Suddenly China
Finally luggage packed. Hair - washed and curled. Make up case - checked. Toiletries bag - checked. Charger - checked. Ok! Im good to go.
This isn't in my plan this year at all. I was planning to visit East Asia in year 2013 - After I finish with Southeast Asia mapping. (after that West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia then finally North Asia). But hey, I already started Japan, it seems like East Asia mapping already kicking in for me.
But this is a work call. Office wanted me to check out Guilin for real, for a week. So, I have to come back with good pictures and stories, make people wanna go there.
I still have 8 hours left. But have to wake up at like 5am, because the group assemble at the airport at 6.30am. Urrgghh.. group trip.
Look at Chinese Renmibi. So red and it reminds me of Hong Bao already. Actually I got my ATM card activated at the ATM machine for overseas withdrawal. Don't you know that you can use your local ATM card and withdraw money all over the world? All you need is to activate it at ATM machine under "Other Transaction", press, press, press until you find menu with "PLUS/ Overseas Withdrawal activation". You can choose whether to activate it as temporary or permanent. It will ask you to key in your new I/C number - and it's done. Just find ATM with PLUS or MEPS sign at ATM abroad, you may withdraw your money until you go bankrupt.
But my workmate advice me not to rely on China ATM. Since it's a group trip, I might not have enough time to find ATM around. But for other countries, you can use this method. No fee charge for the withdrawal by your bank, but minimum charges by the ATM machine, Just like here, you hold Maybank's ATM but you go withdraw at HSBC's ATM with "meps" sign (nooo not HSBC!) That bank charged me RM4 per withdrawal!
And oh, it is not advisable for you to bring extra cash in MYR. I just came to know only certain countries accept/ recognize our Malaysian Ringgit. It happened to me in Japan. I thought I have no problem to change my Malaysian Ringgit at Japan's Money Changer - it turned out I spent like 4 hours just to find a big money changer that accept Ringgit. Their bank don't recognize ringgits, also the small - medium size money changer.
Well, who knows? Yes, our ringgit have few times face lift with brilliant colors, yet Japan don't recognize and unwilling to take it in exchange to Yen. Even Indonesian Rupiah is well recognized in Japan! They exported us from snacks to heavy machines, yet they don't accept Malaysian Ringgit..WOW. Just , wow. That time, I wished I activated my ATM card earlier.
That's all for the travel tip, for now. Will update on anything I might find it awesome in Guilin.
Till then ~ Toodle loo.

Get to know the TYPE of your online girl
Some men are so stupid, they take social networking site like facebook as a place for them to find a girlfriend. or worse - wifey. They treated it like an online girlfriend/wife's catalog. They look at your profile picture, send friend request and when you didn't reply his message on your inbox / refused to chat with them / tell them you are not interested, they straight remove you from the buddy list. It happened to my workmate. This guy asking her "why did you accept my friend request if you not going to be my girlfriend" and he blocked her immediately after that. LOL?
and paragraph below is for decent guys-
You are not an exceptional. Some of you are ridiculously stupid. Not that I blatantly accuse you just because I can't agree with you in many areas. You came to me with confessions - willingly and sometimes, without you knowing it. You think you know girls very well - listing down what girls like and know exactly where to find her G spot. But seriously, at the same time you don't have a clue. That's why you think screaming girls in porn movie is the real sound of satisfaction. Your girl screaming when you do her and again, you beat your chest triumphantly like a King Kong and think you are the man. That's a FAKE ORGASMS, you moron!
Based on above paragraphs, I think I should spill some information for you what type of girls that are available for you - online. (If you still insist to find a girl - online) before you go to the next stage talking about finding her G spot or wife her.
So, I recon that you guys will check her "about me" section and find her relationship status. So you see 'SINGLE' and the next 5 second you sending her message like "Hi". (urgghh). But wait. With my diagram, now you know when or to which type of SINGLE girls you should consider to send your "Hi".
Elaboration below;
TYPE A: She put 'SINGLE'. But she not really SINGLE.
There are many of Type A out there. The reason why girls acting like this could be many. It's just for fun and she wanna have fun by toying around. She know the power of 'SINGLE' can attract mingles. This type of SINGLE will makes you go "girls can't be trusted, slick prick. I will never trust any girl again" - bah.
