Travel Writer

Hello !!!

Hari ni xkluar lunch, atas beberape sebab ... Antaranya, post traumatic effect dr 12jam focus buat report + sakit tengkok salah tidor mlm tadi ... Atau lebih tepat lagi, menyampah nak be around double faces b!+c#es yg tak habes2 buat unpaid report to my superior ... Nanti I'll explain further on that, but most reliable reason was that - baru je lepas makan nasik lemak kul seblas tadi ... Haha, nampak tak dramatic effect di situ ?? Hehe ...

Stat dah jatuh to almost half, since 4 bulan yg lepas ... Saye baru prasan, hihi ... Tapi memang dah lame giler tak update pun ... Now my life have been put back together, so korang akan prasan perubahan dr segi routine kehidupan seharian di situ ... Heh ... Sorry to encik Fifiey, kalau terase cam saye makin blagak whatsoever ... Aku memang camni kalau dah start keje, ;p ...

Kalau korang prasan my updates lately, are mostly about my island vacation ... Island hopping kat KK, my yearly trip to Perhentian ... And rite now, sebenar nyer saye tak kluar lunch sebab eksaited searching pasal Pulau Tioman ... Hadooo ...

This had bring me to the thought - am I going to change my blog direction into travel writing ??
Jawapan: Maybe not la, it's just something interesting I love to do now ... Since mostly I'll spend my free time doing that, so that will be the most interesting topic for me to share will you guys la kan ??

I still have other things which are not related to travelling that I found interesting to share, such as how I survive 6months unemployment ... My new job, which is in Manjung ... Every week bole pegi Pangkor, & related to travel ?? Haha, it's just happened to be that my new job is near to a vacation spot ... Xpenah pegi pun Pangkor tu sepanjang 3weeks spent here ...

I better go now, before I exposed my bloging activities to unwanted stalkers ... Hihi, have a great week ahead guys ~

Pre Perhentian

I did mentioned in my previous post about the 3days long shopping to prepare for my trip perhentian ... Hahah, kenapa sampai 3days ?? 1st of all of course, sebab ade keje ... & one of the most important reasons is that it's so hard to find summer outfit when it's approaching winter ... Hahah, dulu tade la kesah sgt pasal seasons ni ... Tetibe skarang baru terasa perbezaan nye, hahah ...

There are lacey dress everywhere, & sgt susah nak carik beach wear ... Except kat bikini department @Debenhams ... Or maybe during my 1st day shopping tade idea nak beli ape, after I saw that see thru top kat Debenhams baru dpt idea what to look for ...

& sebab saya kurus, so adalah sgt susah nak fit myself into a kaftan ... The shoulders are always big, & will made me sink in ... By the end of the day, I have to go with a see thru shirt which actually can be formal ... Depends on how you style it ... Now I believe ape adik cherry always say, 'Jgn mimpi la nak pakai kaftan' ... Hihi ...

Tade la see thru mane pun, maybe sebab the color ... But the color helps bring the vacation mood ...

So remember to shop for your summer dresses in the middle of the year, or else you'll end up looking around for 3days like me ...Hihi ... So here's the total damaged for the 2days trip, ;p -

1. Toiletries - sunblock + after sun + travelling kit rm50

2. Outfit - See thru shirt + sundress rm 110

3. Bags - Sling bag + tote rm420

Abaikan item ini, kebetulan carlo rino on sale that 1st day I went shopping ... So trus beli, kalau tak gigil jugak la nak kluar almost 5hundred for that bag ...

Hot pink sling bag & tote on my right ... Abaikan mate yg xbole bukak tu ...

4. Shades - matching color dgn handbag rm20 from Brands Outlet ...

Total Damage = plusminus rm600 ...

