Memories are part of life whether they are sweet or bitter...but memories are memories.
It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone

Bukit Merah Laketown Resort What did I do on 31st August 2010??? Am I supposed to celebrate Merdeka Day in somewhere or attand any Merdeka open house?? Nah.... i didn't do anything special ever since I finished my F6 in my school (SGGS). Last time, during my secondary school time, there were many events held in few days before Merdeka day and even on the real day itself. Decorating my own class, take memorable class pictures for Merdeka big school banner to put it outside my school and even sing a few Merdeka songs during our hall assembly. On the day itself, we had a Merdeka countdown celebration night in our school hall. Teachers will bring theirs family and kids to play and have fun waiting for the precious moment to come. Colouring competition and few other competitions do held. This year for the very last minute me and my friend just got an idea of going to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort which was actually not far away from my university. About 20 minutes drive from parit buntar tol. Isn't it near.. haha.. Me and 3 of my friends went there and it was actually my 2nd time to Bukit Merah. The last time i went there was like more than 10 years ago when I was a small kid. I can't really recall how it looks like at that time. haha
Overall, I feel that is not that nice as what I expected. But i think the best part is the "U" shape slide which can make you feel scary abit but after you played sometimes it is nothing.. hehe..The entrance fee is RM25 and if you want to rent locker or the float, of cause you need to pay extra money. It can't be compared to Sunway Lagoon. Sunway Lagoon is far more nicer than Bukit MErah. Lost World Of Tambun?? I am not sure . I haven't been there... hehe. As long as you go with your friends you sure will enjoy the place and get crazy and get wet...
Clinic CafeA cafe which designed exactly like a real clinic where you will see there are wheel chairs, waiter and waitress look like the nurses from the clinic. The seats in the restaurant are just like the hospital beds. It was like something new for all of us. The main purposed we went there was to celebrate 6 of my friends early birthday bash (lilin, chin tat, sumin, chuiting, kok sun and yuren). But unfortunately Kok Sun went back home that day so he was not there.We had a great night there , camwhoring and chit chatting. Overall, the cafe food was not nice as what we expected. I won't recommend my friends to go there to eat but if they want to try something new then can have a try.Anyway now there is a new clinic restaurant at Gurney Plaza too.
The inner view of the cafe..
Camwhoring .. haha.. 14 of us..
Pulau Aman
Pulau Aman which also known as "Island Of Peace"is a small island in Penang. It is a home to a traditional Malay village. The nearest access to the island is from the one street village at Bukit Tambun. All you need is to take a boat from the Jetty at Tambun to Pulau Aman which cost you RM8 to and fro . It is a new place for us to explore as we never been there before. My friends told me that Pulau Aman is famous for Mantis Shrimp (Udang Lipan/ Lai Liu Ha). There is a restaurant known as Restaurant Sri Nelayan which sells fresh seafood. Theirs specialities are prawn noodle, prawn fried rice and everything that has anything to do with prawn. If we are lucky we are able to buy the small Mantis Prawn for RM1.50 each but unfortunately when we went there, there was only 5 left for us. The mantis prawn and other seafood are fresh from the sea. We also bought some crab. They only steam the Mantis Prawn and other seafood for us. They won't fry for us.
Another so called lucky day for me.... Guess what... my car windscreen broke this afternoon. It broke again at the same side where my windscreen was broke the last time by a theft. I was shocked when my senior knock at my door telling me that something had happend to my car.. Is not a good thing again.. This time it broke in my own campus. I parked at my hostel car park and damn lucky day, it was broke by the grass cutter blade. Of all car, my car windscreen was the only one broke among all cars that parked beside me.. Anyway, thanks to my senior for telling me if not I think they wouldn't know whoose car is it. Luckily they are responsible too. They repair my windscreen on the spot or else i do not know how long will it takes for them to settle it. Got a few scratches inside my car plastic handle. The carpentar somehow scratchit while fixing my windscreen. too bad no choice.. Can go buy lottery d. My sister told me that why am I always so happening.. always got such a happening story.. haha..

Toy Story 3
Yesterday I went for a movie with my friends. We watched Toy Story 3 in 3D version. The movie was nice and cute. I love to watch toy story ever since i was young. The last toy story 2 was like 10 years ago. The 3D version was not that good that I expected. They can actually do more than what they show us. Ice Age 3 and Shrek Forever After in 3D version are much better compare to Toy Story 3 in 3D version. Overall the movie is nice and i love it.. winks:) Synopsis: The creators of the beloved "Toy Story" films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of our favorite gang of toy characters in "Toy Story 3". As Andy prepares to depart for college, Buzz, Woody and the rest of his loyal toys are troubled about their uncertain future. Directed by Lee Unkrich (co-director of "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo"), "Toy Story 3" is a comical new adventure that lands the toys in a room full untamed tots who can't wait to get their sticky little fingers on these "new" toys. It's pandemonium as they try to stay together, ensuring "no toy gets left behind." Meanwhile, Barbie comes face to plastic face with Ken (yes, that Ken).
Buzz is Cute. Do not hold on his button for 5 seconds.. haha.. If you did that , then you will laugh like mad with his spanish language. Mr & Mrs Potato Head are funny too. The way they act and the way Mr Potato Head trying to transform its body is damn funny.

We took the cruise until we reached the World Shanghai Expo 2010. This expo is a World Expo in the grand tradition of international fairs and expositions. “Better City Better Life” is the theme of the whole expo. My eyes were like rolling around and I was like woww when I reached there. I do not know how to express my feelings. Once I reached there, I just wanted to go into ever y pavilion but I knew that I can’t. The whole place was like so damn fabulous and so damn nice and unique. The visitors there were like few thousand or even millions. All the famous pavilion like Japan, Korea, USA, Rusia, Canada and others , you need to wait at least 4 to 5 hours just to go in the pavilion to have a look. Even Malaysia itself.. haha…This is crazy right. There were a lot of people willingly to line up under the hot sun with their umbrella for few hours just to go in. Swt. Even China Pavilion itself you need to line up. Everyone told me that China Pavilion was a nice pavilion. They only give about 500 tickets out to go in the China Pavilion per few hours I think. Oh yeah, I bought myself a expo passport so as my souvenir. I just get the stamp from every country that I am able to visit on my passport itself. Cool right.. Haha.. I manage to get about 20 plus of stamp. Some was from joint countries in a pavilion. No choice I can’t went in to the famous pavilion. Hehe… I only have around 9 hours like that to look around. I where got time to enter all the pavilions in this short time. I just took the shuttle bus around once to look the outside view.
At night we went to Chenghuang Temple to pray and shop awhile before we proceed to our lovely dinner. The last night we had a wonderful and great buffet dinner In a 5 star hotel. The buffet includes many varieties of food. Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, Italian, Chinese and others. Haaegen Daz ice cream too.. hehe. The next morning we had some morning walk around our hotel area before we took our flight back to Penang Island. So, this was my all about my lovely journey to Shanghai, China. Waiting for my next holiday trip to somewhere else.. I love travelling around.. WINKS..:)
