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.

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.

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。

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 4
What can you do in Genting?
1. 避暑。Genting is around less than 20 degree Celsius. It is more than 1800 m above sea level. So it is good to experience the coldness if you feel hot in the city.
2. Casino. Yes. Many people come here specially to gamble! It has more than 5 casinos and opening 24 hours per day. So you can gamble till drop.
3. Shopping. There are some nice shops around though not the best and as good as KL. Simple shopping are available but I feel the price is high.
4. Theme parks. There are a lot of rides to be experience. Mainly for kids.
5. Food. Many good food there. Fast food, restaurant food, food court food, snack foods, cafe food... Quite a good choice.
6. Entertainment. If you look through the calendar, you might be lucky and some of your favorites artistes or groups might be there performing. I end up watching a performance called Freeze. A ice skating performance with magic...

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 3
As I only in Genting for a day, I wanted to stay at First World Hotel. But a visit to Tripadvisor, first 10 latest reviews 都给与超烂评价。So I decided to stay at Maxims Genting which has a rather good review. Is it good? Lets see.
Room:
The hotel seems recently done an overhaul cos it seems pretty new to me in the interior. I stayed at their Premier Room and was quite happy with the room size. The room view I got is looking at a low building roof. But the sky clears up, you get to see the the Pagoda of nearby temple and KL tower and Petronas twin towers (need to zoom using camera etc..). The bed is from Simmons and it very comfortable. The pillows are very good too. You get complementary bottle waters, newspaper and fruits. However, there is no free wifi in the room.
Bathroom:
The bathroom is of a very good size. The bathtub is on right hand side and the toilet bowl and bathing cubicle is on the left hand side. It has a nice rain forest shower and two basins for you and your partner. The bathroom amenities are packed nicely in a pouch. The bathing amenities are from Aigner. The towels are of good size.
Services:
The service need to brush up. When I arrive at the entrance lobby, nobody seems to care to help with my baggage. The staffs at the counter speaks pretty good English and friendly. The check in is pretty easy. I was asked to take a seat the couch and was given a hot welcome Chinese tea which is a nice touch due to the cold weather. Check out is equally quick at the same place. Many staffs at the door are more interested in chatting among themselves. The staffs over the breakfast area are also stingy on the smiles. They also lack of knowledge when ask where to take bus to KL.
Overall, I feel the hotel is quite good just that staffs might need to be trained more. Location is pretty ok as whole Genting resort is linked up. So walking to anywhere is easy. Just that you need to walk a bit longer to main shopping area, fast food and theme park.

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 2
The first day I went to Genting first. It is about N years ago since I went to Genting. So this is why I decided to go to Genting on the first day of my 大马游。I stayed at Maxims Genting Hotel.
So how do you go there?
1. Took a plane to KLCC.
2. Took a Airport Express (RM35) to KL Sentral.
3. Take a Genting bus (~RM10) to Genting.
But I did not do item 3 as I was there at 10am and the next bus is 12.30pm! So instead of 3, I
4. Take a Genting taxi (~RM25 per pax, min 4 ppl to go) to hotel.
There is a Genting taxi company just beside the Genting bus counter. It need 4 ppl before the taxi will go. If you only have 2 ppl, you have to wait for other ppl to take with you. If not, you need to wait for 45 mins and then if still no ppl, you just need to pay RM25 per pax and the taxi will still go. The best thing about Genting taxi is that it can just alight at whatever place in Genting. The journey took about 1 hour.
So how is Maxims Genting Hotel? 下回分晓

四川豆花 make my wobby...
Last week went to 四川豆花 at UOB for dinner. Dunno what did I eat, after that I feel a bit not well. Stomach like bloated. Then guess what? Next day, I vomited 4 times!!! Woah!!!! Any way, the ambience is not as good as China Club. It is pretty crowded and noisy. Populated with a lot of Japanese! Surprisingly..
