Lion land 2012

Hi hi there again.This is probably the second week of my holidays and yet,I have not completed ALL the homeworks given.and I'm here blogging (ironic much).Anyway,just wanna spend some time blogging about the recent family trip that we had to kiasu land!oops..i mean..Singapore :)

Yes this is probably the third trip I had there.

E last time was when I was in form 3 and we had this short shopping trip there.Been planning on this one about a month ago with sis before I even left for college.However,we planned to go there and 'attack' the crazy sales to get some clothes and even baby stuffs (few months away from the big day!).HOWEVER,plans changed because bro and dad agreed to follow along this time.You know..the hassle of having guys around when girls are shopping.So we switched up the plans a bit and made it into something more...family-oriented?

First day

Took Firefly flight there from Ipoh.We would actually take a bus or so but having a pregnant lady around..mmm..impossible!hahaha.Our flight was at 11.35 and we arrived at the airport at about 11 to get all the procedures done.

(P.S I will put most pictures in collages form to save space )

 

Everyone before departure!

 Ooh I sat alone during the flight.But it was okay..comfy and all.Reached Singapore land at about one o clock and bro-in-law came and picked us up.

First stop : Turtle soup for lunch!

This is probably one of the reason why bro likes to visit Singapore.As cruel as it is,the turtle soup taste reeaaallllllyyy good.Guilty pleasure :( anyway,I shall forgive myself since its not like I take this every week or something.hahaha.Dad tried this for the first time and we're glad that he liked it too! :)

Next stop,bro-in-law dropped us off at Marina Bay Sands for some sight-seeing and shopping.

Initially our hotel should be there but because it is a public holiday (Hari Raya),the hotel was fully booked and I dont get to enjoy swimming at the sky-high swimming pool :( 

What we did there was shopping and shopping.no wait...more of like WINDOW SHOPPING.The thing is..the place there is really high-end so we couldnt really get anything that is oferrr...our price.hahahah.Sis managed to get her baby stuffs though and we bought ice-cream as desserts.It is quite a nice complex,and it was pretty crowded too actually.They have a skating rink there which bro and I thought it was an ICE skating rink.

Some of the pictures I took of them.

 Macaroons,anybody?

If you ever use the MRT passage to the Gardens by the Bay,you'll get to see nice creative walls along the long passage way.of course,we took advantage to take some pictures.Bro was with the DSLR all the time and he had to keep helping sis and mum to take pictures.Literally every walls were painted with different colours and different flowers.ME..of course,camwhored with the diff walls.hehehe.

hahaha i find this funny.Sorry for the blur shot at the 4th.Seriously,I smiled the same way in every picture.LOL See how the backgrounds are of different flowers? :)

Outfit of the day!

 Then we crossed the bridge from the complex to Gardens by the Bay

 Its sort of a new place in singapore right now since it was only opened a month ago I guess?Sis and I thought it will be a suitable place for mum and dad since its all about nature and sceneries.

 Turns out,it is quite a nice place indeed!For those of you who enjoy just walking around,watching plants and good ol nature,Gardens by the bay is a must-go!

They have names for their Gardens like Indian garden,Chinese garden and Malay Garden.Sis and I were talking about how racist they made nature look.LOL.As you walk in,each garden has its own uniqueness according to the name/race that was given.For example,they have lotus in the chinese garden.They even have Indian patterns on boards of the Indian garden.It really gives you the feeling that you're in some cultural garden.hahah.On the day that we went,the place was packed i tell you,sandwich packed! But then again,as I said..its probably cause of the fact that we went on a public holiday.The weather was also pretttyyy hot so advice to all,please bring a cap when you visit the garden.

 Just a shot of me in the Chinese Garden.Was wearing a floral dress from Brands :)

Other places like the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.

For those of you who planned to visit these two places,it will be way helpful if you can book the tickets for going.Like for us,we gave up lining up because the line was currr-ra-zehh!

At night,we waited till 8pm for the Light & Water show at Gardens.

Apparently,its a show of the LED lights that will light up what I call the little mushrooms at the Gardens.

Sis bro and I secured a pretty good spot from the bridge right across to have a nice view of it.

Constantly the lights kept changing colours and it has various patterns on it.It was written on the pamphlets that there will be water spurting out of it and that we will get to enjoy the light and water effects.Well,the thing is..I even went to look at the video of the show to get a rough idea what the show is about.Sis and I kept waiting and waiting for the water to come.To our dismay,there was no water!It would have been better with some water effects.Maybe sis was right..they did not pay their water bill that month LOL

Did some research on what we could do in Marina Bay Sands before the trip.

