Rumah.Orang.Ade-Ade

Rase cam dah lame tak buat 'book review' eak...


Okie.. Hehe, i just finished reading this book (err.. last month).. hehe..
So, lets check this book out...





pic credited to here



Citernye pasal 'orang ade-ade' yang tinggal kat satu apartment/condo yang sangat oldies tapi kire yang paling masyhur dari dulu la.. kire mmg tempat orang kaya-kaya tinggal. The residents were either artiste from previous era or from financial sector.
Kire macam gossip girls / sex & the city type of story gakla (yela.. penulisnye pun orang yang same)...

For me, citernya ok la... sbb i take almost 3 months to finished off this book. Start citer agak boring sbb too many character to remember. Tu je dah take almost 2 months (plus time tu tengah sebuk preparation groovy day).. sbbnya agak dragful dan membuntangkan mate tengok tulisan kecik2... tapi once dah tetengah buku, dah pick up citernye jadi interesting.

The interesting part start mase ade nenek tua (ex- ketua resident kat situ la) mati, kire nenek ni yang paling otai la kat apartment tu... Then apartment die yang besar giler tu akan dijual kat orang. Kire banyak citer conspiracy orang-orang atasan la dlm nih... hahaha.. Err, ade jugak citer pasal blogger (mindy) and gossip column kat internet..

Pastu ade citer camne ade this one bimbo blondy yang citer2 nak berjaya kat new york and nak duduk kat apartment tu n seduce/slept with these 2 residents but failed miserably... HAHAHA... time ni mmg aku gelak dalam hati...

Pastu ade jugak la citer pasal chenta hati yang even dah bertahun2 terpendam, tapi kalau dah jodoh... tak kemana.. last2 bersatu jue.. hehehe.. romantic la (but i kinda expected that their love will be rekindled in the end)..




Reading while waiting for flight back from Bali...

Still @ Page 10: after 2 weeks of reading.. Hahaha.. ini pun sbb buku yang dibeli mase nak pegi tu (Accidentally Engaged) hilang kat hotel pelangi... Huwaaa... ini pun lepas ulang balik from first page sbb dah lupe nama character.. haha..

All in all, this book worth a reading.. You just need to be patience to reach the climax part... Hahaha.. Dun judge the book by its few first chapter... tunggu part yang climax baru la boleh judge.. tapi kalo buku tu ade 20 chapter, 10 chapter pun still hampeh takyah laa.. =P

ps: tetibe aku bersyukur walaupun just living in a normal apartment in a normal area, at least once ko tutup pintu umah, takde orang nak ketuk pintu share gossip terhangat di pasaran... Hhahahaha... (gile anti sosial aku nieh)

Gud.Bye & The.New.Beginning

Hurm... There goes another year of our life... Wiser or not, we're the only to know... hehe...
Biasenye, setiap kali new year, mesti ade azam baru kan... Aritu Maal Hijrah nye azam baru pun sumer tergendala... hahaha... So, kite start la tahun baru masihi nih...

Hehe...

Azam Saya... I have approximately 7 more months for honeymooning with Ted. So, am gonna appreciate every moment we have before we will be waking up the odd hour in the morning, and those sleepless nites (skang pun sleepless gak men psp.. ;p)

Lagi... Simpan more money ~ for 2010 End Year Project and for... shopping!! hahaha... Yeah, i anticipate that next year i'll be doing a lot of shopping activities.. So, i hev to start saving from...... eerr.. tomorrow? Hehe... ni kan azam tahun baru afterall.. hahaha ;p

Lagi... try at least 1 cooking recipe from that recipe book we get as wedding gift! huhu.. sangat malas mau ke kedai membeli bahan2..

Hurm... And yerp! Exercise a loott... i mean.. i gained 7 kgs already! Aiyyaakkk... have to start the diet program (eating proper meal) tomorrow.. no wait. Tomorrow will be Papa's birthday so, mesti ade makan2 and Cake (yummers!) so, start the day after tomorrow lah.. (Luse) Hehe..

And Lastly... Finish that 'YOU' book before the time come (haha.. creepy je bunyi)... Err.. and ade lagi... huhu.. stop crying everytime watching tv dramas/movies.. huhu... penat.. asal tengok citer ade unsur2 ikatan kekeluargaan sket nak nangis.. pastu Ted buat muke pelik, balik mate bengkak2... ;P takpe lagi.. tengok the biggest loser asia pun nak nangis? tahap parah dah nih...

