Let’s Drink Milk

Today is World Milk Day!

Two days ago I attend the celebration of World Milk Day with Dutch Lady at Pavilion, KL.

A mirror that makes you look slim! ^^


I went there with two objectives in mind: to meet Amber Chia, and to get my hands on the Dutch Lady Limited Edition Milk Packs.

Objective 1: Completed


limited edition milk packs


Objective 2: Completed.


Okay. Time to head home.


Just kidding. Haha.

The target of the event was to hold the Largest Milk Drinking Event in Malaysia, which would enter the event day into Malaysia Book of Records dated 30th May 2010.

There were a number of celebrities at the event day itself.

Including Reshmonu whom I spotted hanging out in La bodega shortly after.

Within the first hour, 3000 Dutch Lady Limited Edition Milk Packs were given out to the public and students. Promoting and spreading the goodness of milk.

It was pretty amazing seeing over 3000 people raising their milk packs for a toast to making an attempt for the milk drinking record.

the final milk toast


And weird too. LOL


In conjunction with this celebration, Dutch Lady is throwing a contest running from 8th May to 2nd July 2010, giving away cars and even a HOUSE.

All you need to do is to drink milk and collect the packs (bar code) as evidence, fill in the contest forms obtainable from any supermarket that’s selling Dutch Lady milks, send in your application.

And since today is the actual World Milk Day, the celebration will continue till the day ends!

If you’re driving around today, look out for Dutch Lady free milk packs that is distributing at all main toll plazas: North, South, Cental and East regions in Peninsula Malaysia, or high traffic areas in Klang Valley and Kuching.

So don’t freak if someone knock on your driver’s window offering some milk. :p

In the mean time, Happy World Milk Day folks!

We’re both on flats!


PS// I saw her baby bumps.

Still looking good Amber!

World's Longest Place Name - Bangkok

Two years ago I talked about a few fun facts of Bangkok and its funny names for places and buildings.

Bangkok (Capital city of Thailand) used to be known in Thai as Krung Thep (for short)


Given by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, the full name was officially:

"Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit"


It is also listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the World's longest place name.

It's quite a mouthful.

To date, no one I know has manage to speak it out fluently or correctly with or without looking at the words.

Bloody hell. It's harder than memorizing the French Revolution in my high school history!


But! I managed to get a local Thai guide to pronounced this out for me. Here's a video.




Can you say it out in one verse?

My Iphone Stolen

Damn emo day for me.

My Iphone was stolen today at Pavilion while attending the World Milk Day.

It was my own carelessness also la.

But I just left the table for less than a minute before this guy came and "conveniently" took my Iphone 3GS left on the previous table and LEFT!

By the time I realised my phone wasn't with me (which was less than 5 mins since I left it), it was obviously no where to be found.

How do I know? Because the whole thing was captured on CCTV!!

F*ck that bastard.

I hope he rots. I hope the Iphone explode in his face also!

ARGH!!

Damn no mood to blog. :(


Might upload the video of the CCTV when I have the time.

Freaking super emo. It's not just about the monetary value of the phone (don't know about you, but yes the phone is expensive la for me); it's a sentimental phone my baby got for me for our anniversary during our Europe trip together.

It was a UK phone and it was only recently legally unlock from O2. Damn that lucky bastard.

Stupid local telco can't help me trace that fella down (my sim card was active even after two hours after being stolen, I think that person don't know how to switch it off), said unless I work closely with CIA they can't do anything about it. I don't want to mention which telco la, just damn sad la.

Maybe when tomorrow I feel better I will tell more about it.


S.i.g.h.

Chomel~!

We managed to survived countless macet ("traffic jam" in Indonesia) in Jakarta and made it back to KL at midnight last night.

It was a good shopping spree trip for each of us, though I wasn't even intending to spend in the first place, it's hard not to in Bandung and Jakarta.

Especially when you can get your hands on these cool boutique clothes, really unique and creative and obtainable no where else but Indon.

chic me
Bought all these in a boutique (or two) in Bandung. All of us went crazy. Oh, shoe from Crocs, not from indon.


