Laos Trip - Vientiane City

Vientiane City (Day 4)
Woke up early the next day to have our breakfast before catching our early bus ride to Vientiane City. Told Tracy how exciting it was the night before just to make her regret for not joining us. She doesn’t seem to care and said I must have enjoyed myself with all the western ladies… haha.. Anyway, we chose a restaurant over looking the mountains for breakfast. A few of us are reluctant to go but too bad we have already purchased the tickets. Vang Vieng was really a nice place to be at. Slow and peaceful town in daylight and suddenly turned into a nightlife heaven when the sunsets… Bid farewell and Vientiane here we come!

A little info about the city - Vientiane, the capital of Laos, has a population of 200000 and is one of southeast Asia's most laid-back capitals, with relatively little traffic in the streets. Vientiane has no tall buildings and exudes a special aura that combines Lao, Chinese, Thai, French, Soviet and American elements. The city is located in a fertile plain on a broad curve on the northeastern bank of the Mekong River. King Setthathirath officially established it as the capital of Lan Xang in 1560. When Lan Xang fell apart in 1707, it became an independent kingdom. In 1779, it was conquered by the Siamese general Phraya Chakri and made a vassal of Siam. Later it became the capital of Laos under the French protectorate in the late 19th century. It has continued as the capital until today.

Back to our trip. We hopped on to our bus at 9.50am. The VIP bus tickets we purchased aren’t so VIP at all!! Luggage has to be place on top of the bus rooftop and it wasn’t air conditioned! … Hmmm… felt a little bit being conned here. The bus was filled with all western tourist and we’re the only Asians. The ride took us approximately 3 hours plus to reach Vientiane city. The journey wasn’t as rough as the road we got here from Luang Prabang which is a relief to us. As the temperature rises and we felt the heat, we know that we’re gonna reach the capital soon. The ride stopped at a bus station with tuk-tuks drivers welcoming us. Each saying “City for 10,000 KIP”. We thought we are supposed to be in the city already but we weren’t. There are a couple of westerners arguing to the driver about the last stop but the driver just ignored them. Hmmmmm… ok… Welcome to the city I thought to myself.

Anyway, showed the tuk tuk driver of where we’re heading and we hopped in. This isn’t the small tuk tuk we usually see in Thailand or Cambodia. This is the XL size. Our tuk-tuk was filled with 13 people, packed like sardines while the hot sun blazing down on us. Luckily it wasn’t far. We noticed that city people are rich. You could see the Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen Beetle on the road. Even GTRs like Skyline and Fairlady zooms by us. As usual, we started looking for accommodation. Most of the guesthouses we walk into are either too expensive or fully-booked. We then suggest the ladies to sit down for lunch while the guys continue searching. We finally found a newly opened guesthouse that costs us 150,000 KIP per night. Everything seems to be good in this guesthouse except for the care taker lady. She seems a bit weird to us. Often giving us a strange smile and then suddenly an eerie laugh. Her eyes were as if telling us to “enjoy the night here, I’m gonna make your stay a ‘memorable’ one”. Oh no.. What have we got into?!?!? We braved ourselves and stayed for a night. Must find another hotel tomorrow!

Threw our backpacks in the room and off we went city touring. Since it was already late in the noon, we could only able to visit the Victory Gate. Also known as The Patuxai, formerly the Anousavary or Anosavari Monument, is a monument in the center of Vientiane built in 1960. It is an arch with an observation deck on top, built to commemorate Lao who had died in struggle for independence from France. Then we went to the Mekong river. This is where most of the tourist stayed where restaurants, pubs and massages could be easily found. Ah Pao and I sat in one of the river bank restaurant enjoying our beer while the others went for massage again. The Mekong river now with some construction going on wasn’t a nice sight. It seems they are narrowing the river to make way for more land. With trucks moving in and out, dusts are flown everywhere.

After they have finished their massage session, we went for dinner. Dinner was good as we ordered fish, pork, seafood soup, vegetables, springs rolls and of course more beer. After the dinner, we took a stroll down the town looking for a pub. Not much sighted and we head back to the riverside again. We went to a pub called Rooftop Bar over looking the river. In this bar we found loads of freelancers if you get what I mean. KP was eyeing on each and everyone of them…maybe hoping to catch one… haha.. too bad they are not in the looks department. After drinking a beer tower, it’s time to call it a night.

