The most amazing trip...

... happens when the ppl you go with have the same wavelength as you and made you laughed till you either vomit out the food you have been eating, or spit out the drinks that you were drinking or laughed till your tummy cramp and couldn't breathe and almost died (that will be a great way to die wei! laugh till die! :D)

anyway, went on a 3days 2nights trip to Ruby's Resort last weekend and we had so much fun that we are already planning another trip elsewhere! :D

Here's what happened:

18th June 2011, Saturday

Woke up at 5.30am, 30mins before the alarm rang. Too excited! :D Was suppose to wake Small Cow up at 6am but i had this really strong feeling that she will not be able to be on time since the previous night she was drinking heavily and got really drunk :D Tried calling her and the call was diverted to Vmail the whole time. Feeling not willing to delay the trip, i called her aunt (who is staying with her) to wake her up :P

After some mini dramas, we were on the way and arrived very late (9am) at the meeting point :D Bie, Nikie, Daph and Fion was already there waiting for us :D

Along the way to our 1st pit stop, the co-drivers were busy BBM-ing each other :D We arrived the 1st pit stop at Temerloh for toilet break and ciggie break in about an hour. The drivers were crazy! Speeding at average speed of 140km/hr. My heart stopped a few times. We left the 1st pit stop after 10mins break. Immediately after we left, we realized we did not pump air to the tyres and buy ice. So we ended up stopping at the following pit stop at Gambang. Arrived Gambang in less than 15mins :D.

We finally arrived at the resort at 11.30am. Kidnapped Aunty Ruby to the famous har mee in Kemaman (this time round the taste not that good already... dunno why leh)

After har mee, we went to the nearby supermarket to buy ice, green tea and plastic cups for us to prepare our drinking session that night :D. After that, we went to hunt for medications for Nikie & Heavenlytigerlily. After running all these errands, we went back to the resort to check in :D

The beach!

After checking in and lepaking for awhile, we all changed into our swimsuits and went over to the beach! Oh my! The waves were strong and we had sooooooooooo much fun laughing and talking and giving ourselves scrubs with the sands (konon la wanna do spa) :D After about 2hrs or so at the beach, we rinsed off the sands and proceed to the cafe to have Aunty Ruby's yummilicious ice kacang and fried chicken wings and a big jug of Ribena :D

looks plain... but underneath is full of hidden treasures like lychee, longan, jagung, chendol, grass jelly and i forgotten what, topped syrup and milk laden shaved ice. Sesungguh-nya refreshing after playing at the beach! :D

A dozen of Aunty Ruby's famous fried chicken wings! :D

We lepak lepak some more and then went back to our room to wash up for dinner :D We had BBQ dinner by the beach :D

BBQ-ed food... we dont have to bbq the food so shiok! :D

Chicken wings, lamb and squids! :D

After stuffing ourselves silly and laughed until stomachache, Daph, Fion and Heavenlytigerlily suddenly hilang..... we decided to drive out to get more ice to start drinking and bonding/bitching :D

On the way out, we saw the most beautiful sight...full moon shining brightly above the sea and reflected on the sea :D

I know this pic doesn't do the view any justice (sorry la... used my bb camera)... imagine it to be 10 times brighter or something la.. :D it was really gorgeous! :D

After getting the ice and kerepok lekor, on the way back to the resort, Bie and Nikie did their usual stunts of bantering between them both. which was really entertaining. Small Cow and I kept on laughing non stop. So cute la both of them!! :D

We drank Ice Wine (too sweet for my liking), Beer and Chivas + Green Tea that night

Once we arrived the resort, we terus minum and chat and bonded. Found out that Nikie and I know some common assholes in our lives :D Bie raised her white flag not long later and left only 3 of us continue to chat and bond and cleared up some old misunderstandings. Dunno what time did we went back to the room to sleep. But i know we set alarm at 9am to go for breakfast :D

19 June 2011, Sunday

Woke up at 9am to try Aminah's nasi lemak (she informed us the nite before that she will be preparing nasi lemak for breakfast)

Nasi Lemak! I like it coz the sambal is super pedas!! :D

This is my breakfast view.... damn shiok lor! :D

After breakfast, our initial plan is to go back and sleep... but mana boleh?? how can we waste the sun and the sands and the sea??? :D we chatted more and then they decided to talk about momoks and stuffs until my bulu remang.... and i abruptly excused myself to the room :D went to the room to change into swimsuit to continue to play at the beach.

