Malacca Trip

This is gonna be a superb in-detail post about my Malacca trip. As to balance back the few emo posts I posted earlier lol.Yes, the Malacca trip! Finally I got vacation/holiday after the long await. The whole thing started from here..

..when the birthday girl, Jesz wanted something special than just ordinary dinner for her birthday celebration. And we all, me especially were very anticipated with the trip. After all, it was the first trip for the huge group of us and I really like to have vacation/holiday. Voting started and majority of us vote for Malacca! So Malacca is it! Have been waiting for day to day until the time it reach the actual date for the trip. Am very happy because I am going on a trip with all the people I loved. And it is a very good escape from the boring yet stressful weekend in INTI, although that I had rejected few promoter job offers because of the trip :p

Happy moments are there even before the trip itself. Pre-trip conversations and preparations with all my girls. They never failed to make me smile and laugh like an idiot in front of my laptop. These are posted on our event page the night before the trip. Reading all the posts made me excited for the trip.

The blurred print screen picture make me so irritated. I print screen the facebook page, then I paste it on Paint, then I crop the part I want with Mei Tu Xiu Xiu. Did I do it the wrong way? How come the pictures so blurry one? T__T

Before I officially started my lengthy post on the trip, let me introduce the members of the trip. There are total 12 of us.

If you are observant enough, there are 14 in the picture above. 12 names that written in black text color are those in the trip and the 2 odd one (blue text color) are those who unfortunately couldn't join the trip. But their heart and soul are together with us in the trip so I included their name and picture here =) Allison dear and Jianqin, we shall have another trip in future ok? =) And all the pictures used are from the members' Facebook profile picture. Since you girls can upload it as the profile picture then I guess it is ok for me to use the picture in my blog without permission :p no worries, you girls all look very pretty =D

And the day came. 24th March 2012. I woke at around 8am, as one of the friend will come fetch me up at around 9am. Turn out that when I woke, they still haven't depart from Subang. The big group first gathered at Subang and depart together. Since I am the only odd one, staying at Nilai, one of the car will come fetch me on the way to Malacca.

So these are my girls gathering in Subang before departing. I was not in picture, I was in my room waiting for them to fetch me, still lazying on the bed lol

The initial plan was gathering at Malacca toll at 10am and only one of the car will come in Nilai to fetch me. So every car have to arrange own time so they can reach Malacca toll by 10am. But then don't know how the plan changed. All the 3 cars gathered at Subang and departed from there together and came in Nilai together to fetch me. When my bestie called me, she said "Wear pretty pretty ar! All 3 cars are coming Nilai just to fetch you." I was like, "What?! Why all 3 cars came in? How come? How to wear pretty pretty oh? I am in my casual wear and flip flop!" Yes flip flop is it. Because you girls insisted that this was a casual trip so I was being casual enough to wear only flip flop for the whole trip. First time ever I will wear flip flop to a trip lol

Excuse me. This is a Malacca trip post but still I would like to insert few self-shot photo of mine. This is I was walking out to the main entrance of INTI to meet my besties because the security guards refused to let them in and I had to walk out to meet them. And yeah, the Hello Kitty spec was purposely bought for the trip, because I thought that it suits summer trip a lot! My most useless purchase ever lol 

And when I reach the entrance, I was so happy with the sight in front of me. 3 cars parked there awaiting for me and each and everyone inside the car were the people I loved. My sentimental moments were ruined when one of the boys asked "Limlim, can we go in use washroom ar? Urgent!" I was like =.= you guys didn't use the washroom before coming ar?!

And before I could say anything, they spotted the mamak shop just next to INTI and wanted to use washroom there. So here we drove to the mamak shop and stop there for toilet break. Or at least I thought it was a toilet break. I was happily chatting with my girls whilst waiting for the guys using the bathroom before I spotted Jovey and Kyle had enter the mamak shop, sat down and two glasses of teh ice were served in front of them. I was shocked to see how fast they got into the shop and ordered breakfast. I thought the stop at the mamak shop was just a toilet break! But then Symone said that they were whining for MacD even before departing from Subang so I guess they just can't stand the hunger anymore. So since there were two of us already having breakfast in the mamak shop, the rest of us just decided to join in =.= and had breakfast before continuing on the journey.

