Short Vacation

My last vacation was in April and 6 months later I got another short trip. Even though it was short, it was fun. My mom ex-office mate invited my mom to join their department Family Day.

31st October, Saturday

We were been told that to prepare a meal for potluck. I decided to cooked Fried Macaroni. Knowing that most of people will bring Nasi Lemak, Fried Noodles and same old normal brunch. Then mom thought of preparing Bibimbap too. We woke up quite early than usual to prepare all those ingredient.
Arrived at the designation place around 11am and straight serving the food. I prepared the bibimbap too and what a surprise when they all like it. I heard some said "By eating this feels like in Korea"..  hahaha it's not to that par yet. After eating and sun tanning, we went to the hotel and check in.

Stayed at Grand Lexus baby~!! Executive Villa Pool located at the garden wing.

Executive Villa Pool has 2 queen size bed and SWIMMING POOL! We got that room for RM550. I'm not so sure what is the real price because that is the price the organizer told us. What I like about the room is the space. It also equip a small kitchenette such as microwave, minibar and kettle.
I have this habit whenever I check in a hotel that is checking out every inch of every room whether the housekeeper clean it thoroughly and test every switch to see if it is functioning. But before all that, I must check out their toilet. I find toilet is the most important place for me. I love sitting in the toilet for hours.

Dinner time!! It was raining heavily in Port Dickson. We have to drove all the way to Teluk Kemang area. I don't really intend to promote the restaurant because I felt like I can find a better restaurant. We went there for our dinner but it doesn't satisfied my palate. So I drop by next door mini mart and bought cheese. Bad luck followed me I guess as I opened the cheese it was 110% spoil. What a night for a RM12 cheese!! Decided to take a swim before I go to bed.

Tom Yam Soup, Kailan Ikan Masin, Telur Dada, Ikan Bakar

Breakfast and checked out!. Our breakfast coupon only for five people but we have seven. We left my younger brother and eldest sister in the room. My younger brother didn't know about it and just walk in to the buffet section. Since our buffet area located and second floor, he just followed people upstairs. We were like whispering and talking silently. "ME: aah what the heck just eat as long as nobody ask". I reached home late in the evening and I got frantic when I realize that I left my pen drive on the tv. How the hell did I forgot!! Anyway, I called and it was found. I don't know if I have the time and money to go back there to collect. They can't mail it to me. **Oh what a service**

07.11.2015, Saturday - went to Melaka for Hawa's graduation. Arrived UITM Lendu at 10.30am and waited for Hawa to collect her rope and fill in forms.  Then straight to lunch. One thing I love being in Lendu is the cheap food price. Price for an average mix rice is RM7 include drink. Next we checked in Hotel Rembia. They bought new shop house nearby the area so our room is new!

During our stay in Melaka, we didn't really go anyway special. Sunday = Convo Day!
Congrats lil sis!!!

Till next story!! TTFN tata for now~

VACATION, FESTIVE & LOVE

It's September already!! Wow more than half years has pass and there's not much to tell. Been to some places, solve some problem and mostly got a new lover (hehehe)

I will start off with my Singapore trips with BFF Anna, Sisters Nana & Jaja. My BFF and I never go for any vacation trip together so I beg her this time please save up some money and join me to Singapore. It was me who handle the budgeting and the rsvp. So I tried my best to cut down the unnecessary budget. Went to JB by car and stayed at JB too.

My budget calculation:-

4 days & 3 nights.
Petrol & Tolls = RM100 per pax
Room (3 nights per pax) = RM200
JB to USS - RM7 / USS to JB - $7
USS ticket - $74
Hire driver to Mustafa Mall $80 (for a car one way)

I drove from KL to JB for 4 hours and once we got checked in, the room was dusty and air cond was hot. Turn out there was no guest at that floor. So they need time to start the electricity and on the whatever needed switch. We've been staying at JA Residence before but never know that the maintenance was off. Put that petty problem aside the room has a nice view. The bonus point is that the location of the hotel is near to JB Central & JB Times Square. Means food hunting and transportation is NO PROBLEM.