Day 5.
It was a good morning as the beer we had last night does the trick. Lucky the care taker lady did not do anything to us. Ha ha. We had pork noodles for breakfast along with Lao coffee. Then we packed our belongings and decided to stay at the riverside for our last night. Last night means a more comfy stay. We all agreed to treat ourselves on a USD12 per pax hotel called the Riverine Hotel. 2 times more expensive than our usual stays. After checking in we ask for a tuk-tuk to bring us to Buddha Park. They ask for 60,000 KIP per person. Now that is expensive. Then they lowered to 40,000 and we still rejected them. Butt was clever enough then to ask the hotel counter. They could bring in a private van for a whole day tour at USD40. Then the tuk tuk driver came to offer us at 20,000. Hahaha. What a huge difference but too late. Of course we’ll take a private van with air condition. We went to Wat Sisaket, morning market, Pha Tat Luang, Buddha park and ended in a wet market. Was pretty tired that day.

Again they went for massage and again Sylvia, Pao and I drank beer waiting for them. Dinner was the same restaurant the night and ordered almost the same dishes. Only difference is that the dinner is my treat as I wanted eberyone to enjoy our last night in Laos. I wanted to thank this good bunch of friends tagging along in the trip to Laos and making it a memorable one. We’re on our way back to KL the next morning.

So where to next? Chiang Mai as suggested by Tracy ?

Laos Trip - Vang Vieng

Ok.. lets get back to our next destination from Luang Prabang..

Vang Vieng (Day 3)
After the ritual and breakfast. We head back to our hotel to pack up. It is time for us to move to another destination, Vang Vieng which is a 5 hours drive by a private van. If you opt to take a bus ride then it will be a 7 hours journey. So to save time we took a private van at 130,000 KIP per pax. The journey was still a long ride and not comfortable at all as the road was very bumpy. To make things worst it was a winding road. For 5 hours we went up hill, down hill, left and right turns. It was like riding a roller coaster as our body sways from left to right and vice versa. Finding a restroom on the way isn’t an easy task either. We have to hold on to our pee for almost an hour to reach our half way destination for lunch. The restaurant has quite some view actually and it made the journey a little worth it. How often you could have lunch with a spectacular mountain view with cold wind breezing through your hair. After 40 minutes stop, it is time to hit the roads again which took us another 1 and half hours drive to reach Vang Vieng.

Vang Vieng lies approximately 180km south of Luang Prabang. The town is nestled alongside the Nam Song River which winds its way through dramatic karsts of limestone mountain range. This is the place for adventurous tourist to stay as there were many activities you could choose from rock climbing to water rafting, jungle trekking to mountain caving and etc etc. As we reach the town we check into a guesthouse that costs 150,000 KIP per night. We are amazed that behind this guesthouse lies a wonderful limestone landscape with a river by the side. So cameras were pulled out and we start snapping away. As planned, we opt to stay here for a night before going to Vientiane city. Wasting no time we hit the town to see what it has. It was a quiet town. Not much tourist found. Not as happening and adventurous as we thought to ourselves.

We passes by a tour shop and ask what they could offer. Since it was late afternoon they say we could only take the river kayaking for 60,000 KIP. Manage to bargain till 50,000 KIP per pax. We will be kayaking for 8km downstream on the Nam Song River. This time the river flow will be calm with only a few minor rapid obstacles. We had to put away our cameras as we’re afraid we might fall into the river. Lucky for Ah Pao he has an underwater camera so he is the only one capturing the whole session and views. I was stunned by the landscape.

Half way through we suddenly hear loud music and people screaming. As we turn by the corner we’re amazed to see a lot of tourist partying by the riverside. Now we know where the tourists are. They were dancing and doing the Swing Jumping. It’s sort like bungee jumping but we’re suppose to let go ourselves and fall into the river. Very exciting indeed. As we move on I found that the kayak that Butt and I were riding is seeping in water. I think it got a crack when we bump into some rocks earlier on. We stop by the riverbanks to rest while the guide get it fixed. Butt and Pao wasted no time and do the Swing Jumping. They seem to enjoy it. Especially Ah Pao as he screams his lungs out. I did not try as I was afraid of the cold waters and I was already shivering. After 3 hours of kayaking we finally came to our last stop. By then it was already dark and we’re all exhausted.


