The love that cannot be

The big city.

You have won my heart, a hundred times over.

Though there are times that I can't stand navigating through your unexpected rages of traffic,
you are what I come back to, what I look forward to, in the end.

A short departure showed how much I could miss you.
Just the sight of familiarity,
the sights that I see daily zooming past the window
is enough to grant me serenity, warming my heart,
telling me: I'm back with my love.

The love may or may not be able to last forever, who, but time could tell?
But if you would have me, I would stay with you as long as my heart desires.

I may be poor and struggling, but struggle is just part of life.
Call me a romantic, but I believe that in the end,

Love conquers all.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

P.S. Have I told you lately that I love you?

Wild child stay wild

Random selfie. Because I like 

Hung out with my aunt and uncle yesterday. They migrated almost 40 years ago and I haven't seen them in more than 10 years before this, but this is my second time meeting them this year. 

#progress

Aunt is the slightly younger sister of my dad. Second child. Yesterday she revealed that she was the "samseng" when they were kids. Dad was the quiet good boy, and she was the ... boy. 

I said it's a second child thing. And she said to me, from a wild child to a wild child: Stay Wild. 

I should. Why lose myself to outside pressure and get nothing in return other than an identity crisis? 

So

 Stay wild, stay curious.

雨伞下的浪漫

这个月钱花的很凶。月中不到钱都快花光了。补了两颗牙就等于在户口里炸了两弹。

晚上在露天街边吃饭时，聊着天。突然他说了一句：“是不是下雨了？” “没有啊。”一溜出口，自己马上感觉到了第一滴雨。老天就像听到了我的答案觉得我羞辱祂，马上嘀嗒嘀嗒下雨了！

两人都吃着汤料配饭，店里又满座了，我们只好等店方打开大阳伞。等了一阵子，怎么还没来？

看雨没有要变小的感觉，他打开了伞，我们默默的站着，走也不是，不走也不是，只能两人傻傻的站在一把小伞下捍卫我们的食物。

店主终于发现下雨开始搭棚时已经大雨到不行了。周围的人都躲到店里去了，只剩我们两个傻瓜还围在桌旁。店主冲冲忙忙地搭了一个棚，那个棚就为我们搭的。帅吧。LOL 

一坐下，他又说：“和我吃晚餐就是会很多怪怪的经验。”

亲爱的，这种经验多少人有呢？就是以后我们不能在一起，至少我会是曾经和你从小伞吃饭吃到大棚底下的人。这种怪怪的，让人哭笑不得的经验，再多我都愿意。

八点后的土豪

最近公司风靡用 “土豪”。

我们这些中下阶级上班族当土豪的机会…*叹* 

我们的土豪日子就是月尾还能吃得好。

今天为了等AEON的八点寿司二十巴（仙）优惠而在那里晃了十多分钟。Btw，觉得晃个十多分钟能得到几块钱折扣很值得的朋友们请举手……然后默默地到下头留下comment。我们找天一起哽饭盒。

到了某年龄就是会开始多愁善感。吃个饭盒都可以写文章的… 可是今天他说和他一起总是做些怪怪的事情。熟悉Mid Valley AEON 的朋友们都会知道收银台尾尾有排木凳子。我们买了饭盒，就坐那边吃。过后看见提款机旁有AEON招募员工的桌子空着，我们再搬到那里去。

怪怪吗…？并没有。哽饭盒其实也可以很开心。重点是坐在桌子对面，也开开心心在哽饭盒的是谁。

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

P.s. 饭盒其实很好吃。很值得等。>_____< 

The Not-so-great Depression

Was talking to my friend the other day and mentioned about bloggers. She said she doesn't read blogs that promote stuff, only the personal ones. I told her that I don't promote things, but looking back at my recent posts, I've turned into "one of those bloggers" *gasp**sigh*. (not paid to do any of them)

So here's something very personal.

I have a battle with depression.

I'm not writing this to get "are you okay?", "you're so brave", but instead, I want people to know how I got in and out of it.

A lot of factors threw me into the depressed state. Most of them could be settled if I had (a lot more) money, but love and work were the other big contributors.  

How I "detected" it

I went to a doctor because I had these "slight tremors" on my hands, and I had a bad chest pain over a period of a few weeks. It was on the left side so my fear was heart related. (I have a bad relationship with meat and oily food). The doctor couldn't find a problem for the chest pain, so he gave me pain killers, twice.  And for the tremors he gave me a test for hyperthyroid. The results came out normal and I asked what could be another cause, and he said: anxiety. I was crying every day during that period of time, and every little thing made me tear up. The doctor saw that I wasn't "normal" so he wrote a letter of recommendation for me to see a psychiatrist at PPUM. (You'll need one if you're going to a government shrink). I thought of going to a private psychiatrist, but I after knowing the price/hour, I decided that the bill would throw me deeper into depression.

