remember.

Koh Lipe (13th - 15th Nov 2015)

This marked our second trip together. However, its not as successfully as the previous one (insert sweat emoticon). Last minute, there were two of them that couldn't make it due to personal and work reason while the other one only can make it to Langkawi with us (well.. at least she put in the effort in joining us, I guess?).

They should seriously improve their service at the immigration!!
Its taking up too much time!

Hotel we checking in - The Breeze
Even though there's no pool facility or sea view but I would still highly recommend

Very cool concept bar - Maya Bar, but we didn't get to tried

Highly recommend this restaurant - Raklay!
We had our dinner there twice in a row, simply because its just too good!

Just can't get enough with this view

Check out their sunrise view at Sunset Beach!!!
Totally worth sacrificing my beauty sleep for this!

Girls just being girls

Acting cool and spot our matching shorts XD

I just love this shot.
Natural and all of us were enjoying

Mandy bought along the rented floats she got and we had a photo shoot moment at the beach lol

Meet Jia Ying's affair

And also Mandy's affair lol

We joined one of their 1 day package where more snorkeling is involved rather than sightseeing

I just can't stop laughing whenever I see this photo

Why back view instead of front because front view has nothing to be shown
By the way, it was taken at Koh Hin Ngam

Okay, here goes some random photos

Its all about massage at Thailand!
We went here twice but can't recalled the shop name

Their tut tut car so damn cute

Simply love this shot. So much love

Just us in our bikini lol

Summary of the entire trip that I could recalled :

Two hours journey from Langkawi - Koh Lipe by ferry was terrible due to the waves hitting. The three of us nearly puke in the ferry. (Tip : Choose the morning session instead of the afternoon!)
The immigration service over there sucks big time. We actually spent almost 2 hours at the immigration. It was a nightmare.
The weather was scorching hot! There's no sign of wind at all!
There were lots of mosquitoes around. Please bring along insect repellent.
The sunrise view is freaking nice.
Disappointment was the snorkeling. The view wasn't as nice as we thought it be.
Food over there were quiet expensive
Massage fare was acceptable
If I didn't remember it wrongly, I guess the entire trip cost me around RM 1200
Highly recommend to stay here for 4 days 3 nights instead of 3 days 2 nights

Welcome 2016

Before I begin with my 2016 resolutions, I would like to share about the highlights and regrets of 2015.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

1. Visited Japan twice!

Still couldn't believe I actually went to Japan twice!

Mount Fuji

Hokkaido King Crab!
Its so juicy and tender! Can I fly back to Hokkaido, now?

2. Off to Kota Kinabalu alone by flight!

What an achievement unlocked for me!

The highlight of the entire trip!

Big thank you to this busy man for being my personal tour guide!

3. Tried out a few sport activities!

Rock Climbing

Jelly arms are what you will get after the session

Jump Street

Pole Fitness

It may look easy but its isn't!

Bruises are what you get from it!

4. Made cheesecake for dad during Father's Day

It wasn't successful but still edible. Every efforts counts, okay ;p

5. Keep up to my exercise routine.
I'm so proud of myself although I always questioned myself why am I doing all these.

6. Health screening
Finally done my first ever health screening in my entire life! Thank god all my readings are good just the usual issue on underweight (slightly underweight only okay, don't try to make a fuss out of it)

7. Wear bikini

Finally have the guts to wear bikini

Will you believe if I tell you this is actually my first time in a bikini?

8. Get invited to a bacholorette party

9. Friendship
Take it easy when it comes to friendship as people comes and goes in our life. Some are meant to stay while some are meant to be a bypasser in your life.

10. Token of appreciation

I hope they appreciate it just like how I appreciate them

Camera, glasses and phone are just the props

11. Credit card
Yes, finally applied one and now my boss can stop complaining about it (lol)

REGRETS OF THE YEAR

1. Ed Shereen's concert!
Seriously, I din know he was in Malaysia! If not, I will go for sure! Ed Shereen, please come to Malaysia again!

2. The Thirst

Disappointed when it got cancelled last minute. Thought I could finally get rid of my virgin visit on a rave party. Well, too bad.

3. Won free tickets to MTV World Stage

Didn't went at last cause I got ffk last minute. I know right, what a waste

4. Missed out Colour Run!
Yes again..

5. Standard Chartered Marathon
The organizer decided to cancelled the run when I decided to join this year (lol). Well. It wasn't their fault, its all because of the haze.

6. Ukelele
Brought it for more than a year and never once I had my hands on to it. Why did I even brought it in the first place.

2016 RESOLUTION

1. Find a new job
I guess its time for a change ;)

2. Get out of my comfort zone by being more independent.
Do it even when I need to do it alone for example, cafe hopping alone, join classes that I'm interested with. Last year, I missed out all these opportunities just because I'm afraid to do it alone.

3. Refurnish my room
Always wanted to do this but first I need cash!

4. Must attend Jay Chou concert this time!
Had been missing out his concert for twice! Can't afford missing it again if not I will regret for life!

