The Desert Story

Today my dear good old friend Diane told me a story, the story keeps lingering in my mind and it keeps me thinking for awhile....

Here the story goes:
A young lady was found in the desert, she was dead, naked & ignored. She body was lying on the bed of hot desert sand... Many passes by, but no one was kind enough to help, all of them chose to just ignore and walked away..... Then finally came a young man, who at least showed some sympathy and help covered her body with papers, then moved on with his journey..... A second man came by, out of sympathy, he took off his own clothes and put it on her naked body, then we walked away. It took quite awhile until the 3rd man came by, he took a great sympathy on her and dug up a deep hole on the ground and buried her.

The 3 men & the young lady met and fell in love in their later lives.... The young lady met the 1st man and they fell in love instantly, they were together for 1 year before their relationship ended... She was devastated, then someone special appeared and they fell in love. Things were doing great, they were happy and started planning for their future and looking forward to it. Everything was fine until 1 fine day, their dreams shattered the 2nd man walked out of her life, their were together for 3 years.....

After the 2 painful love journeys, she fall out of love for a long long time and thought she would never find her true love.... She went on with her life alone..... It was a lonely, hard journey on her own, but she just kept moving on. When she least expected, someone came along, they fell in love and of course, they got married......

-The End-

It is kinda hard for me to put in out in words right now as my mind is stuck. What this story is trying to tell is, there are cause & effect in life.... In the past live, 3 men has helped her out but the 1st two were just destined to be the passerby in her life.... When the time it's up, they moved on..... It takes a few rough journeys to actually reach the final stop, to find the right person, the other half.... Just keep moving......

Yuck, It's Worms & Grasshoppers For Lunch!

All sorts of weird things & food can be found in Chatuchak (J.J) Weekend Market in Bangkok.

Today when i received Lupie's comment, i felt really bad and decided to update my soon-to-be-dead Cazzy's Blog..... I've been MIA again as usual and my reasons & excuses remain the same as how i would normally story you guys! Hehehehhe......

Ok, what i have been up to? Oh such a long story and don't know where to start..... Let's start off with my most recent updates then.
*this is going to be a short update only & stay tune for more to come*

Why Bangkok dangerous?
I am sure all of you have heard of the riots & political tension in Bangkok City & Pataya of late, the red-shirts have gone crazy & gotten violent. Causing all the tensions, confusions, depressions & fear of the Thai people & tourists right now. Yes, it is indeed really sad and referring to today's news, it is reported that 70 were injured & the situation has gotten from bad to worst!

The news is, I JUST GOT BACK FROM BKK on yesterday (*sweat*) safe & sound! lols.... When i was there, the whole situation was BAD and the has gotten WORST on the day i left the country (yesterday). It is a long story and will further blog about it in my upcoming posts.


In front of MBK, street was rather quiet without much traffic & jam in the evening. Where are all the people???????????????


Arrived Bangkok on 8th April with Mom, Dad, Baby Bro & David and came back on the 12th April (only me, Dav & Jason).
The main purpose of the trip is to attend my beloved cousin brother's wedding (Bobby) in Bangkok + a short holiday for SHOPPING!


My cute lil cousin's wedding in Bangkok (a wedding luncheon)

Me riding on the ferry, crossing the famous Chao-Praya river to the nearest BTS station. (Free service provided by the condo management to Baan Chao-Praya residents)

Ok i know i've gained weight over 2 months time, especially my 5 days BKK holidays! In total, i put on 4Kg over 2 months time & i am so going to fast till i slim down!

Ok guys, there shall be more updates which i promise! Stay tune ya and let's chat-n-chew again soon!

Valentine in Gold Coast!

Potato: Meowchye, have you been to Gold Coast before?

Tomato: Nope never, why? You wanna bring me there???

Potato: Sure, small matter and let's go celebrating Valentine Day in Gold Coast.

Tomato: Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, let me check out the flight tickets and schedule!

Potato: Oh we don't need that, we are going to drive there on Valentine Day.

Tomato: HUH??????????????

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahahha, i got cheated by Dav! Oh well, technically he didn't lie and indeed he brought me to Gold Coast for our Valentine celebration..... It's Sepang Gold Coast that he is referring to and i thought he meant Gold Coast in Australia. -____________-

I have not heard of Sepang Gold Coast before, didn't know it even exist! David wanted to celebrate this special day in a non-commercial place,where we will not be slaughtered on that day (having pay double for the meals), a place with beautiful scenery and somewhere we can relax and enjoy the special moment together......