I procrastinated on going to the psychiatrist because I told myself that I don't need one. (And the fact that they're only available during working hours helped fuel my procrastination). In the end, without realizing it, I got out of the depressed state.

I tried calling Befrienders but sadly, the guy who answered my call didn't seem interested to help.

After thinking and looking back, here are a few things that I did to help me crawl out of the pit:

1. Distract yourself

I was stuck with a very negative mindset so I couldn't think straight. Nothing matters anymore and nothing is interesting. If I died, no one would flash across my mind. There was no purpose in life and I was lost.

This part is the hardest to get past, but hang in there. 

Find something to distract yourself so that you don't have time to think. Find someone to hang out with. Volunteer somewhere and help others. Watch The Big Bang Theory or Modern Family from season. Let yourself be a couch potato.

2. Don't dwell at a place where you feel sad the most. 

For me, it was my room. I stayed back at work, hung out with my bitches. Anything to avoid being at home for long periods of time. 

3. Laugh it off. Seriously.

Find something that makes you laugh. Movies, comics, friends, etc. Cocoro introduced this Korean comic to me in an app called Webtoons. 

Specially recommending:  心灵的声音 (highly recommended, it's super funny!)
Recommended: 神之塔，高校之神 (got hooked with the storyline)

4. Break down your problems, solve them one by one. 

Problems look overwhelming when they gang up on you, but every problem could be broken into smaller problems. If you tear them up, you can solve them. Take baby steps.

Some problems can't be solved in a short time, but you need to come to terms with it. Take it slow. It will be better. 

5. Surround yourself with people who genuinely love you

When I went for the worse, only 2 people knew, and I'm glad that I confided in them, because they were the ones who pulled me up from this pit. My sister tried to help but I can't help but push her away. It's not that I don't appreciate her help, it's just that I just can't just welcome everyone in. 

Remember to hang out with people who care. There always will be someone who cares. 

I'm a lot better now. I have no idea if full recovery is possible, because I still slip into it once in awhile, but when I do, I go back to the "tips" and they (still) work.

Good luck!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. If you know someone who's going through this, the worst thing to say is "cheer up". It's like asking someone who's hungry to "feel full". It doesn't work.

If you're going through this and need someone to talk to but are too shy to admit it to your friends or family, send me an email at jellyfishseawater@gmail.com. 

I want that long hair slicked back... ponytail

Chaneling Taylor Swift to talk about hair problems *sigh*

Exhibit A

Miranda Kerr. Hot momma (literally) with beautiful features from (head to toe).

Exhibit B

Cara Delevigne. Hot tomboyish (also) with beautiful features from head to toe.

Exhibit C

Me. With... slightly above average features.. from head to toe.  

Though I've received praises for my super straight hair before.

I guess it's a good feature if you're into that. 

Anyways,

What does exhibit A, B and C have in common?

(not-so slicked back) Ponytails!

What does exhibit A, B and C NOT have in common?

Model career, distinctive facial features, and balding 5head (please refer to exhibit C).

I have a balding 5head. 

It used to be 5head but now the right side is on the incline (pun intended) toward becoming a 6 head.

I don't want to go bald before I turn 30 can?

Also, I would like to one day be able to tie my hair up like that and not have people ask if my work is really stressful. --_______--lll

The corners go up really high instead of a normal curve. T^T

This means I can't have anything more than 7/3 side parting because it'll show that one side of my hair is really thin, and the balding corners will pop. 

I can't have middle parting because my face is not oval enough for it,

and I can't have a square fringe because my scalp is very, very oily. 

I wash my hair every morning and by around 1pm, my fringe starts looking greasy like this. 

Not exaggerating. 

If you know me, you'll know I've basically tried every "safe for work" hairstyle there is because I'm still constantly on the search for a hairstyle that suits me. 

I did some googling and found some info and causes on hair loss or (in a fancy way) alopecia. Going to list out a few until I get lazy. 

1. 91% of our hair is made up of keratin, a type of protein?

A lack of protein will stop hair growth. 

If you suddenly eat a lot less protein (mainly meat, fish, eggs, ), you might face this problem. 

