As I am dying for chee cheong fun(rice flour noodle).........I drove myself 20 minutes downtown to Brickfields for my favorite chee cheong fun as supper. The mobile ccf stall is located along the Jalan Tun Sambathan 4. ( located in front of the entrance to YMCA parking). The uncle is still using the charcoal to boil his fish ball, 'fu chuk', tauhu,egg, sotong, kangkung & etc inside a big pot. Why I like this stall so much? Firstly the sesame in this stall is full of aroma. Secondly the sweet sauce and chily sauce is fabuluos. Thirdly this stall resembled the one I had during my kid's life in the Jinjang area. Almost every night I will wait outside my grandmother's house and waiting for the ccf aunty. The taste of the ccf is still very much intact inside my brain!
"you cannot miss this stall which is located just opposite the YMCA parking entrance" #this photo is courtesy of thestaronline.com
" It's as good as it looks.....70 cents per piece"
Remarks:- It opens around midnight till early morning. However if you want more choices go earlier. I just hope that this uncle will pass his business to someone else so that I can continue to eat my favorite ccf here for a long time.
Even wonder what is it all about, I joined my group of friends on an outing at the skytrek located inside Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam. I was more than anxious to know what is awaiting me ahead and I am all out to prove that height is not a fear to me!! The tallest point in the track is 17 meters high (approximately 55 feets)
"starting point for the whole adventure" # I am f#$%ing tired and I am glad i did it
" it might looks difficult but if I can do it everyone can...hahaha"
"one of the many obstacles awaiting you"
"walk over it and conquer your own fear"
"one of the more difficult fear factor style obstacles through out the track" Remarks:- it was a great experience for me all together. nevertheless height is not a fear to me!for u all out there who are yet to try it out........please do so!! All of the fun, adventure & experience cost you only RM35 per person.

Remarks:-after tonnes of food & beverages we consumed in Guangzhou I must admit that we are spoiled with too many variety of foods and drinks. Nevertheless their service in the F&B industry is far more efficient, advance & huge than ours. I am still left with one question......where is the best "dim sum" in Guangzhou? I tried 2 but still feel that the standard is just so-so. I do enjoyed my trip so much with my 3 others buddy! Life is great......cheers...:)
REDS vsYellows vsBlues ........the question remain unanswered! The political crisis in Thailand is on its way to the final showdown. The openly criticized and millionaire fugitive Thaksin is on a run around the world as reported by the biased local media. Some reliable pro reds sources reported that Thaksin is hiding in Cambodia right now. The once most powerful man in Thailand is battling hard with the pro gov, privy council, his enemies in politics and the "hidden hand"! The black songkran on the 13 of April has significantly tarnished the image of Thaksin & his hardcore red's supporter. They are labelled as rioters, extremist & to some mobster being hired by Thaksin himself!
However....what about the PAD???? The PAD seiged the airport and their action is devastated. The PAD seiged the government house for months but all their illegal actions are left unpunished! Why the yellows are left unpunished? The answer is simple....they put abbisit in power and without them the Democrats cannot come into power! Yet now PAD want to register itself as a new political party....that's strange.......how can rioters become a leader? The abbisit government is obviously practicing a double standard in handling the issue related to the yellows. There are just too many uncertainties for the Thai's people right now.
How about rising force of the blue led by the infamous Newin once close aide to Thaksin. The assassination of a PAD founder has deepen the already wounded Thailand.......who is the man behind the mafia style assassination? Why the investigation into this case is never fully reveal to the public until today? Can Abbisit hold on to the power till the end of the year? There are just too many questions & doubts in Thailand now.......the hidden force remain out there and playing their cards triumphantly while Thaksin is looking for a perfect way and the best time to fight back hard to win......Newin is looking sure to be an opportunist and waiting for the right time to attack for his own interest...while PAD is surely looking for something more than just a watching eye for the Thai people. PAD is having their own agenda, they are hunger for power, status & of course money. After all that's what all politician dying for.
The Reds will rally on together with their local hero & icon Mr.Thaksin and fight for their so called "democracy"! The people of Thailand are suppose to be protected and not to be manipulated for own interests & agendas! The future for Thailand is looking bleak now...the battle is no where near its end..... andThaksin will fight till his very last bath! In the mean time Abbisit will try to hold on to power as long as possible! No matter what happen at the end the..Thais has suffered massively and the damages done would need a very long time to recover. Perhaps the answer to all this would be "greed".

Chiang Mai is the largest city of the northern Thailand. Chiang Mai means "new city" in Thai....is located about 10 hours drive (700kms) from Bangkok or 2 hours 45 minutes flight from Kuala Lumpur. The city was built by the late King Mengrai 1296 to become the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. A city which is so vibrant yet laid back is a perefect place for leisure & fun seekers like me. A heaven for coffee lovers, a paradise for shoppers and a perfect place to hunt for the best ever food available. My favorite hotel in Chiang Mai must be no others than Boonthavon Court just a stone throw away from the infamous Thapae Gate. The hotel is perfectly located and best of all it is just a 2 minutes walk to the famous Sunday Walking Street in Ratchadumnern road. For tourist Chiang Mai is ready to offer you at least a dozens of attraction to keep you busy for at least a few days. Some of my favorite's photo's are as follow :-
"my favorite band in Chiang Mai...the lady singer can sing the unplugged version of' because of you' as good as Kelly Clarkson"
"My favorite's dining place in Chiang Mai :- maze cafe"
"my favorite dish:- fried instant noodle with crab"
"great German fried pock knuckles and international cuisine" "An all guys Valentine's dinner in 2008 at Jia Tong Heng Chinese Restaurant" "cheap & quality Thai style buffet steamboat (chumpae nuekata)"
"this is it Thai BBQ Steamboat all for 120bath per person" "this is the best beef noodle I've found in Chiang Mai"
"whatever you prefer they have it all inside here!!"
