BACKDATE
There is so much to update but somehow, I just haven't had the mood, what more the time to really sit down and blog. But let's turn time back today to the long CNY break. Two vios (or vioses?) made their way to Gunung Ledang Resort for a 3D2N stay.
It was a last minute choice of destination but still a nice change from the usual 'Melaka or KL' option. Although we set off as early as 6am, we only managed to reached our destination at noon and by then, the place was already infested with many locals who practically covered every space available with their mats and baskets of mee hoon goreng, nasi lemak and keropoks. It was really crowded I tell you.
Therefore, we decided to make the unescapable drive up to Melaka to pass the day. Mahkota Parade was our one-stop destination for Kenny Rogers, bowling and minimal shopping (and I really mean minimal here). We really had fun during the friendly match between the Roslan and Ridzuan company. Wak Wan really deserved the Star Player Award. By the way, Wak Wan is my father's elder brother. It was his first time playing the game yet he improved from being an LSP (Learning Support Player) to a gifted player. He was slamming the ball onto the floor and aiming for the longkang initially but was soon making his continuous strikes. We really had a good laugh.
Having to miss the waterfall on the first morning, we woke up early the next day for breakfast and started our hike up to the highest possible waterfall point. It was only about 900 feet high but it was definitely a good morning exercise. Everyone made the hike including Mak! The panting and huffing was all worth it when we managed to soak ourselves in the cool refreshing water. And the water was definitely purer and cleaner than down below.
The afternoon saw us gracing the CNY celebration by visiting abah's Chinese ex-colleague at Segamat (I think) and then to an ex- neighbour's house at Melaka. And the highlight of the day was definitely the short but satisfying stopover for durians!
We made another hike for the waterfall again the next morning before we set off for Sunny Singapore. But of course no trip would be complete without seafood. So we ended the trip with a good meal at Senibong. But so sad, there was no gong gong that day. But I was contented enough with the crabs and prawns.
PS: So Azi and Fadhil, on tak tengok PS I love You malam ni? Jangan bubble ah? Or else I'll end up eating the both of you up!
