Dari Selatan Ke Utara: Piknik di Teluk Bahang (Part 2)

Muahaha!
Nampaknya ramai yang tak sabar tunggu part 2.
Walaupun mereka sendiri tau apa yang berlaku sebab mereka pun join sekaki round2 di Pulau Pinang :p
Hehe. Sori yek, aku sebok bangat sekarang ni ;)
Ok, let's begin Part 2!


Pagi Ahad tu, kami bangun awal. Tapi tuan rumah pulak bangun lambat :p Sebelum bertolak ke Penang, kami sempat menikmati nasi lemak ayah Fysal:

'Nasi lemak satu!'

Suami Terchenta training dukung baby ngan anak Fysal, Ika. Ok, boleh kasi lulus!

Kami sepatutnya bertolak pukul 8pagi, tapi disebabkan kelewatan tuan rumah (bukan kami ya!), kami akhirnya berkonvoi pada pukul 9 pagi. Kesian Amy dan hosmetnya, Kak Niza, sebab kena tunggu lama sikit.

Setelah penat 2 sang kancil bermain kejar-kejar di highway, akhirnya kami sampai di Jambatan Pulau Pinang!

Tengok tu! Di Penang pun ada Twin Towers ;)

Amy dan Kak Niza sampai dengan kereta Savvy merah. Kami berkonvoi pulak ke Teluk Bahang untuk bertemu dengan Sishoney dan Yonna. Sesampainya di sana sekitar pukul 11pagi, kami semua yang sudah penat di dalam kereta bertempiaran keluar sambil membawa peralatan piknik dan makanan masing-masing.

Sementara orang lain bersiap-siap untuk berpiknik:

Geng Msjbox bersiap-sedia untuk sesi hooray-hooray di Teluk Bahang


Kami berdua pulak bersuka-ria snap gambar kenang-kenangan:

Bercanda di tepian pantai...

Demi merealisasikan impian kami mendaki Gunung Kinabalu, kami praktis dulu di Teluk Bahang:

Adeh... gayat ni!


Dan lepas bermati-matian memanjat, akhirnya berjaya naik ke atas!

Wokeh! Gunung Kinabalu, here we come!

Sishoney pun sambut cabaran mendaki batu di Teluk Bahang

Sesi makan + borak2 sedang berlangsung

Dalam pukul 1tghr, sesi piknik pun tamat dan kami berkemas2 untuk berjalan2 di Pulau Pinang pulak:

'Selagi hangpa semua tak kemas tempat nih, selagi tu hangpa tak boleh balik!' (Sishoney bercekak pinggang)


Sesi jalan2 Pulau Pinang aku story2 later, ye? Hehe.

Dari Selatan Ke Utara: Parit Buntar (Part 1)

Minggu lepas, kami buat rancangan langkah panjang. Destinasi? Pulau Pinang. Rancangan kemudian diheboh-hebohkan kat rakan2 blogger di Utara. Nasib baik ada yang sudi bagi penginapan free (Fysal) dan jadi tour guide (Sishoney & Yonna). Tak ketinggalan yang nak join berhooray2 (Shai, Amy Maria & hosmet, dan Bad).

Tapi, sehari sebelum kami bertolak, dengan sangat tak bestnya aku terpaksa terbang ke JB for work purpose. Oleh sebab kami perlu bertolak awal pagi Sabtu, aku arrange supaya balik malam itu jugak. Maka, selepas sekian lama, aku balik ke KL naik tren first class! Me like-eeyyyyyyy!!!

ADNFD - Premier Deluxe; RM107.80 untuk katil tingkat atas, dan RM127.80 untuk tingkat bawah (Photo source: Here)

Pada pendapat aku, travelling waktu malam lebih selesa dan selamat kalau naik tren. Sebabnya, sampai2 je hari dah cerah. Tak perlu susah2kan orang jemput di stesen bas pukul 3 atau 4 pagi. Lagipun ada katil yang selesa dan bilik mandi pun ada (tapi airnya sejuk!). Masa di France dulu, aku pernah naik SNCF train dari Nice ke Paris. Therefore, aku buat perbandingan dan hasilnya, koc KTM jauh lebih selesa, ruang lebih luas dan perkhidmatan lebih mesra dari SNCF. Syabas, KTM! KTM Boleh!