Totally love my purchases. This outfit is SOO ME!

Thanks Garuda Malaysia for sending us there.

South Africa Wild Safari: Dancing with the Lions

Following my previous arrival to the National Kruger Park in South Africa, despite the new's report of an bitten to death poacher by lions, we arrived safely and have separately checked in to our respective villas on the campus.

entrance of kruger park


Kruger Park is designed in such a way that if you're living nearby, you're welcomed to drive in everyday at certain designated hours to roam the safari/park in your own car.

As long as you stick to the road, a few simple rules (like don't run down animals); you do not necessary need a guide to bring you around the whole safari.

Thing is, what fun would it be if you don't stay in the park, live the park and smell the safari-ness of your surroundings, and to wake up every morning at 3am just to drive out to view sunrise like this,

sunrise


Or even to walk the bushes on feet, feel the wilderness under your soles.


It's essential to have a guide, in my opinion, if you're not much of an animal spotter (see that little shadow hiding in the bush?) and you have limited days in Kruger Park.

black rhino hiding


It's not always every time there's animals to be spotted.

More often than not it really depends on how experienced your guide is in tracking down these animals, his network to his fellow colleagues on the walkie-talkie, and of course, your dumb luck.

lioness at night
oh yea. try having a lioness stumbled onto your road every time you want to see one.


And keep in mind that this is the wild, and there will be times you don't see a spec for hours on end.

But so what, enjoy being there, under the moonlight, the vastness of the wilderness out there.

moon


It's the safari for god's sake!

You never know, you might run into something on your way back to the campus at night.

python on the road at night


It also makes spotting a big animal once in a while even more rewarding.

Afterall, you only get to see it here in South Africa or we're only ever gonna watch it on Lion's King movie.

striding
Simba I love you!


It's an enthralling emotion every day.

I'd always knew I would visit the safari one day.

bushwalking


It's like that inking feeling in you that you knew one day you would do something you always wanted to do in this lifetime, because it's part of your dream and also because you can't really afford to achieve that dream right this moment.

blue tip bird


It's always the case, isn't it? The thought: perhaps one day in the distant future, when you're able, financially and time wise, you would take the time off and head out there to explore.

monkeys


And then that one day came when Nestle Drumstick stepped in and fulfilled my dream, I know it's a cheesy line but hey, it's true.

If it weren't for them, no way I'd be standing here, experiencing the most highlighted moment in my life, pinching myself every two hours that I wasn't dreaming. That I was really there!

Whilst still in my twenties!

looking


hippo


To be there and then, exploring the wild and seeking adventure beyond every layer of bush, to be close to these big animals that might not exist in the next few generations.

To be seeing this!

yawn


And this!

big pussy


So close that I could almost touch them, and yet if I do, partial of my limb would probably be detached physically.

Watching wild and endangered species coming out in view in silence.

mommy and baby black rhino
(Black Rhinoceros is critically endangered and might not last till our next generation)


both looking here


The experience made me wanna weep.
(Though I was actually screaming instead of crying)

I even remember this time we spotted a giant spider, bigger than the size of both my palms combined, spewing its web in the bush on one of our bush walk.

big spider


The webs were so strong you could flick a finger on it and it would merely twiddle, like a guitar string.

big poisonous spider


I have studied some of these animals, not extensively, just merely scratching the surface, for as long as I have been aware of helping to keep our endangered animals alive.

You simply could not imagine the excitement and joy in my heart when I was placed next to them. Some of these animals are larger than life, could have easily stomped me to death in one beat, and yet they are threatened by human race to extinction.

african elephant


lion's head


Endangered or not. I am thankful. To be placed in nature's beauty while they roam freely around me. To be in the generation while animals are still in existence. To be there.

panemas


antelope


zebra


South Africa is truly beautiful.
(enchanting if not)

Even on the last day, I was reluctant to leave. It's not easy to depart from all these and return to the jungle city life I know back in KL.

But one day I will be back. I know it.

bush walking in kruger park


Till then, I would keep these memories alive in me.

Goodbye South Africa.


For now.
