5th Trip to Bangkok

Well, the title speak for itself. Recently I just came back from Bangkok aka my annual shopping trip despite the recent riot and protest happening in Bangkok. Before my flight, my friends, my cousins, and my parents were nagging me about me going to Bangkok as the news had just shown a few death in the recent protest. So I check up with a friend of mine who know someone in the Thai Tourism Board about the condition in Bangkok. Apparently shopping areas are hardly affected by the riot. Only the government house areas are affected. So we decided to brave out this journey despite the numerous warning from friends and relatives ;P A day before my flight is due, we got an sms from Air Asia saying that the flight is gonna be delayed but my friend somehow mis-heard the information and told me that it was cancelled. For awhile there's a tiny bit of disappointment in me cos I so wanted to go Bangkok and so I called up another gf of mine to get the whole picture of the story. Apparently it was a false alarm, the flight was in fact delayed not cancelled. Phew.... We took the last flight to Bangkok and since it was delayed, our touch down time was delayed too. I reach Bangkok about 1 am M'sia time and 12 am Bangkok time. It was a tiring trip for me maybe cos my biological clock was telling me it's my bedtime as it is 1 am M'sia time. By the time we reach the hotel, it's already about 3 am in the morning and we are all drop dead tired and totally knock out. I don't even bother to have a close look at my hotel room. The hotel we stayed in is a themed hotel, every room has got different theme. Mine was one of the Japanese wave themed. Overall the hotel room is not bad as it cost us only RM 130, it's only meant for us to sleep in and bath in cos most of the time we will be out shopping or sightseeing.

Day One : We woke up early so we can have plenty of time to shop as we are going to Cha Tu Chak the weekend market. The hotel provided us with breakfast thus everyone stuff themselves full with a heavy breakfast so we have enough energy to walk in the weekend market. It is a hot and sunny day and by the time we meet up for lunch or tea we are all burn and sweaty and of course happy with our shopping. That is only the 1st half of our shopping itinery! 2nd half is to the famous MBK shopping complex to continue our shopping! Reason we choose MBK is because we wanna be in a shopping complex with air cond as all of us are all sweaty and smelly haha. Once we are in MBK, the first place we head to is Swensen :) Surprisingly Swensen in Thai is darn cheap. Me and Steve had a chocolate fondue with ice cream for RM 14.90 only. After Swensen, everyone is recharged and continue our mission to shop :) Last stop before heading back to hotel to refresh is Burger King for a pork burger. In Thai, it's all about pork burgers haha For dinner, our friend aka the half Thai boy hehe brought us to Chinatown for a very cheap and delicious seafood dinner. We had raw oysters, fish, prawn, vege, crab, mussels, fried rice and tom yum seafood soup and drinks for only about RM 282 plus. Darn cheap. Average per person is about RM 47. Cheap right??? Sorry ah no photo for this dinner as everyone is too hungry to remember about photo. Once the food arrived we just dig in and within 5 minutes the food is gone so I have only the mess we left behind after our delicious meal hehe :p

Day Two : Second day for shopping would be the whole sale area aka Pratunam. By this day, my little thigh are swollen and my feet is very painful. Still, we continue our mission :) The guys, well only Steve and Scott, went to the food court to have their beer session while waiting for us to shop. I guess they are tired of waiting for us ladies the shopaholics hehe. We were in Platinum Mall and I find things here are consider expensive compared last year when I went there. I could not get much in Platinum thus I bring Junie to another area, which I always go during my past years of shopping in Bangkok. I guess prices drop once u go out from the shopping complex. I can get 3 short pants for RM 10 outside of the shopping mall and mind you, it's quite nice design. Junie is satisfied with the shorts. We even bought some dresses for RM 10 per piece. Although the material is not really that good but I think for RM 10 it's worth it. By the time we went back to the food court to meet up the boys they are already going on their 7th bottles of beer. Beer in Bangkok are cheap doesn't matter it's imported or not. Later that night we went to Suan Lum Bazaar for dinner and shopping again. We had a 3 litre beer tower of Paulaner for only RM 90 which I consider darn cheap compared in KL. Well, can't compare actually cos there's not much Paulaner in KL.

