This post is supposed to be posted up LAST NIGHT unfortunatly, the internet died on me. *cries*
3rd March 2011
Man, how I wish I could post up some of my photos here. Unfortunately, I don't have a card reader with me to upload photos. uuuuhhhhh Q.Q
but...
I must say, its interesting here. And there's a lot of things to see, I really love the lifestyle.. and FOOD of course. I really love those jackets and cardigans sold here. *cougheventhoughIcantafforditcough* lol
Its my Day 3 here in Melbourne, the first day was me trying to adjust to the climate here. I thought I was gonna freeze to death lol. It was 17 degrees and my body is trembling from the cold wind. The people here can wear short skirts and pants, which is awesone because they're able to withstand the wind O.O! Man... the first thing we did was find something to eat lol. And the first thing I ate in Melbourne, Australia was... a plate of sushi. LOL!
Ahem,
So far in our trip, we visited St. Patrick's Cathedral... its a HUGE church O.O! Its beautiful too. Bought some souvenirs here. Well my grandma did though. I didn't lol but there's one that really caugh my eye... the Christ's Story handmade bracelet. Its so beautifully made... I really really want one. Q.Q but its so expensive... *sob*
After that we went to St. Vincent's plaza, where Tasia is taking her lectures. We didn't get to meet up with her there though. We w alked around the compound and decided to eat at a nearby cafe. The croissant was really really nice. Mmmmm~~~ hahaha~ I had lasagna too. Its not bad XD my grandma wants rice lol
I really love the tram system here in Melbourne, it really makes things easier for us to travel around the city. And good thing too, if not my grandma wouldn't be able to keep up with us lol because its so far to walk to Nicholson Street, which is where the Melbourne museum is located lol. We got lost going there lol going on the wrong tram haha luckily its 'free' lol~
Sigh... I really REALLY wish I can post up some pictures. I guess I'll just have to wait until I get back then...
Well, I'll be going now. I need my rest for my adventure the next morning! WHOO HOO!!!
Ciao ciao~~

Finally Finished Packing~!
I'm finally done with my packing, the last minute ones anyway. The major ones I've already packed yesterday. I can't really think straight right now coz my brain is not allowing me to think straight. Judging from the way I'm typing away like a crazed person, and I know I had typos, WHICH I managed to backspace and retype again for your convenience. If I don't, then you guys will be reading jumbled words and letters. lol~~
Anyway, I'm now ready and waiting for my uncle to pick us up to go the airport. I've left my kitten at Roland's house... he's helping me take care of it for a week. Its too small to be left alone at home without any supervision. (' ^ ');;
Who's gonna take care of the house you say? My uncle and his family. That's what I heard. Didn't ask for more details. I kept all my important stuff in my room... hopefully nobody will go and mess with my stuff when I'm not here =.=
Sigh... I don't have enough sleeeeepppp... I'm definitely going to sleep when I'm on the plane. Orz must... try... not... to...faint... on.... the.... way.... to.... the.... airport.... ORZ
uuuuhhhhh.... sorry, I know I promised my blog challenge entry... but I'll try to post while I'm at Melbourne. But no guarantee though. XP
Alright, until then. See ya~

Packing, Packing and more Packing!
Aww man, I'm suppose to post another challenge right? So sorry...sigh... I've just came back from an outing from my hlaws budz. Kelvin, Charlotte, MoEna and Roland. All of us with the exception of Charlotte went to Japanese Class together and decided that we wanted to hang out first before we head back home. We made an impromptu plan, and that is going to McD (Makudonarudo in Japanese. I know sounds ridiculous lol~) to have our dinner.
I've been up since 7am today... uuuhhh... T^T because I have class early in the morning. And then I have to go for my Japanese class at 1pm, which lasted until 5pm. Orz my power bar went doooowwwwnnnnnn. I feel so tireddddd. Orz
I just remembered I have to design a banner for my group. *brain shuts down* can't do this right now. Orz
And so....
We went to have dinner together and then decided to go visit Perdana Park to watch the Musical Fountain. Unfortunately, the place is seriously packed with cars AND people, and I PERSONALLY don't like crowded places. ^^;; So I suggested that we all go play Left 4 Dead 2 together to kill time and for old times sake and everyone agreed. Yay~!
At around 9.20pm, we stopped playing because Charlotte have to leave to pick up her brother. Nonetheless, we all had fun. I know I'm the loudest of them all when playing the LAN game lol~ I seriously can't help it. Tee-hee~~
Here I am now at home... typing away on my blog, talking about nonsense... and I still haven't started packing for Melbourne yet. My luggage is all but naught, sitting there all by its lonesome in my living room, just waiting for me to fill its stomach... sigh... ahh poetry... maybe I'll start packing tomorrow. I'm so not in the mood to pack right now, don't feel like going to Melbourne, honestly. Sigh...
