Dinner @ Restoran Sampan, Under The Bridge ;)

Restoran tu bukan la betul2 under the bridge, tapi tepi laut dekat dengan jambatan pulau pinang..

Jalan dari hotel ke tempat makan memang mencabar jiwa raga mak yang memang dah kelaparan ni ;) sesakk! 

Elok je sampai kat restoran tu, hujan turun dengan lebatnya. kat restoran tu, ada tempat makan yang 'open air' dan bawah khemah. memula memang kami nak makan kat area 'open air' tu sekali hujan turun.. dah la masa tu memang semua makanan dah sampai.. berkejaran la juga angkut makanan semua tu ke bawah khemah.

Aku tak ingat berapa ekor ikan kami order, berapa pinggan kerang bakar kami habiskan, berapa banyak sotong tepung masuk perut.. tapi total semua RM600++ .. makanan dia biasa je, macam kedai tomyam yang lain. bos cakap makanan sini sedap sebab tu dia suggest datang sini.. mungkin makanan dah sejuk sebab tu rasa dia biasa je.. apapon, kenyangggg ;)


Lepas dinner, aktiviti bebas. pusing2 la area situ pastu macam tak tahu nak ke mana terus menghala balik ke batu feringghi.. hahaha.. sebelum sampai hotel, singgah tengok gerai2 tepi jalan sepanjang batu feringghi tu tapi mahal gila barang kat situ. not recommended at all! siap boleh nak tipu kitaorang cakap baju hard rock diorang jual tu original, RM70 sahaja.. cis, agak2 la weih nak tipu pon.


Aku beli fridge magnet je, 3pcs/rm10.

takde yang menarik pon.. sebagai syarat je.. aku paling tak suka ada word yang tampal2 tu.. tapi tu je pon yang ada dan menarik..

jalan2 kat area tu tak sampai setengah jam pon sebab harga memang cekik darah. terus balik hotel, park kereta, pergi lepak minum.. hihi...

pastu balik bilik, sleep like a rock star!!! hahaha..

Family Day @ Penang

Citer pergi melaka belum publish lagi nak langkau terus cite pasal trip ke Penang last weekend :) gambar2 kat Melaka belum dapat lagi dari my sisters. Punya berjanggut aku tunggu tak sampai2. takpe2, kita proceed dengan jalan2 ke Penang dulu.


Jalan2 ke Penang ni sebenarnya family trip company encik suami. Ni first time dorang buat family trip. Pilihan awal nak ke Pulau Perhentian atau Pulau Redang tapi last minutes terpaksa tukar sebab 2 pekerja perempuan dorang pregnant. Boleh dorang berpakat pregnant sama2 ;) tapi at least Penang pon pulau gak kan? hahaha.. Memang penang dah masuk dalam holiday list aku tahun ni tapi tak sangka plak, plan tu menjadi kenyataan lebih awal.. alhmadulillah, memang rezeki.. semua fully supported by the company. dan part paling best, kami semua dapat stay kat hotel yang memang aku nak sangat2 dok - hard rock hotel penang. kalau sape2 tahu pasal hotel ni, tahu la berapa rate per night kan.. alhamdulillah, semuanya dipermudahkan..


Masa mula2 encik suami balik bagitau kita semua akan stay kat hard rock hotel, perasaan aku memang excited gila.. hahaha! mana tak excited, dapat pergi penang (serius aku rindu gila penang) dan dapat dok kat hotel idaman hati.. walaupon hanya dok setahun je penang,  banyak kenangan kat penang ni... kalau aku bercerita kenangan kat penang ni, mau tak abis cite family day ni..hikhik.. kenangan yang aku simpan, ingat seumur hidup aku. kenangan naik feri, meronggeng di pesta pulau pinang, lepak kat padang kota. ya Allah, serius banyak gila kenangan.. semua manis2, yang tak manis pon ada tapi lama2 macam rasa manis juga..wakakakakakk...


ok, back to the right track, perjalanan ke penang bermula pada pukul 10.00 pagi hari jumaat, 25 Mei 2012. semua gather2 kat office encik suami. hanya 2 orang je tak follow trip ni which is laki bini, yang mana bininya tengah mabuk2..hihi.. kak sha, insya Allah ada rezeki, kita pergi tempat lain ek?

bersepah kan office diorang. haha.. 

mana tak bersepah, boss dengan GM yang balut hadiah lucky draw.. ko hadoo? hahaha..

perjalanan bermula. kami konvoi 4 buah kereta.. carpool je.. ada 4 kereta lagi belum bertolak sebab ada hal yang tak dapat dielak. lepas solat jumaat baru dorang bertolak..

Serius aku memang excited every time lalu kat area matriks aku dulu, kat pongsu seribu, kepala batas.. boleh nampak dari highway. serius, banyak kenangan.. kan eena kan.. walaupon masa tu aku tak kenal pon ko.. hehehe..

Setelah 4 jam lebih perjalanan, singgah 2 kali kat R&R Tapah dan satu lagi lupa.. akhirnya, kami sampai penang dengan jayanya. 

penang here we come

masa aku kecik2, aku pernah keluar kereta snap pic kat tepi jambatan tu.. hahaha.. 

terus ke Batu Feringghi untuk check in hotel. entri pasal hotel akan menyusul selepas ni.. hahaha.. 

trademark hard rock.. gitar...

Masuk je hotel, terus guling2 atas katil.. hehehe.. penat gila. encik suami dengan colleague dia kena tunggu chairman sampai dulu nak sambut kat lobby..

ni aku menggedik sesorang dalam bilik.. haha..

Selepas tu, tetiba encik suami bawa balik nasi goreng ayam kunyit, dia cakap terjumpa kedai tomyam depan hard rock hotel. malas nak pikir terus beli.. tapi serius sedap.. aku teringat2 la plak.. lunch memang tak provide sebab semua orang tak gerak sekali so payah nak gather2, so lunch makan je apa yang ada.. masa tu dah pukul 4 lebih. tapi sepanjang jalan dah melantak macam2, buah la, snack la.. lepas makan, berehat kat bilik je sebab lepas maghrib nak keluar dinner 'under the bridge'.. aku tak tidur dok mengusik encik suami yang memang flat.. hahaha..

ready for dinner..

nanti sambung, aku ada training hari ni kat limkokwing university, cyberjaya..

30 hours ago, I escaped from being kidnapped

It's not me, tapi me ambil cite ni dari facebook dan share kat sini untuk renungan kita semua...

As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive.

To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being kidnapped and raped.

It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. I was alone, walking towards my boyfriend's car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car. Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5'8", mid-30s, and of Indian descent.

At this moment, second man appeared. He was also in his mid-30s. He was wearing a red t-shirt, had a crewcut, and was of Malay descent. He grabbed my car keys and demanded for my parking ticket. I couldn't remember where it was. They shoved me deeper into the car, and the Indian man got into the back seat with me, while the Malay man got into the driver's seat, driving us out of the carpark.

I told them they could take everything, just let me go. But at that point they didn't even ask for money. Instead, the Indian man started to make sexual advances. Then it hit me. "Oh my God. Oh my God. This is really happening. I'm being kidnapped.. and I think I know what they want."

//

From this moment on, there were a few crucial things that happened that I think is the reason I'm alive today.

1. I managed to get into a position to escape.
 When they got into the car, the Indian man had tried to force my body down onto the floor. I knew that the moment I'm on the floor, there would be no chance of escape. So I begged him to let me sit up. I promised him I wouldn't scream or alert anyone's attention. Thankfully, he trusted me, and let me sit up, gripping my arm tightly. Then I told him my arm really hurt and to please not grip it so hard. He loosened his grip.
