Cari Bilik

Since I am going back to Malaysia in April with Magnar I have been crazily looking for accommodations for us to stay in. And I now realize something, hotels in Malaysia is starting to costing a bomb!

Hotels in Penang cost roughly about RM 400 (a night) and above so I had to start looking for other options if I wanted to save money but yet be able to stay somewhere comfortable and lies in a good location. 

I thought for a bit and started to wonder what are my options when it comes to finding cheaper accommodations at the great location and the first hit of Google was CariBilik.

CariBilik is a portal where people can publish houses/apartments for rent both long term and short term.

I surfed around the page and I found that www.caribilik.com had quite a few good choices. They had hundreds and hundreds of different locations and with different price range!

And the best part is, you can actually view pictures of the location before deciding too!

For example this one at Miami Green located at Batu Ferringi Beach which you can rent for a day, a week or a whole month going for a fraction of the price would pay at the hotel across the street!

In addition, the website has loads of rental houses/apartments/hotel/etc all over Malaysia, which definitely helps when you are going to travel about. I know for a fact they have loads of different places to rent especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johore (tourist areas)

For example, this one. It is located at the Golden Triangle region which hotels prices running sky high, CariBilik has a room for only RM135! That is definitely a good deal!

So really, CariBilik not only benefits someone looking for a long term rental, but also really appeals to tourist looking for a quick getaway.

347. This is just effing bizarre!

I got this off Rohini's Facebook, but its just too good I just had to share.

It just made my day. I haven't laughed so hard, and got so confused all at the same time in a really long time.

Just watch. BIZARRE.

And looks like they have a whole series of it! Fuck. I am so going to get hooked.

Seriously. What. The. Fuck.

305. 20 minutes.

What can one do when they have to wait a whole 20 minutes for the hair to set?

If you were me, this is what I do. 

All that, and making the blog post only took a total of 5 minutes. Meh.

Bored already.

And don't you dare say that rollers are for old people, they work aweeeeesome!

So, what else can I do for the next 15 minutes?

Oh, and have you checked this site out?

Hilarious!

278. My weekend

So, my weekend thus far.

Would it be surprising if I said I spent most part of yesterday with Magnar?

Well, we first watched Toy Story. Which if you haven't already watch that awesome Pixar classic, you certainly should! I have always loved it!

Now, if you haven't already know, I love to watch Britain's Got Talent. Love.
So, have you catch this weeks performers?

These are my 2 favorites for this week's audition definitely. :)
Or at least those available on Youtube.

The Arrangement, Britain Got Talents
Audition Week 2

Spelbound, Britain's Got Talent
Audition Week 2

Ahhh, how can you not love the Brits?

One more! Eventhough I usually don't fancy singers on talent shows... This guy is quite awesome!
Even I went Oh Wow.

Christopher Stone, Britain's Got Talen
Audition Week 2

And then there is just the slightly weird.

Ahh, Britain. You never fail to amaze me.

Yes, I realized I just embedded more than I should! But can't you see how this crap television is so exciting! 

268. Updates

The smell of home! Chrysanthemum tea! 

Been getting loads of parcels from home lately!

So, Its the weekend again! Can't say I have got a lot of plans but today is Rona's birthday! 

Birthday cakes! Mmm!

I miss the Malaysian sponge cake with cream and tacky jelly decorations! But I am sure Kate has whipped up some crazy delish cake today too!

Can't wait :)

Rose infused tea 

Jasmine tea

Oh, and I have made almost 100 NOK on my Google Adsense!

Feel free to help me make more by clicking the ads! Haha!

If you ask me about Blog Advertising, I would say, Google Adsense is your best shot.

At least on mine, it has been on a very steady increase monthly over the past year. So yay?

And, though they don't come often to "not famous bloggers", The best part of blog advertising is when you do land yourself advertising posts. You usually can expect to make 50-100 NOK per post. :)

I think blog advertising is really easy way to make extra pocket money.

Why am I ranting?

Right, I got to go.

Catch you guys laters, lovelies!

206. Saree or is it Sari?

Since the pictures aren't too impressive, I am going to make Magnar take more next time!

Oh and when I get it on right that is! 

Anyways, Jens (Magnar's dad) got home from India and brought home some awesome looking saris!

They were all really really really really really beautiful. I didn't realize how the colours on Indian silks are so darn gorgeous.

And then the daunting task of putting them on was even better. We were basically a bunch of people trying to put on a saree from the help of Youtube videos!

And mind you, we didn't actually have all the necessary bits and pieces but we made do!

My very very very failed first attempt. Haha!

Look at that face. 

It was really fun putting them on and frolicking around the house with it! 

And I had someone else playing dress up with me too! Only she knew what she was doing!

Please remind me to write Jens a Thank You note in Indian! 

Till then, Naamaste Jens! 

Ps. Btw in case you were wondering which one I choose the Orangey Purpley one! :)

179. Music Plug

Probably one of the mushy-est song for today. 

Reasons why I love the iPod, because it plays songs you forgot!

"I see lovers in the streets walking,

without a care.

They're wearing out loud
like there's something in the air

Oooooh, and i don't care

They're treading lightly

No they, don't sink in

There's no tracks to follow

they don't care where they going

hmm

And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're

really really lucky they'll

get to feel..

