Last year, DarlingDhanya won the Female 50 Gorgeous People finals
And with it she also won 3 nights stay at Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort

Since she doesn’t have a man to go with right now,
and her parents didn’t want the holiday,
who else better for her to go with than with some gfs

Seize opportunity of free stay in nice chalet over the sea, i say!

We had a spacious balcony that constantly had the tide going up and down
making wonderful splashy sounds all day and night

The room was really nice
they upgraded us to a nicer chalet which could fit four of us in there comfortably

Went to the Oriental Village to buy mixers, chocs, maggi cup and beer
I’d never say no to Duty Free alco
If you’re wondering why we’re buying maggi cup on holiday…
That’s cos the hotel food sucked so bad
Which was really horrible
Cos when we’re on holiday, we’d like to eat yummy stuff as and when we want
I tried room service, food by the pool, bleah
Chicken rice, burgers, sandwiches, all so disappointing for hotel food!
Only breakfast was decent -_-

As usual, i lugged a huge bag of scarves, accessories and toys to dress up the room fairy style

Most of the scarves you see in the pictures are bought from Lah’Lah’Land

We kept on giggling cos BogeyTheGiraffe looked like he was layaning everything we said
He’s making an appearance at Cat Got Your Tongue tonight!

Pony + wabbit conference
Wabbits will always and forever remind me of LynnLim

“Is that a cat?”
“… no… it’s a rabbit! “

So much for years of art classes

Doesn’t just looking at happy colours make things so much more cheerful!

The other chalets outside
and how Chalet Madness looks

Aps and i went on a ‘mission’
but we lost the plot halfway
i had my superpower fairy wand
she had a string of yellow beads

um… so yeah we did kinda look like two crazies traipsing around

I wanted to sit in a bubble bath in my bikini

And got shrieks of laughter when i unknowingly walked out
leaving a trail of bubbles

Because food was so bad at the hotel,
we’d take an RM28 (one-way) taxi ride out for dinner every night

Yes we LOVE FOOD

I used Biotherm Aqua Source and sprayed on new Estee Lauder Pure White Linen on holiday
(Both are sponsored, but both are mentioned cos i really like them)

We spent most of our time lazing on the beach
Reading, talking, basking in the sun, dipping in the sea

Sunday night we went to Sheela’s Restaurant and Cafe (at Pantai Tengah)
recommended to us by someone

The food was ok (but anything is better than the hotel food)
and we met Sheela who chatted to us and she’s soooo friendly and interesting to listen to
Summary: She married a German whom she met in Berlin, and she used to live in Germany which she still loves
Restaurant has been open for 17 years and she wants to open chalets behind it in a couple of years time
Has a son who’s an interior designer in KL

Yeah, she spoke a lot, but she exuded warmth so!

I took off to Langkawi last Friday with DarlingDhanya, Aps and DD’s sister Deepak
Stayed at a very gorgeous chalet over the sea at Berjaya Resort
(will post pics tonight)

Had a nice birthday yesterday
Was planning to have a big party this Sat with RowdyRudy
But canceling it due the very unfortunate death of RR’s aunt
Doesn’t matter
There are so much bigger things than parties when things like this happen

Had a last minute get together at Jarrod & Rawlins in Damansara
With
AshleyTheMonkey FaiTheMai QueenKanch MaryBerry PassedOutBen
TigerJoe SpankyCammy Aps DarlingDhanya StephTheVolcano
HoboNick (Cammy’s bro + Steph’s man) RowdyRudy TL

Just had wine + Guinness + dynamite sausages

Besides that i’ve been having mixed emotions of sorts
Think i’m going thru quarter life crisis
Not so much work
But more on the “confusion of identity” part
Like, who am i?
What am i on this planet for?
Am i supposed to BE here?
In this country? At this time?
Doing what?

Call it birthday blues, quarter life crisis, bah
Emo -_-

On a chirpier note, Cat Got Your Tongue is happening tomorrow

RSVP here!

     

BMW lent me their Mini Cooper for a long weekend recently

so i took the opportunity to drive it to Kuantan
which is one of my favourite road trips
cos the drive there is fairly easy
with highway that stretches out
curves languidly
and has lots of green scenery and minimal billboards!

