Still remember the penguin story at the Simon's Town?

If not, you can refer it back to: http://yourafricaandtheafrica.blogspot.com/2011/01/20.html

Look at this cute sign board on the way along the penguin colony!

So cute isn't it? :)

When I saw this thing on the beach, I thought it was a tail of dinosaur.

I then assumed that it's a tail of dinosaur although my mum was saying that it's just a seaweed kind of thing came from the sea.

Mmmmmm. Maybe it is. But it is too huge to be just seaweed, mum.

So I went closer, looking at it closer. I hoped if I'd find blood or flesh around it.

But nope.

I just was seaweed.

Booooooo.

Sedi eating Chinese food!

It was a birthday of friend of mine who was also on an exchange from Malaysia to South Africa.

So we bought some Chinese food from Chinese Town in the central of Johannesburg for the birthday feast.

And this is Sedi, a friend of mine trying out Chinese food with chopsticks!

It was her very time to use chopsticks and eat Chinese cuisine.

In the end, she almost gave up using chopsticks and used them as forks to pick up food. Hahah.

Just for the record, using chopsticks is also a mission for Asians who culturally use chopsticks daily.

Why?

Because it is also difficult for us to use chopsticks in the right way!

I bet there would only half of people who can actually use chopsticks in the right way among those chopsticks users.

Even myself use the chopsticks in the wrong way. :/

In fact, I do have some Western friends who use chopsticks in the perfect way.

So, yup. Using chopsticks is hard in conclusion.

Look what I found in a old bookstore! hehe

By the way, there is quite a number of old bookstore where you can exchange books or just buy books along on Long Street.

So it'd be a lovely idea to grab a random book to read in a bookstore.

Well, I like to do that often. Hahaha.

It would be quite uncomfortable to do that in certain bookstores though.. :/

They would give you 'buy it or leave' kind of look. Hahah.

Wonder how to travel around in South Africa?

Don't worry about it!

Because........... You've got 'Bazbus'!

It basically goes around most of tourist spots in South Africa like Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Garden route and Cape Town.

It offers travel pass that could last for minimum 7 days to 21 days, so during the days, you could hop on and off the bus anytime to go to anywhere!

Hence it is very easy to travel around the nation.

Need more information?

Here you go! http://www.bazbus.com/

A helicopter and a stuck huge ship at the beach on a foggy day.

Mmmmmm.

That is not really a usual scene to expect on a beach.

Maybe a helicopter is still alright, but a ship?

That ship has been stuck here for almost a year.

Yes, it is literally stuck.

As I know, it had some technical problems so was not able to come through till the habour, but stuck there.

And there is not many options to help this situation out.

So... it is stuck there. :(

Taken in Cape Town, Western Cape.

P.s. Hello, guys.

There is a great concert coming up soon in Cape Town, I am so excited to tell you guys!

If you are there, you should head there for an awesome night!

Enjoy :)

Have you met a friend a few miles away by chance before?

I have and it was totally amazing experience!

I was on holidays to Knysna in Western Cape province which is miles and miles away from Cape Town where I was staying then.

Knysna is pretty famous for their fresh oysters so I was trying to find a restaurant that is recommended by the hostel owner in the hostel I stay.

Actually on the way there, I gave up half way, and was on the way back to the hostel.

But then, I suddenly felt really urge to eat the oysters, so I walked back all again.

When I just reached the restaurant, someone called my name from the back.

I was like..... No way.

But it was for real!

My two friends from Cape Town were right there!

They saw me walking around and followed me along to check if it is really me. Hahah.

So there we were.

Eating oysters and sushi in a restaurant that I almost gave up to find in Knysna, far away from where we originally stay.

And it was the very first time for Anna (at the left in the picture) to try oysters.

Life does surprise you with unexpected things sometimes, doesn't it? :)

Monkeys are scary.

You don't think so?

You perhaps have not met this crazy scary monkey yet.

I was having holidays in Durban with friends.

And... one fine day..

Our balcony door was open.

And..... a monkey sneaked into our apartment!!

We thought we could chase him away.

So we tried to scare him off.

But then who knew, he was freaking scary!

He was fighting back to us.

So we all ran away from him to hide.

And the monkey ran so fast to one conner of the kitchen.

And found a banana that was hidden somewhere that we did not even remember that we had a banana there.

Scary monkey!

Could he possibly know that there was a banana even before entering our apartment?

Mmmmmm!

Anyways, bear in your mind - Monkeys are scary, indeed.

Had a bad day?

Things can not be any worse than now?

Well, that is what I felt 2 days ago.

So... the journey of bad starts with.... going to library........ on SUNDAY.

The reason I went to library on a lovely Sunday was pretty simple - I wanted to print some notes out for my assignment.

Tried to print for a printer........... Dang. it says, no jobs available in my account.

Maybe I did not click the 'print' button properly.

So.. I attempted to print, again.

The printer still says the same thing!

OK, let's try different printer.

Right. It says the same thing, again.

Ah.

Looked for someone to help me out, yes, today is Sunday.

No one of ITS people would be in the library to assistant me.

Ah.

But then seems like I always saw ITS people around even on Sundays..

Oh well.

There is no one today.

So I basically went through all three floors in the library to print.

None of them worked.

Fine.

And the story continues with other small little what that annoying things happened...

To make it short, the bad day ended with losing a parking ticket in a shopping mall, and that costs me RM 20 while I actually needed to pay only RM 3.

I then talked to my mum at night.

Told her whatever happened.

She said, oh, that's it?

And suddenly all the rubbish things happened to me that day seems .... does not really matter after all.

Thus, I am not the only one suffering in the whole world.

Right.

It is just a small little thing.

It was just a unlucky day.

I always believe that there will be a sunny day after a rainy day.

If life is giving you hard time, try to believe so.

It does help, for me. ;)

Oh, and about the picture, it's a smiley face cookie! and me. Haha.

In honour of Mother's day, I would like to post a picture of me and my mum.

Hahaha. Silly. I know.

Today - 5th of May is also a Parents' day in Korea.

Thank you, mum.

It makes everything so alright when she says it's alright.

Look! what I found in a coffee shop!

A SPOON DISPENSER!

I found it really interesting! It gives you a spoon if you push down the red bar things on each side!

How cute is that? :)

I have mentioned that there's one conner where people are selling vintage stuff in Long Street.

And.. I met him there.

And he became a good friend of mine although we only met a few times.

Whenever I walked through Long Street, I always tried to stop by to say hello to him.

He then would ask me, how I am with smiles.

I was on the way to Waterfront from Long Street which takes about 40 minutes on foot one day.

He then handed one hat from the stuff that he was selling to me.

He said, I better wear it if not, my face would get burned since the sun was so hot and I can return it to him next time.

And I managed to give him back the hat before saying good-bye.

with promises that I will come back soon.

I am now feeling little bad, because the promise seems little impossible to happen real soon.

I hope he is doing alright.

Some random people you meet on travel remind you of the place.

And maybe that is the memory holding you.

Yes! We all love to smoke Hubbly-bubbly. Shisa is widely called Hubbly-bubbly in South Africa.

Smoking Hubbly-bubbly on grass on a sunny day would be a great idea to chill.

One funny thing- basically most of people in the resident own Hubbly-bubbly.

Or there will be definitely one person who has it in one group of friends.

We all love it that much!

Or maybe it is the student life in the boring hostel. Hahaha
