Work & Travel

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Random, Travel

Oh my god.. after writing the last post, I was looking around and found this site that offers a job on a cruise ship! Plymouth Auctioneering provides services for Park West at Sea which is a company that conducts fine art auctions on cruise ships. They’re now hiring and listen to this:

Significant income, often in six figures, is realistically obtainable. Successful candidates will live and work aboard a cruise ship for an average of 4-5 consecutive months, and home for a vacation averaging 4-5 weeks.

Wow, that sounds like a dream come true job for me… up to SIX figures income, I repeat SIX! Then working on cruise ships.. luxurious cruise ships, plus you get 4-5 weeks of vacation time at your home. This is basically the opposite of most of other jobs. It’s not as hard and as stressful as other jobs too where you have to do billions of paperwork, run here and there.. and you get to deal with arts by auctioning them. Of course, for this kind of job, you need to have good sense of humor and personality because it deals with public speaking, no? So you need to be good in customer service, PR etc.. for me, I need to work on that, alot. I tend to get shy sometimes and quiet with nothing to say. I gotta work on having spontaneous mind which should just spontaneously appears when I’m in conversation. Then maybe I can apply for a job like this..the job is already sort of ‘vacationing while working’, plus time off from it for more than a month or so and with the possibility of earning lots… damn. Plus a good environment to work in, cruise ships :D My top priority.

Vacation

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Random, Travel

Everyone needs a vacation right? Especially to get rid of stress, and to get away from the busy city life to just relax and enjoy yourself. So what kind of places do you like to go for a vacation? Me, I like different types of place.. first I like the beach. I found out staring into the big ocean, and listening to nothing but the sound of wave totally relaxes me and makes me forget all the problems that I have. I also like going to a place with nature.. totally pretty, green nature :) Last but not least, places with architecture. Like Rome, Britain, Romania etc with great gothic architecture and castles. Totally love them. Of course if I have LOADS of money, I’d go to places where I can spend them, lol. Like Paris, Milan, Tokyo, etc

You wanna know what else I’d like? A CRUISE! Damn I’d love a cruise in a 5 stars cruise ship.. would love it even more with someone I love hehe. Luxurious only, not just some dingy cheap and small cruise ship lol. Cuz when I’m on vacation, I want to get pampered. Nice rooms, nice service, nice facilities, nice spa, nice meal, all that.. you know high class service. Hey I can dream, can’t I?

If you’re a traveler, you can check travelstoreusa.com and cruiselocators.com. You can see pictures of cruise ships in that site like omg.. I so wanna go now. If you’re planning on a vacation, check those sites out, really useful. And it’s worldwide too, so you can go anywhere in the world. Maybe to Milan for shopping, Japan for culture and history vacation or Fiji honeymoon vacation, and take me with youuuuu! I’ll be good I promise. lol.

KL Trip & Restoran Bumbu Bali

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Food, Photos, Travel

Last night I went to Kuala Lumpur… urgh I fell asleep at 3 am and woke up at 8 am.. lol.. after rushing with showering, getting stuff ready, drying hair… H came and picked me up at 9 am -ish. We went with his car this time so he’s driving all the way lol. I was freaking out that the car can’t handle long distance trip and would break down in the middle of nowhere. We stopped at 7-11 first because he needed sore throat medicine.. he chugged too much beer the night before lol…Charles and his alcohol love and trying to get people to drink too :P

His car only have cd player, so I can’t play my mp3 player so it was boring :( On the way I saw a jeep that possibly have lost control, spun around and hit the divider because the windows were cracked. I didn’t see dead body tho so person must have survived. Then there’s roadblock… hehe I love it how drivers on the opposite side would give us warning when there’s a police speed trap roadblock :D Police would be like “Hmm funny, Malaysians aren’t speeding..! Something’s not right..!” Haha.