That's when i got sunburned :P coz i was too "clever" i figure there's no point putting on suntan oil since i will be playing in the water as well...... :P

The waves was really strong.... pretty freaky... especially when i dont know how to swim!! :D after lepaking for about 2 hours, we got hungry and decided to head to get lekor and satar as our lunch back coz Small Cow was still sleeping. On the way there, i teringat Aunty Ruby brought us to this Nasi Kukus place that is really yummilicious. But i wasnt really sure how to go... so since Bie was driving, i asked her if she mind getting lost to look for this place or not. She didnt mind, so off we went... and we didnt get lost - much - only once, turn too early :D

What was really flattering was, I've only been there once, in December and Kak Yam actually remembers me and she ended up giving us complementary kuih to eat whilst waiting for our food to be ready :D

Complementary kuih tepung talam from Kak Yam

Nasi Kukus Kak Yam @ Taman Chukai Utama :D

Called Aunty Ruby to ask her if she wants us to tapau or not. And she immediately got us to tapau 7 packets for herself, her staffs, mudder and fudder :D It was really good :D

After eating and tapau-ing, we head back to the resort and stop at the roadside on the way to buy our satar and lekor and ice to continue drinking :D


Once back to the resort, we just lepak at the Beach Bar :D and whilst Small Cow tuck into her Nasi Kukus, we starting drinking...

Ice cold beer by the beach with sea breeze blowing at us.... this is life wei! :D

Whilst drinking, Bie played with Stout the cow masquerading as a dog :D until he is tired...

Stout splat on the ground

Heavenlytigerlily on the swing under the tree house by the beach... love this scene... so blissful :D

Started bon fire for the night

We lepak and laughed so much until my stomach started to cramp and they just wouldnt let me stop laughing! LOL!! then Heavenlytigerlily ended up spitting out her drinks a couple of times.... there was a moment of lull and Nikie suggested we play the continue the story game where we cant see the previous sentence and see how our story will ended up... and here's our essay:


That night, i decided to join Aunty Ruby, Mudder and Fudder for dinner as i havent spend much time with them this trip. We went over to Kampung Cherating for dinner. Immediately after we enter the restaurant, it began to rain.

rain! :(

Pretty cheap and good food! :D

We went back to the resort and Bie they all went out with Bie's friend for dinner alre... i suddenly got migraine attack and got Aunty Ruby to pass me the spare key so that i can take a rest.

I missed out on all the funny jokes... anyways, after they come back, i got dragged out to join them to chit chat and we decided to be considerate, knowing how noisy we are, we ended up chatting with each other over BBM group chat and then when something funny was said, we will suddenly burst into laughter.... damn silly!! LOL

20 June 2011, Monday

Time to check out :( we woke up at 10am to pack and check out. not before we have another few rounds of laughter!! :D

Checked out at 12pm and then we proceeded to Hai Peng. Was stuck in a jam on the way, quite bad jam. coz a crane broke down on the bridge. We were so hungry, and since the jam is non moving, Nikie and i went down from the car to buy keropok lekor :D we reached Hai Peng about 30mins later.

Wisma Hai Peng

This is only part of the stuffs i ate that morning :D

We jammed back to Cherating. And again, we went down to get more lekor and satar :D then we went over to Turtle Sanctuary coz Bie wanna see baby turtle... mana tau, the Sanctuary is closed on Mon and Tues :D

We head back south and stopped to buy ikan bilis and then head back to KL. Even that also we ended up laughing all the way back coz we were exchanging voice note between our car and Bie's car and we kept on cracking jokes until we laughed non stop!!! :D

When we reach KL, we were immediately hit with reality.... TRAFFIC JAM!!! aiyooooooo......

