Sunway Lagoon Impromptu trip

 

"BOOK A TICKET & JUST LEAVE."

Yup, I just did that last weekend. Super short notice, but it was nearby - Kuala Lumpur.

Decided to do a surprise trip for the boy because he is there for 2 weeks on business.

 

Took the earliest flight out on Sunday morning because I had a wedding dinner on Saturday.

 

 

Arrived at Kuala Lumpur shortly, and went straight to Sunway Lagoon Resort and Spa.

It was GRAND!

I didn't expect such a big hotel, and apparently, it is quite good.

Needless to say, it is. It boost a good class gym facilities. :)

Of course, the bathtub is bigger than normal.

 

It was a surprise trip hence he didn't know about it. Reached there around 9plus and when I rang the doorbell like 3 times, he didn't open. So I thought he went for breakfast...

Went to the front desk and request to call his room for testing... and turn out.. he is still sleeping ... Plan partial fail. haha. but he was still very much surprised and his happiness didn't hid away.

:):):)

 

His happiness mood in a super messy hair. lol. he still dare say he only hear the last bell.

Because I woke him up from slumber, he decided to stay awake and head out early. hehe.

 

 

The entrance of the Sunway Lagoon.

 

The view from his room.

 

The swimming pool.

 

 

 

The entrance of the shopping mall.

Here, the theme feels like Egyptian style, with all the gold decocations.

Feels grand, and very spacious.

During nightfall, it is beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went to Bukit Bintang area for the day for movie, bowling and eating food street!

Really enjoyable I don't know why. haha.

Took the public train back to the resort cause it's cheaper, and we wanted to experience it.

Taxi from KLIA to Sunway Lagoon typically RM65-70 (45mins) so it's expensive if you are alone.

Travelling using the express train to KLCC, take bus/ train is definitely cheaper by RM20.

Nearest train station is Kelana Jaya and taking a bus to Sunway is only 20min, cost RM1.

Think about it.

 

 

 

Had a great relaxing me time the following day with rainbow cake :)

The café called Library Café is good!

Go try their coffee and cakes!

 

 

Did not regret going on this impromptu trip cause I seldom see his "so-happy" face. haha...

Memories collection. :)

 

 

Eat. Beach. Sleep. Repeat. Phuket 2015 Part 2

On our second day, we both went gym (yes, I managed to psycho him!) and chanced upon a table tennis room! Oh, it brought back so much memories of playing table tennis back in school days.... ahh... those days..

He managed to beat me and then told me he was in school team. What?! Should have given me handicap right?! Unfair.

But well, it was an enjoyable moment playing together. :)

 

Then, we ventured other beaches using the motor cycle we loaned for 24 hours.

It was seriously hot that sitting on a bike get suntanned faster than if you were at the beach.

 

Because of the heat, we didn't have the mood to eat as well, hence we just brought some food at the mart and bring it to the beach to relax, enjoy the breeze.

It was really much cooling under the coconut tree and enjoying our romantic beach picnic. hehe.

 

 

 

Mid afternoon, we returned the bike and stayed in our hotel and enjoy the facilities - Swimming pool, tan, and drinking coconut juice. Enjoyment. Life is great just like that.

 

 

 

Personal opinion, the swimming pool is quite impressive for this so-so hotel. Didn't expect this though.

 

 

We bought Fantasea tickets and went for it at 6pm. The bus picked us up and sent us there.

This is my first time and I was quite amazed by the grandness of this place.

Thought it would be only a small place, but it looks big.

 

Because I was so hungry, we went for dinner first. The dinner is buffet and it was big! Like Expo hall size. Note that when you enter, walk straight to eat first, don't go right side and take picture because they will think you have eaten your dinner, and cannot go back into the dining hall again.

When you exit, you have time to take picture.

 

You will be allocated seats when you purchased your tickets, so just go to your assigned seats to eat.

Dinner was good!

 

 

 

 

We decided to have some fun before entering the show and played all the kiddy stuffs. And he won! haha... :) He is good at shooting games, think that's what his NS trained him well.