After dinner we head back to our rooms to bath and rest. Since it was still early, a few of us went out to look for nightlife while Tracy and Sylvia went straight to sleep. As we walk, loud music could be heard. A western tourist highly recommended us to try out the Bucket Bar for a crazy night. So we did and hell it was packed. Think there were at least a hundred tourists partying in there and most of them are westerners. I think we’re the only Asian there. So the tourist only comes out in the night! We drank some whisky and beer while watching people dancing. Then we went to another bar called Q Bar. Not so happening as Bucket bar but still it played some good tunes. Getting late and slightly drunk we head back to sleep. We’ll need to head down to Vientiane city early next day. How we wish to stay another night here but too bad we had already purchase the bus tickets.

Stay tune for Vientiane city....

Laos Trip (30th Jan - 4th Feb 2010)

Ahhh... Just got back from my 1st trip for the year 2010. This time we went to Laos. I'm sure you guys will ask why Laos? Is there anything in Laos? Some even do not know where this country is. Well, I actually plan to go to this country long time ago and I was surprise that a few travelling buddies wanted to join in. There were 7 people in this trip and they consist of Sylvia, Kian Ping, Pei Zhi, Pao, Butt, Tracy and myself. Date was set and off we went to this unfamilliar country.

Luang Prabang (Day 1)
I must thank Sylvia and Butt for the research and infomation they gathered. We flew 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Vientiane, the capital of Laos. Then we purchase the domestic air ticket (USD85) to Luang Prabang which is around an hour flight. Luang Prabang is actually one of the highlands and it has both natural and historical sites. As this was sort of a backpack trip, we will then need to look for accomodation. There were plenty of houses converted to guesthouses ranging from USD10 to USD 40 per night. We compared and viewed a few guesthouse and finally decided to stay in Oudom Souk Guesthouse near the Mekong river which cost USD13 per night. After setting in, off we went out looking for lunch. We walk by the riverside and found a lot of stalls situated. Food was acceptable but the view of the Mekong river was great surrounded with magnificient mountains side. It got even better when we down a few bottles of their local beer called Beer Lao for 10,000 KIP per big bottle (about USD1.20)... ha ha. After lunch, we kept venturing the area. It was a slow and relax town. Everyone seems to take their time with their chores. A significant appeal of the town was that there were a lot of French provincial style houses. We were surprise to see a lot of western tourists and all the time I thought no one would ever thought of travelling to Laos. Very clearly I was wrong.

As the day turns dark, the wheather drop quick too. It was about 14 degree celcius compared to 28 degree in the noon. Lucky for Tracy and I we brought along a jacket. But for others, they did not. As usual in most of our trips, a foot massage is a must but it turns out to be a dissapointing one. It was like touching here and pinching there. Even my wife could do a better massage than them. Anyway, at the end of the main street of Luang Prabang is a night market. Each stalls sells almost of the same thing like shirts, silk clothes, bracelets and paintings. The dinner was a simple one. We all had noodle soup which costs us about 10,000 KIP per bowl. The noodle was pretty good actually but their chilly paste was unbearable! A must try! We all went to bed early as we all felt tired.

Luang Prabang (Day 2)
The next day, we took a half day tour to see the historical Pak Ou Caves and the rice wine village. But before that, we had our breakfast at the food stalls. All stalls sells the same food, toast bread and Laos coffee. I must admit they are good especially the coffee. It has a smooth and yet a strong aroma. Anyway back to our tour. Pak Ou Caves are noted for their impressive Buddha sculptures assembled over the centuries by local and pilgrim. This cave is only accessible by boat and is about 25 km from the center of Luang Prabang. The journey was a long and a cold one indeed. None of us expected it to be so cold in Laos and we were all shivering.

Half way up the stream, the boat driver took us to the wine village called Xang Hai Village. They called them whisky but in fact they are rice wine. We then got the apportunity to see the process of wine making. We sampled some of these wines and bought a few bottles to warm up our body. They even sell wines dipped in with scorpions, snakes and centipedes. None of us dare to drink it but Ah Pao bought a bottle home for souvenier.

We then continued our journey to the caves which is about another 30 minutes ride up the stream. The cave wasn't a huge one but it laids hundreds of mostly wooden Buddhist figures on the floors and wall shelves. The caves has a lower cave (Tham Ting) and a upper cave (Tham Theung). Both caves contains approximately 4,000 Buddhas of all sizes. It was quite a view. You will have to walk hundreds of steps to the upper cave. Some of us are exhausted half way. In the upper cave, it was very very dark. You will need a torch light to see the sculptures and steps. We must thank Pei Zhi this time for her mobile torch light or else we might trip over the steps.