I even asked around.Shu Yee then mentioned to me about a Harry Potter exhibition that will be held in MBS.Immediately,I got excited.I mean..come on,I grew up watching Harry Potter and I've been on the movie from the first till the 7th instalment.hahah.So bro and I bought ourselves ticket each to get into the exhibition.Didnt know what we can expect from it,but I'm sure it will be something relatable to our childhood :)

One thing though,its sad that we weren't allowed to have flash photography inside the exhibition hall.Before we entered,we were given a Hogwarts scarf each for some sort of photoshoot for those who wish to purchase it for memory purposes.For the first room that you enter,they will make the whole touring as though as you're entering the real Hogwarts (well that is if you really remember the first movie).The most interesting part is that they used to Sorting Hat to "sort" out the volunteers before proceeding to the rest of the hall.Hahhaha.Then we went on our own,looking at all the cool exhibition stuffs.Like literally the items  were well displayed with helpful signboards describing in which installment that the items were used and who used it.Remember the pretty dress that Hermoine wore during the Yule Ball?Yes I saw it there too!

and oh,there will be souvenirs sold too.You get to purchase the chocolate frog,and some books,wands,broomstick,hoodies,shirts and the scarf.Seriously I regretted for not getting the Griffindor hoodie :(

So for you Potterheads,this is an exhibition that you should not miss!

 Taken outside the exhibition hall

Day Two

Woke up early to have some breakfast right across the hotel.We walked by the river to a stretch of coffee houses.Omg I tell you the smell of coffee.mmmph!It was about 10 in the morning and we decided to indulge into some English breakfast.

Then we took the shuttle bus service provided by the hotel to Orchard Road.

First stop,Takashimaya!Here...didnt get much stuffs.Except that sis got her baby stuffs since the equipments here seems much much cheaper.oh yeah,got myself a great organiser/mousepad.

Then we headed off to Mandarin Oriental for lunch.According to sis,there's this great japanese restaurant that sells great ramen.hahaha .The first thing I said when we reached was like "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" thats cause the waiting line was..jaw-dropping.Seriously how good is the ramen there?

We only got to sit after 45 minutes of wait.

Crazy but it was reaaalllly worth the wait.Seriously,so good!Even saw Andrea Fonsenka there.Could've said hi but maybe I wasnt too sure whether it was her or not.hahaha.

We then took the cab to Bugis Street.

It was indeed a place for teens.I mean..comparing,,its almost like the Hip Hop arena we have in Ipoh Parade.However,its a place with all the nice fashion stuffs and bags and accesories and all the other things.hahaha.Not much of a place for adults.Didnt get to buy any school bag because nothing really attracted me there.How sad.Anyway,bought some new ribbons! :D

All 6 for 10$.Which makes it RM 24.

God knows what's up with me and ribbons these days *shakes head*

hehehe.and that makes up day 2.

I would LOVE to continue about day 3 but that will be another longggg post since we spent the whole day in USS.and also its 1.39am here and I'm suppose to be submerging myself into bio facts.hehehe

To be continued tomorrow.

Goodnight bloggers!

Holiday week ONE

Before I start blogging on my first week of holidays,

lets rewind back to the few days before leaving KL just cause I had great time then :)

On thursday night,

the housemates held a "welcome" dinner for me.Awww..wouldnt you like it when you're appreciated or at least,notified?hahah.Yeah..so we had steamboat that night.Was looking forward to it since the whole day in classes.That was probably my first "home-cooked" food I had in lensa.Like seriously.Anyways,when I walked by outside the house after a long day of classes,I could literally smell the aroma of the food.Hahaha okay maybe I was too hungry thats why.

We started off dinner at about 6+ if i'm not mistaken.While waiting for the water to boil,we had a short "ice-breaking" session.hahahha it started with the question..

