Travelogue 5 : UK-Scotland Trip Part 3

Destination #5 - Pitlochry, Scotland

The long journey from Lancaster to Pitlochry, Scotland was a 'spritual journey'. Subhanallah, thank God for granted us the opportunity to be in Scotland and to appreciate His creation.

I've ranked Scotland as the most wanted place to visit (Perhaps I can list down the rank - my wish list in separate post). Nevertheless, this is the unforgettable memory ever. The greenish pine trees on the bottom part of the terrain and yellowish trees as it goes up. Little bit of ice/snow at the peak of some of the hills. Crystal clear creek, river and lake along the journey (in Scotland, lake is known as loch). It was very pictureque.

We arrived at Pitlochry after a calm 4 hours journey. Pitlochry is located in the heart of highland Perthshire.

By the road side at Pitlochry

The main attraction in Pitlochry is the Salmon Ladder at the hydroelectric dam.  The ladder was specially constructed to enable salmon to by-pass the dam and make their way upstream to Loch Faskally above. The ladder is 310 metres long and consists of 34 chambers, linked together by tunnels that the salmon can swim through. It enables around 5,000 salmon to return to their spawning grounds each year - a journey of some salmons are 6,000 miles! However, chances of seeing a salmon are slim (Autumn is usually when they are most prolific).

With the Salmon Ladder

We thought that we would be lucky enough to see the Salmon as we were there during Autumn. But we tried our luck for two times, there were no sign of salmon swimming at all. Therefore we decided to proceed with buying fresh salmon at the nearby local hypermarket. As highlighted in my previous post Part 1, we brought 30kg food in our bag which include rice and spices. So we can cook Malaysian food in Pitlochry..

We stayed at a homestay named My Scottish Cottage. My Scottish Cottage is adjascent to Moulin Inn which it was used to be the laundry room for that hotel. It was converted into a very nice two storey cottage fully equipped with fire place, kitchen and cooking utensils, living cum dining area, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There is a small stream at the backyard. In short, the cotttage was superb.

We had a great home-cooked dinner i.e grilled Salmon, fried local wild mushroom and rice. And to make the dinner even greater, we ate in front of the fire place. So classic.

A perfect cottage

Destination #6 - Glencoe, Scotland

It was the fifth day of our vacation. We made a simple breakfast as the journey started very early in the morning. The road is very narrow along Loch Tay but it is not bumpy and no potholes. So it was comfortable to drive in Scotland.

Glencoe was not in the itinerary initially. We only have 3 days to spend in Scotland. We had few options to select and it was a tough decision to made as all places come with good reviews and we dont want to miss any good place. The options were
1. Pitlochry
2. Oban
3. Loch Lomond
4. Inverness (Loch Ness)
5. Loch Etive
6. Fort William
7. Glasgow
8. Edinburgh

After a thorough study via google map and Trip Advisor, we eliminated Inverness as it is too far at the north tip of Scotland and there are many other Loch along the journey. Glasgow is just a typical city. Loch Lomond initially was in the list but after reading review, it is quite dangerous to drive to Loch Lomond especially at night, so we decided to remove Loch Lomond. Fort William is an hour journey from Oban, so we are considering Fort William.

A week before our departure to the UK, Mr Hubby showed me a scene from 'Skyfall', and I was like..fantastic..we are going there (I never watch James Bond movie). We found the exact gps coordinate in google (56.6194755,-4.9309293).  This place is named Glen Etive.

On the left is picture from the James Bond scene, on the right is Us mocking the scene

There was a tragic moment at this scenic place. Kimi was very excited to go out from the car. It was less than 8 degree Celcius, with tremendous gale of wind. This poor small boy fall down in the mud puddle because he was too excited to take picture. To add some drama, Mama forgot to bring extra pant for Kimi and as a result, Mama had to wash the pant and mitten in a freezing cold puddle. The water was damn cold. Mama cannot enjoy the scenery that much..hmm..what to do..

Kimi was pantless in the car. Mama got to buy new pant for Kimi in the next stop which was Oban. 

Destination #7 - Oban,Scotland

We continued the journey to Oban. Mountain, creeks, pines, lakes, river and sheep grazing the grass along the way.

