PD

When people think of Port Dickson, they associate it with beach. A really really dirty beach.

Guess what? I went there and what I saw was a really dirty and colourful beach littered with plastic bag in any colour possible. So much for wanting to play in the sea and building sand castles.

But no fear! Our hotel makes up for the horrendous looking beach.

(Doesn't look horrendous but pictures always make ugly things look pretty. When you walk up close to the beach you see black fragments floating around. Such a turn off =< )

Grand Lexis Hotel (formerly known as The Legend International Water Homes). It's awesome because...


Not because it's on the sea...

 Not because it has colourful slides in kiddy pools... (Which I played in yay!)

But because every room has it's own private pool =D

It is tiny but still, it's pretty cool ;) Figuratively and also literally. Because this private pool is not really exposed to the sun, it was freezing when we went in for a dip (impossible to swim in it). I almost had flu after swimming it in but luckily I didn't.

The view of the 'water homes' at night. Love the full moon for making this photo so gorgeous...

Full moon!

Random photos... Lazy to caption XD





Overall experience there was ok.

But I wouldn't come here again =S I guess people come to this hotel for the novelty factor... The fact that there is a private pool in every room. But other than the pool, there is not much there to offer. And the buffet breakfast there is not really nice =S

I wanna go a real beach soon!!! >=O Somewhere I can swim in and build sandcastles on =(

Malaysian Aboriginals

Ever thought of Orang Asli or Malaysian Aboriginals? Until recently, I thought Orang Asli are bumiputras such as Kadazandusuns, Iban, Bajaus, Bidayuh, but not Malays. Sometimes, I even use the terms interchangeably. My mom always gave me a weird look when I talk about my 'Orang Asli' friends from university. When I went to Taman Negara a while back, I was cleared of my misconceptions. Orang Asli are not the ethnic groups from Sabah/Sarawak. They are Orang Asli, another ethnic group on its own. How come I never knew that? Either I have studied it in Sejarah but don't remember it (Hey, who else remembered the contents of Wawasas 2020 which I tried to etch it into my mind the night before SPM paper? I don't. None of it. Conclusion: No one remembers what is mentioned in sejarah textbook.) or it is not mentioned in our history syllabus. If it is the latter, I am really pissed off because as the first settlers of peninsula Malaysia, shouldn't they provide more we...

It's December!

Stating the obvious is one way to start a blog post (as per my opinion). Of course, if it is unacceptable, please tell me. Maybe a philosophical quote would be better, preferably in Latin (Do you know Germans get to learn Latin as a second language? So cool! A German couple told us when my family were in Taman Negara). Or maybe to you, the sentence ‘It’s December!’ is worth deciphering from the philosophical point of view. Let me just tell you: There is none. I really am just stating the obvious because I have no idea what to write as the title (as always). So why am I here again? One is because I just went to a happy place! And happy events are always worth blogging down. Oh ok ok, I am also happy during the other times I am not blogging too. So what other reason made me want to blog today? Well, long story short: My lecturer said my English is not up to standard. Yup. Personally I think my English is not too bad (Definitely better than the Malaysian population). But who knows ri...

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total...