Mule2 ade jugak niat nak find wedges ... Nasib tak beli, kalau tak sure membazir ... Sebab memang tade mase la nak b'cantek2 kat pulau ... Memang bgn, makan ... Swim, snorkeling ... Makan, party ... Swim lagi, & sleep ... Ade la lebih feel to walk bare foot on the beach & tade makne nye nak jump from water taxi pakai wedges ...

I end up experiencing outfit shortage, even dah bawak extra shirt ... Sebab sampai2 trus tukar baju for snorkeling, balik snorkeling tukar baju lagi for dinner ... Then lepas dinner nak lompat2 lagi beriadah di tepian pantai ... & another change for bed ...

The next morning, bgn nak pegi makan ... & mandi lagi ... Then another change to get to the main land ... To make myself comfortable all the way back, you might need another change ... So imagine kalau pegi 3days ?? Make sure you enuf shirts & pants ... Hihi ...

I shud stop now, I miss the island :(

Pulau Perhentian: Stress Free Weekend

There were a lot of long2 things we've been thru before we finally reached Long Beach, long wait for encik Kimi ... Long delayed sebab mek hantar atok tersayang to KLIA before we can start the journey, long drive ikut jalan pantai which drag us to 6hours ... Tak termasuk my 3days long shopping xsudah ...

 The long drive, nak ikut jalan pantai sgt ...

Since we left Gombak at 3.30 am, took a short break kat R&R Temerloh sebab air-cond panas ... Hahah, I managed to reach Cherating around 6am ... As the traffic blom heavy lagi, around 7am we reached Dungun for toilet break ... Thanks to my very supporting entourage, who kept me company dr Kerteh sampai Kuala Besut tak tido ... Hahah ...

Agak moral down since traffic agak heavy in Kuala Terengganu & almost 9am ... Ditambah dgn sesat2 lalu Seberang Takir since tu je jalan yg saye ingat mase gi Besut last year, padahal time tu lalu Seberang Takir sebab nak beli kepok ... ;p

We finally reach Kuala Besut around 10am, pegi withdraw duit & setting parking bagai ... Beli ticket & register with Jabatan Laut, dorang bagi ticket 12.30 pm ... Konon2 ade an hour nak mengalas perut, tapi tetibe je dorang panggil suh naik bot kul 11.30am ... Sebab ade trip to the nearby village, takde menyesal ke hape ... Trus hoyeh, lompat naik bot sebab dah eksaited tgk air kat jetty ... Hahah ...

So here the cost summary kat Kuala Besut (Day 1):

Minyak - RM 100 (ni ikut jalan pantai, 5hundred km over & of course ikut kete ape korang bawak ... share 3org ?? xpayah share sgt, sumer claim balik ... haha)

Parking - RM 7/day (the other car who reached a day early kene rm5 je per day ... mu kecek klate dapak muroh, hahahhahahhah)

Boat - RM 35 /person (actually kitorang dpt rm60 je return, harge member :D)

Mule2, mek2 2org yg duk depan dlm kete tu kerek habes la ... Nak tinggal kan je abe yg tumpang kitorang tu biler sampai Perhentian, & buat hal sendiri ... Skali biler ter'rescue' dlm situasi kat Kuala Besut tu, trus bersyukur masing2 sebab ade abe ... Kalau tak confirm2 kene tekan abes dgn pokcik2 kat jetty ...

Mokcik + mek kat jetty = eksaited ...

Eksaited giler naik boat, dgn org kampung yg gi pekan hari sabtu beli barang ... Ustad yang nak balik kampung tu pun happening siap offer kitorang rambutan, hahah .. & baby yg siap bagi posing duck face + 'peace mc 5days' ... Giler kau, duk pulau pun updet tau tgk youtube ... Haha ...

See ?? Told yuh !!!

 Posing lagi mek2 ni dlm bot ...

Sampai2 pulau around 12 lebih, trus hilang segala ape yg ade dalam kepala ... Sebab super duper sangat best !!! Tak terkate ... Air dah kaler turquoise, & crystal clear ... Dr dlm boat lagi, sampai sane kene bayar rm2 /each lagi for the water taxi ... 

