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!

Kalori Diet?

Assalamualaikum ... Aku ingatlah kan yang blog aku ni sejak aku post cerite cerite seharian takde orang nak baca. Ada jugak ye? Insyaallah aku akan terus menulis!  Hari ni aku sibuk dok kire kalori.  Nak kurus!!!  Korang tahu tak sejak aku buat pembedahan masa zaman kanak kanak baru akil baligh dulu aku punye berat naik membuak buak!  Maka selepas balik ke Malaysia pada tahun 2013 rasanya. Aku start berdiet. Atkins diet. Dalam masa 2 bulan berjaya!!! 20 kilo turun.  Dari berat 99 ke almost 77. Bayangkan, masuk Uniqlo boleh pilih je. Pilih je!!!  Saiz XXL dulu skang masuk M jek.  Tapi bila aku berhenti kerja, travel selama sebulan then masuk company baru, bermulalah diet yo-yo. Berat naik balik tapi takdelah seberat 98. Tapi this time better sebab aku dah fit!  Nak start balik Atkins sedikit malas. Memang biasa sebenarnya, untuk korang yang nak start diet, 2 - 3 minggu memang tak leh nak on track lagi.  ...

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 ...