Loved driving the car (to own car: but i love you more! i promise!)
Even before Kuantan i managed to take it out for a couple of events
and was so nice zooming about in it 

i love the sun
TigerJoe hates the sun (cos he loves his tattoos too much)
hence covering up kao kao -_-

Seriously, the only other person i know who covers up so much at the beach is DatinTini

I managed to shop in Kuantan when i stumbled into this bundle shop in the crappy mall there

So glad i bought this authentic vintage Mickey Mouse bomber jacket
*dusts it off before hugging it*

Btw, BMW Mini is celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year by wanting Mini owners to share their stories with them – be it being behind the wheel, somewhere you went, anything!
You can upload up to 3 stories with photos or videoclips and can comment on and rate other people’s stories.

If you’re a Mini owner or want to vote for others, find out more about the contest here.

     

In continuation of the last post:
If you’re wondering how come there are so few pictures of the straight men there that night,
none of the pictures are going up
cos they were all shamelessly gone -_-

So much for them taking care of the girls and almost-girl-boys

Supper of wan tan mee and soup

Random conversation i remember between PrettyAaron and i:
“Don’t waste food, think of the hungry children in the world.”
“It’s okay, my mother told me the kids in Somalia are having a rave.”

……… LOL

Breakfast at 3pm on Sunday

Ethan took us bundle shopping!
The moment i stepped in there i went HEE HEE HEE and couldn’t concentrate on anything Sarah was saying to me

But really have to hunt la that one
I got a belt, 8 tops and a dress for under RM30

PrettyAaron + Ethan in coffeebean

TigerJoe bought a drink from this place called CoolBlog

A boutique + salon called Birth

We went to another one called That’s Cafe
That also has a boutique + salon + cafe concept

We bought DVDs (RM4 for one!)
So i got Dirty Sexy Money and True Blood, along with 13 other movies
Can’t wait to start watching it while sipping on wine and nibbling smoked salmon

Went to some gudang garam place at night where ppl sold the most random things

We reached back in KL at 2:15 am

And died waking up for work on Monday

Who would’ve thought ey?

I’d say because i experienced some of these factors which i memang enjoy most:
– partying
– happy people
– shopping
– al cheapo shopping
– eating awesome cheap hawker food
– super cold air con (i’m so easy to please, the room was freezing!)

Ethan had asked SalahWrong to spin there last Saturday
and we said ok!

We took about 3 hours to drive there
and BenBen (my car) went on his first long-distance drive

“You’re going on your first long drive!” i chirped as i patted the glove compartment fondly

PassedOutBen called me while we were halfway there
“Wanna catch up tonight?”
“Can’t, I’m on the way to Johore la…”
“What you going there for?”
“Ethan asked Sarah and i to play there.”
“HAHAHA! Where you playing?”
“… dunno…”
“You going to Johore and you don’t even know where you playing?! Damn superstar right. Go only, dunno where!”
“Stupid.”
“What time you playing?”
“Er dunno…”
“… Okay. Where are you staying?”
“… dunno also.”
“-_- Everything also you don’t know right Joyce -_-“
Weather was a bit fickle on the way
Rain
Stop
Sunny
Stop

I was just looking out for a rainbow but saw none

SarChan spotted a cloud that looked like a…

or a miang camel, whichever way you want to look at it.

Johore is actually pretty clean
No trash around
And we went to an area with cheerful colourful buildings

Even the back lanes were nice to take pictures off :p

Ethan took us to some nice boutiques (that would put more than half the ones in KL to shame)

Little Red House / The Girl Next Door

This looks like a corner of toys in my room…

I took way more pictures of the boutique than that, but saving it for TiC
where i’ll post the address too
(it’s 3 in the morning and i AM NOT going hunting for an address in my handbag now)

I bought so many things in that boutique
I went in 3 separate times (first time alone while waiting for food, second time with TigerJoe, third with SarChan)
And all 3 times i came out with shopping -_-
Cannot make it
Whatmore i met owner BeverlyBee who was sO nice you just wanted to buy more things!
Ok i’m giving myself excuses :p

After makaning we went to check in the hotel
They put us up in Austin Hills

The room was so huge you could do cartwheels in there!
Or throw a party for 30 ppl
Or have 15 people take a hula hoop class
Or lay 50 down in sleeping bags
Or… you get what i mean

We went to a Duty Free Zone
Where a whole row of clubs and bars are
To play at this place called Lava Lava

SarChan + i

Nick + Ethan

Sarah and i had so much fun playing
The crowd was really layan
And we went downstairs to drink and meet new ppl

SarChan, BeverlyBee

BeverlyBee, AshChan, SeaWong

Sea, JoeyTeh, moi

Told Joey to be careful lest i steal her wicked bling AA hoodie

Was awesome to see a whole new group of happy party people!

Part II tomorrow