Day Three : By this day, everyone is almost broke from shopping. Yes, that's how surprising it is. Lucky this day it's a sightseeing day so I guess not much money will be spent except for entrance fees, food and transportations. We had a laid back morning before going to the Grand Palace. Sadly we can't go in when we reach there as they have some festival/praying session going on inside thus the staff advised us to go other places before coming back by lunch time. 6 of us grab 2 tuk tuk and off we go to another temple which apparently only open once a year and we were lucky cos that day it is open door day. For some of them, taking the tuk tuk is a once in a lifetime experience. Why? Cos the tuk tuk that we took are kinda racing on the heavy traffic roads. Yes, the driver to my tuk tuk is like driving the F1 only it's on the main roads of Bangkok. All of us are saying NO to tuk tuk now hehe. To go into Grand Palace, one have to dress decently ie the skirt or pants must be longer then knee length and the top have to have sleeve or cover your shoulder or else you will be force to rent their pareo before they allowed you to enter the Grand Palace. As this is my 2nd time to the Grand Palace, we are all well aware of this and everyone dress up accordingly before going to Grand Palace. After the Grand Palace we went back to the hotel to bath and change our clothes before going to another place. In the evening we went to Erawan Shrine for praying purposes. Later on our friend brought us to a nice place for dinner again. It's by the Chao Praya River side. This time we managed to snap photos of our food before it is gobbled up by us hehe. After dinner we went for a drinking session in Khao San Road. This is an interesting place full of mat sallehs and the things that they sell here are mostly hand made and only in limited quantity. Too bad I was very tired out that night plus it is raining thus I don't have much mood to continue shopping. I head back to the hotel once I finished my drink to pack my luggage.

Day Four : Last day in Bangkok, it's a free and easy day. The 2 shopping king and queen continued their mission and the rest of us went sightseeing. This time we went to Wat Pho which is one of the largest temple in Thai and also with a huge reclining Buddha statue in it. It is a very large compound inside this temple. After Wat Pho we went to a temple nearby our hotel before going off for our last lunch in Bangkok as we are going back to KL in the evening flight. Me and Steve managed to find a little restaurant/pub/bistro nearby our hotel for our lunch. It is actually in Patpong area. It serve good Thai food at affordable prices. Yes, it's authentic Thai food. We stuffed ourselves full before heading back to hotel to freshen up before going to the airport. Guess what, this trip I am not the shopping queen. All my friends thought it is gonna be ME but surprise surprise, it is NOT me. Overall it is a fun filled trip for everyone. We had a great time in Bangkok shopping and I'm sure everyone would love to go there once more hehehe :) Next year perhaps ?

Mama Mia

Over the Raya holiday, I went for Mama Mia the movie in Pavilion. It's a sort of musical movie inspired by Abba songs. I'm not sure about the guys but to me (I think most of the girls) would like this movie. It's about a girl getting married and she wanted her father to give her hand away in her wedding. She found her mom's old diary and know that there's 3 possible guys who could be her father. So she invited 3 guys without her mom's knowledge to her wedding. It was a very cheerful movie and mind you, you most probably will be bound to sing along with the movie. All the songs are Abba's gold hits and I'm sure most of us are familiar with their songs. If u don't no worries cos subtitles of the songs are provided. In my case, I grow up listening to a lot of oldies like Abba. While watching the movie, I'm so tempted to sing along but knowing that my singing is gonnna disturb my fellow neighbors I decided not to sing out loud or sing along. But the girl next to me doesn't seem to agree with me. She's went on and sing along with the movie. Not that it's a wrong thing to do but it can be kinda disturbing. Luckily the movie can drown her voice else I would have to ask her to keep quiet. Hehe. Because of the movie, I bought myself the dvd although I've watched it in the cinema. Yes, my plan is to have a sing along when I play my dvd. Hehe. And now I suddenly become Abba song fanatic. I'm downloading almost all the songs in that movie and been listening to it ever since. Call me crazy but that's me. ;) Oh, lastly it's recommended for everyone to watch this movie and I'm planning to go watch the Mama Mia play in Istana Budaya this December too :) Even my bf had watched this movie twice; one in a private premier preview and 2nd time with me. His verdict : the movie makes him wanna dump all the works in Malaysia and go back pack and lead a care free life like in the movie :) See for yourself and enjoy the movie.

