Annual Trip - Kota Kinabalu - Part 1

Hi! i'm back from our annual ladies trip! #trippingals

Our annual trip is always so awesome that we pledge to do it every year till we are old, fat and wrinkly!

hahhahhahahha oh well, probably yennee will be the fattest then! wtf

what do we do on our trip? 

we pamper ourselves, we eat, we sleep, we laze around and we talk

we talk, we gossip, we laugh, we plan for our future

PLAN??? yeah we girls can plan ok!

every year, without fail, during our annual trip, we plan for..

OUR NEXT TRIP!!!

last year we chose Kota Kinabalu, Sabah as our destination this year

where we spent half of our time by the beach...

and the other half in the highest mountain on SEA!!

here are some of the pictures to show how awesome our trip was..

Part 1: Beach Edition

This is our Master Guide, Mr Zeke!

oh, did i mention that we stayed in a 5 star resort at Manukan Island?

though the breakfast and food there is not up to expectation, but the service was quite good

and yeah, we got free VIP boat ride to and back from the hotel

when we checked in we got welcome drinks and gift!

a yellow beaded traditional necklace :)

and when we checked out, got goodbye fruits also! hahahhaha

 this is where i slept for the two nights..

so nice and cosy hor.. ❤

the island had a Sun Set Point for us to view sunset, of course!

it was a 30 min walk they said, but to me, it was a 30 mins HIKE!!

so bloody tiring up and down the terrain in the jungle

then when we reach the point °O°

the view was mindblowing... on a cliff somemore

hahahaha mike and gigi dare not go further from where they are in this picture

God's magnificent creation! 

and oh, we also had VIP escort services to the sunset point..

only for us as one of the staff Shahrul was jogging then end up he became our guide and bodyguard!

we left pretty early as we want to avoid walking in the dark jungle at night

so we continued our sunset watching on the jetty

next morning, we woke up for breakfast, then we laze around on the beach 

(yeah i know! that bloody mozzie sucked up my blood!)

Manukan Island is open to public, but they had a section of the beach reserved only for in house guests

nah... bigger in case you cannot see how VIP we were

what do 4 pretty girls and 4 smart phones do??

we do awesome poses

and take awesome pictures

the next morning we woke up early to take pictures at the jetty before any intruders come to the island

it was peaceful and calm, relaxing of course!

after breakfast, we had to do some exercise!

then we had some pretty photo shoot again :)

then in the afternoon we went to the pool

also for in house guest only!!

they had this romantic day bed for siesta.. 

and this super deep pool where i cannot swim at all (even with life jacket)

 obligatory picture of the entrance

group picture on a tree

the last night, we had our dinner in the only restaurant on the island, Perahu Restaurant

food was mediocre, like 'meh' only 

my recommendation, bring in instand noodles! 

we enjoyed ours the first night in our VILLA 

again, VIP, the only customers sitting indoors

our ride back to mainland, ahem, VIP ride again!! hahaha

and i shall end part 1 with the awesome view of the jetty @ Sutera Pacific

The Proposal 23.06.2013

Better write it down early before I forget, or should be we forget… everything got to be plural now….like us, we, family *panics

So this Pingu planned it for some time already by telling me stuff and feeding me with information so to let me feel that he will not be proposing anytime soon. Things like he’s so busy with his work now.. not time for other stuff lah, need to focus on job.. can’t focus on any other stuff. Also in T’ganu no place to buy ring, so if he comes to KL to buy, then I’ll surely know. Plotting to secretly come to KL to buy without my knowledge some more! So I was like confident jer nothing will happen anytime this year.

The night before we go to Langkawi, we met his colleague to collect some 'spare parts' for work. (now I know it was my ring WTF) While they were chatting, I took the bag to have a look inside. Inside I saw two boxes.. a cardboard partially covered box that look like a ring box and another box as well with some paper . Immediately I my mind went… OMG! That looked like a ring box! Did he plan to propose? *panic mode on

Surprisingly, Pingu was just as calm, continude drinking his coffee, NO REACTION. His friend however panicked asked me why I simply go take and see people things! Hahahahha! So I returned it to the table and continue thinking…. If it was a ring, then why got two boxes? Takkan he go buy his own ring also meh straightaway? But he had no reaction, so shouldn’t be lah.. some more on our way back, he gave and ask me to keep that bag for him!!!! so I lagi confirm that it’s not ring lah!! Hahahahha damn relieved!

Well, he hid the ring+ box+spare ring (just in case he felt like kenakan me) in the laptop bag that we use as bag pack! When in Langkawi.. I did not carry any bag.. so he carried my purse and phone for me.. and I have been like digging the bag as usual, putting stuff in, taking stuff out… and I did not find those stuff he hid!!! Damn fail rite me?

On 23 June 2013, there was supposed to be a super moon and I thought being at the beach was the best place to view the moon.

So we were on the beach, at one far corner, just us. And I was disappointed that the moon I saw was just normal moon except that it is kind of blur… covered with haze I think! Hahahha.. I was there googling on my phone.. searching if it was the right day to view super moon etc.. when I noticed Pingu was using his phone also. I asked what was it he was doing, he said, searching about red wine stuff… (LIE! He was searching about proposal stuff hahahahha)..

