Airasia is having its zero fare promotion for international flights. After hours of refreshing and re-entering details and choosing seats, I finally got myself a ticket to Perth, Australia on 20-27 April 2010 and managed to get seats next to ms Aree as well.

Total Damage : RM502. Score!

Now i have another year to save up money for spending. yey

What did you guys do last weekend? A friend of mine invited me to follow him to look for a waterfall somewhere near Ulu Yam. “Kita pegi cari, then balik la” were his words. So I didn’t bring baju at first so we had to turn back. -_- Not to mention I forgot to set my alarm so I overslept. Sorry about that :P

Anyway, we expected a longer trip but it was a mere 70KM from my house. Its after Jalan Sungai Tua. Directions : “Once we reach the end of Jalan Sungai Tua, we turn right following the road sign.. Move straight for approximately another kilometer or so and we’re there.. Well the road was ok along the way, can say it was paved until the entrance of the falls entrance.. Unpaved for about 200m in the middle, but the road was ok“

At first the river didn’t look very impressive but after we walked up higher, there was a waterfall and a quite nice pool where it was a bit deeper. The water was very cold and nice. We ended up staying for a few hours. Looks like a good place to BBQ and lepak ramai2. Will plan one soon

I’ll be going to Kuching for a few days in January for my cousin’s wedding. I’m hoping to be able to lepak with my friends there – someone wants to belanja me tequila to try and get me drunk. Haha!

Obviously I shouldn’t go back home to my aunty/uncle’s place after clubbing right? I wonder if I should go rent a room with my friends to lepak2 after clubbing then they also wouldn’t hv to drive back.

I was searching through this website – CompareHotel.com.my – that searches for the cheapest hotel rates online based on location. You just key in a city that you want to search and put in the dates. Then they will search for online hotel fees and display it in MYR.

Nice yea? Hotels in Kuching are around RM200, give or take. Hilton Hotel is around RM190 and Holiday Inn is around RM180. For KL hotels, It ranges from RM100 and up.

So, any suggestions for a place in Kuching?

p/s: CompareHotel.com.my is looking for bloggers to help in their sponsor a child program. Do help :)

I have some friends who ask me what are my plans now that I’ve already graduated. The standard answer I’ll give is “dok umah tunggu org dtg meminang.” LOL! Yea rite! As if I want to get hitched so early. Not that I have any calon yet, so yea.

In all seriousness tho, the past few days has been filled with lots and lots of mamak sessions (sometimes even going out at 3am), clubbing nights out (and only coming home at 4-5am) and also sleeping (a girl needs her rest too :P).

This whole month I’m on a break from doing anything so this is my time to enjoy. In September I’ll be attending a two month course on PHP & MySQL sponsored by MDeC at KLCC. Perfect timing, I would say.

Will be going to PD on Friday night with the gang for Alang and Ira’s wedding. Sounds like its goinna be a huge sleepover with lots of ppl bunking in one aprt. LOL! Will be back Saturday night. On Sunday is another kenduri kawin of a forum friend in Cheras, then at night Cass P invited me for dinner at Ampang. Busy weekend ahead, I know.

Long term wise, my frens and I are planning to take a trip down to Langkawi (this one ntah jadi ke tak but I’m up for it) in mid Dec. Then end of Dec to the New Year I’m going to Kuching for my cousin’s wedding (kawin lagi?) with the family. And Jan-Feb next year is the trip to Koh Phangan with the girls.

Yes, busy busy months ahead :D

p/s: Its my birthday next month so do start saving for my present. LOL!

We woke up so early on the morning of the wedding. Started to get ready around 5.30am. Jofanna and George from Jofanna Bridal was early to do the hair/makeup (and photos). Then soon after Benny (BennyLiew.com) came to take photos of the preparation.

Lets let the pictures tell the story aite?

The dress and shoes. I love the dress!

Been a while since i wrote a proper post. Many things are going through my head and in my life now. Good things, not-so-good things, life changing things. Nothing life-threatening or dangerous tho.

My trip to KK was a blast (will write about Mag’s wedding and our Manukan Island Getaway soon). It was a great way to get away from everything that was happening in KL. Someone was really surprised I was in KK (coz I didn’t tell lots of ppl that I was going) so much so that he remarked, “wah, jauhnye membawa diri?” to which I just laughed. But honestly, it was a great opportunity to spend time with old friends like Mag, Tim, Derek and Rach and also meet new ones like Megan & Benny. Should have stayed there longer but finances did not permit it.