Journeys to the Under World (Part 1)

Generally, in most religions, we are taught to do good deeds to people or else we will be punish for all our sins done during our lives on Earth. I'm not exactly a very religious person so I'm not here to preach or teach anyone about anything relating to religions. For myself, I'm a Buddhist and Buddhism believes that there's heaven and hell and even the 'underworld' where sinners will be published. For those who frequent temples will know that temples provide a lot of books about Buddhism but most of it are in Chinese which prevent people like me who are non Chinese educated to read and understand Buddhism further．

Yesterday when I was in a temple, I saw at a corner there's a lot of books about Buddhism but all of them are in Chinese except for one. The title of the book look appealing to me and since it's the only English book there I borrowed the book. The title of the book is 'Journeys to the Under-World'.

The book was originally in Chinese and was the result of the deity 'Jigong' bringing the soul of Mr. Yang Sheng, a leading planchette handler of Sheng Xian Tang, Taiwan, to visit Hades on instructions of the Jade Emperor with intention of helping and saving human beings. The visits were completed in 62 journeys and were generally made in the night time.

According to the book, there's a total of 10 Tribunals in Hades and each tribunal have several sub division. I just complete reading Journey No. 16 which is to the Third Tribunal 'The Prison of Scooped Eyes'. I'm not going into details about this book but I just wanna highlight a few things mention in this book. And for those of you who wanna read up this book can borrowed it from any Buddhist temple.

The First Tribunal is where the soul goes to when they dies and this is also the place where the soul is registered and being investigate of his good and bad deeds during his life. If the soul is found to have done more bad deeds than good, he is then sent to the Second Tribunal to be trial.

On Mr. Yang Sheng Journey No. 6, he visited the 'Magic Mirror Pavillion'. After the soul had reported in the First Tribunal, he will be brought to this Magic Mirror Pavillion. The mirror will reflect what each and every evil deed the soul had done during his life on Earth. Later on, Mr. Yang Sheng tour 'Wang Si Cheng' (city of those who died unnatural deaths). This is the place where souls of those who have met with accidental death are sent to. In the first room in this place, Mr. Yang Sheng saw a lot of small crying babies covered in blood and upon asking the General of the place, he's told that these are the babies of those who had been aborted. The body of these babies are formed and thus they have souls. According to the book, when a baby is aborted, the baby's soul will of course have resentment and will wait until the parents die so the baby can confront them to account for the abortion. Please be a responsible parents and don't abort as the baby will be waiting for you in the other world.

Next is the Second Tribunal, which in fact is the real Tribunal for punishing souls. In every Tribunal there is a special pulpit for preaching and discourse to the souls to rehabilitate them. In this Second Tribunal, Mr. Yang Sheng visited the Odour Pool in Hades. Inside the pool he saw male and female, young and old, mixing up with strips of dung and urine.These were the souls of human beings when on Earth they are prostitutes, pimps who cheated girls, smugglers, those who used placenta of new born babies, swindlers and cheats, womanizers, gangsters, deliberate bankrupts, bribery officials and unscrupulous building contractors. These people when alive had evil hearts and therefore when they are sent to Hades, they have to smell and wobble in the excrete in this pool. It kinda give me a nausea feeling even imagining human beings in such pool of excrete not to mention to be in it. This serve a very strong reminder for everyone to not have any evil hearts or thoughts.

Next is the Hades of the Hungry Ghosts. This is the place where people when alive they are rich, spent lavishly, ate well and had no pity on the poor, needy and deserving. So when they die, they will be in here in a beautiful suit/dress and will only have one meal of vegetable broth a week. Sad isn't it? Thus it teaches us not to waste food and even though we are filthy rich, never forget the poor and needy. I will always remember not to waste my food from now and will be very thankful for the food that I managed to have.

In Journey No. 13, Mr. Yang Sheng tour 'Naihe Qiao' and Hades of Dancing. In 'Naihe Qiao' he saw a continually swaying and rocking bridge from which souls are falling to the bottom below and crying non stop. Below this bridge there are thousands of various snakes which will bite the souls once they fall. This is where people who alive have evil hearts and cheated people's money, cheated women, were instigators, cause people to quarrel and fights, took delight cheating others etc will ended up in... being bitten by poisonous snakes. When he goes to Hades of Dancing, he saw males and females all dancing in a pale hall. These are the souls of dance hostesses and dance patrons when they are alive. The floor of the hall is made of red hot iron plate and so when stepped on, the souls will burn their feet and cry aloud. These are the souls who dance for enjoyment and bodily pleasure and even to earn money or took up prostitution. Those who dance for the sake of health and exercise will not be sent here. After reading this chapter, I'm beginning to think twice of going to clubs or pubs.

