Roxanne's and Lay Ai's 18 bash

Last Saturday was Roxanne's birthday and since Lay Ai's was just 4 days away, they decided to celebrate it together. They treated all of us to a nice meal at Jack's Place in One Utama.

Me and Jien *I envy his baby skin*


Moi, Lay Ai, Karina and Grace


Lay Ai, Roxanne, Moi, Ee Ven, Sulynn and Karina

Karina and me *she copied my outfit. hehe*


This is when F&B skills are put to good use... hehe



Thanks to Jien's candle arrangements... the cake literally was set on fire!

haha... look at Rox's face. The cake was unharmed though. It gave the celebration a little humour instead.

Anyway, Thank You Roxanne and Lay Ai for the lunch... AND THE TEE! haha

Legally 18!

I know it's kinda outdated but here are some pics of my 18th Birthday. I didn't really intend to celebrate but a bunch of animals in college decided to surprise me.


legally 18


Hau Por Ee Von holding the cake with the intention of dropping it. lol


Well, this one was really unexpected considering they gave me a muffin with a candle earlier in the day. hehe


Making my wish...


Bryan seems to be more excited than me...




And Reagan wanting to share the 'moment'
Didn't take many pics coz' I didn't bring my camera

After that, went to Pyramid for lunch and bowling as well as check out the new wing.









Place looks so La La and colourful *yucks*. lol.

Anyway, thanks guys for the chocolate mousse cake and the surprise!!
I'm so flattered and I really appreciate it! =P

The Gardens @ Mid Valley

Went over to The Gardens at Mid Valley again during the recent term break just to check the place out. The whole idea of The Gardens is obviously to create a "garden" atmosphere. Although most of the tenants are similar to those available at the Pavilion, The Gardens boasts Malaysia's one and only Robinson store. Overall, quite a nice place to shop in but a little on the pricey side.

Cool lighting effects

Looks like the Dubai International Airport

A live performance by a harpist to create the atmosphere

I guess it's time to update after so long. Have been really busy with college. Not to mention the applications for industrial training and course specialisation. Seriously don't wanna think of college anymore and I'm all game for another holiday this Thursday. *if successful* But before I can embark on another adventure, it's best if I continue and end the post on Perhentian. =P

Day III

Just like any other holidays, the last day is always the saddest day. I regretted not extending our stay to 4 days instead of the planned 3 days. In addition to that, we already purchased our return ticket days ahead of our trip and it cost us RM30 each. Can't forgo such an amount.
Anyway, I was supposed to set my clock at 6am for another round of the Perhentian sunrise, unfortunately, i snoozed my phone like 3 times before turning the alarm off and the next thing I know it was already 9am! I was seriously so pissed with myself as I wanted to take an early breakfast and dip myself in the sea for the last time before returning home. Argh.
So at 9am, the girls came over and we headed to the beach to fill our memory cards with last-minute pictures. To my surprise, there was this frog on our door. Literally a frog, not a toad. I think it is probably the first time I've seen a wild frog. *the so called 'frogs' you see at the padangs are actually toads btw*.


Froggie...


Our room cum chalet.


I don't wanna go home... this place is so tempting to relax and unwind.


I'm definitely gonna miss the pristine beach


And the crystal clear shallow waters


And since we had extra shots left in the underwater camera, I took the opportunity to dip in for the last time to take some pics.




A never ending swimming pool


clarity, peace, serenity...


On the rocks


Another monitor lizard...
After that, we cleaned up and packed up and checked out. Considering our boat leaves only at 4pm and it was only 11am, we decided to leave our bags at the reception and head for a sumptuous lunch at Lily Cafe


testing the macro feature..


For unknown reasons, the food tasted great. I believe it is owned and operated by a group of Thais.


Their fried rice is to crave for... and their Thai chicken thingy is to die for.


A digitally enhanced pic.. hehehe


Coconut trees to complete the tropical experience

WARNING... hundreds of pictures coming your way

One thing I realised was the fact that the sun, plays an important role in taking a perfect shot. I literally waited for the sun to come out from its hiding to take these wonderful shots...

I simply didn't get enough of the beach and the island and probably can't.
After lunch I continued taking more pictures and remarkably, I managed to get some seriously great shots.

And there was also Ang Moh boi again...

Omg... he looks so cute in his oversized T-shirt. *can't believe I'm saying this*

After lepaking under the coconut tree for hours playing cards and bullshiting and taking pics, it was time to leave...

For the memories..

Philly, me

I guess I have over-promoted Perhentian. One thing for sure, I'll BE BACK!
yeah, anyway the boat ride home was fun. Lol. the waves made the ride like a bumper boat ride.


And there was a seagull following us, as though it was bidding us farewell...


We reached Kuala Besut jetty at 5pm and our bus departs for KL only at 830pm.
So we had to find a place to lepak. But then again... it was the month or Ramadhan... URgh... the jetty was practically empty. bullshit place. lol. Fortunately there was a small Chinese store open.
Again, we drank tea and played cards to kill time. Suddenly there was this freak storm that lashed Kuala Besut.


The wind was so strong that sand particles were flying everywhere including our eyes. Everyone scurried for our shades despite the dark sky. lol. The taukeh shut the doors and we could see the sky turned blacked in just seconds.


Bright,

Dark
Freaky weih... The raging monsoon can be quite harsh

Moving on, the dinner was great. Especially the squid. Typical east-cost blended with Chinese culinary style.

That's all for Perhentian. The bus ride home was comfortable and smooth-sailing.
For those of you seeking refuge from the hectic urban lifestyle and a perfect holiday destination with friends or family, Perhentian is the ideal destination. Truly a 'Tropical Sensation'