2. Stress is a common cause for hair loss

That's why successful people usually have really little hair wtf. =X I'm on my way towards success lol. Feeling stressed will mess up the life cycle of your hair. That's why the new ones don't or are slow in growing, and the old ones fall off. 

3. Genetics could be a bitch 

What they say IS true. If you want to know how your spouse looks like when they're old, look at their parents, especially when it comes to hair. 

4. Weight could be more than you lose

One of the causes for alopecia a.k.a hair loss is dramatic weight loss. If you're suffering from anorexia or bulimia, chances are, hair loss would jump onto the bandwagon of your problems. Your body (and those around you) would be shocked  with the dramatic change and it would need around 6 months time to adjust to the situation (talk about a slow reaction).

This company Jonsson Protein says that all our hair problems can be solved with protein. The company uses technology from USA and their own formula to solve hair problems, like male and female pattern baldness, dandruff hair loss, spot baldness, post-natal baldness, menopausal hair loss, premature grey hair and chemically damaged hair. 

 (seems like woman have to face more of these hair loss problems T^T)

They boast of "Visible results in 1 session" and I'm soooooooooooo ready to try it. 

Sponsorship can? =X

I'm so broke I can't bother being shameless anymore.

Might just visit them one day coz they their first trial is only RM28. They provide scalp scan so maybe I can finally find out what my goddang hair problem is. (Hopefully not genetics wtf) 

And they have an outlet in Mid Valley and if you don't know yet, I'm working here now. 

Can give me a call if you want to treat me lunch/ dinner. 

*still shameless*

76 way to clean scalp

FYI, I've moved on to a new job... for the past half a year.

Yes, that's how long I haven't been updating my blog with personal things.

Mandatory selfie in a blog post.

Between working over-time, and trying to find time to rest,

I haven't have much chances to pamper myself until I made an appointment to visit 76 Style Saloon.

That was in January. 

Procrasti-yay-tion.

So for this year, I've finally decided to revive my blog, and the first post

is about how I cleared my head.

The saloon that people are currently crazy about. 

I had an appointment with Steve, director for 76 Style Midvalley.

The branch is actually at North Point which is on the building across the street, connected to Midvalley Megamall by a bridge.

I've seen people posting about their hair treatment there and finally decided to give it a try.

I got  

For comparison,

I think it's obvious that the layer of grease/ buildup is gone after the treatment,

and you can see my scalp, refreshed. 

Steve also gave my hair a nice wavy look before I left. 

The thing about hair styling at salons is that you can never get the same look even when you're using the same tools. 

T^T 

I wanted to go over for a colour touch up before CNY but they were fully booked right up to the eve FML 

-last minute problems- 

A new outlet is opening at Publika on April 4, this Sat!!! 

Visit number76.com to book an appointment. 

Follow them on Instagram to see updates on hair designs and promotions too.

Andes YO!

(Wanted to post this quite long ago but... procrastination happened.)

If you haven't heard of this shop that is famous for pork in Aman Suria,
I'm here to show you the world. of pork. =X
Andes YO!
Actually the shop is called Andes BYO

Had to take out the 'B' from the title because I'm not creative enough to encorporate the entire name into something cool. *hides*

BYO means Bring your own (alcohol) =p

My mom came to visit from Penang during the Raya weekend and since we have no idea where or what to eat,

I decided to give the shop a go instead.

Was not disappointed.

I went once before the relaunch, but I really liked what it looks like now.

It used to be a really homey place, but now it's really modern looking.

Sorry for my not so awesome photography skills. 
I just quickly snapped a pic since my mom was there.
Didn't want her to look at me being jakun.

The shop is divided into 2 area by metal shelf for wine glasses.

The outside part is a more open space with a bar;

the inside part has a more romantic ambiance to it.

Since it was a hot day, we decided to sit on the inside part, where the aircond is more... contained. 

The boss said the "wall" will one day be covered with wine bottles.

Go visit them and help them finish this project! X)

My mom ordered the Pork Burger 
And yes, I was too lazy to turn the tray around and take a pic of the burger.

I ordered Undercover Pork.
It's actually 2 really fat sausages wrapped with bacon. Yum!!!
The sausage is really compact so it was a big hard to chew, but it tastes nice!
The mushroom sauce (white stuff in pic above) is definitely something different.
I can't tell what's in the flavour mix, but daYUMMMM. (lol) 

I went there again on Jason's birthday! Happy very belated birthday Jason!

This time, I ordered their 'recommended' Chili Padi Garlic Lamb Chop. 