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

makes your blood flow.

It's better that you know,

That love is hard.

Love takes hostages,

gives them pain.

gives someone the power to

hurt you again and again

oooh, but they don't care

And if they're lucky and they'll,

they'll get to see and if they're

really really lucky they'll

they'll get to feel.

And if they're, they're truly blessed

and they're get to believe

and if you're dammed, you'll never

let yourself be diseased.

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

makes your blood flow.

It's better that you know,

That love is hard.

Hmmmmmmm...

Kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

makes your blood flow.

It's better that we know..

And it kicks so hard,

it breaks your bones.

Cuts so deep

it hits your soul.

Tears your skin and

And makes your blood flow.

It's better that you know,

That love is hard..

love is hard, love is hard.

If it was easy,

it wouldn't mean nothing tough."

-Love is hard, James Morrison <3

103.Jimmy Choo for H&M

#1.

Knee high boots I love! ♥

But surely, my legs aren't long enough. :(

Images were released a while ago, but here is the new collection of Jimmy Choo's for H&M.

I can't wait to check them out in stores but usually I am a little bit disappointed at the collaboration collections, because they usually are :

1. Not as nice as the couture collections.

2. Usually still rather pricey, though I guess this kind of shoes are bought for the name. As of right now, prices for shoes ranges from about 40 Euros - 200 Euros. That is still about 400 NOK to 2000 NOK (RM 200 to RM1000)

*Lazy to convert properly.

3. Chances of Jimmy himself who designs the shoes are not very high. (I suspect, its the design team, again refer to point about buying for names) But! personally I think some of his shoes are truly Omg-worthy. I love ♥

And, if you didn't already know, Jimmy Choo is a Malaysian. And comes from my hometown on Penang

*National pride* More reasons to want his collection even more!

He is one of the few Designer collaborations that I can't wait to check out!

#2

Can I say I love? Want!

#3

A bit too much for me.

#4

Nah, too regular looking.

#5

Oh, Love the whole studded look! Loveeee!

#6.

Peek toes! Yummm*

#7.

This one I absolutely love! ♥ (Hrm, where did I hear that before?) :)

But Omgomgomg! Want!

#8.

And it comes in flats too, I love flats!

*Hyperventilate! OMGWTFBBQDVDABCRIP!

#9.

Meh, next. :)

Jimmy Choo's line of bags and accesories :)

Price range about the same as shoes.

Personally, the bags I don't think they are Omg-worthy. Maybe I am just biased like that and thinks his forté is shoes.

Jimmy Choo for H&M clothing line.

#14

In stores November 14!

Oh, if any one is a major fan of Jimmy Choo's but living in Malaysia (thus, no H&M), feel free to mail me and maybe I can help you buy it. Buyer covers all shipping costs. Okay! And, you can help Me get my shoes, by clicking the ads on the sidebar! Google Adsense is so much better, incase you are only willing to click one ad. :)

093. Once When I Was Little

In need of more pictures! :( My pictures are now all über outdated. 

"Once When I Was Little - James Morrison

I was the one, who would always jump in first
Didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling, just from playing in the dirt
Once, when I was little

We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon
There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little, umm
Once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believed more then
That the world could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little umm ohh lalala

There was a time when I trusted everyone
Yes I did
There was no place that I would not go oh no
Spend a day on the hillside next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yea once, when I, I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believe more then
That this world could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little

Used to feel so strong
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live in a magic world
Cause it's time for me to grow up
That I got to be like the rest of them
When I know there acting up ohh

I could believe more then yes I could
I could pretend more then
That this life could only get better
I could believe more then yes I could
I could pretend more then

That this world could only show me good times
Once, when I was little
When I was little

So here comes the next one, the next in line
Stay as young you can, for the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze just passing through
Once, when I was little"

How could you not love James right! 

Especially when you are in for the whole mellow music that makes you feel all warm and cuddly inside.

Anyways, it is soon the end of August... For the Malaysians, we have the Merdeka (Malaysian Independence Day) coming up soon! Tomorrow in fact! 

I am thinking, I should make an attempt to cook some Malaysian dishes tomorrow, Roti Canai and some Chicken Curry. Then go and find some helpless souls to be my guinea pigs! 

It is sooooooo crazy to sometimes look back and think how fast time has passed by!

Ahhhh, why am I so old already?

It is only  a matter of days till I wake up and discover I am filled with wrinkles and developing osteoporosis. 

Oh the horror!

As you can tell, I have nothing to tell about, but I will go do something awesome today! And maybe tomorrow, I can make headlines! *evil laughter

090. Compilation

This is my compilation of the funniest X-Factor auditions. Some cute, some weird, some I just don't know...

Watch, if your a tad bored on this Sunday morning!

I would not say they are all bad or anything, some were horrendous, but some were so cute!

Though some like to call it, generally a little bit deluded, to say the least

I give them credit for trying though!

Who are we to judge right, so I'll keep my 'opinions' to myself, 

And let you decide for yourself, what cha' think? :)

This one you have to click to watch! "Embedding disabled by request" 

Though it's crazy funny!.