We then head back to our guesthouse to rest. We sat outside our rooms alley and gulping down Beer Lao. Had wonderful chats about life and friendship. As night draws near, it's time for dinner. Dinner was a good one that day. We had our dinner in the back alley of the shophouses. Most of the food they sell were either roasted or fried. We had roast fish, chicken, pork as we down them again with Beer Lao. After the heavy dinner, we went strolling the town and later on off to bed.


Luang Prabang (Day 3)
Another good experience was offering alms (food) to the monks. Luang Prabang is considered a holy city in laos and listed as the UNESCO World Heritage site. It houses about 33 Wats (temples). The monks food for the day comes from this ritual held very early in the morning. From what I understand, they are only allowed to eat food given to them on the morning of each day. To participate, you will have to get up very early in the morning. Sylvia, Pao, Butt and I woke up at about 5.30 am to see this ritual. Upon walking up to the main street, there were locals selling us sticky rice and bananas to be offered to the monks. Sylvia bought one and waited patiently along the street. There were hundreds of locals and tourist participating. They squated on the floor mats with their food in front of them. Tracy later on join us as she could not get back to sleep.


As time strikes at about 6.15am, we could already see the monks walking towards us. It was line of at least 300 monks. The monks then opened up their bowls for us to place the food in them. One by one, they were offered food. It was such a great experience. I could not help snapping away with my camera but dare not got to close to them. The ritual ended in about an hour or so as the monks continued their way back to their wats. Waking up so early to see this ritual is worth it! We then grab a quick breakfast and continued our journey to our next destination, Vang Vieng.

STAY TUNE FOR MORE............

Bangkok (4th - 8th October 2009)

Yes... Bangkok it is again...

Tracy's Birthday Party @ Rockmount (18th September 2009)

Well.. two days after my birthday comes Tracy's birthday. A bunch of her secondary friends wanted to celebrate with her and off we went to a bar called Rockmount. Quite a number of friends turn out that night and we just realize that one of them has the same birth date with Tracy. What a coincidence!

There was a singer singing some oldies and retro songs. It was okie. Through out the whole night we just had beers and I think we all had at least consumed 16 jugs! All was getting a little tipsy and chaos happenned.. ha ha... Well, would like to thank all for celebrating Tracy's birthday. It was sure a night to be remembered.

Tracy was DRUNK!!! She really had a wonderful night!

Ah Pao Birthday 2009

Ah Pao's Birthday.... we had a pot luck gathering at my house.. Almost all friends turns up and so did the kids... Oscar, Oswald, Junre, Jareth and Audrey. It more like a party for the kids than Ah Pao's birthday... hahaha... Tracy baked a cake for the occasion and it seems the guys loved it. As usual, we had alcohol to go along with the food... red wine, whisky and beers... hee hee...

Earth Hour - 8.30pm, 28th March 2009

It was Earth Hour day, so I decided to invite some friends over to my house to celebrate it along with my family. This day, we were suppose to switch off all lights from 8.30pm till 9.30pm (1 hour) to show our concern to save Earth. Hahaha. So we did. We started our dinner at 8pm with lights on, but then sharp 8.30pm all lights were off. So have to eat in the dark with candles litted up. Kinda romantic wor... Then we went out to my garden and started our usual drinking session. I could see some neighbours of mine did switch off their lights too. Those who were at my house were Kevin, Rachel, Andrey and Butt. Later on came Pao, Pang Yew, June and Avis.

Pang Yew who came later that night did gave us a surprise which I think that I'm not suppose to mention here. Those who knows him, ask him for more details.

Dinner with lights on.

Dinner with lights off !

In my garden

Getting a bit drunk

Bali Island - 3rd Day

Ok...now for the 3rd and final day. Nothing much had been planned for today. More of a free and easy day. Oh... except to go try out Babi Guleng. Got a restaurant name recommended by the tour guide previous day and off we went there for lunch which in the end seems to be a bad idea. 4 group of people going seperately and dissappointly, none of the driver knows the place. All four cars on their seperate ways trying to locate the restaurant. We all were texting and calling each other to see whom had arrived. What a chaos. It took us almost an hour to reach the said destination and all mood was already being spoiled. Anyway, the food was not up to my expectation but some did say it is very good. Half day gone for sake of a PIG.

