Unplanned is my thing...

I like doing something random. Well, not really 'random' because obviously I've talked about going somewhere to my friends before, it just I don't have the courage going alone. Simply say, I don't like to plan ahead whenever I'm going to a "journey"....

Because I can't get a ticket to langkawi, I go to Bukit Tinggi instead. The reason why I can't get a ticket simply because I don't like buying ticket in advance. Even with plane tickets, I'll wait until I completely sure of the date (even though I know if I stall any longer the price will be more expensive than previous one).


Well, first Bukit Tinggi that you saw in the picture is totally different from the 'real world'. I was like, "that's it!!!" Unfortunately yes, that's it, nothing more. Once you reach the top (if u sabahan, the way up is easy compare to Kundasang), at the Colmar Tropicale it exactly 15 mins walks from the car park to the Colmars' and back with pictures taken. My advice, unless u going to slept at the hotel, just look at the pictures...at least its prettier. And one thing, it doesn't even cold up there. I see fog though....that's it! Genting maybe much more interesting.


Japanese garden is a tiring one! I drove myself there without taking the shuttle bus because I felt it so unnecessary as I know where exactly it located. Oh boy, big mistake! Shuttle bus can drive all the way up the entrance, while the public car park is located around 5 mins walk up! I mean 'walk up' like 5-storied high....well maybe 4...3... it a hard climb you know! I don't even felt japanese up there! I saw pond with 'koi' fishes, green tea and ppls with rented kimonos and japanese style huts/buildings. But again, that's it! Oh well, they have a super expensive (for me it expensive) Japanese restaurant. I like the jungle walk though.... it therapeutic for me...

Now, who's wanna go to Langkawi with me?

Melaka...

I always want to go to Melaka. It the historical city of Malaysia, well known to the world! And yet, I've never been there.... I've been planning to go there early this year but with no car and "partner" (I know...its ridiculously stupid reasons), I put it on hold. I don't know where I got the courage, but last Friday I drove my blue viva through the highway and...Melaka here "I" go! Yes baby, alone...
After paying RM24.80 at the highway toll, I just follow the sign to Bandar Melaka or Melaka City until I saw a familiar site that i used to see on TV and history books. I don't have a plan, or a map on where to go, I just follow the sign. From what I've seen on the Internet, the tourist spot should be around each other. So I park my car at the above pic, near the police station ( the blue rooptop is a police station, a very "safe" way to leave your car for a day!). I don't know if you can see it, my car is the blue one under a tree...well anyway it RM 2 for the whole day...quite cheap.


As I mentioned before, you can just go from one spot to another without taking a bus or car, just walk... if you can stand the heat, otherwise ride a beca for RM40/hr. I rode the beca for an hour and found that it so not worth it as every place is within walking distance, it just because I don't know where to start that I'm taking the beca...


Here is some of the view I snap from Taming Sari Tower. You can see the whole Melaka City from here. I also realize that there are still a lot of places that I didn't go yet!


This is something that I encouter at the Christ Church. At first I have no idea who the hell they are and what the hell they are doing. But during the 3rd dance, they are wearing somewhat like Korean tradisional dress and dance to Korean Christian song, so I figure they were Korean Church group or something....nice step though....

Weekend Roundup

Right now I'm sitting in Starbucks like a rich student or super busy personal try to act 'COOL' with a cup of hot chocolate with Starbucks logo. I don't like coffee, in fact I don't drink coffee...well, except sometimes I drank mocha....it's coffee isn't??? Sure taste like one. But anyway, I rarely go to Starbucks. In fact, this is my only 3rd time, the 1st was in Singapore.... HAHAHAHA... go figure that one out!!! Well, the only reason I'm here now anyway because of the free WiFi they offer, so I can finish write this damn post....which have been postponed for days.... (Well what do you expect of me!!!)

I like to tell you a story about my neighborhood in a 'dark' right now, so I can't online from home, but what the h***, let's continue this post first... ok starto....

As what you (yes, you...there are not alot of ppl actually read this crap!) already knew, I'm not a 'sociable' person, so I rarely going out during the weekend. I like to sit at home watching TV and play games rather than going out looking for parking and line up at the register. But as I grew "older" I want to visit as many places as I can, not shopping mall, or zoos or theme park...if you know what I mean.

