Day 6 - Trip To MYDIN, Beryl's Chocolate Factory & Goodbye...



Today's our last day in KL... We did our last minute shopping at MYDIN again coz there were some last minute stuffs that we needed to buy... Hubby saw this cute little covered snow cap that he decided to put it on little Asil... Asil apelagi pantang kalau orang buat diye cute, he willingly wore the snow cap and decided to pose for the camera... hee hee... Keeee-CUTE!!

After that, the mom wanted to buy some banana fritters and kropok lekor... So yup, dropped by to a nearby food stall and waited for her to get her stuffs...

From there, Kak Ipah brought us to a Chocolate Factory... Gosh!! Once there, I got sooooo very excited coz that Chocolate Factory happened to be my one of my most favourite brand of chocolate ever - BERYL'S!! Arggggghhhhhhhh!! Suke aku...!! (To Cousin Lala: Wish you were here to share my joy...) Belom sempat pon turon dari kreta dan masok dalam kilang tu, aku da sebok2 gi amek gamba... Excited betol...

Once in, Kak Ipah showed us the way to Beryl's Chocolate Shop... As soon as I entered, OMG!! I saw chocolates everywhere!! I really mean EVERYWHERE!! Bole jadi sawan aku tengok chocolate... Beryl's pulak tu... Memang sedap gilerrrrrr... After that, we took some pictures...

There's a few pots of cocoa plant... That's where you get cocoa powders used to make delicious CHOCOLATES from!! Yum yum!!


Once home, Mak Ani had already prepared some nice "kampong" dishes for us to feast before we packed our stuffs and headed back home to sunny Singapore... :(

Especially to Kak Ipah, Abang Zairi, Mak Ani, Kak Ana & Nani: Thank you soooooo much for the warm hospitality that you've given us during our stay in KL... We will never forget your kind thoughts and warm welcome towards us all... The jokes and the laughter to the tears that we shed on our last day in KL... We definitely won't forget all those memories there... Insya'allah, we will visit you guys again soon... Take care... Keep in touch always...

Farewell to KL and to all those memories that I will always treasure deep in my heart...

Goodbye...

Day 5 - Mines Shopping Mall, Petronas Twin Tower & KL Tower...



Assalamua'laikum people!! OK, basically, I'm feeling very shagged due to today's outing plus the lack of SLEEP... I'm gonna elaborate on the trip as short and as simple as possible...

So the uncle (Pak Cik) and his family had already departed from the LCCT, KLIA at around 2 plus in the afternoon... Kak Ipah and her hubby were the ones who sent them to the airport...

As for us, we had a new "tour guide" leading us to our next shopping spot and she's cousin Nani and my aunt (Mak Ani)... hee hee... Kak Ipah didn't tagged along as she needs to do her household chores while Abang Zairi was out at work...

So we went to the Mines Shopping Mall situated in Mines Resort City... Journey there was about 45 minutes... Bought some stuffs... Clothings la, shades la, waist belt la, went to Giant Supermarket la... bla bla bla...

We came back to Kak Ipah's crib to meet up with her and her hubby before heading towards Cyberjaya for dinner... Had our dinner at "The Padi House" again due to an overwhelming response from everyone saying that the food there was great...Woo hoo!!


Then here comes the best part... After dinner, Abang Zairi brought us sight-seeing to the capital city of Malaysia and you guessed it, Kuala Lumpur!! Woo hoo!! I was so thrilled!! We took pictures of the Petronas Twin Tower... I tell you, the 2 buildings were so freaking tall... As in REALLY tall that there's this bunch of "ang mohs" who were there, they laid themselves on the ground in front of the building and took some pictures of it like nobody's business...

Next was a road trip around town and see how nightlife's like in K.L... Da macam kat Orchard Road!!

Pictures uploaded plus the ones when we were going all bonkers at Kak Ipah's crib...

Day 4 - Off To Kak Ana's Crib & Finally, To Putrajaya & Cyberjaya!! Woo hoo!!



