Then we decided to head to Malacca for dinner and the Satay Celup was in our mind. The Satay Celup was not as good as I last use to savour them but still we had a full stomach. A great trip down south for food and beverages.
It was fun and some got drunk. We left at about 3am and went for supper. The next day we went for a food travel. Check out my next post then.
The next day went to the fair which is located at the new building at Pazhou. There were a lot of people indeed but not as packed as I was told. Anyway, we did our business and purpose there and off we went to Fangchun. Fangchun is an area where there is at least 5000 shops selling from tea leaves to tea accessories. I was amazed by the size of the place. I wonder how they could survive with so many competitors. We purchased some tea accessories which then took us the whole day. Went back to hotel to bath and suddenly got a call. A friend of mine (Yik Siong) is also there in Guangzhou. So we went for dinner together and later on went to a KTV for some beer. Yes, we did take some GRO’s with cost RMB110 per lady. We sang some songs, played some games and downed our beers. At 1am ++ as the night is still young, my friend ask us to go SPA (a decent one). Haha. Reach there, strip ourselves and dip into the hot pool. It is really a big SPA but lest customers. Maybe it is late already. We then went for some food which is included. Have a 30 minute foot massage and then a 90 minute full body massage. It was really relaxing and I fell asleep a few times. It cost us RMB378 per person. We left the place at 4am++ and slept till 11am the next day.
This business trip, we went from Guangzhou to Wuzhou, Guangxi, and from Wuzhou to Zhaoching, Guangdong to see the tea factory. All these places have serious air pollution! U cannot see more than 100 metres away. During this trip to China, I have tasted scorpion, sand worms, lizards and wine soak with wild bees. Really an eye opener for me. Will bring my wife there next time.
Bandung is actually a highland of itself that's why the weather is cooling. On our way to the hotel, I find the traffic is no diferrence with Jakarta city (full of cars and jams). We stayed at Sheraton Hotel situated on the hill. The hotel is not bad but has not much facilities. The pool was small, there's no pub, no gym. There is just a lobby lounge, a restaurant, a spa and that's basically it. Went for dinner and shopping. Oh.. Bandung is famous for its Factory Outlets. You can find brands such as Versace, Hugo, Polo, Guess, Adidas, Nike, Hermes, Nautica, Zara just name a few and the price is unbelievable. A Nike t-shirt for RM20. A Hugo jeans for RM70. And was told it is original goods but was just made there. So ladies out there, this is a place to go for branded clothings. Anyway, i did not buy anything that night and went back hotel to sleep.
On the last day before our flight home, I then only went clothes shopping. I bought a Adidas cap for RM15, Polo shirt RM20 for my kids and a Zara RM24 blouse for my wife. All branded stuff leh. Who say i cannot afford it hahaha.. why go for immitations leh. The best time to go Bandung is on the weekday. Do not go on weekend as ppl from Jakarta will all rush there for the cooling weather and shopping.

It is a usual routine for me and my wife to return to the in-laws on every Sunday but today is not an ordinary day. It is a day when the scary Fantastic Four gets together! A day that we parents fears the most! They were fighting, screaming, jumping ... whatever they could do to piss us off!
After the finishing the cakes we bought for them, they change into their costume (naked lar) and jump into the pool. Then they start showing us their superpowers .. KaCha! HeeYa! KaBoom!...... To save us the trouble, we send in a scapegoat as the Monster (see pic). Phew... lucky I was not the chosen one! After an hour, battery running low liao.. so they have to recharge... all drank up thier Super Duper Alamak Milk! Thought it was a wrong move but no, it was a good one. After drinking they all went for a nap. Aaahhhh.... PEACE AT LAST!
We ordered a few dishes and it was good indeed. They even gave free chicken soup. Although the portion wasn't huge but still we had a full stomach! What we ordered?
We heard so much about Sylvia's Ireland boyfriend and finally I got the chance to meet him yesterday. We set for a luncheon meet over at Sg Wang. I actually expected him to be a fat and mature guy as what I recall seeing him in Sylvia's handphone but I was wrong. He is actually quite fit and looks a lot younger. Anyway, we sat in the cafe enjoying the food. He was quite, maybe I wasn't friendly enough. I then ordered a bucket of beers to get things going and it did. He loves beers and mentioned to me it is their culture back in their country to have beer whenever they could. He says beers here in Malaysia are cheaper compare to theirs. I told him that it is even cheaper in Bangkok, Indonesia and Cambodia! We had a great time talking just about anything. We were there for 3 hours and we already drank 3 buckets of beers!! We parted our ways by 4pm. But that is not the end, we met up again in the night!
The drinks sold here isn't cheap but expected lar. A jug of beer costs RM58++. Ordered a few jugs of beers, had some great chats and enjoyed the music played. Ohya, the beer ladies there are kind of sweet too. Hee hee.
