Kelip-kelip!!!

As in... Fireflies~!!!
Which means... Kuala Selangor~!!
That links to... Seafood~!!
And the total unrelated one... Durian~!!

Well, I'd (note: had. No longer, because I'd been there woo lala~) been dying to watch fireflies at Kuala Selangor, despite that I have watched it last two years in Sabah. Guess I had been a really good girl this year and God granted me the chance for it.It so happened that Yen Ying wanted to watch too, and she demanded Nat's boyfriend, Yong to bring us along and we never thought that he took it seriously (and when I said so I do mean that he took it seriously and hence!! We got to watch!!!!) (*wet eyes)From left: Ying, Nat, Me

Lesson of the day: Voice out your desires. And Yen Ying really did a good job.Why that expression??!

Anyway.Beautiful~

We started off our trip (yea, a 5 hour trip) with food. When you tag along these girls, you really can't escape from good food. They are experts in it. Their expertise will be proven by the following pictures.Despo. As usual. (be it for food or a relationship)

Cream butter prawn. So good. The ultimate guilty pleasure is to finish off the butter floss. Can you imagine?? When the heavenly salty floss melts in your mouth, followed by a tinge of sweetnessss. Walao eh........ How come my dad never ordered this? We often go for those creamy wet type.

Sauna Lala. MUST TRY. The taste is not as special as the way they cook it anyway. But the sauce is good~
Bit bit of sour plus bit bit of salty. Perfect combination with the tasteless lala.

Yes yong. We know that. Lu LAla Lu lala lula lula ley.

Oh Jian. Whoa. Best of all. You fried your own egg+ oyster with the sizzling pan. But more expensive than the common oh jian. RM16 as compared to the usual RM5 or RM8.

Fishy. Not as good as what I had in Sabah.

Beh. Just to reduce the guiltiness. It is good anyway.

Shit I feel hungry now. I just had oat for dinner.
Walao that sizzling oh jian was ooolalaly sizzling good - anyway, anything with eggs are good.

Alright, then... The main dish - the kelip-kelip!! The name kelip-kelip is so suggesting - they really sounds like they are blinking.

Anyway.

We waited for about 30 minutes before we could really took the ride. Unfortunately, no lengzais were around hence had to find something else to do. Like...

Fireflies gazing. See la. It's fat now isn't it?? You wait. You better save it in your m2 months later I will take another picture of my legs again. And it will be much slimmer than this one. You wait.

Ahem.

And.... finally!!! The most exciting moment!! We couldn't really express our excitement because we were required to keep quiet - which was really difficult for us...

Basically the whole ride was quiet - except for the kecak-kecak voice made by Yong's DSLR. Yes, supposely, no camera is allowed - he brought it anyway.

Fireflies are... beautiful as I have thought it to be. Even a DSLR failed to show the beauty of fireflies.
But the truth is, no disappointment. The one you capture with your own eyes are the best.

The sky was even prettier - it is not easy to describe how pretty was it (because I have limited vocab.. =.= Okay I will read more)
Thank you picture. It was something like that - not entirely dark. Malaysia's 9.30pm sky not suppose to be like that. It's suppose to be darker I think. And this was like those perfect scene for the horror movies. As if a crocodile would attack us anytime. Or maybe a python.

And....End of kelip-kelip watching.

And you know what's next??
Scroll up again and see what I have written...
Or scroll down to see what I will be writing...

D-U-R-I-A-N!!!

It was... whoa.... Heaven. As if I had not had durians for years. But the truth is that, I haven't had durians for months. (which is quite long for a durian-lover for me, okay??)Yes, thank you Ah Yong~

Those we had eaten were not the high quality type but it was sufficient to satisfy my craze for it. (shit I feel like eating again)Eat more la eat more la. Look at your very impressive waistline. Look at your very wow arms. Not forgetting the thighs. Eat. Eat. Eat more.

Perfect trip we had. Good one, Yong and Nat. (and Yen Ying too!!)The end.

Melaka is wonderful!!!

Aiseh... Melaka only ma...

Ceh.. as if you have never been to Melaka before.

