New Era to Port Dickson

Hi! Hi!

How is your CNY this year? Is the year of TIGER! Did you roar out loud??? I enjoy my CNY this year. As usual, my company has a long shut down. We only resume work on 22 Feb 2010. So that mean I have a whole week break! Hurray! Hum......... wait, wait.......... A week break? So what should I do? Staying at home???? Erh...... very waste leh....... So of course go HOLIDAY lor!

Actually, mths back, I did think of going Shanghai visiting my friend. Free stay somemore........ but no lah...... I want relax holiday. So during Dec, I already turn down the offer so where to go leh? In Jan, I have a sudden urge, wanting to drive in Malaysia very much. I wish it can happen and I really did!!! Hehehe.......

Of course to many other people, it is nothing special to drive into Malaysia lah very common mah.......... but to me, is a new trying lor. Initally, I plan to go with my sister but she has performance during CNY. So I thought it might be hopeless again to drive in........

But ended up, I try to ask another kaki of mind and she can make it...... Hurray! She ever said:"You dare to drive and I will dare to take you ride to Malaysia." So my answer to her during that time was:"You dare to take my ride and I will dare to drive you in Malaysia." Hahaha............ SO OK LOR! SET!

Set? Set then go where? Hehe....... and is very last mins plan, about 2-3 weeks away from our departure. And futhermore, we plan to go during CNY, hotel almost fully booked. My first choice is Water Legend Resort, but fully booked. Then look for Avillion resort, also fully booked. Then keep searching ...... oh! found a 4 star luxury resort and that is "Thistle Resort"....... Hurray! There is room available........GOOD!

Then quick hands and quick legs.......... Booked it! Kiasi, no more room.

No regrets to stay in this resort! Very shiok! BIG BIG swimming pool and a Jacuzzi pool! Somemore, sea side is just infornt! Best of both! They have some water sports too! And I went for kayaking during this trip! Hahaha....... Donkey years did not go for kayaking liao.......... kayak out to the open sea is easy....... but coming back to the shore..... Haha......... 用进吃奶的力!Futhermore, kayak alone.......... my friend chose to stay at the jacuzzi pool ...... shiok, shiok relaxing there..... and me the stupid one..... chose to struggle in the open sea! HAHAHA.........

Here are some of the pics........ actually, story not yet finished........... later then talk again.


Testing 1,2,3 on my camera....... Oh! That map! We like it very much. Very good map. Thanks Roy! Where you get it?


The beach fornt of Thistle resort. Scrolling at the beach before we can get our room.


Showing off our mani and pedi..... haha... siao.


The swing at the beach. Total there is 2..... Ya hor... why no hanmok?


Our room.

View from our room.






Behind me is the Jacuzzi Pool.














A divine tortise - inside a temple.


A pasa malam beside their public beach.....(like East Coast Park).




One afternoon, while we are shopping at one and only one retail shop at the resort..... we causally talk to the sales girl and she recommended us this resturant. She said the food here very bagus. So no harm trying lor...... we found this place base on her verbal description. Finally, we found it..... and hor.... this resturant only open on the 9th day of CNY!

We did not manage to taste their foods, but are very sure that we had fed their mosquito very well! Mosquito..... our blood very tasty right!



Singapore to Port Dickson should be very fast right? By right, within 3hrs can reach right? Do you know, I spend 6hrs to reach!!!! Hahaha...... not that I am driving like tortise. When the sign board show speed limit at 110km/h, I am speeding at 140-150km/h liao. And when come to speed limit at 90km/h, I am speeding at 110-120km/h liao. But how come still take 6hrs to reach??? Hahaha.....

During the journey to P.D, we explore Yong Peng (the place that coach stop) and then we lost our way there and take up sometime lor! We want to buy some goodies mah...... Aiya, I know...... you sure ask why don't go Malacca to buy! Aiyo..... 1st time mah..... have not study Malacca Map yet lah...... give me sometime to digest also mah......

Yong Peng have 2 exit (242 and 241). When we see "Yong Peng" this 2 words, we are so excited..... and just happily turn in..... Ended up the wrong one lor. The correct exit should be 241 (coach resting plc). Oh ya hor, maybe 242 also can reach the place that we want to go too hor. (try it next time, see whether 242 and 241 can link or not).... but we choose to make an U-Turn so when we turn out, we are at the going back to Singapore direction. So my 又爱又恨GPS tell us to make an U-Turn at Ayer Hitam.......

Finally, we are at the right track towards P.D, but my "heart to Yong Peng not die yet" "die die also wanna to explore, to find my answer".

I tell my friend, if we just continue our way up to P.D without trying to turn in Yong Peng again, we will never ever know the place. And we will forever just driving straight forward without exploring our left and right....... I think she feel acceptable.... so she agreed and we try again. This time, YES! We make it! Exit 241. We spend sometime there lor.......

And come back we also used 6hrs to reach Singapore leh! Hum..... What can I say leh? I also don't understand. Hahaha.......

One last joke! You sure laugh out loud one! While going to P.D...... I am too excited and I am very happily driving through out ........ without notice something. So last day, while driving on the way back to Singapore, at Portdickson Highway........ Suddenly, I shout out loud :"OH! SHIT!"....... Then my friend asked me what happen.

I pause for quite a while and the atmosphere is very quiet. And I said:"I forget to bring my driving licence." And then both of us laugh out very loud...... HAHAHAHA............ Alamak!!!! Driving without bringing a licence! And futhermore, driving in overseas! Steady right! Hahaha......... buay tahan me right? Aiyo....... Sometime, I also can't stand me this woman! Why got this kind of woman one! Aiyo, headache!

Luckly, my friend did not scream at me.... haha...... she still say nevermind, don't think too much about it. haha...... pray hard...... no police stop! Hahahaha.......

But after sometime.... aiya, what no licence .... all forget about it liao lah..... we still joke in the car while driving..... joke at where is the speed camera! hahaha...... Whenever we see the speed camera signboard, we will "Cheese"! Hahaha.......

Next time if you take my car..... please ask me: "Do you bring your licence." Hahaha..... if not you kanna 吃牢饭 also don't know why? Hehehe.......

Mingala 后续

Hi,
Still remember I have written a blog in Oct 2009 on Mingala - means "all the good things" in Burmese?

Those friends have came back from their voluntary expedition trip.

Here is the link about what they do before, during and after their trip. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=284413671155

Just a little more info on their this project.......

Before the expedition, they had a fund raising at Sin Ming by selling Chicken Rice and at the same time offering it to the old folks there.

Then after the expedition, they did house painting cum cleaning for the old folks at Telok Banglah. It was in Jan during my mediation retreat so I did not attend. Anyway, I have jio some of my friends to help them up on this event....... If you are the one, you can look at the link.

Enjoy.

Then that day, I want to wash my car mats so I went to the car and collect it. I wore a lok kok T-shirt and a pair of lok kok shorts. And maybe my hair is abit messy after doing those cleaning. while I am on the way up in the lift with my car mats, I meet an old indian lady.

Then this lady keep staring at me with the car mats. And I am wondering why?........ but I still smile at her. Finially she buay tahan already, so she start to speak simple English with me.

Old indian lady : "You, Philippines?" (Yes, I know she want to ask me, am I filipinos!)

Then I reply:"No, Singaporean."

Then she just "oh, Singapore" and smile back at me.........

Hey friends, you all have named me as "suliana" is never a wrong one leh! Hahahaha.....

Hey! I am a Chinese! A Singaporean Chinese!!! Hahahaha.......