Alright~~ until tomorrow~~ probably will have time to blog the next challenge tomorrow~~ XDD
Until then, peeps. Ciao ciao~

Finale China trip~
mmm i just thought that i should just finish the china trip story once and for all you know? hahahha coz we didn't do much during the final two days hahahaha
Day 6 - Windows of the World, Shenzhen
we canceled on the trip to lotus hill... coz victor said it was 45 minutes up a flight of stairs hahaha i wanted to go coz its a chance for me to go exercise but unfortunately group B wanted to go shopping instead hahahaa
so the day started with breakfast, yes i know you guys are tired of me saying that over and over again lol but so what lol we didn't have any program that morning, so my mom and me went to get breakfast and then go down the street to go sightsee and shop hehehe
mmm but half way through that i got tired and irritated coz my rashes are really bothering me... the heat and humidity is really bad... and because i have sensitive skin i easily got rashes.... ugh... and at that moment, i feel like going back to the hotel and take a long COLD bath... man i gotta tell you... the sun even though its still early in the morning... God... it was HOT! and i can't breathe because its so crowded =.= uuhhhh
and so yeah my mom sent me back to the hotel and she went off to the shopping street again with some other friends. sorry mom i could accompany you >.<
so in the afternoon, victor went to pick us up to show us where we're going to have lunch. we went to the restaurant by foot lol and we passed lots of shops, you've guessed it, its the shopping street~ lol
after lunch, 8 people from group B went to the Windows of the World.... where all the landmarks of each countries are miniaturized and placed in the park! whoooo~~~ we went there by the subway...
i took a picture with the eiffel tower!! ...in china lol but still.... its the eiffel tower! lol someday i wanna visit paris... hehehe we only have 2 hours that day to walk around the park...i think we've only looked at half of the attraction.. i wish i had the whole day there =.= but i must say, going to see the real thing is so much better rather than just looking at the miniature lol
mmm some of it is miniaturized and some of it like the eiffel tower is built almost as tall as the real eiffel tower hehe it was an amazing experience hahaha i hope someday i'll be able to go travel to these countries =D
mmm after that, we went back to the hotel and then again walk to the restaurant for our dinner... and that's the end of Day 6~
Day 7 - Shenzhen - Kota Kinabalu
well nothing much to say here actually... heheh i'm just glad that we're going back home... i already miss home and my cat, renji XP and of course i miss playing with my lovely cousin, tasia hahaha
and so that's the end of the china trip story =D
i'm so happy to share hehehehe but for now... ciao ciao~~

Orz Day 5 - China Trip
and here i'm suppose to finish my china trip story lol and i'm having trouble to even remember some of the trip... and the days O.O!!
Day 5 Guangzhou - Shenzhen
hmmm let me see... the story starts with breakfast lol as usual. damn... i'm so fat hahahaha! but who cares at this moment. i was hungry XP
so anyway, the first thing we did after breakfast was going to see the statue of the five rams of guangzhou. it is the symbol of the city and hence the nickname rams city =D
there's nothing much to see at the place we just have to go up some stairs to get to the ram statue. the place where the statue is at is actually a park where people play badminton, do their taichi and jog. just like the one we have in bukit padang, KK hahaha but i think the tun fuad park is better coz... its bigger i guess hahahha (<<
and so... after that we head to our next destination, the jade shop hehehehe not really a fan of jades... haha but well since its in the tour itinerary so yeah go along with it. so when we arrived there we were greeted with some of the workers, we don't have a translator there, they can't communicate in english... mmm i think halfway through the explanation the boss and his translator came in and everything make sense again~ hahahaha the translator knows how to speak in malay so uuh yeah lol~ and then the shopping starts.... again... ^^"
after jade shopping we now head to a place where they sell chinese meds, and what do you know? they have their own consultant. according to our tour guide victor, these chinese doctors can tell anything that's causing you discomfort just by the touch of their hands! O.O! ahem... well i for one had a hard time believing that... hahahaha i believe in science! i believe in real doctors~~ hahaha
mmmm well my mom bought some medicine... i'm afraid it was my fault also hehe ^^" coz this chinese doctor said that if my mom's not treated she'll have to go under the knife and i think my mind went to the cliff and jump when i asked her to just buy it for her health... Orz.... sigh after buying the medicine we head to our next destination and that is the silk shop
..... look at all those little wormies!!! ...uhh yeah we arrived at the shop and the first thing that they let us see was the little worms that makes silk! lol~ i think its cute... hahahaha~ and then we get to see how they make comforters hahaha and we get to touch the silky smooth blanket and bedsheet~ mmmm.... so soft~ hahahaha
mmm after that i think we went to have lunch... then vroooooommm~~~ back to shenzhen!
arrived at shenzhen, went to the shopping street. my mom and i didn't buy anything... hahaha planned to buy an imitation iphone but oh well lol i decided not to.... ugh i should have =.=
so anyway... after the little excursion at the shopping street, we went to have dinner and then back to the hotel~
alright~ done with day 5~~ hoorah!