Salivating just by writing about it.
I love my lamb chops, and this is one of a kind.
It's not exactly spicy, but the mixture of tastes makes it stand out from the usual lamb chops.
TRY THIS!!

Ordered the Porky Fries too!
The first time I went it was on the house, and this time I went, I had to order it again because I LIKES!

The birthday boy.

With Tania/ Cocoro/ 晓婷 and Jason. 

Welp, Jason is more like a sister to me.

We used to stay in the same hostel during uni times and the friendship just bloomed from then,

and stayed on all this while, turning into sisterhood.

Cocoro is a junior from the same hostel and faculty. She speaks italiano. *gestures with hand*
Love this girl so much because we have so much in common!

2 people that I wouldn't mind spending loads of time with
and I love them both to bits. and pieces. and minces. *no cannibal*

Will definitely go back to the shop for more lamb chop. I miss it already. XD

If you're interested to try out the yummy pork burger and chili padi garlic lamb chop from Andes BYO, go to their Facebook page for information about bookings, and updates.

Birthday No Bash

Yay birthday!! 

Older me reporting for duty! Older, but just as vain. 

I don't want people to know my birthday actually. I didn't show it on Facebook. 

I'm terrible at remembering birthdays, so I have this thinking that if people wished me on my birthday, I'd have to wish them back too. I'd rather keep my birthday a secret than trying to remember those of others, or to 'owe' them. =X 

There was a 3 day back-to-back celebration with different people.

Those that love me and I love back. 

The first day was spent with the No.1 on list of "people that I love (excluding family)".

It was just a simple day out at Pavilion and the 'Golden Triangle',

and we didn't take any pics together. 

We're camerashy low profile that way.

Here's a pic of my lunch instead.

Lunch at a Japanese restaurant and dinner at an Italian one, both in 6th floor of Pavilion.

Spent a shitload of money and that's how I'm always poor on birthday months.

Because there's birthday promotions EVERYWHERE!

Second day was celebrated with people that I hate and love at the same time a.k.a family.

Well more like my sisters. Parents were at Butterworth and being the good daughter, of course I didn't go home. 

I'm useless 'independent' that way.

Both my sisters are in Klang Valley now, so yay! Sisters + 1 bro-in-law hangout!

We went to Lala Chong for SEAFOOD!!

And of course, my favourite, CRAB!!

I actually had crab 4 times in 1.5months.

High cholesterol whuut.

The food was just meh, honestly.

There were other food, but since I'm not a fan of taking food pics (that I didn't cook), there's there.

My actual birthday day I celebrated with my babes/bitches.

The people that I can be crazy with. Yes, I can be crazy. Literally and figuratively. =X

Only a handful get to see that side of me (thankfully).

This pic was taken on a different day.

We went to Chili's in the mall next to Digital Mall in section 14, since it was a Monday and I finish work later than everyone else. 

The 2 people that I don't mind spending lots of time with. 

Thanks everyone who wished me!! I will try to remember your birthday and wish you back ok? Okay. 

#iDuncarewhatcureply

#grainypicsftw

There were no big celebrations, but it's the people that count, and these are dearly to me. 

All my loves, with the exception of 1, my extra love.

I love simplicity, and that is how I roll, even for my big 26th.

That's what J_Fish has to say! Au Revoir!

"Occupational Hazard"

Every job comes with its own occupational hazard. Although some might be more of a 'hazard' than an actual hazard, e.g. having 'no life' if you work in an office because you're mostly stuck in a confined space like your cubicle or your car while commuting, having back problems due to long hours of sitting, etc.

If you work in the entertainment industry, the occupational hazard would be less privacy and more "haters". Haters here are in quotes because... well not everyone who give a negative comment is a hater, some are merely stating facts, and it's part of your job as a "celebrity" to accept that part. You can't have all the glamour and no downside.

I'm talking about this because there have been a rage of videos about many "celebrities" (because they are mostly self-proclaimed) who are criticized, and the people who are defending them give the "well, can you do better?" defence.

As long as you live, you'll need to learn to accept criticism. If you choose to become a celebrity, get ready to face an ocean of it. Ocean is the correct description, because like waves, criticism come and go, but some hit harder than others.

For those who choose to be a celebrity or artist, living under the public eye is part of your occupational hazard. If you don't like it, you could always opt out. You can't just have the glitz and glamour of being a celebrity, understand that there is always a dark side.

