Morib Gold Coast

Happy holiday everyone!! Selamat Hari Raya for all my muslim friend!!

I actually plan to do this post before the holiday start but I have to focus on my piano practical exam so... Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with you guys if you are planning to have a little getaway from the busy city life.

I personally do not recommend this place AT ALL! But from this post you can sort of get some idea about how is places like this looks like and what I have did with my friends, then you can choose a better place instead for your holidays or any other event in the coming days.

I went there in the first or second week of July where everyone are busy for work and now is holiday my turn to busy. Anyway just doing this so that i can sort of feel like holiday. sort of..

Without further ado, lets get started!

 The beautiful road side view where i capture in the car.. Whenever you saw this, you knew you are away from the city already.. 

We gather up around 11, then had breakfast together and drive all the way to Morib. When we reach there we still have to wait a couple hours to check in to the resort so we had a seafood lunch which this will always be one of the must do routine whenever we go somewhere. We went Bay Watch Restaurant which recommended by a friend of Mr.Low.

The view of the restaurant. 

We ordered oatmeal prawn, oyster egg, small octopus, clam, fish and vege. The taste was kind of average only, not to said very nice. FURTHER MORE!! There are a lot of flies there because its near to the beach perhaps and the price wasn't cheap. So i don't recommend any of you to come here because its not worth trying. Try to search for a better restaurant!! 

However, nothing gonna break the mood when you are hanging our with the right group of people. So we still enjoy the meal and as usual, when girls like us met up together, we take pictures. A lot of pictures! #girlsbeinggirls

So we went to Morib Gold Coast, we brought voucher from Groupon for 2 set. Each set for 2 people. There are total 5 of us so we top up for one more person and share the total expenses that we spent. Without adding any extra expenses we spent, its about RM80 for each of us which including a studio suite room with one dinner and breakfast, 2 day unlimited entrance of water theme park, private jacuzzi, private balcony and two single bed for my room but can fit in 3 person. Its originally suppose to be a queen size bed but we thought of adding one extra bed, however it turns out 2 single bed or 1 queen size bed is just nice for 3 girls. 

 The view from our room.

 The bath room with jacuzzi. 

 Our room. 

If you feel like checking out this place, you can go to Groupon or SocialLiving website because i saw they still having promotion over there. The studio suite that we stay they normally charge RM400 plus for one night which is totally not worth it. 

The reason i said so is because their customer service is so bad that we check in to the room already but it is not yet been clean up. This is a super terrible experience where all of us first met. We waited for few hours in the room just to wait their staff to came over and clean up. 

We couldn't go anywhere until they came to clean up the mess. So we just chill in the room and chat. The best thing of us is, we will never had enough time to talk and we are hardly run out of topic. So.. it was fine.. =D

Next is theme park time, before showing the pictures, i wanted to shout out a huge THANKS to my bestie JUSTINE LOH! Without her camera, this part is gonna be so sick because i expect its a big water theme park. But its actually pretty small, its more like family type of place. 

I brought bikini but its definitely not a suitable place to wear that because.. it just doesn't feel right at all. So just bring normal swim suit IF you are coming over here. I layer it up with another T-shirt and tie a knock so i can have more cover under the sun. 

So theme park time~!

We can always have fun with limited resources. By that i mean.. Ladies and Gentleman, we are about to bring selca aka self capture to the next level..  UNDER WATER!

When we come to this pool we almost finish everything already and there are nothing left to play. It might look silly but we did put in some effort to take these pictures and i spend some time to edit it as well because originally it was kind of blur. So.. here you go..

I know we look sucks at first but it become better afterwards. Hahaaa..

This is so funny because Gin try to take pic of both of us and end up we bump to each other.. HAHA.. 

Please excuse us for the following pictures.. =p

Thats a wrap face! haha.. sounds like photo shooting.. But we had fun indeed.. And discover some skills as well. One of the most important thing to look good under water is you have to be relax so that your face emotion will looks more natural instead of looks like trying hard to hold the breath and close the eyes. You can still keep your eyes close but in a relaxing way. Other than that, just have fun!! 

I teach Gin to swim while YY selca under water. 

 Me and YY go play around this... idk what it suppose to be called.. while Gin is taking selca under water!

 YY looking so good here!

 End all the crazy theme park pictures here! Anyway, picture above is one of my favourite shoot among all! The water creates an illusion of smaller and shaper face. Hahaaa.. Thanks Gin!! 

Gin took some time in the wash room.. So.. =D

After a bunch of crazy photos.. here are some beautiful sunset view pictures.. i guess we looks more normal here.. Do we? haha..

We were inside the theme park until the closing time which is around 6 something i guess.. Mr.Low and Ms Tan went back to their room early until we done with the theme park they came down and ask us go for dinner because its about to start.

