Weekend breakaway

16th October

8.30am
kick-started our journey with a hearty ‘dim sum’ breakfast at Tmn Connaught
9.30am
started traveling to Alor Gajah- did some road racing with Jo An….(no lar just kidding…..my small lil’ Kenari where can fight her Matrix lah)
11.00am
reached Alor Gajah and allowed to check-in early in Beverly Hills Condo in A Famosa Resort- the place is similar to a deserted town with bungalow units in a pathetic state and a lot of empty land. Loitered around the apartment and started to make ourselves at home. Ate a lot of junk food and not forgetting the delicious ‘duku langsat’
12.00pm
decided to go for the safari even though the fare is a whopping RM35/ pax. Damn expensive. But personally, it was a nice experience. Got up close and personal with lots of animals- goaty, camels, parrots, eagle, elephant and best of all we got to ride an elephant…woooohoooo…..and yeah, the ‘cowboy’ show…so silly until we can’t even laugh or be amazed….hmmm….but there’s a handsome ‘red-indian’….*thumbs up*
3.00pm
went back to apartment to refresh ourselves….no lah, actually we were tired after the bumpy safari ride….sign of old age?
4.00pm
started our trip to Melaka town
Mission: find good food for dinner (nyonya food or portugese food with ‘cendol’ and ‘satay celup’ or ‘ikan bakar’) and to buy lots of suff @ Tan Kim Hock.
Got lost around Melaka Town because we are on the other side of the river. Stopped two times at petrol stations to ask for directions. A good Samaritan (whom Foong Ling said is so cool and attractive) guided us from there straight to the fort. There are still a lot of good people around….Bought a lot of stuff from Tan Kim Hock and even met him in person. Then it’s ‘makna’ time.
1st stop- Nyonya food @ ‘Ole Sayang’
2nd stop- Satay Celup on the same street
3rd stop- Cendol and other delicacies – near Jonker Street
Mission: accomplished.
9.00pm
reached Beverly Hills. Skipped Cowboy Town because there’s nothing there and need entrance fees. We felt so full but ate some more junk food in for supper while playing Uno and take turns taking bath.
12 ++ pm
Sound asleep except Chai Yee who stayed up till the wee hours watching tv.


17th October

8.00am
walked around the clubhouse with the intention of playing some sports but did not achieve anything because most of the facilities need a certain fee. Instead, went back to the apartment and have breakfast of cup-mee and more junk food. After eating, some went for a nap- yeah, that’s how unhealthy we are but hey, we’re on holiday. Suppose to relax more, rite?
11.00am
with nothing much to do, we decided to check-out and enroute to Seremban to eat ‘siu hai’ but to our disappointment restaurants only opens @ nite. Sigh….Thanks to Kong’s friend we had lunchie @ a well-known shop selling the famous Seremban ‘siu pau’ and other very very nice tarts and puffs….Yummy….
2.00pm
started our journey back to KL. Me- feeling a bit tired and got a bit of flu with a nice memory……And the next day will be my first day at my new job…..