So, with the reasons stated above, i might be writing in this blog lesser (or more).. Hehe... Banyak nak kena study nieh...

Owh wait, i wish to congrats my beloved hubby ~ En Ted for completing his final project. InsyaAllah kalu pass so, dah boleh grad! Yeppey!! There will be no more 'study' or 'assignment' period.. yippey... all of his time are mine! hahaha.. yupe.. the greedy is me.. hahahah..

So, 2009 will be gone in few hours together with my singleton life.. Hehe..

Nota tambahan::: wow! Next year I'll have 30 days annual leave + 60 days xx leave... Hahaha... Gelak jahat.... ;P

P.a.r.a.s.i.t

Pernah jumpe.. Umang2?

Crablike creature living in a shell...

Pergi cherating paling shock main umang2 nih...

Banyak... Dahla banyak shell yang cecantik..

Later i'll post the shell collection we managed to "smuggled" back to KL.. hahaha.. (buat muke smug)

Kipas Susah Mati..

Kalau diberi pilihan...

Antara jadik kipas ngan Lampu kat restoran...
Korang nak jadik yang mane satu... Kipas ke lampu?
Ingat eah... Kipas ataupun lampu kat Restoran...


Huhuhu... last Saturday gi makan seafood kat subang (south sea seafood kot name die) with my family.. orang ramai giler, thus it take quite sometimes for the waiter to send our food.. tengah tunggu makanan tu, ape lagi kitorang amek la gambar sesumer yang ade kat situ..
End up, gambar makanan satu ape tak amek kecuali dessert die (honeydew something2) sbb lapar dah.. heheh...
Okie back to the topic.. Normally, restoran akan hiaskan lampu with some decoration kan.. And i was.. "oh look at the lamp.. it's so beautiful with all the decoration and that.." Tapi lepas tu.. i thought again.. despite of all the decoration, lampu hanya tergantung statik (unless kalau ade angin baru bergoyangkan).. and being me, i can't sit still for longer than 5 minutes.. huhu...
So, tengok kat kipas.. restoran yang average, biasenya kipas die pun kipas yang average.. not the fancy fancy fan... Tapi, kelebihannya kipas adalah, ia tak berdiri/tergantung statik kat atas siling tu... means that, it's flexible to move walaupun setempat... huhuh cam berlari setempat pulak kan..

So, rasenya.. for me, i rather be a normal fan so that i will be able to move rather than be a fancy lamp but just stay static-rigid-unmoved..

Haha.. i bet u guys can't understand (or dun bother) what am i babbling here..
It's okay... it just me and my bobbling mind.. ;P

By the way.... Uhhh... teringat mantis prawn masak cili die... yummeeyyy!!! *drooling*

c.r.a.v.i.n.g

I'm craving for Mc D. Not just any Mc D restaurants... It's the drive thru' restaurant in the middle of highway... Hehehe... Ni sume salah mc d kat genting sempah aritu...
So, taking a longer route.. pagi tadi i had my breakfast at mc d mrr2 on the way to Shah Alam...
But now... I'm still craving to eat at the highway Mc D restaurant... Humm.. Hum.. harus menghasut Ted untuk carik Mc D yang jauh sket dr Mrr2..

On another note, (i know, it's already late) tonite will be the new moon nite with the hj ali's girls.. Hehe.. Ted jadi housewife ye arinih... I nak kuar... =P

And the other note.. after reading the review from here i bought the My Sister's Keeper cd at Jkt last week and watched it yesterday (sementara tunggu jaguh badminton balik ;p).. And u know what.. I cried.. not just the sobbing or mengalirkan air mata...ini siap cam teresak2.. huhuhuh... serious sedih! i have to find the book...

Ach!tung

1. Kedai Soto Padang Singgalang kat Basement Pasar Tebet Barat dah bertukar lokasi...



++ Kedai Soto itu sudah bukan begini lagi rupe die...



Dari pasar tebet barat masuk lorong kanan... akan jumpe satu resto nama same mcm name kedai nih... Sampai makcik (ibu') yang menjual/menyediakan soto padang pun same rupenye.. Pembantu2 die pun same.. Rupenye itula kedai terbaru Soto Padang Singgalang...



Tapi.....


Soto Padang die tetap kaw mcm biase..
Makan dengan Teh Botol pun same kaw die juge...


