Bangkok 2012: Arriving Bangkok & First Day in Bangkok

I dont have  a lot of pictures to snap in Bangkok. Most of the time, I rely on my friend's mobile phone.
Mine is full! Its time to get a new memory card for my phone.

We arrived in Bangkok around 1200 hrs. First thing we did was, looking for a muslim food!
For your information, muslim food in Bangkok is not so difficult to get. As long as you are willing to ask people, try to discover yourself and use your sixth sense you will be able to find it! Haha!

In the Hua Lamphong Train Station (Central Train Station in Bangkok), there is a huge food court. You may get a Halal food in one of the booth. Besides, you will find a place called "TEMPAT SEMBAHYANG" or prayer area for Muslim!

Just ask the tourist officer around here, they are willing to help with no charge!

Well, since Ive been here last year during flooding, I know another one place which is located in front of the Hua Lamphong  Train Station. The owner can speak in Thai-Malay Golok Style (sort of Oppa Gangnam Style). Since we were too hungry, we choose to eat Omellete (Telur Dadar),Chicken Green Curry, Soup (beef), Chicken (I dont know the name) and some ulam. He charged us 130 Baht! Cheap!

How to get here?
Just walk through the main exit of the Central Train Station Hua Lamphong you will see a 7-Eleven and Hong Kong Noodles. Next to the Hong Kong Noodles there is a way to the MRT station. Walk the other way, you will see a small lane which are 'covered' by the food stall. Take that lane and turn right, walk around 50 meters you will see the restaurant on your left. If you walk ahead, you will see another muslim restaurant on your right, just a few lot shop from the first one. These retaurant are open from morning time until around 5 - 6 pm.

After lunch, we check-in to our hotel. This hotel has a modern style design and absolutely expensive since we are on low budget. We take a shower and head back to the Central Train Station Hua Lamphong looking for a train ticket Bangkok - Butterworth which cost us 1120 Baht per person!

Then, we move to Silom, this place is very popular with a place call PatPong and PatPong Night Market.

We come back to our hotel around 2130 hrs and get rest!

Our first day expenses was:
1. Lunch 130 Baht
2. Hostel 900 Baht (@Hua Lamphong Hotel, just infront of the MRT Station)
3. Train to Silom 72 Baht
4. Dinner 200 Baht
5. Misc 50 Baht
6. Train Bangkok - Butterworth 1120 Baht X2

Im sorry, I dont have pictures for these!

Marine Engineering Bridging Program

Assalamualaikum ... DONE! It would be the best word to describe when I'm done my 2-year training ... 2 years isn't easy path for me to walk through ... Last week, I get back home after a few weeks struggle for my exams ... Theory exam (Oral Exam) at MARDEP Port Kelang ... MSCR exam (Marine Survical Craft & Rescue) at ALAM Melaka ... and a few courses before and after the exams ... Alhamdulillah ... I passed all the exams ... Now, it is the time for me to apply for my CoC (Certificate of Competency) ... 2 years back ... I remembered when one of the staff from my company said ... 'Your Degree is Useless ... You can burn it!' Phewwww! Just put yourself in my shoes ... :p When I was onboard ship ... Some peoples discriminate me and my buddy ... Just because we have a piece of paper ... B.eng Mechanical is nothing to them ... But then, its something to us ... A few cadets argued about how much we earned per month ... Nothing he shared with us ... Help with hidden agenda

MAnILa: CatATAn PerTAmA!

Nota Pertama: Penerbangan ku pada jam 1340 waktu tempatan. dari pintu C17, KLIA, perasaan ku sedikit cuak. Bimbang. Takut. Maklumlah, kali ni aku akan mengembara sendiri. Sebagai pengambara bebas (Independent Traveller). Independent Traveller: dengan bajet yang rendah, tak bergantung pada tour agent dan semuanya sendiri. Ada juga pegembara yang mengembara bersama teman, kawan, keluarga dan juga seorang! Ini adalah kali pertama aku mengambara bersendirian. Kalau sebelum ni, trip ke Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Kemboja dan Vietnam, aku bersama kawan. Aku merasa sedikit takut. Banyak sangat benda bersarang di fikiran aku sekarang. Walaupun aku ditemani Visa & Mastercard, mereka bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh aku harapkan. Ya, sekarang aku sedang mencabar diri aku! Aku mencabar diri aku sendiri ... aku letakkan ketepi kehidupan biasa di rumah. Sekarang adalah masa untuk aku kenal siapa aku ... untuk aku membaiki kebolehan diri, cara berkomunikasi, kekuatan diri dan jiwa, pegangan aku, kebole

B.Eng boleh bawak mati!

Assalamualaikum ... I met one of my friends in her campus ... Well, she's a medical student ... Sweet and nice isn't it? or maybe ... COOL! We have been talking about her life and so mine ... Talking about job ... and a comparison about being a doctor and me ... marine engineer ... What maked her impress is the figure that i will received each month ... mmmmm .... i think its tooo selfish to talk about money here ... But what makes me feel stupid about her is ... When she used to say this stupid statement ... "Macam mana ko punya gaji lagi besar dpd aku huh? Padahal kos kau tak adalah susah sangat" Pergh ... What do you think my friends? One word crossed in my mind: BODOH! Dia tak tahu ke ... yang founder GENTING BERHAD tu kerja asalnya tukang kutip besi buruk? Last-last gaji mahal dari kita semua yang ada B.ENG? Dia tak tahu jugak ke yang mamat founder MICROSOFT tak habis degree pun? Rumusan: Manusia bongkak dengan sekeping degree yang diorang dapat! Assalamualaikum
