16 Feb - 17 Feb 2008 :: Port Dickson, Malaysia

16 Feb - 17 Feb 2008 :: Port Dickson, Malaysia

Hello everyone, we're just back from Port Dickson (or more known as PD)! Drove up in my trusty (at least for this trip) Ren MegHB with Meow Meow as the navigator (Woo Hoo... Meow Meow can read map!!)

Along the way
PD isn't exactly that far, just about 300km one way... Hehee... Cross 2nd link straight up the NS-Highway, quite straightforward la... So tempting to go faster than the 110kmh speed limit (Heh, is that a minimum speed or maximum speed??? Hahaha...)

Avilion Water Chalet
The resort room is built on stilts jutting out into the sea!! It's like several 'fingers' stretching out from the coast into the Straits of Melaka... Quite cool... Hehhee... At night can hear the wave sound also... Not fantastically a lot of activities to be had at the resort, but the Cochin pool is quite nice.. Quiet and warm water!! And it's Adults-Only!! Heh heh.... That only means no children la... Hehe...

Gym... Power failure, so end up working out in a "naturally ventilated" gym... Meaning to say, open all windows and hope the wind blows in... It has got quite a nice view actually, situated right at the end of the pier looking out into the sea...

We explored the sauna and steam room too... Hahaha... The men and ladies are separate sections... So we ended up shouting to each other over the partition.... Hehhee... Just in case any of us faint in the heat...

Food! Food! Food!
Wherever we stop, it's all about shopping and food... Hahaa... So fun hor... Eat Walk Eat Walk... =)
PD has some very nice nasi lemak... supposedly with salted fish... Hmm.... Meow meow tasted that, but I can't seem to find any shred of that... Hahaa... The rice is very fragrant.... Yum yum....

There's a pasar malam just about 15min walk from our resort, so we ventured there to find food... Hehee.. Meow meow actually wanted to find the chinese zhi tzar.... but but.... cannot find... But anyway, the place is full of food!! So no worries.... Dear, dun be disappointed hor...

Lunch Stop - Melaka
On our way back, we stop by Melaka... Just hit general direction without a map in tow... Hahaha.. Very daring hor? I think I prob drove the wrong way at some point in time, cos' the main road disappear and we ended driving thru some plantation area... Eeeks... Luckily my direction sense still not bad, can find our way back onto the Fed highway.... Phew...

We just have the chance to eat the famous chicken rice balls and gula melaka chendol, walk along Jln Tun Tan Cheng Lock and we headed back to the NS Highway... 5+pm oredi and another 2+ hrs to go.. Hehee... With daylight can see the signs better... just in case I drive wrong way and head up to KL... :p

Overall
It's a fun weekend driveaway!! Thanks to meow meow for finding the place and making the bookings... Nice resort, nice drive, nice company... Great for a short break... Hehee...

Trip Recommendation - Highly recommended!!

Kobi gonna learn salsa

During our PD trip, dear dear asked if i am compromising any of my lifestyle for him...

hm...cannot lie, right? hmmm...hmmm....

I tink I dun dance as much as i wan or wish to..

I would love to go salsa, see my salsa frens more often...but m afraid tat he will feel bored...

of cos, learning salsa has always been in his agenda, and i am the one who ask him to choose a tue, as my frens normally go union on tue, so we can go thr after his class, maybe I can oso pick up belly dance? *grin*

and guess wat??? my dear dear got enrolled into the JJ Dance Studio, tue class, 7pm, starting from 18 March!

hehehehhee....

I told dear dear before I dun need someone who knoe how to dance...and it is still the same... So dear dear, if learning after the first 3 months, you dun reali like it, its ok one, ok? As long as I knoe the effort is there, tat is all tat matters :)

I love you, dear *bliss*

CNY 2008

Ever since 1992, when my grandma passed away...my family stopped gg for visiting, all is my grandma's frens, so it became alittle meaningless.

For the past few years, CNY is the most most boring festival for me..everyone go visiting, i will stay at home... and the fact tat i dun enjoy tv programs made it worst...so sometimes, i will stay at home, sometimes, i will do a small getaway, thats provided i can find kakis :)

This CNY 2008 is quite fulfilling..

Preparation for reunion Dinner
Normally, on eve's eve, I will go the marketing(for reunion dinner) and cleanin up the whole flat(thou small, but still..) This year, my dear dear actuali plan it for me =)

a week before CNY, dear dear volunteer to clean up my flat..hm...maybe too messy, he cannot tahan? hehehe...so we spend one whole sunday afternoon cleaning up the flat, till dear dear sugar level went low, and his hands were shaky? hehehehe...

we went for marketing on day before eve(then went for wine gathering with classmates), we managed to get most of the stuff except electric beater...so the next day, dear dear offered to meet me for lunch and to get the electric beater(to make tiramisu)

Thanks dear dear for helping me in the cleaning and marketing, and making time for me *bliss*

David : *giggles*

Wendy tinks: giggles means? Hm….(Msg for Ernest, yaloh, go bkk, eat and sleep only right? No wonder….i can see the “change”)

CK : Ernest, now u say wat oso no use one, still honeymoon period....

Joey : yaloh, try again one year later

Ernest : yahor, now say wat oso no use..*sigh*

*went slience for while*

Ernest : But hor, its reali true one, u knoe? wendy is our very good fren, but still, all gals are like tat one...

SK : hm...shouldnt we say all these when wendy is not around?

Ernest : yahor...hm...

Wendy tinks : hm….u tink I’ll ever let tat happens? :P

*Ernest turns to Wendy*

Ernest : Wendy, I tell u now, now honeymoon period, everything oso ok...next time, everything oso not ok...(Now), David will says: they are meeting for wine, i go meet u then we go together :)...late? nvm lah, let them wait loh ; (future) Go for wine huh? u drive right? i see u thr uh?