Came back on a Friday evening to KL. Rested the whole of Saturday then went to Kuala Kangsar for Puteri’s and Poker’s.opps..Aznin’s kenduri. I slept most of the way there and coming back. It was a really nice and simple wedding. Its the first time I was early to a kenduri. LOL! (Note to self : NEVER let Afdzal drive long distance if I’m chipping in for the fuel. He drives really really fast and the petrol also finishes really really fast. I think we spent more than rm50 on fuel alone)

I *might* be taking a 2nd degree. Umm.studies aren’t looking too good now. Don’t want to talk about it :(

On another note, I went to Centro (its this club in KL Central) last nite with my two of my classmates and friends. A girls night out with lots of dancing, sweating and drinking.  After that we lepaked at Pelita Bangsar – which at first I tot was Pelita at Jln Ampang then had to pusing back to Bangsar.

My review on Centro (since its my first time there). The area is pretty big with a big platform as the dancefloor. The bar was right in the middle so not much pushing and shoving to get your drinks. The price of the drinks was also not that bad : 1 glass Black Label + ginger ale (was very happy they had ginger ale – weirdly some clubs don’t) = RM 25.30 and 2 tequila shots = RM18 each. The DJ was not bad – R&B songs most of the night then house/techno music after 2am or so. Parking is also really convinient (a big plus!) and only RM4. Sorry, no pics this time. Too lazy to take photos plus my feet were killing me.

Have a great weekend ahead people!

Sunday – 6 July

I got Derek to pick me up and we went to church (Yea yea, so I went to church even tho I never go here in KL) then went for lunch with Uncle Yapp and friends.

One thing that I have been craving to eat/drink in Kota Kinabalu is Yoyo. Its this milky tea (zhen zhu nai cha) with those sago ‘pearls’. KL has it but its not nice. So Derek brought me to Yoyo in Lintas and I also gave Rachel a ring to meet up as well. We wanted to drag Garret along but he was sleeping and didn’t pick up the phone.

Doesn’t Derek look like a cute adorable kid? Rach has this weird expression tho

We sent Derek’s car back home and Rach drove us to Tanjung Aru Beach. They renovated the place since I last came to KK. Its much much nicer and properly developed now. It was oh so very hot as well.

Relaxing in the park. Gorgeous beach ey?

We had a rather early dinner at 6-7pm at Little Italy. Omg! I SOOOO love the sandwhich they have here. This is the only place to get it. Their pizzas are really nice as well. Full review here in my Zestful Eats blog.

After dinner, Rachel sent me back to Mag’s place where I found them arranging the seating arrangements. Slept early because the next day will be a busy day – the day before the wedding!

Day 1 – 5th July

I arrived safely in Kota Kinabalu around noon-ish and was picked up by Tim. Oh, before that, when I was on the way to LCCT, Mag gave me ring and said,

“Fi! I have a disease!”

Then I replied, “Huh?!? Chickenpox?!?”

“No.I have dengue.”

“WHATTT?!?!?!?!”

Apparently she contracted dengue from her officemate and was feeling feverish for a few days before finally doing a bloodtest and was confirmed dengue. Her body was full of rashes and she was just getting better from her fever. Poor girl!

Anyway, Tim picked me up from the airport and we went to the house, rested for a bit then went out to La Meridien for some lucky draw thingy for all the people who signed up for their bridal package. There was some free eats too :P

So nice yea the sample decoration for the wedding dinner later? The couple won dinner for two at Le Meridien. Grand prize was a flight to Phuket and accommodation at Le Meridien Phuket.

Came back and I took a nap then woke up for dinner, socialized with the family then went back to bed.

• Arrived safely in Terminal 2, Kota Kinabalu around noon. I had this splitting pain above my left eyebrow when we were landing. Almost had tears in my eyes. It was that painful. I usually never experience that. Must be the lack of sleep.
• Tim picked me up and we went to Mag’s place, chit chatted for a while before going out to Le Meridian, Kota Kinabalu because there was this lucky draw for ppl who were getting married there. There was also snacks and previews of the food
• Came back took a nap and then woke up, had dinner, chit chatted with the relatives and then now sitting in front of the pc checking my mail and blogging.
• Going to bed soon, going to my old church tomorrow. I got Derek to pick me up :P