2. Harga Teh Botol masih Rp 3,000. Fruit tea (pelbagai perisa) dlm kotak pun masih Rp 3,500. *winks*


3. Dlm perjalanan 3 jam dari Jakarta ke Bandung.. Highway agak mendebarkan. Tapi ade satu scene dimana Jambatan antara 2 gunung sebijik mcm yang dilalui Hogwart Express dlm citer Harry Potter..


4. Rekod: Aku beli 6 helai baju yang aku takleh pakai sekarang. Tunggu sampai satu mase kelak baru boleh pakai... Mungkin lagi 3/4 bulan baru ngam.. Bukan pembaziran, Tapi investment.. ;)



++ hurm.. gambar to be uploaded later... itu je la update untuk perjalanan kali ni..

Al-Fatihah...

Hidup ni perlu dan memang ada balancing... Dikala kita sedang dlm kegembiraan dan kadang teralpa, Allah memberikan peringatan kepada kita untuk kembali mengingati-Nya..

It was devastated to receive the bad news while you're not around and to make it worst, you were not in Malaysia..

We lost our beloved Abahwe in his sleep, last Sunday @ 29 Nov 2009. We're at Jkt and received sms from Papa informing us that Abahwe had passed away at 84 y.o.. Mama & mamacik flew back to Malaysia immediately that eve while we had to wait at Jakarta until yesterday. Wajah Arwah seolah dalam tidur.. Alhamdulillah..
He was quite fragile from constant dialesys treatment this lately. It's really heartbroken to see him always in pain for the last few months.. Hope that he will be in peace there for there will be no more pain caused from the treatment and having to sit for at least 3hrs 3times a week, everyweek. Semoga arwah abahwe berada dalam keadaan tenang dan semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.

Al-fatihah..

thoughtful thought: Setiap yang pergi akan ada pengganti.. tapi mesti yang mengganti takkan same dengan yang pergi kan... hummm...

Fantasia Bulan Madu~ Ep.3

The Breezy Beach


Since our hotel was just nearby the beach or at the beachside. Hari2 kitorang mmg akan turun beach.. Time ni terasala macam rugi tak bawak kasut jogging skali. Kalau tak mungkin (read: MUNGKIN) bole jugak kite gi gym or jog kat tepi pantai pagi2.. (haha.. harapan laa sbnrnya). Maybe after this, we'll bring the shoes together each time pegi memane.. mane la tau kot tetibe teringin nak jogging..


Heh.. well, sumer pun tau angin laut pagi2 macam mane kan? huhu... mmg sangatlaahhh nyaman nye...



Heaven ~ my perfect breakfast momento..



Our hotel residence were mostly Australian who came to Bali to surf. Wahh!! time2 cengginih kalau ade lagu2 'surf' berkumandang lagilaa best & gempak kan? eheh...


Since we'll definitely drown in the ocean by the time the surfing board touch the water, amek gambar ngan surfing board kat pantai pun jadik ler... hehehe ;p


One of the surfing scene.. byk lagi yang berjaya snapped tapi these were the best.
Time ni mula berasa tamak nak beli lense panjang... heheh.. takpe next time.

Memang starting end of Juli until Oktober, the australian came down to Bali to have the surfing fun. Even budak2 kecik pun dok surfing.. (cam jeles pun ade.. hehe).



Hehe... catatan chenta harus ditinggalkan di atas pantai.
Baru la rase cam dlm drama sket... hehehh.. ;p

Ok, lupe nak habaq.. our hotel was situated at Seminyak. So, beach yang korang nampak dlm gambar kat atas adalah pantai Seminyak.. Pasir die agak gelap, tapi ombak mmg cantik!

At bali they have few famous beaches. One of it is Pantai Kuta..
Khamis tu, we all jalan-jalan sambil bertekad untuk sampai ke Kuta. Sampai je kat Pasar Kuta, terus kitorang beli jap kain batik for the Mamas and terus menuju ke arah Pantai...
Kat sini, pantai die putih, pasir die bersih (mmg dijaga)... And kelihatan ramai orang surfing dan mandi-manda sambil sunbathing...



To bad, time tu tengahari.. sangat panas. So, we just kept ourselves under the tree shades. ;D


Kuta Beach, Bali

We walked along the beach (still under the tree shades), jumpa dengan ada bapak ini baiki surf board. Borak2 dengan dia.. Hehe.. very friendly... ;)

Sepanjang pantai tu, banyak objek2 yang menarik untuk diambil gambar..

