Sloggi launched its LOVE WORLD ♥ campaign with its partners, trees and the forestry department of selangor. I attended the media launch that morning.

7, together with the other bloggers, I went for a short jungle trail walk organized by LOVE SLOGGI, LOVE WORLD at Sungai Tekala Recreational Park.

I have been there once, for a photoshoot. I love the waterfall, it’s so pretty!

But I had discovered the real beauty of the park, — the rainforest.
look at the beautiful luscious green trees. ♥

We have been taking them for granted all these while, no?

The last time I am this close to the mother nature was 3 years ago during a hiking event at Bukit Gasing. It’s good to be back and enjoy the peacefulness of the nature surrounding us.

Mind my inappropriate dressing, wasn’t home the day before, so yea.
it isn’t easy to walk around with shorts and slipper as it was extremely slippery and there were mosquitoes everywhere.

Thank God, the fellow mosquitoes had mercy on me that day.
I went out w/o a single bite.

hiking and walking trails throughout the park.

paused and rest under the shade.

I somehow like listening to the constant crackling of the dry forgotten leaves as we walked along the jungle trail. ♥

our guide told us that trees will actually die, just like human being does.

I asked, “what happens when the tree dies?”
he answered, “the tree falls on it’s own when it dies.”

but, it keeps me wonder till now, do they fall catastrophically or do they fall gently? *pondering

Next, we did something together for the environment.
yes, we planted trees!

it was my first tree planting experience, & it was awesome!

refilling the hole with soil.
this is not as easy it looks, peepos!

it requires a hell lot of energy!

my tree!
oh, can I have this tree named after me? *winkkk

TADAHHHH!

I’ve showed my love to the environment, how about you?

If you are a follower of my twitter ♥, you should have seen something like this..

Well, I was on my 7 days challenge, pledging my own way to save the rainforest over 7 days. It was all good. Eventhough the things I did for the past 7 days seem small, but over time the small things can add up to one great deed.

#1 I use my Starbucks tumbler everyday for my fav. caramel frappucino w/ extra caramel drizzle instead of using those plastic cups. Saving the world like this, you will be rewarded by getting a rm2 discount from Starbucks. ♥

#2 printed notes of both side of the paper, save paper, save trees!

#3 No plastic bag day. I put all my purchases into my shopping bags instead during shopping today.

#4 Use my own pretty tupperware to take away my mom’s home cook food. Healthier and, at the same time, save the world.

#5 bought recycled paper from the bookshop for jotting down notes. Start using recycled paper, it’s the trend now!

#6 i turn off the shower while lathering soap. Also, I now take a shorter shower, from 1hr I cut it down to thirty minutes *thumbsup

#7 I switch off the lights before I go to bed. **overcoming the fear of sleeping in dark.

All these little little things may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help to save the world. Let’s do this together, all that’s required is a small change in your daily habits.

CHEERS! ♥

Location : Sunset Bay Bistro, Batu Ferrigghi
If you come from Georgetown, the hotel should be on your right. Turn in at the first junction right after the hotel, then, turn left. Sunset Bistro should be on your right.

we reached there on bout 6p.m.
Like what its name suggests, i was told that this is a great place to watch the sun set over the water.

ordered drinks (coconut, chilled beer & sex on the beach) and some finger food to noms while waiting for the sun to set. the food is good, the price is reasonable too. Totally worth it with it’s ambiance and all.

Food: 7/10
Ambience: 9/10
Music: 8/10

intimacy ♥

photos time.
photography credits to SC.

sunset.

watching the sun in all its shimmering glory, sink slowly behind the horizon with your love one is definitely an unforgetable experience.

♥ ♥ ♥

日落是一天中最美的时刻， 但它消失的太快了，
更让我深切地体會到夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏之意。

只愿我有小叮當的神奇法寶，能把一切美好時光給鎖住。

& this is the bistro, decorated prettily with heaps of colorful lightings.

dim candlelight with soft background music made an awesome combination. ♥
their satay that tastes more like chicken kebab though. heh!

True enough, the breath-taking scenery is gone is such a short time.
but in a happier note, i shall be thankful that God end our day so beautifully. ♥

cheers. ♥

p.s. – Thanks Baby Von for recommending Sunset Bay Bistro, Batu Ferriggh. It’s simply mind-blowing.