ciao ciao for now O.O

Day 4 China FINALLY
you know? i have to write this in a CC...ugh my connection is getting suckier....and suckier.... Orz i think i should change the broadband provider...ugh =A=
but anyway i'll continue the story before i forgot any details lol and i wanna write this quick too lol i don't want to be looking over my shoulder to see if anyone is looking at me while i write lol~
Day 4 - Zhuhai - GuangZhou
lets see we start the day with breakfast as usual... and without me realizing it... i'm getting fatter. i can feel the fats! RAWR! anyway i better continue writing before i start babbling about my weight issues.... again. ugh okay so we went for breakfast and then catch a ride... no lar kidding lol a bus is provided for us to travel to guangzhou. i think it takes about 2 hours from zhuhai to guangzhou. see i told you putting off the story too long makes me forget the details! Orz
but i do remember, we did a few stops on the way haha and the amazing thing is the driver don't even know where we're going if not for a small device called the GPS i'm sure we'll all be lost somewhere in china by now~ lol its kinda cool hahhaa but enough about me and my fetish for gadgets.
we did a few stops the first was to a tea house and you guessed it! they sell teas! and my mom is absolutely obsessed with chinese teas lol and i only know two kinds of tea, okay maybe three kinds and that is the green tea, chinese tea (not defined. sold commercially in restaurants and cafes in kk) and oolong/wulong? lol i have no preference over teas to me they all taste the same lol
but i guess i changed my opinion about teas when i tried the 4 kinds of teas at the tea house. the first one is the oolong tea (or the black dragon tea), the second is uhh... let me recall...oh yeah white tea and then ginseng tea (blech...) and lastly the lychee tea.
the oolong tea tastes really nice, it smells nice too lol first you pour the tea inside a small cylinder cup and then transfer it to a smaller flatter cup (the normal cup we usually see chinese people use for drinking tea on TV). you'll uhh... smell the aroma of the tea first before enjoying the tea. it is how the chinese people do it. and i admit the tea smells so nice~ mmmm~
and then the white tea... at first it tastes bitter and it doesn't really appeal to me but a few minutes later when you wash your mouth with warm water you can taste the remnants of the white tea's sweetness. mmm~ hahaha
and then the ginseng tea.... one word...blech.... only for those who likes bitter stuff...ugh... me? i'm a sweets person therefore...yuck.
lastly the lychee tea... to put it simple... the tea tasted like lychee lol~
okay once the shopping for tea is done we all head to our next destination~ and that is to a bee....house? lol
we went to a very educational tour (even though its hard to get information with a poorly translated...data) we learn how bees are harnessed to produce honey~ lol and we get to sample the products created from the honeybee's honey
the products that we are allowed to try was the royal jelly and ice honey tea lol both of them tastes good. the honey drink comes with a lot of flavours apparently lol
my mom bought a big...glass bottle of royal jelly... they say if you take half a spoon of this... and you'll maintain your youth? pft lol okay i don't make sense
oh yeah the program is a good thing too now we know how to differentiate real honey from the honey that they add sugar in... lol but that can only be done if you open the cap and pour a small amount of it on a flat plate and add water and uhh...slide the water back and forth. you can see if its real honey, the shape of the bees' nest will appear on the plate / tray if not...then its not the real one lol
another cool fact, if you use the steel spoon / metal spoon to scoop out honey from its bottle then the property inside the honey will be different i guess because the chemical from the spoon is interfering with the honey's... good properties? lol so from now on if you wanna take honey from your jar please use a plastic spoon~
another cool fact is uhm... if you put your jar of honey inside the fridge it'll turn to sugar instead of honey hahaha because i know we usually put them inside the fridge because kita suma takut dia bangas bah kan? hahahha!
alright after visiting the bees we are back on the road to guangzhou~ on the way we went through the humen (the tiger's gate/door? direct translation lol) bridge. the bridge is apparently the first bridge that crosses over the sea. i think it was funded by the millionaire from macau... or was it hong kong? but i'm pretty sure its from macau because my brain says the guy is related with casinos lol so yeah i made an assumptions lol
oh yeah the condition of the road from zhuhai to guangzhou is surprisingly good (better even from KK! =.=). so the ride was smooth and i was able to sleep soundly... and i hope i didn't drool all the way to guangzhou LOL!
uhm we arrived at guangzhou around 7pm and we went directly to a restaurant to have our dinner so after that we were sent to our hotel
so there you have it day 4 of my china trip~ sorry for the late update... my internet connection is seriously killing me!
i hope i can update soon... and i hope my connection will get better... because i have a bunch of stuff needed to be downloaded ugh....
ciao ciao for now!
but anyway i'll continue the story before i forgot any details lol and i wanna write this quick too lol i don't want to be looking over my shoulder to see if anyone is looking at me while i write lol~

Day 3 of China Trip
i know you all noticed how i skipped a lot posts before posting this one... tee-hee~ i just got bored and decided to mess around~ ..... its 3a.m. time to get crazy me to bed...NAO!
but before that I shall proceed with the events happening in Day 3 of the 7 Days trip to China... whoo peee~~
Day 3 (Hong Kong - Macau - Zhu Hai (Pearl Sea))
All we did in Hong Kong was.... wake up, ate breakfast (dim sum yay!!) and zoom! to the hong kong - macau border... ugh...dragging our luggage...along...ugh...we're going to another country... *sighhhhh* ryan had to leave us early because he had a scheduled work with another group of tourist. we thanked him and we're really glad that he's our tour guide hehehe and his english is great, his pronunciation is good... he's a little better than victor... honestly, he's WAY better than victor hahaha but we only had him for a day... oh well. so we are headed to the immigration office early in the morning...