And that, my kawan kawan and karchengs karchengs, were the fantastic trip with fantastic people to a fantastic paradise ;)

the sick virus has finally reached me, i think. woke up with not much voice and when i tried to sing along to the songs whilst driving, i sound like chicken kena slaughter =.="

ppl has been falling sick around me. 1st, it was Daph, then Miao, then small cow, then fudder and mudder and finally me! :D

i rather fall sick now and recover within 2 weeks! coz will be going for the short family trip to Dungun, Terengganu this coming 9th April! :D super excited! :D i love love love love love beach holidays! i cant get enough of it! and if got chance, maybe we will stop by at Aunty Ruby's to say hello and have the fantastic ais kacang~! :D

I am looking forward to April actually :D Family trip, gathering with the ex-ITT staffs (super excited about this!) and then ending the month with a trip to Phuket! weeee!!!

Life is good, i should feel blessed and thankful :D

superb weekend! :)

Friday, 11 March 2011

Left office around 10ish coz i needed to finish up all my paperworks before i start my short vacay :D Went over to SS14 for BKT (5cm's favourite joint), then Small Cow came over to meet us after her OTT. After sembang a bit, 5cm and Finger rushed off to catch their midnight show. Small Cow and i decided to head over to USJ to kidnap daph :D We had froyo!! :D

the outlet in USJ a bit the limited choice lor... only got 8 different flavours. i still prefer the one near my place :D got 12 flavours to choose from!! :D

After Froyo, Daph was still hungry, so we popped over to the nearby coffee shop / foodcourt to makan. Ordered Wat Tan Hor and Chai Tao Kueh. We talked and laughed until Daph really need to go back coz she needed to pack for the trip to Penang the next day (i also haven't pack my bag for the trip to Ruby's! :P)

Small cow vroom vroom* back to SS14 to drop me at my car. We ended up chatting more, then we both realised we forgotten to pinjam Daph's toilet =.=" so we vroom vroom back to Daph's place to use her toilet before we vroom vroom back to SS14 :P when we reached SS14, we saw 5cm and Finger were outside the 7-11 drinking. We stopped there and lepak abit and i conned 5cm in to belanja-ing :D drank only 1 bottle and we all really need to get going alre... i needed to pack my bag and sleep!! :D

*vroom vroom - small cow changed her exhaust pipe =.="

Saturday, 12 March 2011

Aunty Ruby's bday!!! :D Headed over to Mudder's place at around 12.45pm, lepak a bit, then off we go! :D Stopped over at Burger King for lunch before we headed east. Mudder called Aunty Ruby to wish her happy birthday, mudder acted like it's a no big deal thingie. After eating and smoking, i called Aunty Ruby pulak to wish her happy bday and tell her that i will see her in June :D the whole journey was full of laughter, laughed laughed laughed until cry, until cheeks, jaw & stomach ache! :D Saw a bunch of cute ang moh cyclists with nice butts! :D the whole car (excluding Fudder) went: Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh........... :D we needed a bowl each for our dripping saliva wei! :P Fudder was driving the Avanza like some sports car and i was sitting at the rear end and it was super bumpy!! :D

the view that greeted us when we alighted the car :D

We arrived Cherating around 5ish and went to the nearby pasar malam to buy food coz we didnt know if we will have any food at Aunty Ruby's or not... heck, we didnt even know if we will have any place to stay or not! coz apparently it's a full house! :D We arrived, the 1st person we saw was Aunty Suzi. Aunty Ruby was busy somewhere :D When we finally saw Aunty Ruby and wished her happy bday, she was so surprised and kept on grinning non stop! After a round of hugging session with Aunty Ruby and Amazing Aminah, Aunty Ruby got us 2 rooms :D Some rubbish decided to cancel their trip last minute coz scared of tsunami =.=" Ironically, Thundermiao, Ina and i got the same room as my previous trip :D. After settling down our stuffs, we went to the beach to just chill :D

look at the strong waves!