I was feeling very happy and excited today... Woke up, had breakfast (thanks for the "thosai" Kak Ipah, Mama & Papa... Sedap giler...) and got ourselves ready coz we're gonna be visiting Mak Ani at Kak Ana's (Kak Ipah's eldest sister) crib situated in Kajang, Selangor... Pak Cik & family had spent their night there... So since we planned to go for a little shopping spree and sight-seeing together, our meet-up place would be at Kak Ana's crib...

We chilled there for a while... Mak Ani had cooked for us some delicious "kampong" delicacies, while the cousins and my siblings were busy playing in the neighbourhood swimming pool... Food was very delicious, I'm telling you... Mak Ani's cooking reminded me of my late grams, Nenek Esah... She's the BEST COOK ever!! Even Mak Ani looks exactly like her... Seeing her sometimes reminded me of my late grams... I really miss her...

OK, I'm not gonna be all emotional here... Back to my story... So after the eating and swimming, everyone got themselves ready for the little shopping spree down at "MYDIN"... It's kinda like the "MUSTAFA CENTRE" that we have back in Singapore... But this was somehow like the Malaysian version of it... Hee hee... I tell you, the whole stuff was so freaking CHEAP!! I could go crazy over all of it especially the ladies brooches, non-alcoholic perfumes, scarfs and baby stuffs... Murah giler wo!! I just bought like 20 scarfs from the cousin... And now, seeing all these wonderful cheap stuffs... Gosh!! Memang betol menduga diriku untok membeli sume barang yang betol2 memikat hatiku... Aku pon apelagi la... Beli je la... Hee hee...

So after that, we're off to PUTRAJAYA!! Woo hoo!! Suke aku!! The whole view of that place was sooooo very FAN-TAS-TIC!! A HUGE SALUTE to Malaysia for their fine architectural buildings and everything... From the mosque, to the bridge and even to the way they design their traffic lights and lamp posts!! Very very creative and innovative...

From Putrajaya, we went to have dinner at "The Padi House" situated in Cyberjaya which was about 15 mins drive... The eating place there, the surrounding area, the food, the service... Ummmmph!! Magnifique!! Very very good... Hubby and I, we both ate Stir Fried Dried Chilli Beef Rice... And then, still feeling hungry, we decided to have another serving of food and we ordered Salted Fish Fried Rice... tsk tsk tsk... We really ate a lot!! Kuat makan betol!! I'm telling you, I definitely am gonna gain some weight from all this eating... ;)

One thing that makes me wonder was why wasn't there any lights on the lamp posts along the highway? I mean, all along our night trip, there wasn't any lights!! And I think that's dangerous coz it could easily cause road accidents... And I find that some Malaysian drivers do not have any road manners coz they don't even use their signal lights when they intend to overtake other vehicles and even when they decide to make a left or right turn at a junction... Or worst still, when they decide park their cars!! I'm not trying to criticise them or anything, it's just that some Malaysian drivers should ought to be extra careful especially when driving on the road... Just like their road motto says in Malay, "PANDU CERMAT, JIWA SELAMAT"...

Pak Cik and family are gonna be flying back to Singapore tomorrow... Their flight is at 3pm... I'm not so sure whether we're gonna be sending them off to the airport... Well, we'll see about that... I'm hoping if we could go to K.L.C.C or the Petronas Twin Tower... ;)

I'm feeling very sleepy now...

Need some sleep for tomorrow's trip...

Finally, I managed to squeeze some time to update my blog!! phewwww... I was basically feeling very exhausted yesterday that I didn't even have the mood to update my blog on Day 3's outing... So here's what we did on that particular day...

Like I said in my previous blog, we went on a short trip to Malacca coz there's a wedding feast going on from the paternal side of the family bla bla bla... Got ourselves lost on our way there but thanks to today's modern technology, we arrived at our destination safely with the help of "GPS mobile satellite map reading"... Alhamdulillah...