the other tour guide... i can't recall his name... SORRY! bought us tickets.. we're going to macau via ferry! hahahaa and so we went through immigration again just like yesterday. after the long queue we all waited at Hall 5 for the ferry. makes me feel like going from labuan to kk hahaha only... the ferry harbour office is much much... cleaner... and...much more sophisticated.
after a half and hour of waiting we are called to board the ferry, the inside of the ferry was amazing, its so spacious and it looks like the inside of an airplane! hahaha they serve you food like they serve you food on the plane! ...ahem.i get excited over simple things like this hahaha
it took about an hour to arrive at macau... and took another half an hour to go through immigration again. ugh.
everything in macau was rushed because the tour guide didn't expect us to come out late... uuhh... and so everything is rushed... therefore i shall rush this through too! lol
tour guide: cinderella or cindy
group: still B
location: macau
we start our tour in macau at... st paul's burnt down cathedral... hmm... there's a crypt! ...it freaked me out when i first entered the room lol you can hear the sound of the father preaching is sermons and singing a hymn... yes its creepy lol and there's also an art room... i think for anything that's related with christ.
we spent a short time on sight seeing here... hahaha but someone went missing... the tour guide went berserk! lol there's this boy named spencer in our group and the person missing is his father. the tour guide asked him to help her find him and so the search went on. all the other team members are all there except for him hahaha
after another 10 minutes, we finally found him sitting under the shades while we stood under the hot scorching sun for him lol and the tour guide asked him to please tell anyone on the group in case he wants to wander off again lol and from that day onwards. we now call the guy the Father lol
and so we move on to the next destination... lets see... i think we went to a small bakery store and a souvenir shop lol there's this cake in this bakery called the wife cake and the husband cake. the wife cake will taste sweet because girls are sweet. awww~~ that was an easy guess as for the husband cake.... here's cindy's explanation lol... he said when guys see pretty girls, they salivate and thus the husband cake is... salty lol! we get to taste the two cakes and other cookies too hahaha and we bought some for home and.... for eating on the way...hehehe~
next is lunch... and that's in a CASINO! ....i've never been into a casino before... hahaha! the inside of the casino is so... damn nice! .....but before that... the guard stopped me from going in.... because they thought that i was below 18! O.O! they asked for my passport or ID! ....i'm so sad... i'm 22 years old! come onnnnnnn.... T^T
....after that was over... we head for a buffet lunch... the food is GOOD! hahaha! oh the place is called the City of Dreams casino hehe i can see all those slots, those poker tables and people gambling just like on TV lol its great XD
after the lunch, we looked around the casino... i was tempted to play... hahahaha! but i better not... coz i get addicted pretty easily ...hehehe... Orz
onto the next destination, and that is the Venetian! Yes! Its exactly the same as the Venetian in Vegas baby! hahahaha all i can say is.... wow... how i wish i could post the photos here. but the photos taken in Venetian is not taken by our own camera... our ran out of battery *cries*
....moving on... the next destination is...the Ah Ma Temple? ahahha i think that was the next destination... and so we went there to see yet another bakery store... and it was said they sell the famous... macau made cake... and i forgot what's it called lol didn't store it into memory... hahaha! all i know is there's a lot of eggroll cookies and crispy pork lol
we are suppose to be touring the temple but instead we decided to go see the store...lol
the ah ma temple is located at an older part of macau, the previous stops were all modern and the building are high rise. as we cruise through the narrow roads to the temple, we can see a lot of houses built on the foot of the a hill and the design is just like those Portuguese houses on tv... i wished i took some pictures... ugh...
and then after that we are headed.... to the macau - zhu hai border....*cries*
to put it into summary:-
1. dragged our luggage to the entrance
2. got into the immigration office
3. dragged our luggage again to a very long queue
4. inspection
5. pass the border to zhu hai, mainland china
and all that only took us around 45 minutes. tee-hee~
we saw victor again lol and we had dinner before heading back to the hotel... and after that, we are suppose to go to the shopping street in zhu hai... but some of the group members are tired so victor suggested that only those who want to go should come down to the lobby after putting their luggage into their room. my mom and i decided to stay in the room... hahaha we were so tired and my mom wanted a massage... luckily there's one inside of the hotel hahaha
alright... i think that's all for day 3

ciao ciao
but before that I shall proceed with the events happening in Day 3 of the 7 Days trip to China... whoo peee~~
Day 3 (Hong Kong - Macau - Zhu Hai (Pearl Sea))
All we did in Hong Kong was.... wake up, ate breakfast (dim sum yay!!) and zoom! to the hong kong - macau border... ugh...dragging our luggage...along...ugh...we're going to another country... *sighhhhh* ryan had to leave us early because he had a scheduled work with another group of tourist. we thanked him and we're really glad that he's our tour guide hehehe and his english is great, his pronunciation is good... he's a little better than victor... honestly, he's WAY better than victor hahaha but we only had him for a day... oh well. so we are headed to the immigration office early in the morning...