The 3 cars for the journey. From left to right : Myvi, Persona, City. Me is the lucky one sitting in Persona. Big hug for all the drivers! Sure tiring for you guys! I love you all! =D

Taken right before the journey started.The Myvi. All inside the car acted cool. Wind up the window when I wanted snap pictures =.=

Since Persona is the middle, I was able to take pictures of the cars at my left and right side. The pretties in City was smiling and giving flying kiss before the journey haha

Journey was great. We kept blasting song in the car. And kept discussing how to reach A Famosa without getting lost lol. Around 12pm++ we finally reached Malacca. First thing first was to check in the bungalow we rented. We planned to have bbq at night so all the ingredients and drinks have to be placed inside fridge. I was damn forgetful at the whole trip. I didn't really remember to snap much pictures in the trip so no pictures of bungalow we rented here. Or else I can even post up the picture of bathroom I used lol.

But still I don't care, I wanna show a bit of how the bungalow looked like. 

Erm this is kind of cheat one. Cause no one bother to take picture of the bungalow so erm, in the house: We are all in the living room discussing how to win a game on ipad.

This is the up-stair area with 3 rooms. Excuse me again, I was in the middle of the picture, hand posing the peace sign but the head don't know look at where, again.. Every time I was caught on camera with my hand already posting but the head is not looking at camera :/

So after resting a while in the bungalow, with some girls changed for prettier clothes and touch-up make up for the coming photo session, we headed to A Famosa. The entrance ticket to Animal World A Famosa had been bought earlier in matta fair so it was really cheap. Cost only RM20 for the ticket.

Heading from car park to Famosa.

Finally we were here!

Vain girl forgot to put on sun block so have to wear it at Famosa hahaha. Me smart enough to put on sunblock in the car! =P

Pay close attention to the paper that Jesz is holding! I drew that hahah! Jianqin can't join the trip because she had weekend classes and she was upset so we joke about bringing a cardboard with her name on it to Malacca! So it was like she was with us in Malacca. See I so nice, I didn't simply find a cardboard to write her name there ne. I draw nicely the cardboard for her.

Close-up shot for the cardboard! =D And I knew I spell Malacca wrong!

And in the animal park, of course all we saw are animals lo. Ponies, elephants, bunnies, sheep, birdies are everywhere lol. I was a bit disappointed because I can't see snakes anywhere!

The group photo taken while waiting for the show.

Girls in the house

After all the roaming around in animal park, we went for the must-have food in Malacca, satay celup. And don't simply go random satay celup shop. Must go to Capitol Satay Celup as they said, that is the shop serving nicest satay celup in Malacca. When we reached Capitol Satay Celup, there was already long queue there. Bestie assured me that the wait will worth. So we waited. For 2 hours. Yes, two hours before we can finally sit down and enjoy the dinner.

Excuse me, my solo shot again. Taken when we were queue-ing for the satay celup. All of us were thirsty so we went to buy herbal tea from the uncle selling just at the opposite road. Good business eh, uncle. A lot of people queue-ing bought herbal tea from him.

Finally after the painful 2 hours of waiting! Satay celup! Nom nom nom. Could not bother to take more photos because I was so hungry that time!

After satay celup, we went back to bungalow, to start on our next activity, bbq! So again the 3 cars departed. The car I was sat was the earliest to reach bungalow. But bad news that the key was not with us. It was with those sitting in City. And the City got lost! It was still roaming in the town when we already reached house. So the bungalow was scary at night, it was located far away from other bungalow and there was not lighting around. I don't like the idea to wait until City reached bungalow because I don't want to see anything funny that I don't wish to see because it will take at least half an hour so I suggested to go somewhere bright. Cowboy Town was very near to our bungalow so we went there and chilled.

Cowboy Town.

