It has been a wonderful weekend!
It started with my brother's convocation on Fri.. Went to SIM early in the morn... His convo session starts at 10am, but we reached there around 8.30, cos if we go too late then there'll be no parking lots... while having breakfast, my cousin and her family came.. yup she's taking the same course as my bro hence they're graduating together... after which, they went into the auditorium, and then i stayed outside and wait for Deary, then we chatted until 11+... had the sumptuous buffet lunch provided, and took lots of photos...
after the photo-taking session, we set off to Malacca! This is the first time we're driving in to Malacca... we usually only went to JB... yup so we made our way thru Causeway, then into North South Highway, and exit correctly to Malacca! we did not lose the way lol... cos got GPS as well as maps that we printed out... but traffic was rather heavy in Malacca.... so we only reached our hotel around 6pm... We booked Hotel Equatorial, it is a really great hotel!!! we actually booked an extra bed, but after viewing the room, we cancelled the extra bed, cos the day bed is enough for me and my sis.. haha so 5 of us stayed in 1 room... after settling down and washed up, we went out, and walked slowly to Jonker Street, passing by the ship statue as well as the famous red church... was really crowded at Jonker street! we bought those snacks as we walked down the street, and we were quite full by the end of the street.. and we still had dinner reservation made at one of the teochew restaurant as recommended by my bro's fren.. so we walked slowly and make our way to the restaurant, and had our dinner.. it was really nice, the fish is really fresh! and the yam paste is great too!! after dinner, we walked to the Muslim street, and walked awhile before heading back to hotel... it was a great day =)
early sat morn, went for a swim with my mum... there's no one at the pool, so we can swim in anyway we want haha... after the swim, mum and dad went for breakfast, while my sis and i went for jacuzzi... after around half an hour of jacuzzi, we went back to bath before heading out for brunch and some shopping... so, toge with my bro and sis, we went to the shopping centre right beside our hotel, and ate A&W! yeah the curly fries and root beer float!!! yummy! then we shopped around, bought some clothes etc... then its back to the hotel to check out.. after checking out, we drove to Jonker street, to look at the afternn shops.. we had late lunch at the famous chicken rice ball shop.. its very crowded, but as review stated, SG chicken rice tastes much better hahha.. but it was a nice experience... after eating, we walked around a while before setting off and head back home... along the way, we decided to go to JB to have seafood dinner.. so we went to Taman garden to eat chilli crab before home...
it was a short trip, but it was nothing but fun! it feels really great to be able to travel with family =) really enjoyed ourselves, and certainly looking forward to the next road trip!

A day in JB
Went to JB with Deary yesterday... We had K-lunch over there from 10-1.30.... food was ok, but was nice to sing haha... after that, we went to catch the movie Salt.
It was a nice movie, one who loves action-packed movies will sure love it. The unexpected twists in the story is great too! But the ending seems to tell us to wait for Salt 2... anyway, it was so cheap to watch movie in JB, 2 tix cost only RM13! and we got the couple seats haha so really worth it... after movie, we walked around awhile, but din buy anything, cos i always go hahah..
We went to have our dinner at Nandos, a change from our usual Kim Gary lol.. the food was ok, well its famous for grilled chicken, and I thought the chicken tastes no different from the roast chicken that my parents always buy for prayers lol... Just that they have the special chilli sauce, but even the extra hot doesn't taste very hot to me lol.. but it was still a filling dinner, I can't even finish the sides.. I think I never even finish half of the portion of the side dishes lol...
All in all, it was an enjoyable day out...

Enjoying life during the holidays.. went for a 3 days 2 nights trip to Batam with Deary from 15-17th Aug... It was my anniversary present for him, haha so we stayed in a suite room (my first time staying in one), was really luxurious haha! did nothing much there, except to swim, walk around the resort, exploring the location of the villas... and we played scrabble many times, haven't played the game for a long long time.... overall, it was a relaxing trip =)
went to JB with mum and bro on wed, after accompanying my mum to her med appt... we ate at the Season's cafe at City square, its like Swensen's.. and they also had 1-for-1 lunch promotion over there.. So we had 2 main courses, namely fish and chips, and black pepper seafood pasta, for only RM20! thats like, around SGD8? hahah other than eating, we din do much there, since we always go...
had wanted to go and try the Jap dessert buffet at Bugis with Deary on Thurs, but on that morn just had no mood to eat buffet haha.. so after going to Megatax IT fair at Expo, we proceed to Peninsular S.C. to collect deary's free Manchester United jersey... then we walked around city hall area, and got an oldies CD compilation as his dad's bday present... we then walked to Bugis Iluma, in search for the new KOI bubble tea~ the queue was really long. haha but we still queued... first time trying the chocolate milk tea, its very sweet, but has a rich choco taste =)
meet up with wanying on fri, or rather, i visited her at her house.. then drove her to CGH for appt, and then drove her to my house for durian ahha.. fun day driving around...
