| Swimming pool at Holiday Inn with seaview |
Its been like 4 days since i blogged about anything. Not becaused i didnt want to, but our family went away to Malacca, Malaysia for 3 days and though i brought my mac to be prepared to blog and all, there wasnt free internet access and it was chargeable so, i thought it wasnt worth to pay for the internet, and on the other hand i would love to just spend my holiday away from every distraction. No phone, no wifi, no twitter, none. Just my family and me enjoying ourselves indulging in all the scrumptious food and shopping spree we could ever find in Malacca.
Day 1 of our trip was also the day 1 of the start of the renovation at home, and all the hacking of the old tiles will begin. And so we left our home, all packed and ready to leave our sweet home for one month. Head off to drop stuff at uncle's place (Where we are crashing for the one month), and zoom off to head for the 2 hour drive to Malacca. Our first stop was of course our hotel. Holiday Inn Malacca. Amazing room with sea view and great service. I was enthusiastically tipping every hotel staff whevever they did something nice. hahaha. Anyway so we settled down in our joint room, jie, Nasya and I in the room with the bathtub and the KING SIZE bed, and parents in the room with the queen size bed since now we have nasya haha. Yap, so we settled down, warmed up and washed up alittle before heading off to our first shopping stop, Dataran Palawan shopping mall. We went there because we were craving for A&W which SG dont have. But apparently it was so disappointing cause there was a lack of staff, the fries were soggy, they didnt have waffle (Which was the main reason why i craved for A&W), they forgot to serve some of our order, but nonetheless, we ate all of it. And the shopping begin. Though i wasnt very interested cause the fashion there wasnt really to my liking, but it was nice spending time with the family, even if it was just walking around. After walking all over the mall, we went to starbucks. Me being such a fan, i need starbucks whereever i go haha. But one reason was because i collect the starbucks tumbler from all the countires i travel to. And i wouldnt want to miss this opportunity to add one more tumbler to my collection. The manager was really nice he gave me a free grande drink, and it was a pleasant experience there. Soon it was time for dinner. We went to our all time favourite place, Bei Zhan. They serve really good chinese food, for example the steam cod fish, salad prawns and most of all they have blended veggie and pineapple juice that goes well for digestion. That scrumptious dinner ended our day and we retreated back to our hotel, watch some movies on the tv and slept.
Day 2 began with swimming at the pool which gave us amazing sea view. But i was so lazy and still in the sleepy mode, so i went to the pool side and laid on the seats to accompany dad, sis and Nasya while they swam. Being lazy, i was hungry at the same time. And guess what, mum ordered room service. But instead, they sent it to the poolside. Amazing service. I was like totally awake when the food arrived. SO we had a club sandwich, aspargus soup and chieken and beef sandwich with curly fries and salad. All of which came in servings that could feed like 5 of us. haha. Amazing breakfast and it was the first time it really felt like we were on a holiday. Never did that before. Loved it. After enjoying the amazing breakfast, we head back to the room and got ready to head out for another shopping spree. This time we went to Mahkota parade, the other mall. Being rather unreceptive about the shopping i didnt expect to find anything i would like to buy. But to my surprise, there was a sale at Parkson ( a departmental store just like Isetan in SG) and the sale was for Ripcurl items. I managed to get my hand on 2 dresses, and got Alv something too (: Happy much haha. Oh and we went to Payless (the shoe shop from Aus or US i cant remember) anyway, how come the shoes in Payless singapore dont look as good as the ones in Malacca? haha I bought 3 pairs of shoes!!! hahah and they were soooooo cheap. One was at 7 SGD, another 11 and the other 20 i think. All were so comfortable and that hyped me up alittle. hahah the shopaholic in me was unleashing. Sparing you all the tiny tiny details, although i did shop but it wasnt that alot. but i was really loving all my buys. Dinner was Seoul Garden since its much cheaper than Singapore's and we just kept eating all the types of chicken they had haha. But yap it wasnt really that fantastic. And we went to giant to do some stocking up of groceries and definitely on the cup noodles for our supper. Went back to the hotel to relax and watch movies once again, and munch on all the junk food we bought.
Day 3 started off with a relaxing full body massage that the whole family indulged in. Sis did the facial, and i did the full body massage. it was my second doing that and i guess i somehow got used to the stripping totally naked and being open about it to the lady doing the massage. But the small hut that individuals are entitled to for every treatment is so beautiful. It felt like i was in Bali or something. haha. Though it was awkward once inawhile, it was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. But the most embarrassing thing was, after the 60 min massage, i couldnt understand what the lady said. To me it sounded like "Miss you can now take a one hour shower" BUT TURNED OUT, IT WAS ACTUALLY, " Miss dont shower for one hour". When mum told me that i was totally embarrassed and couldnt imagine how silly i was and what the lady must have been thinking when i started bathing in front of her behind the shower screen. hahaha. Even now thinking about it im still laughing at myself. Van so silly. haha. Yap so the morning was an amazing one. Then comes all the packing and all. Although the holiday was coming to an end, i wasnt feeling sad cause our final stop was the Johor Premiun Outlet which is what i was looking forward to. Shopping and more shopping! We had a 30 min drive before taking a short R&R at one of the pit stops and there was Buskin Robbins. It was so cheap i couldnt resist not buying. And after resting we continued in our journey. Dad went up to 150km/hr. SUCH SPEED haha, And WE REACHED THE SHOPPING HEAVEN. Though the first few shops we went werent really up to expectations, i guess it because it was all the high end shops that wasnt suitable for us. But the first shop i was excited for, was Adidas. Walked in and found so so many apparels that i was attracted to. But of course Adidas being Adidas, its so expensive. But i had my eye on a few items. A running tights, a tank top and a wind breaker. After contemplating for awhile, i chose the wind breaker. After all the discounts, it was only 36 SGD. So cheap! hahaha. Yap and we continued walking on, there wasnt anything much that i wanted to buy until we reached my next destination which i have been aiming for. FOSSIL. Was planning to change my current Fossil wallet even though its still in a good condition (Spoilt me). But, didnt manage to find something to my liking. But i found something Alv would like and something for a beloved friend (Gabby) for Christmas. Something small. And the shopping ended with me getting a Shu Umera lipstick (Cause Alv left my previous one in his coat that he had returned to OCS >_<) And that wrapped up our trip to Malaysia. The drive back to the customs was a exciting one because the road in malaysia werent all lighted up with street lamps like SG's. SO it was just pitch dark and our beaming headlights. But thank God, we made it home safely. I meant uncle's home.
So i agree this is a absolutely long post but its all i went through for the past 3 days in Malacca. Somehow 3 posts all in one.