Yes, I had been to Melaka,
BUT!!
I had not been to the very famous Jonker Street.... =.= how can???
I'm a Malaysian eh!! Melaka is only 1-2 hours driving distance from Kuala Lumpur eh!!
Sadly, this is the fact.

Right, back to Jonker Street.

I really cannot forgive myself for stepping into this interesting place at my age of 22.
There are so much to shop, so much to see and most importantly, so much to EAT!!

The first stop - the Chicken Rice Ball which no tourists would miss if to visit Melaka.
We missed it. We had it in Muar earlier that day - our host, Terrence claimed that the Muar's one is the original one and it is softer and not stone-like like the Melaka's.
*shrug* no idea. I have not tried the Melaka's - will try it one day later.

First off - cendol. And the Baba Nyonya noodles.
Hmmmmmm cendol is also something that we shouldn't miss while visiting Melaka.
Terrence ordered 3 different flavours - Red Bean, Melaka sugar (so not used to the translation) and durian~~~Imagine how amazing it was when you have the cendol with the cool metal spoon after a long walk under the sun. The contact of the lips and tongue with combination of the cool metal spoon and melting ice is, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... truly, blissful.Anyway, fully melted cendol does not taste good.

After having the super heavy lunch, we decided to walk around and shop around - this is a must arr.
Spent donno how long in choosing bracelets for myself and my sister. Poor Terence - no bench is available in that shop. That's the favourite spot for all the guys who accompany their girl friends (literally girl - friends not girlfriend, geddit??) to shop - isn't it?

=) bracelet. When I visited KK I saw the same too. But more expensive.

Then we headed to shop some snacks. I insisted to buy this and force my two travel companion to finish it because I just wanted to try and I really couldnt' finish this off. Ceh. Doesn't taste as good as described. Maybe I have expected too much. Not that heavenly too.

Besides this, I bought some Mochee with different flavours which tasted REALLY good. I'm in love with Mochee already.

And of course, as tourists we were, how could we not take some typical tourisy pictures??
Selepas itu, we head on to Dataran Pahlawan - no, not to shop. It was a budget trip. We did not go to Melaka for shopping purpose (yea yea yea. Bought something in Jonker Street but those are souveniers!).

Yes yes, you might have guessed it correctly - we went to Nedeje Patisserie Cake House, somewhere I've always wanted to go. It is a cake house known with its Mille Crepe layered cake. Goodness. Am so thankful while get to know that Terence included it into our plan!!! I've been wishing to try out those layered babies when I saw it on my friend's fb pictures.

A tad of disappointed though. It was good, indeed - but not as good as I have expected them to be. It was rather sweet (yes although am a sucker for sweet stuff but there is a limit to it) and am not used to the chewy texture of one of the layer. We couldn't literally sink our teeth into it because the cream was layered with ... I don't really know what it is. I've checked it online - some said it was crust, some claimed it was pancake, but it tasted like neither of them.

Original Mille Crepe (how come it sounds so like Milipede??? Yuckiness to the maxiness). It is like a convention that everyone must order the original something when they try out something new hence we did the same too.

Tiramisu Mille Crepe -Remember? I said I want to try all the Tiramisu possible after I indulge in the one at Alexis.

My favourite is still the non-layered type - we ordered White Chocolate Cheese in Cookies Crust. Fine. I invented the name because I have forgotten the actual name of it.

And then, the vanity begins when Terence awake from his afternoon nap. Yealar we have always been that vain and this is the unchanged fact.

Fast forward to night - where we met up with Terence's friend Theck Ling and the other couchsurfer, Sheryl Cheng. You know what? There are a lot of coincidence in the world. You see, you know that I searched Terence through couchsurfing.org, right? (perhaps you donno but now you know) and coincidentally, when I showed Terence's picture to April, April told me that she was her online friend. So Terence is confirmed to be my host at Muar, and I decided to look for a host at Melaka. I hence approached Sheryl, who, wasn't convenient to provide me a couch but offered to let me stay at her friend's place. Since Terence later told me that he would bring us from Muar to Melaka and back to his house, I think that it is not necessary to stay at Sheryl's friend's place and I told her about this very kind Muar host who was willing to be our Chaffeur. and hence rejected her offer. Coincidentally, Sheryl knows Terence and asked if my host was him!!
It's a small world afterall.