Went back to the hotel after beach.
Got our self cleaned up and changed before we are out hunting for food again.

i have been eye-ing on maxi dresses ♥ for quite a long time, it’s always either too long for my height or it’s too expensive. But but but, I finally found one a day before my penang trip, the length was alright even though i am high-heels-less, the cutting was alright too, and, the price is only rm39.90!  *bigwidesmile

Oh, boyfriend bought this maxi for me.
*lovessssssssssssss ♥

Seriously, what I love most in TuneHotel is their mirrorS and lighting that is so perfect for camwhore purpose!

Then, it’s time for FOOD again!
thought of having something lighter, so we went for ROJAK and ICEKACANG with FRUITS @…

SIN SEI KAI
Lorong Swattow,
10500 Penang.

ICEKACANG with FRUITS ♥
RM4 with 6 types of fruits. *slurrpsss
sweet things are always my favorite.

ROJAK

They also ordered OTAK OTAK. I never like OTAK OTAK.
& this one somehow looks like baby hershey’s poop. -.-

Next destination was KEK LOK SHI.

Trying to imitate ‘em kao kao.
shhsshhh, i know i am a poser.

& this lion thingy seems like asking me to stop annoying him. ugh.

that’s him posed for me straight when I point my camera at him. heh!!

& this looks so much like…

“will you go far far far far away with me?”
“far far far far far far far away? *bigwateryeyes?” ♥ ♥ ♥

hahahahahaha!

*p.s. – never know my hair is already that long, wootss!

the happy girl with her “trafficlight” ice cream!

my favorite photo among all! ♥
the blue blue sky is just too pretty, & my baby G10 seriously amazed me. *smile

human went cuckoo! heh!
there’s bears, minnie mickey mouse, & a cute pig!

that’s all for this time.
next post will be a sunset post at Sunset Bay Bistro. ♥

cheers. ♥

The second day at Penang was beach day! We spent almost the entire day at beach.
I was pretty excited bout it, woke up 6 in the morning, and started to get ready!

one vain shot. heh!

I forced the half-asleep boyfriend to join me.
look at his puffy eyes, so cute!

*got all ready up

more vain shots.
blame the mirrorS for tempting me.

Penang people are as lazy as Subang people, they are probably still all asleep when we’re up hunting for food. all shops were still closed, so, we randomly stopped by at some kopitiam for breakfast.

sadly, MILOAIS happened to be the best among all. -.-

Then, off we head to BATU FERRINGHI. ♥
Thankiew Mr.GPS!

The beach was quite empty.

& we actually got “persuaded” to go on a banana boat for 15minutes with the price of rm15 each.
that guy said it’s morning, that’s why he gave us a morning discount, as it supposed to be rm20 each.

i then wonder, if there’s also noon discount or night discount. hmmm.

us, before “boating”. heh!

the girls. ♥

it’s was quite a great experience, &  i thought i had just lost a few pounds.
as it seems like i was so freaking light because i actually got blew off for a few times, ern, yea.

got all wet.
still, we had fun.

sun bath for awhile with the intention to dry up faster. lol.
& then, started snapping vain pics again.

ok la, i know you spot my fats already.
but, I am in penang, food heaven, couldn’t help! *trying hard to find excuse, ahem!

feeling the morning breeze.
exposing myself fully to the sunlight! ♥

I love beach so much to an extent that I placed BORABORA in my dream list, and told the boyfriend it will be good best if we can go to BORABORA for honey moon next time. Imma explore the most romantic island in the world! The crystal clear water is just irresistible; ahhhhhh! I want to go diving there!

Sadly, Penang beach isn’t blue, it’s rather greenish.
*point at the background

Nevermind, i shall go Jet Ski-ing!  ♥

Realize the change in my position? heh!
I am never a good driver, not even in controlling the Jet Ski. FML.

This is what they did while boyfriend and I were jet-ski-ing.
Guess it’s pretty true that vain people will usually have vain friends, it’s an aura. woots!

oh yes, this is the exact expression shown by SC.

more photos after jet ski.

the friends forever pose, spot the matching yellow bottoms! ♥

I love this photos, because it somewhat make me looks like i have got long legs!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

playing around with shadows.

baby-ku. ♥

we brought kites along.
yes, we are going to fly kites!

fixing fixing fixing.

baby boyfriend flying…

…kites.

oh, we have no blue sea, but at least, there’s till blue blue sky. ♥

that’s all for now!

cheers. ♥

Rushed down to Kampar & got all the way back to KL again this morning, just to attend a 10 mins consultation session. *geram. My adviser insisted that he has to see me first before he could help me to update my student profile, otherwise, I would not be able to register for next semester. How “kind” of him? How much I wish my adviser to be someone else, for instant, mel’s and shas’s advisers. At least, save them from all these craps, theirs are done just through a an email. ugh!