Didn't know what to expect actually, but really excited!!





Picture time!!!




~~~Off we go & Gold Coast here we come~~~




Assisted by my best friend 'Garmin'.
With my best friend around, our journey became as easy as 123!




After an hour drive and we arrived at destination!!
Before heading to the restaurant, we went checking out the beach and took some pictures.




Welcome to Sepang Gold Coast! Why fly when you can drive??




Nice white sandy beach....

Look at the water chalets behind me, it has taken the idea of palm tree water chalets of Dubai, but this is a mini version. It is currently under construction and should be completing in 1st quarter of 2010. According to Dav, the room charges are ranging from minimum of RM1000 to RM4000 per night!! Don't you think it is costing too much?? This ain't Australia Gold Coast leh!


The Lake




Romancing & having fun.....




When potato meets tomato = an all rounded cute couple



Botak Dav & Cazzy




Hold my hands and walk me through ups and downs,
together we create the future & happiness.


We spent 20mins at the beach and went nursing our hungry stomachs after that......
Dav booked a table for 2 in a steamboat restaurant nearby the beach. I seriously did not expect much as at the back of my mind, the impression i had is some kampung area at the beach with seafood stalls.

But Sepang Gold Coast really took me by surprise, especially the place where we dined.


Parked our car and heading to the restaurant.


The whole area is nicely decorated with lots of lighting and flowers, it is so vibrant!! This is definitely a place to wash off stress and depression away!!



The entrance leading to the restaurant, it is very nice isn't it? I'm so filled up with happiness and excitement.



Part of the landscape near the main entrance.




The sales office and restaurant side by side.

The whole environment kinda give me the 'out-of-town' type of feeling, i thought i was at somewhere else for a beach holiday.



So much to offer..... 1st class deco and landscape in our 'made in Malaysia' Gold Coast.




It took my breath away for a moment....




The restaurant




So flowery





The menu

The restaurant serves steamboat and BBQ dishes at reasonable price.



We settled for steamboat dinner, it is my all time fav.




This is the set for 2, costing only RM14.80 per pax.

Though the portion looks small, but it is very filling and i suppose it is enough for small eaters.
Oh well in our case, of course we ordered some add-on dishes to fill our big belly. Prices ranging from RM3 - RM8 for all sorts of meat/fish balls, fresh vegetables & seafood (Halal).

The whole dinner cost us only RM49.50 and it was indeed a very satisfying one. The food quality is acceptable & not too bad, except for lack of variety. But considering the nice environment & ambiance, it is indeed a great place to dine in (without having to get slaughtered by commercial restaurants on Vtine Day).

After our lovely dinner, we headed to another restaurant next to it to enjoy our 'love drink' - Coffee!!


SGC Sunset Beach Restaurant with live band and table setting at the seaside.





Found a nice spot and started exploring the menu.

Sunset Beach Restaurant serves mainly Western Food. The prices are affordable and the portion is big. Saw the couple sitting next to us having a chunk of Lamb Shank, the price shown on the menu is only below RM30 (it is at RM20+, could not remember the price)



It isn't complete without candle/oil light right?





Big boss checking out the Valentine Menu.
Nice spot isn't it????




Mini Choc Fudge with fruits and cream (RM14)
I had cappuccino & Dav's had his brew coffee, to sweeten this special occasion up, we had some desert as well.




Sunset Beach special arrangement on Valentine Day.
The musicians went from table to table, singing love songs base on song request and dedication to all couples.

Dav's dedication?? Unchanged Melody...... :P
But unfortunately, shortly after they started singing, my camera batt went flat!!! T_T

Enjoying every moment of it......

Thank you Potato for this wonderful night.....
Thank you for being there for me all the time....

Sorry i ain't the romantic type with sweet words & poems
Sorry i'm no longer the cheeky & bubbling one but your love remains
Sorry for sometimes hurting you with my words and actions and you always forgive
Thank you for loving me though i am with countless flaws and a stubborn head

Thank you, thank you for being part of my life and for this special Valentine Day!!

This is the best Valentine Day we ever had together!!