Along the Kuta Beach

Even just before we departed from the hotel, we went back to the beach.. Last chances to appreciate one of Allah's finest creation. Subhanallah.. Kalau boleh takmoh balik... hehe.. nak lepak hari2 tepi pantai.. Camnih, jawap komplen pun tenang juge... hehe..

Cherishing the final fresh ocean air before departing...

Along Seminyak Beach ~ Pelangi Hotel Bali private beach

Hehe... And finally.... The Joyous Moment of Us..


Encik Ted (after so much of persuasion)



Me a.k.a Ms Ted Groovy (this pic is much better than the one @ Langkawi taken last year.. hehe)


Ironic..

Mid pix : the red-don't-swim-flag with the background of people swimming. ;p

Okie... So, that's all for now... I save the candlelite dinner moments for a verrryy next next time.. Hehe seeing i have so much things in hand to be settled PLUS the upcoming trips to Jkt & Bandung (with the girls of the family + 1 bodyguard) and Cherating (convoy trip with the keramat clanz 'cum' our second honeymoon)...

Definitely one happy honeymoon for us & till we meet again next year Bali.. hehe..

Fantasia Bulan Madu~ Ep.2

21 October 2009 ~ Kintamani Tour (incl. Ubud Village) & Jinbaran Sunset Dinner

We were given 3 full-day-tour choices by the hotel (included in the hnymn. package). It's either Kintamani Tour, Bedugul/Tanah Lot Tour and Nusa Dua Tour. I always attracted to the Ubud Art Village where they have all the artiste (pelukis) showing & trading their paintings, and i'm not quite fond of temple (more or less, it will look the same as pagoda rite?) so we opted for the first choice - Kintamani Tour. And another thing, i'm actually afraid of Kecak Dance hehe.. ;p

That morning, after Subuh prayer around 5am, i cudn't sleep. Excitedla kononya. hehe.. Around 7 we went down to have our breakfast at the restaurant. And we wander around while waiting for the tour guide to arrived at 8am..

Usual activities to kill the time ~ so-called Photo hunting. (I see, we killed a lot this time ;p)

8.20 am the tour guide arrived. Bapak Wayan (stand for ~ first child in family) Bogor (agaknye ;p). Chis. ko lambat yer.. rupenye on the way from Denpasar, jalannya macet sbb banyak proyek. Takpe.. dimaafkan..

Although he & the driver look like normal Indonesian, they are actually Hindu. So, there. We totally forgot to ask for Muslim tour guide & driver, giving that it's quite hard to find Muslim food here in Bali. But, never mind. Tour mesti diteruskan.. Hehe..

Since i was the person that do all the booking (Ted was busy with his study back then), the package was registered under my name. First the tour guide having difficulties to pronounce my name.. hehe.. at last, he just called us with my Surname - Ali. The funny thing is, the tour guide call me Mbak Ali & Ted - Pak Ali.. hehehe.. ;p so cute to see Ted being called Pak Ali..

Along the way to watch Barong & Keris Dance.

Around 20 minutes later (no macet), we arrived at the place to watch the Barong & Keris Dance. Pardon me for not remembering the place. Akibat bangun awal, i was asleep half way to the place ;p

Us @ The Barong & Keris Dance

We were each given a manual-script of the story, just in case we dun understand whattheheck they're doing. hehe..

It is actually based on an epic from Hindu about the never-ending battle between the angel (Barong) and the devil (Rangda).

The show/dance.. They even have that infamous Tarian Pendet.. (Above, middle pic)

After watching the show, we continue our journey to see the silver craft..

Bling* Bling* Ka ching!


Demonstration on how the silver is crafted by hand..

After watching the demonstration, we were ushered to the shop where they sell all type of silver jewelery and even souvenir & all sort of things u just name it.. (hehe)

The price is quite high since it is a handmade product and using how many percent silver (i dun bother, zmn silver ku sudah berakhir)

Hehe.. lepas jer tengok2 jengah dlm kedai silver tu.. amek gambar jap ngan sales assistance die, kitorang pun bergerak menyambung perjalanan.. Kali ni, kita nak terus naik gunung...

Hehe.. Lama & jauh giler perjalanan die.. Dlm perjalanan tu, Bapak wayan nih berborak dengan 'Pak Ali-Ted' pasal politik.. Sempat jugakla aku tanye pasal Tarian Pendet tu.. huhu.. Ye la.. takut gak tetibe dpt buluh runcing sesat.. Bpk Wayan bgtau since Bali ni mmg mainly for tourism, so tak perlula risau.. Lagi tambah die, "Apa mau gaduh.. kita kan sama nusantara.. Lagipun, bahasa Indonesia pun diambil dari bahasa Malaya.. takde pulak orang malaysia mau gaduh2 sama kita.." huhu... Good thought huh?

