Advice : If ever you go for vacations, BRING SWIMSUITS even though you might not use it.

Seriously, I have been craving for a swim for so long now just I have no time to do so. And when the oppurtunity falls right in front of me, I just had to not be with my swimsuit. So all I did was watched cousin Amy and cousin Amar swam while chatting with my aunt. She's pretty cool really.

Uncle Ayah was ready to give me his shorts so I could have a swim. It was too weird. After swimming hour ended, we had breakfast at the hotel. The food there were pretty good seriously! I had omelettes, potato salad and porridge. YUM!!! We were pretty late when we went to our rooms because we were suppose to meet up with the group at a store but we ended up being too late that by the time we got to the first store called DSE Outlet, they lot are already leaving. I was so bummed but my mom said there weren't anything nice so that was OKAY!

We made our way to the second store which is called Oasis. Damn that shop was.. BIG! Let me explain. I walk in the store, theres a room on the left, on the right and on the front. So I took the front. And the next room, there's a room on the left, right and straight. So I went straight. And there's a room on the right and straight. So I took straight. And there's a left turn and striaght. I took straight. And there were a room on the left and one on the right. MY GOD!!

I was starting to think I was lost. I saw my cousin and I immediately sticked with her. I can't afford to be stuck at one place. The end of the shop was more for teenage girls so I spend most of my time there. I ended up with nothing because seriously, IT WAS UGLY!! Not all of course but I don't think my Grandma agrees for me to buy short plaited skirt.

Ayah offered to buy me a Harley wallet but like, whats the point right? Better not buy something I don't like, rather than accepting it as a gift and never use it. All of them are ugly by the way.

So after there is done, we went to this shop called Heritage.THIS SHOP SUCKED!! Not one single thing in there is nice. Except for a few skirts The place was awfully crowded and cramp. It was hot, it was strict and its just bad. I spent about 20/30 minutes in there and walked straight out. Though there was this brand called Fred and Bernard. It was funny. I spent about an hour outside the shop where there was this little cafe. And it was SO DAMN HOT!!! And I got so restless. Yishk! It was a bad period of time.

Later we went for lunch to this shop called Parayanga. The food there wasn't all that nice, and it was BAD SERVICE!! We didn't even get some of our orders. And I was tired and hot, how can I not get pissed off. And the restaurant was so called, THE GOOD ONE!!

After that is done, all of us made our way to the hotel. There were 3 rooms. The girl's room, Ayah and Ibu's room and the family room. So in the evening, me and my girls hunged out in our room, while Ayah and Ibu in their's and the rest of the gang in the family room.

Later on, the kids went for swimming while all the adults followed. AND CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!! The women went to the SPA without even inviting us. The 4 of us were watching crummy movies such as Beever or like that (though the kid is so cute), and mumbling on how pissed we were that we didn't get to go to the Spa. But all of us were bonding. We were jumping on the beds, screaming, and falling of on each other, talking bout bodies and makeup. Weird but fun.

Turned out that the women didn't go to the Spa. They were just having drinks at the cafe. Whoops. But it was a tiring day. When it was time for dinner, all of us got ready.

note : I had to wear the same outfit for 2 DAYS STRAIGHT. I wore my jeans and my top when that day I went to sleep at the hotel. Later I brought my home outfit and a pair of outfit for dinner and the next day. Turned out I didn't even get to go back to the house to change another pai of clothes. 2 DAYS WITH THE OUTFIT. It was bad!!

When we were choosing our restaurant, it wasn't all that easy. The grown-ups were like 'Kat mana yang belom pergi, kat sini tak boleh, kedai tuh tadi tuh?' And all of us were ' we're hungry, we're hungry, we're hungry'. well I was.

We ended up having dinner at the hotel restaurant. We set up the table at the patio. A whole lot of table put together. The food was good. It was buffet and the menu was western. IMagine, baked potatoes with cheese, pastas, garlic potatoes, and barbeque beef. WITH NACHOS! It was GOOD!!! We had a fun dinner. There were a group of 3 performing that night. A singing lady, a guitar playing dude, and a violin playing guy. I kept eyeing on the guitar longing to play it. I was staring. HONESTLY.

When all of us were almost done, my Pak Ngah was going on and on about how he would just walk up on stage and sing. And we all challenged him. What he said was that, go tell the people on stage and I will sing. So when I actually called up the waiter and requested my Pak Ngah to sing, without his knowledge, he had the shock of his life.

What the waiter did was, he walked up to the mike, and called out my Pak Ngah and introduced him to play. My Pak Ngah was blushing and all of us were clapping and cheering. I had a big shock too when he actually got up and went to the stage singing. We were all wow-ed by him. Something we never thought he'd do kind of thing you know. It was great. Though od knows what song he sang, he sounded.. GOOD!!

At this point I was craving for the guitar. I told my 7 year old cousin that i really wanted to sing, and he just ran up to stage and requested me to sing. I was like.. WHAT!!! They pulled me to the stage and how much embarrassing it was, I actually wanted to do it. But instead, I grabbed the guitar, sit in front of the table my fmaily were, and actually played them something. I duet-ed with my cousin Amy the Wonderwall song. The grown-ups dind't know what song it was but I got cheered for it. Then my sister join in for the Kiss Me song. We also played Kau Ilhamku. It was so much fun to be performing in front of people. The feeling is really great.

And after its done, I satistfied myself and gone to bed with a huge smile and a happy day.