the clouds were coming in... :)

taken when Mudder, Fudder, Coco, Thundermiao and Ina decided to explore all the way to Club Med and i wasnt that hard working to walk 4kms on the beach. nuh uh... i rather sit and enjoy the warm wind wei! :P

nah.. 4kms down the beach will be Club Med :P

Was pretty much stoning by the beach when i heard Aunty Ruby calling for me. Went back to the resort and was greeted with yummilicous bbq food!!! :D We ate and ate and ate and laughed and laughed and laughed so much, i m amazed i am able to gorged so much food into me! :D The planned was to take out all 3 bday cakes at 9pm sharp as a surprise to Aunty Ruby. Mana tau when they were preparing the cakes, she masuk dalam and saw it =.="

Mudder's idea for using the long candle coz apparently that's what Aunty Ruby did to Mudder last December :P

i know, i know. pic super blur. i m choosing to blame it on the strong winds :P

bday gift from Aunty Suzi to Aunty Ruby! damn nice!! :D yes, yes, Aunty Suzi is the talented & famous Rock Painting artist!! :D

After cake eating, laughing and lepaking by the beach, Fudder asked if we would like to go out for teh tarik. Ina wanted to buy souvenir :D the road leading outta Ruby's Resort is very very very very dark. And i think that sort of freaked out Fudder a bit coz he suddenly tell us not to mention anything if we see or smell or sense anything peculiar :P i am sort of used to the road so i was just smiling away :P After look see look see at Kampung Cherating, we headed over to Kemaman to look for a place to minum. Rounded the town twice and decided to minum at the warongs near the market.

Spotted: Dirt cheap satay! 3 for RM1!! :D We kiasuly ordered :D

So we sat down and ordered the drinks and the satay and we ended up laughing until really tears come out! After the waitress took our order, the waiter came back and asked in malay:

Waiter: Who ordered teh o ais limau or teh o peng limau* just now?
Me: me
Waiter: So, you want teh o ais limau or teh o peng limau?
Me:....erm... teh o ais limau (i was having ??? on my head already wtf??)
Waiter: ok. hot or cold?
Me:.............. erm... cold!!

*for the uninformed:

teh = tea in malay
o = black in chinese
ais = ice in malay
limau = lime in malay
peng = ice in chinese

After he left, the whole table burst into laughter!! like wtf??? isnt that the same???? ROFLMFAO!!! after laughing awhile, the satay came....

Now we know why so cheap. No cucumber or bawang :D Taste wise, a bit the off... We were creating stories on why it's so cheap... could be a month's old meat :P

Then the drinks came. Which we burst into another round of laughter. Miao ordered iced coffee. When she got her drinks, she went: Eh, salah order. They gave me tea! then she took out the bag and we informed her, that's coffee bag!! like wtf??? where got ppl serve iced coffee like this one? only in Kemaman wei! :D

ha, dont say they no no give u kao kao coffee ah... :P

We went back to Ruby's resort after laughing non stop. Back to the room, we freshen up and ended up chatting till 2something in the morning when we were suppose to wake up at 6am to watch sunrise! :D

Sunday, 13 March 2011

Watch sunrise my ass la! :P my alarm rang and i turn it off, then miao's alarm rang and she turn it off. Then at around 7am, Fudder came knocking on our door to wake us up coz he wanted to go jogging by the beach. i told miao and ina to go ahead. i wanna sleep somemore! :D so sleep i did. until i received a call from Fudder to wake me up and tell me that they are waiting for me to go for breakfast. So i faster wake up and wash up. Went outta the room only to see it empty. =.=" after stoning at the cafe for awhile whilst waiting for Miao and Ina to come back from oogling at mat sallehs in Club Med, we headed off to Hai Peng for their famous coffee and food (i still think Kluang's Hoover / Railway Station is better :D)

the standard picture to take every time we arrive Hai Peng :D

Nasi Dagang... not bad.

