FRIM-Sekinchan-KL trip (part one)

Our trip started on the 27th-30th July , it was the 2nd time i went on vacation with Dan, this time with his coursemates :D
Seeing that they are all environmentalist, our trip is surrounded with nature which is something extraordinary from what i normally will go. It was an experience worth gaining!

Me and Dan took the flight from Alor Star to KLIA in the early wee morning

Wore this comfy outfit there, my lazy pants is actually my mum's ! Haha 

THE IRRESPONSIBLE VAN COMPANY
and then we waited for the IRRESPONSIBLE van driver to reach KLIA2
i wish i can disclosed this company name out, their service damn bullshit~
we told him to meet us at 10am and you know how long did we waited there? 1 hr and 30 mins. 
How do you actually do business when you are late for 1 hr and 30mins plus!?
and the best thing is he kept LYING

"2 mins i be there!"
"I'm just around the corner!"
"i U-Turn i reach ady!"

all those crap, and didn't even apologize when he meet us. 
best thing is he took two times of our deposit , wtf!? we just realized that after we drove off =.=  (We manage to claim back half of the deposit but poor Bok's coursemate didnt get hers until now , grrr )
and after sending the van back at the end of the day

that STUPID guy acted like the van has scratches and all that (i already expect he would do that, but then my fault, i didnt video tape or shoot all the van's corner at the beginning to avoid all this stupid accusation he would throw to us later)
i rolled my eyes ~
it's a good thing we didn't ask for discounts for his "punctuality" 
15 of us in the van and all of us knew there was no mishaps while driving the van
This guy is clearly trying to find fault at us, but he didn't count with us because obviously if he dare, there will be 13 angry girls bitching back at him

okay enough of all this misery ~ haha if you guys wish to know which company or scare in the future you will meet this company, do ask me personally through private mediums like FB or email . haha

FRIM

I just realized FRIM was the place my aunt showed me and Dan the other day about a leisure place where people go to exercise or even picnic ! haha

too bad the canopy walk was under maintenance that day 

we had a really great time on the bikes ~

do watch out for the hills because cycling can be such a bore on that hahahah

but there was this one long stretch of slope where i practically slide down with the bike like a boss

damn, that feel and taste of freedom when the wind hit my face~ hahaha

Bicycle rental ranges from Rm8-Rm10

Last cycling hour : 7pm 

thanks Ying Juin for the pic :DD

another attraction is the waterfall~ (Dan's favorite)
but because i was taught since small never to go into a waterfall and heard many scary stories like you may get disease from Rats' urine through the water that seep into your wounds or cuts of your body (urgh~)
so i didn't do much there, obviously i wish i can adjust my mindset abit but  i just managed to touch the water with my bare hands~ haha
everyone was dipping their feets into the water and playing around :D

We proceed to Sekinchan in another 1 hr 30 mins journey there
total hour spent from KLIA to KL Sentral to Kepong and to Sekinchan was around 4 hrs
wooo our butts~

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IVY HOMESTAY, SEKINCHAN

We may not make the right choice for the transport but we did the RIGHT choice for the homestay!
THIS IS WORTH THE MONEY!
plus it's really very near to Sekinchan town area (it's already IN the town area =.= lol)

Following pictures does not own by me but www.sekinchan.org

The outside of our homestay, look small but cosy :D
our 15 seater van can even fit inside! haha

the living room :D the sofa can incline forming a bed for two people to sleep :D

The girls are like snatching to sleep in this room! haha it's so cosy!! seriously very cosy and the dim light at night is more romantic than some candlelight dinner at some exp restaurants. 

the cosy kitchen :D
it does feel like home here ;)

the toilet,
there are two toilets in this house, i admit it is abit small 

the master bedroom 
five of us sleep in here haha

The dining area~

third bedroom , not many people can fit into this :3 i think max only 4 people

Outside (:

This is IVY Homestay 
and the uncle was VERRRRY PUNCTUAL to meet us to give us the key~

SEKINCHAN (PADDY GALLERY)