the other tour guide... i can't recall his name... SORRY! bought us tickets.. we're going to macau via ferry! hahahaa and so we went through immigration again just like yesterday. after the long queue we all waited at Hall 5 for the ferry. makes me feel like going from labuan to kk hahaha only... the ferry harbour office is much much... cleaner... and...much more sophisticated.
after a half and hour of waiting we are called to board the ferry, the inside of the ferry was amazing, its so spacious and it looks like the inside of an airplane! hahaha they serve you food like they serve you food on the plane! ...ahem.i get excited over simple things like this hahaha
it took about an hour to arrive at macau... and took another half an hour to go through immigration again. ugh.
everything in macau was rushed because the tour guide didn't expect us to come out late... uuhh... and so everything is rushed... therefore i shall rush this through too! lol
tour guide: cinderella or cindy
group: still B
location: macau
we start our tour in macau at... st paul's burnt down cathedral... hmm... there's a crypt! ...it freaked me out when i first entered the room lol you can hear the sound of the father preaching is sermons and singing a hymn... yes its creepy lol and there's also an art room... i think for anything that's related with christ.
we spent a short time on sight seeing here... hahaha but someone went missing... the tour guide went berserk! lol there's this boy named spencer in our group and the person missing is his father. the tour guide asked him to help her find him and so the search went on. all the other team members are all there except for him hahaha
after another 10 minutes, we finally found him sitting under the shades while we stood under the hot scorching sun for him lol and the tour guide asked him to please tell anyone on the group in case he wants to wander off again lol and from that day onwards. we now call the guy the Father lol

China Trip...?
hahaha yes yes I'm late with updating AGAIN. Anyway, before i start babbling more nonsense let start Day 2!!
Day 2 (ShenZhen City to Hong Kong City)
God I can't remember how long since I have to wake up THIS early! All of us have a 5:30 a.m. morning call! Reminds me of the highschool days where I have to wake at 5 in the morning... *sigh* ... so nostalgic... okay, okay, i'll get going with the activities then lol
We all have to wake up early because we are heading to the border of Shenzhen-Hong Kong its not too far... its just that we need to get breakfast and get going lol we took off to the immigration office with our guides we have to climb stairs... with our luggage! i guess that's what we call a morning exercise =.= and when we reached the entrance we have to wait for our tour guides from HK. They'll be crossing the border to mainland China to see us in lol but the tour guides from mainland can't crossover to HK without a visa. Its just like going to another country lol
Bought water and took pictures while waiting for them and when they're finally there, we were brought into the immigration office to let them check our visas and get out of mainland China lol. And so after we all did the visa thingy we all got on a tram bus and head to the HK...immigration office... =.= ugh... because we need to go into HK. I remember we wasted almost half a day going through immigration lol
I just remembered there's only a short bus ride from the mainland China border to the HK immigration office and then from the immigration office to a tram bus station and all of it are very very short rides lol. Probably it have something to do with... China driving on the wrong side of the road lol it took time getting used to lol HK drives on the same lane as us Malaysians lol so no problem at all.
And so... at around 11am i think... we all are ready to go for the HK tour! ....we didn't visit Disney Island... or the Ocean Sea Park... so...saaaadddd T^T...its because we only have a day to tour hong kong and we didn't have time to go see all those parks *sob*
uhh so we started the HK tour with lunch... and somehow I don't really remember what we had eaten...hmm... lol so after lunch we head to Repulse Bay, the bay where the people of HK fought against Pirates! Yaarr!! Hmm we passed by Jackie Chan's former house? lol and then we arrived at the Bay... its very beautiful, the sandy white beach... and the view is nice too (but i have to admit, Sabah's beach view is even nicer lol) we went to see statues of....uhh... Goddess of the Sea, Goddess of Mercy and the God of Wealth... hmm if I got it right lol~ after a photo up and smelling the sea...me and my mom heads back up to the entrance where, Ryan, our tour guide told us to go.
