Eat,Play, Love (Pt 1)

Hi everyone, It's 2011!! Happy New Year and wish everyone has a great year ahead :) well, it's already 2011, but I am still talking about 2010.. shame on myself, what a lazy girl I am.. went for Melaka and KL trip after the exam with Miss Zaza and Shirley..As you can see from the title,this trip was all about eating, playing and enjoying with my lovely friends. It's been quite a long time since my last visit to Melaka. So I was thinking to visit Melaka and here we go like FINALLY!!!! Melaka has changed alot, and it is so beautiful.... Well, I am lazy to elaborate more..So, the photos will do their job :)

Zaza's babies in the bus..

ya, we went there by night bus!!! *out of no choice, coz no flight landing at Melaka*

Seriously, the bus driver drove so fast and it was so scary!! I can't even sleep tight throughout the whole journey.. Thank God..we reached there safely and it was still early so we went to rest at David's..

After a good sleep, we are energy enough to go walk around!! so here we go~~~

First stop: visited little Jamie, David's niece..

she is soooo cute, but her brother is sooo naughty!!!

Soon, it was lunch time...then we went to the town area to hunt for some delicious food!! and that's our main purpose of visiting Melaka :)

went to Makko, Nyonya restaurant for our lunch...

the food are not bad...

usually we have steam otak-otak..and this is the first time I tried fried otak-otak..

taste not bad, taste a lil bit like fish cake..

Always hear people say how delicious Ayam Pongteh is.. and finally I got the chance to taste it!!!

DELICIOUS!!! it's my favourite among all dishes..

asam pedas was nice too..but the portion was too big for 4 persons!!

"the locals"..hahaha

A big thanks to David for providing us accommodation and being our tour guide :)

Zaza and I in front of Makko...

Ho Chiak went there before :)

After noming, it's time for exercise>>go walking around...

went to Menara Taming Sari..and bought the tickets for Duck tours :)

I've tried this at Singapore before,don't wanna waste money..so, I just took photo with it :)

The Ducktour started at 5pm, so we went to walk around...

in front of Islamic Museum

I only see this at Melaka..

why the other states don't have??

people were having wedding photo shoot...

*i also want can??*

The weather at Melaka was very hot!!! even I was wearing singlet and short pants only, still I was sweating like hell!!! therefore, we looked to something cool to chill...

David recommended Chendol Jam Besar located opposite to the Studhuys...

the locals were forced to be tourist for one day,hehehehe...

david, Shirley and I...

the church...

like this the most!!

Dear penang, please learn from them ok??

see, they can beautify their baby like that and even play Lady Gaga's songs during their ride for customers ok..

It was almost 5pm, so we went back to the Menara Taming Sari to wait for our Duck tours..

beautiful sky..

the agony of waiting!!!!

*the stupid Quacker didn't come on time*

Finally stupid duck came..hehe

on the Duck tours

the duck started to move and the instructor gave us some briefing about the places we will be passing by..

Beautiful floating mosque...

proceed to A Famosa after the Duck tours..

must go through this in order to reach St. Paul's church...

Well, look like ok only...

first, I said "ok la, not so tiring..

After that, I said:"OMGGGG, it's sooo fucking tiring ok..."

but then it is worth because the scenery up there was very beautiful!!!

and we got the chance to see the beautiful sunset :)

love you girls :)

this is beautiful..I am not referring to myself ok..

made a wish...

*Thank you for granted my wish..I've got what I wished for!! Thanks for YOUR blessings*

we then headed back to Dataran Pahlawan for Nadeje thousand layered cheese cakes that Zaza and I had been craving for so long!!!

Finally, I have the chance to eat it..must eat kao kao.. :)

Strawberry cheese cake..hmm, not bad

gula melaka cheese cake..not bad too

chocolate banana..also delicious, why every slice is delicious one??

Well, this is the best!!! the most delicious>>the original one..

Hmm, my pink guava yogurt is delicious too... :)

OMG,I was so happy!!

After the cheese cakes, we went to Jonker Street to walk around..Unfortunately, the shops were all closed on the day..too bad, why are we so unlucky :(

take away the chicken riceball, and David treated me.. thanks :)

and call me glutton Sabrina coz I am a big eater..hahaha

Without wasting time, went to Rivervine for our river cruise which was recommended by my mum...

on the river cruise...

seriously, it's a must to go!!! especially at night time, it is sooo beautiful...