Perjalanan diteruskan ke Gunung Batur, or in English ~ Mount Batur. ;p Mount Batur is a volacano and last meletus in 1963, and we can still see the black lava until now..

On the way to Mount Batur, singgah jap kat satu tempat orang Bali tanam Padi.

Teringat blajar Geography dulu, padi huma.. The scenary is superb!

We managed to grabbed some batik t-shirt for Papa, Abah & Abahwe.

Dah abeh shopping & snapped some pix.. we continue our journey to the top. We arrived there at the noon, just nice for lunch time.. So, we stopped by the Grand Puncak Sari Restaurant. (known to be Halal Restaurant) ..Tapi still kami was-was nak amek anything to do with meat. Jadi we just ate nasi, keropok, sayur, egg and fruits.

Us having lunch mengisi perut yang agak2 cam lapar...

Pak Wayan informed us that mase gunung berapi ni meletus more than 1000 people died... Kalau tengok memang lapang giler bawah tempat gunung berapi tu... hehe.. Just beside the volcano, there is a lake called Lake Batur. Cantik! Teringat macam Tasik Maninja (kelok 44) kat Padang/Bukit Tinggi.

Even with full stomach, we can't stopped snapping some pics of beautiful scenery... Dah angin best giler!

Walaupun time ni kami diserbu oleh penjual pario 7 = Rp120,000.. kami masih maintain amek gambar.. haha

Ok, perut sudah kenyang sumer? Around 1.30pm we continue the journey to the most awaited place ~ Ubud Art Village. We're supposed to visit Old Castle and Pura (Temple) near the Pasar Ubud.. But, we can't force ourselves to visit the Pura.. So, we just went to the old castle.. take some pix itu pun tak masuk sampai abeh sbb banyak sangat patung antu die.. hehe..

After that, we skipped the pura part and went straight to the Pasar Ubud. ;P Where, we spend more than 1 hour shopping.. Before we all turun van, the tour guide give us some tips..

"Masa Mbak Ali pergi shopping, Pak Ali ucap 'Selamat Berjuang'. Lepas tu, Pak Ali rehat.. jangan ribut-ribut. Nnti lama mau tunggu Mbak Ali puas shopping" hehe... ;p but u're wrong Pak Wayan... Coz this Pak Ali was just the same as Mbak Ali.. hahah.. ;p

Above pics: We @ the Istana Lama

Below: Me, few minutes before the shopping began.. Hehe..

Lepas dah start shopping memang dah tak ingat nak balik dah.. hehe.. Serious, lukisan die mmg cantik2 n murah2.. We grabbed 4 small paintings and 2 big paintings.. Sumer gambar abstract.. Love it! Now, the problem is to find the frame. Uhhh.. Frame confirm lagi mahal dari lukisan..

Sekitar Pasar Ubud

The pix were snapped mase we all tunggu the driver pergi amek van datang kat kitorang.. Hehe...

Next stop is Kedai Kopi, eh silap.. Kebun kopi.. err.. where the location? I dunno since i was sleeping (again, after about 10 mins bergerak.. ;p)

Here at the orchard, we can see all type coffee and the trees as well. Biasela.. what do u expect when u're entering a kebun kopi.. And me, being a coffee-a-holic, mmg terbuka laa mate gua yang layu depade tadi.. hehe... the aromaa.. oohhh soo yummyy!! Nak-nak bile sampai part orang tu goreng/masak biji kopi before kita boleh jadikan air kopi.. huhuhu... uuhh!! rase cam duk je kat sebelah bapak tu.. ;D

Hey! do you know they have male coffee & female coffee? i think it's cute! (^_^)

Tapi.. Kopi Luwak sangatla tak cute! the coffee was made from the Luwak's (mcm kucin) poops. EEyeeewww!!

Dun worry! Yang kopi sebelah tu ialah female coffee.. Harrumm.. sedap! tak kaw mcm male coffee tapi yummey gakla.. hehe.. And we had the lemon grass tea as well.. Yang dalam pic bawah kiri tu, ialah tour guide (yg pakai serban ngan kain pelekat tu) and our driver (yg baju putih).. hehe..

