Rombongan Cik Joyah Ke Melaka

Bersempena dengan cuti hujung tahun, keluarga besar Haji Rasdi telah bercuti secara berjemaah ke negeri Melaka.

Percutian ini malangnya tidak disertai oleh Haji Rasdi sendiri kerana beliau lebih gemar bersantai di kampung halaman menjaga kucing yang hampir due date beranaknya. Namun begitu seperti dalam trip yang lain, Opah turut serta untuk mewakili suami beliau.

2 unit apartment 3 bilik terpaksa disewa demi menempatkan keluarga besar yang borderline obese semua anggotanya ini.

Pusat kanak-kanak berkubang pagi dan malam.

Kali terakhir pergi Melaka ialah waktu masih bersekolah. Jadi kagum seketika dengan pembangunan pesat bandar ini. Tahap kebersihan boleh dibanggakan namun perlu improve public transportation sebab musim cuti ramai gila orang woiii nak carik parking macam nak carik jodoh.

Dulu pergi waktu zaman hingusan Dataran Pahlawan tak berapa nak bukak,sekarang siap extend bangunan lagi. Kelas kau maria.

Lepastu dah ada Menara Taming Sari sebelah tu. Wah wah harus jakun dan naik.

Konsep Menara TamingSari ini adalah ala-ala Solero dekat Genting.

Once again Opah conquered her fear of height. Syabas. Actually the best way to enjoy Melaka's scenery is by beca. 30 ringgit for 30 minutes, not that expensive eh? Considering that most of us are fatasses, 30 minit itu mungkin boleh akibatkan hip joint pengayuh beca dislocated.

And most of these beca ada radio, got subwoofer sumore i tell you. To hell with Dondang Sayang, they play Rihanna and LMFAO songs.

-beca Mercedes. anda mampu?

Memandangkan Opah juga tak berapa fit untuk berjalan kaki di area Jonker Walk maka khidmat 7-8 beca terpaksa digunakan untuk mengangkut satu family. Perarakan beca keluarga Haji Rasdi ini menggamit perhatian pelancong untuk mengambil gambar. Justeru memberi feeling Miss Tourism kepada ahli rombongan.

Selain menikmati perasaan like a boss takpayah berjalan kaki, dapat juga mendengar penerangan pengayuh beca tentang historical spots dan tourist attractions seperti makam Hang Jebat dan Masjid Kampung Kling.


Kunjungan ke Melaka tidak sah jika tidak disertai kunjungan ke Medan Ikan Bakar. The one in Umbai is overrated sebab last time pergi tak berapa best. So we went to the one in Serkam, few kilometeres further dari Umbai. Gambar ini diambil selepas ritual melahap besar-besaran.

-4 meja cantum,berekor-ekor ikan,2 kilo udang goreng tepung,2 kilo sotong goreng tepung,kupang,kepah,kerang,ketam,20 bungkus nasi lemak,nasi putih tambah,dan beberapa menu yang lain. *usyar harga treadmill online*

Another attraction ialah Melaka river cruise. The best time untuk naik ialah pada waktu malam.Di samping view yang gorjes, complexion kulit yang sediakala 10 di skala hitam juga dapat diselamatkan dari bahang mentari.

-the historical Kampung Morten

-buildings along the river are decorated with awesome murals

River cruise ini is wayyy better than Venice's gondola ride. Air Venice dahlah bau longkang, harga cekik darah plak tu. Sungai Melaka ni after restoration dah tak berapa ada bau. Lepas tu bot siap pasang lagu-lagu klasik and commentaries as we go along.

Bridge ala-ala Venice pun ada. Suck it, Italy.

All in all, we had a blast. Percutian secara berjemaah begini memang seronok,lebih-lebih lagi takpayah keluar duit lol. Maybe next time boleh ke pulau pula, because i'd like to see Opah in a diving suit. Pasti comel melampau.

Rombongan Cik Kiah Ke Pulau Langkawi

Spent the first week of my holiday at my kampung. And few days in Langkawi with my uncle,his family and Opah. Aaaand also few other mak ciks who work for my uncle. Kinda like a year end kompeni vacation.

Mak Ciks + Langkawi = No beach, just pinggan mangkuk shopping.

There were 13 Mak Ciks, 14 including Opah so its safe to say that this trip is solely for shopping. But we still managed to squeezed in few tourist attractions in between those money spending fiesta.

