Somewhere in December 2014, we went to Georgetown Penang after attending our besty wedding. It's been a long time since our last travel trip. So this is our first official travel trip for 2014. Yeyy ~

What I would like highlight here is this super cool budget hostel. It's been call as "Wassup Youth Hostel". Now, let the picture do the talking. 

Main lobby

We took the dormitory package. Where it cost around RM 45 per bed for one night. Luckily there was an empty dorm and it can fit only with four person, which is us. So we don't have to share the dorm with stranger. 

               

Too bad, i'm not included in the picture

The dorm was neat, clean and comfortable. It's have an air conditioner, two bathroom with hot shower, soft blanket, private locker, free wifi, small reading light with power socket for each bed, a few computer at the 1st floor lobby with free internet, board game and pool table at the main lobby. And my favorite was the vending machine. Why I like it? Because all the drink was sell only for RM 1. For this budget hostel, with the price we paid, I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

If you come Penang, never ever miss to try the taste of Pasembur at Padang Kota. It only can be found there. The end. Bye :)

This is Asus T100 note book. It can act as a laptop and a tablet. The reason I buy it because i'm using it  to watch youtube before getting to sleep. Most of the time watching Dota 2 tournament highlight until.. I fall to sleep hehe. Thats the best thing to do after tiring day of working, finish dinner and Isya prayer. The other reason i buy it because I can use it to do my work. Thanks to window 8.1.

without keyboard

In the beginning of time when using it. It does give me headache. There are two main problem. The first one was the BIOS and the second one was Internet connectivity. BIOS problem caused the note book cannot be  turn on. It's keep appear a black screen. Then the Internet connectivity was poor. It's keep disconnect. Then after I did some reading inside the Asus forum, I did manage get the solution. The solution was to replace the BIOS version and wifi driver. Manually I download the all the driver from Asus website and the installed it. Walla. Problem solve. Now happily using it.

Recently i brought this super cool bike. It was Yamaha Fz150i 2014 model. The price was RM 8500 just for the bike. But including the road-tax, insurance, rain coat, helmet and bike lock. It cost me RM 9300. One of my officemate brought the same model as me and only cost him RM 9200. Man, what a waste RM 100 for me. It's a good lesson for me not to rushing when to buy something.

Front view

Let's talk about the bike performance. Acceleration wise, top speed not bad. It can reach 140 Km/h. But I never try ride that fast. And the most important was the fuel consumption. It was good. I can go around 500 km with full tank. Full tank cost me RM20 (RON95 = RM2.30 per liter). So it should be 8.7 liter or more for full tank.

Side view

So far i am very satisfied with the bike. It help me reduce my monthly spending and no more stress driving in traffic jam. But i'm quite scared riding motorbike. I don't like big lorry and bus driving behind me. Some of the car driver who love drive fast and stay close behind me. Thats dangerous. As reminder for myself and other motorbike rider. Ride smart, avoid big lorry, bus and dangerous car driver. Ride with suitable speed and safe. Unexpected thing might happen such as hole on the road, car driver suddenly change lane or come out from junction. Happy riding. Ride safe.

Here we are 2014. The plan for this year is make a lot of saving. As much as I can. Why? I'm getting old. I have to save the money for the marriage. Once I meet the right person, thing will be easier for the wedding process. But...

There's are so many thing I would like to buy as well. Hmm.. let's see what are those thing.

(Multi purpose exercise bench. RM198) 

Now day I'm working on my muscle. One of  the work out is push up. I found it was hard for me to do it effectively. So the bench definitely will help a lot. Especially for chest and stomach work out.

(Proton Saga FLX Special Edition 15 inch sport rims RM600)

I think this is one of most suitable sport rims for my current cars. The colour and size is matching with my car. 15 inch rims will be good since it is bigger and wider. So it will give more stability, good fuel consumption for long distance driving and looking sporty! But I thinking I will buy these  next year when the current tyre already due for replacement.

Next item is watches. I used to wear it since school day. The previous was out of battery. Shoes is necessary. I need this to attend wedding. I will buy it maybe on Raya promotion. Call it Raya shoes.

  

Okay. These two electronics item are expensive. But it's really cool to have it. Especially the DSLR. So that my live journey will store by it. I-phone is not really needed. I already have the smart phone that can full fill my needs. But it's an i-phone. No lagging. Cool software!

Well there so much i would like to buy and maybe i won't get all the item. But it is ok to set a target. Now day I have spend my salary wisely due to priority.  End.

Last year on 13th August 2013 I manage to do some crazy trip. Which is travelling to Kelantan from Selangor and travel back home in one day. It may sound impossible. But how? Well thanks to Air Asia promotion provide me a reasonable price flight ticket.

Actually the main reason I visit Kelantan is to attend my course mate wedding located at Ketereh. Not that far from Kota Bharu airport. I took an airport cab from airport toward Kota Bharu bus station which crazy expensive! Well what can be expected from airport cab. It's always expensive. It's cost me RM20.++ . At that time, I was in hurry. So I don't care. My bad. From Kota Bharu I took a local bus to Ketereh which only cost me RM2.++

To be continue..

(Kota Bharu street view)

 

Well I'm thinking not to continue writing the story. Because of my laziness to write lol. But let me highlight the price and some beautiful pictures of Kota Bharu. 

(Pasar Siti Khatijah. Not to miss buying keropok losong and tudung over here. The price offer was good)

 

Transport from:
Keterah - Kota Bharu by "Kereta sapu": RM5
Kota Bharu - Airport by local bus: RM2. +
Kuala lumpur - Kota Bharu (two way) by Air Asia: RM 250 ++

I've visited this island somewhere around June 2013. It's totally worth it! The best timing to visit the island should be from March to September.. maybe. It is because sunny season. Doesn't rain so much and the weather is very nice. Some people said the beach is looking good during this period.

 (Pulau Rawa. One of the snorkeling destination. This is most beautiful island i ever seen in my life)

There are two island in Perhentian. They call it Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian kecil. We rent a Chalet at Pulau Perhentian Besar. The name of the chalet is Samudra Chalet.

We took a package set and cost us RM 345 per person. What they offer are:
- room for 4 person ( 2 queen bed, air-conditioning, make-up table and toilet )
- 2 breakfast, 2 lunch and 2 dinner
- 2 session of snorkeling (awesome!! 8 destination for snorkeling. The boat driver really cool)
- boat ticket for 2 way from jetty to island and from island to jetty back

I would said the price was not bad for me. I had a great time visiting the island =)

It's futsal time. Now day, i play futsal almost every weekend. After a long week of working. I would love to do some exercise on weekend. But today my ankle got twisted. Its got me worried at first. I was afraid if its broken. But its seem just ankle sprain. Phew ~ ~  By the way, the rental for the futsal court is RM 80 per hour. We play for 2 hour with 14 person joining the game. So i have pay for RM 12. Not bad for weekend activity with schoolmates.