Another thing about "celebrities", I'm not saying it's right for people to stalk, I'm just saying it happens, and you can't file a police report for every "bully" on the internet. Grow up and accept that it's part of your life should you choose to be a queen of camwhore. If you want to avoid copy cats, post things that are unique to you, and people would need to go to great lengths to imitate it. Internet stalkers do no harm whatsoever to the person they stalk. If the stalking happens in the real world, take actions, don't go crying when a person virtually stalk you. You gave them easy access to your life in the first place, yes? Too many people tag every location to visit, and it's easy to see a pattern. If you need so much attention, why cry foul when people give you attention? Because "it's the wrong type of attention"? Well beggars can't be choosers, and you are a beggar of attention, so take what you have, or stop begging.

That's what J_Fish has to say! Au revoir!

Eyebrows, Eyeliner, Mascara

Mascara and eyeliner are probably the duo that I have to use everyday. Since I'm trying to grow my fringe out, eyebrow powder has been added to the routine. All these 3 are important to draw attention to the eyes. 

The eyeliner is to accentuate the shape of the eyes, changing the shape as I please, be it the puppy eye look or cat eyes, which will create different effects to the overall look. I usually use black for eyeliner because I prefer a harsh, strong look. 

Currently in love with the Waterproof Eyeliner Pen from IN2IT. The tip is like those on highlighters so it's really easy to control. It's around RM15 in Watson's. Try it! 

A step to step make up tutorial I posted on my instagram some time ago. 

You can see the obvious difference with and without mascara. 

The mascara actually seals the deal for my eye make up. It opens up my eyes more, and prevents the lower liner (if any) from smudging. 

One of my pet peeves is not applying mascara to lower lashes. A lot of people fail to understand how much mascara on lower lashes helps frame the eyes better and make them look wider. Granted some people barely have lower lashes, but for those who have normal lower lashes, try applying mascara to your lower lashes. If you're afraid that it might mess up under the eyes, put a name card below your eyes when applying, and try not to blink until it's dry. It usually doesn't take long to dry unless your mascara is quite new. 

(Tip: Wipe off some of the mascara from the wand with a tissue to avoid clumping and easier application, it might sound like a waste, but it helps get the job done better)

My current favourite mascara would be the Maybelline Lashionista and Rocket Volume Express. 

Love the Lashinista because it's great at creating separated but long lashes. It's not as dramatic as they claim it to be, but it does the trick. 

The Rocket Volume Express is easily removed with warm water and non-oil based removers. It doesn't smudge either. 

For eyebrows, I use the CLIO 2 in 1. The top is eyebrow powder and bottom is gel liner. Don't like the gel liner because it dried up on day 3 and is really hard to apply. 

The eyebrow power is not bad, but doesn't last long because my brows area is really oily and I keep unintentionally wiping it off, especially in the afternoon and I'm outside. 

It comes with a 2 way brush. The other side is for gel liner. Love the brush for the brow powder (in pic above) coz it's angled and flat. Great for shaping. 

The cover for brow powder has a tiny mirror attached. It's about RM 65 in Watsons. 

Eyebrow powder. Front part accidentally wiped off. XD With the IN2IT eyeliner and Rocket Volume Express mascara to finish the look. 

So that answers a few questions. Ask if you have questions.

Buried- Afterthoughts

*People with claustrophobia should avoid watching this.

Buried (a.k.a Ryan Reynolds in a coffin the full length of the movie) is way better than I imagined. Heard my sister and BIL (Brother-in-law) talk about it last weekend and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed, albeit feeling really traumatized in the end. I had to watch stand up comedy to counter that feeling.

The entire movie is literally Ryan Reynolds in a coffin. Starring about 6 other voices, a phone, a torchlight, a lighter, some lighter fuel, a glowstick and a snake that looks like a black mamba. (If you watched Kill Bill before, you'll know how deadly that is.)

Paul (Ryan Reynold, duh) wakes up in a coffin with no memory of how he got there. He has a phone with him with the language in Arabic. He tries to get help from as many agencies and departments as he can and faces a great deal of questioning and the frustration which comes with it.

Since Ryan Reynolds is the only focus in the movie, his acting is the only tool to convince the audience that this is a good movie. He nailed it. Even while watching it on my comfortable bed with 4 pillows, the movie made me sit up, because of the intensity and emotions. He was able to draw me in and join him in the struggle to escape from the coffin. I could definitely imagine the resentment of being helpless if I were to be stuck somewhere so tight. Hopefully it never happens.

If you're looking for a movie to watch this weekend. Check this out.

