Melaka Trip ~ Hotel Puri, Jonker Street, etc...

Finally, got some time to sit down in front of my pc writing blog. Life has been busy since last weekend and I until now only got some time to write my Melaka trip stories...

Finished cooking and eating dinner with hubby. Hmmm, where shall I start ler??

Ok, after both parents met up in Pontian, after we visited Pe-pe and Ah Mmm, we proceed to drive to Melaka around 6pm. We reached Melaka about 8pm, drove into the town and reached our hotel almost 9pm. As usual, Melaka is a busy night on Saturday. I booked Hotel Puri, got to know this hotel through online search and this is indeed a very good hotel! Strategic location (which is next street to Jonker Street), comfortable room, clean toilet and the staffs there are very friendly ~ Thumbs up for this hotel!!

After rest for a while in hotel room, we started our Jonker Street discovery. Walk for a while before eating dinner. We had our dinner at Jonker Dessert 88. As usual, business is super good here... Finally we found a table and sat down. We ordered nasi lemak, nyonya laksa, mee soup, chicken wing, and of course, not to forget the Cendol and Ice Kacang... Wow, it is as delicious as ever!!! Hubby's parents and grandma really enjoyed the food. After the delicious dinner, we continue our Jonker Street walk... Saw a lot of nice things there.

The next day, after a nice breakfast at hotel, I brought them to the Red Stadhuys, and hubby's dad wanna take the Melaka River Cruise. So we walked to buy the boat tickets for 12pm. Then we walk around the city to the Cheng Ho Museum and see some temples while waiting for the time to take the boat ride. Well, the boat ride is indeed a very good experience. I learnt some Melaka history and saw some historical buildings.
After the Melaka River Cruise, we proceed for our lunch. We went to eat chicken rice balls. The chicken not really nice la, but the chicken rice balls are special. We took our car from the hotel after lunch and drove to Perigi Hang Li Poh... drank the water there as told by hubby's grandma. Hehehe.. Our last stop was Tan Kim Hock Product Centre, bought some delicacies there and tried their cendol also.

We drove back to KL about 4pm. It was raining quite heavily, so hubby didn't drive too fast. Rain stopped around Seremban area and we reached our house about 6 something. Really miss the food in Melaka, and definitely, I will go there again!

A busy weekend ~ Genting + Pontian, Johor

Last weekend, I busy until don really have time to rest... Friday, after parents-in-law reached Genting, they called me, said that they have two complimentary tickets to watch the circus 'Dreamz', asked us are we intersted or not. Wow, this is the circus that hubby and I would wanna watch long time ago, but the tickets are a bit pricey, so we never get to watch.. After got that call from my mum-in-law, I faster called up hubby and told him about this circus tickets. Without thinking twice, hubby told me over the phone, "Yes, let's go!"... So, after work, we rushed to Genting so that can make it for the show time at 9pm. Stayed one night at Genting after that...

28th June 2008 ~ This date is an important date for both of us... Both our families met up in Johor. Hubby's parents and grandma visited my parents in my hometown, Pontian, Johor.. So early in the morning, we woke up as early as 6 something, getting ready to go down KL from Genting at 7 something, dropped hubby's car at our PJ house, breakfast and then drove to Johor around 10am...

We reached Pontian about 1 something, chit-chatted at my house for a while before we proceed to have our lunch at around 2pm at Shangrilla Restaurant in Pontian Kecil. Had our very delicious lunch and warm gathering at the restaurant...

Keanlee's auntie's family from Singapore joined us later in the restaurant. After that, we headed back home. Hehehe.. then they visited our house, had a looked at my wooden, by the sea house...
Hubby's mum and grandma discussed the things that need to prepare for our wedding with my parents. They had a nice discussion over it as both mothers also very open and simple. So they have decided to make the ceremony not so complicated. Haha... good for me n hubby also. Both families listed down the things need to buy and prepare.. Me also donno what are all those things, all I remember is two bottles of honey, the rest, I forgot already.. Hehehe..

Really a very fruitful trip, I can see both parents also very happy face... Keep on smiling and laughing throught the whole discussion. :) I feel so lucky to have them. Thank you to my parents and also my parents-in-law!

Nyonya Colors - One Utama

Today after fetching hubby from work, he suggested us to go to 'The Curve' for dinner. At first tot wanna go Sakae Sushi but traffic a bit jam, so we change our venue to One Utama. Initially wanna go to eat Japanese food, but on our way walking there, we passed by one nyonya food stall, saw a lot of people queuing up, so we also follow to eat there, want to give it a try. Hehehe...

Hubby ordered one dry curry mee and I ordered nasi lemak + chicken rendang... Very nice.. the nasi lemak also quite special, greenish in colour, seems like a bit pandan favour. We also ordered a few nyonya kuehs.. very delicious lor!!

A happy dinner with hubby... now watching drama at home with him. Tomorrow is Friday.. Hurray, weekend is arriving soon, and we are going to Pontian and Melaka...

My days after Sabah... Busy + busy

Life has been quite busy after I am back from Sabah... No time to write blog, no time to update my Sabah's stories here... Well, my Sabah photos are viewable in my Facebook, maybe for those who wanna view them, can go to my Facebook and have a look. Not a lot of photos, but at least I updated some for viewing. Hehehe...

Went to Genting with my hubby + my parents-in-law last weekend. Nothing much to do there except for visiting casino with hubby. We spent most of our time playing the Jackpot together. Hehehe, we had a nice dinner there as well and parents-in-law went to watch concert in Genting.
I am very looking forward for this weekend to come. Hubby and I are going to Johor with my parents-in-law. They wanna visit my parents. After that, we will stay one night at Melaka for a short trip before driving back to KL. Food in Melaka, here I come!! Hahaha..

East Malaysia Education Fair (2nd Day)

I will update later when I am back from dinner... Too tired now after the education fair... Need some rest...

------------------------------------

We had our breakfast at a local kopitiam and I has the local fried mee, 'tuaran mee'... delicious mee.. Aftre that we proceed to go to the education fair and start working again. Fair was ok, crowd was quite a lot in the morning... but then slow down a bit after around 3pm. However, the fair was still manageable. We packed everything around 5pm. And finally, the fair is over, and I can at least rest my brain a bit... Thanks to everyone who assisted in making this fair a success!!

At night after the fair, we had seafood porridge as dinner. Taste not bad.. hhehehe. Then proceed to the Sutera Harbour for sign-seeing... We had a memorable night at Sutera Harbour as all of us spent most of our time helping our beloved colleague to pick up her handphone's sim card and battery from the big longkang, which she accidentally dropped it while helping us to take photos... Hehehe... what a night!!
