♥~HatYai & KohLipe 4 days 3 nights Trip~♥


Ok...Promised will blog about my Thailand trip & finally here i am... Even though its way too late, better later than never, right? :$

Truth to be told, i can't remember every details vividly like i used to anymore...Consequence of not updating soon enough... :(

So...This will be more like a picture post instead of my usual way of long-winded descriptive type of entry,haha...

Here we go...DAY 1


Candid shot by one of our friends, i don't know who it was but am super grateful that he/she captured this moment of us... Its one of my favorite gesture from him...So this is taken at Nando where we were waiting for everyone's arrival in KLIA 2... <3





In waiting zone...



Yeah...Time to board on the plane!!!!! Its fluffy's graduation trip so they are mostly his coursemates... Spot me.. :D

Had to admit i did have a little phobia the moment the plane took off due to all the tragedies happened in these 2 years... Thanks god that we made it there safe... :)


The hotel we stayed called... HatYai Palace Hotel if i didn't recall wrongly... Went out for some food hunting after done unloading our luggage... This is the first thing that we ate in HatYai, its some parts of fish i don't know what's it called in English, in Chinese its 鱼漂... It tasted really delicious & rich... Of course with that abundant ingredients, it costed us 100 baht per bowl, around RM10...


Mango sticky rice for next... Nom Nom Nom...My thumbs up explained everything,haha...



WaiKit took this picture of us & he was like :" DongLee you look so short.." Haha...


As you can see, we were at Lee Garden... :)

Headed back to hotel after this, gotta save some energy for the night... :D






Dinner for the night..There's more but these 3 were the best... Don't underestimate this fried egg with vege, it looked plain but tasted awesome...We rented a tuk-tuk (a very famous kind of taxi in Thailand) & the driver was so nice he recommended us this restaurant to dine... I have no idea what's the name of the restaurant but it was really classy.. The building is like a mansion with a beautiful garden, patio, ponds etc...

They served authentic thai food & famous with their blue rice which is served in claypot...Was really impressed with their food... We all agreed it was the best meal we've ever had in this trip... The most important point is that its not expensive at all... Excellent food plus ideal environment with reasonable price...If you ever had the chance to visit HatYai, do not miss out this restaurant, its a must try, guarantee... :)


Ok..getting tired, just pictures & less words...

♥~Joys in Semester Break Part 1~♥


Hello...Even though i struggle with the opening of my diary everytime, i just couldn't quit... You have no idea how many times i have pressed the backspace key, then re-typed, followed with another backspace, and re-typed again... The insistence is basically based on the fact that i can't allow any of these great memories to fade, to be forgotten, not even a single fragment of it...

I want to look back my blog & reminisce my past life which this very space of mine will be sparkling old memories which I'd buried...There, done with the opening, wasn't that hard, was it? :$

Another sem break has started and is going to end soon,haha... We have a tradition of girls gathering at the end of a semester... This time was the best one as we no longer just had some temporary farewell lunch or dinner in Kampar NewTown, instead we went to Ipoh for a day out, great progression right? haha... It was at 8/5/15, Friday


Went for Puripuka for 3 times,haha..Spent almost all our time there in the photobooth,haha...




Then we went for this milk-themed cafe which its name i have forgotten,haha...

 They served really good milk but the food was poor and pricey... 


My chocolate milk tasted superior, it was so dense and rich!!! Hippuh's almond milk & Neneh's green tea milk were fine too... Here comes the end of our girls day out... We'll see each other 5 days per week very very soon,haha...

Had a family trip to Malacca on 9/5/15, Saturday

It was my 3rd time visiting Malacca in these 2 years.. The first 2 times were with Fluffy as i couldn't stop bragging about the food there, he had no choice but to satisfy my craving,haha...

Didn't take much photos & the places we visited were basically the same which you can view back to my previous Malacca post,haha... Tried a new food in this trip though : Durian puff...

Mommy bought it & asked us to just stuff the whole puff into our mouths as the durian filling's gonna flow out like the lava does... As i watched how both of my brothers & my mom popped the entire puff into their mouths in a bite, tension built up as i knew my mouth's too small to be able to do so... When i failed, they all took out their phones trying to capture that embarrassing moment of mine, my family... :') And not gonna upload those pictures,haha...

Mommy bought half a dozen & i ate 3 out of 6 because there's 2 puffs get "contaminated" by the filling from the 1st one i ate, haha...

By the way, the durian puff's so delicious!!! Not too sweet yet made of the real deal... Its so smooth and creamy its heavenly!!! Awww...miss it already.... Nom Nom...

We've been to Jonker Street, had seafood dinner at Portuguese Village & my personal favorite which is Nadeje cake shop... Didn't get the chance to sightseeing the city as its raining the other day... Then we just headed home like that... Have to give a big thanks to mommy as its a 4-5 hours drive each to and fro journey... She is always the one who sacrifices the most yet get least in return... Even though i never say this to you, i love you the most mom...

11/5/15, Monday



Date of reunion with Fluffy...Took the morning train to KL as i had a photoshoot meeting at night, get to see fluffy was one of the perks...

By right i should be getting used to this kind of routine already, separated for a period of time, then either i go to KL or he comes to Kampar for each other, my heart still fluttered the moment when i was expecting Fluffy to pick me up at KL Sentral... Its funny how you still feel nervous knowing you'll be seeing him soon although you've been together for years... Its like the edginess back to our very first date when i was expecting him to show up at the bus stop (he was running late as usual...never changed a bit... -_-)

He went to the studio with me & stayed there for 6-7 hours... He once suggested that he went home first & came back to pick me when i was done... I was like :" No no no...its my turn already, will be finished real soon..." He saw the panic in my eyes, cancelled the first thought & assured me his companion... 


Like my hair-do so much!!! They all said i look better without make-up on... Its so contradicting because should i feel happy or sad... Happy because you don't need make-up to look good, sad because make-up is supposed to make you look prettier but then now you don't suit make-up means your current naked look is the prettiest you can be that you don't have the chance to transform into a more beautiful form,haha...You get what i mean?

I wasn't myself back then... I'm passive & do not open up with people easily, i take time to bond with people... There were 3 models in total & i was the most quiet one... Most of all, i doubt myself in almost everything... This low or morbid amount of self-confidence is a big no in modeling & its the issue that i'm trying to get better with... Do not want to dwell on the details...Topic skipped, haha...

The thing that i wanna emphasize is that i saw & sensed Fluffy's concern on me... How he never complaint the boredom & kept me company through the hour... How he was trying to crack some jokes to make me feel less nervous (even though the effect was opposite), how he kept spamming me questions out of worries seeing my thoughtful expression after i had that meeting with the crew & walked out from the conference room... 

Visited the Clawset Cafe too, because i'm so so so so a dog person, haha...



Look at the little fur kid!!!! How on earth can it be possible for a creature to be so so so adorable!!!!!!!!!! Was all teared up when we left, i wanna hold them just a little while longer...  :'(

Ok...Do not wanna get too long-winded... The Thailand trip will be continued in the next entry...Tada... :)
