ARROW ROOT@NGA KU

JOKES TO ETERNITY

A Chinese believe, not to kill a single animal while you are alive. For instant, an ant. If you believe in karma, you will have the same faith the next life.

A conversation between a filial son and mother:

Mother: Please kill all the flies to prevent from sitting on the food.

Son: Alright.

After killing a hordes of flies,

Son: If you saw me at judgement day, please help me by saying good deeds I had done.

Mother: Why is it so?

Son: Tell the judge I had been doing all the killings for you.

Tips Sebelum Pergi Melancung atau Bercuti(Holiday)

Sebelum pergi melancung bersama keluarga...
1. Rancang dulu..ke mana nak pergi dan di mana nak tinggal?

2. Tempahan ...beli semasa harga murah!

Banyak promosi sepanjang tahun dari segi tambang murah MAS atau Air Asia..

3. Bila...cuti sekolah atau cuti umum?

Masa cuti sekolah atau umum dianggap peak seasons...banyak bayaran tambahan dikenakan dan susah nak dapat tempahan murah. Jadi kalau boleh pergi bercuti dengan keluarga semasa cuti luar biasa..Good Friday ( hanya Sarawak sahaja) dan cuti peristiwa bagi sekolah anda.

4. Belanjawan...selepas dapat gaji atau duit lebih?

Jangan pergi melancung jika duit tak cukup..dan jangan berbelanja terlebih sudah!! Yang ada kad kredit hanya guna credit limit.. jangan bayar tunai!!!

Cadangan: bercuti ke tempat-tempat yang bersejarah,ada keistimewaan, destinasi pelancongan dan taman tema. Di samping bercuti dan melawat tempat-tempat yang menarik, membeli barang-barang yang akan disimpan sebagai hadiah,buah tangan, hobi dan kenangan. Antara tempat-tempat yang boleh dilawati ialah :

1. Pulau Langkawi - free-duty goods dan tempat-tempat bersejarah ( Makam Mahsuri, Beras Terbakar, Galeri Perdana Menteri ).

2. Kuala Lumpur - shopping dan ke taman tema ( Sunway Lagoon, The Mines).

3. Cameron Highlands, Pahang - tinggal di Equatorial Hotel & Apartment: pemandangan dan beli strawberries.

4. Genting Highlands dan Berjaya Hills, Pahang - bermalam di Colmar Tropicle ( Berjaya Hills )

5. Port Dickson, N. Sembilan - tengok pantai PD & shopping.

6. Labuan & K.Kinabalu , Sabah - Tiga hari di Labuan dan 4 hari di KK. Susah nak dapat hotel di Labuan ( fully booked ). Di KK tak ada masalah dr segi hotel d & pengangkutan. Melawat ke Taman Negara KK, Kundasang & Poring Hot Springs. Beli mutiara & makanan laut.

It is better to be prepared than to be sorry, and a simple medical kit will come in handy during holidays.

1. Be prepared for unexpected delays and extensions by bringing sufficient medication.
2. Carry a doctor's note or medical card to verify the medication needed, when travelling to a country that prohibits entry of any kind of food or medication.
3. Place all medication in your hand luggage to pre-empt any loss of checked-in luggage.
4. Be conscious of various storage conditions for the medication as freezing temperature or exposure to sunlight may affect their efficacy.
5. Do not carry any liquid medicine when alternatives are available due to restrictions of carrying liquid in any hand luggage.
6. Prepare a doctor's note on medication needed so that right purchases can be made at the holiday destination, in the event of any emergencies or misplaced luggage.