Some girls or people believed that when you put status other than single, they will feel less attractive. Or thinks the attention they get might be lesser since they are no longer 'available'. This type of girl we can label as ATTENTION WHORE OR ATTENTION SLUT. They think they can be the next Tila Tequila or something like that. Like their talent will get discovered by talent scout and lead them to become an actress or model (WTF?) This type of girl, they feed on compliments like "oh.. you are such a cutie.. " "you are not fat.. just stay as sexy as you are" and all kinds of comforting words came out from a STRANGER, any strangers will do. She built her self esteem through compliments by being fake. Faking her status. Attention whore don't mind displaying her private mobile phone number, everywhere.
Or
She's an opportunist. She still looking for the best and just lay her "SINGLE" status trap. And once she identify you are better than her current but hidden boyfriend, you are her next thing. Hooo.. don't think too fast that "BEST MAN WIN". YOU are better than her current boyfriend can be - you are more "generous" than her current boyfriend in term of spending money on her hobbies & interest (which is shopping, fashion, shoes, eating out and bling bling")
TYPE B: She put SINGLE. and yes, she is SINGLE.
You only get to know the true single and available by time. You need to spend days and months to identify that she is really single and available. Look at her posts. Look at her pictures/albums posted. Look at it how her friends responded towards her comments and jokes. You can join in the commenting and the joking, but not too obvious. Not just a "Hi", "how are you doing" "can I have your number". So, Good luck!
TYPE C: She put SINGLE and yet - she's not available
She has too many failure in her previous relationship so she's taking a long break. Her line would be "I had enough with men." "I'm tired with guys" or she just don't reply your message at all. The trust is not there and she just not ready for another relationship.
When she talks to you, and by talking, I mean she is constantly dissing men. Men this, men that, all men are bastard and laughing at your advances, well.. Oppsie, you are too late. She's already turned into a MAN HATER. Well, Good luck to you if you still want to try!
TYPE D: She put SINGLE just to pretend to be single.
Confused yet? Ha, well, told you. You never know girls, ever . So thanks to me.
She put single because she just finished a big argument with her boyfriend. Big fights, BF didn't try good enough to console her, or worse, her BF just ignore her non senses. She got so angry and so she change her relationship status into 'single' just to retaliate by putting huge guilt on her BF, or embarrassed her BF. Or worse, to get her BF's attention Seriously, One time I had a guyfriend called me panicking - asking me what will happen if someone took a handful of paracetamol? I told him - nothing. That person might not be able to get headache for 1 month. He mad at me for not taking his worry seriously. I replied him "I know it's your girlfriend. Tell her to text me. I teach her suicide 101. Paracetamol is not one of it.".
That's how girls do just to get attention.
or - she can be an Attention Whore as well. Please refer to Type A description.
Next - I recon there are many cases that you guys are so desperate and starting to mess around with girls who already in a relationship. I don't know whether you want to try to check the "best man win" mojo in you or maybe you are just the type of man who always thinks The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side and sugar is always sweeter when it is not yours.
Well, don't waste your time on some random girls who is already taken without identify it according to my chart first. Thanks to me later.
TYPE E: Put Status "In a relationship" and yes she is.
You can see how in love she is. She might meet her BF everyday and yet she wrote "I miss you so much" on her BF's wall the next 10 second after her BF sent her home. And her BF do the same thing and put her picture as his profile picture. Handsoff!
TYPE F: Put status "In a relationship" but she is not.
She wants to be in a relationship so bad until she can't wait to have a real one. And believe me, some girls find it is such an embarrassment to hold a single status. They feel left out, unwanted and desperate. But she can be TYPE C too. By having "In a relationship" status, the chances of you guys bugging her will be minimized. She wanted to be single without having to said it out loud.
TYPE G: Put Status "In a relationship" with another girl.
Hah! I know. You've seen this a lot. Well, She can be a real lesbian. So your chance is off. If you able to check her albums - and it contains pretty, sexy girls, a lot. Well, she is. Honestly, lesbian have better taste than normal straight guy do. Being around lesbian ladies is like swimming in a sea of expensive Kanebo's Sensai ultimate body cream - full of goodness and smell so good and yet you can't drink them. Yea. It's like that. And boy, you just turn them into a Hard Core Man Hater if you keep talking dirty to them.
Or, maybe she's just an Attention Whore. Because she knew how hot is lesbian girls to a straight man who dream of a threesome. She might be a Bi sex. If she's your kind, you can try by approaching her - nicely. Not nasty.