Tapi malangnya, aircond yang kuat menyebabkan demam selsema aku bertambah teruk dan mood aku bertambah jatuh. Sampai aku mengamuk dengan Suami Terchenta sebab lambat sampai. Huhu. Kesian dia ada isteri macam singa. Tapi Suami Terchenta ada teori lain. Teori yang lebih kaler2. Muahaha! Takpe, takpe. Sekarang isteri terchentanya dah tersenyum lebar semula. Terima kasih Power Root!

Perjalanan ke Pulau Pinang bermula pada pukul 8pagi. CLK berlari dengan semangat Power Ranger ke Jawi. Kami travel ikut highway Utara-Selatan, melimpasi pemandangan air terjun Lata Kinjang yang mengkagumkan, Gua Tempurung, Bukit batu kapur, dsb. Akhirnya kami sampai di Jawi pukul 12.30tghr.

Anyway, Selamat Pengantin Baru buat Dillenia / Nurshahidayah Razali! :) Dia ialah salah seorang best friend Suami Terchenta masa di UTM dulu.


Dillenia dan suaminya - sama cantik, sama padan :)

Memandangkan demam aku semakin mengada-ngada dalam cuaca panas di rumah pengantin, kami terpaksa minta diri sebelum sempat amik gambar dengan pengantin di atas pelamin. Masuk dalam kereta je, dunia aku jadi gelap-gelita. Aku tidur sepanjang perjalanan ke rumah Fysal di Parit Buntar.

CLK berehat selepas penat berlari-larian dari KL ke Pulau Pinang sebelum patah balik ke Perak

Lepas mandi dan solat jamak, Suami Terchenta suruh aku berehat di bilik. Bila terjaga, baru mood aku rasa lebih selesa. Fysal berikan ubat selsema. Nasib baik la kawan tu pembantu perubatan. Ada jugak stok ubat-ubatan di rumah.

Secara terus-terang, aku katakan. AKU SUKA PARIT BUNTAR! Suasana kampungnya relaks, tak huru-hara macam di KL. Ada beberapa sebab yang buatkan Parit Buntar as destinasi favourite aku:


Pantai Ban Pecah, Tg Piandang

Lepak2 waktu petang di sini memang best. Angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa, pemandangan laut yang cantek, dan gerai2 makanan yang menjual makanan panas. Kami duduk dan Fysal pesan cucur udang yang sedap. Suami Terchenta pesan ABC dan Shai beli keropok lekor. Kami berborak2 sampai senja. Aku suka suasana santai dan angin laut waktu petang.


Bot nelayan berlabuh waktu senja

Suami Terchenta - Peace!

Shai dan Fysal, berposing sakan

Char Kuey Teow Paling Sedap

Kalau aku pengacara Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan, dah lama aku bagi 5-star rating kat char kuey teow kat sini! Memang sedap tak terhingga. Bak kata Suami Terchenta, selak2 udang baru jumpa char keuey teow, bukan sebaliknya!


Char Kuey Teow Parit Buntar, RM2.50 je sepinggan

The kind of recipe I like!
Tak hirau kiri dan kanan, masing-masing asyik menikmati kesyedapan char kuey teow (dari kiri: Fysal & isterinya Intan, dan aku)


Wireless Internet - Free!

Kalau kami sudah bosan bayar pelbagai jenis bil di KL, kami pasti akan berpindah ke Parit Buntar untuk tujuan satu-satunya - surfing Internet secara free. FREE, kamu tahu tak? Mesti ada yang katakan - kalau free mesti lambat terkedek2. Kamu silap besar! Parit Buntar ada connection Internet yang free dan high-speed. Kami hampir kerasukan kerana terlalu gembira bermain Internet sambil update blog tentang perjalanan kami hari ini (note: Internet free ini ialah hasil ihsan Pejabat MDK Parit Buntar)


Penduduk Parit Buntar yang hi-tech

Kami pulang dari aktiviti bersukaria bila larut malam. Malam tu, kami sempat lagi meluangkan masa menikmati pemandangan langit cerah ditaburi twinkle-twinkle little stars. Dah lama aku tak merenung bintang sebab di KL, jangan harap akan nampak bintang. Kedua selepas ikan di tasik, aku suka bintang di langit. Kalau aku tak dapat tido, Suami Terchenta akan nyanyikan lagu Twinkle-twinkle Little Stars. Therefore, I sangat heart bintang!


Twinkle, twinkle little stars... How I wonder what you are...

Next posting, aku akan story-mory pulak pasal trip ke Pulau Pinang :) Sebab sekarang aku dah penat bercerita. Hehe. Gud nite!