Oban is a fishing village. The waterfront is very scenic where strolling on the pavement while admiring the boats can be a way of appreciating God creation in Oban. However, during our visit, the strong gale which resulted from the Typhoon at the North Atlantic Ocean had made our day in Oban can be considered as not enjoyable as we even cannot  standstill including my 0.1 Tonne hubby..My contact lenses like wanna fall out from the eyes due to the strong wind. Poor Kimi as he need to ride on the stroller pantless while waiting for mummy searching for a shop to buy new jeans for him.

Within Oban itself, one of the most prominent features is McCaig's Tower. The tower is  a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and features in many of the postcards you will find for sale in the shops on George Street. The Tower was built by a local banker, unsurprisingly called McCaig. The aim was to provide work for local stonemasons and provide a lasting monument to his family. The interior comprises of a grassy hilltop, with the wall of the tower encircling it like a crown on an uneven head.

We are on the look alike colosseum

Prayer by Loch Etive facing Dunstaffnage Castle

We had a very nice lunch in one of the Fish and Chips restaurant in Oban. Of course we bought a fresh salmon and trout for our home cooked dinner. In conclusion, it was a tiring day due to the super long hours journey,  super strong wind and additional work for mummy to wash pant in a super cold clear puddle at Glen Etive.

Destination #8 - Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

The next morning, we had Nasi Lemak for breakfast. My supermama brought daun pandan, ginger, coconut milk, anchovies and blended chilli all the way from Malaysia.

Before we left Pitlochry town, we've visited the Heathergerms Factory Shop and Visitor Center. Heathergems is a unique and imaginative range of Scottish jewellery and giftware, made in Pitlochry, Scotland from natural heather stems.

Our last checkpoint in Scotland was the famous Edinburgh Castle.

The place is quite crowded with tourists not like other places that we've visited in Scotland. We just took few pictures around the castle as we don't want to waste time going into the castle to read about the history and so on. (I didn't appreciate history that much especially when I have to pay ticket to enter into the castle/museum). 

Saying goodbye to Edinburgh Castle, we continue our journey to Durham.

In conclusion, Scotland is very scenic and worth a visit. Super delicious salmon and trout, the weather is extremely chilling but it is not a suitable place for shopaholics. 

On a serious note, Afi hardly cry in Scotland maybe because of the chilling weather, his mouth became numb that he even cannot open his mouth to cry. Perfect!

Travelogue 5: UK Scotland Trip Part 2

Destination #3 - Old Trafford Stadium

Old Trafford

Mr Hubby is a Manchester United hardcore fan. Our visit to Old Trafford was during away game. So he did not have the opportunity to watch a Premier League Match live at Old Trafford. It was just a museum & stadium tour. We purchased the tickets online (GBP 18) prior to our visit  to avoid disappointment of long queue or worse, the tour slots are fully taken.

Our visit to Old Trafford was on the same day of visit to Anfield. The one hour journey was spoilt by Kimi's annoying question "What happen to tongue? What happen to tongue?" The annoying question came along with a loud cry. Kimi is a fussy boy regardless whether it is food, clothes, friends or toys. He always has his own preferences. Apparently, he seemed to disagree with the winter jacket which I bought at 80% discounted price at Mothercare (Darn, he knew it was a cheap winter jacket.hahaha). So at the temperature of less than 15 deg C, he wore a thin jacket and as result, his mouth and tongue felt numb. And this fussy boy managed to make his not so kaya mummy went to Man Utd Megastore, freely choosing whichever jacket that he liked. He chose a sleeveless winter vest with a small Man Utd logo on it. It suits him well.  It was also unfortunately for me as his vest was more expensive than my Clark's shoes.Huh!

I have to put a disclaimer that I have a very limited knowledge about Manchester United team. I am a very typical woman who know only a few Man U related players i.e. David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Park Ji Sung, Rio Ferdinand, Cristiano Ronaldo. Yup I know, the list is quite old and obviously not up-to-date!

Happy face

The stadium tour was quite formal compared to Anfield's stadium tour. The stadium (the cathedral as my husband called it - duh) is so damn huge. Thus, the 2-hour tour was a tiring one as we need to rush at each checkpoints. We cannot take as much pictures as compared to Anfield's Stadium Tour.

