TRIP TRIP and more TRIP!

Heck, yes, I'm way off the time to post about my trip during the November holiday.

It was an alternate days public holiday.
Tuesday and Thursday.
So I decided to take leave on the other remaining days of the week as well.

That was because I was leaving for a trip to JB
LEGOLAND BAYBEHHH!!!
Anyway, Jon and I left to meet up with the rest of them early in the morning.
After rearranging our luggage in the rented car, all 6 of us started our journey to Seremban for breakfast.




Reached Seremban at about an hour plus where we went to the local wet market to have the beef noodles.

After filling up our tummy, we went straight ahead to JB
where our first stop was at a shop selling local biscuits, and some other products.
Then we head on to JPO (Johor Premium Outlet).

Much to my disappointment,
Things there aren't that cheap afterall,
and heck, there was a super long queue out of Coach store.
Not like it's so much cheaper anyway.

There aren't many food choices within our budget there.
So after shopped around - window shopping for most of us, except for V who got his stuff- we went to look for food.
We ended up in food court and grab a meal although it was quite pricey.

Then we head over for some "dessert" coffee! cakes!

And hence, we left JPO after that to check into our rented apartment.
There were 3 rooms which can fit 6 person, 2 bathrooms and a living room!





After we settled down our packages, we went for swimming at the hotel swimming pool.

There were some problem later on that night where all of us smell burnt smell coming out from the air condition.
Spent some time having the technicians to come over to our room to check hence, we're late for dinner.
All of us were exhausted and when we got back,
the problem was not fixed.
We waited, and when the technician were doing his job, the power tripped.
So we waited in dark in the phone light. *technology nowadays*
Kelvin were asleep while waiting though..
So we carried out our plan anyway even with the blackout.

The cake we bought from JPO, CBTL.
And we woke Kelvin up with the birthday song!
There goes his 25th birthday! Sweet 25th. Literally.

After we got the power back on,
all of us went to bed and prepared for the next day!

LEGOLAND!!!
To Legoland WE GO!

After an hour trip, WE HAVE ARRIVED!!





 The crowd was just too overwhelming. Most probably because it's the holiday season..

And finally, I got my annual pass, and we enter the LAND!
Most of the models are made of real lego!
How cool!







 Some of the buildings from the miniland..






























he's just exaggerating it. :P








It's so cool to see all these lego models!
In large size.. O_O

Not to forget some of our camwhores while we're there :)
Me and my dear, Jon - thx E for the pic.

Then we continued on some of the ride recommend by my bro..
The observatory tower!
The queue was long!
We waited for about an hour.

Finally, we're in the ride.
Not for long. zzz..
As it went up, we got a jerk of the ride (thinking that it was part of the ride's program)
But we were much disappointed when we heard the announcement regarding their technical problem.

Nevertheless, we were given a pass upon exit,


With the pass, we could play any ride!!
So we used it for the dragon ride.. which i can't remember the name of the ride,
But it was another long queue ones..

Glad that we used that up though.
Otherwise we would have to queue up for another hour just to have a 1 minute ride.
But like what dear said,
If we were to queued up long for a short ride, it wouldn't have been as much fun.
I do feel that that was the best ride so far. haha.

It was raining whole day.
Rained, stop, rained.
But we managed to hide in the Academic there for programming games..
Some robot programming..
It was .. pointless, because it was just for 45 minutes, gained nothing if you won it anyway..
just some sense of satisfaction.
But nevertheless, I was content.

Some random shot took by Kelvin.

Damn. it looked different with flash on. HAHA.

Then we did some last minute shopping in Legoland..
And took a group photo before we left..


And head hotel and waited for XiaoYing to join us - bring us actually,- for dinner!
SEAFOOD!



And some random shot before we left..
With very blurry background of Singapore..

Come to think of it, we we're just so close to Singapore!
I never knew.. until I've visited Johor..

Anyway, that night, XY followed us back to our hotel and we had the 9gag game and drink!
IT WAS FUN!!

The next day was the last day, we head back to KL.
On the way, we stopped by at The Zon to look for some free duty items
but we ended up buying some chocolates and Starbucks.

We stopped by for some stewed duck for brunch,
 with variance of noodles or rice..

And some other side dishes,












 And after brunch, we head over to Jon's sis' house!
AND PLAYED WITH LITTLE ETHAN!! *kyaaa!!!*

And then head home to KL!

We had our dinner together back at ZD's area
and we head back to our respective home.
Tired. Exhausted. Leaving all the memories and excitement, and relax for the rest of the week.

Then on Thursday to Saturday, I followed my parents to Penang!

Parents mission was to break the news regarding bro's wedding,
But my mission was to eat Penang food!

So we left early on Thursday morning,
This time around, we drove ButtButt back Penang!
I drove half of the journey.. *proud*

As we reached, we went to the market near my dad's hometown for brunch.
I wanted to have some Char Kuey Teow.. but it was not open yet.
So I had Hokkien Mee instead (Known as Prawn mee in KL)

 Then after brunch, we checked in to our hotel..
Our room has a seaview!
Dinner that night was with my aunt and cousin..
Some normal Chinese restaurant where we ordered for dishes..
I was craving for some hawker food.. :(

Nevertheless, the day after, we went for hotel breakfast,
and went around in the town for some jeruk and Penang biscuit.

Then we went to look for my another aunt,
and chit chat, then she brought us out for lunch.
Where I had Asam laksa!
That night, although I manage to get some hawker food,
But Char Kuey Teow stall was not open T_T
mission failed.

The next morning, I suggested to go for super tanker!
With the variety of food, I was certain that I would get my mission successful!

With much hope, I got disappointed again,
The stall was not open there as well..
So I had Thai fried rice instead.
As what the community of Foursquare recommended.

It wasn't much to my liking.
Quite plain.
Was still disappointed.

We went back that Saturday..
And I still couldn't taste my Penang Fried Kuey Teow! :(

Oh well,
CNY is coming soon,
and I hope I could make my mission success that time! ^_^