Back at the entrance, we saw a 7-11 shop and decided to shop a few snacks and drinks hahahah and i got myself a Haagen Daaz! Its actually pretty cheap in HK O.O i guess its because all of the stuff in Hk are... tax free lol Oh man... the ice cream....was gooooood lol I know I'll never buy it in KK coz its so dan expensive even for a small... cup =.= ugh
I think we went to Victoria's Peak next, all I can say is... the view is gorgeous! And the watches there extremely cheap! I wish i bought the HK T-shirt... ugh... there's always a next time i guess.... *super sad!* Victoria's Peak is a must see attraction of HK because i think its sorta like their landmark lol (but i think their landmarks are those very very very tall buildings)
Next was the Jewelery store lol to me there's really nothing much to see in a jewelery store lol because i guess i have no interest in it hahaha but its nice to see beautiful gems on the rings, bracelet...watches lol so yeah and that's about it lol and they teach you about white gold and how golds are made... stuff like that and you get to find out about your birthstone lol
oh i forgot to mention we are divided into 2 groups again.... throughout the whole trip lol
okay so next destination...was the Aberdeen Port... the Fishing village... where some of the people in hong kong live on their boats! so we went for a ride on one of the boats...its pretty interesting the lady told us (oh not all of us went...even the tour guide didn't come lol so this lady will be our tour guide hahaha) she had been living on the boat for...30 YEARS! omg... i can never live on a boat... a day or two maybe but 30 years? no i don't think so lol but anyway its quite interesting to know that people there still live in boats lol but as ryan had mentioned earlier before our arrival, the fisherman's village is going to be abolished soon... probably around 4 to 5 years time... it'll be gone from the map of HK.. well its certainly a sight to see...lol
.... i think the last destination is the....shopping street hahaha i'm having a hardtime remembering the street name but it is like Chow Kit Street in KL... a lot of stuff sold i guess i didn't get to see much coz my mom and i only went down for a....rest stop hahahaha and maybe looked at a few things... man my instinct told me to be careful that time... my heart was pounding...ugh... it was not a good feeling... and so we went back to the bus and there was someone following us... thank God the bus is near to us... if not we're gonna get in BIG trouble... he said he's going to Malaysia soon to teach at UM... can you believe that? OMG! What a load of crap seriously. *sigh* well the rest of the group shopped around for almost an hour lol me and my mom? we stayed in the bus lol we were pretty much shaken up because of the indian guy... he gives me the jeevies... =.=
and so after the little shopping spree we are headed to our hotel, the Panda Hotel! hahahaha where all the stuffed pandas are gathered (and there's two creepy ones by the piano...they keep watching me!!! yes i'm paranoid...mm hmmm...my mom rolled her eyes when i said this lol)
so we went up to our room...which was on the 26th/27th floor... OMG! OAO so...HIGH UP!! uuhhh well since my mom and i didn't get he chance to shop at the shopping street we did the shopping at the shopping mall which is...YES! right below of the hotel! weeeeeeee~~~ (bought two haagen daaz again XP so addictive!) we went to window shop basically... its almost 10 at night. we managed to buy perfumes and some other skin product at Sasa... they were having a clearance sale. and the for the rest of the shop... window shopping hahahah we stopped by 7-11 store...again lol to buy some water and...snacks hahah and then at exactly 10pm we went back to our room~~
end of Day 2 XD
until the next update

Retracing Complete... I think?
I know, I know... I promised I'll blog about China Trip hahahaha well you know me... I had no inspiration to write lol~ but today seems like I'm in a mood to write so... yeah... hahahaha alright here I go~
Day 1 (ShenZhen, Guangdong Province, China)
Arrived at the Airport, I was really excited! ....and a little anxious because it happened to be my first day of my monthly flux.... Orz and I didn't have ANY pad in my handbag during the 3 hour flight! OMG! I was seriously in the state of panic but luckily I was able to secure (what the hell? lol) one from the stewardess. Bless her kind soul lol
anyway~ We arrived at the airport waiting for our tour guide. I remembered the first thing that entered by mouth as soon as we landed... and that was water. They had a water machine? lol! ahem... anyway they had that thing damn... my vocabulary is seriously getting worse lol so my mom and i filled the water into our empty bottles... and i was really really thirsty and gulp! .... ugh... the water tasted like sewage water... =.='' i don't want to insult anybody but really! ... i'm not kidding! or... maybe its just me, hmm....
alright, alright i know i'm dilly dallying lol so we found our tour guides. Nancy and Victor. We are split into 2 groups because there are too many of us (52 people and all of us are from sabah and most of us are from penampang), Group A led by Nancy and Group B led by Victor. I'm in group B along with my mom lol. So we were led off to the bus and I remembered it was red and we have to go in... on the right side O.o ....yeah they all drive on the wrong side of the road O.O
We had our lunch (it was DELICIOUS! hhahaha) and we went directly to Splendor of China, where all the districts in China gathered in one park. There's a lot of things to see inside. Victor said its two hours walking... wow... don't think I have the heart or stomach to go walking in my condition lol. I didn't feel the pain of my first day yet... not until later... ugh...
When we first entered the Splendor of China... all i can see were... chinese umbrellas lol tied on the tree branches. Its really beautiful and i remembered i took pictures with my mom there hahaha. and then we went to ride a small train and explored the whole park. there's a lot of miniature buildings and landmarks of china. they are so incredibly cute hahaha and there's a miniature of the Great Wall of China too! hahaha! Its amazing... the wall seemed stretch almost around the park. Although its not the real thing but still it is an incredible sight to see hehehe via the train... we had only 3 stops... all of them are... not really as attractive as those that we've passed by... Orz but anyway its really enjoyable XD ...and HOT! ugh... i feel so restless... its hot and humid... and CROWDED!
