芒果蛋糕荔芝味のMango cake

芒果蛋糕, 还没吃就流口水了. 今天是外甥的生日, 二姐买了这个蛋糕, 简单的庆祝一番.
Mango cake, delicious and makes my mouth water.. Today is my nephew's birthday, my sis bought a cake to celebrate it.

叫他笑, 他竟然笑成这样 = =.

lol ask him to smile he gave this...

香甜的芒果味, 软软的蛋糕, 而我竟然吃到荔芝味@@...太想吃荔芝了?

Yummy~~I love cake! But it's weird that I tasted laichi flavour in this cake.

再回味一下还没进肚子时的生日蛋糕.

Just go n try one.

平平安安的夜晚のSilent 9

圣诞节, 我是没庆祝的, 但蛮喜欢这时期的气氛, 轻松, 平静, 温馨. 不知道为何, 今年的圣诞会比较冷清. 可能是没什么朋友回来吧. 本来还以为又是会呆在家里的, 静静的听Sarah的圣诞歌, 悄悄的度过又一个佳节. 结果是全家出动, 去办年货. 才哪几小时, 就用了近200了. 买不多, 只是三样东西.
X'mas, a lovely, peaceful & lonely day for me. Although I don't celebrate it, but I quite like the feeling for this special day. At 1st I thought will be same as last few years, just sitting alone at home & listen to my favorite X'mas song (this year will b Sarah Mclachlan-Wintersong), but at the end went out with my family to buy some clothes for the coming cny. In just 2 hours, i spent almost 200 for 3 things.

休闲运动鞋, RM99.
Walking shoes.

是时候换新的牛仔裤了, RM60.
It's time for me to buy new jeans.

贴身衣物, RM26+.
Somethings only my future wife can see.

越南☆Vietnamの我爱沙吧-1★I Love Sapa-1

沙吧, 离河内蛮远, 所以选坐8小时的夜班火车, 一路睡到沙吧.
Sapa is quite far from Hanoi, so I chose to take 8 hours sleeper, sleep sleep sleep...
四人豪华车厢, 都很干净及舒适, 只不过狭窄了一点. 而厕所就......
4 ppl "luxury" cabin, decent and comfortable, although it's a bit crowded. For the toilet part, hmm...

狭窄的走道. A very narrow kaki lima.










14号车厢, 来回都坐它. 清晨的河内火车站.
No 14 carriage.

到达老街火车站接近早上5点, 然后再坐van车直上沙吧, 所以沿途可以看到日出.
About 5am I arrived at Lao Cai, then took a van to Sapa, along the journey can have a good view of sun rise.

到了沙吧, 一看到这些景色, 我就立刻爱上沙吧了. 美丽的山景, 清新的空气(如果此地不是开始商业化了, 空气会更好). 这里的温度是介于10~18°C.
Wow, I can say I LOVE SAPA! Look at the view, magnificent! Fresh air (if there r no modern vehicles here, that'll be great) and there is so cold at here (10~18°C).










菜园及梯田, 加上无边山色.
Natural farms and terraces.

卡卡村, 黑苗族收费旅游景点.
CatCat Cultural Village, all about Black Miller (Black Miao).

美丽的梯田, 只可惜现在不是丰收时期.
Beautiful terraces, too bad it's not a harvest session now.











苗族人的刺绣闻名于世, 在这里可亲眼见识到, 你要买时记得杀价. 我拍照时都是偷偷摸摸的, 而且拍完立刻闪人, 不然她们可会向你收拍照费(不是全部苗人啦)或拉着你卖东西.
Millers r fomous of their stitching skill. But remember that when U want to take thier photo, pls ask, if not they may charge U or keep selling their stuffs to U(or U can curi-curi take their photo and then sim yan, I did that ^^).










一些在卡卡村售卖的商品. Some of the goodies U can buy at here.










苗族的小孩, 有些穿整套衣, 有些只穿衣不穿裤, 有的干脆不穿.
Their children, some will wear properly but some like to be naked.

小小年纪, 就已经会帮妈妈雕石雕了.
This small girl, I think around 5~6 years old already helping her mum to sculpt. What did U do when U were her age?

漂亮可爱的小石雕师. Aren't her adorable?

很多小孩会跟着游客, 然后可爱的对你笑. 当你有笑回时, 他们都会从包包拿出东西向你销售. 你可看得出这个小女孩在做什么吗?
Some kidz here like to follow tourist, and then will show their innocent smile. If U give respond, they will start selling things to U liao. What do U think this girl r doing?

