Oriental Kitchen Jaya 66

has the best sharks fin ever! I've never liked sharks fin. I've never liked lobster. I've never liked tong yuen with black sesame in ginger soup. Ginger soup? Yuck. But the tong yuen with black sesame was absolutely delicious. Gosh. I'm so gonna get fat with all the continuous eating. The food is so good I cannot resist. What's life without food! :P

I need exercise!

Water

I have to constantly remind myself not to drink water from the toilet sink. I've gotten so used to drinking water from the sink after I've washed my hands in London. Now I have to walk to the kitchen and take water from the water machine. I miss the tap water.

I know

You don't have to tell me or give me a full car-ride lecture. What you said is true but I just choose to ignore because I believe there is hope. I believe there's chances.

SS2 Foodcourt

Loh Mee, Fried Rice (wonder why the ckt and fried rice that my brother ordered last month tasted better :(. Gotta remember to ask my brother if he had special requests when he ordered.)

Ckt, Ling Chi Kang. Yums!

Happy Birthday to Bro and Carol :D and me :P

Didn't celebrate. Only had the most delicious grilled stingray with lotsa lotsa spicyness in Asia Cafe and char kuey teow.

The flight was killing but I survived. Constantly felt sick and felt like puking because I was so sleepy but couldn't sleep. Talked to some really nice people on the plane and watched 3 movies or was it 4. Lols. Movie marathon. I really like the Emirates Airbus A 380 now. Wide screen and wide seats! Power points. The only disadvantage was not very friendly stewardesses and an indian kid behind me who kicks every second on my seat until his mother swapped seats with him who then became the problem of the lady beside me.

I've always loved the Boeing 777. The stewardesses were a lil better but then came the problem of a really tall guy who stinks who sat beside me. I really felt sick and felt like dying. I miss the Continental Airlines flights. Next would be Cathay Pacific again and probably American Airlines. Look forward to February 15!

All Packed

and ready to fly!

I don't know how I feel really. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad. I feel like crying at some point. I'm gonna miss my Ma T_T but I believe in fate and I believe that going back is probably the best thing at this point of time. Look at the bright side, I get to eat chap fan and lots and lots of sambal, take a photo of my food everyday and make Aunty Beve jealous and become a big fat pig that has to push herself to the gym to make full use of her really expensive lifetime membership. *lol*

I will miss the pillow that I push aside and not sleep on, instead my head is always rested on a folded duvet. I totally regret not using the pillow because it smells so nice and I'm gonna miss it. Maybe I shud've placed it into the box that I ordered to be shipped home. T_T. Too late now.

I'm gonna miss my Ma. I'm gonna miss my Ma. I'm gonna miss my Ma. I already miss my Ma T_T. *emo*

p/s: Danyl Johnson was totally awesome in X Factor this week. He sang We Are The Champion. Olly Murrs was totally awesome too! I'm rooting for em all the way! =)

Happy Birthday Ky!

with lotsa lotsa love <3

no cliche wishings like stay sexy and pretty coz you're always sexy and pretty!

Hope you had a great 22nd! Present on it's way :). Sneak preview! It's wrapped so you can't see what's inside! hee (I've got the envelope somewhere...misplaced it while packing =x)

Taking for granted

I dislike people who owe me money.

I dislike people who say would help me get my money back and then does not unless I go out with both the person who owes me and the person who was suppose to help me get my money back.

I dislike people who takes 30 cents from me and doesn't give me back. 30 cents only, but I want to be the one saying, it's okay and not being taken for granted!

I dislike people who forgets to pay the person who paid or purposely does not pay.

I dislike people who takes advantage by charging unfairly.

All these happen too often since I was a little girl that I'm really phobic about it and really really hate it. I miss my best friends from college who won't owe a penny, would pay almost instantly in order not to forget and won't take advantage. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon.

Talked to one today and she asked what I wanted for my bday since she hasn't given me one ever since college. I told her I don't want any present and I asked her what she wanted instead. She said, you become chor yat, I become sap 5. Lol. I know what she wants though, she said she collects coins from countries so I told her I'm gonna dig out all my coins from Korea, America, Europe, and UK. :P So easy! omg! =x

I'm seeing them soon yay!

Kamari

all byself. My travel friend said he has a cold and don't feel like walking so, I had to go myself. It was, weird. Totally freaky. I ended up at Kamari, alone. I was contemplating to get off the bus. I did, and when the bus left, I regretted. No tourists, noone else, just me, myself and I. The place looked, deserted. There was 1 guy walking his dog on the beach, and another cleaning up the restaurant, and that was it. Famous beach...I see...*shaky hands and legs*. It had black sand, blue sea and was surrounded by hills. It was, pretty but I felt very lonely.

I took, a few photographs and felt a need to get outta there. No idea what time the bus was gonna come back though. So I made my way to Ancient Thira, following my map and the sign board. On the way, I found a travel buddy. Guess who? A dog. Lol. The dog followed me, up the hill, up the hill, up to the way to Ancient Thira. On the way, there was this sign that said, not open on Mondays. CRAP. It's Monday. Sigh. I wanted to turn back down, but then I wanted to get to Perissa which on the map said was after Ancient Thira via the road I was on. So I proceeded towards the road blocked by tractors and lorries.

