lovely pinky's itenerary from 3rd-7th july (pt 2)

hee, the laziness kicks in and hence this post was covered with lotsa spider webs, storing as draft for quite some time..so..


this is the itinerary for the 3rd day.



Pinky asked me whether i have any place in mind that i wanted to go long time ago, so i told him, can we go to Bukit Tinggi? he agreed to it immediately! i was really happy because i used to ask someone to bring me there long time ago and the reason he gave was he doesn't know the route there. i thought there's something call Google Map?? so i'm really glad that Pinky agreed to my suggestion.

our initial plan was to start our journey at 9am, grabbed some breakfast, packed some sandwiches to munch when we're up at Bukit Tinggi but we ended up departing only at 12 something, we both were playing with Rayner and the weather was so hot!






my sister in law is from Ampang, i asked her the route to my favorite yong tau fu shop (Hong Hong ampang yong tau fu). they got the best fried dumpling in town *in my opinion*! my mum never fail to eat there whenever she pays a visit to in law's mum.

there we go, up the hill to Bukit Tinggi!!
the weather was scotching hot, but it was really fun, spending half a day up there with Pinky, talking, self-camwhoring, laughing and Pinky piggie-back me to the car coz i was too tired walking already. weee~~ first time experiencing piggie-back by someone! then we headed home for dinner.
saw this lorry on our way back, it was modified into a van-like vehicle. i guess the angmos had drove it across a few countries already. quite cool huh!
after dinner, we headed to TBC convention. Pinky needed to work. went there to unload 2 MBs and park them into the hall. it was really scary to see Pinky unload the cars from the trucks because both trucks were either too high or too low comparing to the loading bay level thus the helpers need to put some supports to make sure the cars can successfully unload without a scratch. i was sweating already looking at the situation but Pinky was still very cool with it. and the best part was, Pinky need to do a 3 point turn within that small + narrow compound! i was really amazed because i think i would had sweat both my hands and feet out if i am to be driving these 2 cars. they looked enormously huge in the loading bay.

after all the hassles, finally Pinky fetched me and we both entered the lift in the car. kinda weird though and you can actually felt the lift building up the momentum to go up.



the 2 cars infront of the loading lift.



and Pinky was driving one of the car into the hall.



and thanks to the guy standing beside the car, he was the one assisting and watching the directions for Pinky throughout the whole process of unloading, 3 point turning and parking into the hall.


E200


Brabus C class

it was in deed a rare experience! thanks to Pinky for that exposure and willing to share with me and show me what he requires to do for his job. good job Pinky, muacks!



Pinky was working on Tuesday, so it was free & easy until dinner time. Pinky's mum invited me to join them for dinner, she was cooking fish & chips, trust me, it's good! yummy ~
since ah Guan kept asking us for yumcha, we sacrificed our movie session and went yumcha with bunch of primary school mates as well as helping Guan with his survey. how nice of us right Guan? as usual, when all the monkeys meet, talk cock sing song session will never be short. we ended up going back home at 1am. fuh~sleepy but it was fun catching up with them! too bad, no pictures taken during that night.

so 7th july is the day for me to return to melaka. luckily the bus station had shifted to Bukit Jalil, which is kinda near to my place. my initial plan was to leave at 2pm but it was pouring in KL, thus it was delayed. Pinky was sweet enough to send me off *which was totally off schedule* and we nearly missed the bus because i was too concentrating reading magazine. my bad. Pinky ran and stopped the bus with his huge umbrella, huhu..and sadly we didn't even hug because the driver was shouting "cepat! cepat!".

and hence, it's the end of my KL short getaway. i really appreciate everything that Pinky did for me. love you lots, xoxo!


p/s: thanks alot for the Royce Chocolate, it was a real big surprise to me!! guess it will be another blog post then. muacks!

lovely pinky's itinerary from 3rd to 7th july 2010 (pt1)

like what i had mentioned in the previous post, i took leave for few days and had a short getaway to KL. Pinky was lovely enough to come up with this tempting itinerary, although it was not the first time he did this, i still feel very touched despite of his heavy workload in the office.

this is also one of the way to remember the happy moments we had/ we planned to do when we're both old *provided this blog still exist*




so the itinerary started off on 3rd july, 3pm. but too bad, due to some unforseen matters, my arrival was delayed and we're only managed to go for the grocery shopping @ the Cold storage at 7pm, for our dinner ingredient. luckily Pinky was smart enough to list down the things that we need so i guess we spent less than an hour to grab the necessary things and head back home for dinner preparation. and if u do follow my blog, u'll know which post i'm mentioning. by the way, for those who don't know about it, this is the post --> cooking with Pinky

we started our dinner at 10pm and we're just in time to catch the football match. we're both tired thus we decided to just stay back home to enjoy the match as well as helping Pinky to do his ear waxing therapy. now Pinky knows why i was terrified the first time he did the therapy for me, the flame was really scary!!! so we did side track abit from our 1st day itinerary, but it's ok since it's just a guide, not a MUST to follow everything mentioned there.