Hades of Coldness, it's a place where souls are left in coldness with a very minimal clothing. Those who will be sent here are those who cheat people who entrust their property to them for safe keeping, procurers and pimps who demand large sum of money for the release of prostitutions etc from their bondage, people who are too showy, who spend recklessly and lavishly, those who prefer to spend on more expensive dresses just to show that they have a lot of money rather than to help the poor and needy and those females who take pleasure to go about scantily dressed thus exposing their bodies. Yet another reminder for me to do more good deeds.

Third Tribunal, The Prison of Scooped Eyes. In here souls will have both their eyes scooped out and left with blood oozing from the eye sockets and crying loudly. Soldiers of Hades will use a iron fork to scoop the eyes until the eye balls fell off. Then the eye balls are retrieved and fitted back into the eye sockets and wash with magic water; which will have the effect of reviving the soul from fainting.The scooping process will be carried out 3 times daily on each soul. People who always look down/despise others especially the poor and less educated, guys who love to peep, watch and read obscene books or movies, etc, people who cheated in examinations will eventually be punished here. Come to think of it, human these days be it guys or girls have most probably done most of the above mentioned sins. Sigh.

I've only read till here and am still reading the book. Will update once I have finish the book.

Is it safe in KL?

I find that these days in KL there are increasing numbers of snatch thieves. Maybe it did not happen to you before but ask around your friends, chances are quite a few of them had been snatched before or had heard of similar stories or have even seen it before but did not do anything to help. Yet another typical Kuala Lumpurian attitude, the mind your own business attitude. It's sad to know that there are people with such kinda attitude.

Just yesterday my friend, CY's hp was snatched from her hand while she's calling me. We were supposed to meet up for dinner in Sentul. Her god bro send her to the restaurant, as she's getting out of the car she tried to call me to ask where exactly is my location and that is when her hp got snatched. Yes, snatched from her very own hand. The call she made went through and I did pick up her call and keep saying 'hello, hello' and no one answer me back. At the same time, I heard from the phone and saw a guy on a bike sped off very loudly. At that moment I still did not know her phone got snatched until my friend call her other phone. That's when she told us her phone got snatched. The guy who snatched her phone practically scratch her face to hurt her in order to snatch the hp. That's how desperate these people are. All this happened in few meters away from the restaurant which have a lot of customers but in the darker area.

According to CY, there's a guy standing in front of her but did not do anything to help her. She said she did gave out a scream but I guess it's too noisy there that we did not heard it. She got a scratch mark from the thief on her eye. Right below her eye. She was very shocked from the incident. She did not sleep well last night. She's still shocked from the incident. Her first time being snatched thief victim. Who isn't? When I got snatched I was as shocked as she is if not worse cos my whole bag was snatched. I lost everything from my wallet to my car key and my new clothes!

But this serve as a lesson to us especially the girls. Avoiding talking on your hp while walking alone cos it make us easy prey. Don't put your hp, car keys etc on the table. Never leave our bags on an empty chair beside us no matter sitting in the restaurant or outside of the restaurant.
You think it won't happen to you just because you are in a upper class area? Think twice cos I was snatched in a upper class area. No matter where we go, we must be alert with our surrounding especially people who look suspicious. Even when I am driving back home alone at night I tend to be extremely careful. Never know when someone is tailing you home to rob you.

Sound pretty unsafe in KL? I'm not too sure either. But I try to avoid certain areas and be extra more careful especially at night when I'm alone.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival 2008

It's the Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival as many may call it. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar chinese calendar. To most chinese, we will go back to our hometowns to have reunion dinner and mooncake while 'moon bathing' with our respective families.

Same goes to my family except this year mom is working thus no celebration. But an aunt was kind enough to invite the family over to have lunch with them.

Nevertheless me and my bf decided to take things into our own hands. Not anything bad but we cook up a pot of treasure for the whole family (both side of the families). Previously when I went to KK in March, I had bought some sea cucumbers and abalone for our families and finally today we decided to cook everything in a pot :)

Chicken abalone soup with mushroom and sea cucumbers

Ingredients
1 kampung chicken
1 pack of abalone which I bought from KK (it consist of 10-11pcs)
3 big pieces of sea cucumber (which I bought from KK too- frozen)(soak it in water to soften it)
15-20 pieces of mushrooms (soaked overnight and sliced half)
a few slices of 'dong kwai'
a handful of red dates and 'kei chi'

1. Firstly we must clean the abalones. It's quite small in size. Not as big as those we eat in 'Ah Yat Abalone' of course. Apparently it's very hard to clean these abalones. U need a 'abalone scrub' to scrub it to remove the dirt sticking on the abalone. Those which I bought are wet abalones and not dried abalones. It's very hard to scrub away those dirt. If it can't be remove, trim off those dirty edges. Or u can try using baking soda to clean it. I did not try that.