TYPE H: Put status "In a relationship" with her 2nd account (Herself)
She can be either : So full of herself. 1 account is not enough to contain her 10000 fans so she open another one or three. And its all linking and in relationship with her own self. Good luck to you if you wish becoming one of her then fan (to her man).
or she is single. By SINGLE means... you have to refer to every type of Single that I listed out earlier (Type A - D)
MARRIED.
I know some of you have some kind of fetish towards other people's wife. Weird. But true. I'm not a doctor or psychiatrist that can label people like you under mental disorder. But you sound sick to me. But hey, I must accept the fact that some people really don't mind sharing, or using other people's toothbrush. Or drinking other people's puke.
So, if you are sick enough, go on. But don't simply barge into other people's marriage just like that without identify which wife is for you.
TYPE I: Status "Married" and yes, she is happily married.
Handsoff! Yes she is cute and she has all the quality of what you've dreamed of. But look at her little kids's pictures she posted up.. the husband that cooking for her.. pictures of their family vacation. Yes she has it all you wish a girl should be. She is too nice and that is why she is taken! And who are you, a mental disorder guy who like to brush your teeth using other people's tooth brush. Bring your filthy mouth somewhere else.
TYPE J: Status "Married" but she is not married.
Well, she's in love, slept together for 100th times so she considers herself married to him. She is so firmed that now or later, he's the one that she's going to end up with. Sorry. You have no chance on her.
or, she can be TYPE C. haha.
TYPE K: Status "Married" but she's a swinger.
Meaning, she is up to your game. She is married and yet she respond to all of your non senses, giggly. Everybody is her darlings including you. Her status is to tell you that she is not hiding. The only question left is - Do you mind if she's already married?
You can girlfriend her, wife her and yet she is someone else's wife. She's a heaven for a sinner like you. She got what you want and you give what she wants. And yet, someone else back at her home feeding and clothing her - or, fathering your child.
TYPE L: Status "Married" but she's not happy.
You will get to know this Type L after you spend sometime with her, chatting. She need a cushion to fall into, in case she falls hard. She tells you all about her husband's shit. She's not hiding it so that her prospect future BF (you) know, what are you dealing with. Excess baggage or instant maggie mee child - whatever you would like to refer it as. But hey, it's love at the first (internet) connection and it's your heart call.
In other words, she's looking for a better option before she deciding to ditch the bad option she made :)
BUT WHAT IF SHE DIDN'T INDICATE HER STATUS???
Oh, I have a few answers for you, in summary. Blank status people are mystery and interesting. They are like a lottery ticket. Keep you betting on it and yet you don't know where you are going to win it or lose it. If you able to get one as your girlfriend - lucky you. If you are not - Try again. Heh. People with a blank status is a gambler too. They work their own fate and destiny on their current "mystery" status regardless on what other people think / belief. They truly know that in relationship - is to find / to be someone who can change her life, not just her status on Social Networking Site.
Some men are so stupid, they look at your profile picture, send friend request and next 5 second they went ~
Okay, Im not that hot. That's must be some Nigerian guy who residing in Malaysia and he want to scam my 5 millions (WTF? Do I look like having 5 million in my bank account?). I get this eerie feelings when black guys happen to say "Hi" to me. Call me racist. I have the right to block anyone who is giving me the eerie feeling. Ima faint hearted, okay?
Im tired. I got some serious luggage packing to do. Fly off soon.
xxoo.

Love note #1
“Anyway. I thought of something today. There is a song that I've heard for a long time now. Well, it made me think that I didn't ever care about much of anything. One lyric says he wouldn't care if the earth stopped turning. That's what made me think. I always felt like that. Like nothing mattered and I didn't care what happened. Dead or alive. Well, except now it's different for me. I want to see you too much again that I don't feel that way anymore. For the first time I do care what happens because I want to be with you again.”

Japan, Osaka: Baby, It's cold outside Pt. 3
Finally, Im writing the end of 1st part of Japan Trip. 2 parts left, 6 posts to go! Urgghhh.. Malasnya. Anyways, you can look up to Kosmo News Paper, next week Thursday for the whole story. I will be featured in their 'Destinasi' center spread. Ehem.
Where were we? Ah, finished our lunch at Takimi Lane of Restaurants around 1. It was rainy and cold :( but we still stick to our original plan - to visit Osaka Castle..
Back to hotel after sad dinner (some salad and mashed potatoes in Japanese mayonnaise, as well as cuppa warm tea (No picture, nothing fancy about it)
10. Snoopy Studios (meh)
11. Hollywood Dream
Anyways, I must be too old already. I don't find it very exciting while spending tonnes of hours in this theme park. Maybe it is more fun if I visit here when I was 7 or 11.
