Raya 2008




It's been a while since my last post.
This year raya, we celebrated at my hometown in Ipoh.
My wife helped mum with the raya dishes..i think it's the mee kari..every year ade special raya dishes..(apart from normal lemang+rendang ayam, nasik impit+kuah sate, etc..)
My sis prepared the cakes and brownies..my younger brother helped to prepare the cakes and dishes.. and I got the chance to bring Meerul pegi semayang raya..seronok dia pegi masjid.

The only thing was he didn't want to have his breakfast..tu yang merunsingkan..
Dia behaved ok la..ikut when rukuk, sujud..Normally kalau duduk antara dua sujud, he will lunjurkan kaki ke depan, but this time, I had demonstrated how to duduk antara dua sujud masa maghrib prayer the day before...
After semayang raya, we went straight to Opah Yang's house..nasib baik meerul makan cake..at least ade la isi perut sikit.
Here are some of the photo collections masa raya..
2nd of raya, we went back to Kajang..

A night at Avillion Port Dickson














It was a memorable trip to Port Dickson although we spent extra for a Beach Room in Avillion. For RM252++, I got 2 single beds, a long couch(you can sleep on it) and a good service. Since I'm traveling with my wife and 2 kids, you would need someone to carry the luggage to the room.(with the stroller, VCD player, periuk nasi, food for kids, etc) And to my surprise, the guy who welcomed us at the lobby moved our things once I told them I've got my key. Sure they are fast, but maybe because, it's Sunday and less people check-in :)
The water chalet looks nice but a bit too expensive. I might give it a try on my next trip to PD.
Previous trip to PD, I stayed in Bayu Beach Resort. The service and breakfast are average, and the rooms are below average. I've stayed in their service apartment and the hotel room.
Back to Avillon..the nice things about this resort is they maintained the landscape and employ lots of staff(including foreign labor-a lot too) to make sure things went well.











You can take your kids to visit the pet farm on spend time at the swimming pool.(there's one for kids)
Every day at 10am, there's the 'feed the pet' time at the pet farm. If you are lucky, you can even see squirrels running on the atap roof and monkeys jumping from branches.

If it's raining, hey, they actually place an umbrella in the room so you would still be able to go out.
On Monday morning, I spent time at the kids area(a big size room with few toys to play with) At first, I was planning to make it to the pool with my kid, hesshh..have to cancel it last minute.
If you are bored enough, just pay rm10 and you can play playstation for 1 hour.(not sure what games they have for you)


To summarize the trip, it was a wonderful one and I plan to stay in the water chalet on next trip but.... I must be willing to fork out around rm500 for a stay there during the weekdays. Weekends are expensive and may be too crowded.

Proton Saga BLM





A new saga...
Well..talking about the new Proton Saga, it excites most Malaysian since our old Proton Saga has finally evolved to a new era, with changes on the interior and exterior.
With permission, I hope hostvibes don't mind me posting their pictures here, since the photos have been already signed with 'hostvibes'.
You can also visit hostvibes for more insight of this monster.(it's supposed to be a compliment ya)
The rear looks kinda cool, reminds me of toyota, and the interior looks a bit similar to Savvy.
Savvy at a price of 42k is considered expensive compared to the BLM Saga selling at 30k-40k. (maybe because Savvy uses Renault engine while Saga uses campro)
It could also be selling at a lower value to attract buyers.(with only basic specs)
MyVi 1.3 is also selling around 40k and this could make BLM attractive considering bigger boot space and lower FC.

If the FC is proven to be low and economical, the sales will be surely surpass MyVi.
Savvy and Gen2 showed a slight improvement in terms of quality and parts used. We just hope Saga BLM will further prove Proton is not just talking nonsense in terms of quality and their 'Dare to Change' motto.
All the best Proton..