Everyone of dad's siblings were there and the cousins plus nephews too!! The food was great... The weather was going all drizzly... Then, it started to rain cats and dogs for hours... The tent was filled with tiny holes making the whole place wet and leaky... The grasses were even filled with mud and puddles of water... pfft... To make things even worst, kara-OK singers who were singing their voice out at the wedding really sucked big time... I think my gram could sing even better than them... Seriously... They were the laughing stock of almost everyone there... Suare sumbang gilerrrrr... lol...

After that we made our way back to K.L (to Kak Ipah's crib) with Pak Uteh (Dad's 3rd bro) & family tagging along with us... Saw lots of green patches of paddy fields along the way and it's amazing how "green" the whole paddy fields looked like... Can't blame me la, coz it's the 1st time I've seen such a thing in Malaysia... You won't be able to see any of those things back in Singapore... sheesh...

So arrived in Kak Ipah's crib... Rested for a while before we made our move to Jusco!! Woo hoo!! Shopping gilerrrr... Bought a few stuffs... Souvenirs for the 2nd bro's girlfriend (Khat), my favourite nephew (Khai), baby diapers and milk powder for the babies... Last but not least, shopping won't feel "syiok" without getting our taste buds pampered with FOOD... mwahahahaha...

Here's a list of food and beverages that we ordered and ate together:
  1. Sushi
  2. Beef Steak
  3. Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup
  4. Giant Hotdogs
  5. Ice Creams
  6. Omellette Fried Rice
  7. Coffee Tongkat Ali
  8. Sweet Corn Juice
  9. Plum Juice
  10. Ice Cafe
  11. Orange Juice
Sedaaaaaaap... Alhamdulillah... I think if I were to stay a little bit longer here in K.L, I'm gonna be putting on about 3 to 5kg of fat on me soon...

OK, the babies are asleep... The parents are too... Bro Adam is busy playing his PSP while bro Alep and the hubby just arrive home from a little night outing with the cousins...

Woke at up 11am this morning (4 hours of sleep and I look like a panda bear already)... Got the babies and everything ready coz we'll be fetching Pak Cik & family from the LCCT (it's kinda like the Changi Airport Budget Terminal that we have in Singapore)...

The weather on the way there was so freaking hot...!! I mean, really really HOT!! The place was crowded with people!! I was basically feeling a bit agitated by the noise and everything... In order to avoid the crowd, Abang Zairi (Kak Ipah's hubby) suggested that we hanged out at the nearby cafeteria... Thought of buying a cup Ice Blended Cappuccino Latte at Coffee Bean but like I said, the place was so freaking crowded... pfft...

Once at the cafeteria, we ordered our food... Sebab kitorang lapar giler... Moreover the food was pretty tempting... Hee hee... OK, so food ordered and feasted... Then came another thingy that made me feel irritated... There's so many flies flying around, feasting themselves on whatever food found on the eating tables... And those freaking flies were huge!! Freakingly disgusting!! I mean, they should at least disinfect the entire cafeteria 3 times a week to maintain cleanliness... sheesh... If they could have flies in the cafeteria, imagine what other disgusting pesticides would be visiting the place... bleurgh...

So OK, back to fetching the Uncle and his family... Their flight was actually delayed for an hour... And then, while waiting, it started to rain... Alhamdulillah... Thanks to the rain, at least we won't be suffering from heat exhaustion... Hee hee... Just kidding...

After that, we headed down towards Kuala Lumpur International Airport which was situated nearby... Kitorang naaaaak sangat2 gi tengok KLIA... We passed by the Sepang International F1 Race Circuit and saw a bunch of cows along the way... I was pretty much excited... In fact we were all excited... We took some pictures at the KLIA... Cantek giler tempat tu!! We enjoyed the wonderful view of the whole place...

Tomorrow's trip is to MELAKA... Be going on a mini convoy trip there... One of the dad's relatives (Tok "Mat Sentol" nye side of the family) had invited everyone of us there for a wedding feast... So we're expecting to meet the rest of the dad's clan there... Even the dad's siblings will be driving from Singapore to Melaka just to be there with us and I'm looking forward to it... :)

So pictures uploaded...

I really need my beauty sleep NOW...