2. Next, clean the kampung chicken. This is my first time cleaning a whole chicken. Although the seller already chop and remove the skin but there's still a lot of fats and internal organs of the chicken that need to be removed. It's a bit yucky when u stuff your hand into the chicken to remove all the internal organs. It feels slimy and stinky. Set it aside after cleaning the chicken.

3. Once the abalones are clean, stuff it into the chicken together with the mushrooms and the chinese herbs as well ('dong kwai', red dates, 'kei chi')

4. Put a pot of water to boil. Take out the sea cucumbers which are soften and sliced it. Set it in the fridge as it won't be needed till later.

5. Add in the left over of the abalones, mushrooms and herbs which can't be all stuffed into the chicken into the pot. Add in the stuffed chicken as well. Close the lid and let it boil in medium heat.

6. Once boiled, turn down the heat and let it boil in low heat for three and half hours. Add in the sliced sea cucumber during the last 45 mins as it will 'melt' in the soup. I guess the quality of the sea cucumber is not that good either. Add salt to taste when the soup is done.

Yes, it's that simple only. BUT, it's a lot of works to do especially on the preparation part. It was my first time handling abalones. Even my mom don't know how to cook it. So, this time I'm learning from Chef Steve hehehe

Verdict : The abalones is not as nice as those we had in restaurants. Can't complain much as we are only amateurs and I can't afford those big juicy abalones (these are cheap abalones RM 50 for a pack only). The whole pot of soup is very 'sin tim' (cantonese word as in 'hoi sin' that 'sin') The chicken is so soft and tender that the meat practically falls out from the bone. The sea cucumber almost 'melted' all in the soup. The abalones had shrunk to even smaller size. It is very chewy and not much taste. It's unlike those restaurant's where it is cooked for a few hours before it is served. For those who don't like the chewy tasteless abalone, sliced the abalones and cook a separate sauce to go with it. It taste better that way :)

I'm quite satisfied with today's pot of soup. I had too much of it till I can't eat anymore mooncake. But I did had some mooncake at Steve's place last night. The 2 of us enjoying our lil 'moon bathing' in his place while having mooncake and chinese tea. The traditional chinese tea with all the small pots and lil cups etc. He's the expert in 'kung fu' chinese tea. Explaining the art of making 2 small cups of nice aromatic chinese tea.
With different sizes of the tea cups, the tea actually taste different. The long tall cup of tea have a smoother taste while the round cup bring a thick taste. It's a very unique art of drinking tea which I don't know until now :)

Before I go to bed, wishing everyone a Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

Hassle of Getting A Car Number Plate

To those who know and have bought cars before will know the hassle of getting a 'good' car number plate. Unless of course, u don't need any special numbers thus, less hassle. This is my second time going to JPJ to buy my car number plate. The first was with my ex and it wasn't that hard. Maybe it is due to he bought common number.

If u log on to JPJ website,the numbers are categorized into premier value number which are those single digit numbers, interesting numbers such as 11, 333, 8888 etc and popular numbers such as 1000, 2772, 7788 etc. But the number which I wanted to buy is not in either one of these category. Usually, when u buy a new car, the sales person will help u handle all this hassle. I guess I was unlucky to have a not so competent sales person. Initially he told me he could help me to get the number I want for RM 300++ then it become RM 400++ then it turn out to be RM 500-600 cos he ask a runner to help him buy that number! I was very pissed off with his ever increasing price tag for the number and so I decided to get the number from JPJ myself.

Early Tue morning, I wake up as early as 7am and prepared myself to go JPJ. Luckily it's nearby my house. I reach there 7.30am and already there are a few people queing for the relatives departments to open up! Since I was there with my dad, I asked him to go join the Q upstair as that's the place where we are suppose to go for application for number plate, while I wait for the forms counter to be open. The form counter open 5 mins earlier than the other department. I grab a form and quickly fill it up and join my dad in the Q. By the time I reach the staircase, the Q is already until ground floor. Am so glad that dad's place was the 4th but sadly by the time the Q reach me, the lady told me that the new number is not open for sale yet. Thus no waiting numbers for me and I have to wait indefinitely.