Kimi was very excited to be in the stadium and he asked tonnes of questions loudly which apparently annoyed other people who  were in the tour group. After a while, Kimi was requested to leave the tour group because according to the tour guide, he cannot even hear his own voice. So poyo! So I have to bring  Kimi out from the group (and also Hafiey to avoid further embarassment in case he cries etc). Mr Hubby of course felt that it was a blessing in disguise as he's able to be more focus to listen to the crappy stories from the tour guide. Outcasted, we happily walked around the stadium, taking as much pictures as we want since we were no longer restricted to the timing rules. It was also a blessing to me too as I didn't have to listen to the history. Technically we were requested to move to the next checkpoint once the main group arrived at checkpoint. Maybe I should get a ticket refund. I swear I'll make sure Kimi will not support Man U ever.Hahahhaha..

Being kicked-out from the stadium tour

Shoe-less in Old Trafford

I brought my kids out of the stadium after the tour ended. Mr Hubby continued with the museum tour. While waiting for him, we really had fun playing ball outside the stadium

Destination #4 - Morecambe/Lancaster

Saying goodbye to Manchester, we traveled to Morecambe. We had our dinner at Fish and Chips restaurant nearby our hotel (Sea Crest Hotel). Dinner was superb. Everybody was so damn hungry as we skipped lunch. Hafiey managed to eat all of his fish (it was an adult serving) and took some portion of mine as well. The hotel was perfect with very typical English deco and quite spacey.

The next day was a travelling day to Scotland. After having a self made breakfast, we continued our journey to Lancaster University. It was 10 minutes away from Morecambe. My mom studied at Lancaster University back in the year 2000. My family except me were here staying in the campus. (I plan to write about the melancholic life of mine without my family in separate post).

Kimi at Oma's School (wearing new MUFC vest).
Uniqlo Umbrella (which they claimed 'is designed to withstand heavy wind'), is not recommended to be used in the UK

We also dropped by Moorside Primary School, where 3 of my siblings used to study.

Alumni..
All of us remember his friends' name at Moorside; Jack, O'Connor and Ryan and his teacher was Mrs Clark

Next pitstop, Simply Baby of Lancaster, where somebody got a birthday present from Oma. New stroller for Kimi. (His convertible car seat broken in Bath). Ohoho..damn cheap..It's a Silvercross Stroller and it was 50% cheaper than the price in Malaysia!

Good-bye Lancaster. Hello Pitlochry, Scotland.

To be continued....

Travelogue 5: UK - Scotland Trip Part 1

It was a short 10 days vacation, 5 adults with 2 kids traveled from KL en route to London via Abu Dhabi. We took Etihad Airways (not because of MH17 and MH370 tragedy) as after few months of analysis thru www.skyscanner.net,  the cheapest fare on the range of date that we have fixed was Etihad.

The journey from KL-Abu Dhabi-London went off very well indeed not as bad as expected. My little Hafiey was cooperative, no crying like usual.His big brother slept all the way from KL to Abu Dhabi. And for the remaining 7 and half hours journey to London, he was busy watching cartoons and movies.

Alhamdulillah we arrived around 2pm London time. After settling down with customs, baggage and car rental, we departed to our first destination.

The kids with the baggage at Heathrow Airport. Part of the baggage were car seat, booster seat and loads of food for the rood trip. Cost saving. Car seat and booster seat can cause you GBP 10 per day each. 

Destination #1 - BATH

It was 8pm, windy, drizzling and the conclusion COLD. We checked in at Toghill House Farm. Our dinner was nasi impit, serunding ikan and sambal kacang..is like Hari Raya! Our food supplies for the 10 days vacation was 30kg. So do expect this kind of food to come out from the bag..

Morning at Toghill House Farm, Bath

We had breakfast at the cottage. Typical vegetarian breakfast was provided i.e. eggs, mushrooms with bread, cereal, fruits and yogurt.

We checked out and our next destination was Bath Town. The famous tourist attractions here are the Roman Bath, The Royal Crescent and the Pulteney Bridge. We walked from one place to another. As the weather was nice, though it's quite a distance, we managed to cover all the attractions half an hour ahead of schedule.

City of Bath..

Kimi was on the car seat which can be converted into a stroller. Hafiey in his stroller sleeping as usual with no excitement.

The Royal Crescent. This impressive landmark forms a sweeping crescent of 30 terrace houses, and is without doubt one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture anywhere in the UK.

Bath is very scenic. Kimi was very happy to see so many clocks here. His obsession..