The first day we did nothing much except for walking to JBTS to ate and watched movie "Pilot Cafe". Unfortunately the movie was not as hot as the novel.

2nd Day - Woke up super early and ate breakfast. We went out from the hotel around 7.30 pm and walk to JB Central as it's located behind our hotel. Took RWS (Resort World Sentosa) bus straight to USS for RM7 but well we had to make a stop at the immigration. Once arrived, we queue up (for quite some time) for tickets and we're in. It was epic until the queue time for ride went up for hours. The last ride we took was Mummy Return roller coaster and went for a meal. I thought only rides had to queue up for long but the food court too. It was so pack and queuing to order really took my energy away. We decide to head back to JB after the lunch. We were flat out and that's the end on that day. Tired of waiting to ride, tired of waiting for food and even tired just to smoke.

Most of the time we fill our happiness with taking pictures and selfie or shall I say wefie.

[I took this picture like more than 10 times hahahha]














3rd day our goal become one that is to shop!! Shop till you drop dead. Well this is so true. We decided to hired driver to Mustafa Mall and it only cost $80. No going in and out immigration like the previous day. Only seat in the car for about 1 hour (more or less). Seriously, I love this mall so much. Providing a lots of thing at a better price. Mustafa Mall has two side and guess what we run around those two building looking for Vitamin Water. We bought 3 cartons. This is the first time I felt so tired after shopping for 5 hours.

Once we reached hotel, everybody were jumping out of joy and started to check back the shopping items. Room was a mess and since it was dinner time we decided to check out Bazaar Karat oposite the hotel. It was nothing much so we wonder around and bought some snacks.

Durian crepe for RM10

4th day - CHECK OUT DAY. Got back with happy and tired!

16th May 2015, Mom turned 60 this year. Decided to celebrate at Crocodile Farm. We have been visited this place since I was little. What I love about this place is that the food is delicious and the service is friendly. If you peeps wonder where is this place. It's called Crocodile Farm Village and located at Lake View next to Holiday Villa Subang.

                                         SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI - 18.07.2015

Raya this year was not so family as my little brother & sisters have to stay home. But on the bright side, we did have fun and feel this year was much more better raya than last year. Went back Raub on the first day of raya. First stop at Simpang Kallang. We ate our lunch here and had some chat with Pak Long & Pak Ndak's family. It was not awkward like before. I can say they move forward too. Next we drop by Dong and went to Ajai. Our original plan was to stay at Akicu's house but spending time in Ajai was so fun we end up sleep in for one day. Got to ate sambal petai, ikan perkasam, durian and Nasi Lemak Mak Long (the best). The next day we went beraya and slept at Akicu's house.

Pak Ngah was sleeping

Earlier I mention about lovers right? Well it has been 2 months since my new babies came. It's my pet kittens. First baby was received a few days before puasa. She was brought to the office by my officemate. She said she came across the kitten while went out for inspection and saw the kitten was left alone nearby her car. She picked up and brought in. I end up bring her home and start the kitten supply shopping again. So the restless night and lacking of sleep starts again. I named her Agi which in korean means baby in english.

1st Day

2 Months later

During Iftar at Crocodile Farm, the owner gave us another kitten. She was so adorable and cute. A little bit bigger than Agi. I named her Dahaeng which means Fortunate/Lucky. 

Dahaeng's first day

 

 

They are my new lovers now and till the next post. Love ya peeps~

My Favorite Korean Sad Songs

My first post in 2015!!!! I've been searching more on korean ballad sad songs then I thought why don't I post one (again). Most of the songs that people recommend are from idol or not totally sad devastated feeling song. So I would like to share mine as I've updated the old ones. (View Previous Post)

Sometimes I think I have insomnia. I find it hard to fall asleep. I listen to ballad song and imagine the scene in my head and tears start to form. Yes, I cried to sleep.

Most people know Im Jae Bum's For You song (너를 위해) but  I prefer Where Are You (그대는 어디에). The lyrics is about a guy who is looking for his lover.