"What was your first impression on us?"

hahah well,I was a little nervous then but it was alright.I told the truth.I mean..whats the point of lying right? :)

We moved on by ME asking them what was their first impression on me *evil laughs*

So Lo thought I just look really really fair and Helena thinks I'm a rich girl.(NO WAY I AM).Apparently she could name every labels that I'm wearing on the first day there.hahahah yes sis would be happy to hear that -__-

And things got more and more personal LOL.Asking questions like "Have you tried french kissing?" "something something SXX" "Do you mind watching porn?" "Do you discriminate lesbianism?" HAHAAHA.very VERY funny bunch of questions.But I'm glad that we had some short get-to-know session.Wasnt superbly long but enough for a good start.Was also feeling so soooo thankful for their effort to have the dinner.You know...days before I moved in,I kept wondering how will my housemates and roommates be.Will I be too annoying to them?Will they isolate me?Will they hate me? But lucky for me,none of that happened..so far?hahaha.Anyway,they're a really nice bunch of people and I could see myself living comfortably and peacefully after a long day of classes for the next one and a half year :)

(P.s I wonder if they will see this post.hmm..that could be possible since they (Helena i mean) would stalk me.If you're seeing this,Hi Helena! )

Took some pictures before returning back to Ipoh.

 my ninnie!Gonna miss for throughout this whole 3 weeks.I hope that she will enjoy being home in JB and shopping at JPO hahaha.and oh,told my cousin who runs all advertising stuffs that she has a really good voice and she can rap reallllly well and got her recording demo so that she can use her talent to the max :D

 With the Michelle(s) :D

urghhh the naughty bunch.will miss them!

Okay back to my first week of holiday,

what I did so far was baking,baking and baking!
hhehee.

The first batch I made are lemon cupcakes!

Wait..that is probably the first time I make something besides chocolate.

hahah it turned out fine ( a lil sour though) but fine!

Its actually pretty simple to make.

The only tricky part is the amount of lemon rind and juice to be put in :X

Batch #2

(sorry god know why i cant rotate this picture -__- )

Chocolate cupcakes with fondant.

This was specially requested by sis.Ohhh pregnant ladies and their random cravings.LOL.I decided to make it pink because I LIKE PINK.and I will force my future niece to be a pink fan too and we can sooooo be bestfriends *bimbo mode* hahah.As you can see,the cat there..well it was suppose to be Hello Kitty.Now its only called "what-should-be-Hello-Kitty" or a "whiskersless Hello Kitty".Now its just some Hello Kitty that we used to know.oh boy I really suck at this.hahaha but mum and sis said they look cute.Do they?THAT you call CUTE??

Batch #3

heehhe.I know..PINK AGAIN -___-

Anyway,will be flying to Singapore tomorrow.

Marina Bay Sands,USS,Taka wait for meeeeee! (and a pregnant lady,and a jerk and an aunty)

Just memories...

First break yo!

Hello blogger peeps!

Here I am on Ipoh ground and in my lovely pink room updating me bloggie!

And oh yeah,currently on my very first sem break...starting from today to 3 weeks after :D

This break better be more productive than ever!

So the Olypics have been going on for quite some time now and one of the most exciting event (for Malaysians,of course) is of course the badminton finals!Got back from Mont Kiara on the day of the finals and had been trying to think where to watch the match.oh yeah!Kitty came down to KL for the weekend and so we went to Chalk and Cheese with the boys during the evening,to study for a short while before the match begins.We dont usually have days like these back in Ipoh and its nice that we get to spend some time there in KL.

Just cause we know that the cafe will be packed with all the exciting fans from HELP residence,we went a little earlier to have our seats secured.True enough,c n c was PACKED with people that night.Believe it or not,this is the first time I get to watch a match with so many other supportive fans :) It was of course,a little more triggerish and it definitely uplifted our support towards our beloved representative.One thing about being around me is that,I get this "funny feeling" when people starts to swear or even mention the vulgar word.Well,as usual..guys..vulgar words are more of "daily-used-words" for them.So I gave Aaron and Jevin THE STARE whenever that word come out of their mouth.hahaha its really funny how they try to cover it up and pretended like they never mention it.LOL.I couldnt tell you how much I laughed being around them,though..they "taruh" me more than ever urghhh! *rolls eyes*

Back to e match,the we had quite a great start!

Every single time Chong Wei gets his point,everyone clapped and cheered for him.And every single time he scores too,Aaron rewarded himself a spoon of the fried rice he ordered LOL wth right?

Oh you can tell how well spirited we are when it comes to games like this.It's like..someone the spirit of 1Malaysia just rises up just like that.Everyone at the cafe was supporting the one same person,the one same country we live in.It was quite nerve-wrecking for us all to watch the match.Everyone was putting so much hope on Chong Wei and we believed that he would have a good chance this time.As the match progresses,the level of nervousness we all had kept going higher and higher.

Oh the great joy when he won the first set!

But we were still having hopes even when he lost the second set.

The third set was oh-so nerve wrecking!

I'd almost close my eyes and make myself not watch it.Everyone got so tensed up.