I waited for an hour plus before the lady say we can Q up again for the number. By this hour a lot of people already Q-ing and long line have been formed. I did sort of jump Q cause the few of us are the early bird bunch and it's pretty unfair for us to have waited so long and to join the Q again. Lucky the lady recognize us and gave us the number or else I would not have be able to get what I want.

I'm the 5th person. Not too bad. A very good chance to get the number that I want. I reach the counter, pass the forms to the lady and tell her the number which I want. The number is still available and it only cost me RM 340 plus RM 10 service charge. At this time I panic, cause dad went out for breakfast and I don't have enough money for it. I only have about RM 150 in my purse and the lady in the counter said I have to pay her and no waiting or pre book number. I called my dad and he's quite far from the place. In the meantime, I have to do what I had to do.

To borrow money from strangers!!! Yes, it is embarrassing but if I don't buy the number now I would not have got it. I asked the uncle at the next counter but he seem very angry with the JPJ lady and say 'don't know' and left. Lucky at the time, the lady serving me is also handling another issue with another customer thus I get to pro-long the time while waiting for my dad. Eventually there's this guy (which I think is a runner) who's familiar with the lady came ask her something and so I grab the chance and asked him to borrow me some cash to secure the number. I assured him that I won't run away and I will wait with him for my dad to reach. Lucky me, he's very kind and he did borrow me RM 170 for me to buy the number cause at that time I only have RM 180. Dad came in just in time to pay the lady and I don't have to borrow the guy's money after all. Phew! what a situation.

Finally mission accomplish and number secured but the hassle of getting it..... really not so worth it but think of saving at least RM 200 to pay a runner to buy the number, brings a smile to myself :)

Illegal or Legal Car Jockey Service

I'm sure those who goes out clubbing will know of these so called 'car jockey' people. Was wondering if they actually have the license to operate as a car jockey and to actually park your cars at normal roadside with white or yellow line or even a proper out door parking lot??

This is what happened to me last fri night in Solaris, Mont Kiara. And yes, I'm darn pissed off by these car jockey. First of all, they did not put a proper sign or whatever to block that area to tell public it's ONLY meant for car jockey. Secondly, it's a roadside with white line so meaning I can issued summons by DBKL. Fyi, that area is under DBKL jurisdiction.

That night after dinner, I'm supposed to go a friend's club to celebrate my friend's birthday party. Those who know that area should know that everyone park on the roadside and some even park by the main roadside. It's quite a secluded area so it's not a busy main road. When I reach there I'm so happy to spot a roadside parking which is empty and near to the club I wanna go. After finally finish parking my car, come a guy knocking at my window. He told me that it is a jockey parking and that I have to pay RM10 and give him my car key. I told him that this is a roadside with yellow line (that time I didn't realised it is actually a white line) and that I can be issued summon by DBKL and if he is gonna pay for my summon or not? He smiled and kept on arguing that it is a jockey parking and that I have to pay and give him my car keys. I told him once again that it's a public roadside and asked him why I should even give him my car key when I parked my car there myself!!! Isn't it RIDICULOUS?? It's a public roadside. It's public area.

Then I asked for his operating license as a car jockey service. He said he don't know and that he is only a worker there and all those bullshit. Obviously they don't have a operating license or else he would have shown it to me. I told him I rather get summon than paying them. I'm really pissed off by them cos not only they can't provide me with a operating license, they want to even charged me RM 10 for parking myself and want to take my car keys!! I so wanted to just get off my car and walk away but I fear for my car safety. Not advisable for me to mess with these people as u never know if they will do any harm to my car or not. I was driving alone that night. So after arguing for 15 mins, I relented and drive away. Again I spot another roadside parking and again same thing happened. I'm darn pissed off. I really am. I give up and I have no choice but to park at the main roadside. When I was walking toward my friend's club, I tried to took pictures of these guys collecting money from public who park there and also too picture of that place. I told myself I am definitely gonna write or call up DBKL to make a big complain on this.

After that night, I regretted moving out from the roadside parking. Why? Cos I should have just got off the car and walk away telling them that if anything gonna happened to me or my car, I'm gonna lodge a police report against them and I should even take the picture of the guy. This is what I regretted. Nevertheless I am going to DBKL tomorrow and make a big complain about this people. Until I got the truth from DBKL, the next time I'm there I will know what to do.
