Sigh… nothing much to do again… want to work but could’t work. Stuck!!! So decided to go to the beach to relax but… sigh… forget it! Thought of want to rant here but I think I better don’t waste my time ranting about it. Don’t want to spoilt the mood. See photos…

WARNING: Bandwidth sucker and lengthy post!

So… it rained… no sunrise to see. Khoon How, LeeLing, Audrey, Lee and Hui Yee braced the drizzly rain at around 6.30am to walk at the beach and then went to breakfast.

Slept till about 8am. Everyone left for breakfast.Jimmy and I was the last one to leave after Ann and Jee. We had our breakfast at the resort’s restaurant. It was packed!!! I have no further comment on the service. Well… I guess it’s too many people I think. I didn’t have the chance to properly tried out many of their food because there were too many people and not enough cutlery to accomodate the number of people, not very satisfying spending about RM20++ for such a breakfast 🙁 I regret that I should have wake up early and join them for early breakfast. I ended up with these(pic below), a cup of peach juice and a cup of tea. 🙁 If I knew that I will end up with these, I would rather stay back in the room for breakfast with my instant cream corn soup, noodle in cup, tea with creamer and chrysanthemum tea.

I wanted pancake and omelet from the Eegg Section(below, left) but sigh… the queue was too long and I have no such time to wait at all. 🙁

The picture on the right is Hilltop, it’s under the same resort but it’s located further up. Very expensive, RM700 per night for the up most accomodation, it has two storeys with kitchen, living and sleeping areas and washroom. It has very nice view too. It doens’t have its own restaurant there, you have to take the bus to go down for meals. The spa is located in this area too.

After breakfast, we went back to rearrange the beds into what they were supposed to be and cleared all the rubbish last night into the garbage bin outside the chalet. Then we went out for a walk since it’s still early before our 12pm check-out.

Some sceneries.



After the walk, we had some ice creams, it was so hot.

About 11.45am, we checked out and went to Expert and Jalan Song to calculate our expenditure so that we could all pay for our share. Each of us only pay RM54.60 quite affordable huh? Duh… of course! We wanted to save cost so we squeezed into a small room and sneakily cooked in our room else it wouldn’t be that cheap. If we went out for dinner, it will cost at least RM300-400.

Overall… the holiday is good… relaxed a bit but it’s not enough. I want more!! Eheheh… when is the next round? It was so fun.

We were grouped into two groups to prepare for our dinner. Khoon How, LeeLing, Audrey. Lee and Hui Yee went to buy some food from nearby seafood restaurants but who knows… too many people were dining at both restaurants. One would took the cook more than 1 hour to prepare our fried rice so they decided to try their luck somewhere else. They needed to wait for 30 minutes for our fried rice at the second restaurant. So at the end, they bought plain rice back.

Ann, Jee, Jimmy and I stayed back to prepare for the steamboat session. Actually only Jee and Jimmy did all the preparations. *BLEK* Not to mention, we wrapped the smoke detector with the shower cap!!! We thought of using condom to wrap it hehehe… but then why waste? Or no one bring any I think… and resorted to use shower cap.

Please note that we were not supposed to cook in there! Gosssh… I hope I’m not teaching you guys something bad here and I hope the resort won’t sue me. We are very considerate bunch, we cleaned up everything carefully after that.

After all of them came back, our session started. Out of curiosity, we checked the kettle to see how many electricity it used, we were worried that the power outlet in there couldn’t support our electrical steamboat and would blow the fuse… if this happened, we’re in big trouble! Upon checking, YAY! It’s 2000Watt! Our steamboat only uses 1500Watt! Phew…

We couldn’t finish our food! We had five rounds of cooking going on, each round with different ingredients but after the fourth round, everyone was full. So the last one was left there in the pot to cool and to be disposed in the morning.

Man… the leftovers really stinks!!! Lee opened the cover of the pot before we prepared to sleep after arranging the beds to accomodate 9 of us in a room that was meant for 4 people only. My first reaction… I accused Jimmy loudly of farting inside the blanket. LOL!!! Poor guy… coz it happened that I flipped the blanket the smell came out. He looked at me and said that he didn’t. Then I questioned him about the smell. Suddenly I heard the closing of the pot cover… YIKESSS… it’s the smell of the leftovers! *BLUSH* Sorry…

We all slept on and off except someone… wow… he really slept soundly! *GRIN* I couldn’t sleep well because my position was just right below the air-con and it kept blowing into my face.

We decided to wake up at 5.30am to view the sunrise but… it rained in the middle of the night heavily with thunders and lightnings too.

Went to Malaysia China Friendship Park at Jalan Song to take some photos. Click here for its details. Here’s some photos to share. Since it’s night, you can’t really see much.

The entrance; The restaurant, only open in the morning.

The surroundings.

This is the so called wishing well. Many people throw money in there and hope for better luck.

Couldn’t take the pic of Admiral Cheng Ho , the spotlights were malfunctioned. Even Photoshop couldn’t save ahhaha…

It’s a very nice place to go have a stroll in the morning or the evening. Too bad I spotted a plastic bag in the pond! Those irresponsible people!

So that’s all for today 🙂