I mean, how a sesame street 4D can enthrall an adult like me when I know I need work my ass off to pay my credit cards once I got back la?
I end this post with few random pictures taken at Universal Studios Japan.
Or maybe it's time for me to take a serious ride next time I visit a theme park.

Where were we? Ah, finished our lunch at Takimi Lane of Restaurants around 1. It was rainy and cold :( but we still stick to our original plan - to visit Osaka Castle..
So, Bye bye Umeda Sky Building.
We walked back to Westin Hotel to catch our FREE shuttle bus back to Umeda Station. And I found A store brand called Jesus Diamente. I don't know why they named it like that. I thought they are selling dresses and accessories for you to go to church or something. Ha. But then I came to know that Jesus Diamente is a Himegyaru brand that is THE princess brand. You can be all princessy you want regardless what is your age with this brand.
In Japan, It's all about fashion and who you wanna be. There is no restriction and area code when you want to put on a dress, it is just you and "I feel pretty" moment. Their men don't criticise how their ladies wear stuff in Japan. They seems understand the need to look pretty in every girls. They don't give away cynical look to over dressed (I don't think there is no such term of 'over dressed' in Japan), and I think their girls never understand what is "pervert, lusty stare" like we girls encounter here in Malaysia.
While we are busy adorn the wedding cakes with roses and petals, they wearing it on their feet. Cantik kalau buat hantaran kasut nie :D
Ah, for those who looking for exquisite yet rare Barang Hantaran, you should do the shopping in Japan. They have everything that makes the dulang looks good without you need to decorate it.
Ok, back to Osaka Castle. Heee.. I made a quick stop at Westin Hotel's concierge and asked their friendly staff the direction to go to Osaka Castle and where is Willer Express Bus Station (because we are taking a journey to Tokyo by bus on the next day) He didn't disappoint me at all.
So, we went back to Osaka Subway Station. It was 1 hour past afternoon.
It was a very busy hour! One thing I noticed about people in Japan. No matter how crowded the place is, I found no body odor! yays!
Taking a coffee break before we continue our sightseeing.
FYI, shopping malls, shops and everything is available at Osaka's train station. Be it sub way or top ground way (?) they have it all. It's like, you don't need to book a full day shopping tour package like Malaysian normally did in Bandung and Ho Chi Minh. In Osaka, you live your day with shopping malls 365days a year.
and oh, in Osaka, I learned that we only can choose 02 sauces and 03 veggies for your footlong Subway's sammich! :( Stingy!
If Im not mistaken (see? I forgot everything already) we made a stop at Kyobashi station and walk our ass up to the Castle.
If you starting to get lost, look down on a pathway and you will get a clue sign that you are closer your destination.
When I 1st arrive, I thought I was at Osaka Castle already. But I don't know it was just an outer part of the castle. Urgghh. The castle was surrounded by secondary citadels, gates, turrets, impressive stone walls and moats. The stone walls is so impressive it made me think it is a castle. Bleah.
My dslr starting to have a flu due to cold, wet weather. It started to give a bloom effect in every shot.
But, sorry maam, you need to walk up for another 1 kilometer just to pass the main gate.
After limping away for 10 minutes in a cold, rainy weather, I finally made my way to the main gate. Fuck that ALDO boots. It hurts like a bitch.
So I let Mike walked ahead of me, since it was almost 5.00pm. And the castle close at 5.00pm. I told him I couldn't make it, and I know he wanted to see the Castle upclose since he's already here, in Osaka. So, while he was running to the Castle main tower.. I slowly walk alone and took few pictures.
..and after another 30 excruciating painful minutes, I finally saw the roof of Osaka Castle's main tower.
and I thought I missed it all, like my friends and Mike already inside the tower enjoying cup of warm tea or something. :(
But it turned out they just standing at the base of the main tower and Mike, like a grumpy grampa saying something like~"I'm not going to pay just to see fluorescent lamp inside that castle. They probably change many stuff inside there. No way" LOL That's grumpy.
So, realized that I didn't miss out anything, so I took a time to take a picture at the entrance gate (which no fee requires). LOL. So Im done.

The castle is beautiful. I can imagine if I pay a visit during Sakura's blossom. It will be Heaven like. Even without Sakura and much leaves, I can write a poem about this Castle while taking its pictures.. too bad my ankle hurts too much so my emotional creativity end there.
Last but not least, with me in it :)
