Malacca 2008

Right like what I mentioned in the previous post, this post will be about the trip to Malacca I had with Angie and Zanne.

Our bus was scheduled to leave at 10am. So I woke up at 7am that morning to get ready and then took the LRT to Puduraya. The journey was about 2 hours and by the time we got there I was so hungry.

Angie called her uncle who lives there to come pick us up and he brought us to this ancient little Chinese restaurant that sells the BEST ever "char siew fan", I still daydream about it now.

Omggg I really want it againnnnn! =(

Anyway, from there we adjourned to the hotel which we’re gonna stay in - Equatorial Hotel. I know, it is pricey. But nonetheless, very comfortable.

The view from our room balcony, you can see the Straits of Malacca

Baby Panda came along too! =D

We stayed a couple of hours in the room to settle down and clean ourselves before walking over to some of the shopping complexes nearby. Bought 2 pairs of earrings from there.

Then at around 6.30pm, Angie’s cousins picked us up and brought us to try the satay celup.

That’s where everyone dips the sticks in. A little disgusting when you think of it, but ah well, it’s just to try. =)

We were pretty stuffed after that and continued walking round the shopping centers. At about 9 ish pm we went to this open air food court called Newton and ate a bunch of stuff.

Fried oyster with starch and egg

Ikan bakar!

Er…I think it’s old cucumber soup

We were once stuffed again and dragged ourselves back to the hotel. Lights out!

Angie & Nikki

It was a very windy morning and our hairs were all over the place. Lol. Anyway, after sightseeing we walked over to a restaurant selling chicken rice balls.

I ate 10 rice balls and was again, stuffed. Lol. I know it’s unhealty. But hey, we’re on holiday!

With lunch over, we walked across the road to the Stathuys and paid RM5 to enter the museums there.

After the museum we walked a distance to the "Eye on Malacca" some sort of er…miniature of Eye on Malaysia. It’s nothing much really, just a revolving tower where we have to pay to go in and sit for 7 minutes while it keeps revolving.

The view

We were pretty hot and tired after all that so we walked all the way back to our hotel to shower and get changed to go out again.

It was tea time and we went into this little shop called Cafe 1511. It was featured on the food programme Jalan-jalan Cari Makan so I figured it must be pretty good.

Pai Tee

Nyonya spring roll

Otak-otak

Ah, we were half stuffed. The other half reserved for the food from Jonker Walk.

Laksa

Cendol and ais kacang

Angie and I blowing bubbles! =P

Bubbles on the floor

The next morning - our last morning in Malacca was pretty gloomy. It rained all morning, we couldn’t go out to eat. So we had to stay and eat the er…overpriced food at the hotel.

Check-out time was 12 noon so we hung around the hotel as we didn’t really have much time left. We camwhored a bit more to burn time.

That’s it for our trip. I think all of us enjoyed it thoroughly. Can’t wait for our next semester break for yet another trip. =D

P.S. I think we’ll be going to the beaches at Kuantan, Pahang. =P

Pavillion @ 10th July 2008

Just 2 days after we finished our final exams on 8th July, Angie, Zanne and I took a couple of trains down to Pavillion.

We were starving by the time we reached so we immediately head over to Tony Roma’s for lunch.

We all agreed to order the set lunch and the onion ring thingy which was supposedly heavenly as told by Angie.

After lunch we went into the washroom and camwhored there for a while. Lol. People gave us funny looks as we stood in front of the huge mirror taking pics.

There are loads more of pics, but it’s pretty much the same. =D

Then, we walked around and looking for stuff to buy. I bought some stuff for my nails and eyes. Plus a birthday present for my bro, it was his birthday that day.

Hmm I can’t remember now what else I bought but I do remember that I spent more than I planned. Lol. Oh well.

Oh yeah, we tried a bunch of dresses at Forever 21. Think I’ll get a few of them when I get my allowance. =P

We left around 5.00pm because I had to go back early for my bro’s birthday dinner.

—————————————————————————————-

Then, on the 12th I went out with CM, Jie Yi and SC to celebrate Jie Yi’s birthday. My lappie somehow can’t read my camera’s digicam now, so can’t upload piccies. =/ But there are only pics of food, forgot to take the people. Lol.

Mmm oh and last Thursday, 17th July 2008, again the three of us (Angie, Zanne and I), we went to Melaka for a 3 days 2 nights trip! Part of the pictures are with me while the others are with Zanne. I shall wait (till God knows when) for Zanne to upload hers before I make a blog post about it. =D Til’ then, see ya!

I Can’t Feel My Brain

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Just  bloody ugh.

Malaysian Studies is such a pain in the butt. I really cannot wait to get it over and done with. Oh but just so you know its sooooo ironic that Malaysian Studies also happens to be one of my highest scoring subjects. I know! It’s so dumb.

However, I’ve got a feeling that for my finals (tomorrow) I will not perform as well as I did during mid term. Sigh.

For the past week I was having my study break and to be honest it was more of an "chill and relax" break. I told myself last Monday that, "Okay, I will fully utilize my study break to its maximum." But what did I do every day right until only Saturday? Oh, I sat in front of my computer watching Friends.

Argh. I’m like half-lying to myself that I have already studied weeks before and am ready for tomorrow. The other half is kinda regretting not have made use of the study break. Oh god. Why does it always have to be like that?

So yesterday (Saturday) and especially today I spent most of the time cramming whatever information I can about Intro to Mass Comm and Malaysian Studies. I’m telling you my brain actually feels numb right now (hence the title).

Sigh. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Hmm wait…perhaps I should take a more confident approach.

I will do great tomorrow!
(Or I hope at least. >.<)

OH WAIT!

Here’s a picture of Baby Oakey right after his bath:
