Nothing to post from me today so i decided to paste this email from Suresh. It's actually an advice from Suresh (Tae) to one of my colleague who taking a trip to Jogyakarta on this April.

No edit. Original and copied from the original source! (",)

So here how it started:

Dear suresh,

Still remember our trip to jogja last year?

Here I introduce to you Ms.Lim, our design team draft designer,

She will be going to jogja this end of april with few others.

Refer the mail below and Need your advice man..

Dear MsLim,

As what I know, last time we stayed there for 5 days and we don’t even spend more that Rm350 include the food, transport and accommodations! ;)

Everything is soo cheap but need to take note that last time my trip is a backpackers trip! So we moving in a budget.. hehe ;)

From my experience your budget should be enough for this trip but better bring more then less because you don’t want to stuck and spend a night in a guest house which share a bathroom like what happen to my trip before! In travel - The weird experience is the best experience! ;)

Need to keep in mind that – the food there is unexpected too.. The best food that we took when we were there is KFC! hehe

Rgds,

Susamrd

Hi Ms Lim,

Nice to meet you too… even though in email only.

Yeap!!!  What Sam have told you on previous email is absolutely right, we only spend less then Rm400 for all 4 night and 5 days. I believe it only can be fulfill if you go travel like backpackers ways which is budget comes first and comfortable last priority.

Talk about the best place that you should visit and you can’t miss while you in YogJa are,

Here I attach the picture to make you more excited hehehe.

Firstly Prambanan Temple:

All over this place was perfect for me, the scenery is very nice, at the time that we reached there, after we had our lunch at the shop call “ Makanan Padang”  similar to our local food  but the taste totally different ( you can ask  Sam how is the taste), hehehe and that moment we always think about KFC hehehehe.

At the time we was there and it’s very hot and sunny day, but suddenly heavy rain from the dark sky  but we are lucky enough it’s over after 30 minute hehe so we can continue enjoy taking picture again.

Normally local people will recommended you to visit Prambanan on second half of the day so then you can spend time during Sunset. I bet you, you won’t regret waiting for the very beautiful sunset at Prambanan Temple.

Next is Borobudur

At the Borobudur we stay at in the guest house just beside of the main entrance to Candi. If I’m not mistaken the Guest House name “Lotus Guest house”

It cost us RM40 per night for double bed room. The first picture was taken on the roof top our at guest house we stay at borobudr. From the guest house that we stayed we can see the top of the Candi.

Our activity at Borobudur is travelling around the village by “Motor Mabur”  which mean Flying Motor hehehe. This motor belongs to the local trishaw rider name Jamal. He brought us travel around on his vespa to see the Borobudur in different angle and the villagers’ activity. We have so much fun time on our first day.  We pay jamal 30000 rupiah = Rm 10 for the trip.

Borobudur is the place at jogja….. enjoy all the picture I share..

Regards,

Suresh

PHUKET'S 2010' Day 6

Phuket day's 6 is actually almost the last day, because the 7th day we need to wake up early for 8.30am flight back to KL.
So i don't have any pictures on the 6th day, because too tired to bring along the D90 on my shoulder decide to join the 'canon ixus' club with Tae! Means most of the picture with him, hopefully he post some of the photo inside me blog! ;). Btw, here i attached some of the moment at Phuket international airport. Having breakfast there.

Ha, one of the best thing happen kat hari ke 6 is that we all when for movie. We watched The latest movie that time called 'Bang Racan 2'. It's a story about a small group of people in Thailand fight for their land from Myanmar peoples bla.. bla.. bla.. 

So that's it, the full story of my trip to Phuket. Then end of this year under planning, probably trip to Bali? ;) who know right. But apa pon thanks too all, especially Tae, Kai, Thep and Wood for this lovely trips. We'll make it happen again next time! 

Chow!

125B/pax is the total money we need to pay for this island trip (speed boat - i still remember the boat have 3 engines and it’s swift). The tour travel over all the best island spot in Andaman Sea such the Koh Maya, Koh Ling, and Koh Khai and Koh Phi Phi. The program starts at 8.30pm (local time), so we manage to take breakfast (the same store we took breakfast on the day before). The van comes straight to the hotel front door taking us to the jetty.

Means I have to keep my eyes open as small as possible - the sun is very very bright that day!

The tour guide who will supervised all the crew on the boat called 'Tanya', she will monitor and do the explained to all of us, I think is around 30 peoples. (Most of the tourist who on the boat is West Asians+ 5 of us from Malaysia!).

Teluk Kumbar

This picture taken during my visit to Teluk kumbar penang. White sand beach + clear sea water. It's is the best place to having a picnic with your friends and family. As i went there, i can see alot of people fishing along the Teluk Kumbar beach (altough non of them catch any - i got ask few of them! 5/5 haha...).

From the picture snaped, 2 guys doing a kayaking trough the sea. At Teluk Kumbar, we can rent the kayak while on the beach we can enjoy the sunny bright white sand.

Location of Teluk Kumbar in penang island:
How to go:
By car - Drive along the way from Bayan Lepas to Balik Pulau, at the middle of the way you'll find a signboard to Teluk Kumbar. (if you lost in the middle, try to ask the local people - they will be happy to help!)
By boat - I'm not really sure where these speed boat come from (penang area), but i guess they can bring you all the way to Batu Feringgi. So it's means that you no need to drive all the way to Teluk kumbar, just park your car around Batu Feringgi and try to search for the boat. ;)