In the end..well we were disappointed but we weren't really disappointed at Chong Wei.We were just..disappointed.Suddenly,everyone cleared up the place and we were still there...stoned and they seemed to have not digested the fact yet LOL.I was hoping for him to win..but I understand that things like these we cant control.We can only hope.What's worse was the post that circulated facebook and twitter later on.

THIS.

THIS I TELL YOU..BROKE .MY .HEART.

Just two simple words yet it touched my heart.I guess it touched most of the Malaysians' heart.

Dear Chong Wei,dont be sorry.Be proud!You've done something that none of us could do.You've done too much for us and we couldnt thank you enough for all your hard work and endless effort. There's nothing you should be sorry about.We're proud of you and you should be proud of yourself too.For once,we were all united as one..without those crappy useless propagandas that the politicians used for all these years.Let me tell you,that is one amazing thing that even some leaders couldnt do!So let us say THANK YOU for all you've done :)

oh,and also congrads to this young little star!

She wasnt really noticed by us before this,but now things will change!

Oh poor girl,cant imagine the amount of pressure of us Malaysians would put on her for Olympics to come.

Shall continue tomorrow!

Nights all :)

yes,me and ma puppy going to bed now.He told me he misses our ipoh bed :3

Goodbye July,aloha August!

It's been 2 weeks i think? since I last updated the bloggie.

So here I am,sitting in Mont Kiara,next to the lil nephew who is playing some weird facebook game..giving some updates!

Went back to Ipoh last week.like finally,right?

It always feels good to be home,but this time,went home with quite a bad bad news.Dont make me mention it because really,its a very saddening one.Right now,not many people knew about it so..thats good!Whatever it is,it happened (twice) and I really really wanna forget about it.

Anyyyywayyyys,it feels good to be home!Finally get to meet sis again and boom!she has a really huge tummy right now.hahaha and I felt my niece kicking.ahhh how nice :3

and oh oh!Finally got the thing that I've been eye-ing for more than a month

*drumrolls*

It's a vintage box in Ipoh.It was pretty pricey but sis immediately took me to the place to get it since they're throwing some sales.hehehe.Get to fit some apples and biscuits into it when I brought it down here.It will really make a cute picnic box,but for me..I kept all the girly stuffs in it!

It was a short but good trip.heheh :)

So it has officially been a month of college for me.

Days had been the same,you know..the same ol homework days,one meal per day,buying dinner after a long day,annoying mqa subjects *rolls eyes*.Apart from that,met new friends as time passes by and I realised how blessed I am to be in such friendly environment.It's like you may not know each other THAT well,but there will always be a pleasant "Hi" or a flashing smile whenever,wherever :)

Actually have some really realllllyyy nice people around me.Some to make me some sandwiches whenever I have long and no-break days.Some also willing to walk the distance with me to get dinner just because she didnt want me to walk back alone.See how the simple things people do would make someone else's day? :)

Bio lab days

Had lunch with daphne,dave and also Janet yesterday.

It was sort of an "ipoh-convent-girls-reunion" kind of thing that we've been planning for long.

the four of us basically had subway and did our own revision/homeworks.Of course,there's no way we will be sitting there like little angels doing our work without some chit chatting.You know that comfortable feeling being around familiar people?Yeah..that was what I felt with them.It feels..homey.Feels..nice :)

We totally opened up to each other,catching up and talking bout those good ol music jamming days.There's something funny about friendships,is that we know each other too well,we wouldnt just simply give in to what others would talk about them.Therefore,I trust her.I KNOW HER.I believe that there's definitely nothing wrong about being yourself,despite being yourself means being a little YOURSELF but it's not right at all to have two faces.So there goes my policy,we can be hi-bye friends,but no way we can be any how close.I just trust my old friend :)

 

 Friday evening,ramadhan bazaar.

Got a lift by Atika to get us to the Bangsar bazaar.

Seriously the raya month is nothing without these food and drink stalls which sells really reallly good malay food.The one at Bangsar was considered kinda small compared to the one we have in Stadium Perak.well,better than nothing though :) We stopped at almost every stall there due to temptations and the great scent of the food.In the end,we sorta overestimated ourselves and regretted later.hahahaha greediness takes over!

 and that,my dear friends...accumulates to THIS

 ANDDDD we couldnt finish it in the end.hahaha.

 That's all i can update now.

Upcoming stufs ;

First moral quiz

Holiday on Tuesday

M'sian studies trip :SS

 3 weeks break,next weeeeeeeek! (hello ipoh again !)

 Goodbye for now!Little cousin has been wanting to play my lappie :/
