Melacca Trip@ A famosa 7-8/10/09

This was the trip i initiated back then in the semester break. So got itchified, went on planning a trip since ive not gone any trips with Uni buds. Plan here and there, finally decided on Melacca!
A Famosa was the destination to be precise. Since i was working, most of the accomodations made by HsinI. Hehe...

1st Day

1st, we went to fetch YeeHoo and met up with Steve, Gerald n Marcus. From there, we head off to Seremban for brunch. Since check-in time was 3Pm, so we went into A Famosa Safari. Didnt change much since the last time ive been there back 4 years ago. After a full day in the Safari, checked in, we chilled around. Some were watching TV, some played heart-attack. As a noobie, of course i lose most of the time but it was nice.






Later at night, we drove over to Melacca for makan. Recommended by Steve, we tried out the lok-lok stall in town. Its a different concept from K.Lumpur's loklok. Usually we see lok-lok stalls using vans but this is in a shop. Hmmm, maybe ill be the next entrepreneur to have it set foot in K.L?=P

After Dinner, we drop by in Stadhuys for photographs. HuiCi said the lightnings there at night would be fabulous. Initially, had a hard time rounding in Melacca as it was kinda dark and many shoplots were closed. "bagaikan deathtown"



The night was stillll early, soooo we simply wander around. Landed up near Menara Taming Sari, sadly it was closed. =( But it didnt stop us, we saw shimmering lights!=D Nearby was some historical stuff placed there for tourist to sightsee. It was dark but it didnt stop us. haha! We still managed to take a number of shots with airplanes, train and not to forget the cannon.

2nd day

We had our breakfast early morning at 9am. Later, we tried out the paintball in A Famosa. This was the best part in the whole trip ill say besides the pool fight.

As for checkout, this is the most iritating part. == We requested for extension for checkout time. Agreed and we had fun in the pool. Not realising, what was told by the receptionist was totally different from what was mentioned when we went to collect of deposit. He told me that to extend we'll need to pay FROM RMXXX to RMXXX. An decent extra amount to spend some time in the bungalow. Instead we were asked to pay for a day and a half's amount. We got sucked in, when asked to speak to the manager on duty, the manager told us, its written in the agreement. No toleration for any explanation we gave. Ah well..it was partly my fault and its over now, guess this should be a very good lesson for me.

At noon, we went into Melacca town for food. Ate its famous chicken rice ball. AS u can see, the shop is heavily invested with paintings, sculptures and those china royalties stuff. And that was our trip, waiting for the next to come=) "hints HuiCi/HsinI"

Just a thought

3 days of fun and relaxation, im back to KL. Anyone missed me? I went Pangkor with family few days ago. This trip is more of a family get-together, spending precious moments with each other. I see many of my good buddies all heading overseas and im sure everyone of them miss home...no..not home, its our parents if u realise. Time is limited for me with them, 2 years down the road, im heading off as well and i definitely want to maximize the time spent with them.

While i was on my way to my destination, i thought about alot of things. Life. Money. Career. Studies. Business ideas. Relationships. Basically everything there is a normal person should consider. I always have this motto taught to me by my former boss back then when i was a salesperson. Some people who r close to me knows that sometimes i place this as my visible note on my hp That is...

H.A.G.A
which means
Have a great attitude

This is to remind myself. However, these few months i have been going after things which i cant control but yet i thought by giving my 110% i will achieve things. I was wrong. Relationships i believe is one good example. Everything has its steps. And i think my recent attitude has been really screwed up since i lost focus. Guess the Pangkor trip woke the hell out of me. So whatever matters that i think i can do it, ill make sure ill go all out for it. Smiling away bad aura i must!=D

As for matters which i cant control, i guess i should let destiny to work its way. Afterall, things like opportunity and luck is all fated. At least, u know u have tried your very best. Yeah, i do thank god Pangkor trip sorta gave me a break from heart aches. Haih, I have not been getting quality sleep, kept worrying the unnecessary stuff. So, I gotta get out from the hole, will u help me?=)

Penang/taiping trip

12.6.09-13.6.09

Its been awhile since ive long gone holidays with family. All of us were busy with life. Since my sis had a week or two of holidays and my fridays are free, dad took leave to go a local trip. This time the main purpose is to go Taiping Night Safari. Have not been to one. =)

Early morning, i drove Mum's Myvi to outstation. As u all know, Myvi is a auto car and i "specialise" on manual cars, so i took time to adjust myself. I admit i cant drive auto cars and i dare not touch friend's car. Initially parents did not allow, but i manage to pester them. I drove to Bidor. Its a 1 hr 15 minutes drive i think? Had breakfast there, people oh people, u should try the roast pork in the market. The taste is muchhhh better, personally Kl or even Penang cant compare. X)

Then, Mum took over to drive. Drove all the way to Penang for lunch. Hmm, thats where i got all my weight sky high. All the jogging and bodytrainin gone to waste. =( Ahhh well, life is to be enjoyed right? After lunch, we head on to Taiping to check-in for hotel reservations.

At night, we went to the Night Safari. I thought economy was bad enough and people who not bother spending money on leisure but the place was packed. The animals there not bad, i think its animals is well fed compared to Zoo Negara.

The next day, we head home. Before heading home, we stopped by in Bukit Larut. Its a really cool place for camping, fishing and outdoor stuff. Any1 interested to join me on a wild adventure? Well, this trip is more of spending time with family. To people out there, family is the only people u cherish when your happy and people who cares most for u when you are down. Trust me=)

I end my blog posts with a short video i took in Bkt Larut. Guess what it is?X)