BUT!! I insist to go to the beach because I'm a huge lover of ocean, beach, sea and etc. So I have to check it out no matter what!

Thou you cant really see our faces but i guess it has another feeling right? Or does it looks creepy? Anyway, i am obsessed with this kind of picture because for me it looks romantic and mystery at once. The sunset view itself creates a beautiful romantic atmosphere and because you can't see our emotion you can imagine whether its sad or happy face in the pic.

Candid! Aren't they so sweet and cute?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

They are just so perfect for each other! Thanks for bringing us here and being the best adviser all the time! 

Guess whats this?? Its the footprints of hermit crab!! We will never know this if Mr.Low didnt tell, this is the advantage going out with teacher. Hahaa.. So now you know! Follow the footprints to find the hermit crab ya next time!! JK ^^

The hermit crab! 

One last shot of the beautiful sunset before we leave for dinner. #thepowerofnature

We went back room to change, its not a coincident that all of us are in long dress. YY's idea and i said yes because i think it will be fun. 

Dinner time!! Its a buffet dinner that included in the vouchure, the food was not that bad. It might sounds stupid but i think the most impressive food among al is their salad! They have more than one kind of salad i forgot whats the name and its so good. Very refreshing! But thats from my own perspective, i am pretty sure won't said so because she doesn't even take one bite of greens. So no worries, the other food was nice as well.  

This is what i had. Didn't take much picture here because we were starving and bust talking. We stay there until they are about to close. This is the fun about hanging out with your friends. We've talk so much about everything, updating, sharing, basically spent some quality time together. This is one of the moment i really enjoy because sharing your problem with Mr.Low, you can always get an unexpected answer. 

Again the best adviser ever!!

After that we drove around to find some snack. And when we back to the resort we back to our own room. Girls like us, we won't had enough. So we come out with an idea where we shower together!!

Dont get excited! With close on okay! Swim suit basically. Luckily i brought two set. After that we gonna have the jacuzzi together and just chill. 

Hmm.. So nice.. We spent about 3 hours? i don't remember, but we spent a really long time there to chat.. We took pic for a while then we decided to bring those snacks that we brought earlier and just chill.. 

We've talk so much, mostly relationship.. Its so good where you have friends to share. And it is so important for us to update each other because we hardly meet up nowadays as all of us are busying with different things. So its really matter that you share your feelings with others, someone that is worth trusting of course to release some stress and sadness or even happiness. You will feel so good after sharing regardless of any type of story.  

I really enjoy that even though our skin are so crease after the long time immerse in water. 

So if you are going to anywhere similar like us, remember to always bring more than one swim suit or bikini because you'll never know when you needed them. And bring some snacks along for girl's talk, if its possible bring wine!! It will be so perfect.. 

And if you're on vocation with your friends or family and things doesn't turn out as good as expected, don't worried or get terrified because you can still work things out! For me, going with the right person are my first priority of all! Because they can make simple things become enjoyable. 

I guess thats it! Have a safe weekend! Thank you so much for reading i hope you enjoy!

June Baby

Its the last day of June! So there is no more excuses for me to keep procrastinating it again and again. Have to get this post done before the day end! (Yes.. i've started it on 30th June and post it on today)

So as you can judge from the title, its about Birthday Celebration!! Yay!! Surprisingly, friends of mine that has the birthday on June was a lot more than i expected! And.. this is one of the reason Melbourne Day 2 post is still on processing. Excuses.. i know!!

Back to the topic, 20th June was my super best friend Justine's birthday! Because we are getting really close lately, so i was thinking to do something special on this special day! Well.. what happened was a random night before 20th her boyfriend text us (foundation friends) and ask if we can meet up for lunch in a cafe. I am like.. what?? No!! 20 is a new the first year of getting number "2" in front of your years old so we have to do something special!

Hence, i suggest that we do picnic in our university mines campus! It sounds pretty crazy, insane, brainless, weird i know but i am super glad that things turn out well.. and it was not that awkward as we thought.=)

Food and stuff were prepared by KS Lee (Jus's bf), XiaoQian, and of course me. Ks made nuggets and hot dogs, xq made fried chicken chop, fried mee hon, i made her sandwiches in two flavor Tuna and Eggs, fruits stick, significant red eggs, and tortilla corn chips. 

Because she is a super big pink, my melody and hello kitty fans, So i get her a hello kitty picnic cloth (#notsurehowitsupposetobecalled) to make everything looks more fancy! Also, i add a little lemon pieces on the pink cup that match with the theme and some lace looks like paper on plate as a decorations.

TaDaaaaa~~ the Birthday Girl!!

In the picture above, she is holding a Hello Kitty customized cake which is also from me as a surprise for her! Me and Ks ordered the cake at Taman Desa. I've forgotten whats the name of the cake shop but its   located right besides RT pastry cake shop. We've search for a few before this and reason we choose this is the price is more affordable and it offers what we wants! 