on the 2nd day, Pinky need to wake up early in the morning for his work when i was still having my beauty sleep, huhu, Pinky felt imbalance about it though, huhu!! since it was mentioned in the itinerary that we'll be going to Ikea, we met up with Ji, and had our lunch in Itallianes and got our tummy bloated forgeting there's a buffet to catch for our dinner >.<



it was fun catching up with Ji and forcing Pinky to finish the food, huhu. we then walked around in the Ikea to burn off some fats & calories before heading back home to get ready for dinner. it was kinda rush, gave up Bubba Gump dessert =( pick up my nephew and straight to Sunway Pyramid. it was my brother's birthday, so we decided to get him an ice cream cake, miss rayner the rascal so much, muacksss!! the Shogun japanese buffet was just so-so, not going there anytime sooner i think.



happy birthday bro!

we couldn't stuff in any more food into our tummy so the yumcha session was not initiated. we both went back home and rest since we got a road trip on the next day, yuhu~~the long awaited Bukit Tinggi road trip!!


to be continue....

the not so far away land of singapore universal studio

finally the universal studio of singapore had launched which was followed by lotsa promotion from various travel agents.

the elders are mostly attracted to their new casino

while us the young ones are more keen on the universal studio.

now that they had this promotion:

free SDG10 if you're entering casino

free SDG 5 for food&beverage; SDG5 for souvenir if you're entering universal studio.


so we decided to go there on one fine day.

me, sis, mum and dad.


after reaching at the destination,

sis and I were hungry,

and many recommend this Loui's NY Pizza Parlor

they have a wide variety of traditional Italian pizzas as well as some local Singapore favourites including Hawaiian pizza, tandoori chicken pizza, vegetarian pizza and more.




if you're seeking for some combo,
they offer this combo which consist of
- a regular cup of coke
- a piece of pizza of your choice
and a piece of tiramisu
this combo is SDG10.90

can you see how huge it is??
we only manage to finish off 2 pieces of chicken wings,
1 piece of pizza, the tiramisu and half cup of coke each.

the chicken wings are superb!!
and it's not expensive at all.
almost the same price you got it from some chiplak food center here.


after stuffing ourselves with food,
packed the unfinished food,
we then wanted to start to have fun.

but sadly,
this is the time when the sky started to pour!!
so we're sitting at the kaki lima,
waiting for the rain to stop because not all places are with shelter.
and,
sigh..
there goes our mission impossible -->
to complete all the rides and shows.

big frown on our faces =(


the movie street

this is where:

you can see some of Universal feature films and props and get behind the scenes and see real film production at Stage 28;

Lights! Camera! Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg, a show where guests can be blown away by the filmmakers' incredible special effects as an empty sound stage becomes the setting for a major hurricane about to hit New York City

those are really worth watching.

so make sure you record down all the show times before you go for the rides.

it was basically pouring.

after thinking for awhile,

we decided to put on our raincoats.

it was a fun experience though..huhu..

and only til the end of the day we realized that we're the only two green girls out there.




while waiting for the rain to stop,

both of us were moving around and see what show can we catch.

and it was the 4D movie.

it was showing Shrek, with donkey sneezing and spiders brushing your feet.

but it was really fun and the 3D effect didn't got me dizzy this time.

both of us trying out the fiona princess and shrek's headbands.

it was funny that the color of the raincoats matched the headbands.


after the 4D show, we tried our luck on some indoor rides.

and yes, you should try all the rides!!

i only managed to try the revenge of mummy.

and it was FUN!!!

but remember to keep your bags in the locker first before you go queueing up.


WATERWORLD

luckily the rain had stopped after an hour or two.

and it's waterworld's showtime.

the crowd was scarily large,

all waiting infront of the gate,

waiting for it to release the seats.

the overview of the stage

do not underestimate the size of the stage.

it might looked small to you,

but you can never imagine how mind blowing the show is.

we were both still wearing raincoat,

why?

because....

the seats were divided into few sections.

the dry zone,

splashh zone

and soak zone.

so the audience get to choose their seats according to their own preference.

we had our rainncoat on, but we're not keen on getting soak,

thus we chose the splash zone.

i'm not gonna spoil the interesting part.

but this park is highly recommended.

watch it and you'll know why.


the JURASSIC Park

there are few rides which were highly reconmmended by my sis.

but the waiting time is just too long.

imagine you need to wait for an hour for a ride.

if it wasn't because of the rain,

i would had went and queue up but the rain took away too much of our time already.

guess i can only go back there again to try them out.


the FAR FAR AWAY land



after loitering around the FAR FAR AWAY land,

we moved to the next part which is the

still under construction's

MADAGASCAR park

the schedule opening is on late 2010


since we still have our SDG5 each to spend,

we basically enter each souvenir shop to hunt for our souvenir.

sis got herself a t-shirt the last time she came,

so she gave me her SDG5 this time.

frankly speaking, it's kinda hard to shop even with SDG10 in hand.

finally i got myself a notebook.

there are these little statues with some interesting statements

for example:



~hollywood best girlfriend~

~world's greatest employee~

dedicate to pinky =)

~hollywood best lover~




~hollywood best sweetheart~
and so on

it was actually my sis's birthday that day,
so..
happy birthday sis~
hope you enjoyed the trip that day.



ok, i'll make sure i go back there again!!