 On water taxi from the boat to beach ... Stock air mineral mcm nak duduk seminggu, hahah ...

Sampai je trus check in, we stay kat rock garden ... Which is highly not recommended utk gegirl cam kitorang ... Sebab tengah hari sangat panas, nak duduk kat beach pun adalah sgt panas ... Even my trip sebenar nyer time almost monsoon, bole la harap berangin sikit ... Imagine kalau korang pegi time panas terik around June, so tepuk dada tanye selera ... :D

Tu belom masuk citer lampu asal bole, & cermin yg jatuh berderai biler korang eksaited lebih ... Berebut2 masing2 nak tenyeh eye liner time nak gi beach party ... Hahah ... & unluckily for us, toilet drain out outlet tu tade cover ... So ade 2-3 series of national geography mlm tu ... Cicak katak bagai sumer hade, nasib tak kluar yg lagi satu in reptile family gak tu ... Simpang !!!

Owh, the cost - rm120 /night (no a/c) ...

Xsempat makan ke hape, trus lompat join abe2 bersnorkelling ... Padahal ikut perbincangan bbm, takde nak nature sgt la ... Nak duduk tepi pantai je la ... Sumpah mengade ... Cost for the snorkelling trip - rm40 /per person ... 

Eksaited tak muke ?? Xtido dr kl tu ...

Kalau nak ikut kan, the 5 spots yang the boat driver bawak tu tade la exciting mane kalau nak dibandingkan dgn my island hopping kat Sabah last year ... Coral sumer dah mati ... Just they got extra point on turtle & shark point ... & of course the most favourite coral to see - yg ade nemo tu susah nak jumpe ...

We went back around 6pm, trus gi makan ... Standard la, kebulur bile swim ... & of course, kitorang ni tak makan dr Gombak ... Hahah ... Standard la makan kat pulau, it cost about rm 15-20 /per person for a meal ... Nasik goreng dlm rm12 - 15, air biase2 (teh o ais, sirap) sumer around rm4-5 & fruit just around rm 7/8 ... & all time fav drink kat sini - jus pise aka banana, mesti order utk feel lebih lepak tepi pantai ... Hahah ...

Night life adalah sangat happening kat Perhentian Kecil, the one & only sebenarnya sebab Perhentian Besar tade night life ... It's a perfect environment utk relax & enjoy the sea breeze, however music agak loud & boloq biler masing2 dah jadik monkey & mat salleh joget2 bogel ... Hahah ... 

Walau bagaimana pun, sebab tak tido since I woke up on Friday morning ... Jadik slamber, baring & membute with the loud music & monkeys jumping around ... Until mid night, when they light up the camp fire baru terbangun sebab panas & it's start raining ...

Naik atas bilik, sambung jadik monkey lagi ... Main game bagai, sampai kegilaan tahap maximum gi mandi laut at 4am ... Natijah dr kejadian itu, habes wallet abe ... My blackBerry, baju mek ... Sumer kene angkut belako oleh pihak yg tak bertanggung jawap ... Yes, barang kitorang kene kebas that night ...

So since blackBerry no more, gambar pada event2 afterwards sumer adalah zero ... Pagi tu, sorang2 bgn kul 11 ... Mimpi la kan nak sunrise bagai, by 12pm the weather is soooooo hot ... Memang bunuh diri nak jalan2 bogel kat pantai ... 

Somehow we managed to go for another round of snorkelling nearby the beach jek, oleh abe2 yg tegar ber'snorkelling' ... Yang lain, pancit ... Duk lepak posing2 saje ... :D

Memang xbest the last day, rase mcm rushed to have lunch ... Nak mandi2 jap, then pack & leave by the last boat @ 4.30pm ... Biler nak pegi tu, mcm something missing ... Even until now, still bole senyum sorang2 biler terkenang kan the white sandy beach ... Seriously, as I said ... Nothing much nak compare dgn corals kat Sabah, somehow there's something there ... Really peaceful, & there's no time to think about all the stress ... Kalau blackBerry hilang pun, you still can go home senyum ?? That's how amazing Pulau Perhentian to me ...

