Green Party 3.0

I know it's been ages since i last updated my blog. And again i apologize...
It's not that i have nothing to share anymore but more like i have too many things and too little time. Anyway, I thought i would share about my latest weekend trip away from the city to Pangkor island.

The capoeira group was hired by the Green Team KL for their 3rd outing for a weekend away party.. This time at the beach on Pangkor Island.

We had to be at KL sentral at 930AM where the bus would pick the passengers up and the capoeira team had our own van.As usual with late arrivals and some issues the bus company was giving us we only started moving at 10:45AM. Moving less than 30 mins later the timing belt of the bus snapped and there we were.. stuck somewhere near batu caves all waiting and people began to get irritated and annoyed with the situation.
And fortunately enough (for the bus and the people there), our van driver was a bus mechanic! So we all had to stop at the roadside while the guy started to fix the engine...
We all waited with still a good mood :) trying to keep happy and no stress.
Chilling at the road side while watching all the cars starting to pile up causing a massive jam.
Some even started a small picture and some just chilled. Some were irritated and started questioning none stop while others took a walk to the nearest mamak for coffee.
The journey only started again at 12:30pm with no air-conditioning in the bus... ALL THE WAY to LUMUT!!! Thank god our van's air conditioning was working.
We managed to arrived the port to catch the last ferry to the island - 5PM!
Prof Pimbal was still in a good mood playing music on the boat and singing along with everyone
The team was tired due to the Sauna bus ride...
When arriving the port, it reminded me so much of Port Klang, 10 years ago.
The party started the minute we arrived with food waiting for us (our lunch) and people started drinking already.

The night continued with major cultural shock for us.. well some of us. As being in Malaysia we would not really see the scene that happened as the night continues.

There were girls picking up guys, guys picking up girls... 80% of the place was drunk and dancing and partying non stop. It seemed like everyone was very focused with one mission.. getting laid. The only people few that went there with no motives seemed to be the french team, most of the capoeira people and 1 or 2 people. Everyone else was getting the grove on.

The capoeira performance was awesome with drunk people around clapping and singing and joining in the samba. Laughing non stop and shaking our ass and moving the night away with live brasillian music!

All in all, we all had fun, just condition of the rooms werent as attractive and the food wasn't as tasty. everything else was fun.. just different.
Everyone lining up for food, drinks, keropok... everything!
Everyone was dancing as though they were friends for years! even though they just met!
It was fun to bond with the capoeira group!
And also of course my dear sisters...
my girls...
And le French men! :)

It was an awesome trip.. all in all.. if it didn't rain all the time, my camera broke down, the bus broke down, the delays and the ughhh... food and rooms! :)

Whole purpose was to get up to the highest floor of the Eureka Towers and get on the edge. The edge is a box where it will pop out of the building and you can see all the way down.....

Melbourne 2010 - day 1

It's been 16 years since I last travelled with mom. I remembered the last time I travelled with mom I was 11 and we went to Medan, indonesia with the lions club from Penang. That was the day I hit puberty...on the plane! Scary experience!

This time around thanks to air Asia we managed to get super
cheap fares to Melbourne to visit grandma, aunts and cousins. So mom agreed on randomly purchasing the tickets beginning of this year and here we are now.. On the plane on our way to Melbourne



The 8 hour flight gave us a chance to bond and catch up! Mom even did a numerology reading for me!!

Arriving at midnight, uncle John was very sweet to pick us up and by the time we got home it was already very late. The next morning, I thought a run at the park next to the house would be good. I was wrong! It froze my ass off!!



After, mom got ready and we were off to the city by train with aunt peggy

Aunt peggy's place was beautiful...here are some pictures of the place













Train ride was fun








Sister catching up :) while on the way to town..

On Swanston street some pictures :)









The cutie there was being cheeky posing but I snapped only after he turned away.


Met up with uncle Jimmy fong and his wife Julie for a drink





And dinner was in Chinatown

Day 2-6 will be posted when I'm back in Malaysia