5. Hope to know a gym buddy!
As all my friends are lazy ass!

6. Improve on my make up skill
I suppose this was one of my 2015 resolution but still no improvement on my make up skill (lol)! How can I improve when I'm lazy to apply make up!

7. Dog walking

Must keep my promise! As I always gave tons of excuse. I'm such a ~~bad~~ (lazy) owner.

8. Learn how to ride a bicycle
Always wanted to learn how but no one bother teaching me!

9. Blog more!
This is tough but I will try my best to blog more often!

10. Get into a relationship (lol!)
I guess I'm ready to hop on into a new relationship if only "the one" actually appear

Family Trip To Tokyo (26/3 - 30/3)

Yes! Finally I'm willing to update my blog!

Few months back, during March, I went to Japan with my family! Yeap, this time is a family trip. It has been 6 years since our previous family trip to Gold Coast. 6 years ago I'm only 18! (Gosh, time flies!).

I was excited to be there as Japan is one of the country I would like to visit for long! Add on, our travel period was spring! Which means its Sakura Season!! I always wanted to see Sakura in my life!

It was a short trip. We were there for 5D4N whereby 2D1N we spent at Mount Fuji. Turn out, I became the tour leader for my family cause once again I am the one who planned everything, from A-Z. And it was one of tiredest trip I ever been as we walked a lot everyday due to lack of time and too much things to explore!

Things we explore

1. Lake Kawaguchi, Mount Fuji

Advertising for Coca Cola lol

Yeah! Manage to tried their Rainbow Ice Cream even though its only 3 layers but still cost me a bomb

2. Gotemba Premium Outlet

3. Mount Kachi Kachi Ropeway, Mount Fuji

Went all the way up to this spectacular view!

Tried their Mitarashi Dango, Japanese Dumpling
Not my type of snack

Brought this mochi just because it stated sakura flavour lol

Just can't get my eyes off from Mt. Fuji

4. Ueno Park

Crowded

Not fully bloom yet T.T

Regrets: Did not manage to view fully bloom Sakura and also picnic under Sakura trees, like locals did!

5. Ameyoke Shopping Street, Ueno

Snow Crab!

Big fat octopus tentacles!

6. Sensoji Temple, Asakusa

Crowded again..

Regrets: Did not manage to rent kimino and take picture around!

7. Hachiko Statue, Shibuya Station

Too many people queuing, no time to lose so just snap and went off

8. Shibuya Crossing

Its a fun experience!

9. Takeshita Street, Harajuku

Look at the insane crowd...

Wanted to try either Marion Crepe or Angel Hearts. Unfortunately both are extremely long queue so just brought this instead

10. Akihabara

Dreamland for those who love anime, manga etc!

11. Imperial Palace

This is not in our schedule just that Dad wanted to take a look of Tokyo Station then we just random stroll around

Us (Please ignore my ugly face ><)

12. Gundam Giant Statue, Odaiba

This place is damn far away!
Came all the way just to see this zz (My bro wanted)

13. Statue of Liberty, Odaiba

You will see this before the Giant Gundam

Interesting shots that I love personally

Does it looks like Ice Cream to you? xP

Some of the ryuken style hotel will provide pyjamas (known as Night Gown)

At Japan, its all about vending machine

Survived Tokyo's subway sandwich is a must experience in Japan!

My heaven - Snacks Section!

Japanese dog are damn lucky! Look at this stroller!

Regrets: 1. Did not manage to visit Disneyland & Disney Sea!
2. Did not manage to try sushi at Tsukuji Fish Market (queue damn long, they didn't want to wait)

Tips
1. Weather : Even though its Spring, the weather is still cold and dry. So please bring along your jackets and etc.

2. Day Passes Or Pasmo/Suica Card : If you're staying at Tokyo for a couple of days, please opt for their day passes. It will help you save up a lot on transportation.

3. Everywhere Is Crowded: Spring is indeed the best season to visit Japan for cherry blossoming but be prepare with the crowd. Nevertheless where you go, it will be packed with people.

4. Spend Wisely: When you're in Japan, probably you will lose control when you saw their dessert, you'll be like "Just take my money!" or maybe its just me lol.

5. Subway: If you saw this in a subway station means you can actually just press the button and exit. Please don't end up being like us, running towards the doors that opens and wondering why people were staring at you. (thinking back also makes me feel embarrassed)

6. Cross The Road Like A Boss: Yeap seriously you can do so without being alert of the cars on the road as they will automatically stop for you! Damn polite! Unlike at Malaysia, probably you get honk and cursed by the driver.

7. Don't Be Afraid To Ask: Japanese are really helpful. Even though there's language barriers, they will help you out no matter how! I experience once where we were lost when we reached Shinjuku Station, we have no idea where's our hotel. This Japanese guy help us to google, ask the concierge and lead us all the way! Impressive but also felt paiseh.

8. Walking In the Subway Station: Do not stop suddenly when you're walking. You might get scold as they are always rushing.

Conclusion: I will definitely be back and explore more!
