Wet BBQ Party

This is quite an old post. It was on the 10th when my buddy celebrated his b'day. Its a BBQ Party. Quite a number of people came. Some come from Ipoh, Kampar & even all the way from Kedah!!

The b'day boy. Guess he wanna join Thaipusam 2011

Party started around 7 and when m3lv reached, I can see some of them started BBQ-ing


Well, I don't really like BBQ because 
1.) of the smoke,
2.) you'll dirty your hand when you poke that chicken wing into that bladdy stick, 
3.) you'll have to wait for the chicken to get cooked and while waiting you'll need to see if your chicken got "hangus" anot
4.) sometimes  your chicken is not cook then you'll have to get back to that "smoking pit"
5.) some people will steal your chicken
6.) some people will burn your chicken
7.) some people don't care about your chicken, he/she will just let it BURN till its BLACK!!


Well, this time, instead of BBQ-ing, I tried to find some cooked chicken on the table =) And I did find quite a few. 

And the through out the whole BBQ session, I only like 1 food, Its the banana choc!! Too bad we did not manage to snap a pic of it, because we were busy eating!! Lolx!! Well, its like the choc is in between the banana, and the banana is wrapped using a foil, and you'll need to place it in the hot charcoal and let it burn till the choc & banana melts. When it is melt and you put it in your mouth, oh my, the feeling is so damn nice!!

Once we're done with our BBQ, the water party started

Opening ceremony - B'day boy being thrown into the pool

In the end, all of us end up in the pool ==

All 5 of us was from the same class from Form 1 - Form 3 & our friendship last till now =) It has been 9 years of friendship!!

And a group shot!!

Ok BYE!!

Iceland Volcanic Ash

Do you know about the volcano eruption in Iceland that affected the whole world? 1 volcano which could interrupt the business all over the world especially airlines!!

If you're not aware, thousands even millions of people are "stranded" in some country and could not return home. Well, If you can't go back, and you got no choice and there's no other mode of transport, you'll definitely have to stay a little bit longer in that country. Instead of sleeping or wandering around the airport, why not take these moments to explore?

The Iceland government actually did a good job to stop the "Air Traffic" till the sky is clear. There are people which don't agree with it and they're willing to risk their life just to get back to their own country ==

I suppose Air Asia did a fantastic job offering cheap tickets to those stranded people. Its a brilliant Idea! Thumbs up! The only airline which are doing this in the whole world I think. Instead of stuffing up the airport, not bathing for several days, why not explore the country or just go to any neighboring country right?

No money? I believe banks are being sensitive in this case and should help those stranded people though. Unless the bank not willing to offer the money and you're in financial problem then there's no choice but to sleep in the airport.

After reading the newspaper, since so many airline company complaining they've lost several millions, why not they do the same just like Air Asia. That should at least recover a little bit of their losses instead of just loss.

Ok...I'm just rambling...bye!

Escape à Cherating

Its not the first time m3lv went to the East Coast

The first time was decades back!! When I was in form 2 if I'm not mistaken

And I forgot the place that I went ><

However, this time, It is an unforgettable trip

As m3lv & the beloved went East Coast, to Cherating!! 


Its an unplanned trip

As I've got no idea how to go, where to stay, what to do & what to eat ><

Its more adventurous in that way tho 

The only thing that I did survey on the night before we went was the resorts over there

In fact, I called most of the resorts late night to check on the rates!!

And I would say the website that help me the most was

WikiTravel

Trust me, Wikitravel do help me alot!! Though not everything about the town is listed but at least that give you some preparations for your trip.

The easiest & fastest way that you could use to get to Cherating is via the Karak Highway which will leads you to the East Coast Expressway

The toll will most likely be RM30.00 one way!!

Its about 2 and a half hour journey so in comparison, its like from KL to Ipoh/ Melaka

We stayed at Ruby's Resort


At first glance, the resort actually don't look like a resort, It look more like the SPCA in Ampang

Resort? For real?

But once you step in, you'll only feel it

Firstly, this resort is design and build by Ruby, the owner of the resort

Its not any 5 star or 3 star resort

Its one of the cheapest place you could stay in Cherating

And you share the same beach with Club Med!!