~the super moon, our witness~ 

So fine.. gave up on super moon, might as well just walk together and enjoy the beach.. I really love beaches especially night time..:) As we were walking, he asked me to carry the bag pack.. huh! ordering me some more! So I turned my back, so that he can put the bag on for me to carry. After that I continued walking, not yet even one step, he called me.

I turned around, there he was smiling cheekily with a ring box in his hand!! @.@
My first reaction was, OMG he’s proposing.. what to do?? *hyperventilates
I think I tried to run… hahahha… I felt I needed to hide…
I was SHHHYYYYYY!!! my face was feeling so hot... probably it had turned red dy! hahaha

He held me tight and knelt on his knees… and said a bunch of things which I cannot remember!!
Damn touching all the things he say until half way he not yet finish talking I felt I wanna cry dy so I fast fast hug him so that my tears won’t fall.. hahahhaha.. want face until like that..

Apparently my answer to him was “ok..ok.ok..” hahahhahah forgot to say YES… later I think I did say when he asked me again to reconfirm.. hahahhaha

Then he put the beautiful ring on my ring finger… and we kissed.. ;)

We walked and sat by the beach.. so that he can turn on the flash light to show me the ring which was absolutely beautiful.. :) just like what I dream of… and it was so big.. I could wear it on my thumb!

How did he manage to smuggle the ring there? Well, he hid it in his back pack, covered by a piece of ‘used’ hello kitty tissue and with a new pack on top.. the picture explains it all.

And he knew if I saw it, I would not touch it.. cause I will feel yucky touching the used tissue.. THAT REALLY HAPPENED!! I wanted to take the tissue, and I really did saw that ‘used’ tissue, and I thought.. yeee.. so disgusting one.. stuff so many dirty tissue here.. yucks! Not gonna touch it!

So that’s the story of the proposal. Too bad no recording of it.. because Pingu tried to record, but his butt clicked stop cause he kiap the phone on his butt with his shorts waitstband! Hahahhahah he damn kek sam lor! Hahahhhahaaa

 ~ fiance and fiancee :) ~ 

I felt so super happy and excited that I could not sleep the night and I woke up super early before sunrise! Really super happy and I felt so loved (actually more like FINALLYyyyyy someone wants to marry me! wahahahaha)… i felt so comfortable and so safe in his arms and knowing that he will be there for me always.

Up or down; hard or easy; good times or bad times we’re going to walk hand-in-hand through our journey of life, together. *sniffs

It's the princess's birthday!

Hi guys!!

when you see this, i am already at a wonderful place called Langkawi

enjoying the sun and breeze, hopefully the haze don't reach there!

i don't know why i love Langkawi so much that i must visit it for the 5th time i guess.. mad!

so i believe, it'll be a good place for me to try my first egg benedict

well, this is how the place actually looks like.. daytime...

less the photography skill and angle.. Hahahahahaha

still, it's next to a PANTAI so it's good.

next would be for some Asian food...

so it'll be either Pahn Thai 

Thai Food of course!

or Malay/Western food at The Cliff

Redang Trip May 2012

i must post this up before it hits ONE year anniversary!!

that is what i told myself! 

so i uploaded the pictures, and now, after 3 months.. i am only posting it wtf

we went for our ladies trip last year to redang!

with the perfect idea to feast our eyes on sexy hot guys on the beach...

maybe gigi and mike could hook up some..;)

but too bad... the place we booked ... was so faraway from the main redang beach!

super suitable for a quiet and peaceful beach holiday! - not what we had on our dirty little minds

one of the late mornings... see.. beach totally no people at all... all too peaceful... 

the sand here are quite coarse, some thing like small small stones... 

i prefer the ones on the main beach, those are like baby powder!

Redang Kalong Resort...

awesome place for divers and peace seeking people

we even had time to figure out how to climb on this coconut branch to take pictures..

the trick is walk backwards, upwards!

can act as superwoman some more!!

 super love this picture on the jetty with gigi

us... just like old times on the tennis court/the apartment nearby with all the food from pasar malam!

girls talk!! damn nice lor this picture... my hair looks nice!

first time tried kayaking... scary at first... but later when i got the hang of rowing... it felt quite good..

still scary though.. when i think of 'what if i fall in the sea?'

another picture of the resort.. papan tanda before we leave...

then we went back to Kuala Terengganu town... for another day before our flight home...

we did some touristy thing there.. like visiting the Taman Tamadun Islam...

which i went before.. so this time.. i went as... A TOUR GUIDE.. with a china slang! 

HAHAHAHHHAAAA.. there were some indian tourist around... i dont know why but just that china slang came naturally and damn funny lo....

like i don't know what is mosque in mandrin, so i just 'mandrinised' the word mosque..it became mo-see-ke.. HAHAHAHHAH rotfl

a complimentary picture of some mosque... just because there was a terengganu flag there :)

great trip with my besties!!

am looking forward for our next trip this year!!