Super in love with the result! Details of the cake was so pretty and it turn out way more beautiful than we've expected. Tips: you can ask them to change the color of the base like i do. Originally it wasn't baby pink but i just thought it will looks nicer with this as well as the cream around the cake, i asked them to change to the other pattern and color as well. 

I went and bought all the food that needed at evening a day before then made all them at night. And i have a super early class tomorrow plus i have to pick Ks up first. So it was actually pretty tired but when i see everyone is there and everyone is so happy i felt everything is worth. Because Justine is really surprise and blessed! 

One thing thats really funny was i pick up Ks at his place so that the foods can put in my car first, then i drop him at train station for Justine to pick him up as how they normally do it.. So when i reach uni right, i have to go to cafeteria to put the cake in the fridge first before i go into class. Then, at that time when they just arrived at car park as well. I park slightly further so that Justine won't check out all the foods. But when i walk closer to them and said hi... our emotion change..

  WE WERE WEARING THE SAME BLOUSE COINCIDENTALLY!!!! 

We actually bought the shirt together but we never expect this gonna happened and its in her birthday! Haha.. Then, we don't dare to walk in to class together so she stay outside for about 30 mins i guess.. No one really notice it until we sit together after a short break. And that made my friends laugh non-stop! But... it wasnt that bad actually.. Its like back to those really young age where your parents tend to dress you up similarly with your sis or cousin. 

I made her some red eggs as well! Its my first time doing this and its her first time eating this! For Chinese, eating red egg in birthday actually represent something good but i not really sure whats that. But i just made this because i scare the food its not enough but anyway her mum said i am so old school!! T.T.. 

The cake again! Tips: You can choose the flavor you like, but price will be vary. I've choose "Sweden Chocolate" for her because she is super picky on food and i think this sounds the best for her. Ks ordered another one which is My Melody cake for her as well in Black Forest for night celebration but according to Jus it wasn't taste that nice. So i definitely recommend this! 

 The cute Xiao Qian! Luckily she just finish her final so she can make it to this small party! We miss her so much ever since she transfer to sunway! Absolutely amazing to have her back in this special day!

Candid shot by ME!! 

Lastly, Us! I am really amazed by the friendship of us because i wasn't expect we can still stay so close thou we are all in different courses and university. We all have different class schedule and things to take care of. Also, they are both in relationship so i really thought as the time we spend together become lesser and lesser we gonna be further apart as time pass. But things work completely different than what i thought. We are super close, we still share everything through line and most importantly we really be there for each other whenever we need people to talk to. It sounds really cheesy but.. Yea.. Hopefully we still stay like this in the future okay!! Love you guys! 

So now its my turn. Well, i did mention to my friends earlier that i wasn't in a mood to celebrate due to.. something.. Also, i tell Jus already do not need to do anything to repay me stuff like that. So i didn't really plan or expect anything for myself.

But a day before my birthday which is 24th, Justine play a trick to me saying that Ks is going to meet up his brother gang at some place which just right opposite house but she don't want to join them and she'll come my place instead. And i said... YES!

She is always afraid of taking lift alone and she called and said that she's lost in some where. I went down and pick her up then she sort of hold off the time a little then XQ, her bf Zhi Xiang and Ks shown up! I already knew that something is gonna happened when she dragging the time but i wasn't expect XQ will be here! Because she went and post at our group chat said she is jealous that Jus can meet me at night stuff like that.. It was really unexpected! 

And.. i didn't know Jus is plan this until she dragging the time. I am just finished shower and go down with naked face and slightly wet hair with spec with home cloths.. Hahaa.. Super natural look i would said.. 

Almost forget to mention this, we actually met up at the morning for the 3rd times of HPV injections!! "mission complete!!" Then i was thinking of spending more time with them since we meeting up and we usually do that as well. Right before that they throw me home, they bought me a slice of  Padi House Oreo Cheese Cake like a little pre-celebration at car. It was unexpected as well because Jus just keep saying she is craving for that ever since we got in to her car. I wasn't think of anything more.. Hahaa.. 

Purpose of they doing is actually to make me feel sad. But they sort of fail on this cause i am very happy with them! Who cares the size of the cake?? Hahaa.. After they drop me off, they claimed that they have own stuff to do, repair car and what not but actually they went to bought ingredient that needed for sushi and made it for me at night. Of course pick up the customized piano cake as well. Quite touched because both of them doesn't cook often and XQ even told me its Jus first time fried egg or something. Haha.. Thank youboth of you so much! It taste delicious! Dont worry! Hahaaa.. 