ahem, i shall continue... the next show was the Mongolian Horse....war? hahaha its a show... of how the chinese people... fought against the monguls? well its in chinese, couldn't really translate it well lol but its a great show. you can see how the young people in china ride the horses skillfully... its awesome hahahaha before and after the show, they offered anyone that wanted to ride on the horse... with them... i'm not scared but... i'm not particularly... comfortable. A, I'm bleeding down there. seriously. and B, ....i don't think..i can stand the smell.... =.='' yeah... i'm a little...germ-a-phob =.= teruknya
yeah next~ .... is the uuhh... let me recall... The Dance of the Dragon and Phoenix. The show is at 7pm (oh china's time is also the same as Malaysian Time weee~ we don't have to change the time!) and we have to wait lol Victor told us that we can roam around the shopping street before dinner and we will all (Group B only) gather at the same spot, oooohhhhh rendezvous~ ,,,, ahem so yeah and this was the time i was REALLY REALLY in pain!! arghhhhh! My stomach hurts... my back hurts... my spine hurts.... and i was feeing weak, tired and anxious! ... and i was already sweating like a pig because of the heat.... and i could feel my rashes coming... ugh... the worse day of my life... so far. lol
I'll make it brief because we did absolutely nothing during the break time that Victor gave us lol! After a little shopping in Shopping street, we went for dinner. We had dinner at a little Tea House in the Shopping Street and after that... we headed to the uuhhh... Theatre to watch the... Dance of the Dragon and the Phoenix. I wish I bought the DVD, oh well =.= its 60 yuan! meaning its RM 30 per DVD O.O the price is quite steep imo.
The show is really... beautiful hahahah there's a lot of colours, lights, cinematics...costumes... a lot people...animals... a lot of stuff. happening in one show hahahah well its like watching a movie afterall it is... one and a half hour. During the show, I was still in pain. I feel really restless lol ugh how i wish i wasn't i wanted to enjoy the show without worrying about anything... ugh...
Hmm... after the show we left Splendor of China and headed to the hotel! THANK GOD! Oh one more fact, they call their hotels.... Jiu Dian if directly translated it means... Kedai Arak! or... Liquor Store O.O!!
The end of my first day in China lol Day 2 is a little more interesting... its because we are headed to Hong Kong! The pearl of the...Orient? hahahaha I always wanted to visit HK~
To be continued on the next post!
Ciao ciao for now~

The show is really... beautiful hahahah there's a lot of colours, lights, cinematics...costumes... a lot people...animals... a lot of stuff. happening in one show hahahah well its like watching a movie afterall it is... one and a half hour. During the show, I was still in pain. I feel really restless lol ugh how i wish i wasn't i wanted to enjoy the show without worrying about anything... ugh...
Hmm... after the show we left Splendor of China and headed to the hotel! THANK GOD! Oh one more fact, they call their hotels.... Jiu Dian if directly translated it means... Kedai Arak! or... Liquor Store O.O!!
The end of my first day in China lol Day 2 is a little more interesting... its because we are headed to Hong Kong! The pearl of the...Orient? hahahaha I always wanted to visit HK~
To be continued on the next post!
Ciao ciao for now~

Kundasang Trip 2
Hi Anthea! LOL! Yeah I do have a blog but I don't really update much XP procrastination is mah middle name~~ lol~ and I wasn't here for 7 days went to China. I shall blog about it after I end the Kundasang Trip story lol~ that is IF i don't insert random stuff and making it longer than usual hahahah~~
anyway here's DAY 2!
I actually woke up pretty early considering that i'm a nocturnal person lol~ i usually wake up so late in the afternoon XP and my mom always always nags about that particular habit lol~ sorry mom! haha anyway i woke up early coz i think i smelled...breakfast! yeah i did help a little bit in a kitchen. aunt regina did all the cooking and.... boiled eggs...boiled using a rice cooker ^^" aaaaanyway... we had breakfast and we all got ready to go to our next activity! PORING! (before that i shall insert some random stuff here tee-hee~ because its football season during this trip i was forced to watch football matches at night... and mind you i watched and it ain't pretty... you know why? i get frustrated when the team that i want to win... can't even score a goal! rawwwrrr OAO i don't hate football but i hate watching football hahahahhaa! ahem... moving on)
So the first activity was Poring! So we brought lunch and everything and Wong family was a-go! lalala~ convoy a few minutes later... we arrived at Poring. we found a nice little pondok to put our stuff and went to the springs~
tukang jaga kolam - me, eva, clarin and phelan (ruth ran away!)
tukang jaga pondok - most of the grown ups ^^"
tukang mandi - uhhh lets me recall.... ado, haiman, hafiz, farah, isaac, allen and raniel lol
and the rest went on doing their own business i guess lol i found out when we were going back to the car ruth and tasia went for a walk to the canopy...uuhhh they left me...all aloneeeee... well not exactly lol~
next program was uhhh... the Tagal Luanti fish hehehe
phelan drove by the way... we were leading the pack lol! anyway, my mom thought we were going the wrong way so we made a bet (RM100). we had a little debate going, a friendly one haha, my mom said its the wrong way, it should be the other way, the road going back to ranau... but we (me and my bro) said we're going the right way, the road going to sandakan. my mom was still not convince so yeah we made a bet lol and in the end we won LOL~ unfortunately the money was not given and split hahahaha!
well... when we arrived there... we...went...there...to....get...bitten....by....the....fish! ahem... lol not exactly bitten la hahahha i don't exactly now how to say this is english but.... in malay or in sabahan slang we say... 'tu ikan makan daki kaki kami bah' hahahaha! so yeah the whole family soaked their feet in the river to let the fish...uuhhh eat their.... 'daki' hahahah! ruth was a little squeamish at first but soon she got used to it? lol
next activity was not in the program hahahaha the sabah tea park or factory its quite near the tagal luanti river
the prado team now includes ruth~ hahaha went to have a look at the sabah tea plantation... nothing much really coz the factory was closed T^T but anyway we had lunch there and the drinks there... lol mostly they are made with sabah tea for example if you ask for lemon tea you get lemon sabah tea hahahaha~ so yeah we had lunch there and then we head back to kundasang for our next activity.... which i shall explain later coz on the way back our car went dooonnnn.....lol the car hot or cold meter went from cold to HOT! luckily we managed to stop by the road in time before it went kaboom! =.='' palis palis.
