my birthday celebrations, a random adventure in Kanching Falls and a wedding

Hello people~! I know I had neglected my blog for a few weeks now. Got caught up with work which is obviously my main priority and after that I had to study for my language test which I passed, which means another level up YAYYYY!

From the title you might have guessed what's this post about. Thought I should fill you on what I've been up to when I wasn't busy LOL. 

Last month, I turned 26! Despite all the hectic-ness at work, my friends made sure I celebrated my birthday, which was super nice of them :D I'm usually not the type to bother about my own birthday nor appreciate surprises but I liked them. Mostly because I get to spend amazing time with two group of friends turn awesome buddies which made it wayyy more enjoyable! Though there were a number of drinking session which definitely is a new personal record LOL. Yeah, I'm not one who find pleasure in alcohol.

In the first outing, we had our dinner in this cafe-bar place called Uncle Don's. Handsdown they're my new favorite spot. The food was absolutely delicious!



The place was so packed luckily a friend was there earlier to reserve seats for us, else it would have been quite a wait. They also served mocktails with rather amusing names. We had this S*x on the beach and Margarita. They tasted amazingly disgusting IMO tho my friends loved it. Closet alcoholics.




On my next meetup with another group of friends, we had Shabu Shabu before heading to this amazing bar, I-don't-remember-the-name Bosko that serves like, 15 types of Mohitos which is one of my newfound favorite alcoholic beverages because it's pretty much lime-y and sweet. Nothing too disgusting hahahah. But this one way quite rum-y it was quite rum-y so meh.

Oh, I almost forgot! The place serve this pretty amazing drink called Flaming Lamborghini on the house for birthday people and it was such an amazing experience. Luckily I had my guy friends helped me drink part most of them cause it tasted too sweet to my liking. I just pretended to drink along hahahahahah. Didn't have a pic cause we had to drink it as soon as it was lighted and flowing.

Also got this brownie from them and they were nice to add the firework sorta candle on top LOL


Dearest Cherlyn got me this Shiroi Koibito and Gummy Choco as prezzies sweeeeet!!

~ ❤ ~

Later that weekend I had potluck party among my language exhanged friends and I made this Kek Batik which turned out to be quite a hit and because of that I couldn't take a decent photo of my masterpiece LOL



This is my kek batik LOL

~ ❤ ~

Fast forward to just last weekend, my friend decided to go on this random waterfall hike at Kanching Falls and invited me along. It was quite a long ride from the city but we were super excited and energized when we arrived. That didn't last too long for me tho WTF. 

We hiked up the like, five flight of uneven stairs and just the second flight of stairs I was heaving and sweating, needing to stop. Was so embarrassed of my level of stamina.. 


Nature's stairs

Along the way up, we passed by several waterfalls. I was quite amazed that there were quite a number of levels of waterfalls. It's my first really, to hike by the waterfalls. 

One of the level we passed by~ The waterfall is spectacular!


We stopped at the fifth level, as there was no one and thus more privacy before taking a long, nice dip in the pool which initially appeared shallow but we were surprise to find it's quite the opposite.


The water was super cool and refreshing! Can't get enough of all the dipping!


Afterwards we had some nice Chinese dinner before heading back. Nice day, I would say. Would definitely love to do more hiking~~~ Gahh I'm already missing the place.

~ ❤ ~

And now, fast forward to just yesterday, my former colleague got married and held the ceremony in their new love nest LOL. Super happy for this lucky couple!

#MOTD




It's a garden theme wedding so the whole place is decorated with flowers including this table center piece.



Those are what I've been up to! If you're interested in what makeup I was using, don't forget to checkout my next post! I'll be listing them down~~

i vlogged : weekend The Forum KL cafe hangout~!

Hello people~!

I made another video here. Recorded from 2 weekends ago when my friends and I hung out at The Forum Cafe.