Reaches at around 12pm-ish, we stopped at petrol station, withdrew money and went straight to Suria KLCC (the petronas twin tower) for lunch. The funny thing is, it’s H’s first time driving in KL.. and he started to drive like typical wild and crazy KL people while swearing obscenities at people.. Haha.. He’s starting to get that KL’s road rage/anger like me! Well, I took him to the foodcourt where I had my usual ….

kltrip2.jpg

……..YOSHINOYA!! Omg I missed it. :D And surprisingly they changed the set and if you have jusco card you get free chawanmushi.. YAY!!!! My favorite.

kltrip1.jpg

They changed the veggies to coleslaw.. not bad :D

kltrip3.jpg

…I told him Laksa Shack has the best laksa (type of noodle) in KL so he ate there and he agreed.

kltrip5.jpg

So while eating, and me oogling hot foreigners and him oogling hot foreign chicks, I tried to open my chawanmushi and guess what? You’ve heard of papercut right? This one is plastic cut.. first time.. SLICE.. second time.. SLICE!. So I had him to open it and I had bleeding thumb :( After eating we went looking for band-aid for my bleeding, throbbing thumb, lol… then went looking for books at Kinokuniya… I bought a Japanese reference book XD He chipped in half. Before leaving we saw these:

kltrip6.jpg

OH MY FUCKING GOD Creme Brulée!!!! I couldn’t resist so H bought me one (the strawberry) and he had the choc… both taste oh so damn heavenly!!!

Then went to my hospital, bought my medicine and at the parking lot we ate our Creme Brulée and took a picture -

kltrip7.jpg

Ok I look horrible because of lack of sleep and bad lighting but what the hell. lol.

Then we head down to Puchong… where I wanted to eat dinner at this exclusive Bali-themed restaurant.. we couldn’t find it at first and H was getting cranky.. so his cranky activated MY cranky button so I was like having a very hard time to control myself from spitting vulgar words at him.. but I seriously didn’t want it to turn out into a horrible trip so … yeah… I also got cranky because didn’t get my SL time (usually I’d stop at my place to get on SL but H didn’t let me pffft) but getting sms from certain someone cheered me up a bit.. and when we finally found the restaurant and I tasted the food.. GODDAMN. I’m all cheered up. We went to BUMBU BALI RESTAURANT at BANDAR PUTERI PUCHONG.

The restaurant has a Bali look.. of course .. and with Bali stuff. We wanted to be on 1st floor but it was closed until dinner time.

Here are the stuff that we ordered -

kltrip10.jpg

I don’t know what H had but the big glass is mine and oh my god it tastes so good.. it’s erm coconut milkshake or something? Mixed with fruits …. god it was the best drink I’ve ever tasted beside Oreo milkshake in secret recipe, LOL.

kltrip14.jpg

This is like chicken er.. nuggets? Er no, not nuggets.. i forgot what it’s called but H ordered this.. he let me taste and it’s good! I love the sauce.

kltrip16.jpg

This is also H’s food.. I forgot what it’s called too… lol. But it’s good too! Yummy.

kltrip15.jpg

This would be mine.. char-broiled ribeye steak and if it looks plain to you, wait till you taste it… it was the best damn steak I’ve ever tasted so far…! The black pepper sauce is good and the steak can be eaten without sauce and still taste so damn good. Also kinda taste like satay (malaysian’s grilled meat on bamboo skewers served with peanut sauce, super yummy).

kltrip17.jpg

So RESTORAN BUMBU BALI is definitely good and I’d have to go back there again, LOL. Then we left, we went to my soon-to-be college I hope (SEGI college) and omg, the nightview is wow… at night you can see the inside and I was like wow… it looks grand.. even H also agreed and was like wow… because seriously, you can’t compare it to Olympia college.. Olympia looks like an ant while Segi looks like elephant, LOL. Did I tell you how much I hate Olympia college? I forgot to take pictures :(

Then went straight home. I was too tired and fell asleep..H said he experienced some ‘weird’ things.. ghost maybe? lol. Then when we reached back there was another police roadblock.. we felt like stealing the submachine gun the policeman was carrying and shoot up Olympia College. Oh yeah.

That’s it.. hehe. I’m so frigging tired today. I need quick shower now and sleep.