So last saturday, I follow my friend and her lab buddies to air terjun (waterfall) in Tangkak, Johor (I don't exactly sure about this but ppls said it's part of Gunung Ledang area). Traveling in a large group of ppls is not my thing (remember, I'm not a PEOPLE person), especially if I don't know who they are. But i just wanna go out, and do 'I've been there and done that' kindda thing.

The climb to the 'prettiest' waterfall is so tiring, I soak in sweat through the half of the journey! But actually, we don't have to climb till that very top of the waterfall because half of the team already camp right in the 'middle', which is 'almost' the same "waterfall effect" as at the top! I'm sweating like a pig, and now I have to go down now!!! Damn!But it's worth it??? Right???

The place they choose is not too bad...except a lot of ppls at the same spot. What do you expect on weekend...during school holidays....

I've a plan to meet with my school friends after this trip, at 9pm. I thought I can make it....but NOPE!! Because I'm not driving my own car, I follow someone else's....I never thought we arrived in JB at 10pm!So, I miss the dinner, and the chatting and the gossip....

The next day, I have an appointment at the beauty shop (coz I bought the coupon). I end up buying their product and the sign up for the long treatment!!! They goes my fees for 2 semester!! I admit I have a very terrible skin (u know right....), and their so lovely and sweet talk....ARGH!!!!!!! I'm in the phase of regreting my decision..... T__T. I hope my mom don't found out about this....

The price to be beautiful.... I wish ppls can see beyond outer looks!!!

Well, what the h***.... Maybe I should stop now, no one is actually reading this right??? Maybe 1 or 2 that didn't give a f*** what happen....plus my so not soooo good grammar....no wonder I'm here...doing nothing... I'm depressed again...ok stop it!!!

Tip of Borneo

I don't know why I waited this long to go here. Maybe because I'm Sabahan, so I don't really paying attention what we have on our own backyard. When I realize I'll be leaving Sabah SOON, I know I have to fuel-up my adventurous side, and start traveling and visiting the best places we have here.

As you guyz read and saw in my blog lately, I've been going all out for couple of weeks now. Involving my self with student's project so I can have 'free' and cheap holiday, visiting Manukan Island with my x-housemate from KL (as pic from below post), and last Saturday, I pack-up my housemates and drove them to the heaven on earth, to the end of Borneo, the Tip of Borneo or we Sabahan called it Tangjung Simpang Mengayau.

Simpang Mengayau located in Kudat, the northern part of Sabah. It takes about 3 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu, less if you drive faster than me. Along the way to Kudat, you will see a lot of beautiful scenery of paddy fields, and even Mount Kinabalu as the background! Unfortunately because I was driving, I can't capture that beautiful moment. Mount Kinabalu actually can be seen aroung Kota Kinabalu, as long as the weather is clear. I saw it while on the boat ride to Manukan island 2 weeks ago. My first thought when we arrive there was this place is perfect for suicide. I hope no one actually do THAT(simpang malaikat 44), and my thought was weird sometime...or any other time. Anyway, the reason I thought that coz the tip is actually a dangerous place. The wave were strong, coming from both South China sea and the Sulu, and there are many hard big rocks surrounding the area.

The best part for me was not the Tip itself, but the beach. It actually dangerous to swim there as the wave were very strong, especially during this time of the year, the rainy season. But you can resist to put your feet under the water as the sea looks green and the white sandy beaches look sparkling from afar. With no one actually on the beaches that day make it like 'you own' the beach! However, because we didn't brought extra clothes, plus hungry and my housemates have to work at 4pm that day, we didn't spend much time on the beach. By 12, we go to Kudat town and eat lunch before we journey back home. That short little time we have was amazing, and that was I hoping to put on my mind FOREVER.

Next stop, or rather next "GOAL" (coz I'm not sure if I have the "money" to go there) is SIPADAN!!! I know, I'm tawaurian, it basically like an hour from Tawau but I never go there! This time I wanna make it happen. GOOD LUCK TO ME!
