When I was working in the States, I never had the fear of getting lost, simply because of Google Maps. I can get directions to anywhere, even remote towns using Google Maps. And whenever I’m lost, and weren’t prepared, I simply have to stop by a wireless hotspot, turn on the laptop, and find out where I am on Google Maps.

Back in Malaysia, I was a little disappointed that Google didn’t extend this service to this country. However, only today, I found out that it’s finally up and running here!

No more getting lost!

Directions:
MPAJ (Pandan Indah) to Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall.
MPAJ (Pandan Indah) to Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall.

Of Cabbages And Condoms…

How is cabbages and condoms related? Cabbages are a common food in Northeast Thailand, in fact they are a staple part of the diet, they are grown in all villages, there are everywhere and everybody uses them. Now, if condoms could be as common and used as often, then some of the population and health problems facing Thailand could be overcome. Let’s take a journey inside the restaurant.

Source Cabbages and Condom (background)

The restaurant is located at Soi 12, Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok a little lane next to a hotel.

There’s a souvenir shop at the restaurant.

Flowers are made of condoms. You will see decorations within the restaurant decorated by condoms.


Rather interesting…

Santa condom and his lovely beach girl condom. You can see everything is made out of condom, creative.

From the entrance onwards i was just snapping away like some freaky tourist. Can’t help myself :P So how does the restaurant actually look like…..

I was so surprise on the set up, it’s so pretty. I pick to sit outside, great ambience. Luckily that day was not too hot and they did a good mosquito fogging too.

I think upstairs is the smoking section.

They serve traditional Thai food with some Western food. Well.. most visitors there are tourist. Didn’t take any pictures on the food cause i order typical tom yum and pineapple fried rice. The food taste pretty good. In Thailand if you eat local food, it’s pretty safe. I enjoy Thai food and pretty much stick to the same type. Pricing is slighty more expensive than outside but still affordable. Example: if a tom yum cost 180 Baht outside it would cost 250 Baht here.

Last but not least, this is Condom man. It says made from contraceptive pills.

When you pay the bill they will give you condoms for souvenir. They gave me & Peking duck a red and a blue one. It’s a place you should pop by whenever you pay a visit to Bangkok.

Don’t forget to be safe!

Till next time…

Benefit’s Benetint Lip Balm

For those who don’t know what’s Benetint, it’s a blusher tint for your cheek.They also have it for your lips. It works just like the Benetint (also check out my review for Posie Tint) for your cheek. Just apply it on your lips and it gives a natural pinkish tone to your lips. You can wear it natural or a lipstick on top. It’s not a gloss or a lipstick it’s just a lip balm. It’s worn underneath your lipstick. For those who like natural pinkish lips i would recommend Benefit’s Benetint. This is something i don’t leave the house without. Especially for those who are worried they might forget their lipstick or gloss, just apply some Benetint and you won’t have to live with pale lips ;)

It’s been a bad habit of mine ever since i had to deal with winter and the dry weather when i was growing up in the states. I have to use lip balm for fall, winter, spring and summer. You don’t really have to use it when it’s hot but you will definitely need it when it’s cold. It gets pretty bad, your lips will break in lines and you will see blood coming out from the lines. As for summer you don’t really have to use it as your lips won’t break out, but some people use it for protection from the sun (SPF for your lips). Also good for exfoliating your lips from time to time.

When it’s cold out and you don’t apply any source of lip balm your lips will break due to the cold/dry weather and strong wind, you will end up with chapped lips. It is definitely not sexy for a girl. Besides protecting our lips , lip balm (chapstick) will also smoothen out the lines on our lips. I guess that’s why people say i have no lines on my lips, nice and smooth :)

My lips always feel dry from time to time and i’ll apply my lip balm and people always ask me and think that i’m applying lipstick. Well… i don’t think it’s a habit i can kick but it definitely won’t do me any bad.

Till next time…

The day the we sat still..

… in the cinema listening to a lecture. Did I just paid RM 22 to get lectured on saving Mother Nature? I managed to slip away from lectures in university all these while, and finally I got duped into one.

“The Day The Earth Stood Still” was just plain stupid. No content, no nothing, just a 2-hr lecture. And if your objective is really to save Mother Nature, take all the proceeds and contribute to renewable energy resources or something.

Stupid show. Should’ve watched Yes Man instead.