A Quick But Sweet Getaway

Another trip to Pangkor, and I'm still in love. This is my third trip in 4 years. 

Our high school gang decided to take a trip together,

but ended up all the guys bailed, and it became a girl bonding time lol.

It took us around 4 hour to get from KL to the Waterfront Jetty, Lumut.

My friends went over from Butterworth so our meet up point was the jetty.

There's a multi-level parking building which charges RM0.60 per hour.

Ticket for the ferry to go over is RM10, 2 ways. 

Remember to keep the ticket because you'll need it coming back.

The ferry trip takes around 45 mins,

and before we reach Pangkor, there'll be one stop, don't get down!

Get off at the second stop with Jetty Pangkor written on the sign.

The taxis are pink vans which you can find right outside the jetty.

Car and bike rentals are both available too.

We took the taxi to Pankor Puteri Resort, which is actually just a simple apartment block.

It's clean and affordable.

We rented a 3 room apartment for 8 pax max,

and we got a double storey place.

Definitely worth the price!!

We rented bicycles for RM10 for 24 hours.

The ride was tiring because... hills. lol

It was fun though.

We got to see lots of magnificent sceneries, but since the youngest among us is turning 26 in 7 days,

we gave up after around 1.5 hours hahahaha.

So much for 24 hour bike rental.

Ended up almost dying when we finally reached the starting point.

That was when we chatted with the owner of the restaurant where we had lunch.

He told us where to find nice and affordable breakfast, and ikan bilis.

Even though us how to choose them and explained which are the good species. 

Since our initial plan was to ride the bike until sunset, we had nothing to do,

and Uncle Lim said his brother has a boat and brings people on snorkeling trips.

None of us were prepared to dive, so we said we'll just go "island hopping".

Spontaneous. 

Since it wasn't too expensive, we just went with it.

First (literal) stop was at Pangkor Laut.

The private island.

These chalets in the picture below costs around 2k per night.

The middle-class gang could only think what OTHER things we can spend that money on lol.

Shows the difference in standard eh?

He brought us to see some rocks that need but a little imagination to become interesting.

There were 4 turtles, a crocodile, a whale, a real mad man's residence (seen a distance away of course).

He said the man's wife left him and he became crazy and just lived on that small stretch of beach, living off scraps from the resorts nearby. =(

Kind of a sad story until uncle said the man told him not to trust women, especially pretty ones, and only pick the ones with big mouths and big ass. LOLWTF? hahahahaha

Can you see the stone "whale" above?

 He brought his son along, and they were trying to fish for squids.

Too bad the tides were too high. They didn't get any.

He said we could eat them raw. 

We didn't believe him. =X

After the boat trip we enjoyed it so much we decided to give a tip.

Trust me, that doesn't happen often. =X

Right after we got off the boat, we went for dinner.

All sticky with tangled hair and sandy feet.

 The Lim Brothers. 

The older uncle Lim is the restaurant owner which is at the corner of Pangkor Puteri.

We had lunch and dinner at his place and it was AFFORDABLE. And yummy.

For lunch we chose individual meals. 

I had Butter-Fried Mantis Shrimp Rice for RM5.

The other dishes are around that price.

For dinner we ordered 3 crabs, Butter-fried squid, Kangkung Belacan, Stir-fry lala, and tofu. Everyone was full, and it costs us less than RM20 each.

Can you imagine all that seafood for less than RM20?

The younger Uncle Lim is owner of Pangkor Holiday House.

He's the man who brought us around for our unexpected sea adventure and told us a lot of stories.

And jokes. Lots of them.

He explained a lot of fish related things to us. 

Definitely learned a lot from these 2 uncles!!!

Old uncle Lim is really good at photography and he showed us the pictures he took.

I guess with a view so good, you'll get more motivation to practice!

Young uncle Lim is a fishing enthusiast, but he insists that it's not to harm the fishes for fun.

He showed us loads of pictures of the fishes he caught, the activities he provides for his homestay, and the groups that he brought out to sea. 

It's all in his personal profile lol.

The view from the first floor of our unit this morning. 

 Such a nice trip!

First, I hadn't been on a trip with my highschool gang since after form 5.

Second, we leart a lot from these 2 uncles. It was entertaining and educational.

If you're going over, visit them and maybe you'll learn something from them too!

=)

I don't remember the name of big uncle Lim's restaurant, but it's at the end of the road of Pasir Bogak.

And here ends part 1. If you have questions about prices, leave a comment.

Part 2 is about our half day Ipoh trip (if I'm harworking).

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
