Bangkok, Macau and Hong Kong

It's always good to have vacation. I've been longing for this holiday for many many months. I visited 3 countries in 2 weeks.

I was in Bangkok from 18 Dec till 23 Dec for cardiology seminar with Joyce (my buddy from Hong Kong), Foong Yan and my boss. It was 3 days event. Spend 2 days shopping with Joyce :)

"Tuk Tuk"

Thai Cuisine-fried grasshoppers, I like fried maggots though:)

High lighted my hair in Bangkok

Joyce and me flew to Macau on 23rd Dec with Air Asia. We spend a night in a five star hotel in Macau. Apart from the casinos and Ruins of the church of St Paul, the accomodation was the best in the whole Macau trip :)

This is where we stayed.

Believe it or not, there's a plasma tv in each of the hotel room.

We took a ferry to Hong Kong on 24th Dec. I spend a fruitful 8 days in Hong Kong. Thanks to Joyce for having me there, provided me accomodation and bringing me around in Hong Kong. It was awesome trip! Here are the highlights of the trip....

Mama Mia

I am crazy about Abba songs recently after watching Mama Mia.I watched the movie twice. Digged out the Mama Mia musical play CD that I bought in Melbourne 3 years ago.Had the opportunity to watch the play in Melbourne.AWESOME!! However, I like the movie more than the play. The actors and actresses in the movie sing better than in the play.My favourite part of the movie is "Dancing Queen" when Donna managed to make the whole village sing and dance with her.It was so cool!! I almost stood up and dance also in the cinema..hehehe...
Highly recommended movie to watch if you like Abba songs or if you're a music lover.

Took after Mama Mia musical play in Melbourne 3 years ago-down to memory lane:)

New Camera- Nikon D60

I have a got another new toy to play around with now. Bought a new SLR camera Nikon D60 yesterday. Being talking about it few months ago, finally I just bought it!Went to a park near my house to learn how to take photo with Nat this morning. She taught me well. Thanks Nat! These are some of the photos that I have taken in the park.

Irene&Shaun-080808

My best friend,Irene got married on the 8th of August, 2008. Will always remember that she got married on 080808. That's end of her singlehood and start a new phase of life.

To Irene and Shaun,

Today's your special day-
the start of both your lives, together.
May it be special in every way
sparked by the love you've treasured
and may all the love you're feeling
still find a way to grow,
sharing joys which have a meaning
that only both of you could know.

May God bless your health
as you care for each other's needs,
may you both share in the wealth
of raising a family,
may your new dreams never end-
we hope they all come true,
and may you always be two friends
who have your love, each day, be new.

Again, today is your day,
with the bond between you strong.
God has shown both of you the way
and placed his love where it belongs
and as you hold on to each other
always keeping your love dear,
know you're blessed both by the Father
and each one of us who's here.

Today two friends start a journey
walking hand in hand, as one
they'll share everything, always
now that their journey has begun
and as they go on together,
blessed by me and you,
may these two friends always treasure
the day they said, "I do." Cheers- Jessie

YES , I DO!!

Joyce-from Hong Kong

Last week was a total fun, meaningful and enjoyable week. A good friend of mine came from Hong Kong and visited me. We have not seen each other for the past 3 years. Her visit to Malaysia was a surprise to me. Got to know her when I did my veterinary practical in New Zealand 4 years ago in Massey University.(fyi,she's a vet too, the competence one :) currently practicing in HK ) Anyway, good to see her again and enjoy her company very much.

Initial 3 days, brought her to my practices. The main branch and the other branch in Hartamas. She assisted me well whenever I have consultations and surgery. Brainstorming me all the times. hehe...exchanging ideas and opinions, learn heaps from her.

She loves Malaysian food and shopping. I took 2 days leaves to bring her around KL for food and shopping. Tried all sorts of Malaysian food and shopped till drop. Definitely tried nasi lemak and D24.

Here are some of the photos of the food that I've ate and she had tried. Sicked for 2 days after that. Definitely overate :)

Nasi Kandar-can't miss that:P

Modified aunty's "Pan Mee" the one and only in Seri Kembangan..hahaha

All the way to try Kajang Satay :)