After City reached bungalow, we all went back to the bungalow. And quickly, the guys started to make all the bbq stuff because it was already very late. My first time in the history to have bbq at 11pm++ lol. I don't bother to go help la, let the guys did what they should lol =p

BBQ time! No one bother to snap pictures so this is among the very few pictures snapped during bbq.

And so after the bbq, and after all had take bath, it was time to sleep. I was placed to sleep with Ivy =D and Ivy, you've improved. Last time when you are tired, you will sleep-talk and kick me in your sleep. Now no more =D yay!

The next morning, my sleep was disturbed by Ivy's alarm, but I couldn't care much because I can easily fall back asleep. Until the dude from downstairs came knocking on our door asking for toothpaste =.= seriously, of all the 12 people in the trip, how many of you guys brought the toothpaste?

After all get ready, *I was the last to get prepared =(* we checked out and headed to the town for food hunting! First food ever to come to mind is..

..chicken rice? Sorry I don't know the exact name for this. But it was super yummy yum yum. And seriously, to eat all good food in Malacca have to queue one. We queue for like 15minutes before can enjoy the meal.

Picture taken while we are queue-ing for chicken rice. If you ever bother to click in the picture, spot me at the far left side trying to get into the camera! =P I must see my own face in each picture!

Hehe better now. I purposely went to stand in front of the crowd so can see me clearly *shameless*

After that we went roaming at the Jonker Street! Walked here and there in a big group! And we snacked all the way we roamed =P

Pretty ambassador for durian puff =P RM20 for 18 durian puffs. Yummy much. I wanna to eat the durian ice cream too but no one wants to eat and I don't want enjoy food alone so I didn't have it at last =(

And Baba Cendol from Jonker 88! This one also have to queue one but only for 2-3minutes? But the place is so small and there were so many people inside that after we bought the cendol, we realized that we have no place to sit T__T And then we stand at the bar provided and eat there lol. But still, I was enjoying every moment hehe even people look at us one kind when one big group of people stood there to eat cendol.

After the roaming in Jonker, it was time to head to Nadeje. We planned for a surprise for the birthday girl. We ordered a Hello Kitty cake for her. (She is a hard core Hello Kitty fan) Again, at Nadeje, we had to queue arghh! But this time is better. Because City was the first to arrive and they had queue for us. By the time when I reach, I can already just walked in and sit =p They served only 7-8 flavors that day so without thinking, we ordered one slice for each flavor lol It turns out that the mile crepe were really delicious! Worth all the wait and the penny!

All the cakes we ordered =) Typing this makes me want to go back to have the cakes again T__T

One picture for the cakes will do but I still prefer to see my face in each picture =p

It is her birthday so must put in nice photo of her! Happy birthday my beloved jimui! I love you! =D lend her my Hello Kitty specs so that can match with the cake!

Must have this picture here because she just looks so beautiful here and it is my idea to take this photo! =P Happy birthday again Jesz! Muacks! <3

A short video I took using my phone. Apparently no one noticed that I climbed up and down the sofa to take video until I posted it on Facebook the next day lol

I was actually planning to buy few slices for Shin, ChooChoo and Gina back in INTI but then I thought it will be pointless since they can easily grab it in PJ. Ended up Shin told me that the bakery in PJ must buy whole cake one, cannot buy one slice to taste one T__T

Nadeje was the last place to visit in Malacca. After Nadeje, we all headed back home. We all had our own activity. Some rushed back to go for company annual dinner, some rushed to Subang to see Taiwan singer JJ Lin and some just plainly wanted to reach home early to rest as we all have classes/work the next day. Tiring trip but it all worth it.

Being together with you girls are my happiest moments. I am looking forward for our next trip again. Thank you Jesz for organizing this trip. You brought us together in the trip and I can see that you try your very best to be a good host. And you are a very good host. Sorry for your pending present, it will come soon =P Once again, happy birthday to you and I love you! =D

I wanted to find back our picture in school uniforms but seems that I don't have the soft copy for it. So I took the oldest picture we had to symbolize our friendship here! *So unfair for Thatcher because when I wrote about her birthday, I posted the ugly picture of us in school uniforms :p* 

Happy birthday! =D
