Yong: Hmmm.......still continue story of the trip.....:o))

We arrived at our hotel in JB around 10.00pm, the journey back from SG to JB took 1 1/2 hour. We bravely took "private taxi" which cost us SG35.00 from Queen Street to Terminal Larkin.  

On 13/05/12, after a simple Mother's Day breakfast at Parapara Cafe, Grand Paragon, and check-out, we went to Ayer Hitam, Batu Pahat for other shopping. Places where many outlets selling pottery,home decorative items, wedding accessories and others crafts. Places are heaven for a shopaholic! Too eager until forgot to snap photo! Haaaiiiiz.....

After spend  2 hours shopping , we then off to Senai to check-in our 2nd hotel, Rose Cottege, a budget hotel (RM70.00 per night-deluxe room) which took 15 minutes drive to Senai International Airport since our Monday flight quite early, 8.45 am. Within 5 minute, we out again to see my friend at Taman JP Perdana at JB to visit her new bundle of joy, baby girl. 

On 14/05/12, we safely touch down at LCCT around 9.50 am and pick-up by my sister and had our brunch! The rest of the day we just sleep and relaxing! When we unpack our bag that day......looks who's join in! 

Mika: Hmmm.....let see what stuffs inside these two bags. Sniff...sniff....

Yong: Well.....with all the tough decision.....ha...ha...we only bought t-shirts and key chains.

Souvenir from the zoo

The trays bought from Sunlik. I couldn't find those at our nearby baking shop. Need to start my baking day soon!

Aaaahhhhhh.....I love those serving plate! Those we bought at Ayer Hitam. A very good price, the rectangular plate cost RM20.00 per piece and the glass round-handle serving plate costs RM85.00

Mom going gaga about that vase, costs only RM55.00. At first Mom don't want to buy since we took flight and worry on how to carry it. Well.....well....the shop assistant can wrapped the vase in the box and Mom smile ears to ears when she hear that.....:o)) The vase safely arrive to our home. Hope Mika don't stumble to this vase like he did when he's about 1 year old. It took 6 years for Mom to find the vase that she like! 

Mika: Enough with all the story.......faster serve my dinner now! You didn't get anything for me, do you?

Yong: GULP!

Here we come Singapore........full and ready to the adventure!

We took bus at Terminal Larkin and headed to Woodlands. Bus fare-RM1.70  Our first destination in Singapore is the famous Singapore Zoo at Mandai Rood

Arrived at Woodlands, we took taxi to go to the zoo. Taxi fares-SG6.70

Yeaaaa........happy like a kid! We had a lucky day, I only pay one ticket (SG25.00) for Mom, since there was a couple who generously offers us two free tickets. Never get a chance to have their name but we are very grateful to their  kindness.

Since we only plan for one day trip, we not cover the whole area of the zoo. First we took tram ride (SG5.00) then we choose to check out several animals.  Since I love cat, we visit this white tiger. Very awesome animal!

The zoo also has boat ride (SG6.00) 

Masjid Sultan,Arab Street

After we spend few hours at the zoo, we headed to Arab Street by taxi (SG18.00.....ooouch) to have our lunch, pray and of course shopping.

I also met Kak Rima and daughter,Sonia to collect my order. We spend few minute chit chat. I'm over the moon on that day.

Then we had our lunch at Zamzam Restaurant. We had "nasi briyani" and take away "murtabak rusa" to JB. 

Then we walk to Bugis Street, along the way we stop at Sunlik at Seah Street to buy some of baking trays for my collection. The shop just opposite Raffles Hotel!

We really had a great time in Singapore even though for just a short visit. Will plan to visit again and of course the USS is our next destination!

Bukit Gambang,Kuantan

On 3 and 4 Feb, we off to Bukit Gambang Resort City for our holiday. We had plan this from December last year.

Mika: Not feeling good since Yong will out for 2 days and I'm all alone to guard the house.

Aqie: Don't be sad Mika, we all going to miss you....

Yong: Aqie so nice console Mika while we all getting ready and I've also had a cat talk with Mika 3 days before we off to the vacation. Still he feel sad.....

A night before we left I'm down with slight fever, cold and coughing. So I took medicine the night before and on the morning and slept all the way. Luckily I'm not driving, my BIL be the driver. Aqie also just recover 2 days before and he still on medication. So much so, we still excited on the journey.

Arriving and check-in. Penguin is the mascot of the theme park. Nice swimming pool. We stayed at Carribean Bay Suites, its an apartment. The hall and room is spacious even Aqie loved play in the room. Check out http://www.bgrc.com.my

After check-in we headed to the hotel cafe and order our very satisfying lunch.

After that we headed to the room and change cloth and ready to go to the water park. It's located about 250 meters from our accommodation. You can either walk or take tram with RM1 charge per trip. Entry ticket for adult is RM21.90, kid is RM14.90, kid below 90cm is free admission and senior citizen is half prize.

We had fun time on the park. Not much photo I took since the photographer also can't resist to see all of them having fun. This is the most visited area, man made beach,Coco Beach. They have lots of attraction area to satisfy your adrenalin.

At night we off to Gambang town with located about 6km from our accommodation. There is a food court and we satisfy with our dinner since we were hungry after all the excitement we had during the day. Everybody slept like a baby!

The next morning, after we had our breakfast we played some games at the hotel Mini Amusement Park. Aqie showed his skill and we finished RM20.00 to buy token. We also check on the Gift Shop and buy some souvenirs to bring home. Before we check-out at 12.00pm, we chilled out at the balcony while Aqie's Daddy take a short nap.

We reach home around 5.30pm and before we all enter into the house, I need to clean the toilet and sanitize the smell. We are proud that Mika doing his "business" in the toilet and not mess-up the house while we out for 2 or 3 days. He can take care of himself well. What the first thing he do when his out....make himself visible to the world!