On the way back, sempat singgah beli kopok losong kat Semarok ... Losong la sangat kan, padahal kat Klantan ... Sempat la makan meggi ketam for dinner, then baru we head back to KL ... The one thing the boys successfully do to us is - buat kitorang gemok !!! Imagine 6 o'clock tu dah makan, then 9pm makan lagi ... Heavy dinner ... On the way back pun same, kul 8 makan meggi ketam ... 12am singgah makan lagi seblom sampai bentong ...

We reached Gombak around 2am ... Lepas hantar all my entourage balik, I managed to reach home by 4am ... Lepas setting2 mood tido, around 4.30am baru tido ... Tawakal je since tade alarm clock nak bgn gi keje esok, because all these while memang bergantung pd blackBerry sepenuhnya ... AlhamdulliLlah, everything went well ...

We'll definitely come back, when they mentioned about Pulau Perhentian will be closed during the monsoon season ... Rase mcm lamer giler nak tunggu die bukak next year ... Gosh, mcm bercinta dah nak gi Perhentian ni ... 

Kalau dulu celcom ckp xbole nak revise plan sampai 15hb, kalau tak kene penalty 1k ... Confirm aku mengomel, komplen here & there ... Now biler gi claim sim card & they still gave the same answer, somehow bole senyum & tenang tunggu 15hb baru dpt new smartphone ... Huhu ... Perhentian gave me all the calmness, ;p ...

Tetibe aku ade post travel guide kan ?? Haha ... K la, later ~

Borneo Trip Round 2: Bundle Updates Part II

Obviously I'm freaking busy last week ... Xsempat nak hapdet ape2, since day 1 of arrival ... Sampai yesterday, imagine xde langsung mase nak pegi window shopping ?? Actually semalam sempat kalau nak pegi, but I got a bad fever ... Xlarat nak buat pape ... So here's some updates on my whole week vacation ...

Upon Arrival -

My brother picked me up at the airport, & Yana Guring was there as well menyambut Kakak Cherry kesayangan die ... Glad that everybody's happy with the cupcakes ... The bride dah tido when I arrived, kesian ... Sehari sblm nikah baru dapat cuti ...

the cupcakes ...

Day 1 -

My duty as bride's maid started already ... Drove the bride's mum to Putatan, kene beli bunga telur ... Sebab in early plan, bunga telur not included ... But as adviced by org2 sekeliling, it's better to have them for mlm b'inai ... Other gifts is already done, just the bunga telur was done last minute ...

Went jalan2 in 1Borneo, carik baju for Danish ... Baru tau, susah rupe nyer carik formal wear for baby boy ... Cute dresses for girls memang bnyk, hahah ... Dah excited window shopping for baby dresses ?? Sabar2 ... Hahah ...

Later that night we have a little dinner with close friends & family ... It was fun, & nothing's dirty involved ... We just enjoy ourselves - show off talents + kutuk Wani yang over excited ... Heheh ...

Day 2 -

We slept all day, me & adik cherry ... Hahahhahahahah, bgn jap ... Makan, pastu tidor balik ... Bgn pukul 6ptg, makan ... Tengok tv, tolong balut bunga telur jap ... Pastu pukul 12 dah tido balik ... Heheh ... Owh, the bridal started installing pelamin rumah that afternoon ... By midnight, the pelamin is done ...

Day 3 (Hari Nikah) -

Woke up early around 9am, stayed home the whole day ... Last minute inai for the bride & bride's maid (yg over) ... Hahah ... Pengantin dah pakai basic inai the night before, we (me & kakak ipar bride) went down & dirty on the henna design ... Fully utilizing the sticker bought from kedai India, & it turned out just fine ...

 semangat giler ...