Then the gals wanted to enjoy the rest of the day by going for spas. We guys are happy to hear so and wanted to clap our hands and cheer Hooray but somehow, we dare not to.. we just had eye contact as if we know what we all meant... hee hee.. Deep down inside their heart, they all already celebrating! The gals took off and left us the guys to think of where to go with a few MILLIONS of rupiah and sperms also... hee hee

Then one suggested to go massage and another say go karaoke. One even say go to "Men" spa... I told them we cannot do this to our wives.. we must cherish them and not hurt them... then Kevin says he will pay for all my expenses so I gave in... hahaha... In the end, you know what the guys did? We did all THREE of them (massage, karaoke and spa). We went to a center called the GUYS HANG OUT. Upon reaching the entrance, already can feel that our heart pumping very fast. A lady approach us and guided us into a karaoke room. Then in came the GRO's. Each of us chose 1 lady and the session begins. Drink, sing, hug..... the atmosphere is getting very steamed up so off we head for jacuzzi... we stripped naked along with the GRO's... spend sometime there and we were guided to the massage rooms. The GRO's can do very very good massage and it was very sensual... so when the small head takes control over the big head... no need to tell what happen lor.. i think u all knows... Then suddenly I heard a woman voice shouting "Sei Lou ! Kiu Kai!"... I turn over and saw my wife instead of the GRO... I scream the lungs out of myself...AAAHHHHH!!!!... then we woke up and realize it was just a dream... kekekeke... well, well... back to reality liao... the guys holding a can of beer in our hand with a drop of tear appearing in our eyes.....

p/s: the paragraph above is just to build excitement of reading pleasure. None of it is real. Deep in our heart we only love our other half. We will not betray them!.... Right guys?... or maybe I should put "not yet betray"..... hahahaha

Enough of day dreaming, we guys walk around the Kuta area for hours and had a drink in a cafe. 7 guys, staring at each other wondering what to do. Finally we ended doing an hour massage ( a decent one) and then went back to the hotel to swim.... what a afternoon!..... The gals came back from their 3 hours spa session and we then went out for dinner. After the dinner, what else.... we went clubbing again... and since it is the last night, we drank and dance the hell out of ourselves... espeacially the ladies... Would like to thank Vteck for buying us the drinks. Pictures below tells a million words, so I'm not going to say much then.... enjoy the pictures....

The next and final day, we did nothing much but some last minute shopping. At 12pm, check out of the hotel and went straight to the airport to catch our flight back to Malaysia. Overall, another good trip with some old and new friends... looking forward for the next trip!

Bali Island - 2nd day

Alright, here's the 2nd day of our huge group trip to Bali Island.

Woke up early at 7 am in the morning for breakfast. I have earlier on planned and arranged a 1 day tour with a agency there via email. Since there were 20 people of us, so a bus was arranged. At 8.10am, we all walked to the beach waiting for pick up. 1st stop was a dance performance called the Barong Dance at Batubulan Village. It was a huge place with a seating capacity of at least 400 pax. Anyway, the dance was not what we all expected. This dance comes with a story and jokes that somehow did not impress any of us. It took an hour for the performance to finish. I bet someone did fall asleep during the show.. hee hee

Next we were brought to a Gold and Silversmith located in Celuk. It was a quick drop in as we left in just 15 minutes. No one bought anything there except for Rachel I think. I think not much commision the guide could fork out of us... hee hee. We hopped back onto our bus and head for the Mount Batur in Kintamani. It was raining cats and dogs when we arrive and the fog covered the view of the mountain. It was rather dissapointing but there's nothing much we could do about it. The buffet lunch otherwise was quite good actually with quite a lot of food choices to savour. We filled up our stomach and head to our next destination - The Tirta Empul Temple. It was still raining when we reached but nothing gonna stop us. The temple was a small one but had some history behind it. We saw worshippers cleansing themselves in the cold spring water pools before they could enter the temple. From adults to even kids were bravering the cold just to pay their respect and worship the gods. As we board our bus again, Ms Yean then requested to visit the rice paddy terrace field. She mention it was quite a view. So I talk to our guide and we did drop by for some pictures... hee hee