Back to the night celebration, purpose of them came all the way from puchong is to accompany me pass 1200 so that i won't feel vain?? Haha.. Just kidding.. They just being here to pass through the time where i probably gonna be really sad.. So thank god they are here! 

Picture time~ 

Its the first time they see me with spec! Hahaa.. I use to wear cons since high school.. 

With the cutie pie KXQ! Really unexpected to see her.. And thank you Justine once again for planning this! it might looks normal for those for you who reading but if you know the reason behind this, it actually does meant a lot. ♥♥♥

They expect me to cry but sadly it didn't happened. However, Justine success at the end of the day when i get back to home because she made me one album with lots of pic of us and send me an e-mail with instruction on it. Basically how it work is, I have to go to a Youtube link to open up a song called "Kiss the rain" by Yiruma. One of my favorite pianist from Korea btw. Then each and every photo she wrote something like a little story. Thats so... touch.. 

Posted this pic in my twitter that night to prove that i did open the link that Jus gave me! iPhone cover from XQ! 

The cake that they customized for me!! Its from the same shop i order for Jus as well. But this is in Mocha flavor. Taste not bad as well but i still recommend "Sweden Chocolate" for those who prefer chocolate more. 

Thank you so much for being here with me!! 

As for the exact day which is 25th of June, i tried to ask Jus and XQ to meet up thou i mentioned i am not in a mood of celebrating it but.. when it comes to that day i don't felt like being alone. Anyway, Jus keep mention that there will be someone gonna celebrate with me, she said they don't want to disturb me and stuff like that. But in fact, there is no one at that moment. 

Until around noon, i text my tuition kaki and Gin as well ask if they can meet up for dinner or something. Both Eve and Gin act perfectly one saying that she got no transport to pick me up, Gin said that YY is still at goldcost, Poh Yee is not at KL, Teacher has to fetch student.. Give me all sort of excuses and i just called it off. But i didnt expect like a party or something, just thought of meeting them since we didn't met for a long time and i thought they sort of can't reject me cause i use birthday as a reason. But.. they are pretty smart because they gave really reasonable reason that really make sense. So i didn't doubt anything from them.

I was then quite down and tired as well because i didn't sleep well last night and woke up super early. Until evening i called my other friends said to meet up at night to have some drinks and before they decide where to go i called off the plan again because i just dont felt like going anywhere anymore because i am sleepy and tired at that moment.

Somehow around 8 something like that i called one of my friend again said i wanted to had some Korean cuisine and he said Yes. So he was rushing from somewhere else all the way to Pavilion to pick me up thou he just had dinner. Then, we went to Nak Won at Korean Village at Ampang. I've been craving it ever since.. last few months i guess. 

While we enjoying the delicious meal, out of sudden he receive a called that he pretend its his cousin but its actually gin calling him to bring me back earlier. So end up he telling me that his cousin is coming to his house so he has to go back earlier. Also, my sis kept text me as well ask me to pick her up while she can actually just walk back from tuition center to my uncle house. 

And stuff and stuff.. There we are at tuition center.

I called my sis to come down but she said teacher has something to talk to me so i go up.. And ta daaa... All of them are there!! This is really surprise!! 

We didn't take much picture because it's been a while since we last met and we were so busy to update each other. But this is why i want to meet up them on my birthday, not for any exclusive party, luxury wine.. Just wast to talk with them because normal days we will be busy on our own stuff. Hardly to meet up nowadays when we grow up. I even forgot to take pic of the cake but luckily Eve already took some picture of it before i came. So i steal this from her Insta.. =)

A selca version of us! Can you tell i am feeling blessed? =D

Right  after i cut the cake, Gin hold my hand and bring me go downstairs.. Basically is pull.. Haha.. I am kind a shock because i don't think so there is any other surprise she can give but guess what....

Evangelina Bong is Here!!! 

This is so unexpected because there is no connection at all between her and my tuition gang. Until now i have no idea is who contact who to give me this surprise but i just want to said Thank you so much! Again, its not about beautiful cake or what so ever, having them to shown up that night is just more than enough. I feel really really blessed. 

I am sorry i have to use something to cover up my face here because i look really terrible i don't know why. Anyway, if u are reading this, thanks for dropping by once again! 

Following up is with family. My mum got me this beautiful cake. Thanks mum!!  

My aunt has prepared some red eggs and pudding specially for me! It is well decorated and taste really good as well! Thank you!! 

Hopefully all my wishes will come true! 

♥♥ Mum ♥♥

♥♥ Cousin aka Rich sun ♥♥

 ♥♥Cousin aka YGin♥♥

One more pic of me and Gin to thanks her for planning out all these for me!! Thank you sooo much! 

End it up with this another outings because right after spend some time with family, we are out again to catch up because we have so much things to talk. 

Until next time! See ya!! Thanks for reading it!