Then the event start around 8pm, beautiful ... Beautiful, beautiful ... Malas nak tulis panjang2 ... Just enjoy the pictures ...

 maut, hahah ... love this picture to the max !!!

pengapit nak publicity gak ... ;p

We went directly to Palace Suite after nikah, walaupun penat ... Tapi sebab over excited, xbole tido ... Went out for supper & bumped into saingan (hahah, fakta xpenting langsung) ... Then went back to the room, iron my dress for the next day ... Pukul 4 baru bole tido ...

Day 4 (Reception) -

Woke up around 9am, we went for breakfast downstairs ... Then rushed for make up for the reception ... Make up done around 1pm, later I'll elaborate more on the details ... Supaye korang don't have to go thru my novel long killing words, hahah ... More pictures ...

I love this shot, things look exclusive ...

I believe there's more great shots, tapi belum t'upload lagi ... She beautiful aite ?? I know ... Heheh, I'll update this post from time to time ... We spend the night at the suite again that night, & I manage to lepak2 with the girls ... Itu jek la the only time I manage to go out with the girls, now I know how tiring it is being the MOH ... Heheh ...

Day 5 -

Woke up, eat breakfast ... Tu pun mcm xbrape nak makan, sebab dah rase badan xsedap ... Then lepas mandi, I'm totally wasted ... Sampai rumah je, trus get the meds ... & tido sampai ptg, feel a little bit well ... Went out makan roti bakar & beli yoyo, then dah rase xsedap badan balik ... By 9.30pm, we're already home ... It's a boring day, & tiring ... That's it, heh ...

Day 6 - 

My flight was at 6.50am in the morning, hahah ... Now I'm stuck at home in Bangi, xtau nak buat ape ... Org lain sumer keje ... ;p

So I better explain further on the details in separate post, biar senang korang nak search ...

Here's a few that I already have in mind to share:

1. Wedding Favors

2. Inai/Henna

3. Dayang Bridal

4. Dewan SESB

5. Palace Suite (not sure yet)

6. Party Play

Hokay, enuf ... Jangan tabur janji2 manis, hehe ... Till then, take care ... To anis, selamat pengantin baru ... Wish you & Malee's happiness for the rest of your life ... Buat baby cute2, senang mo sub sama auntie kak yang suruh baby sit ... Heheh ...

Borneo Trip Round 2: Bundle Updates

Oh my, bnyk giler bende belum settle ... I'm less than 24hrs from my flight !!! T'pakse buat bundle updates, sebab xsempat nak buat hapdet every now & then mcm last visit ...

48hrs Before Departure -
Went shopping for my essentials kat Mesra Mall, because I'm still working on Sunday ... Siap kan report, because I'll be away for a week ... Just cream cleanser dgn hand lotion je pun, then I got my weekly shot of Caramel Macchiato kat Starbucks because I have to drive back to Bangi ...
Then drive the longest journey from Kerteh to Bangi, brenti at every r&r along the highway for approximately an hour every stop ... Sebab mengantuk sgt, the night earlier ... I just drive back dr Bangi, crazy right ?? Sebab bnyk giler bende xsettle lagi, + my report xsiap ... So t'pakse balik Terengganu jugak, considering xnak susah kan org lain settle kan my report ...

