Holiday Cuti Cuti Malaysia - KL Selangor Bound with a Little bit of Johor Vs Birthday Zaid

Assalamualaikum~

بِسْمِ-اللهِ-الرَّحْمنِ-الرَّحِيم ~

Actually this happened few months ago, in May 2018 but I got extremely lazy I decided to wait until I know when to update about it, which is today. 

First time celebrate birthday Zaid as my husband, so kali neh bolehlah buat aktiviti macam orang dah kawen la haha. I did ask him few months before his birthday, about where to go for his birthday. Then I myself suggested for us to mingle around KL or Selangor je sebab manalah tau I got pregnant kan gitteww. Macam mana aku boleh terfikir aku pregnant walaupun beberapa bulan sebelum birthday beliau? I don't know either it is regarding hormone ke apa, everytime I'm about to get my period, I mean lepas kawen, simptom dia betul betul macam nak pregnant. Tapi tak pregnant hahaha.

Since Zaid turned 30 this year, I got him 3 presents. Actually I was inspired by my sister, she gave my BIL. Of course I want to give the best to my Hubsy, birthday kan setahun sekali tapi dia kena layan perangai helok sis hari hari tanpa rehat hahahaha so kasik chance la.

On the night of his birthday, I fell asleep while waiting for the count down on 12 midnight, so Hubsy woke me up so I can move to the right side of the bed. Masa tu dah 12.30 something like that la mungkin Hubsy pun dah kecewa tunggu bini dia surprise tapi nan hado haha. Dengan pura pura mamai, aku pergi bilik yang kitorang buat jadi wardrobe room where I have hidden his birthday gift pastu masuk our bedroom balik dengan nyanyi Happy Birthday dengan lampu tutup lupa nak bukak hahahahahha.

Nampak happy betul laki sis hahaha. Beliau memang macam neh, mudah terhibur serta selalu bersyukur, tak meminta minta. That's why I love him, giteww. Actually his birthday gifts cumalah 1 Coach wallet, 1 skinny jeans Levi's 501 dengan 1 Rayban  Folding Wayfarer. The Birkenstock sandal tu aku belikan sebab dia sandal dia dah siap putus putus tali kecik, kesian nau tengok. Lelaki neh taktau la semua macam tu ataupun laki sis je macam tu jenis tak kesah, tapi since I prefer Hubsy to look good, I bought him the sandal as well.

Ini hadiah yang tak disengajakan hahahaha. Few days prior when I was supposed to be in the time of the month, pagi tu je ada secuit darah keluar so I though, period la kan but for 3 days straight takde darah keluar langsung and masa pergi beli sandal for Zaid dengan Kyra kat Mid Valley, Kyra asked me to check sebab I kept feeling nauseous. So Pagi pagi bangun Subuh on the morning of Zaid's birthday, check la kan, tetiba eh positive. Eh. Masa tu macam confuse nak happy ke nak nervous eh rasa tak ready nak beranak rasa macam financially unstable eh duit tabung tak cukup lagi macam mana nak besarkan seorang manuasia lagi macam macam la. Tunjuk kat Zaid, happy lah beliau hahaha nak jadi bapak ye dak. Dapat tau pulak masa birthday dia, right timing betul. Beliau cakap, takpe Sayang, jangan risau, anak kan rezeki kita jugak.

Next, I already booked a room dekat Cheras je, lepas survey survey okayla kot hotel tu, ada bath tub hahaha. Silka Hotel dekat Cheras Sentral.

The room was spacious! Walaupun harga murah, tapi puas hati lah untuk staycation kat KL neh haha. Aku memang tak suka holiday jauh jauh yang kena naik flight and pergi tempat yang luar kebiasaan aku. I prefer tempat yang aku boleh drive bawak kereta sendiri and rasa selamat and tau nak pergi mana. Zaid terpaksalah redho walaupun dia bercita cita nak kesana kemari.

Since ada bath tub kan, I prepared bath bombs.

Yang besar beli kat Bath and Body Works, yang kecik 3 tu beli kat booth dekat Mid Valley. Biasa jela effect dia takdelah banyak buih sangat mungkin sebab aku taktau yang macam mana yang seronok kan tapi takpe, there's always a next time after the first time. Guess what? Zaid was really enjoying his bath tub moment. Seronok dia cakap. Lain kali kita datang lagi ye Sayang amboi dia mentang mentang dekat KL je hahaha.

Lepas tu keluar jalan jalan KL. Since both of us tak pernah pegi Pasar Seni, we gave it a shot.

Lepas dah habis acah acah tourist pergi Pasar Seni, we went back to our hotel sebab Zaid tak sabar nak main bath tub lagi hahaha. Itulah mengata Aisya suka main pool, Paksu pun sama dapat bath tub lupa dunia. Sempat tapau Ayam goreng kunyit for dinner.

The next day, of course lepas Zaid main bath tub lagi, we checked out sebab nak attend wedding Kirin adik Didi. Didi pun bagitau lambat lepas orang dah book bilik, kalau tak I'll just take Zaid to celebrate his birthday dekat JB je senang, lagi seronok haha.

