Iftar, Hotel Seri Malaysia, Melaka

   

Iftar, Equatorial Hotel, Melaka

 

Iftar at Equatorial Hotel, as what expected from 5 star hotel, I was seriously bloated! Everything was perfect from the Milo Ais, Ayam Tandoori, Mihun, and loads of cakes and sweets! So pleased!

I gained 2kg!!!

Iftar, Everly Resort Hotel, Melaka

Yesterday we went to MP and Dataran Pahlawan again but this time only me and my sis. Pakcik J sent us to Melaka Central then we took a bus. So nostalgic reminded me when I was here during my 2nd year summer holiday, I couldn't imagined just how many times I took a bus from Melaka Central to MP area for date, then would call mum to fetch me at Melaka Central hehehhh.... she even smelt something fishy about it Anyway, we went there as my sis wanted to look for jeans so I tagged along at the same time being her image consultant uhuhuhhhh... I got myself some stuff, ohhhh finally I found the cotton ball I was asking in my previous entry at MP Guardian for RM2.80. I really thought that I couldn't find that type anymore here hehehhh... and I got this powder brush from SASA, Zeno Mini acne clearing device (I was sooo desperate to get rid off the pimples on my nose! It bothered me to the max!! despite of the ridicolous price! I just want a clear face on Raya that's it!) and MakeUp Base from The Face Shop. Yeah That's it really.

In the evening, we break fast at Everly Resort Hotel Melaka. We were very reluctant to go along but had to as the organizer already included us in the guest lists, so we went. My reason was I just don't feel comfortable like the night before where everything is very formal and when me or we were the only 'underage' there. We barely know anyone as we'll always being left to eat at another table. That's so annoying. But fortunately, this time it was less formal eventhough the foods still being served (I prefer buffet style) and there were kids came along.... phuhhhhhh . As usual we sat at another table but beside me was a girl whose parents ate at another table as well. The main meal was ok, nothing special but we had Rojak for dessert and cakes!!! I ate a lot!!! I took some from the buffet area ngeheheee.... we also presented with free Kueh Raya each!

Well did I said anything about me and my sis trying to make Mc D delivery for sahur last night? well we did but were told that delivery for our home area is only before 11pm bleghhhhhhh.... I was craving for the whole day! So after got back from the hotel, we called Mc D for the delivery hihihhhhhh... yup we just don't know what 'full' means! I ordered large Big Mac and went sleep directly ngahahahaha... this morning was the first time I didn't take sahur. Fully charged anyway heheee...

Again, this evening we didn't break fast at home. We had it at some hotel somewhere in MITC area.We didn't wear Baju Kurung as well, just jeans and top, so malas to wear formally, actually I run out of baju kurung already hahahahaha. This time was buffet style! I like!! The meal was delicious and I had Rojak again! Ohhh not to forget the Air Tebu Madu! and steal some ABC from my sister, shame they don't have nice cakes for me! How sad~~

Masjid Selat, Melaka for Iftar

 

We break fast at Masjid Selat (Melaka version of Masjid Terapung). It was my dad's office turn to organize breaking fast with some 'big' people of Melaka. My dad went first, my mum, me and my sister went a bit late, almost 7pm we arrived and goshhhh there was a hugeee number of people! Cars parked towards the end of the road. People standing around amid not enough chairs to seat on. People went back to their cars, go back home perhaps. We were as well thought of going home or break fast anywhere else (we popped out all fast food we can think of at that time; me=KFC, my sis = pizza hut; yup I was craving for KFC since forever, but I prefer to wait until fasting ends so I can enjoy it right away instead of have to wait until 7pm) and surprisingly my mum said something 'hotel' and both of us were like.. "HOTEL???" sooo not my mum huhuhhh.... hrmmm unfortunately none of us bring money bluahhh come on xanga, more funky smileys???

So my dad already saves us some seat and well at the VIP area blerghhhh again (put my mood off) I'm just not into this 'Makan Beradab' thing. Maybe I'm not mature enough or maybe because I'm sitting and eating with people I don't know (yeah they are my dad's collegues at office, our parents sit at other table, annoying huhhh?? we were left to enjoy the meal with the unknowns) as I was totally comfortable in Egypt on the Nile Cruise. I automatically annoyed with having to pour the juice or water from their bottle into the glass. Why can't we just drink it straight away from the bottle? That's what people normally do right? Furthermore, I couldn't seem to eat a lot as I normally do; me and my sister talked rubbish as we can't joined their conversation, they didn't asked us anything either. Overall, a totally not comfortable situation.

The tarawikh was a bit longer than usual. The Qunut was really long! Both my mum and sis including me were complaining and talking about it afterwards. Yes it was really really long I even went "lamanyerrr bila nak habis nih??" huhuhhhhh not good not good.... The MORE was superb! The pengat pisang was mouthwateringly nyummy!! as well as the cakoi and spring roll! But too bad I couldn't enjoy it much as the 'big people' already got up before I finished my 2nd round pengat pisang. bleghhhhhh again and againnnnn!!

Anyway.... yesterday was the first day I really went out during day time.. yeahhh really pathetic after 2 weeks here. Is Malaysia becoming hotter??? goshhh I was sweating!! My elder sis came home so we had the chance to wandering around city.. We went to Jusco first. So many people as expected during weekends unlike in UK everyday is a busy day, everyday is a shopping day..... wondering when do british people really work huhhh??? Anyway, lets get back on track shall we? So we straight away headed towards Vincci, my favorite shoe brand here. I had my eyes fixed on these two shoes, one wedges while the other one heels, but there were too many people so I thought perhaps I just buy it at another Vincci store. So I just loitered around Jusco clothes, shoes and beg area... nothing attracted me. I was feeling nauseous maybe because of the super hot weather or too many people, I don't know. My sis gave me strange look for not buying anything huhuhhh.... I just sat down on a bench somewhere waiting for them do their shopping before I went upstairs looking for new simcard. Yeah I decided to switch to Digi after a long time being a loyal customer to Hotlink. "Tukar angin" > my answer to my dad. "Boyfriend ko pakai Digi ke??" > question from my sis... I admit 80% of the reason contributed into the decision was because 'he' is using Digi . * 'He' here is not my ex but a friend of mine ok (wink wink)

After about 2 hours in Jusco, we proceeded to MP to search for my Baju Raya yippieeeee!! I got one Baju Kurung, a really lovely one! More like earthy color and I fell in love with 4 more! A black Jubah (yer da lama tak pakai jubah kan??), goldish baju kurung Pahang (I love the colour and the cutting), bluish Korean silk baju kurung moden (the cutting is just simply superb and the silk feel would be nice) but it cost nearly 300 and one Hijau Lumut songket kebaya (yup I agree with "less is more".. this one really looks elegant in a very simple way). OMG I just starting to love our traditional baju kurung, kebaya etc.. guys!! They are lovely!!!! but mum limited two pairs each as we are paying with her credit card shame shame..... When I tried the baju kurung that I bought, I firstly tried on another color which is bright purple and I had these pretty funny conversation with my sis:

Me: Ok tak? seswai tak color ni dgn aku?

Sis: Cantik! Seswai! Sebab ko tak hitam

Me: Cis! cakap je la aku putih, berselindung2 pulak ko haha

Haha... well I can consider myself the fairest among my siblings, at least many people told me that not just me (hidung kembang kuncup).... but how funny that I always the opposite among my circle of friends (duhhhhh)

By the way, I went to two more Vincci store in MP and Dataran Pahlawan to search for the shoes I've been eyeing on before (remember??) DAMN!! No more size 3!!!!!!!! panic2!!!! Do you know how disappointed I would be and how hard I will try to get the things I already love to have?? Yup thats me... I am a type who will do just anything and won't be easy to sleep if I don't get what I see and sooo want to get a hold on it (ATTENTION! this only apply to stuff not human being ) unless I found a substitude. By that time, I already deleted the wedges (remember, wedges and heels?), and do you notice Vincci makes very cute terompah??? I just realize it and they are damn cute! I grab one for myself ! Mum likes it! yeayyyy! But the heels keep playing in my head!

