A few scenic shots in which I excused myself from lunch to take. Put in a lil effect from the Samsung camera (I hereby announce my undying love for it) and wala! Picture perfect!

What I like about Malacca is the buildings. Brings back loads of childhood memories as you don't (say never?) get to see this in the heart of Kay Ell. =) 

The very famous tourist spot. It was an almost-cloudless day as you can see. VERY.HOT! I was never a messy ice-cream eater, but I was labeled that there.

Jonker Street anyone? My verdict: food's cheaper, better (especially the Muar Otak-Otak). Accessories sold there are waaaaay cheaper. A must-go! Oh! No pirated dvd/cd seller there = no booming music! Bliss!

Visited 3 museums the next day. The weather was fairly cooling in the morning but became hotter as noon arrived. Got really cranky after that.

The very famous A'Famosa! 

------ short post as I'm not very inspired at the moment------

Finally, the awesome threesome made it to Morib for the sunset! Yes, after years of planning to go there, we finally made it! 

Got up real early (in my very own definition) to meet up for brunch at a hawker store in Solaris. Summary: fuhreaking expensive and tasteless! White lou shu fan, like, seriously? Damn, this is when I miss my Sg Long lou shu fan. SO.GOOD.

After lunch, we headed to Hartamas Shopping Centre to lepak as we had loads of time to kill. 

Ze bubbly English-fied girlfriend.

 The signature pose :p

Had Starbucks, courtesy of Flake's Christmas present to Nick before heading over to the beach.

I drove. 

Disaster.

It was alright for the first half of the journey, particularly when we are on the highway. The moment we turned into Banting, Nick's GPS started showing how smart it is by bringing us through shortcuts and inner lanes...something I am never good at maneuvering. 

We started to get really worried when the GPS took us into a one-lane, muddy, sawah-like place. 

 Got even worried when we saw.........

Seriously? Was the GPS taking us to the Morib we had in mind? 

We obliged the GPS's orders can continued deeper in, until my car couldn't take the muddy lanes anymore. I was already extremely fidgety, simply because farms = wild = SNAKES! Got so, so, tensed up that Nick took over the wheel. Thank goodness for that for......

WE DID SEE A LONG, DISGUSTINGLY WIGGLY SNAKE LATER ON OUR WAY TO MORIB! Insanely long that it dominated the entire lane turning to the left. Wiggling.

We ran over it. 

Screaming.

Like someone spilled orange juice on our pretty white dresses.

Soprano like.

Might have had pulled a Mariah Carey high note that instant.

*shudders*

Anyhow, enough snake talk. These creatures gives me the jitters.

We arrived at our destination (safely, I might add) a tad bit too early (which I find it amazing since we got pretty lost along the way), so we decided om nom nom.

~come away with me~

The two very precious people in my life that has shared my ups and downs, sun and rain, joy and tears together <3

xoxo~

Overall, Morib is pretty disappointing, as I placed high expectations on it. Nevertheless, with the right company and all, it CAN be interesting and fun :) A truly enjoyable and memorable (SNAKE! Ughh!) day! 

almost forgot how it felt to feel excited even for the most simplest things. although it might meant nothing to you, even a word from you makes my heart skip. :) thank you!

 Ola! I'm glad that I'm still pumped to blog! Got to catch up with blogging yo!

 It was on this fateful day (chup! Advertisement sekejap: IT IS CHARMAINE'S BIRTHDAY! Ok moving on.......) that both Jess & I crashed Nick's company road trip to Johor Premium Outlet (JPO).

The thing is, I suspect I have this knack for sleeping extremely late when I know I have to wake up early the next day (flashbacks of 01.01.2012). Slept at about 2am again the night before, and woke up at 5.45am, and that was also after Nick called. I swear if he never called, I would have slept till 10.00am! Rushed the morning preparation (skipped breakfast T.T) and reached Wisma Genting just in time *phewh*

Slept for about 30 minutes in the bus when it came to a stop.........Seremban's R&R! Holy shizzles! Never knew a bus could fly that fast to Seremban. After all, it usually takes me approximately 1 hour to reach. Had our toilet break + breakfast there, then off we go again!

Slept for a good hour before I woke up feeling restless. To those that don't understand me, I can never sit still at one place for too long (except in bed). Hence, a switch to an empty spot by the window and...

Look at the hot weather!

Was busy playing games on my iPad and listening to songs when suddenly a loud crack came from behind the bus (mind you, I was already seated at the back of the bus, so it is pretty loud). Some thought we dropped something, some thought we went over something, I thought we were driving on freshly tared road. Stopped by the highway to find out that it's a broken tire belt. WONDERFUL! 

Thankfully after about 30 minutes, another bus agreed to help us. I was almost afraid they will cancel the trip and replace it some other day.

Thank you Mr. Bus Driver!

Reached JPO soon after YAY! Am going to save you from having to read about how insanely awesome shopping there was. Here are some pictures (to give you a rough idea of how JPO looks like), courtesy of Nicholas Ng, for your viewing pleasure:

If I have to list one thing that I do not like about JPO, it has got to be the FOOD. Ate at the food court and it tasted horrible! And to think we paid so much for it too! Tragic.

Our loot :)