36hrs Before Departure -
Picked up my bride's maid dress yg 5mins away from home jek, hehe ... Puas hati ?? Yes, just that ... Ade mis-communication sket ... Since Rico nyer staff ckp there's more beading, but actually it's done just like mase 2nd fitting ... But I lurve it oredy !!! I'll sure find Rico for coming events ...
Then we (me dgn adik cherry) went for baking shopping, all the flour & kotak2 yg perlu utk transport my heart melting cupcakes for my dear bestfriend - Puan Shazuwani & (bakal) Puan Anis ... (Bakal) Kakak ipar aku, & scandal aku kat kk tu ... Hahah, scandal la sgt ... Sebab dah janji kan, so kene bagi ... ~ imagine my angelic impression ~ ;p
Got call from 'Api Terbang' said the flight re-timed at 1910hrs, perasaan ?? Panas ati, die call adik aku kot ... Apsal xcall aku ?? Called my ex who suppose to be on the same flight, said yes - hade jek org FireFly called, flight kul 7.10pm ... They sent me email je ... Haish, apsal sumer suke 'assume' aku ni career women yg check email hari2 ... Tapi not fair kot, apsal org lain dorang call ... But I didn't get the call kan, naseb baik la adik aku will be in the same flight ...

32hrs Before Departure -
Posted on my fb, suruh my dear friends place order ... Either nak chocolates or carrot cupcakes ... They want both ahhh ?? Hahah, padan muke aku ... Cite2 tinggi sgt, nak settle sumer bende ... But one of them won't be around, so there'll be less boxes for adik cherry to carry ... Hahah ... Sebab tu la aku murah hati beli kan tiket die, supaye die boleh angkat barang aku ... :D

24hrs Before Departure -
I'm done with the 1st round baking, ade 3more important things to be done ... Another flavor of cuppies, & frosting ... & packing, haih ... Frosting sempat buat lagi tomorrow ... Wish me luck ladies ...

I better go now, adik cherry is getting bossy suruh settle those things ... & b!+c#ier dgn my little brother yg degil giler xnak blajar even tho PMR dah dekat giler ... ;p

Good night ...

Bintulu - Day 3

It sucks sebenar nye ... Sebab tu malas nak update ...

Muiz keje lagi, half day ... I went down to the lobby to purchase late check out, but they can't give me any ... Since the system didn't work yet in Bintulu ... So, imagine ... 9.15am baru t'hegeh2 turun bawah ... Then kene rush back, up to the room ... Nak packing bagai, have to check out at 10am ?? Yes, Tune Hotel kene check out at 10.00am !!!

Then, I have to wait for Muiz about an hour ... I had enough meal at nearby cafe, then we went to the local market to find ikan masin & gambir (utk Fiq, hahahhahahahahahh ... Padan muke, memang saje aku nak kantoi kan kau kat cni) ...

Then ... At 2pm dah reach the airport, my flight 4.30 ok ?? & Muiz left ... Yahhh, he got work to do ... Bla x3 ... Malas nak complaint lebey2, walaupun sebenar nye kecik ati ... Just because it's Bintulu kot, if I'm in KK then ... It shouldn't be a problem pun if he drop me off 2hours early ... Because I know what to do ...

I mean, if he left me waiting for 2hours around kl ... Or let say Melaka, comfirm la mokcik gi shopping kan ?? Heheh ... Sumer bende kau komplen mokcik, too much attention rimas ... Not enuf time nak bunyik ... Heheh, b!+c# slap !!!

So, as I arrived ... I wait another hour (++) lagi ... Sebab my sister lambat (yeahhh bebe, you're in my blog) ... Hahahahhahahahahh ...

Lambat nyer update, basi dah ... Dah siap gaduh dgn Muiz pasal nak pegi kursus kawen ... He already done his, that's mean I have to go on my own ... Memang hangin la kan ...

Hmm, this week going to be in airport once again ... Fetch daddie & the 'kain's ... Hahah, sampai xmuat bag daddie shopping ... I kirim lace, but he said they have like 2-6inch width ... Sampai gaduh2 la tadi, hahahahhahhahah ... Penat nak tanya thru the phone what else do they offer there ... Nak kene pegi Delhi jugak ni one day, shopping kat sane ...

If it's nice, I'll post the picture later yahhh ... Bisnes2 !!! Hahahhahahahh ...

What else do I want to share with you yahhh ?? Lupe ...