Hari Yang Sengal

Hari ini aku masuk ofis. Macam sengal. Kerja bertimbun-timbun. Aku seorang yang bermati-matian. Sengal. Dengan kesihatan yang kurang memberangsangkan. CLK versi kecil yang meragam, buat aku mengamuk pagi tadi. Sengal lagi. Siap kau, CLK. Kami sudah berbincang hendak jual CLK sekarang dan beli CLK baru. Muahaha!

Aku serius mau tukar kerja. Pada awalnya aku teragak-agak sebab kompeni tabur janji-janji manis. Masa depan yang cerah. Trip overseas. Gaji naik. Pigidah! Tipah tertipu lagi. Trip overseas tu sudah kensel. Aku dah agak pun. Dan sengal lagi. Macam-macam alasan dieorang kasi. Dan macam-macam sebab lagi menghasut fikiran aku untuk memecat kompeni sekarang pada tahun depan. Dan tahun depan tu besok! Tak sabarnya!

Ho-ho. Alang2 bercerita pasal sengal, teringat meeting di JB itu. Memang sengal tahap dewa. Dia panggil buat meeting dengan vendor. Tapi semua dia harapkan aku sediakan. Dalam meeting pulak dia asyik main SMS. Kalau ikut hati, aku baling je handphone dia kat luar. Aku memang dah lama makan hati dengan dia. Dulu dia tak macam tu. Dulu banyak benda aku belajar dengan dia dan aku respect ngan dia. Tapi sekarang. MACAM SENGAL! *jerit sekuat hati*

Probably More Excited About A Couple of IKEA Stuffs Than I Should

To begin this ramble, this posting is where I make a love confession with a swanky, practical foreigner from Sweden. The name is IKEA. It's a long-lost, twisted love, born out of my endless desire to put everything in a context and a context into everything. Well, basically, I have a psychology condition which is called 'compulsive obsessive nature to be organised.' (read about it here and here). Therefore, when I found out IKEA has all the solutions to an organised life, I fell madly, deeply in love with it. So much so that I am short of naming my kid IKEA. Ikea bin Junaidix. How totally rowks!

Recently, we decided that our store room required a massive spring-cleaning job. I am too ashamed to post the 'before' image of our store room because it was really cluttered and untidy. Boxes stacked haphazardly. Some boxes were in too poor conditions that the contents were half-spilled on the floor. Most boxes were overflowed with things. Raincoats on the floor because we have nowhere to put them. Some files and papers were also placed on the floor. There were many paper bags containing wedding door-gifts lying around. In short. It's. Total. Chaos.
The solution to this problem? A complete tour of the IKEA store where I found these two useful items that change my life the store room's look:

Habol, Box with Lid (left)

Portis Hat Rack (right)

With mountain-high enthusiasm, we reached home and immediately set to de-clutter the store room. Our stuffs were divided into three categories - junks, items rarely used and items used more often. Junks were thrown out. Rarely used items packed in one of the box (top) and labelled according to whose items they belong to. Those rarely used are stacked at the bottom. Items used more often are placed at the top of the stack.

The results:


Ok, so it may not look pristinely tidy because the boxes are still stacked haphazardly but papers bags are no more on the floor, little items stored away in boxes which no longer overflowed. We have made 70% progress on improving the tidiness. I am hoping to save enough money to buy a racking system (also from IKEA) to solve the stacking problem.

Next:

This is by far, the solution that delighted me the most. No more raincoats on the floor! No more helmets lying around! No more jackets on the sofa / on the bed! The world is now warded off evils, corruptions and environmental problems!

This feeling of achieving tidiness is why I never fail to be excited at the sight of IKEA.

A Romantic Table for Two

Chalet, Equatorial Hotel
Trump sangat baik hati.
Dia belanja makan malam untuk aku dan Suami Terchenta.
Di Chalet, Equatorial Hotel.
Sempena ulangtahun perkahwinan kami.
Makaseh Trump!

Jadi, semalam kami keluar untuk sesi makan malam yang romantik. Tepat pukul 9 malam, kami muncul di depan pintu restoran. Tukang jaga pintu bawa kami ke meja untuk dua orang. Ada lilin seperti yang diminta. Ada muzik romantis jugak. Kami sangat teruja (dan sangat kekok! Bukan hari-hari kami makan di tempat yang eksklusif ini!). Buktinya, orang lain sebok berbual2, kami berdua sebok amik gambar. Muahaha! Memang sangat jakun! :p

Chalet, Equatorial Hotel
Hasil tangkapan gambar kami


Menu
Kami duduk. Pelayan datang, bawak menu (dalam Bahasa Inggeris & French). 10 minit kami terkial-kial baca menu di bawah cahaya lilin. Gila! Telur ikan (caviar) harganya RM700! Ini telur ikan ke atau telur dinasour? Buat 10 saat, aku terasa mahu memesan caviar, tapi aku rasa Trump mungkin tidak akan rasa murah hati untuk bayar sebanyak itu. Haha.