Destination #2 - LIVERPOOL

And saying good bye to Bath, we departed to our next destination, the Liver bird city. Our next lodging was at Stalbridge Guest House not far away from Liverpool water front. It was a 4 hours journey to Liverpool. We had a quick late lunch i.e. nasi impit again but this time around with kurma daging and ayam at the guest house. We spent our evening at Liverpool waterfront. It was damn cold..10 degree Celcius with a strong wind by  River Mersey.

Us at the birthplace of the best band in the world

Waking up in the morning on the next day was the most awaited moment for Abah and Adik. We checked out from the guest house after having a self prepared sardine sandwiches and visited Anfield..We already pre-booked a stadium tour ticket online i.e. GBP 17 per adult. The tour was conducted in a relax and informal way which make us free to take as many pictures as we can.

Hafiey was not giving his full commitment at the end of the museum tour. Hmm..We were not sure the purpose of him crying in front of the REAL Champions League Trophy (the only one in England. Champions League Trophies at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford are replicas). Until Mr Hubby figured out that he was actually hungry. Stupid Mama. While we window-shopped at the Liverpool FC Store, Hafiey was eating in the car with Mr Hubby.

Our next destination, Old Trafford....

New Addiction: Infused Water

I'm a fruit lover. I prefer plain water and juices rather than coffee and tea. So Infused Water is the perfect match. Sharing of my new addiction. You might be interested to try.

By adding a few slices of fruit into our daily intake of water, we can heightens minerals and vitamins that our bodies can easily and quickly consume, and at the same time are so delicious that we may find ourselves tricking our mind into drinking more water than we have in the past.

Put any fruits you like in a cold water and let the infused water in the fridge for at least 8 hours but not more than 24 hours.It is refreshing, healthy and improve your digestion system. Less cost, no drugs, no supplements, no pills etc.Some of the recipes that I've tried so far...

1. Kiwi 

This is my favourite. Kiwi is a superfood and is packed with vitamins. Kiwis also helps flush out toxins from the colon, which improves your overall health and well being.

Tips

Use overripe kiwi if possible. Kiwi and strawberry, a perfect combination. 

2. Strawberry

Strawberry can gives anti-oxidant effect. And if it is combined with kiwi, you will get booster : Cardiovascular health, immune system protection, blood sugar regulation, and digestion. And it is super delicious.

3. Lemon

• Lemon-infused water may lower your chances of developing diseases like cancer, slow weight gain and even prevent the common cold. .
• The citric acid in lemons helps to keep kidneys healthy. 
• Lemons are also high in vitamin C, which means they will improve your immune system. 
• Another bonus: Lemons reduce skin blemishes and can improve your complexion.

Tips

Your infused water likely tastes bitter if you did not cut off the rind. Peel the lemon skin, remove the rind and slice the lemon. Mint leaves can add colour to your drink as well as cooling effect. 

4. Pineaple and Grapes

Pineapple is a great metabolism booster, and it’s full of healthy vitamins and antioxidants like Vitamin C. Pineapple will give a sweet tart taste but grapes will not contribute so much taste into the drinks. Taking the juice from the grapes will however benefits your health as it contains cancer-fighting and cleansing compounds.

Tips

Too much pineapple will resulted in extra "zinc" to your infused drink. One wedge of pineapple with 8-10 cut into half grapes are just nice for one tumbler of cold water. 

5. Apple and Cinnamon

This is my mom's favourite. Apples have a slew of benefits including maintaining bone and tissue health, and cinnamon is one of the most efficient boosters of metabolism. Cinnamon is also excellent for regulating blood sugar, improving alertness and concentration

Tips

To extract significant flavor from the apple slices (cut as thin as possible) and cinnamon stick, put them in a boiled water for few minutes and pour in the cold water.

By the way, my new routine is to make my infused water after my dinner and having it for my 'breakfast on the go' for the next day with hubby. Mr hubby is against this idea anyway.."is too healthy". My tumbler is as  pineapple and grape infused water above and the goal is to finish it all by the time we reach KLCC parking. It has been 2 weeks and we never fail. More weeks to go.....

The upcoming infused water among others will be cucumber with limes, orange with mango,  peach and pear. Can't wait to try peeps!

Travelogue 4: Amazing Krabi

To summarize the trip, I would say it was amazing and we will come again!!!

