Staycation In Malacca with Gossip Girls !

Assalamualaikum and Hi everyone !

Its been awhile I guess since I can gather my thoughts to write again.

Currently, I just finished my part time work and in the middle of preparing myself for new semester that will begin this 12^th October. Due to the current pandemic, my university has decided to let all Faculty of Business students to join ODL or Online Distance Learning. So, I will stay at home until further discussion.

I am excited to learn new subjects this upcoming semester, but I am also nervous because I already going thru it the last time, and what can I say. This ODL is not easy.

No further comment for that. I think I will make a new post about my learning journey in ODL and explain more about that hehe

So, due to the current pandemic, my diploma convocation also gets postpone until we don’t know when. My university had proposed to the students to make a ‘green screen’ convocation that of course get so much critics from the students. I don’t know what to say about that. This COVID-19 has ruined many things.

According to the protocol, all students that will graduate must do clearance at their own campus before the actual convocation. So, I already planned with my groupmate to go together as its been awhile since we last met, and we can reminisce our diploma journey together.

But, again, due to the pandemic, the clearance can be made online, so we don’t have to go to our campus to do it. So, we changed the plan and decided to tour Malacca like our diploma days. Thank you to Maira’s mum, she treat us with an apartment so that we can stay there for 2 Days & 1 Night and Suci’s mum, she rented us a car so it will be easier journey for us! It gives us a comfortable journey as we spent time together.

Like what I said, it is a journey to reminisce our moments during diploma days, so we went to all places that we went before.

On 17^th September, we began our journey with Suci’s picked me up from my house and we went to KL Sentral to picked up Maira and Nad. We departed from KL at 11 and arrived Simpang Ampat at 12. Our first place is of course, our favourite Nasi Ayam restaurant located in Terminal Sentral Alor Gajah. Restoran Nasi Ayam Nadia is a famous place among UiTM Lendu students as it located in a strategic place. Students who buy the ticket bus will surely get their lunch there! It serves the best chicken rice. It is our ritual for every new semester to eat there together. It surely brings the memories back.

Next, we also went to eat Cendol at Dataran Keris near the Terminal Alor Gajah. It is a small hawker style that sells a delicious variety of Cendol. People surely miss a gem if they don’t try this Cendol.

After that, we continue our sweet and icy journey to eat Patbingsu at Ice Bing. This is our top favourite spot to eat during diploma. Cheng is a real heaven for students at that time as there are many places to go and eat. We really went there often during our diploma years. Next, we went to get our famous Coconut Shake Batu Berendam and directly went to our apartment at Atlantis Residence near Klebang Beach. After rest for about one hour, we went back to the famous Bandar Hilir to get some pictures and went to Klebang Beach in the evening. At night, we went to get our dinner at Ikan Bakar Parasmewara. Spoiler: I don’t recommend eating at Ikan Bakar Paramewara. We need to wait for quite a long time, and they don’t serve great food at all. I don’t know why there are so many customers at that time and the foods are so expensive. I am okay to pay expensive foods if they are delicious and satisfying, but it seriously makes our jaw drops with their food quality that doesn’t match their price. Lesson learnt!

After that, finally, we get some rest at night while watching a movie. It is seriously a leisure night because we were so tired after went to so many places in the morning. We fell asleep at 1 am because everyone was too tired to speak haha

We begin our morning early and everyone already fully recharge at 7 a.m. After all the giggling and some funny stories, we get our breakfast at a Warung Robiah near our place. Warung Robiah is not a restaurant but it serves like ‘medan selera’. There are variety of foods such as Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Briyani, Soups, Kuih and many other things. I eat a lot of things as the price are quite cheap and it were so delicious. I am so satisfied with my breakfast that I decided to get a takeout to eat at our apartment.

Before going back to our apartment, as it still early, we decided to go back to the beach. There are so many people when we went there during the yesterday evening, so this time because it still early (We went there at 9 a.m lol) so we get to enjoy the beach and take some pictures together!

We went back to our apartment to wash up and getting ready for checkout at 12 p.m. After that, we went to get our lunch at McD and continue our journey home at 3 p.m. We decided to go back early to avoid traffic jam during peak hour as it was Friday but still, we got stuck and I arrived at 6:30 p.m

This is truly just a journey just to spent time and catch up with each other. After we graduate from diploma, my groupmate also went their separate ways. Except Suci and Ikmal, as both still at UiTM Puncak Alam just different courses, Maira in UiTM Dungun and Nad will be in UM this October. She applied for MEXT scholarship to further study in Japan next year, so we pray that she will get the scholarship and go for her dreams. We promised that we will visit her in Japan if she gets the scholarship!

The short 2 Days 1 Night journey has ended. It is a memorable journey for us and eventho it is a short time, but to spend time with each other at places that we are so familiar with, certainly bring back all the memories.

Thank you for the sweet memories. Good luck in our new journey and hope that you guys will be in better place.

Let’s meet again!

Staycation of Triple T in The Robertson, Bukit Bintang !

Assalamualaikum and Hi !

Finally, after almost 6 months, I have time to write this post. Its been a long time since I keep it as a draft. Its take time to sort out all the pictures because of course when it is Ting Ting Ting, the amount of pictures are ridiculous as usual. Hope all of this pictures can be keep as our memories forever. 