Sampai sampai boleh pulak sama sama sampai dengan pengantin so kitorang join la geng kompang ihiks.

So selamatlah Kirin menjadi suami Mey.

Lepas tu sis dah penat so takde singgah mana mana. Terus balik rumah.

Keesokannya balik Klang pulak, celebrate birthday dengan family, sekali dengan celebrate hari Ibu.

Walaupun aku bukan ibu lagi, diorang suruh je masuk sekali hahaha bakal ibu katanya. Padahal masa neh family taktau pun aku dah pregnant. 

Keluarga Zaid memang happening, selalu ada. Mungkin sebab rumah dekat dekat kan, so jadi rapat sangat. That is of course something I don't have. Mungkin sebab tu Allah takdirkan aku kawen dengan Zaid so aku boleh rasa kasih sayang keluarga besar caneh.

So kita tengok nanti birthday tahun depan macam mana bila dah ada anak sorang. Boleh lagi ke main bath tub macam tahun neh ahhahaa.

Till then, bye!

Holiday Cuti Cuti Malaysia - Ipoh

Assalamualaikum~

بِسْمِ-اللهِ-الرَّحْمنِ-الرَّحِيم ~

Sebenarnya jalan jalan kat Ipoh neh dah lama, tetapi tidaklah selama wedding hari itu. Takde plan pun nak bercuti, it's just that kitorang pergi wedding sepupu aku kat Taiping so Zaid decided to stay 1 night around that place. Kitorang ada 2 choices, either nak pergi Pineng or Ipoh. Masa tu jalan nak ke Utara memang jammed. Tak sure adakah sebab weekend atau sebab cuti sekolah ataupun memang begitu keadaaannya. Hence, I told Hubsy, kita pun tak apply cuti hari isnin, kita pergi Ipoh jela since Ipoh lagi dekat nak balik KL. I was afraid kalau pergi Pineng, nanti Ahad nak balik KL jammed nak mamp then sampai KL lewat dan penat pastu nak kerja lagi keesokkan harinya.

Taktau la mata aku ke apa tapi ya Allah chans gils pelamin sepupu aku neh. Kitorang sampai pun dah lambat sebab nak sampai Taiping pun jammed gils jugak. Wedding dia was on 17th of March 2018. 

Long story short, we went to Ipoh. It was good, it was a fun-filled experience. Walaupun kitorang tak pernah pergi Ipoh, tapi Alhamdulillah kitorang stay dekat hotel yang sekitarnya ada few interesting places which is just a stone-throw away.

1. The Happy 8 Retreat, Ipoh

We stayed at The Happy 8 Retreat Ipoh sebab hotel dia menarik and ada few choices of room but since we did not make any reservation (blame the Hubsy since he told me on the very last minute that we will be spending a night there) so we luckily managed to get a room there. At first I was not quite happy but it only lasted for 15 minutes.

The hotel is mesmerizing. The decor is well-thought because every inch of the place is decorated. Kitorang tau la sebab kitorang dah jelajah 1 hotel hahahahhaa. Walaupun bilik kitorang macam kecik sikit but it was cozy, even the bedroom is well-decorated and quite spacious too but I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom.

 

They even gave us a map of interesting places around the hotel. Zaid wanted to ride a bike but he did not tell me that dia nak kayuh then bini dia dok belakang. I thought he wanted to rent 2 bikes. Aku dah lama tak naik basikal so I was not confident, lagi jalan padat dengan orang dengan kereta lagi so it is better for us to walk. Alah dekat jela tak sempat penat pun.

Dedua belum mandi tapi lapar nak breakfast dulu.

The breakfast was complimentary and it was good too. Tengok menu macam tak best tapi bila sampai eh sedap pulak.

Dalam bilik kitorang ada sportlight okay, that's why gambar cantek. Betul betul well-prepared orang hotel neh. Tau kepentingan sportlight untuk selfie.

So ready nak jalan jalan!

2. Ipoh ShellABration

Ini kitorang pergi the night we stayed at the hotel. I was hungry, Zaid too, so alang aland dah sampai Ipoh nakla makan apa yang best kat Ipoh kan. So googled and found this place. 12 out of 10 won't go again walaupun lapar gils nak mamp and kedai itu je ada, aku akan memilih untuk kebuluran.

Kenapa?

Servis lambat. It took even an hour to even have the drink. Zaid ordered Teh O ais je kot, & I ordered air suam. & masa tu tak ramai orang pun, ada la 3 4 meja family. 