Okay, after having a cup of coffee & tea, we moved our butt from the orchard to the next stop ~ Jinbaran Beach to enjoy the Sunset and having a dinner at the beach..

Sunset & Dinner @ Jinbaran Beach

We entered from the seafood restaurant.

Masa mula masuk, tergerak dalam hati.. hurm cam kat Muare jer kedai die.. +_+ Tapi.. bila dah jalan masuk lepas daripada restoran tu.. Subhanallah!! That's all yang terdetik.. Terus capai kamera.. snap sepam.. Hehe.. The beach was sooo beautiful, the breeze, the scent.. all ahh!! mmg mcm dlm mimpi.. Dengan matahari yang baru nak turun.. hurmm..

We dun waste much time. We shot as many pix we could.. Hehe...

And see that ombak.. Ahhh!! The child in me screaming happily.. If i just could play with the ombak.. But, somehow dah besar2 ni takut lak tgk ombak yang kadang2 tinggi juge..

I luv the pics of penjual jagung + 2 tourists eating the jagung bakar. So sweet! ^_^

And as usual.. gambar memegang matehari perlu diambil juge.. ;p

Dah penat ambik gambar, barulah we all duduk kat meja & have the welcome drink and the peanut. Hehe.. and continue taking pic from the table.. And, just minutes before the dinner were served, our canon 1000d betrayed us and went out of battery.. chis!

Food pic taken from my K810i Sony E... boleh la..

The food was awesome! And i get to eat scallops that i missed so much! hahaha.. Yeay! Siap pow Ted's portion. ;p

Since our camera merajuk, we dun have the feeling to wait for so long ;p Lepas dah kenyang, and didn't finish the fruits (pencuci mulut), we went back. Lagipun, kita ada second mission tonight... Hehehe... We arrived at the hotel around 8pm. Mandi2 & tukar baju terus turun balik.

Dengan menaiki speda motor, we went to continue our quest of Kuta. Hehehh.. Kalau smalam dah sampai Legian, means that we're not that far from Kuta.

Oh, lupe nak cakap.. Most roads are one-way route.. So, last nite we were lost for more than 20 minutes. ;p Dah la tak ingat nama jalan (who remember the road name when u're on vacation?) Sebbaik ade resit sewa speda, barulah jumpa jalan.. kih kih kih..

So, tonite, we make a point to remember all the road's name and the landmarks i.e the shop, the signage even the harimau at one pura. Not more than 10 minutes, we arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel Bali... Tambahan membeli sehelai lagi t-shirt. We missed the HR Cafe last nite, so tonite we checked on the HRC as well..

Above Right: One of the SA so excited to see us with the camera. hehe.. "ini wartawan dr malaysia ni.." ;p

But, since the design at HRC are the same as at other HRC, we decided to went back to HRH and bought the t-shirt there.. Lain sket design die kan... On the way from HRC to HRH, we saw this one couple were on their way to the beach.

Eh! Tunggu... Mau ikut same!!

Tapi sbb lighting die sangat terang... kacau sket pencahayaan kat gambar ni + the amateur hands ;p

Dah puas perabeh ringgit kasorga kat sane + take some pics with the SA.. kitorang pun jalan2 kat area legian.. Tapi still kitorang tak sampai lagi ke Kuta... Aisshhh.. takper.. Esok 1 more day nak boleh ke Kuta.. hehe... As usual, before balik hotel singgah K-mart beli teh kotak & bread sambil percubaan beli aiskrem gagal lagi ;p

Next episode: Sightseeing + The Beach + Candle Lite Dinner

++ Something to share:: "An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said the ice chunks, spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast. Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs -- some measuring more than 200 metres (650 feet) across -- were seen in just one cluster, indicating there could be hundreds more. .... "If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up," he said. When icebergs last neared New Zealand in 2006, a sheep was helicoptered out to be shorn on one of the floes in a publicity stunt by the country's wool industry." Petikan daripada Yahoo

Fantasia Bulan Madu~ Ep.1

Bulaaann Madu di awan biru..
Tiada yang mengganggu...


