His big day


Ohai guys! I miss my blog so much. So, here I am after lots of procrastination of transferring the photos from my camera. I wanted to blog about the bf graduation day right after we're back but I got busy with work and then my internet service got interrupted. 

When I got the mood to properly sitting down and typing out my thoughts, I realized all of my photos are still in the camera. Another bummer case for me is I lost my totally brand new SD card. Super frustrating because I clearly packed it into our overnight bag when we're away to Bintulu. And that's the last memory that I have of it. 

Okay, back to the bf's big day story.

Doing touristy stuffs like taking picture with the trishaw

The trishaw uncles are super unfriendly. We got shouted at just because we wanted to take photo with his trishaw. I mean if you're not keen on people taking photos of your trishaw, just inform us nicely, why shout? Hmmm...

And then it's Jonker Street adventure

I miss Jonker Street last time because I heard they are closing it down and I was there on weekdays. Basically Jonker Street is like pasar malam or night market but more atas one because there's a lot of tourists there.

We couldn't be bother with dinner since all that we've been doing while strolling Jonker Street was eating and eating. There are one too many vendors that offer varieties of food and we tried so much that we're practically full after that.




The next day was his official graduation ceremony.

With my man



I asked him how does he feel when he received the degree on stage, he said he felt nothing at all. Man, when it was my time 2 years back, I was so proud at myself for accomplishing my dad's dream and felt so touched. This man is obviously lack of emotion. 


Opsss! I know I repeated the same top from the night before

And that was because I planned to wear dress but it was too hot and I figured that I won't be able to find any good seat while waiting, changed my mind to my long sleeve top but it was too sheer for school. And the rest of the top that I've brought are just normal tee.


Reminiscing the good old day

After the ceremony, we continued our food hunt. The bf brought us back to 万里香satay celup. It was messy but damn it taste so good. 


And of course we went back to our lala tepi longkang 

Again it was great because the clams were fresh. We wiped the plates clean after 5 minutes. Oh yeah, we even stopped by 一级棒 chicken rice ball and dayummmm, it was great also. I never had chicken rice ball before but I guess this one must have taste better than the mainstream one like Capitol. 

If there's one word that I could sum up this Melaka trip, it would be foodtastic. The food is fantastic, get it?
It's funny how I titled this entry as His Big Day but half of the photos are our food photos. LOL

Melaka & JB trip

Finally I just finished selecting and editing some pictures from my trip to Melaka and JB last month. There are so many pictures that I had to go through. Clicking through each of the pictures make me miss going away again. But I shall work and save money harder now so that I can go for another holiday again, preferably somewhere out of the country.


Selca of me to start the post

I met the bf at KL since he accompanied his parents for a convention there. The haze that time pretty bad. Right after I stepped out of my plane, my nose was greeted with heavy smoke and I couldn't see far. I really really regretted not buying mask at Sibu because masks were sold out every where there. But at KL street, there are people selling mask for RM2 per piece. It was ridiculous really.

Shopping break

We didn't get to do much during first few days because haze was still pretty bad. Went back to Melaka the next day and I tried the coconut milkshake that the bf raved about all the time. It was really good that I ended up having it two days in a row. The one that we went to was at Batu Berendam which is near to where the bf lived. I heard the popular one is at Klebang but I don't know the exact location. I did went to Klebang Beach but the stall that sell coconut milkshake was closed. Not sure if that's the stall that everyone's talking about.


At the Ruins of St. Paul Church

I wore my brand new flat and it hurt so bad. Plus the bf parked quite far when we went to the Ruins of St Paul church and we climbed a lot of stairs too, up and down the hill because we went to the wrong way and ended up at a dead end. 

Camwhore with the trishaw

Christ Church Malacca

Sunset at Jonker


We took a lot of pictures around Jonker and Stadthuys but most of it turned out to be quite unflattering (read: sweaty and blurry pictures). The bf practically asked me to pose with whatever that we came across. The windmill near the Red Building, the leftover cannon, the bridge, the roundabout to Jonker, I had it all. Sadly, I looked like I just ran a marathon with sweat drenching down my top, smeared eyeliner and damned forehead.

The haze was slowly getting better and the sky was clearer when we were in Malacca but we stayed indoor mostly because it was too humid outside. We went to movies two days in a row, roaming around shopping malls and eating and eating and eating. I felt like I was eating the whole time when I was there.

Had my first try at Nadeja Mille Crepe but I think I prefer the one from Noodle House (Sibu)

Had satay celup and it was surprising very satisfying. Great but a messy experience.

Then the bf was very excited to bring me to eat lala and kerang by the longkang. Like seriously a real longkang, we sat on old school stools and wooden table at the backstreet enjoying cockles and clams fresh from the boiling pot. Served with only chili in soy sauce, it was really good. Lucky us didn't queue for the seats but the people after us had to queue since the crowd keep growing. 

It was featured in 8TV show "Ho Chak" too because I saw the newspaper clipping about that there

This uncle preparing roasted bean curd 

After 3 days of stuffing ourselves with good food in Malacca, we packed our stuffs and moving down south. My major plan for Johor is only Johor Premium Outlet since our time was limited because we wanted to explore Singapore.

My comfy ootd for travelling

Will continue about my Universal Studio Singapore trip soon.