Suami Terchenta - Pakej Krismas
Juice - Mango juice
Starters - smoked salmon, fresh oysters, sup cendawan
Main course - Steak (tak tahu nama)
Dessert - Mango pudding, cinnamon-orange sherbet, iced chocolate ball
Hot drink - Tea

Aku
Starters:
- Raclaitte Valaisanne (traditional melted swiss cheese with baby potatoes and homemade pickles)
- Sup 'Crème de Champignons de Forest' (Cream of Wild Forest Mushrooms served in a Giant Roll)
Main course - 'Filet de boeuf' (tenderloin steak, medium)
Dessert - Gâteau au chocolat (chocolate cake), cinnamon-orange sherbet, iced chocolate ball
Hot drink - white coffee

My Verdict:

Starters >> boleh tahan, aku suka sup cendawan yang diletak di dalam roti bulat itu. Tapi Raclaitte valaisanne itu buat aku muak lepas sesuap dua.
Hidangan utama >> Dagingnya sangat liat! Menyesal order tenderloin! Sepatutnya order rib-eye atau sirloin sahaja. Tapi kuah steak (gravy) itu, not bad. Aku cuma dapat makan separuh sebelum aku surrender.
Dessert >> Aku boleh kasi rating 3/5. Not bad jugak.

Suami Terchenta's Verdict:

Starters >> uwekk!
Main course >> mmm...
Dessert >> Too sweet.

Sambil menikmati kopi panas, 3 orang pakcik yang bermain alat muzik datang ke meja kami.
'Would you like some song?'
'Erm...' saling berpandangan, 'please play some romantic music for our first year anniversary.'
Pakcik-pakcik itu terus mendendangkan sebuah lagu dalam bahasa Swiss dan lagu 'Everyday I love you'!

Sebelum kami balik, pengurus restoran ambil gambar kami dan berikan sekuntum bunga ros untuk kami.

Wah, seriously, ini ialah the perfect dinner date! :) Mungkin tahun depan kami boleh datang lagi ke sini...

Atau INI KALI TERAKHIR KAMI KE SINI.

Bila tengok bil dinner kami, kami terus mengubah fikiran.

Satu makan malam yang sangat expensive... sama dengan bayaran ansuran kereta kami sebulan.

Nasib baik Trump yang belanja. Sekali lagi... 1,2,3!

TERIMA KASIH, TRUMP!

Our Hari Raya Celebration

Early in the morning, after solat Hari Raya, this conversation ensued between a husband and a wife:

Wife: Which do you choose? Cooking (laksa Sarawak) or washing the toilet?
Husband (considering): Cooking.

Hubby headed to the kitchen, prepared to cook. Wifey went to the toilet, armed with detergent and stuffs. Hubby called out, 'Dear, what is supposed to be put into this pot?'

Wifey gritted her teeth and called back, 'Just read the instructions on the packet!'

2 minutes later, they switched roles. Wifey cooked, hubby scrubbed the toilet.

1 hour later:

Wife: Dear, help me make thin omelettes by whipping one egg at a time. Make 3 eggs, ok.
Hubby (nodding): Got you.
(Hubby whipped the 3 eggs together and fried them all in the pan)
Wife (big eyes and murderous look at hubby): Why did you fry all of the eggs together????
Hubby (looking wise and satisfied with himself): The pan is big enough to fry all 3 eggs.
Wife (looking not so satisfied): I. wanted. thin. omelettes. Grrr...

What an amicable start to the Aidiladha celebration.

So this was how our celebration looked like:

Some of the feast prepared, and some given by our next door neighbour (photo courtesy of Kak Retna)

From left: Topek, Fysal and Mr Shai (photo courtesy of Kak Retna)

As Fysal helpfully pointed out, our special menu was laksa Sarawak. Hubby prepared everything, and I merely helped to prepare the gravy :p (photo courtesy of Fysal)

Our Hari Raya guests (photo courtesy of Kak Retna)

Thank you to Kak Retna, Shai, Fysal & Topek (who drove all the way from Perak and Tanjung Karang) for coming for Hari Raya visit to our house and helping us to finish off the laksa :) Thank you also to Shai who came with lemang Pak Ali and the delicious serunding.