Actually, have another version of this video with my friends in it but this one it's just me because I don't think my friends want to have their face published LOL. I did shared with them the other version and one of them liked it. I too, liked that one better, it's a shame I couldn't share with you :(

Besides this video, I have another video unedited which I initially want to have it published together but it took me longer than expected just to edit this one video OMG. So that will have to wait until after CNY. On top of that, I am planning to shoot another vlog tomorrow and during CNY, so look forward to it OK! (*°▽°*)♪

a slice of my life

So as I have mentioned in my earlier post, I was around in Penang for a while. Let me relate to you an incident that happened.

Since it was Wesak Day, I tagged along with my friend and her family to go pray. Like in most temples, we have to take off our shoes before entering the temple building. That day, when I got back my sandals were missing! I looked frantically everywhere but there were no sign of me misplacing them.

We deduced someone had taken mine either on purpose or also because someone has taken theirs. And to think I just bought the pair just 2 days before since my other sandal's strap broke!! *facepalm*

Because I couldn’t go back barefooted for the rest of the day my friends told me to choose another and they went looking around for some slippers for me. I was like, really?? Seriously??

 In the end I did walk off with someone else slippers and felt guilty as shit.

m(ToT)m I’M SO SORRYYY!!

But I made sure to choose a cheap-looking, worn-out pair of flip flops. My friends were jokingly recommending "better looking" and "branded" ones as though we were shopping for shoes wth #whatfriendsareforright

The next temple we went, I prayed for forgiveness for stealing the slippers wtf. I related this to my sis and she said despite praying I'll still go to hell for that…

(;Д;) ( >∀< ) {go to hell d)

Apparently, this “vicious cycle” _as my friend put it_ is nothing new and even my mom has experienced this so many times she now chooses to go pray at temples that don't have rules of needing to take off shoes or she simply wears her oldest, most worn-out pair. I'm so-o taking notes on this.

If you’re wondering what happened to the pair I took, in the end I threw it away and for the remaining of my holidays, I settled for a pair of really crappy, RM10 flip flops which I got from the morning market...

And oh, I also prayed that my slipper thief will carry the weight of my crime and then maybe I'll be spared wth.

i was in Penang~! / Penang Bridge Sunset

Hello people~!

I’m finally home again after a week away from the hustle and bustle of KL city. And away from proper internet connection wth. Somehow I always choose the time when my data’s dying to go home..

While I was back in hometown, I went to Penang island to hang out with friends for a few days~ While driving across the Penang Bridge, managed to capture one of the prettiest sunset everrr! (*°▽°*)

one Sunday at KL Bird Park

... went like this ( = A =;)



Friend randomly suggested we go to KL Bird Park. Never knew such place existed all the while I was living here wth

So off we went. Got off from the Pasar Seni LRT and walked all the way there. So mafan one. By the time we reached the entrance we were so tired from the distance and stairs climbing and uphill climbing (X__X)

But we made it~!



Map of the bird park. The place is huge~!



Plenty of birds flying and hopping and fluttering freely. Here's a peacock showing off its feathers. Lots of them there but we didn't get much chance to see them like this.




Anyway, there are lots other birds there but lemme fast forward to when we went into a parrot enclosure(it's one of the many little ones there). That was where a lory ended up on my head wtf It's one of my favorite place 'cuz you can actually feed them!

Check out these 3 sitting on my hand so heavy (>A<) Plus their claws are so sharp they hurt and left small scratches on my arm ouchie!



Super fun though!

Besides the birds, the scenery's great too (@⌒ー⌒@) So calming cannot believe such place like this exist in the middle of KL!




And a pond with lotsa kois! And yes, you can feed them too. They had several gachapon stands around except for toys you get fish feeds hahaha




Waterfall!



At the 'tunnel' inside the waterfall~

Nice leh (^o^ )~♪



Had late lunch from all the 3-hour long sightseeing just in the bird park! There's an orchid garden and a few other parks/garden close by but we were to tired to check them out already.

Then took taxi to Chinatown a.k.a. Petaling Street for lunchy~~




Ais Batu Campur or ABC or shaved ice is perfect after a tiring trip~!