Last time i went to Langkawi i was around 6-7 years old. So i was pleasantly surprised dengan pembangunan pesat pulau peranginan ini. But there's this one little problem;


Yep,that is the famous Dataran Lang at night. The lampu around this place were not working. So with that little amount of spotlight left you could easily mistaken that helang for a giant chicken. According to one of the shopowner at that area, majlis daerah tengah buat wiring. And this wiring has been going on since raya. Im guessing these people doing the wiring are melayu.

We also went to the cable car ride. It's a highest cable car ride in Asia or something, so this holiday season expect hundreds of people queuing up for this one.



Opah has never been on any cable car her entire life, and she's quite afraid of height.

Siap keluar tisu lap airmata haha. At one point she prayed out " ya Allah selamatkanlah anak cucuku" hahahahaha. Drama queen much? -__-" Doa suruh selamatkan anak cucu padahal dia yang takut lebih tehee.




Among other places that we went to ialah Galeri Perdana. Still the same after all these years. Just exhibition of stuff that people/other gomen gave to Mahathir during his years as PM. Some of the stuff are quite awesome,some i think are stored there just because Tun Hasmah couldnt find any empty shelf at their home.

- a horse carriage from the Argentinian government

Collection of dolls pemberian the more cheapskate governments;



Random fact: do you know that now you have to pay 5 ringgit to enter Makam Mahsuri? I didnt know this at first but wow this place has changed a lot.


Despite having to pay 5 ringgit, you still have to pay extra 30sen to use their toilet. Dahlah toilet kotor gilak bayar 30sen tu tak tau lah ke mana hala nya.

On the first day of shopping spree we went to Idaman Suri, a huge mall selling stuff that only can be appreciated by Surirumah. Hence the name of the mall. Those makciks went crayyyyyzeyyy. They're like a bunch of fat kids in a candy shop.

Opah was no exception.This is her,trying to rationalize her purchase of 3 sudips.


And yos truli was her PA for that day,carrying her shopping basket while she went oohh ahhh over some frying pan and kuali steam.



On the second day of shopping spree;



At the end of the day all the makciks datang dengan satu beg, pulang dengan satu gedung barang perkakas dapur.

Minggu-Minggu Hell Dalam Hidup

Sejak dari zaman Intec hinggalah waktu menuntut di Dublin, acapkali ketika musim peperiksaan kamar tidur akan secara automatik bertukar menjadi seperti tempat babi hutan berhibernasi. But this time around, tiada lagi kekusutan dalam kamus hidupku.

Entah kenapa roh Eric Leong merasuki diri tiba-tiba nak transform bilik jadi feeling resort. Kau mampu? Cantimnyewwwwwwww (baca dengan tajwid Eric Leong)

Langkah pertama haruslah beli scented candle jenama Tesco untuk memberi efek aromaterapi. Kemudian beli fresh flower 3 ringgit dari gerai india tepi jalan sebelah Shell.

Ini hasilnya;

Sebuah makeover perasan resort tidak lengkap tanpa elemen air ataupun water feature. Jadi dengan gigih angkat aquarium kura-kura yang seberat seekor anak sapi untuk diletak di dalam bilik.

Bukan saja dapat menikmati bunyi deruan air pam tahi kura-kura, bahkan dapat saksikan aksi kura-kura genit ini panjat memanjat batang kayu.

Tetapi sure enough, keadaan bilik kembali kepada fitrahnya yang buruk selepas beberapa minggu teheee. Tak dapek la nak beli bunga tiap minggu woi baik beli nasik lemak 3 ringgit.

Lepas exam, seleberet adalah dengan menonton wayang cerita Puss in Boots. We got out of the cinema around 11 ish pm. Lantas menuju ke Delicious untuk late night dessert.

But when we got there, they are closing down oredy. Jadi cuma boleh tapau dan makan di luar menghadap laut ;')

Tahukah anda hanya tambah 2 ringgit,anda dapat bawa balik gelas kaca berisi Black Forest cake itu? Ya tak perlu ke Mydin untuk dapatkan gelas murah.

We spent hours talking about the future and whatnot. The possibility to end up being foreveralone, berangan nak beli mansion dekat selatan England dan macam-macam lagi. You know, stuff that losers like us usually talked about T_T.

So basically that's it. That's what has been going on in my life this past few days when i temporarily disappear from the blogosphere. (macam ada orang tanya kan??)