David : *smile*

Wendy : For that, I have to agree, hehehee

Ernest : i advise u, if there are things Wendy is not happie, just let it be..if she wanna leave, let her go, she will come back one...

David : *hug me, and then smile*

Wendy tinks: hm...means wat huh? hm...

Wendy : Ernest, u gg to be on our blog ;)

***David = Kobi ; Wendy = Meow meow

****JUS FOR LUFFS* *ERNEST IS STILL OUR BEST FRENS****

Meow meow’s TOTS :

1. Honeymoon period
I have to agree tat there is always a honeymoon period, but also, it is up to the couple how they maintain the relationship. Sparks may not be everytime everywhere, it is like, if you see fireworks everyday, will it still be so beautiful and magnificent anymore? Maybe it will end up like noise?

It is a matter of how u keep the sparks gg…keep it simple, doing things together is one of the most effective ways; give little surprises, whisper little sweet nothings(only when u meant it, women are very sensitive creatures, they can sense if u r faking it:p)

2. Time for Gifts and Celebration
Everyone do knoe tat celebrations are invented by smart marketers to boost their sales....v-day may be invented as sales may be low for CNY festivals? Cos all shoppings are done in Jan already?

Be it whether it is a gimmick or some smart marketers inventions, it is still a good day, a good reason to show your affectionate for your love ones :)

However, you can always avoid being cheated by some outrageously priced menus by cooking at home? Having a nice picnic at East Coast Park/ West Coast Park / Pasir Ris Park / Esplanade / For Canning or even Sentosa? Going for a short getaway?

3. Sharing of Household chores and Cooking
I nvr mind cooking, and both of us love to cook and oso of cos, my dear dear dun mind helping out in the cleaning as well… its not a matter of who is cleaning it, its sharing the chores and doing it together… if u wan someone who does all the cooking and chores…hm…looking to maid huh?

4. Your money my money, my money my money
Hm…for this one, I tink traditionally, this has always been the case…I have to agree 70%, so it is a shared responsibility, but man will still have a heavier portion.

Let me put it this way : say when u have kids, its normally the women who sacrifices their job and look after the kids, and ultimately when a relationship dun work out, especially with kids, most of the time, it’s the woman who take care of the kids, also, it’s difficult to get another job or even find another partner…so money will come in handy when things like these happens…so there is always a rationale as to why things are in a certain way till now…

5. Ignore her tantrums
Ignore me huh? wat is the purpose lei? So that I will not be pampered? If gf is not for u to pamper then? hm...


So in conclusion, if you are looking for a someone to cook, clean, no need for you to pamper, and your money is still your money, hm...maybe…you can get a maid…more effective :p

Counting down to Valentine's Day

14 Feb - Where does this day comes from actually?? Invented by some clever marketer to drive sales?? Hehee... No complains, cos' I'm a marketer myself... =)

Should I go against the evil commercialization trend? Should I protest against the rising rose price index?? Heh, it should be the STI going up!! Brrr...

But but, it's still a time where couples all round the world celebrate their love for each other... Ok ok... Some cultures may call it a different name and on a different date, but the idea is there lah...

So let's go with the fun spirit and enjoy... Find a nice dinner place (or maybe we can cook... we do enjoy cooking together), exchange surprises, listen to some nice music, have a drink or 2...

What got me scratching my head is what I should get for my dear dear... Hmm... Meow Meow seems to have everything she needs and wants...

Hee... Actually I bought Meow Meow's V-Day gift liao... Now more worried if she will like it... Secali not to her taste... How how??... *pray pray*... Hmm... Hehee...

9 more days to V-Day... Better look through my checklist again... Hehee... =)

Meow Meow celebrates my birthday - Kobi

27th January 2007



Meow Meow went missing when we're shopping at SM MegaMall in Manila... Scare me... I thought where she went... Hmm... It turns out she's trying to make some special arrangement... Hehehe... It's a special birthday for me, spending it in The Philippines. Unfamiliar place to both of us, so getting a cake... Hmm... I thought it must be difficult.

Well, nothing's too difficult for my Meow Meow... Hehee... =)

We went for buffet dinner, Pinoy-style... at Gloriatta Malls... then we adjourn to a nice cafe, Bizu, over at GreenBelt Malls... (Heh, Philippines is full of shopping malls!!)

I had a birthday cake!! And Meow Meow has the cafe got it ready with candle and song... Hehee... All pre-arranged!! Thanks, dear!

And here's my birthday gift from Meow Meow... Hehee... It's a nice classy watch... Very beautiful right? Hehee... :p Fits my classy style right?? *wink wink*

Some snapshots - Part 1

Hehehe.... These are just some snapshots of our Philippines trip. Not in sequence yet... Heh, it's a bit difficult to get the photos sized to fit the blog... =)

Getting our "tattoos" done... Actually it's just Henna...
Exploring the resort we stayed the first 2 days... Plantation Bay Resort and Spa...
Another pic of Plantation Bay... The water behind us look so blue right??
Dinner by the sea... Later I ordered fireworks!! Hehee... Got video clip to prove ok... =)
Sharing a meal in a food court in Cebu City...
We flew Cebu Pacific... Meow Meow will tell you more about Cebu Pacific... Budget Filipino Airline... Not bad at all!!
This is actually supposed to be a Latin pub... Well, the music is a bit mixed, and the place is supposed to have salsa... But... But...
Getting close to the birds... Hehee... This is taken at one of the Sunday markets in Philippines... This place we went is called Lung Center... Make a guess what "Lung Center" means...

Taken too! =P

Hehehe... Sorry folks, Meow Meow is taken too... =)