There were people working on the road and it seemed blocked however the man said I could walk, so I did and I walked towards him. Then I pointed to the map and told him I wanted to get to Perissa. He looked at me with widened eyes and said. No...then he put his fingers up showing 4. 4 km far, he said. And then, he showed UP and then DOWN. And I was like? omg. Up the mountain down the mountain, 4 km. Gasp. It wasn't a pleasant walk. The mountain looked steep. Then I asked where was Ancient Thira, and he said up the mountain as well. *heart falls*. Then I said, okay, I'll walk back that way (back to Kamari where I came from). Thank you.

When I was back in Kamari, there was still no bus. *sigh* *frown*. Looks at the map, okay, I'll walk. The dog was still walking with me. So loyal. She wanted to chase the cat, she did, and when she remembered, she stopped and came back to walk beside me. I felt bad it had to accompany me walk so far. I walked, she walked, I stopped, she stopped. I continued walking and wanted to reach the next town. But after quite a distance, I went into a shop and asked where I was. She still said Kamari. I was like what? I think I'm well beyond Kamari. She probably didn't understand what I said, but I decided to stand there and wait for the bus. I saw the bus pass by finally after a few minutes but in the opposite direction. It was definitely gonna come back out. Alleluia. Happiness. But I felt guilty because, the dog, walked so far with me, and I was gonna leave it there and take the bus T_T. So, I took some water, and gave some to her, and i also gave her some of my Mousaka from last night which I brought along as my breakfast / lunch. At least that made me feel less guilty. Reward for accompanying me, which made me feel less weird when the Greeks stared at me and passed by. Bye bye doggy, I'm on the bus YES!

I arrived back at the station, and I only paid 40 cents for the ticket. It was suppose to be 1.40. Lucky! =). The trip was such a waste, but I guess, worth it after being charged that little.

Kamari Beach

My travel buddy, Miss Dog

I had to climb over this mountain to get over the other side which is Perissa. I'm not that insane yet...

Mousaka

again! Lols. This is my favourite Greek food. I tried it in another restaurant. It tasted nice, but a tad too dry. Watched the sunset from Fira again. It rained again when we were walking out. The weather really hates us today. Tomorrow should be nice sunny day. Beach!

Will be taking the bus to Perissa and then walk to Ancient Thira and Kamari and then take a bus back from Kamari. Hopefully the walk journey ain't 15 km. These places look really near each other on the map. Lol. We'll see!

p/s: Internet connection here is super awesome fast! Download speed...superb. =x

Ice Cweam

I had! Magnum cone. I chose something vanilla looking and it turned out to be chocolate T_T. It wasn't bad though...chocolate bottom was nice hee.

Gonna go watch the sun set again in Fira. The thunderstorm went away however, we couldn't go anywhere because the last bus to come back is at 4.15 pm and we wanted to go to Oia to see the sunset at 5.20 pm. No point. So it was back to the room for us. It's really room day. We attempted to get out twice and failed.

Worm

in my breakfast. I was terrified. Thank goodness I looked before I bite. I went back into the bakery to show him. He gave me back the 1 Euro I paid. After awhile I saw the boy throwing all the food out. So much for breakfast. I guess I've not a choice but to take 1 packet of the nuts that I've bought as souvenir. I don't even know if I can carry that much back to Malaysia. Eat first, think later. I really want to go back to the bakery that is 3 km away :(.

Someone said I look fat and it's ringing in my head. and Aunty Beef is spanking me with a frying pan LOL. This is so fun.

Thunderstorm

Today. And it's gonna last until 5 pm. The weather forecast is very accurate! I don't know if we're lucky or not. A day to rest our sore feet? lols. Honestly, the pain has gone already. I think.

I'm hungry :( and it's raining very heavily outside. No breakfast?! *looks into the bag for the souvenirs* *nyam* I'll just tell em, sorry no souvenirs from Greece because, I was hungry I ATE EM ALL! *with puppy eyes*. T_T I can't do it. But I'm hungry... *dang* the temptation of those nuts that was bought without any seal. They are those ancient paper bags.

That's here we were heading towards. I think we're almost there! NOT. That's where we were from, somewhere back there.

I think we're almost reaching, we're getting nearer, can you see?! Maybe not...

We're there we're there! In another hour. LOL. Finally there!? Another 800 metres a guy said, after 800 metres, the next guy says another 200 metres, and it went on. We were at the edge by then.

Akrotiri

isn't a mile away. It was probably 25 km away. Okay maybe 15 km, but it's the same when you have to walk up and down hills! We walked 3 km and someone local stopped and asked if we were going to Akrotiri. He offered us a ride! When I was in the car, I was laughing my ass off at myself for being so stupid. Walk? to Akrotiri? What a joke! It was so freaking far up and up the mountains and down and through winding roads. It would've taken us another 5 hours to get there.

On the way back, we wanted to take the bus. Unfortunately, there wasn't any. We waited, we walked, we waited, we walked... still no bus. After 5 km, we were still walking. Suddenly a car stopped. This guy asked if we dropped a camera. I was wondering why did he look so familiar. He was the owner of the hotel we stay in and we picked up a camera yesterday and handed it to him. He stopped because he thought we were the one who lost it. He then asked if we wanted a ride. RIDE! OMG RIDE! OF COURSE WE WANTED A RIDE?! T_T *tears of joy*

I was thirsty, but I was also desperate for the toilet and my legs were turning jello and the sun was so hot, and I look like half an indian. Why would I not want a ride!!!! I didn't bring my driving license :( no ATV for me on Monday! Sigh, I guess it's the bus...
