with a bicycle even without, so no choice...hey, how much for 6,000 kiep in THB..think! think!

We saw the children were swiming in the river and throwing a sandball to each other. It's look quite fun actually.

Sandball

On our way to the guesthouse, we stop at the silk shop. Moo got a red scarf for herself and I got a colorful one also

It's peaceful and natural and very relaxing. Unfortunately, I stayed in Vang Vieng only one night. There're many places that I didn't visit this time such as cave and Laos organic farm. In Vang Vieng, they have a lot of pizza shop and European food. I felt like I was standing in Khao Sarn Rd!! We had a pancake with banana. IT's cost 10,000 kiep...think think! how much?

For dinner time, we picked the restaurant which run by Laos owner because the restaurant in our guesthouse was full booking...great!!Anyway, there're lot of places to eat in vang vieng. You can find easily. The environment was great and the food was delicious. We ordered 2 phor noodle,2 Larb, 2 somtum, 2 spaketti....

Friend's trip to Bangkok-Nongkhai-Vientian Part 1

I have received this mail from a friend of mine. She is a Thailander and used to be alip's and my colleague.. She is now working and living in Thailand. If you guys remember the word 'salamapaki'...dia lah ni.. She told me that she spent only RM600 for this trip.. Jom lah cuti-cuti Malaysia..

I have been to Vang Vieng & Luangprabang in Laos last week with one of my best freind 'Moo'.

The place is wonderful, the food is fantastic and the people is so generous and freindly. We enjoyed and liked it so much except sitting on the bus for more than 20 hrs driving on the mountain road!! can you imagine how hard it is! We took the air-conditioner bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Nong-khai.

You can travel by bus from Suvarnabhumi airport to many provinces in Thailand...most of them going to the East.You can check out from this site http://www.transport.co.th/bussuwanapoom_3.asp

After got off from the bus, there're a lot of people at Nongkhai bus terminal that they were waiting for buying the ticket from Nongkhai to Vientian at 7.30. However, there's a line of 50 more people waiting to get on the bus. I was so sure that we never ever get on the bus even sitting on the roof. Can you imagine that!...So what should we do. Suddenly, my beautiful gf use her charm when i was running to find the ticket for going back to Bangkok it's working this time ...thanks Moo I owe you one ;) we met another 7 people who are going to Vang Vieng and stay on the same guesthouse!!! 'This is the destiny'...Moo told me.But I told Moo that 'No, it's a pity of them when they met us, but too late'...555 So we joined them from NongKhai-Vientiane-Vang Vieng trip. They are all Thais, nice people, funny to talk to.

We hired the skylab to send us at the immigation border with our luggages...40 Baht per person they charged. We don't know much about the charging priceBut I think is fair enough cos it took about 15 minute to get there...not so much choices at that time so we jumped on it. About 15 minute for immigration process, we submitted our passport with immigration form. Everything went well, no problem at all...good! We paid another 20 baht for bus ticket to cross the Thai-Laos Friendship bridge and 10 Baht for stepping on Laos land...Yeah, we have to...after passed all the process at the immigration area, we were looking for something to bring us to our destination...Just 7.5 steps from the immigration area. A lot of guys attacking me with this question 'ja pai nai' ...I was looking at them and said that I am thinking...I don't know where to go!!! hahaano it's not...I would like to check the price first. So we end up at 300 Baht for each person (we got 9 persons on the van excluding the driver).

In Laos they drive on the right side, so I had to adjust my feeling a little bit...not get used to it you know. Then they took us to exchange the money. The currency on 23rd of Oct was 1 THB = 245 kiep. We changed 2,000 baht , so how much in kiep...think! think! think! yeah math and me never get along well together, but i tried...hehee ...we had 490,000 kiep with us. The kiep currency is stronger than Thai Baht, so this trip is a bit expensive. Anyway,I became a millionaire in 5 mins..hahaha.. never had this much cash before in my life. After exchanged the money then we went to Talad Sao Mall (morning market) for breakfast. We thought that it's fresh market with more local food, but it's shopping mall that having food center on the 5th floor..feel a bit disappointed. We finished the breakfast around 10 AM then we went to Phra Thad Luang and head on to Vang Vieng....There're 130 km to go, but 4 hrs...

To be continued...