Mee Hoon goreng. I think the mee goreng is nicer :D

Had only 1 kopi o peng, 1 packet of nasi dagang, 1 packet of mee hoon goreng and 2 sweet potatoes curry puffs coz we were suppose to go for har meen after that... mana tau... i dont know the way to that har meen place =.=" feeling a tad disappointed, Fudder stopped at the roadside for me to buy my Keropok Lekor and Satar. The satar seller told me i need to wait very long as the customer before me ordered a lot and they are still bbq-ing T.T ordered my Keropok Lekor, went to the car to tell show them my muka 5sen coz i tak dapat my satar and Ina when down the car to work her charm.... wah... damn good! within 5mins i got my piping hot satar!!! :D damn amazed!! :D

On the way back to Ruby's Resort, we went over to the Turtle Sanctuary to look at Aunty Suzi's mural :D Very nice!! :D She is so talented la!! :D

Mural done by Aunty Suzi :D

We went back to Ruby's Resort to prepare pack up... need to check out alre :( before checking out, Mudder asked if i wanted to try Aminah's famous ABC. and of course i want la! :D It's really good! not too sweet! :D

Aminah's ABC with generous amount of goodies at the bottom!! :D

Left Ruby's Resort at around 12ish and we continue to yak all the way to Temerloh. exchanging momok stories :D damn funny and scary at the same time! :D

Had a quick lunch at Temerloh and then off we go. Reached KL around 4ish 5ish. Feeling fucking stoned :D

Went home to sleep nap for a short while before meeting minger for dinner :D after dinner at around 9ish, i went back to sleep all the way to 2ish to log in to FB for awhile and then continue to sleep back till 10ish in the morning :D

Monday, 15 March 2011

woke up 10ish... dont know what to do, got the old man to come over for a round of fun :P then we went out for lunch and froyo (yes! again! :D) then came back and chatted online for awhile and slept. woke up, called Minger, went out to run some errands with Minger and had dinner and then come back to stone more (i seriously think i slept too much :D) then decided to start off my 2nd knitting project! :D

Bought these yarn ages ago (2-3 yrs ago), ambitiously wanted to learn how to knit a cardigan for myself. But no la... too much effort la... got alot of knits to count one!! :D So I've decided to need more scarfs! I've got like 6 balls of yarns for this. The texture is very different from the previous one, hence, it's more challenging. Decided to use a bigger needle so that it can be completed faster :D i foresee this will take me 1 year to complete la... :D my sifu lamented that scarf shouldn't take so long (1 yr!) to complete and i told her, the previous scarf takes me 4 yrs! she almost fainted :P

i foresee with this amount of yarns, i can make 4 sets of scarfs :D 3-4 ppl is gonna get the same bday present! :P i've yet to decide to knit for myself or knit for others. but knowing my character, after seeing the same thing for waaaaay too long, i will get sick of the color and want to give away one la :D

I think this has got to be one of the longest and most pictures posts i've ever written la :D

so, i went back for CNY. as usual, it has been a dramatic one. met an accident on the way back to kluang, grandmother goes crazy, did a silly mistake and the elders treat it as if like i've done a horrible crime! Anyway, not all is bad la... i am kinda lazy to blog. here are some pics.

Camp bed - which everyone seems to be fighting to sleep on it. why ah?

my workstation for the 1st 2 days in kluang :D i promised the bosses that i will monitor the work from home. this is how i monitor ;)

as usual, popo cooked a hell of alot for just 4 of us =.="

Sooooooooo weird!! pseudo Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse came and wish everyone happy Chinese New Year!! the 'MC' were explaining the meanings in mandarin but i tuned her out :P

Went to Singapore on the 3rd of Chinese New Year to meet up long lost friends and i am really glad i've made this trip! :D

View of Singapore Flyer from the carpark

view from the flyer

Dinner in the Sky. my question is, will the waiter/waitress be in the flyer with the diners? if yes, not unromantic and awkward meh? if no, not mah fan to change your own course of meal and pour your own wine meh? wont the food be cold already?

Little handsome, cheeky, smart, cute Xavier :D he is so cute and smart! and he can really dance!! :D