We went to Krabi in last June, a day after my birthday. The trip to Krabi is not for my birthday celebration though. Is just that's the only date that all of us can gather during weekend before Ramadhan.

It's only 50 minutes journey via Air Asia. We arrived in Krabi very early in the morning. None of the shops were open yet.

Front view of Baan Santhiya Private Villa

It was a 3 days weekend retreat and yet we had so many places to cover in 3 days. Travelling with two babies and one toddler was not that easy. So the schedule cannot be too pack or else it will be tiring for the kids and grandparents..LOL..

We booked Baan Santhiya Private Pool Villa from booking.com. I would say the facilities are tremendous, fabulous, well maintained and  it is perfect for a family of 6-10 to stay. They provide a free Tuk Tuk service where ever you want to go around Ao Nang. The owner of the villa, Mr Rob was very friendly. Kudos to Mr Rob and team for their excellent services provided to us. The villa has 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms and huge living hall with kitchen for you to cook and washing machine for laundry. The swimming pool is just for us. Their team even provide the island hoping package to whichever island we are interested in, airport transfer, prepare BBQ set for our dinner..Nice rite...And it is affordable.

Day 1
Walking around Ao Nang Beach, shopping at the pedestrian street (hubby bought a tailor made pants), food testing and Mama&Abah had their massage at the spa. We had lunch at Bamboo Restaurant. The food was so-so and quite pricey. Is quite easy to locate halal food at Ao Nang. So no need to worry on the ground arrangement. Be your own travel guide and travel agent, and you can have your own space and time.

After late lunch, we went back to the villa by the provided tuk-tuk (Mr Rob provided handphone for us to call the tuk-tuk..so damn convenient).

Local fruits

Around 5pm, the tuk-tuk brought us to the Ao Nang Market (Just like Pasar Malam in Malaysia). We bought some prawns, squids and fish for BBQ at night. Mangoes and watermelon are a must here. Please include in your food wishlist.

Day 2

We went to Hong Island by the long tail boat. It took 1 hour++ to reach there.

Hong Island

Hong Island has a reputation for its secluded and peaceful white powdery beach. “Hong” in Thai means room. Perhaps referring to the many inlets and lagoons and limestone caves on this unique and interesting island. The package include Hotel transfer, Soft drink & fruit Life jacket, Lunch (Muslim Thai food), Entrance fees Equipment for Snorkeling, Insurance, Drinking water and Guide. There are plenty of islands to choose. Chicken Island, Phi Phi Island, Tup Island, Poda Island etc. But according to the local people,  Hong Island is not as crowded as Phi Phi, so we decided to choose Hong Island.

View from our Picnic Bay

And believe me, this is the best experience ever. Tenang dan menakjubkan. Even without snorkeling, you can see the fish from the water surface.

We spent 3 hours here and had our lunch at the other side of Hong Island which is called Lading Island. And the beautiful part of it, there were just 10 of us plus the boat driver. Lunch was superb.

Hong Island Lagoon

Next destination was Hong Island Lagoon. The water was like greenish blue, ankle to knee level. I fall in love with the lagoon.


We had a rough journey back to Ao Nang as it was about to rain. But the experienced boat driver was calm and maneuver the boat well. Our dinner on the second day was at a very humble muslim restaurant at AoNang Mosque. Though we took 45 minutes to walk to the restaurant from Ao Nang beach, it was worth it.Recommended menu:

• Tom Yum Gung
• Green Curry Chicken
• Salted Squid
• The juices-superb

Day 3
We are going back!!! We dropped by at Krabi Outlet Village.

Conclusion: I love Krabi and the food. The next wishlist in Krabi are Phi Phi Island and Emerald Pool.

Projek Rumah Berhemah

Selepas 9 bulan Projek Rumah Berhemah complete, baru hari ni berkesempatan untuk menulis dalam dear diary. I bought this house in Sunway Kayangan, Shah Alam nearby my mom's house. Cam biasa la anak mama. Bought in March 2013 but the transfer title took much time than expected though transfer from bumi to bumi. The house is semi furnished with grill, lighting and fan.

Nama projek pun berhemah, untuk menunjukkan betapa ciputnya budget yang ada to call my house a home. Bahasa ringkasnya..memberi roh kepada rumah.