oh and.... we were the last team to arrive at the TM resort check point... AGAIN! but we have a reason at least... the car's engine was hot and luckily there's a lot of bottled water inside the car and we were able to replenish the car's supply of nice cool water~ hahaha
so the next activity was the Desa Farm~ where all the fresh milk comes from~
miraculously we arrived first because my mom thought we were told to just go up the road to mesilau and meet up with the others at the desa farm lol (they waited at TM resort lol). the countryside view is awesome and it looks like we were in new zealand. me and ruth camwhored while waiting for the others to arrive... correction me, ruth and my bro lol
educational mode!
when everyone arrived we were introduced to the manager of the farm. he told us many things about cows the their milk's nutritional value... and how they make it and package it and ship it to the markets all over sabah hahahaha so after the well needed knowledge about cows we bought fresh milks and chocolate flavoured one to bring back to the hotel~
next is the dream world hotel and resort
its a newly built resort and damn the view! its so nice~~~! its so... picturesque~ lol can't believe i use that word. anyway, we went here just to take pictures. Khas untuk mengambil gambar sahaja lol after we left to our next destination~ (extra info: ruth said she wants to book the whole place for her wedding and we're all invited! weeeee)
Kinabalu Park!
we didn't do much in the park well... if we were to climb... i don't think i could ever make it lol coz i've gained a few kilos these few months... curse those yummy food rawr! so we took a few group and family pictures here. i love the scenery the sun going down but everyone was extremely tired from the previous activities lol but the pictures still turned out good hehehe
Going back to TM Resort and here comes the children activity lol
uuhhh lets see we went back to tm resort and apparently we have a few family games... for children lol its like GIRL vs BOYS! there were 5 games in total and all the kids have to join... and that includes me, ruth, phelan and roy lol but tasia was not there, she went back after the Tagal Luanti activity =(
we played 4 games and girls won by default lol. boys won the first game but girls won the next 3 games~ lol
game 1: uuhhh how should i explain this? i really suck at explaining things lol... uhm use anything that you have on your body and make a long long line including yourself! lol we have only 5 minutes to do everything if i'm not mistaken. (boys won)
game 2: all of our footwear were piled up and we were told to search and wear them without using any hands. whoever was the last one to get everything loses lol if a girl is the last one to come back to the group, the group will lose and vice versa... ah crap i suck at this lol (girls won)
game 3:
ping pong on a spoon lol you get the drift drop the ball from the spoon start over from the starting line lol (girls won!)
game 4:
the freeze game lol easy enough a,e,i,o,u FREEZE! (girls won lol)
game 5:
cancelled because the girls won by default hahahaha
after that we rest a while and then dinner~ that concludes day 2~~
....oh man... this post is so... bloody... LONG O.O

So anyway... here goes nothing....
Day 1
The Jumin/Justine Family (The Prado team includes me, my bro, mom and grandma) arrives late as usual at TM Resort hahahaha we stopped by the Nabalu Resort and Hotel to eat lunch. Although we did eat lunch at Inanam an hour and a half ago..... *sigh* there goes my New Year resolution *throws the scale over the mountain*
yeah where was I? yes we arrived late and we ate lunch and then we were spotted by Uncle Edie and Aunty Nancy (I'm suppose to call them Datuk and Nenek but.... well I'm not used to it XP They look to young to be a datuk nenek to me bah~)
okay so we finished the day by arranging where we sleep... me, my mom and my bro us slept in the living room and nenek slept with the Rav4 team consisting my uncle, his wife and their 3 children. Isaac, Allen and little baby Erica~ hahaha. Most of the rooms in TM Resort is booked by the Wong family lol and we lived in the room 201 its a house... a chalet? oh whatever lol. It has 2 rooms upstairs, one room with balcony, a store room and 2 bathrooms. kitchen and living downstairs (where i slept... for 2 nights hahaha~ don't get me wrong. its comfy~)
after all of us arrived at TM Resort with the Prado team being last... ^^" eheheh... we warmed up and went hiking! ahem... anyway we went up to perkasa hotel... its far... by foot O.O but its a good exercise. didn't get much exercise lately... hehe so yeah... we went up the hill and arrived there just to take pictures with mount kinabalu (i made the mountain sound like a celeb. what's wrong with me? O.O)! Only the view though lol~ (p/s: i scaled the mountain on FEB 2010. Yes I didn't blog about it huahuahuahau~~~ I didn't get a lot of pics. I guess I better shape up and take a lot of pics on my next climb! yoshhhh who's with me?!)
alright that concludes day 1. we didn't do much hahaha coz someone decided to be late XP
anyway I shall conclude this story... with... the teams~ lol not actual teams but its easier to identify ahhahaha~~