I started to miss those day when we were sharing the beauty products and cosmetics together :)

compared with Singapore Flyer..Eye on Malaysia is just a small case :)

Seriously, Melaka is so beautiful..and I felt so peaceful and relaxed walking at the streets in Melaka..I love this city of heritage :)

it was a beautiful+fun experience hanging out with you all in this city of heritage <3

The end, thanks for reading..

weekend escapade to Jerejak

Unlike Tesol 2, Tesol 1 has never planned any class trip before. We thought of having a class trip, enjoy a great weekend together before we off to Sydney next year. This semester, we have planned for a class trip like FINALLY!! We decided to go to Pulau Jerejak as it is the nearest place for us to go..Not only the classmates, the course mates from the other classes joined us too. My class had gone through a hard time *like only God knows* during the preparation for this trip! However, I can see that everyone was quite happy during the trip.. Well, that's based on my observation..maybe it's wrong too..but I think this is the best trip ever that I have with my course mates! a bunch of great people, great food, great activities and great project manager too!! I can only say that I had lotsa fun during the trip and I took a lot of photos too!! such a great weekend that I had spent at there... =)

Penang Bridge looks so beautiful from the jetty..

No outside food allowed but we brought our own nasi lemak..what an irony!!hahaha

*thanks for the ones who sponsored the nasi lemak*

cam whore around is a must!!!

*Ridz's attire looks like he is going to aerobic class*

p/s: I love my domo T shirt :)

a memory at the jetty before going to the ferry :)

prayer for a blessed journey before we off to Jerejak..

project manager briefing..

off we go to Jerejak..bye bye Penang island

camera freaks like us, took photo to kill time when we were on the ferry..

some..err..I have no idea what they were doing..maybe explore something new..hehehe

Finally we reached Jerejak!!!

at the resort's lobby..

while waiting for the trainer to come,

the camera freaks will always do the same thing to kill time!!

and some asked me to be their "camera woman"..

some played congkak ..

and some had meeting/gossip at the lobby!!lolol...

After awhile, the trainer came and due to safety problem we cancelled jungle trekking and proceed to the next activity thatthey had planned for us!

kicked start with the rock climbing!

"Ridz: strike a pose when you see a camera!!! this is what a bitch does.."

and even more joined us!!

the trainer taught us about things to do before we start doing the rock climbing..

preparing ourselves for rock climbing..

yeah, we are ready for the challenge!!wohoo..

this trip helped to strengthen our bond regardless our race too!!

queue for our turn for the rock climbing..

Annyss and Qya were the first ones to go for it..

looking at Qya,the spider woman, I thought that rock climbing was quite easy!!

but it was not when I am doing it!! seriously, my fingers were so painful, my shoes were slippery and I keep on falling down!!At last, I give up!!I realized that the hands must be very strong in doing rock climbing!!

*first activity>> *tetttt* failed!!!*

second activity: rappelling!!

see, Nenynie looks so enthusiastic!!hahaha...

that's me!!!hehehehe...

*second activity: *ding ding* pass with flying colours!!!*

After rock climbing and rappelling..what's the next???

ARCHERY!!!!

Syazwan looks like very expert neh..heheheh

the gedik one!!hahahahah...

and me!!! huhuhu...

at least my arrow is on the board, not on the grass..hehehe

*third activity: *ding ding* passed!!!*

After the archery. it's time for lunch!!!!

out of expectation, we had buffet lunch and the food were so much more delicious than the Tesl Raya's buffet!! *personal opinion, no offence*

The food were so nice, so no further elaboration coz I was busying eating!!

After nom nom, it's time to continue with the activities!!!

before we cross the suspended bridge..and then we did flying fox!!!

it was so fun!!!! *too bad, I don't have the photo!!*

After all the activities, we went cycling around the island..It was adventurous and I did recalled back the memories during my childhood..and I just realized I seldom went out for cycling when I was a child because my mom doesn't allow me to do so!! what a sad childhood :'( lolol.. Besides, we played at the swimming pool too..bath before we left too :)

At 6pm, we prepared ourselves and left the island...

the captain was teaching them how to control the boat!!!

seriously, I can only say that they are so energetic!!!

we were very tired!!! the so called "nyawa-nyawa ikan"...

last but not least, the group photo!!!

Jerejak is an ideal place if you are looking for a place for team building.. coz they have paint ball!! *I am so gonna go back there for paint ball again!!*.. If you like extreme sports sort of activities, then you should go to Jerejak!!! It was so fun and I like the environment there!! Most important, the price is damn lao sai reasonable.. It costs us only freaking rm 60 all these including the ferry's ticket!!! the food are so delicious summore!!! I was very happy that day and it was great to put all those assignments aside and have a blast at another island!!! only one word can describe: awesome!!!!