First Floor
Superlink Sunway Kayangan

Ni adalah floor plan first plan. No major change. Just new painting and installation of laminated floor at the family hall. Also, benda-benda kecik like water heater, towel holder, sink cabinet and built in cabinet inside master bedroom and the boys' room. Nama je benda kecik..tapi ongkosnya..berpeluh.

Since we are moving from a 850 sqft apartment to a double storey terrace house, till now rumah tu bergema lagi sebab still kosong. Kumpul duit dulu la ye nak penuh kan rumah.

Built in Cabinet in the boys' playroom

Ground Floor Superlink
Sunway Kayangan

 For ground floor involve structure renovation. I just habiskan 5' at the backyard to avoid kucing berak etc. Size rumah ni agak pelik dr normal terrace house. It is square 30' by 30'.After my reno now it become 30' by 35'. Dah terlanjur rumah berhabuk, buat sekaligus plaster ceiling kat ground floor, painting and my play room..kitchen cabinet. 

Tak de la panggil ID bagai, I designed my house with a very limited budget. But hasilnya alhamdulillah. But ID memang one of my skill..hehe..

Overview sikit-sikit je la kan. This is dining area.
Tampal korean wallpaper.

Dapur yang paling banyak kos sebab ni kan tempat melepaskan stress. So belanja lebih sikit la kat sini. Hubby pun kata OK sebab nak feed perut dia jugakkan. Hehe..Yang paling best sebab hasrat aku nak buat laundry area ala2 IKEA menjadi realiti.

Drawing that I passed to the tukang kayu.
Dah lama teringin nk kitchen cabinet with aluminium roller:)

Material bawah is alumunium.
Senang nak lap kalo goreng2 sambal.
Atas and the tall unit is nyatoh.
Why putih? my dapur is so sempit.

kicap, sos kat dinding ala2 restoran katanya

Travelogue 3: Guangzhou, China Part 2

Day 3 - 26 January 2013

No picture taken as photographer were busy buying stuff i.e. gadgets, computer's hardware and accessories. Some of it were fake and some were up to standard. My brother bought the original XBOX 360 at Ganding Computer Digital. It was a great bargain. But seriously don't ever buy hard disc in Guagzhou. It's appearance looks promising but it's actually a pendrive that packed into a big case so that it will look like a hard disc.

Camera (DSLR) accessories were easily available along Dashatao Road. In conclusion, the whole day was spent for gadgets and camera accessories.

We had our lunch at the Muslim Restaurant nearby and pray at Huasheng Mosque

Sate again

Masjid Saad Abi Waqqas aka Huasheng Mosque

.
At night, we had some photography session at Pearl River.

Day 4 - 27 January 2013

We went to Haizhu Square to shop for clothing. Afternoon until evening, we went to Shangxia ju Pedestrian Street. Not only for shopping, but looking at the local people's culture and scenic view.

On day 4, we need to find formula milk for Kimi. Luckily, my brother in law can read the kanji..as he said it is almost the same as Japanese kanji. Other than that, we were also running out of Maggi, bread and tuna. At the apartment lobby, we met a group of Malaysian tourists and they gave us a contact number for Malay cook in town. So for the next day's breakfast, we had Nasi Lemak..Ooh I missed Malaysia's food.

Day 5 - 28 January 2013

After having a great breakfast, we went to Baiyun Shan or also known as White Cloud Mountain.We took a cablecar ride to witness the scenery from the peak of Baiyun Mountain. Lots of local people from all walks of life walking up the mountain using the jungle trail. According to our translator, if we walked up, it will take around 4 hours to reach the peak at normal walking rate.

Morning activity - choir after a long walk

Negren Temple

Us.

Cable car

Our last destination was Baiyun World Leather Trading Centre. High grade AAAAAA branded handbags...

We stopped by at the nearby Mosque accidentally found using Google Map.

Day 6 - 29 January 2013

As mentioned before, shopping at Zhongda Fabric Market was considered as unsuccessful . Therefore, we had extra of 20kg untilize luggage despite of my cuzzy and abah bought a stainless steel pipe. My hubby bought a heavy computer power supply. Other than that fabric for few metres, handbags and toys.

Our flight that morning was on schedule. I had a tremendously delicious Nasi Beriani in flight. Ahha, maybe I missed Malaysia's food badly and Nasi Beriani in Air Asia kind of hit the spot.

-The End of Guangzhou Trip-