The place is really quiet and the beach belongs to you!! 

You owns the beach :)

There are quite a number of things that you could do in Cherating

Curiosity 

A visit to the Turtle Sanctuary

Its next to Club Med & 5 min drive from our resort ^^

And I notice that the turtle have some new swimming style

Michelangelo

So cute can!!With its leg/flapper behind its shell!!

That's where they keep the eggs that they've collect

After visiting the cute turtles, we went to the Cherating River Cruise


The Cherating Mangrove River

Its so peaceful when you stroll along the river

The sound of the birds chirping, the tree leaves rattles, the insects buzzing around

Things that you could hardly find in KL

It is just so relax

Empty your mind and feel the wind 

Don't worry about anything, don't think about anything

Ahhhh~I just miss that place!!

This is Mr.Alright, my personal boatman =P He's really informative & he got good eye sight as well

Us!!Enjoying our ride =P

The mangrove forest

The beloved spot something?

A mangrove snake resting

The snake was actually spotted by Mr.Alright. His eyesight really good!! He spot 4 snakes & both of us spot nil ><

But I did spot some thing apart from snakes

Jellyfish!

I spot jellyfish!! Yeap, Its saltwater river!!


Bee Hive

I've studied this before during secondary but forgot what its called already 

Do you see mud only? Look carefully at the white thingy

A single claw crab!! Very puny!! ><

Locals out for crab-bing

Houses by the river

After our river cruise

A lady recommend us to try the Ikan Bakar 

Dead Fish X(

Bakar-ing our Ikan ^^

The Ikan Bakar indeed was awesome!! Love It!! We actually had it twice!! We went back to the same place to get our Ikan Bakar again for dinner!!

After dinner, we went to watch the fireflies!!

Can't take any pictures because no flash allows. Even if flash is allowed, I don't think I'm able to capture anything =="

The fireflies shows are just mesmerizing!! 

Our "fireflies guide" have a way to lure the fireflies

When a bunch of fireflies flew towards you

Its like fairies coming towards you!!

If you've not see fireflies in their natural habitat before

Go try it!! Its AWESOME!!! Ichiban!!

The next day, we woke up early!! To watch the sunrise 

Enjoying Our View

Awesome view!!

Choppy waves

Unknown visitor to the beach

Common visitor to the beach ><

Then we saw some locals fishing by the beach

Reach up high!!

I was wondering is there any fish by the shore and guess what?!?!

Holy mama!! A stingray!!

Trust me, Its freaking heavy!! I can't carry it up myself, the guy help me to lift it up!!

Leopard Stingray

Then we walked along the beach



Taking pics of our shadows

of US!!

Sleeping on the sand

And then

Something going on again

Another stingray perhaps?

Gotcha!!

The common stingray

After done relaxing by the beach

Went back to our chalet

Our Chalet!!

When we're about to leave

We conteng the wooden fence

The beloved conteng everywhere!!

Ow~I've not shown you guys how the resort looks like rite?

Here we go =)

A virtual tour to Ruby's Resort

This is the corridor. On your left, you'll actually see my chalet, on your right, there's a rabbit playpen 

So we walk straight towards the end

And you could see

Playground for the kids

This annoying fella

Walk back to the front

This is the dining area

Their own bar =)

The beloved enjoying herself

So now, we walk outside the resort towards a tree

And...

Ruby's treehouse

You can see this big tree house!!

The treehouse is actually build by the staffs and sponsored by previous guest who stayed here!!

And next to the tree house

The beloved enjoying the swing!!

And this is Ruby

It was a fantastic holiday for myself & the beloved!!

We enjoyed alot!!

The peaceful & relaxing beach

The hospitality given by the resort 

All this makes our trip perfect!!

Ow yea, this resort is very different from others!!

No other place, not even a 5 star or a 4 star or any star that will serve you with this type of hospitality

Go Cherating and find Ruby

and you'll know it =) You won't regret!!

Heaven!!

The place is really like heaven!!

OK~Thats all~BYE!!