In short, we are certainly very happy to welcome guests to our house. Hopefully, we get to host more eating sessions at our home for more friends. Check out Suami Terchenta's blog from time to time!

Lastly, it's not too late to wish 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha' to all my blog readers.

The Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan - Menara Condong Teluk Intan

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
The tale of two crazy husband-and-wife at the leaning tower of Teluk Intan. Nope, it wasn't the camera that made this tower looks 'senget' (slanting)

Finally, after reviewing so many oh-so-romantic holiday options, we settled for a day excursion to Teluk Intan, Perak instead. Why Teluk Intan, you ask? Well, blame it on watching LOTR 'The Tale of Two Towers' for arousing our interest in the leaning tower of Teluk Intan, also known as 'Menara Condong'. Hehe.

Let me tell you - Teluk Intan is worth a trip there :) So, let's go Cuti-cuti Malaysia to Teluk Intan!

Welcome to Teluk Intan, Perak. The town of fruits.

In a true fashion of ours (fashionably late, as usual), we set out of the house only to turn back because we forgot our camera. But after filling up the petrol, we were speeding non-stop to Teluk Intan via Kuala Selangor route. For those who are unfamiliar, you can check out Suami Terchenta's blog to look at the route.

It took only 2 hours to reach Hutan Melintang where we were supposed to meet up with Fysal at Petronas station. Fysal came and took over behind the wheel. Since it was noon already, we went to have lunch at a mamak restaurant before setting out on our Teluk Intan adventure :)

After Zohor prayers at a charming mosque in the town centre, we were off to firstly, check out the king prawns (udang galah) at the jetty. Unfortunately, the price was a killer or we would cart off 1 kg of the prawns to barbecue later. The finest grade of fresh udang galah costs RM48 / kg. Mukah is still the best and cheapest place to buy udang galah :)

Oh my yummylicious, udang galah tastes heavenly when barbecued, or fried in my mother's secret udang galah recipe!

It was the only time I felt disappointed that I was not pregnant - otherwise, I would beg and cajol Suami Terchenta to buy the udang galah because 'baby wants it'. Hehe.

Next, we were off to Menara Condong, which is just 5 minutes away (In a small, quaint town like Teluk Intan, anywhere is just 5 minutes away) from the jetty.

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
CLK, enter-frame. Look at the borderline of this photo, the angle shows that this is truly a leaning tower

My review, the tower is a charming architecture of wonder. It's actually a clock tower, and when we arrived, the clock chimed merrily to tell us that it was already 1.45pm. Originally, the 122-years-old-tower was built as a water reserve tank by a Chinese architect (thus, the Chinese architecture look). It has 110 steps, and 3 storeys.

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
Inside the tower, at the top storey

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
The Wishing Well. Some superstitious visitors throw one-cent coins in the well and make a wish. If I was them, I wish that all the coins in the well become mine. Muahaha!

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
Me, at the foot of Menara Condong

Next, we were off durian-hunting. We had Fysal to thank for his help as our local tour guide. He knows where to find durians in the remote kampung areas. After driving for half an hour, we stopped by the road side to buy durians:
The fleshy, creamy durian for RM8 per durian... Not bad.

3 huge durians later, we were feeling the heat and decided to stop by at another stall selling ABC (Iced Concoctions). The friendly and generous stall owners upon finding out that we are out-of-towners, welcomed us with another huge durian, on the house! Oh, our 'durian runtuh' day! :)

Makan, bang. Jangan tak makan...

Stomachs bloated from eating too many durians, we finally called it a day and sent Fysal to his house.
On the way back, we captured this replica of the Menara Condong, for fun:

Menara Condong Teluk Intan
They even made it 'condong' (leaning), bless them!

Tips for travellers:
Travel time: Approximately 2 hours from KL (using Kuala Selangor route)

Budget: Only for fuel (RM15 one-way, if using Kancil) and of course, durians (depends on the season).

Accommodation: Not necessary, since it's only a short distance away from KL. There are though, a few homestays along the way.

Local attractions: Oh goodness, just read the posting above! Or, you can check out Wikipedia.