After school days ended back then, we already targeted to go vacation together when we atleast 21. So, we tried to plan it to make sure that we still can go anywhere we want. But, the initial plan got cancel due to circumstances. Nevertheless, we still went to our first vacation together, or should I say, our first Girls Party(?!) because it is too short and too loud ? but it still ended successfully !

At first, we planned to went to Langkawi, but then due to circumstance, we chose to stay in KL as it will be easier for us especially for our transportation so we settled for it and stayed in The Robertson, Bukit Bintang ! Actually, there are many attractive accomodations you can look up in all travel apps, but we actually planned it for last min so we decided to booked at Agoda after we checked the place and the facilities nearby. 

The Robertson, Bukit Bintang. Totally in the middle of Kuala Lumpur and you can totally feel the city vibes. Our accomodations view totally in front of KLCC and KL Tower and the view is magnificent especially at night ! Unfortunately, we cant see the sunset because it raining during the evening, but the view is still wow ! 

After I booked it in Agoda, they sent confirmation booking through email. The host asked us to give our phone number so they can contact us directly and gives details about the stay. I was actually very scared because it is my first time booked accomodations especially in KL, so I just pray that I wont get scam or whatsoever lol. After that, they contact us through Whatsapp and send the details about our accomodations, our room number, the facilities, rules and who we can contact if we have problems. The information is so details, because the host wont meet us during our stay. They only left the room key in the locker, and they sent us the password for the locker. It is the same during check out too. You just need to put back the key in the locker. Simple. 

I only contacted the host to asked them to give us towels as they didnt provided towel during our arrival. By the way, I booked a condo with one room. They can fit the total of 5 adults but actually more. maybe 6/7 ? Because it is quite big and they are fully furnished with all facilties such as refrigerator, TV, kitchen tools, washing machine, dinner table, coffee table, 2 queen size bed and 1 sofa bed, with 1 huge sofa with fluffy pillow. I think its enough for our 2 Days 1 Night staycation. Its worth it as it is so spacious and comfortable. The facilities nearby are quite a lot, such as swimming pool, jacuzzi, lobby, rooftop, 7-11 mart, restaurants and guarded with security.  So, it is a safe and secure staycation !

So let's check it out my 2 Days 1 Night First Staycation with Ting Ting Ting ! 

We bought our groceries as we cooked our dinner and breakfast tgt.

The view from our house ! 

Our hall. It is quite big and spacious. We played games together that night, and dont ask we almost jump everywhere at that time ! 

Athirah didnt arrive yet at that time. We just arrived and took our first selfie. 

Our first tea time ! Cekodok with nuggets with a hot tea. Cons : there is no jug provided lol

We ate before we jump into swimming pool that evening

The jacuzzi view ! Totally magnificent and look at our beautiful bare face ! This is what we call 'Kecantikan semula jadi di waktu muda' Gituwwwww

Guess who is the chef for our dinner ? Its me (IU// BBIBBI)

Spaghetti Bolognese with sausage and nuggets with our orange juice. Not to forget the jazz background music ! 

Indahnya hidup di waktu muda ! 

After dinner and Isya', its our girls night activity. We do not take any pictures as its totally inappropriate. We laughed too much and a total mess ! 

Nescafe to makes sure we always high ! HAHA

We celebrated everyone birthday that night and we got inspired with SNSD Tiffany birthday celebration with her members. So we tried to recreate it. 

But still, we are Ting Ting Ting. Not Girls Generation. We are still pretty in our own ways. I assumed we will be more pretty in the future. Bareface pun cantik kalau matured and makeup, sis taktau nak cakap ! 

At midnight, i think at 12 a.m, we went to the rooftop to enjoyed the city view at night ! Its totally beautiful. Its just we are not professional photographer eventho all of us a re school photographers before. LOL

Silhoutte of 5 of us ! 

Its my artwork. 

Our late night supper. Guess what, we watched movie after we came back from our sightseeing.

Azra recommended us to watch this movie ! It is reallyy gooood ! We totally recommend it as it keeps us awake that night and we totally enjoyed this ! 

Our bedroom view.

The girls take turns to cook. So its Yasmin and Azra turns to cook breakfast. 

Our check out picture !

On the way home, we planned to try the escape room in KL Sentral. So, we booked it earlier in their website, Breakout ! Its totally good !  They are several escape room you can choose based on the themes there. The host will guide you and explain the details of the situation of the escape room before you went in. Each of people will have their own respective roles during the escape process. So, you will solves the problems in the rooms using what you have such as maps, and the benefits from each roles. They are several stages until the last door to escape. Unfortunately, the time ended in our second last stage. We nearly escape the room ! We spend too much time to get the keys for our last door and ended up lost :( 

But still, we totally enjoyed it and would like to try another themes after this. Students can get discount if you show your student card ! Its totally affordable and recommended to go if you want to spend some time with your friends ! 

P/s: If you cant bear with confined or dark spaces, it might be difficult for you to enjoy it :((

Our last lunch together ! 

Our 2 Days 1 Night journey ended ! 

This staycation is too short but memorable. I wish we can spend more time together. Fortunately, we got to went staycation before the Covid-19 being announced as a pandemic. We went on 5th and 6th of February, and the MCO started a month later. Pheww

We will plan for another vacation next year. Let's go much further, girls ! Let's spend more time together ! 

XOXO Skye