 

Overall, I enjoyed the show and think it's worth watching one time. But I wouldn't go back and watch again.

Our next day was just totally nua until just eat, swim, massage. haha...

Went to this apparently popular food place, called No. 6 Restaurant near Bangla.

Soup is great! :)

But noodle.. not good.

 

 

Till the next holidays! :)

 

 

 

Eat. Beach. Sleep. Repeat. - Phuket 2015

Ah. Being back from a super relaxing beach break - Phuket.

Booked this during some fare sale and just do it.

Phuket wasn't on our "to-go" list but heck it. We need a break!

 

Booked sea sun sand resort which is near the end of patong beach.

It's true that most reviews says it's confusing because you have to change lifts here and there to get to your rooms.

But that's a minor issue.

To me, the major issue was the sound proofing was bad. People close door and hear very loud.

But i'm on holiday, so having the seaview, sunset view, and the pool view was just comforting for me.

 

 

Since it was already close to dinner time, we decided to take a walk down the beach and over to Junceylon for a nice good dinner. GGH wasn't feeling well, hence we went for steamboat at MK Gold Restaurant.

Ordered ala carte and had a very filling meal. Cost ard $40 for 2. The most expensive went to the shabu shabu meat.

Went around for a walk and just within 1 year of returning back here, Junceylon is getting very international. There's even Pandora there! Sometimes I kinda hope that such places don't so internationalised so that it keeps the local feel and us, tourists, can appreciate their culture.

Most of the people shopping inside are all tourist, I wonder does the locals visit...

 

 

Settled down early in preparation for the next whole day event.

We bought island hopping trip from one of the street, costing us THB1,200 per person.

Different operators quote differently, so try and get your best price.

We also got the Fantasea tickets for THB 1,600 including dinner.

 

The Phi Phi Island trip is the whole day, and it was a 45min bus ride from our resort to the marina.

 

Started off with the Monkey Island where we get to see monkeys. Not very interesting considering zoo has a lot of monkeys. haha.. even Machritchie has monkeys roaming. hahaha...

 

 

After that, we went to the middle of somewhere where we got to jup off the boat and snorkel in the middle of the sea.

The water was so clear and beautiful. You could see many small fishes!

 

 

After that, we went to an island where they served buffet lunch. This was slightly different from what I experienced during Krabi.

In Krabi, my island hopping lunch was brought to the beach itself and they just laid a mat and serve us food.

This, was a proper restaurant type.

And the food is quite good. Had ourselves ice cream cause it was too scorching hot! It was like 36 degrees??? I was like applying sunblock every hour.

 

 

Beautiful sight.

 

We reach Maya Bay where we could snorkel/ swim over there.

Damn shiok. The scenery was beautiful, and lying in the waters under the sun was super cooling.

My skin was burning!

 

Our last island was Khai Nai Island, equally beautiful.

Much bigger and there were shops selling bbq food.

Again, we snorkelled and saw more fishes here.

I think this place has the most types of fishes I've seen so far. 

 

 

Beautiful beach seats, but it cost THB150.

 

 

 

After our whole day island hopping trip, we had a very quick dinner because we booked our massage at sweet lemon grass which was rather far from our place.

 

We settled for an eatery just beside our resort, and it serves good thai food! I was surprised, cause I didn't really expect that type of standard lah... Thumbs up!!!!

 

And we decided to try renting a bike to ride!

Super nervous cause both of us never try riding a bike!

The rental is cheap so it's definitely worth renting than going by taxi.

One day rental was THB300. Quite standard. Unless you choose those newer ones or more trendy ones.

Bravo boy!

We made it safe to our massage place and had a wonderful massage.

A 90min aroma massage cost only THB500! :)

 

 

 

Let It Go

It's a long time since I ever chased a serial on TV. And this time, I finally watched a full serial that caught my interest - Let It Go. This is on Channel U, recently ended, so you can catch it on Catch Up TV. A short 13 episodes only. Why I was interested in watching is because of .. ELVIN NG!
hehe.. He's my favourite boyfriend on TV. HANDSOME TO THE MAX. *fanmode on*

Besides the incentive of looking at the handsome guy, the story plot is interesting as well. And, somehow, it makes me reflect of my love relationship.

