Cak Cak!

Salam and hi all..

again and again, it's been a long hiatus of update, see... what a 'busy' me. hehe. i know some of u must be waiting for my progress of Atkins rite? hurmm.. it goes well at the beginning, but i did spoil the diet when it comes to Weekend! aiyakk! it's been a BIG challenge to ATKINS during saturday and sunday, due to the weekends is Jalan2 and melawat mak ayah day - kat sana, macam2 makanan menanti.. penat mak mertua masak, tak makan karang kecik hati. so terpaksa la saya ngap! (alasan tak tahan dugaan sebenarnya).

anyway, my first target to achieve at least 50kg within 2 weeks was almost successful. I started the 2 Weeks Induction on 09/01/2012 with 52.5kg and supposed to be ended on 23/01/2012. However, my last record shown a progress of 50.2kg on 21/01/2012. which mean, on the day 12, i have lost 2.3kg! i think it was a big success rite? With 10days fully ATKINS during weekdays and ON/OFF during weekend, i managed to lost 2.3kg. kalau sebulan?? leh buat kiraan sendiri :)

but then, i can't focus more on ATKINS as the end of 2 weeks was fully with Public holiday like CNY, Federal Territory, Maulud Nabi, Thaipusam.. and the most big day for me that i am dying for - for the whole end of January was: preparation for my Rania's 1st Birthday Party! yeahh, me and hubby was very very buzy for the preparation. if possible, i want to make eveything by my own, for decorations, doorgift, foods and so many things was in our plan.

I can't express how "disaster" we were for the preparation - balik keje je, berkejar sana sini, went for survey and buy things like stationaries - survey for magnets, paper board, cutter, yg ada floral shapes... and did bz GOOGL-ing here and there. when it comes to weekend lak, usung Nia kesana kemari. sampai penat dia sehari suntuk ikut kami memborong barang2.. 

opss, it's already 9:40am, time to work - can't update much - only to jot down that that we just back from our vacation at PD (je....) yesterday, using GROUPON voucher.

got to go now and will update more stories - especially on Rania's Birthday party ;)

Jalan2 Melaka

Plan dengan Ana pergi bercuti ke Melaka sempena minggu cuti Awal Muharram. Ana dah book apartment 2bilik kat Mahkota Hotel pada 26/11 (Sabtu) - 27/11/2011 (Ahad).

Kami bertolak dari KL agak lewat tengahhari dan traffic sepanjang Highway PLUS agak lancar. Tapi sebaik saja kami exit Tol Air Keroh, traffic was very2 bad. Bayangkan it tooks us almost 2 and 1/2 hours to reach Banda Hilir. Dah sampai Bandar Hilir, nk pusing town ke hotel pun satu hal.. mmg bumper-to-bumper. Mungkin disebabkan cuti sekolah, and long weekend pula since Monday is a PH due to Awal Muharram jatuh hari Ahad.

 yeeeeaaa.. dah sampai hotel, kena tunggu auntie ana sebab voucher hotel kat dia.. 

:)

 posing kejap dengan mommy..nia lum leh jalan sendiri

 dinner kat Umbai (baru).. antara menu wajib.. ketam masak chili!!

Our initial plan was, kalau dah sampai Melaka, mesti la nak naik beca kan. Then nk pergi tempat2 seperti Jonker Walks. Mesti seronok kan dapat pusing town naik beca dengan sikecik. Sebab tu kalau ke Melaka, we prefer to stay at town so banyak aktiviti boleh buat.

 

ishhh.. jem pulak.. napa tak gerak2 ni...

 mommy... kita balik la ye, nia tak dapat parking..

 

Unfortunately, langit tak selalu cerah... memang pun. the moment we checked-out from hotel on Sunday afternoon, hujan turun sangat lebat. bila dah lebat macam tu, traffic lagi la.. sangatttt la tak bergerak langsung! We ended with spent our time for 3 hours pusing2 dalam kereta saja. All parking was fulled! dah petang sikit, baru dapat masuk parking kat Century Mahkota yg betul2 berdepan dengan Mahkota hotel. pergi lepak kat McD sebab dah tersangat lapar.

But before that, sementara pusing2 nk cari parking tu, sempat singgah kat Nadeje, utk beli the famous crepe cakes. As expected, masuk je kedai mmg penuh dengan orang. Ini kali ke-2 sy kesini, cuma masa nk order, kena pastikan cake yg kita nak tu takde alkohol coz some of the cake (actually most of the cake) mmg ada alkohol.

the crepe cakes... so so delicious!!

lepas makan, terus gerak balik KL. Nampak gaya, naik beca lain kali je la..

Cherating's Trip

As planned earlier, we drove to Cherating on Sunday morning and reached there at 2pm after getting lost in Kuantan town. We seek an assistance from our GPS but seems it's not helping at all. Salah siapa la ye..? huhu..

We stayed at Legend Hotel Cherating - the hotel was chosen based on the camparison of hotels in the Cherating area via Cuti.

I was fully satisfied with the place. The location was good as it's located on the new Cherating Beach. The pool was big and clean and is next to the beach. The best things was, the beach is clean too! Very clean! 

Our room was on the new wing and it's quite big and clean. Although we have to wait for about 45minutes before we can check-in into our room due to peak season on the day before, but I'm not too fussed about it as me and Mr. B had our welcome photoshoot session at the beach. hehe.... Haruslah kan... *wink*


On the evening, we went to Pantai Cherating Lama which is not too far from our hotel.. there is a road leading to the beach and doted by budget accommodation and chalets. I was so hungry at that time so there were cafes/bistros/stall and restaurants. We had goreng pisang, keropok lekor and air kelapa coz we plan to have dinner at one of the restaurant - Intan Seafood.


Overall - i luv our vacation and Cherating! Plan to come back here one day, and hopefully by the time, it's not only just the two of us... Amin...
