1st "overseas" trip with Qianwen! :)

As promised, here's a brief post on my first Batam trip with Qianwen! :) 

We got this package from the Deals.com (again!) and it's quite convenient caused I can make our hotel reservation & ferry booking via online. Save me a lot of time, just need to reply email here and there! :)

Booked our room at Harris @ Batam Center, which is just 5 minutes walk from the Ferry Terminal. So it's quite safe for us girls to navigate to and fro the terminal. Opposite our hotel is the Mega mall, so we can go shop anytime we like! *HOHO!* 

It's a real getaway because not much we can do there. And it's not like both of us can just grab a cab and move around. Anyway, the surprise we had on this trip was met my colleague in the supermarket! *LOL!* 

We got invited by them out for dinner with their whole gang and after that went in search for a nightclub. HAHAHA! Seriously, this is the first time I went overseas to a nightclub. Nothing fancy just a place with live band and beer. 

HAHAHAHA! Lots of laughter in the van, and best of all, we made some new friends that night! :)

:) Now I can't wait for July trip with Qianwen again! It's going to be purely a SHOPPING SPREE! LOL!

Memorable Weekend

Super packed weekend! Or should I say my weekend started since Thursday? :)

Thursday: Checked in chalet - Work - RWS party - back to chalet - Sleep

Friday: Wake up (almost late for work!) - Work - FULL OF ISSUES! - Chalet (to collect the BBQ food & grabbed some 15 minutes of power nap! *SHIOK!*

Started the evening BBQ when colleagues started to arrive. Lucky we prepared earlier if not 大家 is going to get super hungry! And surprisingly I don't feel hungry at all (must be all the smoke). I didn't ate anything at all. HAHAHA! Wii-ed with the kids and after that mahjong-ed till wee hours. I'm not the one playing, I'm the scorer. Sleeping, watching MI:4 and getting 吵醒 every time the guys finished 1 round. -_-""

Slept at 4am. Woke up at 4 hours later from the insistent loud knocking on the door! *AHHHHHH!*

Just don't understand why the guys can wake up and watch TV when they only slept for 4 hours only?! Anyway, went back to sleep and lucky Mr Lin called and gave me a morning call so that I can prepare for check out! :)

Checked out at 10am and rushed down to Harbor-front to catch our ferry to Batam! First trip overseas (literally) with BFF! ^_^!!! Lucky Mr Lin fetched me down cause I was running late.

Batam trip started and it was a enjoyable 2D1N with BFF & some new friends! Funny bunch of friends and I'm really envious of them! :) 

Shall post more on the trip in the next post! :)

A baby's weight on the arms feel so good! :)

:) Haven't carry a baby for quite some time (I think maybe years) and finally I get to carry Zurie for the first time! ^_^_^_^_^!!!

Early in the morning went down to collect the cupcakes specially made for her. The thing about baby girls is that you tend to have the feeling to make her feel like a princess. HAHAHA!

 :) Princess theme cupcakes from Sweetest Moments! Recommended by CM, and indeed the cupcakes is delicious! 

:) Some snap shots from the party! HAHAHA! 

Zurie is smiling! :) HAHAHA! It's not easy to capture a shot with the smile on the baby face. It's usually a few shot before you can capture the one that you want. :)

Though the hands get tired after a while, I don't feel like putting her back to baby cot. HAHAHA! It feels really good to have this tiny weight on my arms. And the unique baby scent just kept surrounding you. :)

祝你快点长大, 开开心心!

What an adventure! ^_^!!!

Just came back from Malacca! Indeed, this is the first trip that I encountered so many adventures! Some good, some bad, some scary! *LOL!*

:) A walk into the Christ Church, Melaka

1st adventure: Drove straight into the Police Station

We rented a car (Proton Persona) so that we can navigate easier around and also to find some good places for food besides of the City. Unfortunately, it was a last minute decision, thus only left with Protons. Once we gotten our car, we decided to go back to the Hotel first to sleep a bit more before making our way down to A'Famosa (Water World) since it's quite a long journey. I set my Goggle Map on iPhone and set off but it seems like the road from Google Map is short-cut and in actual fact we aren't allow to pass through. Thus, we ended driving into the Police station! >.<""

2nd adventure: Reversed cars are DANGEROUS!

I had my first car accident! O.O!!! Yeah, my clean record is now NOT CLEAN! :'( I almost scared the car park attendant to death. But then her expression made me laugh till the stomach dropped! O.O!!! Anyway, lucky Mr Lin is alright, and no one is injured, but the poor car has some scratches on top of it.

>.<"" Quite a bad scratch and till now still feeling guilty for causing it!

3rd adventure: Washing the car under the scorching hot sun!

We found quite a big patches of yellow paint on the injured car, thus we decided to do our own cleaning. Using the Dettol wipes (that's the only wet tissues on hand), we slowly removed all the paint from the car. By the time we're done, we're almost half dead. Poor Mr Lin, he had to accompany me all the way due to my careless mistakes!

4th adventure: Illegally driving into private estate

I kept asking Mr Lin to drive me to find the Beef Bah Ku Teh that was highly recommended online by many. So during the 2nd night, he drove me right to the exact point shown on the GPS. However, surrounding us was just rows and rows of private houses. From the blogs, we knew that the shop is surrounded with bamboos. So when we saw that the house is also surrounded with bamboos, we thought that the shop is inside. So we drove in through the gate slowly and while Mr Lin is parking the car, I got a surprise! 

There were a few Muslims guys praying in the house. That's when I knew that this is not the correct place. Lucky, Mr Lin already switch off the headlights before driving in. If not, I think we'll be arrested! 

After making rounds and rounds and on the verge of going back to City, we finally found the Bah ku teh!

The soup is thick and very 够味! Something different from the usual Bah ku teh! Both of us finished the whole pot! *YUMS!*

Weather at Malacca is dreadful! Super duper hot and humid! Once I gotten my room I don't even feel like leaving the hotel to walk under the big hot sun! Anyway, it's purely a eat-walk-sleep-eat trip. HAHAHA! We just kept on eating and non-stop eating. O.O!!!!

And the thing about this Persona is that the signal is on the left, which is opposite of what I'm used to (right signal). So every time we wanted to signal, the wiper turns on and it irritates us so much!

No more holidays till November! O.M.G!!! How to tahan till then? >.<"
