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.

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~

Singapore Trip Part 2

-All day long at Universal Studio Singapore-

Route to USS:-

We took train to dhobby ghaut (circle line) then change to harbour front (north east line). You have reach Vivo City Mall! Naik atas level yang paling tinggi dekat situ ade jual ticket for Sentosa Park. If you nak pergi USS saje beli ticket for naik train only. Sebab counter yang kat luar tuh jual ticket for sentosa island not USS. Ticket train can be used to go back to Vivo City Mall.

**There is also a bus you can took straight to Resort World Sentosa. Ticket around RM5**

We took train and stop at Waterfront station.





Sampai situ, my sis nak survey shinhwa concert hall. So lepak kejap baru masuk USS. Ticket cost is sgd74 per person. It is very peak season. So kalo bukan peak season lagi murah. Jangan lupa take the studio guide. Kepada SMOKER, if you wanna smoke there is certain place for you to smoke. So check the guide for checkpoint.

First was the Hollywood theme. Banyak la mascot mascot kat tepi. We took a few pictures with them. Reminder ** U need to line up. no need to pay. Ada staff yang jaga the mascot you can ask them untuk amek gamba for you.**

Ride or Attraction that I entered:-

Monster Rock - theatre: Best! I keep on looking at the main actor sebab handsome sungguh!! ouh mata biru...

Battke Star Cylon & Human: I tak sempat nak naik sbb we hesitate in case we tak muat the seats. So we tak pergi lah.

Revenge of Mummy: best giler! full of surprise. Backwards fall forward fall.. gosh I naik 3 kali ok. It's like in cave roller coaster. Tapi jalan nak ke queue line punya lah jauh.

Lunch: Jurasic Park Food Court. Cheap gak. I pay sgd15 for nasi ayam and large drink. I ate some of the food kat vendor and even taste turkey!

Rapids Adventure: seriously different dengan sunway lagoon. Siap ada naik lift dlm gelap okay!

Canopy flyer: macam you duduk atas kerusi but it is a roller coaster. At first, hesitate gak takot tak muat. then, staff cakap if we tak muat they will give express ticket so boleh masuk mana mana ride express. Kiteorg decide nak pergi transformance. Line transformance bapak panjang. sampai 70 minutes nak kena tunggu. Sekali, muat plak seat tuh. Kalo tak baru i nak cakap Universal studio ni cater for orang badan kecik jek.hahaha.. i seat facing backward so i duuno what is going on in front. mase naik rail tuh.. i can see how high we went bila i tengok orang kat bawah sekali bila start jek serious best!

Shrek 4D Adventure:- BEST, AWESOME. try it!

Enchanter Airways: another roller coaster...

In Madagascar tak da benda sangat. So we went to transformance and line up.

Transformance: AWESOME...대박 no other words i can say. Nak naik sekali lagi beratur punyalah panjang so tak ape laa..

Lights, Camera Action: Mesti check out!

Around 9pm barulah kiteorg kuar from USS and pergi to the hall. Change our clothes. We all dah lunyai! totally worn out. Tak makan dinner pun.

Balik we took bus from Resort World Sentosa and straight to JB.









TIRED & GREAT!

Our last day at JB, we sleep a lot. Around 3pm, we went for lunch at Seoul Garden. FULL!

Wanna go to Singapore. May next year after Korea Trip.

Singapore Trip Part 1

15.06.2012, Friday 7.25am - Flight AK5270 take off from LCCT. Half an hour later, we reached Senai International Airport, Johor.

Took cab to J.A Residence Hotel where we stayed! Taxi cost arouond Rm50. Checked in and SLEEP! **so lack of sleep**

11am, we took a cab and off to Larkin bus station. Larkin bus station ni macam puduraya so banyak bus ada. Bus nak ke Singapore ade banyak tapi disebabkan hari pertama, tak sempat nak explore. We took bus no 170 cost RM2.20 per head. (Singapore to JB = SGD2.20)

*Tips*
- J.A Residence Hotel is near to City Square, Police Station and JB Central. Sepatutnya, take a cab and straight to JB Central. (Cheaper and nearer)
- OR you can walk to JB Central tapi penat la.
- Take CAUSEWAY LINK bus to Singapore. Cost = RM1.40 per head. From Singapore to JB also same except they use SGD (Singapore Dollar)

map to J.A. RESIDENCE HOTEL






Surround JA Residence Hotel:-

Hungry? Bored? At night, opposite hotel ada bazaar or something like uptown. I think every night memang ada. So u can just walk around and check out not only food but also clothes and stuff.
Nearest mall to the hotel is JB City Square. Just walk straight up around 5 mins u reach there.

Okay, now i will tell u how is the process of imigresen/kastam if u go by bus:-

the bus will stop at JB imigresen/kastam so bila turun u have to bring your belongings along. Prepare your passport with you then done straight go to the bus stop and take the same bus no that you ride. No need to pay just show the same ticket that you bought earlier. U will see that everyone is running and rushing. Because the bus does not wait for everybody. Either u walk fast or wait for the next bus.
Second stop is the Singapore imigresen/kastam. Same thing as the first one but here you need to fill in a form. I forget to take the picture of the form but once u enter the building you can see on your right side corner everybody is writing something on the counter.
**(tips: take a few with you if the next day you are going to singapore again).**
Done, take the same bus again until you reach the station or place that you are going.

For me, I stop at Kranji MRT station. From there, we went to dhobby ghaut and meet my friend there. We meet for the first time anyway. Thank god I didn't feel awkward. There we visit Plaza Singapura coz my sis nak redeem ticket shinhwa. p/s: shopping in this mall not bad either.
I bought a handbag red color with white polkadots. It cost around sgd18. If at pyramid arouond RM40 ro RM50. The stuff pun lagi best..hahahaha

Next stop mrt Farrer park, nak pergi Mustafa Centre & Seragoon Plaza.
But before that we ate lunch. We ate Indian Food! Sedap gak ar.. memang kenyang cause after that we all tak makan anything sepanjang da whole day kt singapore.








Mustafa Centre and Seragoon Plaza it is a SHOPPING PARADISE. All those junk foods MURAH!! I usually by those sour stick or scribble and it cost around rm6 but kat singapore i bought it for sgd1.20. My sis plak giler baking so when we saw all those almonds and pistachio sgd7 for the big bag dia jadi giler. We jadi macam orang yang tak pernah tengok barang.

Singapore flyer 출발~~  Tapi I tak ride it. 40 mins to complete one whole round! 됐어. Lepak jap minum dessert.. AIS KEPAL, BIRD NEST & LAI CHEE KANG!. Environment die seperti zaman zaman dahulu.. syok gak.. Then straight to Marina Bay Sand located a few meters away. You can just walk. Mall sungguh cantik and luas. Architecture mmg cantik! tempat nie ala ala Pavillion & KLCC. I love the tea party section yg located in the middle of the mall. Bila lalu jek the smell of the tea memang sedap.. ^_^ We also bought MACAROONS with few tea flavored nice gak!









Lastly, we went to bugis street but not even halfway we were tired and out of energy. decided to go back JB. I thinnk we walked to fast. It's supposed to be leisure. hahaha.. plus, we didn't have enough sleep the day before.

Continue Part 2 on USS trip..
