Weekend getaway: Penang

August 18, 2014 by Secret's of My Life

So last weekend we went to Penang. 15th-17th August 2014.

We ate a lot. EXTREMELY A LOT. A bit too much perhaps. HAHA

We went there by 5.30 pm bus, and reached there around 11.30 pm.

We check-in into the hotel and put our things, and went out with much hope to eat durian.

.... but it was close.

Then we went to a nearby food place and ate satay kacang and belacan crispy stuff ...

i just can't remember what it is called. lol

but there wasn't any belacan in the food. it's just probably the name.

i would honestly say that both stuffs aren't good.

plus, there were a lot of small green insects at the food place, which made us eat quickly and leave.

went back to the hotel and had a shower. we went into the guys room and chill.

some played cards, some just stuck with the phone.

slept at 2 or 3 am i guess, and woke up at 11 am.

egg custard
i swear this is one of the best inventions ever!

We went for a dimsum at Prosperous Dimsum, and then to lorong selamat afterwards.

Fried oyster

Then, we got to Gurney plaza and strolled around. And guess what?

We went into Toy R Us and we bought an Empire Monopoly. lololol

Lowest ground.
Scallops

Found a pie shop at the lowest ground.
Chocolate pie. Egg custard beneath the chocolate.

We ate our dinner at "huana kak" around 6 pm, and then went to a place near Sunway hotel to have our durian.

Left to right; Rujak, (something), muachi.
Fried lok-lok, bean curd, lok-lok.

As some of us (Eric to be exact :p) wanted to play pool so badly, we found a Pool place nearby and got there after our durian session.

it was 10 pm, we walked pass a food street and some of us were just hungry and bought some food.

Vegetarian Popiah, Fried carrot cake
Fried oyster

Brought back tambun from Ban Heang.

We played the Empire Monopoly and then Double dare.

Jason and Catherine were the victims.

We stopped playing because we couldn't think of any dares for Catherine when she got it twice.

the girls were very tired and we went back to our room.

i didn't understand why Jason and Eric followed us, but then they disturbed us.

We couldn't sleep as we kept laughing and laughing.

We finally managed to sleep at 3 am, then woke up at 9 am.

The very last day ... we went to Perangin mall to buy an indeed very crispy and delicious double chocolate waffle. okay now i'm craving for it .... asdghjlfdshajf

we went to eat Char Kuew Tiaw and Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul at Lebuh Keng Kwee street.

I never liked chendul, but this one is different. it was absolute delicious. and also the Kuewtiaw.

It's definitely better than Lorong Selamat's one.

The popiah there is nahhh...

We went to Paragon afterwards and had our sweets craving fulfilled just before we leave the town.

it was indeed a very good one. i tried the extremely dark chocolate truffle, and i should say it is the best chocolate truffle i've tasted so far. and everything else, are just wonderful.

Our bus was at 4.30 pm. We played monopoly a long the half way and get dizzy afterwards. hehehe

After we reached Sunway Pyramid, we went to SS15 to eat kaima, which is simply broken burger meats topped with egg and cheese.

I enjoyed the trip very much and hope to have another trip soon! xx

A Saturday in Singapore

Last weekend, 21 of June 2014, I finally went to Universal Studio Singapore!!

I went alone, but then I met my friends there.

At first I know there are going to KL, but I didn't know they are going to USS as well.

So few weeks ago, when I was in Medan, I met them at the cinema.

We talked for a while, and that was when I found out that they're going to USS.

So I (uninvited-ly) instantly said that I would like to join them.

I asked them whether I can join them or not. and they said yes (WOOHOO!)

At first I hesitate whether I should go or not because it's just the weekend before final exam.

However, after a lot of thinking (No, I didn't think at all. I just know that I must go), I finally decide to go.

Just want to tell you a fact that I couldn't sleep the night before the day.

I LOVE THIS OMG
It's a ROLEX!
(I found this on a Magazine while waiting for the boarding time.)

My first food is this Cinnamon Melts from McDonald.
I honestly say it's extremely too sweet for me but ...
Here I am again with this thing.

CHOCO CRO from St. Marc Cafe in Vivo City.

A good croissant with green tea, red bean, and chocolate filling.

I'm not sure what is the name of this one,

but you can differentiate them by the colour of the paper-wrap.

I arrived at USS before them. I arrived at 2 pm and waited for them for an hour.

It was damn HOT!

So I strolled around Sentosa.

Wanted to get an ice cream but then I was too full for it.

Cinnamon sugar churros.
Not bad though.

We played some attraction and the best one is the Mummy ride thingy.

The sad thing is that the roller coasters are under maintenance :(

Awkward poses instructed by the camera-lady HAHA

Oh! and we were supposed to print and pay for this picture, but it costs SGD20.

So we decided to pretend that we are choosing which one to be printed,

and we silently took a picture of them. (GENIUS HA!)

Frankenstein

Not sure who they are ...

Marilyn Monroe

I couldn't find the human Minions :(

So I decided to take a picture with the figure instead :(

(Although at first i told them we're not going home if I don't meet the minions :( )

So we went out of USS quite early and we had our dinner at Vivo City foodcourt.

My carrot cake :9

Shereen's wanton noodles.

Okay, we were supposed to share these two dishes,

but then we end up sharing 1/4 of both dishes only.

It was damn gooddddddd.

I WANT TO GO BACK :(

Here we are after a very long walk from Lavender MRT Station to Golden Mile Complex.

It was indeed a very tiring day.

Honestly, I've never felt so tired before.

But the tiredness is worth the fun.

We finally arrived at Swiss Garden KL, which is the stopping place, at around 5 am.

I had hard time sleeping in the bus because it was cold and not comfy enough for me.

So, they put they luggage in the hotel and we went to McDonald's nearby which is in Bukit Bintang area.

I ordered Big Breakfast and ...

It's different from the one I had in Singapore.

I like the Singapore one A LOT better.

I left around 7 am and reached my room at 8 am.

Short story, I took a bath and slept at 9 am.

At 10 am, my phone rang and it was my uncle calling.

He said he is in KL and told me to go to KLCC in an hour.

So yeah...

I took a bath again and went off at 11 am and reached KLCC at 12 pm.

AND... My uncle wasn't there yet. Awesome.

Had a bit of shopping day and went home at 6 pm.

I slept at 8 pm guys! lol

And woke up the next day at 7 am.

Such a good sleep.

Anyway, I had such an amazing weekend and I would like to thank Angie, Shereen, Hafiz, Bryan T., and Brian N., for letting me joining them. BIG HUGS for you guys!!

A Day in Malacca

May 20, 2014 by Secret's of My Life

I LOVE STREET ARTS!!!
(Somewhere in Jonker Street. I think it's a cafe's wall.)

Last Sunday, 18th of May 2014,

we finally, after few times of cancellations, went to Malacca.

We tried the famous chicken rice balls and satay celup.

Which turns out not that good :(

But we still had a lot of fun.

We walked around Jonker Street and took lots of pictures.

Like A LOT of pictures. lol

On our way to Malacca

Chicken Rice Balls

Durian cendol and Gula Melaka Cendol.
I prefer the Gula Melaka Cendol though.

We found a Chocolate Shop somewhere in Jonker Street.
It was GOOD!

It's just eggs, but it's quite good!

We found this in Jonker Street. It's basically puff pastry with Yam or Sweet Potato fillings.
I like the Sweet Potato ones better! but both are delicious!
Will definitely buy more when i go next time.
