Yesterday, we went on a 1day-tour to Koh Rok islands. From Koh Lanta, you can arrange this package tour to and from the island with your hotel for 1600THB per person. (10THB = RM1.05) Having said that, lunch and drinks  are included in the package.

Koh Rok is located 47 kilometers (45 minutes journey on a speedboat) from Koh Lanta Yai, is a small island surrounded by emerald green water which you feel like diving in anytime.

With its crescent shaped bay featuring cliffs, white powdery sandy beach and a stand of banyan trees inland, Koh Rok is extraordinarily magnificent. Camping is permitted on the island.

Koh Rok is being regulated to preserve the heritage of the island.

When diving offshore, you will be amazed by the abundant sea life. Did you see the fishes in the image above?

You can snorkel from here and share the water with many different species of fish.

Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided for those who do not know how to swim.

And I really hate to wear this! I really looked weird!

Hate the life jacket as well.  Initially, I acted like a hero, jumping into the Andaman Sea without snorkeling equipment and life jacket (this is extremely uncomfortable when you feel like swimming in the sea).

However, it  is very tiring to tread in the waters for a long time.

Thus, I gave in to the life jacket for the convenience of floating without any leg movements!!

I could even float effortlessly, facing towards the blue sky for a moment of relaxation.

Our dearest Kev bear was searching for fish for his dinner!

In Koh Rok, you get to snorkel in 3 different places and capture a view of different coral reef and sea life.

After hours of snorkeling and swimming in the deep blue sea, you definitely wanna embrace the sea breeze on the 45-minute way back to Koh Lanta.

Koh Rok is worth every Thai Baht you pay. Do not miss Koh Rok when you are at Krabi or Ko Lanta.

I will definitely be back, Koh Rok! You are simply magnificent!

My one and only brother, Jeremy is no longer a small boy. He is moving into his teens. Stepping into secondary school means an all new era for him.

As I was browsing through my brother’s English exercises, I almost fell off my chair.

Seriously, no joke.

Let’s look into his English Comprehension/ Summary exercise book.

Wait, Jeremy is in Secondary One. Not Primary One!

Why is he learning matching pictures with words? Don’t they learn what’s charcoal and fire when they are in Primary school??

You mean they don’t learn how to construct sentences in primary school? Shouldn’t they be learning how to write longer essays at this age?

What has happened to our dearest Malaysian education?

Can someone please tell me why is the standard of Secondary 1 English has dropped so much compared to our era?

I can’t believe this!

No wonder I still find conversations like this; “Excuseeee me, miss. I want a letter signature from your boss by your company and you cannot forgotten to fax to me, you know?”

Buat aku pengsan terus!

One word. Madness.

One phrase. Damn digusted.

One sentence. I am absolutely aggravated and frustrated with the political condition in my home state.

It caused an ultimate fury to most Perakians to know that BN is going to take over the state assembly. My dear Sultan, what the **** you are doing? Why are you putting the stake of your citizens into the hands of liars and thieves? I cannot believe what you have done.

Perak has seen a gradual progress under the noble hands of Nizar and his state council. Why rob it away from us? Why?

You call this democracy? My a**!!

There is not much democracy practised in this country. The cry of democracy is vanishing into thin air. Thanks to the ubiquitous money politics. Ya ya ya, then you will debate that both PR or BN are into money politics… I hear you loud and clear on this! But do not forget that BN has robbed us much more than anyone else. Because of them, Malaysia is no longer a peace haven.

Heaven knows when these corrupted buggers will be swept away from the surface of the earth. If it is happening, please happen faster. Distressed, overwhelmed, indescribable and I felt like screaming at those who are still supporting BN blindly!

ARGH!!

It just pisses me off!

And yeah, don’t come near me now. I WILL BITE!!

So, we only need to pay RM2.00 per litre right now. Well, I am having a mixed reaction of feelings inside me at the moment.

Happy because I do not need to pay a bomb for feeding my car. Especially when we travel around Klang Valley so often, the mileage increases a lot and cars get thirstier than ever. At least I do not need to pay more than 20cents per km now.

Frustrated because the prices of food & beverages are not down yet. My favourite Roti Canai used to be at RM0.70-0.80 before the price hike in June 2008. Now it’s priced at RM1.10-1.20. I am sure a lot of Malaysians are agitated with the inflation and the creeping costs of living in Klang Valley is unbearable. Sadly to say, prices have gone up, and it will be irreversible. I wish it will but this is a matter of fact.

Well, I guess we just have to UBAH GAYA HIDUP as what our Prime Minister said.