Thanks, mom for fetching me. and the lil sister for accompanying. They somehow have the abilities to make thing seems to be “not-so-bad”. Happy to say, the journey was quite fun with both of them, it was full with laughter.

There’s lightning and thunder when we reached home, but ironically, no rain.
at the same time, Elton text me, and ask for out for photoshooting.

It was sort of drizzling when he picked me up. I prayed to Lord that it wouldn’t rain.
& Amen Lord, it really didn’t rain. The weather was amazing. Not sunny, but bright enough.

this is the first outdoor photo shoot session that I did not sweat throughout the whole thing. awesome!

elton teo, we had a stress free photo shooting session.
as in like, I was basically jumping and playing around while he did the shooting.

never had so much fun doing it.

some of the spot that where we did the photoshooting:
you may start guessing where I did my photo shoot.

&  sneak peek, taken by Elton using my baby G10. ♥

I can’t wait to get all those photo shoot photos from him! ♥
but he has got so much work to do, maybe I should bribe him with my oh-so-cute smile.

teehee!

It was Hari Raya Haji, a public holiday, which means no class. The boyfriend came to pay me a visit, have got no plan, but we didn’t want to spend our day rotting at home. & so, together with another couple, we went to Sungkai Klah Hot Spring. It was a sunny day, and we went to hot spring, how brilliant? ha. & I almost got sun burn. :s

Didn’t bring my camera with me, cause I just want to have fun.
however, still capture a few photos using my lousy handphone camera.

bii’s and mine.
thereupatic park’s water reflexology.

a photo of us.

and one photo of them, sueaen and shas fung.
shas trying hard to cover up his fat belly. hee!

after that, we went to a famous restaurant at Bidor to have our lunch.
I have forgotten the name of the restaurant, but, it’s hell damm crowded.

duck mee, anyone?
duck mee was just alright, but well, they are famous for their wan tan mee.

had a little rest after that.

*ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz*

at night, met up with shas again at Ipoh, and we went to have very good seafood for dinner.

* I am having terrible ulcer that time, but i didn’t care much *
i thought good food is more important than anything.

we went to this restaurant which is really famous with their seafood at Ipoh’s old town.

didn’t see any signboard of the restaurant.
saw only this half gone small banner with “nan guo xiao shi” written on it.

guess, that’s the name of the restaurant.

okay. foods…

ham dam hai, salted egg crab. my fav!
I find the sweetness of the crab meat with the saltiness of the salted egg to be the best combination.

& this is probably the best salted egg crab i ever had! it’s simple awesome!

also, we had deep fried sotong.
this is another finger licking good one, i just couldn’t have enough of it!

next was, lala soup.
hearts the lala, but the wine ginger soup is a lil too spicy for me.

i can’t take spicy food, and they say I am not qualify to be a Malaysian. @.@

wat tan hor.
the thick egg gravy caught my hearts. slurrpppsss!

this looks like hokkien mee to me, but they call this “dai tiu min”/”da tiao mian”
it’s delightful, of course.

I had one big bowl of this!

i love chicken wings, yes, i do.
the boyfriend ordered this, just for me.

this might not be the best chicken wings i had, but it’s good enough to satisfy me.

everyone was so busy eating, and have not time for photo.

after making sure that i had already satisfied my stomach,
with my crab smelled hand, i took out my camera….

& started flashing all around.

the boyfriend. ^^

shas & sueean, again.

the meal was real satisfying.
all of us love it, and the cleaned plate is the prove.

thanks shas, for recommending this place. *lovesssss

&, my ulcer, gone case.
after stuffing myself with fruits and vitamin C for days, it doesn’t seems to be recovering.
in fact, it got even worst after the meal.

p.s. – it has been so for more than a week.

boyfriend that brought me to the doctor, doctor apply some sort of acid on it. it was so painful that I was literally screaming with tears in my eyes. the doctor said my condition was kinda bad. & boyfriend told me he saw blood and pus coming out from the wound when the doctor apply the medicine.

& this is how it looks like now, it’s drying already. thanks, God.

that’s all for now. cheers.

For Introduction to Advertising assignment, my group is chosen to do an advertising research & a consumer research for Felda Sungkai Klah. & so, we went to visit Felda Sungkai Klah for the very first time in order to complete our assignment.