柳暗花明又一村, 走走下梯田不见了, 竟然来到了竹林, 凉风习习, 清新的空气.
Suddenly terraces gone, and I walked into a place full of bamboo.

不单有竹林, 瀑布也有. Waterfall some more!

越南☆Vietnamの下龙湾★HalongBay

从河内到下龙湾, 坐了接近4小时的巴士才抵达, 坐到屁股发麻. 其实不是很远, 只不过180km, 在马来西亚飞车的话应该2小时内到达. 但是越南路上限时速40km, 有时巴士甚至走20, 加上路不平, 在车上跳下跳下的, 如果你会晕车, 请先吃避晕丸.
From Hamoi to HalongBay is about 180km, sound near right? But I took around 4 hours bus to reach my hotel. Why so? Cause the bus driver only can drive 40km/h = =, and the road is very narrow and bumpy, sometime he drives 20km/h. U will shout OMG if U r that kind of person that will have car sick, so swallow some Novomin be4 U go.










抵达时已入黑, 就住进3.5星级的HalongSpring Hotel. 看来蛮不错的.
3.5-star HalongSpring Hotel, quite nice.

漂亮的下龙湾早晨, 不远处就是石林了.
Good Morning HalongBay ^^ at the far U can see the rock forest.










出河咯, 开头还以为会坐小的船, 那不是很浪漫@.@
Small sampan, romantic ho.










原来不是, 是乘搭比较大的, 可算是3★级的.
Their ships r just like 3★ hotel, big and comfortable.










豪华座位, 雕木天花板, 不错吧.
Fabulous seats and full of classical design.

无敌河境, 感觉好像会有UFO下降. What r U thinking? UFO?










沿途可以看到船上水果挡. U can see many hawkers selling fruits by sailing the small sampan.

下龙湾是世界奇观之一, 它拥有3000多个各式各样的小岛.
HalongBay is one of the wonders of the world. It has around 3k different shape and size of small islands.

像狗吗? Similar to a doggy?

害羞的船长. A bashful and humble captain.

越南☆Vietnamの河内★Hanoi

越南, 拥有8千6百多万人口, 而河内就住着1千万人了, 可说是十分的拥挤. 第一天抵达河内, 就发现越南的收费站很麻烦, 竟然要先在收费站500米前买票然后才过关.
There r more than 80m ppl live in Vietnam, for Hanoi there r already 10m, kind of crowded. The 1st day arrived at Hanoi, U can find that its tolls r way different from ours, U have to buy the pass at a station 500m before the toll!










导游说这是制造工作机会. The tour guide said that this it just to create more job opportunities.

越南大约有80%的农民, 所以你可以看到很多稻田都在大马路旁. 而他们的稻田都分成一块块的, 差不多每家一块田, 有些是自己种自己吃, 因为太穷了. 这和适耕庄的就大有不同.
More than 80% of the ppl in Vietnam r farmers, so U can see many farms just beside the main road.

适耕庄的稻田, 商业化. This is a farm in Malaysia, difference right?










河内没有地缆, 所以你一抬头就看到非常多的电缆从横交错, 就酱拉来拉去的, 十分惊人.
In Hanoi there r no underground cables, so when U look up, U can see many cables just simply hanging there, this view astounded me.










此类卖菜姑娘, 到处可见, 十分传统, 而且还用很旧式的秤-杆秤, 在大马应该中医店或旧式杂货店才用吧.
Look at her, U will not surprise to see many Vietnamese just selling the goods like this and she is using a steelyard scale, I think in Malaysia U can only found it in the chinese medicine shop or some old fashion shop.










越南大多数人以motor来代步, 所以motor骑有如走路, 不难看到motor杂技.
Most of the Vietnamese ride motor, and they ride motor like walking, it's not hard for them to play trick on it.










河内出名一种法国面包, 外脆内香, 而在离开河内的路上都可见到有人卖此类面包, 以让离开的人有手信. 导游说大约买5~6千越南币.
Hanoi is famous of its baguette (but it's short n fat), crispy crust and nice aroma. U can see many ppl r selling this kind of bread along the road to leave Hanoi. The tour guide said it sells around 5~6k VND.

是不是很干净呢, 要在大马找到应该很难吧. 越南的巴士可是要每天都洗, 不然会被罚款的. 我摸过, 真的是一尘不染.
Can U find any bus in Malaysia that is as clean as this one? Hard right? In Vietnam, U have to clean the bus everyday, if not, U will be fined.
