College Graduation Trip | PG > MLK > KL

Ohh my diploma life... It has ended a while ago. So I supposed you'd know that this is a super duper throwback post to April where I had a graduation trip with my college besties. Haha. There are four of us and we did have a great trip! Enjoyed every moment and explore places that we'd never been before. Tbh I have a bad memory, so I'd already forgotten some of the parts. LOL. Pictures will do the talking I guess! :D


It was a 5D4N trip and we wanted to visit home town of each of us. Starting from Penang > Kepala Batas > Nibong Tebal > Ipoh > Melaka > Kuala Lumpur > Penang.



1ST STOP: KEPALA BATAS

We departed to Chien's home town in the morning and we spent our day there, visited the farm under the hot sun!! 

Imma dog lover!! :D

Can you spot the pineapple?



2ND STOP: NIBONG TEBAL

Before the sun goes down, we headed to 2nd station which is Cindy's home town. This time we were going to have a boat trip! Thanks to Cindy's friend brought us out on the boat to visit the place where the fishes grow. Sorry I don't know what it is called. Haha. 


You can definitely train your balancing over here. Either balance yourself or fall into the sea!

Chien, Jolynn, Fish, Cindy. (:

It's time for dinner fishes!!

That 'toilet' kinda spoiled the whole scenery.

First time seeing sunset in the middle of the sea!

We sailed to Penang 2nd Bridge aka Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge after the sun goes down! And we were right underneath of the bridge!

Hi boat driver!

Definitely a great experience!!



3RD STOP: IPOH

It's kind of like a tradition for us to have dim sum at Ipoh to kick start our trip. We like the dim sum here at Foh San Restaurant. We just had breakfast here then we went to the next station already!




4TH STOP: MELAKA 

The real trip has just begun. My first time exploring the food in Melaka! Right after we reached Melaka we straight went to the first place in our checklist, the coconut shake!! 

There was a queue but the waiting time wasn't long. However, the coconut shake was just like another refreshing drink to me.


You must be thinking how can we not go to the famous Capitol Satay Celup! Yes we did!! We went there for dinner! 


If you want to skip the long queue, just make sure you are there already before the shop opens!

Had this 鸡蛋冰 while queuing. Just a normal ice-cream.

Quite a number of choices I can say.

Nom nom nom!!

Visit Jonket street right after dinner is a must for tourists!

 I super loveeeeeeeeee these durian puffs. One puff one bite, the durian cream just burst in your mouth!! Saliva dropping already...

 Got a temporary ink too! 


Another must-try food in the checklist!! We visited this Chung Wah restaurant the next day! Luckily we were there early before the long queue starts!

Never thought that these chicken rice balls will be so nice!!! 

 This ais kacang flavoured with gula melaka is the best ais kacang I've ever had!! They made me go cray I'd to order a 2nd bowl to satisfy my taste buds!!


The other time we were just wandering around the city, taking pictures, doing all the typical tourist thingy. Lol.






Yes, I love Domo-Kun and tell me where can I get a pink Domo-Kun!



5TH STOP: KUALA LUMPUR

Basically I've forgotten what we had done on the forth and fifth day. I think we were just walking around the city and eat all the time!

Went to KLCC Park for a walk.

Famous bakery in town. Tous les Jours it is!! Love this place a lot not only because I'm a bread lover and their decorations, but also because the seeds of love of my bf and I kinda started to grow at here. Heh.

Did I just scare you with my face? Haha. #sorrynotsorry

Another tradition, instant cup noodles as supper!! Isn't it the best thing to do during a trip?? :D

 Lunch at Fong Lye Restaurant @ The Gardens on the last day!!

We drove here but we took a flight back to Penang. Haha. It was our first flight together!

 I've no idea why but if you asked me what to have in the airport, I'll definitely choose fast food every time. Haha. I don't eat fast food but I only have them when I'm in the airport waiting to depart. Lol.

 Typical Asians. Hahaha.

Our study life for Diploma course had come to an end. With this graduation trip, we had a wonderful moments and created a beautiful memories. (:


Watch this video edited by Cindy for this trip. :D


What a long post!! It's time to say goodbye! :D

Weekend Getaway | Cameron Highland

It was my first time here in Cameron Highland. I was really excited to enjoy my little getaway this time in the chilly air for 4D3N. I know I've been having getaway too often recently but I think it's a good thing! Travel more and you'll see more different things and at the same time, you may learn something new too! If you haven't read about my last getaway in Port Dickson, you may click here.

Basically we don't really have any plannings during the getaway other than eating and sleeping. Lol. But we did visit some places and I'll talk about it accordingly. 


BEE FARM 
I've totally no interest on bees obviously but I do like their production, honey!! When I was visiting the bee farm, I was like so scared of the bees to sting me. Haha. Never ever let insects approach me, I'll run!!! 



BIG RED STRAWBERRY FARM
A place you must go whenever you visit Cameron Highland. As when people say about Cameron Highland, it will always link to strawberry or corn etc. They have plenty of strawberry farms and the one we visited was Big Red. We went there for two consecutive days just to have their desserts that is all made by strawberries!! Strawberry lover shouldn't miss this!!
   
No filter on this pic!! How green!

Pretty colourful cactus. (:

We turned into a strawberry in seconds!


After the photo session, it's time for FOOD!!! I only took picture on the first day but it's also the same on what we ordered on the second day. However, I did try a new dessert which is their Strawberry Yoghurt with Honey and it tastes like heaven gosh!! I wanted to eat that again and I'm going to make them myself since I bought all the ingredients already. Haha.  

Saw that fondue?? Super yumm!!!


CAMERON VALLEY TEA FARM
On the last day before going back to KL, we managed to visit tea farm to take beautiful pictures of the scenery and also with the scenery. Haha. Tea farm is also one of the main tourist spot in Cameron Highland.

It was a sunny day and so we need ice-cream!

It was a great getaway especially you get to spend your whole day and night in that cool atmosphere. It was so cold until they don't even have a fan in their apartment! How awesome is it that you can save up to a big amount on utilities. Haha. 


My first semester has came to the end this week. Next week I'll be facing my exam but I got only 4 subjects which is pretty stress-free I guess since the dates of examination are separated for almost a week before we have the next paper. I shall talk to you guys next time. Stay tuned! Xoxo.