Portion sikit and mahal. I asked the waitress, ini untuk berapa orang makan? She answered for 3 pax. I was like wah murahnya RM35 boleh makan sampai 3 orang. After almost 2 hours, then the food arrived but I am full already, full with anger. Memang tidak selayaknya dia cakap untuk 3 orang makan or memang orang Ipoh makan sikit taktau la. Ketam ada 1 and kecik, udang pun ada 3 ke, kecik jugak, sotong lupa da tak, lepas tu selebihnya clam. Selayaknya sorang makan je. I tell you what, I've been to numerous shellout imitation and ini adalah paling teruk and sangat tak recommended untuk pergi. Siap ada rasa hangit kot. Shellout kat Enjoy's corner lagi sedap RM45 siap ada 2 ketam besar, udang besar, sotong, clams jagung and sedap plak tu and betul boleh makan 2 3 orang.

Sapelah tulis review cakap tempat neh recommended, baik korang mintak maaf. Menipu eh korang.

3. Miniature Wonders Art Gallery

Next we went to Miniature Art Gallery yang ada dekat depan hotel tu je. Takde plan pun nak pergi tapi Zaid nampak so he insisted so why not kan?

Ini bahagian bawah, bahagian bawah free je.

Ini bahagian atas, kalau nak naik atas kena bayar RM5 sorang. Alah RM5 apalah sangat. Out of curiosity kitorang berdua pun naiklah. I am not that into history tapi Zaid is. Maka beliau lah yang seronok naik sini.

The model was made with flour. Yes you heard me, gandum adik adik semua. Aku mampu buat cek mek je guna gandum, dia boleh buat sculptur. Yelah, bakat orang lain lain kan. 

4. Funtasy House Trick Art

Ini pun dekat je dengan hotel. Dalam 2 block jalan kaki dah sampai. Entrance fee RM15 per person. I was reluctant to enter it at first sebab nampak kecik je, shop lot macam tu je kan. I went to Rumah Terbalik dekat KL Tower, it was quite small so macam menyesal la bayar kan. Tapi dah sampai kan, masuk jela.

I surprised myself at how big it was. It was 2 storeys and besar kot. Banyak trick art dia buat. Sampai mengah mengah aku nak amik gambar kat semua tempat. We were lucky sebab ada sorang staff situ ikut je kitorang and siap bagi suggestion nak pose cane. Dari mula mula sampai the last trick art dia ikut. Aku tengok orang lain dia tak ikut pun. Ke I was supposed to tips her? Dah sebulan baru dapat enlightenment ke hahahahahha

The happier person than me was of course Zaid. Suka benor dia amik gambar. Dia yang lagi excited semua pun nak amik gambar.

Memang berbaloi. Then nanti ada separate booth untuk print gambar. Nanti bluetooth je dengan orang tu hahahaha. Serius la memang bluetooh kot.

Penat tapi berbaloi la. Seronok kot aktiviti bergambar neh.

5. Concubine Lane (Dekat dengan Plan B)

Masa Ana cakap pergilah Plan B kalau pergi Ipoh. I told her, Plan B kat KL pun ada. Bila sampai rupanya Plan B tu dekat Concubine Lane. So Concubine Lane tu ada attraction macam Street Market where you can find the ais kepal, roti pelangi etc. Aku nak try roti pelangi tapi it was full house and I am not a patient person so tak try hahaha tengok orang try je.

I did not take a lot of picture at the concubine lane because ramai orang sangat. Penat. Dia macam tourist attraction kan, so ada banyak benda macam fridge magnet semua tu. 

6. Gerbang Malam

Actually ini kitorang singgah masa lepas dinner dekat ShellABration tu. Hahahha dia macam Uptown je so sebab mrah tak hilang lagi masak dinner so tak amik gambar jugak. Ingat singgah sini nak beli kudap kudap ke kan tapi takde. So jalan jelah. Beli fridge magnet 1.

7. Aeon Kinta City

Hahahahhahahahahaha ini sebab nak lunch tapi takut pergi bukan bukan ikut suggestion google nanti tak sedap pulak. Bagi sesiapa yang taktau, aku dulu belajar kat Matrik Gopeng, Perak. So kalau outing mesti pergi sini atau Ipoh Parade. Oh ya, I went to Ipoh Parade tu tapi kejap je tak ingat buat apa. Dulu sini panggil JJ sampai taktau nama sebenar dia apa hahahaha.

So dinner dekat Johny's. Dulu masa belajar dekat UTM Johor, selalu jugak pergi Johny's. Masa tu rasa macam mahal jugak sebab mungkin belajar lagi kan. Tapi hari tu pergi eh kenapa macam murah. Patutla ramai suka Johny's kan. So selepas 5 tahun plus minus tak makan kat Johny's, rasa sedap jugek haha. Zaid was a first timer, and dia pun suka.

9 out of 10 memang best pergi Ipoh. Taktau pulak Ipoh memang banyak tempat best. Kalau pergi lama sikit mungkin boleh pergi Hollywood dengan Pulau apa entah Zaid nak pergi tapi aku dah malas sebab dah Ahad and dah petang. Next time ye, Sayang hiks.

I wrote this entri is because Hubsy requested me to do so. Taktau kenapa dia. Hahaha mungkin dia seronok baca bini dia menulis.

Till next time, bye!

Regards,

Suzie
