Hainan Trip

Went to Hainan lately. It is quite boring actually.

Some observation.

1. Haikou. Nothing much to do except eat and shop. Quite a few shopping malls but not very cheap.

2. Sanya. Nice beach but town area got nothing which is quite surprising.

3. The taxi system or tourist bus system cannot make it. Some areas like Nan Shan basically you need to hire a car. No taxi service at some high speed train stations.

4. The people there still cannot make it.
Eg.
1. A well dress young lady just cut queue all the way at the taxi stand. Dun even feel embarrassed. CMI.
2. Taking very loudly in public area like quarreling.
3. Spitting everywhere
4. A young mother goes crazy with her daughter in the train.
5. Taxi driver just stop and pick up passenger even though he is ferrying other guests.

Etc...

But of cos there are some nice people. But not nice ppl too many. So they still have a long way to go...

Is it worth visiting? I feel nothing much. Can skip.

Lousy carpark design

If you park at those public multi storey carpark, you will find some of them have flawed design. The pillar is just position next to the car door if the car is reversed park. It blocked and the space is too small. The pillar should position much in front nearer to the car bonnet instead! Lousy design.

Mad Women!

Was eating at Canteen and two mad women sitting beside me starts to fight! Then they throw food and utensils at each other!! Lucky I shifted myself quickly. Just my luck. But interesting to see such thing. Brighten up the day. Haa!

Weight Managment Success!

I have been using a calories counter apps to track what I eat. After using three months, I have successfully cut 5kg! Haa! Easy to use and painless. Best of all, it is free!

I am looking at those ads on slimming center, slimming pills etc.. Nearly tried that. But end up did not cos I find them useless. So I am thinking no need to waste such money. Just track what you eat can liao.

Yes. You still can go for your french fries etc.. But it is how you management them. I still eat buffet, ice cream etc.. So dun get me wrong thinking you cannot eat those things.

COMEX 2012

Just back from COMEX. Wanted to get a new digital camera. Haa. I know. My current one is still very good. That is why I am holding back to buy a new one. Anyway, I am eyeing on Olympus E-PM1. I find it pretty interesting. Maybe I wait till next year. A better model out to replace it?

魔戒之旅 - How much do I need?

Depends on what you intend to do etc.. Let me give you some idea.

1. Air Ticket: SIA promotion price to Chrictchurch ~ S$1100.

2. You definitely need to self drive. A Toyota Highlander is about NZ$100 per day. This exclude insurance and things like GPS etc.. Petrol is about NZ$2.3 per l.

3. NZ$10-20 per meal.

4. Hotel is about NZ$100 to 200 for normal motel.

魔戒之旅 - Is it fun?

Is 新西兰 nice? I went to the south island and it is extremely beautiful! The weather in Aug is near to end of winter. So it is not as cold as July but still cold.
 

魔戒之旅

I am back from New Zealand. One word to describe: Beautiful!

My Penang Trip

Last week went to Penang for 3 days.

1. Stay:

G Hotel. Location quite good. Just besides Paragon and Gurney Plaza. Food center is just down the road. Traders Hotel I feel should be good also.

2. See
Kek Lok Si for the Giant Guanyin statue. Penang Hill for the birds eye view of Georgetown. Now also have a food center on top. Wat Chayamangkalaram for the sleeping Buddha.

3. Eat
Local food in food center is the way to go.

4.Transport
Cab does not run meter and the price is pretty standard. No way to bargain. But they will try to ask u to use their service like 3 hours for RM$100 which I feel no point unless the place you go is really out of town. Cos I feel 3 hours is a bit rush. If you have more people, can charter a mini bus for about RM40 per hour. Public bus service is also not bad and frequency quite ok and reliable. About RM1.40.

Star Awards 2012 Postmortem

I feel the awards generally are ok with the exception of Joanne Peh winning best actress. I feel she won cos Mediacorp wants to 捧 her. I have seen all performance. The weaker two are actually Rui En and her. The rest are actually have a stronger performance. Well, it is just a game. 自己玩的开心就好。
