♥~Fluffy's Birthday & Vacation to Cameron Highland~♥


Hello...I'm back...If i don't come update sooner, am gonna end up with picture post again, given that i've forgotten all the details...But let's start with some of my recent life updates & let me convey some messages that i'm too embarrassed to say out loud...

First, i've reached the busiest period of my uni life with all the tests, final year project thesis, presentation, reports and assignments...

Wanna say thanks to my uni buddies Hippo YiJun & Banana PuiMun...Thanks for always reminding me about homeworks' due date & everything (I'm a super forgetful person you see... :$) & thanks for your presences & how you've taken good care of me...Even thought i'm the eldest, it seems like i'm the one who need to be looked after the most...

Of course, thank you to my another uni buddy Pinky Bing Shiun (in case you wonder, its a he... ), the smartest student in our Chemistry course...Thanks for teaching me whatever subjects or questions that i failed to make sense of...Thanks for lending me your help whenever i need it...Couldn't get a lot stuff done without him...So there, done with my gratitude & appreciation for now...Dedicate a post to you all when graduation come, ok ? :')

So...Let's get back to the topic...Its the end of August & i'm writing Fluffy's birthday post back in 3rd of June,haha...

To be honest, really couldn't remember every single event that day vividly...But i'm proud to be the first person that wished him happy birthday, this i still can recall,haha...

He went over to his friend's place to have some boys talk at the night of  June 2rd...Fell asleep waiting him at home & when he came back & woke me up, its already past 12 so i jumped up from bed, gave him a huge huge bear hug with lots of warmth and love(haha..too many descriptions for a hug..) & wish him happy birthday!!! With his nod to my question of "Am i the first?", there!!! That's it... :)

For this year, i didn't buy him any present..Oh wait, i actually did but the parcel delayed until now i still haven't give it to him,haha...Its ok, it'll be his coming Christmas gift...So..i just bought him a dinner...We had a fine dine at this place called Cantaloupe Sky Dinning@Troika: a classy 23th floor restaurant where you can enjoy the beautiful KL night view...



These were some of the dishes, i think its a 5 courses per person...From the left top corner horizontally: Ox tongue, lobster bisque, beef cheek lasagna, some kind of fish, salmon, oyster with tongue of a kind of animal which i've forgotten... 


KL tower & KLCC the icons of Kuala Lumpur...



Had a great talk with the couple came from London who's sitting next to us, & guess what, we even witnessed their marriage proposal!!! It went like this...First, we saw the guy knelt to the ground whispering promises to the woman.. Then i was like :" Oh my god, is the next table proposing? Oh my god is it is it?"... Right then we saw them kissing each other deeply then the woman smiled so happily appreciating the huge ring on her finger...Wanted to say congratulation but we were both too shy to interrupt... :$

It was when approaching the end of the night that the woman turned her head & wished Fluffy happy birthday...Were then giving them our blessing & had a small talk to know that they came from London & they were about to head North to Langkawi on the next day...The night felt warmth and loved...Wish i can spend all your coming birthday with you... :)

16th of July, Thursday

It was the day before Hari Raya & Fluffy granted my wish by bringing me to Cameron Highland for a little getaway...We've been travelling to different places before but were with either friends or families..This was the first trip that included just the two of us, was so excited the elation of having our very own small vacation lasted a whole week...

Departed at 6.30am due to the concern of traffic jam, yet it ended up that the road to Cameron was clear we arrived at 8 something which all the parks & restaurants were still at their closing hours...I was too tired i fell asleep in the car while Fluffy had to withstand the sleepiness & drove around to find us place for breakfast...

The moment i got down from the car only did i realize that the weather was so cold it made me even more excited... Love the chilly weather so so so much!!!

Visited lavender farm, rose valley,honey bee farm, Church of our lady of mount carmel & Barrack cafe for the first day...








Even though i'm no Christian, i've always wanted to visit a church as i never entered 1 before, this was the first... I like how it gives me a serene and calm sensation...






Our boutique hotel room was very neat and trendy i like everything about it i was like :"I want my future bedroom to look like this & i want my bed to be placed like this it makes me feel so warm!!!"

Before dinner, we went to this Cameron Square for a walk & we found out there's no cinema or shopping complex in Cameron Highland..like at all...Correct me if i thought wrong... Another thing was that all the parks closed after 6pm & the streets looked so empty and dessert at night... People there do really lead a healthy lifestyle... :o

Bytheway, having steamboat on cold night was absolutely a worthy experience, am so gonna do it again!!!

Visited the night market before we called the night...

As for the 2nd day, we paid strawberry park, time tunnel museum and tea plantation a short visit before headed home...




Again..I slept dead in the car on the way back...Always feel guilty about sleeping in the car when i should watch the road with fluffy or make conversation with him...

He came for a whole week time & the moment of separation killed me...When I'm around him, I'm always filled with an overpowering happiness that make the rest of the world fade away to nothing more than background noise...Felt a volcanic surge of depression but still had to fight back all the tears on the way to class...

"Don't feel wretched bidding farewell, instead, look forward to the anticipation of reunion...", says fluffy...

Hold on to that...And i'll see you in a week... :)

♥~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...