Might want to check out: If you are using Kuala Selangor route, you will pass by Bukit Belimbing (or specifically, Firefly Park Resort) famed for the sight of millions of fireflies flashing in synchrony, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. A must visit place of interest in Malaysia and our next destination! :)

Our First Anniversary

My Wedding Ring

... was sweet and simple.
We spent the day watching our favourite movie - Lord of The Ring.
Then cooked our favourite meal.
Lit a candle, and had a candle light dinner.
After dinner, we snuggled up on the sofa.
To watch our favourite soap - Ugly Betty.
Which Suami Terchenta downloaded from the Internet.

Suami Terchenta surprised me with a gift.
Which made me cry because I did not expect any.
He said, thank you for being my wife.
Though I am not rich, nor famous.
Yet you still marry me.

To which I replied, thank you for being my husband.
Taking care of me and everything.
Though I am not pretty, nor rich.
Yet you still marry me.

Happy Sweet Anniversary. May our love and marriage lasts.
From Here to Thereafter.

5 lokasi impian kami untuk sambutan ulangtahun perkahwinan pertama

Ulangtahun perkahwinan kami yang pertama bakal tiba Sabtu ini.
Persediaan kami: Zero.
Disebabkan aktiviti transaksi yang paling mahal dalam hidup kami (membeli rumah), maka dana untuk berhooray2 ke Bali sudah kering-kontang.

Alangkah seronoknya kalau ada orang yang sponsor percutian kami ke sana :) *hint hint*

Tapi kami masih bersemangat untuk menyambut ulangtahun perkahwinan kami yang pertama *mata berkaca2 penuh kegembiraan*.

Kepada pengantin-pengantin (atau bakal pengantin) baru yang masih mencari-cari tempat yang sesuai untuk ber honeymoon, dengan sukacitanya boleh rujuk lokasi dan anggaran bajet di sini.



Cadangan-cadangan pelaksanaan:


1. Cuti2 ke Bali!

Ini ialah sambutan ulangtahun perkahwinan yang ultimate sebab Bali terkenal dengan pantai yang cantik, budaya unik, shopping pun best. Penginapan pun boleh tahan harganya.

Anggaran bajet: RM750/couple (tiket penerbangan AirAsia & penginapan 3H2M)



2. Pakej honeymoon di Awana Porto Malai, Langkawi

Pakej ni sangat sweet - 2H1M di Langkawi, satu candelight dinner, hadiah coklat / sejambak bunga, dan sunset cruise. Memang sesuai untuk honeymoon atau menyambut ulangtahun perkahwinan tak kira yang ke-berapa (Nota: Ayat ini ditujukan khas kepada Suami Terchenta)

Anggaran bajet: RM998/couple. Muahaha! (Gelak kecewa)


3. Penginapan di Avillion Village Resort, PD

CLK tak perlu berlari jauh2, cuma ke PD je. Chalet atas air ialah suatu pengalaman unik yang menarik. Especially pantai PD yang terkenal jernih airnya. Me like-y!

Anggaran bajet: RM700++ /room. Sudah semestinya kami cuma boleh menelan air liur sahaja.



4. Romantic Retreat Three Night Package, Four Season Hotel, Langkawi

Anggaran bajet: RM5773/couple. Untuk orang-orang kaya sahaja.



5. Gunung Kinabalu

Seriously. Mungkin ada yang kata aku gila, anniversary atas puncak gunung yang sejuk bagai tu? Carneyz, you give a new meaning to ice queen. Miahaha! Tapi, untuk couple yang suka cabaran, this is the place to proclaim love - with the world at your feet. Haha. The height of love is as high as Kinabalu's summit :p

Anggaran bajet: RM800+ (2H1M, tak termasuk tiket penerbangan) Haha. Maybe next year sahaja...

Antara yang turut dipertimbangkan:
- Trip ke Perak (Fysal) sempena 'musim luruh'... :p

Verdict: Hmm... Disebabkan bajet yang agak menyedihkan, kami bercadang untuk buat candlelight dinner sahaja :)

What Month Did You Marry?

I came across this popular folklore rhyme while searching for wedding anniversary ideas:
January - Marry when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true.
February - When February birds do mate, you wed nor dread your fate.
March - If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.
April- Marry in April if you can, joy for maiden and for man.
May - Marry in the month of May, you will romance the day.
June - Marry when June roses grow and over land and sea you'll go.
July - Those who in July do wed must labour for their daily bread.
August - Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see.
September - Marry in September's shine so that your life is rich and fine.
October - If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
November - If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember!
December - When December's snows fall fast, marry and your love will last.

P/S: Not that it matters in Malaysia where couples choose school holiday months to tie the knots rather than the significance of the month ;)