We were then brought to the Art market in Ubud for some shopping. Arrive the market at 4.45pm and we were only given 45 minutes to shop as the guide said time is running short. Now this is the place where the ladies showed their barganing skills. Price not right, moved on and eventually they will call you back and then you will feel proud as you had win the price negotiation. But you'll feel sad when someone else purchase the same thing with a lower price. Anyway, I think almost everyone bought something there. We then rush to Uluwatu for the Temple on the Rock. It will take 1 and half hours to reach. When we reach there, it was already pitch black. Some of guys are already pissed with the long distance drive. We did not enter the temple. We then head for our last destination, Jimbaran Beach for seafood dinner. All 20 of us, sits on the beach sand, listening to the waves while waiting for our food to be serve. The seafood dinner was quite good. We were given crab, prawns, fish, clams, cuttlefish, soup and vegetables. This meal will at least cost RM35 - RM45 in Kuala Lumpur per person. As it was our last stop, Kevin bought us all beers to go along with the food. Thank you so much Kevin!

There ends our 1 day tour. The journey from one place to another was too far as we spent most of the time on the bus itself. As for the lunch and dinner, it was very worth it indeed. All in transport, meals, entrance tickets etc etc for 12 hours... 1 pax is only at about RM70. A good deal!

It was about 9.30pm when we reach our hotel and we decided to head for a dip in the pool. The pool was filled with young westerners which to the guys are very entertaining.. hee hee.. we all chit chatted and drank more beers. As the time almost reaches midnight, I then suggested to go for a walk at the Legian street... hee hee... at 1st I thought no one will follow Tracy and I but then I was wrong. Daniel, Reis, KP, PZ, Butt, Mark, Kevin and Rachel tagged along. We chose a discotheque without air conditioning. Very stuffy inside but still a lot of patrons. Saw some local chicks dancing on the stage while we down our beers again... hee hee... We ended the night at about 2am++.

There goes another day! Tune in for more exciting happenings the last few days. SEXTIFACTION GUARANTEED! .. hee hee....See ya!

Bali Trip (28th Feb - 3rd Mar 2009)

1st Day - 28th February 2009

Just came back from a trip with the same usual gang and some new friends! Total of 20 people! Biggest gang of people I have gone for a trip! They were:-

Gary & Tracy
Kian Ping & Pei Zhi
Vteck & Stella
Kevin & Rachel
Butt & Avis
Mark & Yean
Daniel & Reis
Eric & Reiko
Ah Fai & Peggy
Esther & Esther's Mom

Anyway, we went to Bali Island. Reached the island at about 12.30pm and straight we went to check into our hotel. While we're checking in at the reception, Kevin has the urge for some beers. So we both went to search for it. It was our 1st beer and drank non stop the rest of the day. Anyway, the hotel was okie with lots of westerners ladies which we all enjoy watching but the toilet of our rooms is lousy with dirty waters. After that we met up with Eric, Reiko, Esther and her mum which arrives a day earlier and we went for lunch. Lunch was at the beach side, an economical lunch. Then straight we head for the roads... shopping... ice cream...

This is my 2nd time to the island. While we were walking down the streets, Tracy and I do recall the memories during our 1st trip. We walk by some nice stone carvings and we stop for photo shooting! Look at the pictures below. They really think they are super models.. no need to look at the camera one.. haiya... Anyway, continued walking around the area. All the while the guys was holding a can of beer in their hands.... Hee hee

At about 4.30pm, we head back to the hotel to meet up with the 2nd batch of friends, Vteck, Stella, Kian Ping and Pei Zhi. As they were hungry, a few of us went for a bite with them while others stayed in the hotel. Tracy and I had a foot massage that night. It costs only about RM 15.00 for an hour. Cheap right? Later in the night we went clubbing till early morning.

That's basically how our 1st day in Bali ended.... please come by to check out the 2nd day... coming real soon...

Have you seen him so handsome before?

Was free today, and decided to surf the internet. Somehow got hold of this picture of our wonderful friend BANTWAN. It is written in the internet :-

"Mr Lee Ban Twan - Web Services Manager".

We are so proud of you!

Have you guys seen him so handsome and smart before? can use this picture for love matching company liao... sure got lots of reply one... hee hee

B.A.M. CNY Gathering 2009 - 5th February 2009

As usual BAM will have a CNY gathering for the members and public. This time it was held in The Pub, Shangri La Hotel KL. The turn out was great with I think about 200 pax. International buffet and free flow of beer and soft drink was served. A lot of high profile bosses and even celebrities were there. I managed to get a few friends of mine to join and we really drank a lot of beers that night. In the end, I was a bit drunk liao. Anyway, I would like to thank them for the support towards the association.
