Defeated

April 2, 2011 by Yein Jee

My first visit to a doctor in many years… caught a heavy cold after coming back to Malaysia. Not that I’ve never been sick all this while, but not this bad.

Heavy cold medicine

The doctor decided to give a handsome dose of medicines, which actually makes thing worse at the moment. Perhaps it’s just a side effect while my immune system is being boosted… I’m not really sure… just want to get well soon.

Back from HKMC

March 31, 2011 by Yein Jee

Back from my Hong Kong & Macau trip on Wednesday night. It’s back to reality after eight days of travel and leisure… with abundance of backlogs to clear.

Hong Kong and Macau were awfully hazy, we only had half a day of blue sky over the trip. Not sure if it’s pollution or simply the weather… probably a combination of both. The temperature was around 15-20°C which suited me well though.

Had lots of good food, 4-5 meals a day… yet amazingly managed to lose two pounds because of the heavy walking. I think I might have covered more distance on foot in the past week than I would normally walk in 5-6 months.

The casino packed Macau was a bit of eye opener, while Hong Kong a shopping heaven with fashion and electronic items aplenty at competitive prices. Other than that it’s usual touristy stuff, nothing spectacular sightseeing wise.

Travel photos coming soon, and regular updates will resume as usual.

[Update] First post of Hong Kong – Wong Tai Sin Temple

Going to Hong Kong & Macau

March 22, 2011 by Yein Jee

Hong Kong wonton noodleWill be leaving to Hong Kong and Macau tonight. AFAIK the hotels I’m staying do not have free internet connection, so this blog is not likely to be updated in the next 8-9 days during the travel.

This will be my second visit to Hong Kong, you can check my 2007 trip if interested. It’s going to be my first visit to Macau – the Las Vegas of the East, or Asia, as some say.

Meanwhile, I’ve added a new featured stories category for this blog, which includes some of the most popular blog posts and a few of my personal favourites. Check that out if you are bored, or if you are pretty new to the site and have missed some of those interesting stuff in the past few months.

Stay tune for my Hong Kong & Macau travelogue, ciao :)

KL International Motorshow 2010

December 6, 2010 by Yein Jee

A few photos from the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) on Sunday. Didn’t plan to visit the event on weekend, anticipated it to be crazily packed. Went there in the end because of a relative; that dude drove four hours to the city just for the event, felt bad if I rejected his request for a company.