Hehe... after what seems like ages, i finally managed to pull out this entry.. haha.. Setelah berhempas pulas memerangi saket perut (first me, then Ted), finally i have this one day that i can dedicated my time concentrating on putting my words into place.. ;p

Well, we had our honeytothemoon-thingy at this one destination. Not that far though. Just 3-hours away from home.. Since we both were running short of annual leave & time, we decided to search for the moon right after our wedding. hehe.. though, takdela like omputih yang right after the ceremony terus cabut naik flight pergi honeymoon.. ;p

And, despite of all the tiredness from having the 3-days events running straight, we went to the destinasi bulan madu the very next day.. Serious. hari Ahad tu, after the outdoor session, balik 'balun' lagi sepinggan nasik (itu pun ade rase nak tambah lagi sepinggan, tapi sbb jelingan maut Ted, ku batalkan niat itu).

Hehe, that nite mase bukak hadiah @ his parents house (eh, my in-laws house la ;p) pun rase cam nak tertidu kat situ gak... hehe.. sebbaik ade hadiah batu lesung pemberi semangat aku untuk terus berjage.. ;p

++ And on another note, just to share.. If u're the person to return all the bajus and handle some other things, the best thing is to have 1 day lapse before going for ur honeymoon. ;p If takde apa2 pun, if u're having all ur events (+ outdoor photography session) in 3 days straight, get 1 day rest before going to honeymoon.

Hehe.. Dahle penat from the events tak abeh lagi. Rase hati nak jugak main tipu bangun lambat the next day tu. hehe (kalau tidur umah aku aritu mmg confirm lajak sampai kul 10). Tapi, since that we slept at his house that nite, and we need to settle few things before off to honeymoon.. i woke at 6.30am and not sleeping after that (adela tidur curik ayam kejap ;p).. First, around 8.30 kejut Ted, sarapan lebih kurang. Around 9 we went to Arnie'z (for his reception) to return the baju. Then, dashed off to Gombak, to unpack & repack my honeymoon bag. Uppss!! suddenly i remember, tak print lagi tiket! wow! slamber bomba aku baru teringat sekarang... huhu.. That's why i hate changing plan at last minute.. (we're suppose to be sleeping at my house that nite before hnymn..but Ted change mind on Saturday that we'd be sleeping at his house.) Rosak plan nak kemas baju + print. (alasan! cheh!).

Then, after kena bebel dengan mama & papa (for the last minute preparation + printing), printer & internet lak takleh gune.. jadik decide to print at Ted's house. Hehe.. ;p We then running to meet Shamir the Selphya to get our wedding pix cd. Then, went straight to Seri Gombak and meet the we. planner - penganting exclusive to return the baju & pay some last minute request. Ok, settle.. then we go to Giant Tmn Melawati to change money (ye. ye. i know.. baru nak tukar.. ;p) and buy some munchiess for us to survive di rantau orang.. Dah beli sumer, ok pegi pulak CIMB Setiawangsa to bank in the bank draft. After buying nasi kukus ayam dara for lunch, we return to his home to unpack & repack his bag + print the tickets + lunch.

After another shot of bebelan from his parents ;p call Fareez (his bestman + bestfren). ok wa dah siap. We dashed to the Lcct. Hehe.. What time was it? 1.30pm.. Ok, Fareez dengan jaya membawa kami ke destinasi dalam masa kurang sejam - around 2.15 dah sampai lcct! Lepak2 lebih kurang. Tukar lagi sikit duit (hehe, konon takmoh tukar sumer laa tadi kat giant. last2 sini lagi mahal ~ sah-sah kawasan lpngn terbang kan). Then around 3pm, check-in the bags and whatnot we went to Marry Brown to have something (again~!) to eat and finished off the nasik kukus yang satu bungkus tadi tak dan abeh (tamak lagi) heheh..

Makan sume done, lepak lebih kurang.. tetibe rase nak singgah gi China laks sementara tunggu flight..

Bukan aper.. singgah nak amek gambar jerr~~ ;p Nak rase jadik pahlawan sat..

Hehe.. dah boring gi China.. around 5 tu, we all naik le ke tempat menunggu kan..

Sekali ada announcement flight to our destination was delayed from S'pore..

Delayed for another 30mins.. huhu! sangap!

Hehe.. aktiviti membunuh mase ~ amek gambar sambil beli coklat + book store time!

++ Muke ku boring sbb dah bayar baru perasan lauren weisbergernye buku citer psl highheels tu yg last ade jual.. chis! ;p


Aktiviti tambahan sambil menyeksa sebelum membunuh mase itu..

Prektis skil amek gbr gune kemere baru. hiks.. ;p

Around 6 tu, kami sudah boleh naik kapal terbang! Yeay!

10 minit lepas makan, both of us dedua tetidur...