I remember when I was at my worst chapter in my life 4 years ago, it was really horrible.
The pain left a scar and was mentally tormenting. For me, my way of recovering was shutting up myself to the extent I could not bear it anymore and just break down.
I have a habit of crying at night cause no one will see me.
The longest, and hardest let it go... was probably this.

My friends around me knew, and of course, consoled me and shared my sorrow.
Working was terrible, and I kept making mistakes, and staring into blank spaces. When they found something amiss from my actions, people started asking.
I particularly remembered though, my good buddy, who at that time left Abbott already, texted me when I was still doing OT to ask me what happen.
When I spilled the beans, I guess the conversation crafted a bad scenario as if I was going to end my life (probably that time maybe), and he sent someone else who was still in Abbott to watch out for me.

And that someone else became my boxing bag since then. Because he has nothing to do, single, he followed me for sad walks, kept bringing me back to reality when I stone. I would look through photos and weep. He was a trustworthy friend because he never gossips nor spill beans. He never ask any questions but just sat quietly there or talk other random stuff. I was really thankful.

Slowly, I got back my normal life and tried to move on with the pain still buried inside me.
One day, when he confessed to me, I stop short and went away. I didn't know what to react and realised I wasn't done "letting it go". And I didn't want to hurt him.

I thought I had "let it go" but it was just being buried. I didn't erased all that left memories. And I remember he said to me something like that... I can always be trap in my own memories, but he has moved on happily, while you are still sad. Is this something I want.

I then found my own way of letting it go, and the only barrier is myself.
I deleted all photo memories, took new course, and did a solo trip and meet new friends. I want to have back my independence that I used to have. Motivational books definitely helped me in my negativity.

They say time will heal everything. I say, maybe not. Healing depends on yourself, how fast you can fight yourself and win that emotional race. And I believe in letting it go before holding someone else's hands. Never bring down other people when you are still not letting go.

And now, I'm thankful for all that I have even though it is a tough journey.  

Full of Meh-Meh celebrations

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!

How's your new year so far?

Mine was boring... but as usual boring lah.

Probably the only difference this year was accompanying my mum to guan yin temple at bugis. Could feel the atmosphere of new year.

 

February new year is always a hectic one. cause there's many celebration like our dear yuez bday who falls on one of the cny days. So have to plan for another day to celebrate in advance.

Went to hai di lao!!!

As usual, OVERATE! The soup was superb that I kept drinking it. hehe.

 

 

The waitress stopped us from ordering so much the first time round .. but end up, we ordered again 2nd time after our food was running low. haha. How glutton we are.

 

Went for a walk down to PS due to overeating... and ended up at Starbucks (our usual hangout)...

But somehow I kinda prefer hanging out at starbucks/ any other chill out places cause it's the time where we can chit chat anything under the moon. Auntie mood on.

 

 

On Valentine's Day, it was my family reunion and GGH wasn' feeling well too so we didn't go out.

He came over to deliver hamper to my dad then go orchard area to shop for my dad new year shirt.

Walked down Paragon Soup Restaurant for reunion dinner.

Ever since my brothers are married, we opted for early reunion cause they have to shuffle to in laws place for dinner as well.

Too much food that we couldn't finish lots of dishes!

 

 

 

Shortly after, GGH and I walked down the street of orchard before heading home.

 

My valentine present. Made by himself. :):):)

 

Because he thinks my chou chou is too dirty. hahaha... and smelly (but its not!)

So he made this himself.

 

Love the effort he put in. A child like picture ... chou chou can be for adults ok?! why only children can have chou chou?!

 

 

And my Line Camera plushies! I bought one Cony in the collection and decided not to get all cause too ex... This is much bigger that the rest of the collection.

 

And my TonyMoly facial mask! My only favourite right now!

 

To my unsweet boring bf, thank you for trying your best to be sweet, and putting effort in what I love and trying out my hobby. :)
