Kemaman Still...

Day Two in Kemaman...  It has been a great day...

Tomorrow's agenda, well be going to Kuala Terengganu, the main city in Terengganu, Malaysia.  I will be looking for Batik fabrics to bring back home, to sell and as gifts.  Terengganu is so famous for their top class batiks.  So what did I do today?

I woke up pretty late, at 9a.m and Aiedee stopped by while I got ready.  We went for breakfast at the first established Kopitiam (Cafe) in Kemaman, and the food was delicious.  It is one of the oldest kopitiam in Terengganu and what I love the most besides the food, (we had nasi lemak, two half boiled eggs and 2 buns each) is that the cafe still holds the classic old kopitiam, and it shows character and age of the establishment.  It's really nice.

After that, we went to a salon, Aiedee needs a haircut, while I sat there updating myself about Malaysian artists reading 'Media Hiburan' ('Entertainment Media') magazine.  Not long after that, we went to the Fabrication yard in Kemaman called Kemaman Supply Base, and it is huge.  Five times bigger that the one nearby our office, it even has two phase, one phase specifically for loading out and another phase for fabrication purposes.  Kemaman is a growing oil town...  Almost 60% of the work force now, works in oil and gas industry.  We had lunch with Aiedee's ex colleagues.  Aiedee worked with them before he came to work in Brunei, and he brought them to catch up with them...  

Aiedee sent me back to the hotel to refresh ourselves, while he went to pick his wife up from work.  At about 4pm, Aiedee picked me up and his wife at home and we went to a 'Petronas' mall, called Mesra Mall at Kerteh.  It is huge, but still new, only half of the shops open, but at least I had my starbucks drink finally.  It used to be my ritual to start and end our holiday with a cup of coffee at starbucks...  But I suppose, I need to stop looking back to the old stuff, try new stuff and change my habits...  It is not that I want to, but I had to.

So anyway, we went to McD after that, and I had a big mac... and that went down really well, I'm still full and it is midnight...  Aiedee sent me back to the hotel and at about 9pm we went to Cherating.  Cherating is famous for it's beautiful beach and night life.  But since it is Monday night, most of the cafes and bars are close.  Not long after that, Aiedee called up his good friend, and picked him up and went for a hangout at a cafe which sits beside a river.  It is also Kemaman's Kayak Club...  apparently we could rent kayaks...

Today I took lots of pictures... I will upload them... as soon as I get time to upload them, resize them... 

So anyway, I better go to bed now, tomorrow will be a long day, a long drive to Kuala Terengganu, and many things to buy and see...  A full day ahead...  So must have plenty of rest...

I'm so enjoying my trip, if only Aiedee knew... (He thinks I'm bored...)  I am totally coming here again.... for another retreat...  I will rent a chalet one of these day...

Until then... Ciao' baby!

Random Rant, Update?

-
I don't know why. Here I am at 2.34am drinking left over "teh tarik" from today's open house at my parents. And decided all of a sudden that I wanna write something on my long abandoned blog. I have been clicking on the links that I have at the left side of my blog and it seems that most people have already abandoned their blog, by either cancelling them or not updating them.  I suppose it seems that writing a blog is no longer appealing and cool to some.  There are some that are still strong writing their rants. I am merely speculating, that now media is so easily discover-able that people are afraid to be on the accidental spotlight.  There have been few instances that blogs got discovered by their thoughts and suddenly everyone hates the writer.  And perhaps, again speculating that people are afraid to really say what is on their mind.  Naming and shaming is kindda "in" thing.  Especially with the freedom people can do with Whatsapp.  Just link it, yo

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o
