I Love Kuching But I Hate The Traffic

What?! I only posted once in September? So unproductive. Duhhhh

I guess I'm so caught up with things like work, gym, and guys. Okay the last part I lied. No guys.

I was so stressed over my upcoming final thesis presentation that I didn't get to enjoy the short break in my hometown recently. I got so worked up and I felt like a walking corpse only to be told on the day of the presentation that it has been postponed!

For goodness sake. Made me so worked up for nothing.

Wish me luck for the viva voce guys. I can't wait to get this over with.

Was in Kuching for a short break last week but didn't get to do much except spending 2 nights in a beach resort and hibernating at home. Bliss.

Not. My mind was in turmoil.

By the way, I love Kuching for soooo many things but there are certainly things that need to be improved. Like the road conditions, driving experience, and this I will poret about.

1. Terrible Road Condition

Most of the roads in Kuching are uneven with so many potholes. Banyak tampal sana sini. You can't drive faster than 60km/hour without feeling like you are in a boat on a rough sea!

Macam naik bot I tell you. Is it because of the soil? (Swampy areas has roads that sink and rise like a little hill)

Is it because of road abuse by big lorries?

Is it because of the poor workmanship of the contractors?

And have you noticed, roads in Kuching are quite slippery with no visible white line? Without streetlights in some places.

Can you imagine the difficulty driving on these roads at night with heavy rain?

2. Narrow Roads And Parking Spaces

So narrow in some places. Wheelbarrow pun tidak boleh lalu.

Ok, exaggerating.

Oh did I tell you about some of the parking spaces? No driving school can teach you the skills to park in these narrow parking spaces (holes).

You'll just have to learn from experience and a few scratches and dents on your car.

And why was the parking spaces designed so small when a lot of the vehicles are 4WDs?

3. There Are Just Too Many Cars In Kuching

Doesn't this sound like exaggerating coming from someone who spends most of the time in KL where there are even more cars?

I guess, relatively, because of wider and better road conditions, it doesn't feel that congested in KL.

Orang Kuching bukan lah semua kaya but they have no choice other than to own a car because the public transport in Kuching is poorly well-developed.

Narrow roads and too many cars caused unnecessary stress. To me at least.

4. There's A Traffic Light Every Half A Kilometer

There's a roundabout everywhere and then there are traffic lights every half a kilometer and there's so much traffic jam because of that.

5. No Alternative Route To Get To Main Town

Many of the routes in Kuching has no alternative, for example, the Kuching - 7th mile- 10th mile-Serian route.

With so many people staying out of town, it has become the main road but whenever something happens on that route, the jam is so massive because there's no other road to use!

I might come across as a kacang lupakan kulit, snotty biatch but I do love Kuching. It's my home and all my loved ones are there!

But, I think a lot of Kuchingnites will agree with me that yes, Kuching is a wonderful and fast-developing city but it definitely needs proper town planning.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus. Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE . So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed. Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