We went home and show our 'Raya' stuff to mum as well as baju kurung we bought for our Tok. But mum said it's probably bit big for Tok so .... YES!!!! can go to Jusco again to change it!!! chance chance!! to grab the heels!!! weeepeeeeeee!!!!! and there we were, me and my sis went back to Jusco after break fast and yeahhhhhhhhhhh the heels is mine now!!!! duhhhhhhhh should I start to learn controlling my habit of "Just Buy It If You Want It" damn!! I'll hate that

p/s: Does anyone know where I can get cotton ball for facial purposes??? I hardly searched through Guardian, Watsons and Jusco but to no avail. They all only have the square type  facial pads. Any helps are much appreciated! (ye saya sememangnya skema!)

I Am Back For Good!

hey yo, it's been 3 days since i'm back again to lovelyyyy hometown, my flight was on saturday night 10pm, and safely arrived at klia at 530pm sunday. i'm not yet miss Cardiff, hopefully I won't. and i think maybe i just successfully fight over the jet lag, i slept the whole day and awake all night for these past 3 days. its tiring ok. anyway...

What will I miss in Cardiff and uk generally:

1. SHOPPING!! the guilt-free feeling you get when paying in pound currency! everything seems cheap!

2. the easy access to anywhere pass through my mind. I can just get up from my chair, grab my favorite green sweater and out to tesco when this happens: "alamak teringin minum coke pulak". or when feel bored, feeling like wasting some money on stuff or just waste my time wandering around shops in cardiff city centre. yup, that would be easy here when i have my own ride AND confidence again to drive hehehh

3. the very friendly people, no matter where and who they are. from the customer service, salesperson, at post office, ticket booth, people walk by, yup basically just everywhere and yeah not to forget the gentleness and the way of life of british people: open up the door for people behind you, always smiling, etc etc etc

4. the independent haja; wash her own dishes, cook her own food (eventhough most of the times tasteless, she didn't care as it's only herself she had to please), wash her own clothes, buy own food, get anything or anywhere by herself. (maybe i need to not live with my parents to be all independent again, otherwise, kak sri will do all the chores)

5. the 'perfect figure' me huahuahuahauaa

6. my knee-high boots i always wear when its raining, i just feel cool and simple in it hahahaha plus its super easy to just sarung it and step on the puddle while its raining yuhuuuuuu.. oo yeah i definetly will miss the amount of WIND we have in UK! how i wish malaysia can have a bit of it, HOT + SUNNY + WINDY = PERFECT weather.. i like!!!

7. the dry toilet, how the toilet (yup literally, toilet), shower room and sinks are separated. and toilet paper! can i continue use toilet paper here? hmmm i want to

8. ants and mosquitos free, IMPORTANT!

9. and many more....

What will i NOT miss in UK:

1. my chapped lips!!!! really hate that! i dont really have that problem in malaysia, thank God

2. the temptations of malaysian foods . hopelessly drooling over the internet or recipe book, or just by chatting with friends about it!

3. dead city at night, shops closed after 5pm, 8pm on thursday. boring! here, u can still go to kedai mamak enjoying the mee goreng at 12 midnight when u feel so.

4. being minorities are just not cool

5. hoh that's it??

What will i afraid or tired of in malaysia?:

1. my weirdly sensitive right eye, yup only the right eye. and only happens when i'm here, so far i dont have yet the problem and hopefully i wont get it anymore! its just super annoying!!!!!!

2. the familiar question "bila nak start keje? keje kat mana?" arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! benci dan menyampah!
