Lalalala

I have a lot to tell, but since it's too much, I'm kind of lazy to tell XP
Almost a semester I didn't update my blog.
Well, I rarely get much time for blogging.
I have exams, assignment and presentations consecutively for 9 weeks.
So whenever I have free time, it would be watching anime or slack. Hehehehe
And I found out that I haven't share about my pulau ketam trip.
I will share it, don't worry, it's just the matter of when ;-)
Recently, it's great that I'm much more free in mind.

Have a nice day :)

Broga Trip (Throwback)

The morning before Christmas, I invited XC, Nicholas, and MC to join the Gang for Broga climbing.
I prepared the breakfast which was breads for everyone.

We started our journey at 4am and arrived Broga at 5am.
We ate the breads and then slowly walk up the steep.
We had to separate into groups as me and CL could not make it all the way without rest.
I was totally wasted, I feel so bad throughout the climb.
XC and his gang kept stopped to accompany me on rest.
Slowly, we reached the first peak.
CL, Kelv, and I picked a spot to rest, whereas the others climbed up to the last peak and stayed on the second peak until sunrise.

While waiting for sunrise, I saw all of the Muslims were praying on the peak.
We thought we would not be able to see the sunrise because when the sky was lighting up, the sun was hiding behind the clouds.

I fell asleep while waiting for Xing and the Gang.

I woke up to an uproar and realized the sun has rose to between 2 clouds to be visible to us.
Everyone was rushing for photos, our WhatsApp group chat has been spammed with lots of photo, either the sunrise or group photo.

We had a quick rest and small talks on the first peak then we went down the hill.
Next destination was to my house in Sg Long.
Everyone had a shower and rest until lunch time.
We went to the newly opened IKEA at Cheras.
It was so crowded and we took around an hour to get to parking slot.
The cafeteria was also very crowded.
The food was not very delicious.
We went home early due to the fatigue.
Much to our surprise, the parking area was nearly empty after the lunch hour.
XC and I suspected that everyone has come to IKEA just for the cafeteria food for lunch -.-

The half day trip was short but it was a time well-spent.
Too bad we could not have more time personally to spend together due to fatigue, and everyone just want to rest.

Tanjung Sepat Trip Day 2 (Throwback)

The second day of the trip, I woke up early in the morning.
Zi Yann said to eat Bak Kut Teh and we agreed to go eat at 9am
Ended up he was called up by his father, and he was the last to wake up XD
While waiting for everyone to have done their preparation, his mom has made glutinous riceball for us since it was Winter Solstice on the day.

When we arrived the Bak Kut Teh restaurant, we were told that there were no more pork
We all ate fish in Bak Kut Teh soup and fishballs soup.
The fishball soup was very delicious.
We literally did not waste a single drop of the soup.
The aunty there told us that the pork has all been take-away by housewives for Winter Solstice praying ceremony, and she was closing the restaurant early too.

After the breakfast, we went back to Zi Yann's house at around 11am.
We take some rest and chit chat while a few of us went and help his mom to arrange the table.
We have around lunch around 12pm at Zi Yann's house with his family.
The food was of course delicious. Typical homemade food with the taste of home.
We took a group photo and loaded our luggage into the car.
After that, we bid farewell and all headed back to our destination home.

Tanjung Sepat Trip Day 1 (Throwback)

So it was just after the last exam paper finished. My friends and I gathered at 1pm and departed to Zi Yann's house at Tanjung Sepat.

We were arriving Tanjung Sepat after 3pm. It was a relaxing trip, so we decide most things on random. Therefore, we suddenly dropped by Sepang Gold Coast beach.
It has a nice breeze there, the sand is white too. But it was awful, full of garbage and the sea water is in brownish color with a lot of bubbles. From what I heard, sea water with bubbles means badly polluted. We spent most of the time by the beach, playing kites B-) B-)
It was the only happy moment on the dirty beach. Though, I was cut by the kite's string while chasing the falling kite.

The big wind

We then continue our journey to Zi Yann's house. It was around 4pm. We just slacked around at his house. His mom warmed some fried fishballs for us. The fishballs were made by his uncle apparently. Small town life is indeed joyful with things all made by people we know :)
I took the opportunity to wash my injuries. We spent time joke around and plan for our trip. When the strong evening heat has subsided, we went to the town's beach, hidden deep in the palm tree orchards where you only know how to go by the town's people's guide.

This beach, is so much more beautiful than the one before, although the wind was not big enough for kites, the environment is very clean. And with the mangrove forest nearby, unharmed by tourists or government so-called improving tourism attraction program, it is a perfect spot for photos :-)

The mangrove forest

The white sand

We stayed until sunset, which was also our objective of going to a beach. Much to my surprise, the beach is so protected by the people and so much unharmed that when the sun is setting, we can heard a lot of seabirds flying and chirping back to their habitat, the mangrove forest. If I must say one bad thing about it, it was the mosquitoes. They said they are sea mosquitoes, with their bites will only be itching after a day.
ps. we met the China CCTV crews shooting film about the beach
pss. we were fighting who to travel to the beach on Zi Yann's motorcycle, and KM won the round

After the beach, we went for dinner beside the famous Lovers' Bridge (情人桥). We were not very lucky as the bridge fell apart month before and is currently undergoing repair and upgrade. We had a superb enjoyable dinner, with all the seafood XD

Poor fishballs soup could not make it to the photo shooting session

Salted egg fried with crabs

Lala steamed with soup

Fried squid

Fish with sauce

After dinner, we went to explore the photo shooting spots just beside the restaurant. It has a bunch of antiques that are similar to Penang's mural. We stayed around until the shop managing the area was closing.
ps. I don't know about the price because Zi Yann's father insisted on paying and not letting us know the price
pss. I won the round to ride the bike to the restaurant

We went back to the house after dinner and had our baths. It's been a long time since I last bathe in cold water and feeling so refreshed. When everyone has done bathing, we gathered and had a gift exchange session, and then there's card games and off to sleep.
