Things I Cannot Do Without Man

Yeah, I definitely need a man looking like that to change my tires. Ahhh man. Can't live with them, can't live without them either. Although I would like to think of myself as an independent woman, i can do most things on my own, there are lots of things that I can't do and I need a man to do it for me.  Besides making a baby that is. Yes, you can be egoistical feminist and say things like I don't need a man to have a child. There's sperm donor and fertility technologies and stuff. But you still need a MAN to be a sperm donor right? Yes they like independent woman but deep down, everyone wants to feel that they are needed isn't it? Sometimes it can be tricky to draw a line between dependency and needing.  Anyway, I need a man to: Help me carry heavy things. Muscle man. Help me with gadgets, cars and things like that. Oh you know that tip about bringing a guy to the workshop so the mechanics won't kelentong you. Recently my car kick up a problem...

Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Festival

This is a long overdue post. So the hot air balloon festival is an annual event, usually between March-April. The first time we went was probably 2-3 years ago. Sebab kami dua Anne kaki kuat jalan masa tu, sanggup naik teksi dari serdang pergi putrajaya. That was before I had a car. But we were extremely disappointed because it was raining and  it wasn't safe for the balloon to go up. Not to mention we were soaking wet. So this year we tried our luck again. The weather was lovely. Initially. Then dark clouds started to loom and you can hear the mighty thunder. So yeah, we did not get to see free flying hot air balloon. Again. Balloon baru mau kembang and naik sikit sudah kena tutup balik. I guess we have to try again next year. or the year after..depending on the weather. I guess the best time to go is the morning session (they have morning and evening session for free flying hot air balloon) as it is less likely to rain in the morning. We found a good spot to park out b...

Confession Of A Frequent Air Traveller

The sun rising over the horizon We started flying when we were little. Even so, it was still a luxury and something we really look forward to every time. There is something magical and special about airports, airplanes and being in the plane. I remembered when I was studying in Labuan, a return air ticket to Kuching would cost my parents a whooping RM1000+, RM800+ if we were lucky. At that time, we had no other choice but to use Malaysia Airlines. Over the years, more and more airlines came up and we have a lot more choices now. Air travelling became cheaper and many places were accessible. Like they say, now everyone can fly.  With so many airlines to chose from, we can afford to be choosy. When Air Asia first came up, many people choose to fly with A.Asia because well, it is affordable and cheaper than MAS. Me included. At that time, the service was good and it was a value for money. But over the years, the quality deteriorate. The tickets are cheap but with many hidden c...