It’s a monday, after our communicative engliah class we went there straight.
It took us about 45 mins to reach there from Kampar. The distance of Sungkai Klah hot spring from Sungkai exit toll is about 10km. Entrance fee is RM10 for adult and RM8 for children between 3 to 11 years old. As for us, we went in for free, thanks to Ms. Farlina’s approval letter. *bigwidesmile*

Shas, Andrew & Minyee became the interviewers of the day;
while Melanie became the secretary of the day;
& last but not least, me, as the photographer of the day.

We were brought to have a look at the fully equipped and comfortable villas & also the lower budget chalet rooms.

Villa A type – 2 rooms and costs RM600/night during weekdays and RM800/night during weekend, school holidays and public holidays.
Villa B type – 1 room and costs RM450/night during weekdays and RM600/night during weekend, school holidays and public holidays.
Villa C type- 3 rooms and costs RM800/night during weekdays and RM1000/night during weekend, school holidays and public holidays.
Oh yea, did I mentioned that the villas have their very own private Jacuzzi, a totally awesome way to enjoy a relaxing bathe with family.

While the Chalet Standard Deluxe Rooms would cost RM180/night and RM220/night on weekends, school holidays and public holidays.

While we were waiting for Encik Wan, the interviewee, we walked around the resort & saw there’s a few people eating durians over there. Minyee & Andrew went to interview the customer who was eating durian over there.

and for the rest of us, Shas said we have to learn to be more thick skin. So yea, 3 of us, shas, mel & me went to join them makan durian sama sama.

couldn’t blame us, Durian is irresistable. yea.

Finally when the clock struck three, Encik Wan, the landscrapper arrived.

Had a short interview session with him, and found out that not far from the resort, there are several private industries that provide activities such as flying fox, jungle trekking, and stream trotting. There are also “orang asli” heritage houses not far from the resort.

Right after the interview session ends, we went to the Hot Spring Pool. It’s drizzling when we reach there, as such, it’s really comfortable to sunk your entire body into the warm water.

our interviewing job never stop. =)

still, we all had fun.

the girls in the group.

Besides, the another main attraction for the hot spring is none other than the small boiling hot spring which reaches the temperature of 100 celcius which people use to boil eggs.

You could buy the egg from the cafeteria at the price of rm2 for 5.

we bought 5, and is just enough for 5 of us. awesome.

1/4 boiled – 2 mins
1/2 boiled – 3 mins
3/4 boiled – 4 mins
fully boiled – 6-7 mins

We later on move on to the thereupatic park.

The park has several hot spring pool at different degrees of temperature.
The one that I remember best is the water reflexology which visitors can walk barefoot along the tarmac walkway that is covered with streams of hot water and reflexology stones to maximize the effort of the therapy. I seriously have no idea why people loves it so much. To me, it’s more like torturing me.

I prefer the pool beside the walkway that allow us to dip our leg or full body in it.
I feel like I am being boiled at first, but later on it’s pretty comfortable.

Shas sunk his whole body in and after that he claims that his neck sprain problems is cure which amazed me much. I always heard people say that natural hot spring has healing properties, and now i see how true it is.

me legs turn red when I got up from the pool.

Last stop, the Mountain Spring Pool inside the hot spring park.  It source of water is the mountain spring water. It was said and supposed to be cold, but, on that day i went, it’s rather warm.

Still, I enjoyed much, because…
There’s this gigiantic slide in the middle of the pool.

You people might think, still small meh? play slides?
That’s what I thought in the first place. But right after my 1st attempt, I got addicted.
yes, it’s fun especially if you have a whole group of people slide down together.

Also, there’s this waterfall splash somewhere beside the huge octopus that act as OSIM. yea, the messaging chair/machine? we stood under it for quite awhile and enjoyed the pleasant of getting free water massage. *what to do, we failed to get free spa.*

After that, we went to shower and continue our interview session for awhile. Just when we concluded everything, out stomach started to make noise. Planned to go to Bidor for dinner, turned around at Bidor, and in the end, ended up having our dinner at Lou Wong, Ipoh.

It’s much nicer than the last time I went, or is it I am way to hungry?

Went back to Kampar after that, it’s indeed a tiring yet enjoyable trip.

p.s. – I don’t mind doing such assignment. teehee.

p.p.s. – I had combined all the photos as I am using all these for my assignment.