A line that I like in the lyric:-

"돌아올 그대 모습 그려 보는것 만으로 너무나도 행복해진 나는 자꾸 눈물이 나는지"
Just by picturing you come back makes me feel too happy till tears falling down

So Hyang sang her version in I Am A Singer and totally gave me goosebump. (So Hyang video has eng sub)

People thought that korean song only has 1 genre that is pop (K-Pop). They're wrong. Kim Kyungho is one of the famous rocker in South Korea. I recommend listen to 나를 슬프게하는 사람들 (People Who Make Me Sad). The song is about a guy who fall in love with his friend which a girl. You know girls always has this one guy as her best friend. She kept his picture in her wallet, she ran to him if anything happened and a voice who she recognize easily but she still end up with another guy.

A verse that I like in the lyric:-

"언젠가 그가 너를 맘 아프게 해 너 혼자 울고 있는 걸 봤어, 달려 가 그에게 나 이 말 해줬으면 그대가 울리는 그 한 여자가 내겐 삶의 전부라고"

One time I saw you crying because of him. I want to run to him and say this that the girl you just hurt is my everything

Hong Kyungmin perform his rendition of the song in Immortal Songs 2. (video with eng sub)

If you're not a korean that you must know Miss You (보고 싶다) by Kim Beomsoo. Most of the international korean song fans know Kim Beomsoo for his song Miss You. Let me introduce you his debut song A Day (하루). It top the chart as soon as it release. This song really makes me burst into tears not to mention the mv too. This song is about the painful that love gives.

A verse that I like in the lyric:-

"사랑이 날 또 아프게 해요. 사랑이 날 또 울게 하네요. 그렇게 사랑했던 추억마저 잊어달라며 사랑은 잔인하게 떠나가네요"

Love is hurting me again. Love is making me cry again. Asking me to forget even our memories of love, Love is mercilessly leaving me.



Next one is Lee Sora's Please. It's not the Lee Sora supermodel but the singer. If you're Immortal Songs program fans that you will know Yoon Minsoo and Shin Yongjae's performance. I like Please way before that. I first found out from Boa & Bohyung Spica version. So I searched for the original and found Lee Sora. Lee Seunggi did remake and release it too. From what I know Lee Sora cried for her live performance in some show ( I can't remember). She cried at the start of the song so they have to re-shoot it again and again. At that time, she just broke up. So I can feel the overwhelmed from the song. The song is about the girl who keep on asking her ex-lover to come back.

A verse that makes me cry in the lyric:-



어떻게든 다시 돌아오길 부탁해. 처음으로 다시 돌아가길 바랄게.
I'm asking you to come back somehow. I'm begging for everything to go back to the way it first was
기다릴게 너를 하지만  너무 늦어지면은 안돼
I will wait for you but I can't if its too late
멀어지지마 더 가까이 제발
Don't distance yourself, come closer... please

Lee Seunggi -  Please (eng sub)


 Spica (Boa & Bohyung) - Please

Yoon Minsoo & Shin Yongjae - Please (Immortal Songs 2)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPGRMUI0g8U
Have you heard of Shin Seung Hoon? He is one of the top ballad singer. His song called Invisible Love really caught my ears. The lyrics is so poetry I say. Invisible love is about love which you don't really see with your eyes but feel with your heart also a one sided love. LED Apple did their rendition in Immortal Songs.

A verse in the lyric:-

어제는 사랑을 오늘은 이별을.  미소짓는 얼굴로 울고 있었지
Yesterday love is today goodbye.  You are crying with your smiling face
하지만 나 이렇게 슬프게 우는건 내일이면 찾아올 그리움 때문일꺼야      
But the reason I cry so sadly is because longing will find me tomorrow



Lastly is my mama bird Shin Hyesung & Lyn - After Love. I don't want to be so bias so I'm not gonna say anything bout it. The song is about letting your love go and don't regret.



Actually I have loads of sad ballad song to share but for now the above song you guys must listen. If you want more, you can just PM me. You can search for me in Twitter or Facebook
