Election: No Eye See
Nail Polish & Love Motels for Dogs?! Very Disturbing…
When the grooming center and the obedience training school were launched, pet owners flocked in to sign up for the programs. Then cashing in on the hype, the 5 star pet hotel (De’ Ritz Pet Hotel) was opened. *with air-condition some more -_-”. I had my doubts but apparently there are people checking their pets into the hotel. It’s pretty amazing how owners pamper their pets nowadays right?! Anyways, back to my lint roller hunt. I’ve found my roller and was on my way to the cashier when a staff handed me a free copy of a pet magazine, Petster which by the way is the mag’s first edition. The mag has some pretty… ahem… incredible info about pets. As if a pet hotel in Ikano and KLIA (yup, we have one at KLIA… in fact a very luxurious one) is not crazy enough, now we have Pet Love Motels! The motel offers air-conditioned rooms, satin sheets, ceiling heart-shaped mirrors, dim lights, cushions and of course romantic music! All the works for some TLC time dedicated for pets who wants some discretion while getting it on. It’s insane! I don’t know about you, but i felt a bit uncomfy reading about this motel. More disturbing is they have DVD that will excite dogs *dog porn?! eww! and even offer artificial insemination services. Fortunately the motel is only available at Soa Paulo coz i don’t think it’s legal (lawfully or morally) here… yet. What we DO have in Malaysia is pet fashion. Yeah, pets make the new fashion guru now. Besides the exclusive gemstone collars available at most pet stores, now we have bags built to carry pooches. The stylish pooch bags available are now in par with our human handbags. Leopard prints also have ler muahahaha! I find it darn farny. Maybe next time will have pet luggages. Imagine trolling a German Sheppard around town! Then there is the nail polish for dogs. This is even more disturbing than the love motel. At least the motel has a purpose which is for dog breeding. I can’t find any excuse for the nail colors. Now i’m imagining a Rottweiler wearing fuchsia pink nail polishes. Very macho eh? Robbers beware. *Pink?!! Help!!! I’ve got to get out!!! For all the pet’s mud shampoo and conditioner, and all the aromatic pet spa, i think i would love to be reborn as a pedigree on my next life. Throw in a life time contract of pet pedicures, i’ll be dog gone content. Bow wow!
I’ve been to Ikano Pet Lover Centre countless of time in these 2 months. Last week i was there again this time looking for a lint roller and maybe some other pups necessities… uhm… and also to look at the pups on sale and to sneak a look at the pets being groomed and trained *wakaka! I must say the center is doing quite well compared to other pet shops.
Doggy style?
Gucci & burberry LOL
Dog pedicure
Blue Lagoon
Our next destination is to one of the exotic lagoons at Luon Cave area. The area around Luon Cave are one of the most frequently visit sites. During the warmer seasons there would be tons of people kayaking into the lagoon area since bigger boats would not be able to get into the cave. Surprisingly, we saw some courageous tourists kayaking at this cold season too. *crazy people might catch pneumonia! The cave is a natural tunnel thrusts through a mountain’s foot which leads to the lagoon. The entrance itself gave a mysterious atmosphere. The cave serves like a shell protecting it’s precious pearl within it. Normally, the lagoon tour will be in the afternoon when the tide is low and we leave before the tide comes in. When the tides are high the water will rise sealing off the entire lagoon cave entrance. Many kayakers end up spending a night in the lagoon coz they didn’t know better. That’s pretty creepy since the whole lagoon will be in the dark since there will be no opening at all. *imagine what creatures would be in there with you… better get out before the evening comes! The Dragon Pearl junk (one of the junk under Tropical Sails) was wrecked due to the high tide. They didn’t get out on time. I think no one was hurt but the junk is history. I was in awe at the magnificent beauty of the lagoon. Crystal turqoise and unpolluted water flowing calmly as we slowly maneuver our way in. Ahhh…. When the evening is near, we harbor our junk just outside the cave like all the other junks and boats. Our guide calls it the ‘safe place’ coz the water is calm and we would be safe from hitting anything. As the sky got darker, we went on the deck to admire the colorful lights from the boats nearby playing against the water. While the cook prepare our dinner, EatAllYouCanShung still have time to pretend macho in the freezing cold night -_-”. Read all about our BBQ dinner and how our named got carved on the miniature junk HERE. To be continued at:- **** ——- ****

Election Faster Come Lar! Very Sick and Tired Liao…
… with all the unnecessary buzz of the upcoming Malaysia’s General Election. Faster come, faster go and leave me alone. Everywhere i go, there were people discussing who’s running for what and who would win which seat. On TV, on radio and newspaper. Enough already lar! *very sien already lar!
First it was the white or bald headed old men in the news every single day. Then there were banters and accusations followed by silly advertisements or SPR themed songs on TV. Now it’s the eye-sore-to-see flags everywhere.
BN had gone all the way this year. Notice the numerous BN commercials aired on TV this time around? All the commercials by MCA on TV and newspapers. Using TARC and UNITAR for propaganda. My god, i can’t believe they came up with the one with the single mother who had gotten aid from MCA. I practically rolled on the floor laughing my arse off watching that!
Have you noticed the SPR song aired on TV every once in a while? When the lyrics mentions about anything negative like “jangan dengar hasutan” the DAP flag is aired and when the lyrics goes something like voting for the best party (in BM but i forgot what was it), Pak Lah‘s photos are aired. How biased could they be?
I must admit that yesterday’s headline caught my attention though. BN had roped in artiste to send their message across to ignorant public like us -_-”. Bravo! I give them props for effort and creativity. *wakaka!
Come on lar. Do they really think we are that easily sold… by manipulating the media? I think the more hype all these people create just reflects how desperate they are… and this year’s election is way overblown. This is my first time voting and no commercial or propaganda is gonna change my mind. I’m sticking to m y decision on who i’m voting for (i’m not telling who but i guess you would have known by now :P).
If you still don’t know who to vote, try Kenny‘s poll at http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2008/03/kennysiacom_who.php. Good stuff there LOL!
And for fun, read this http://www.chanlilian.net/2008/03/03/warkah-untuk-pm-pak-lah-sent-a-personal-letter-to-me/.
Elections faster come so i don’t have to see or hear about it anymore!
The Day Cotton Found a Home
Cotton had finally found a new owner. Her new owner resides in Subang Jaya. I hope she’s in good hands coz she’s precious.
Cotton wearing a pink ribbon on her last day with us.
I’m really glad for her but i can’t help but feel sad. I miss her so much :(
I miss her naughty nature. I have no idea how many slipper she had chewed on. How many plants she had ruined. Looking at the terrible chewed spot on my shoe rack reminds me of how much trouble we had gotten into with her presence. LOL. Now i do not have to wake up in the wee hours just to sweep dirt and sand on my porch (she’s a dirt digger too -_-”) or cover up all the holes she had dug in the garden.
Cotton sleeping while it’s raining
I don’t have to worry if she’s hungry or cold. God i miss her! *i can’t believe i cried when we gave her away..
Take good care of her.

Can you spot a kungfu kick master in this picture?

The sand on the beach doesn’t look like it’s natural sand but who knows? Our handsome and… ahem… knowledgeable guide warned us not to walk or run too deep into the water coz we’ll fall nose dive into the bay water.
*It’s suppose to be like this. Not sure it’s true or not but whatever lar LOL.
Natural beach vs. man-made beach
Nevertheless, after cruising on water after so many hours i was up for a change. It was just a small beach. No coconut palms, no bikinis, no resorts. I was really curious why we had stopped there coz it wasn’t a great place for sight seeing.
Yawn… just a beach wat
Ok. The only thing that were remotely interesting was the ‘thrash basket’ i saw on the beach.
I remembered seeing a picture of something similar in Lonely Planet. I looks like the
two-meter-wide round baskets made of woven bamboo strips that locals in Na Thrang, Vietnam used to transport themselves to boats, only this is much more smaller.
Trash basket?
That’s when i saw the arch and stairway leading up the hill to nowhere. Lots of ang mohs were admiring the arch and taking photograph of it so i took one too. *kiasu kiasu wakaka! For all the excitement going around, there MUST be something amazing up there.
‘
Are we in greece… hmmm… don’t think so
Where does this lead to?
The stairway brought us to an amazing sight to behold. As i turn around at the final steps i saw this…
Amazing
You could almost view the entire bay from here. The greyish and turquoise shadows of rock formations against the backdrop of the clear blue sky made it looks like something like an old Chinese art drawing. Very cool.
Further up?
I thought that was it but i was wrong. The stairway has ended but our climb had not. We had to hike further up the rocky hill. *holy shit!
Almost there…
<
span style="font-size:100%;">Not even half way on the hike, i was already huffing and puffing. Remember “I Almost Passed Out At Batu Caves? Well, i had another episode of black-outs. I felt really paiseh (embarrassed) coz even the ang moh ladies in their 40s and 50s breezed passed me. I might as well dig a hole and bury myself… -_-”
Top of the hill
The blackouts and nausea was worth it though. Look at the scene. Speechless…
Ps:// Dear thanks for being patient. I am such a troublesome person. I need exercise ler…grrrrr….
Selling snacks
Kid peddlers
Before we left the site, i got myself a souvenir from the small girl on a sampan. She was selling sea shells. Oh, what the heck? The baby with her was adorable.