Qada' balik mane yang tak cukup.. hehe...

8.40pm @ 19 October 2009, we arrived at the "Destinasi Bulan Madu!"

Denpasar Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali Indonesia.. hiks.

Sementara tunggu bas transit masuk kat airport terminal, amek gambar sepam.

We were waited by our chauffeur from Pelangi Bali Hotel ~ Bapak Rusdi (with my name on a plate)
to bring us to the hotel.. hehe.. Tak sabar mau sambung titun!!

That nite, it was Seminyak's turn to switch off the lights to save the electricity at Bali. So, there were no traffic lite functioning and only Pak Polisi mengawal lalu lintas. hehe..

Around 20 mins, we finally arrived at the hotel! Yeay again!

Hehe, we were given pineapple juices as welcome drink + hot towel while settling our check-in matters.. Hehe.. terase dah kehangatan bali. ;p

Dah settle check-in, kami dihantar ke kamar 214!

As we were taking their 'honeymoon package', we were given fresh flowers and cake upon arrival.. heh. Love cakey! Yummeyy!

Dah tengok bilik comel.. terus tak rase nak tidur dah.. Hehe.. Lepas cuci muke and lepak 2 minit amek gambar sket dlm bilik..

Kami turun ke bawah, berjalan2 ke keliling hotel..

Pastu rase cam aik, baru pukul 11mlm.. hurm takkan nak tidur..

So, we went to the K-mart (our must-go-everyday convenient store) to buy something.

Luckily nite life at Bali was happening with all the pub & disco still operating.. Takdela takut sangat jalan duorang. But the distance was quite far.. uhhh, my sliper putus u that nite! Hahahah! Deym! That's when we decided to rent a speda motor the next day.. (cubaan untuk bermanje mintak Ted encang (kendong belakang) lps putus slipa tidak berjaya malangnye.. chis! ;p) Hehe..

20 October 2009..

After having breakfast that morning, we went out to rent the speda motor before having our spa session @ 3pm.

Tak sampai 100 langkah from the hotel, we were kidnapped!

haha.. jgn panic!, we're 'kidnapped' by a promoter from bali hotel mane than to promote us their holiday club thingy..

Hehe, apart from wasting almost 3 hours of the day, we get the chance to recky2 Kuta town and get to see the Rama Hotel.. Wahh! mmg cantiks!
We said no to the promotion (of course) and grabbed the free t-shirt and lied that we had appointment @ 1.30pm.. We were sent back to our hotel by the promoter..

Small pix: Happy faces of us setelah dibebaskan sambil dpt free t-shirt & free holiday trip to any7countriestochoosefrom (which, we'll never go anyway)

Big pic: The memories.. hehe written on my 'groovy event book.'

After changing clothes & have some lite lunch, we went to the hotel spa for our "balinese massage spa session."

The massage was really relaxing ~ We chose the Tropical Sense.. hehe rase di alam rimbe pun ade.. Rase cam taknak bangun pun ade.. hiks.. Then, after drink the hot tea we went out to the beach. (gmbr nnti tunjuk di episode lain)

Naik dari beach, we changed our clothes.. and prepare to go out again..

Kali ini kita ada misi!!

Jalan kena pantas, kalau ade 'orang tahan'.. just ignore. no matter what, just keep walking.. hehe.. Port tadi selamat! fuh.. jalan depan sikit.. yeah.. we finally arrived at the shop to rent the motorbike.. Brader tu tanye, nak otomatis (ntah ye ker tak sebutan die) ke nak supra.. Supra 40ribu jer.. kalau otomantis tu dlm 60ribu..tapi die kate, kalau orang nusantara ni kira mcm bapak dengan saya ni.. kita bisa amek supra. kalau itu foreigner ramai amek otomantis.

Chiss.. pakatan taknak bagi aku rempit (ade hati ;p) la kirenye nih.. heheh. So, kitorang amekla Supra..

Taddaaa!!! This is our ride, baby! ~ siap ade I love bali. ;p

Dapat jer speda nih.. teruss jee jalan.. tgk2 kiri kanan.. alih2 we're at Legian..

Below right: Our must-go-everyday-convenience store: K-mart & Circle K. Tapi circle K kureng sket barang die.

We're at Seminyak, we need to across Legian before we arrived at the famous Kuta.

Sampai je kat HCH, borong sket bajus and then balik hotel sambil berazam esok pas balik tour nak jalan balik sampai sinih... ngeh ngeh ngeh..