At night, we went to try this shrimp and rojak which the locals claimed to be famous. We were very full by then but hey! it was a food trip!! It was meant to try out all the famous food at the places we visit!! Hence, we did.

While digesting (to eat more later!) we went to take a ride on the Eye on Malacca. There, I could confirm that I have acrophobia - which was firstly discovered when I took the cable car ride at Genting Highland. Ceh... I have always thought that I was brave and dare to try out anything but.. sigh..Ahaha still keen to take pictures while fearing~

Eh strange enough, I wasn't afraid when I was on the top of a hill or a mountain and look down neither would I be agitated to get myself down when I was on the canopy.Anyway, after the first round, I began to adapt with it and the fear slowly fade off. Perhaps it wasn't the real acrophobia. I donno.

Alright... last stop of the day - Capitol Satay Celup, also something you could not miss when you visit Melaka - hence we did not, although we were already 100% full.There ended my Melaka food trip~

My JB host Sam told me that they recycled the celupan (those sauce that we used to celup, what do you call that??) , this is what which makes the celupan so tasty - anyone could clarify it?? It sounds so ewwwwww alright????

Went to see doctor

Reluctantly. Super reluctantly.
Literally get forced to do so.

I was only having flu and coughing, I clearly know that am not having a fever. I was merely caught cold while playing water in the rain days ago but everyone was urging me to see a doctor. I hate seeing a doctor when it is not neccessary. (<---note this)

Kononnya the doctor would give me a medical certificate to prove that I am perfectly normal so that I can get through the checkup at the customs.
Helloooooo???? So what if I see a doctor now? So what if the doctor really give me that MC? If the customes check for my body temperature, and *touch wood*, it is really higher than usual, there is no point for me seeing a doctor now.. right???

Yeala, in the end, the doctor laughed at me and said there is not such things and merely prescribed me some conventional medicines. For flu, for cough, antibiotics and painkiller. WTF has my flu and cough to do with that fucking painkiller?? I didn't complain any sort of pain at all.

But can I confront the doctor?? No. because afterall, he still, is the doctor, someone who has spent 7 years (or more) and hundred thousand bucks to be in his current position. Taking medicine makes me feel worse. Now looking at them, am like, fuck, I have to finish them off -not because it is neccessary.
I just don't feel like wasting my 40 bucks.

Grrrrrr..... really. Why force me when it is really not necessary?????

Muar is.. mmm...

If you think that Muar is a boring place to be,

think again.
Alright, you are right,
Muar, indeed, IS really a boring place.

I spent 3 days in Muar, and I enjoyed the whole trip to bits.
It was the companion that matters.=)

Oh,
we should also thank our very animated host who also took up the role as a photographer, chaffeur, companions, tour guide and friend.

So we started off with chicken rice.
Seriously, there is nothing special about the chicken rice.
(hence no pic for it)

Selepas itu, we went to the temple.(terence said that we could tell others by saying that the pic was taken in Thai. Duh.)

We then headed off to Gunung Ledang~

We made it to the peak -
Terence claimed that there would be less visitors, and the water would be cleaner.
Ain't easy, but worth it~

Then we had heavy dinner - really heavy.
Oh jian.
Otak-otak.
Chao Kuey Diao.
ABC.
Fish Head Beehoon.Kuey diao on otak-otak leaf.

Hmm... that's more like a food trip.
Didn't take much of pictures because the food ain't special too.

Night ain't boring too - who would feel boring with a handsome Golden Retriever as companion?
=)

End of day 1

Jbjbjb

Yes la yes la, when everyone else is talking about Japan Hongkong Taiwan Africa yadda yadda, I'm here to talk about Jb.

So April is backed for some reason, I continued on with my planned journey to the south.

(will talk about those wonderful days in Muar)

I'm glad to be able to surf this couch,

when you have a private room and private bed and private computer and private everything for FREE at some totally strange place,

who wouldn't?

Blur?

Will talk more about this some day later.

Gotta go for dinner now~

Ciaoz~~
