A Weekend to Splurge

I always had a great time when we spent the day with mum. She never failed to treat us like her little girls. On this holidays, mum decided not to go to any getaways, but to just hang around in KL, go to shopping malls, have great lunches and desserts and just shop shop shop =)

Turban from Sugarscarf

Cat-eye: Liquid eyeliner from Sephora

Went to Scrap n Crop shop for mum's scrapbook and artwork projects :)

Mum 'belanja' me this. Tropical Kate Spade iphone premium hardshell case. But it had already cracked a bit at the bottom. Silly me, always clumsy around things and i just smashed down my phone to the floor this morning. What a gloomy day to start of. Really hurt my feelings but no am not gonna cry :'(

And this is what i had yesterday. A must buy if you go to KLCC. 

Macarons & meringue from Harrods and Cheesecorn & Caramel Crisp from Garrett

Weekend's Getaway: PD Ilham Resort

Last weekend, me and the whole family went to Port Dickson for a short getaway. Stayed 1 night at PNB Ilham Resort, near Tanjung Tuan Light House. It's a 4-star resort and i must say, we really enjoyed it. The room was so spacious, we took a 3-bedroom apartment, and the living hall as you can see just feels like home. Oh and the best part is, they had a FREE WI-FI! And the network coverage was just terrific you have nothing to worry about.

At night, we booked our own 'pondok' for barbeque. The hotel just prepared us some foods such as fried rice, drinks and desserts, and we cooked the bbq ourselves. It was fun though to have a family bonding time like this. And the bbq place was just in front of the beach-side. Could hear the sea breeze while cooking and have our bbq dinner. How cool would that be? =)

Need getaway like this more often ^_^

Singapore Has Been Great #2

Assalamualaikum..Happy Wednesday all..

Wanna update about my trip to Singapore last October. This time, we went to Bugis Street, Paragon, and last stop we visited our relatives, which is actually my mum's uncle and cousin, who is currently staying in an apartment in Woodlands.

Remember i told you that it was cheaper if we go there by bus from JB? Yes, indeed! I think it was only RM5 per person if we wanna go to Bugis Street from JB Sentral. And the bus ride wasn't so bad. Not many ppl and you can always get a seat.

When we arrived, we had to take a walk and crossed the road to get to Bugis Street. It's like a Malaysian Petaling Street, you know. Full of crowds, many vendors selling clothes, shoes, crafty things and also food. We didn't buy much though as we need to stay 'light' until night time. We don't want to hold on to too many shopping bags, plus the prices there are quite expensive.

After that, we took an SMRT (Singapore's subway) to go to Orchard and headed to Paragon Mall to find some goods and chocolates. We even bought macarons, so sweet, yummeh! And we just hanged around outside near the streets just to see the view of Singapore ppl =)

Finally, at night, we decided to shop a few things and before going back we dropped by our Tok's house in Woodlands, it was so easy to find. Just took an MRT ride, and we already reached their place. When i see him, i can't imagine how i missed my late Tok Wan so much. He is Tok Wan's brother and staying with his daughter in Singapore. Mum said we might visit them again ^_^

Til we meet again dearest Tok =)

Singapore Has Been Great #1

I know this is a super overdue story. Some time in October last year (well, obviously i started writing this blog in January 2011 :P), me and the whole family went to Singapore for a holiday trip. Dad treated us with fun at the most talked Universal Studio! Of course we were thrilled with excitement and joy when we heard about it. But, we didn't go there by flight, my daddy drove us all the way to JB, stayed there, and we took a bus ride to Singapore, more cheaper this way =)

It was a 3 days trip (Friday, Saturday & Sunday), and lemme tell ya, it was tiring like crazyyy!! Imagine we went to Singapore those three days but we stayed the nite at JB. And in Singapore, we didn't just sat around, we walked, shopped, dined, and yes, when we were in Universal Studio the second day, that was really exhausting! It opens in the morning at 9.30am and closes around 10.30pm, ppl usually didn't go back home until late because there was a fireworks show every time they were closing. 

About the meal, do not simply go to McDonalds there as it is 'NON HALAL'. Inside Universal Studio, there's only ONE place that you could dine-in, the Mel's Drive-In (owh i remembered the name at Fatin Liyana's blog entry {BudgetSingaporeTripPart2}). So we just had burgers from lunch til dinner, amekaw balik JB melantak nasi goreng haha. 

Okay, i didn't want to bore you with a very long post, so i shared bout some stories on my next post. Til then, pictures!!

Til next post, Bugis Street, Woodlands, and family relative's visit =)