We went to this Paddy Gallery . At first i thought it will be another paddy musuem just like in Alor Star, but this was not! haha they even make us sit through a talk on how the paddy is harvested every year. 
Plus it's also commercialized, as soon as the talk is over people just rush down and go buy their own manufactured rice and some other rice products like soap and crackers. 
but they do have some little exhibition before you actually head over to spent your money 

Cute !! snapseed makes wonder! i like this pic very much hehe

credits to Khe Sin for all the pics, 

Entrance Fee for this gallery is rm5 each (they will give you a free mini rice bag)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEKINCHAN (AH MA HOUSE)

I wish i had more photos on this but apparently, there's nothing much to see here? haha it's highly commercialized here =.=
taking photos with antique cars required a fee around rm8 
although there is one particular sweet shop that attracted me because they sold childhood sweets that cannot be found outside anymore. 
one of us bought a bubble blower thingy (the gum thingy?) 

Outside was scorching hot! haha and they have hay there too . 

and ahma house had a very nice ootd wall too haha 

This place is just on the way to Paddy Gallery so yes, you might as well just drop by and see what you can do over here although i find it quite similar to the place back at my grandma place around Kaki Bukit, Perlis. 

(part two will be up soon)

My Valentine's Day trip

Hi, how y'all doing? hehe

how did you all celebrate Valentine's Day? i know it's been a long ago story but i think i HAVE (let me emphasize the word) to blog about it to keep the memories fresh

(all my old post had a bug so all my old pics are gone ...cryyyy)

Well, this is our Me and Dan, my boyfie for what seems to be forever. haha

at first everything was well plan, we decided to go down to KL with my sister so that she can meet up with her husband too . 

we had already booked the flight ticket but then Dan told me he couldnt make it 

T_______________________T

welll, he try to make it happen in the end and arrive just in time for the dinner

(well, better than he didnt turn up anyway)

okay, so i must be grateful, let's skip all the sad part and jump into the bandwagon, shall we?

So we went to Hubba Hubba at Sentral for our Valentine's dinner. 

It's a seven course japanese dinner. 

at first i saw the Facebook page and i was like 

oh it's just like an ordinary cafe look-alike that happen to be in KL blah blah

i ate my words back when i see how beautiful and GRAND this restaurant is . 

did i mention we were suppose to be sitting outside enjoying candlelight dinner seeing the view from above 

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

but then it started raining..so yeah , boo hoo to great view outside
but inside is alot cooler and quite comfortable, plus the boys get to watch their movie again . haha

Credits to Hubba at Sentral for the pics

really nice right? the ambience and all (:
wait till you see what it looks like at night

Beautiful :D

So the sister made a collage for the night

that's her friend with her date(not in picture)

The evening started well, with alot of photo taking, the boys are engrossed with the movie they played out at the screen

i wish i can upload all the food pictures here but dang

i really hate iphone

Me and Dan (: 
haha if you look closer, that shirt he is wearing has ANT prints on it. It's like he is wearing me because my name is Ann, and everybody has been calling me names lie "Ant" or "semut"

This is my vegetarian sister with her vegetarian pizza. HAHAHAHA it's bigger than her face. 
well she thought she wasn't able to eat most of the seven course dinner but it turn out there were a few that she can eat too, so in the end everybody had a fair share with this pizza haha. 

The food was great but there were a few i couldnt eat like Beef and green tea pudding, i wish i can change that but it turn out it can be exchange for another but it's quite too late for me to change because i did try a little bit of the side ingredients. T_T there goes my main course~~

(following food pictures are from Hubba at Sentral fb page)
am sorry i don't know what the dishes are called. 

first course~
it taste pretty good, infact it open my appetite to eat more later on haha

This was my favorite of all, well i can eat pretty much everything from it. anyway see that stick there? it can be eaten too! :D

well this is beef
T_T i am very sad i cannot enjoy their main course because of religion, i do not eat beef
but this man (below)

yea, my sister's husband ate three of our main course
look how happy he is when he get to eat 3 of the dishes

This was pretty good too! i'm quite happy seeing this after i couldnt enjoy their main course for the night

this seem to be garlic fried rice? haha but by the time we were so full i ate around it picking at my food. 
the tempura taste good though
and well this is MY photo btw. 

and the last course is the green tea pudding (it somewhat looks like pudding) didn't have picture here but i couldn't taste it seeing that caffeine encourages panic attack. 

our group picture of the night at Hubba Hubba
it was pretty dark actually , but my sister's camera work wonders. 

See the beautiful view from Hubba Hubba
it's not that tall but you can see pretty much everything here :D
i am sooo glad to experience this dining 
seeing that i came all the way from Kedah or even if i'm studying at Penang, 
i dont think i can find anywhere like here. 

well thank you to my sister and her friend for bringing us there. 
Happy Valentine's day to Dan too for flying all the way here even if you have to burn the previous ticket. 
It'll be another milestone we had reach 
and yea, it's only our 2nd Valentine's Day together (by right it should be 3rd but we didn't get to celebrate the first one together)
it has been a pleasure meeting you
okay, well i used to write like reallly really long post dedicated just for him
but seeing that i have already been with Dan for almost 3 years now, there are so many words that are already spoken WAAHAHHA
i'm so sorry if i cannot express it in words anymore
but you know my heart does, Dan!
i really do appreciate everything you did for me
thinking that there are sooo many other stuff to turn your back on me but you chose not to
i am still wondering what make you love me
but i have tons of reason why i still love you
wahahaha
okay
abit geli now that i write it out
cheers guys!

xoxo

My sister's ROM

tadaa! the most awaited post is here!

my sister's ROM ceremony in Rochester Road, Singapore

first time i witnessed such a grand ceremony for just a ROM, but then this is Singapore style, 

in Malaysia, couples just go to temples or Jabatan to sign and thats all, no banquet, no food, no entertainment, i mean all these they leave it for the ACTUAL wedding dinner, 

so this is of course, very new to me. 

seriously, i keep procrastinate here and there and i sometime wonder where did my passion for blogging go

the sickness had snatched away my drive to blog because everytime i spend just a mere 30 mins infront of the computer, i'll be lightheaded again and thought i'm going to faint. 

this post took me three freaking days to finished haha

the reception table

full of bloody wonderful chocolates, i so wish i can eat!

tadaaa

okay, before we get to the place, we spotted our main star of the day taking photos with the professional photographer 

and my sister even brought her toy Ernie because , well it supposed to symbolize her , i guess, cuz it bears the same name as her.

the lover's bridge full of heart shape balloon where everybody was so excited to take pictures with it. 

the pastor getting ready for the vows and certs

don't get me wrong, i'm no christian, 

but this is so 'ang moh' style i wish back here i can do the same for my future wedding where we read each other's vows and exchange rings and a kiss . 

so awesome lah, but i don't think in Malaysia you have that unless you're a Christian, you can go to church and have your vows and all that. 

and oh yeah, did i mention my DAD walked my sister in instead of the bridegroom? sorry no picture for this part ): but got video which unfortunately i am too sick to wait for it to upload

yeah! finally officially married!

family photo

after that we settled off for food

everybody was so caught up, we forgot to snap the food

the food was superb , got salad, got salmon, got seabass, got seafood filled with cheese (ergh) , got sirloin, got herb chicken , all the western food which we youngster ate and ate non stop

the beautiful bouquet 

so pretty! and yess, my sister threw the bouquet of flowers to all the single ladies out there, 

and okay, everybody blames me for taking it ): 

sorry lol

selfie with my favorite cousins (: 

seriously in love with my new sony nex5t camera which smooth-en up your face automatically , no need to go mei tu xiu xiu it lah haha

or buy casio selfie camera ady lah, this can become the substitute for it dy

anyway this ceremony ended after 4 hours i think, it's really simple yet grand (: 

my sis said maybe the actual wedding ceremony will be held next year june/july , so ya! can't wait!

and happy marriage sister!

wish you stay healthy as always and stay forever sweet wif ur hubby!

(:
