From Me To You

Before i continue telling about the villa, let me fill u in about what happen at the reception counter..... After we have registered, and right before the receptionist hand us our key.....this is what she said... (babes, correct me if i missed out any other details)

Receptionist: Cik, sebab ni villa baru, so tv ada tapi astro sume tak pasang lagi.... (Miss, since this is a new villa, we have the tv but no reception)

Moi : Channel local pun takde? (Not even local channels?)

Receptionist : Takde

Moi : Abis tu kitaorg nak tgk apa?(Then, what are we going to watch?)

Receptionist : Nanti kita cuba dapatkan dvd player. (We'll try to get you the dvd player)

Moi : Cik, kalau ada dvd player tapi takde dvd tak gune jugak kan? (Miss, if u have a dvd player, but do not have dvd, there's no point right?)

Receptionist : (nodded)

Moi : Macam mana boleh jadi macam ni? Kalau u all inform awal2 bleh kita prepare bawak dvd. Masa nak upgrade villa reti plak call, kenapa tak bagitau sume2 ni masa call hari tu?or bleh call kitaorg semlm and bagitau... (If you have inform us earlier, we could prepare and bring some dvd. When u guys called last week regarding the upgration, why didn't inform? or at least call us yesterday to let us know?)

Receptionist : Saya tak tau cik...hari ni baru saya tau.... ( I didn't know, i was only told about this today) - FRANKLY I DON'T THINK SHE JUST KNEW ABOUT IT...

Moi : So kenapa upgrade kitaorg ke villa 3 bilik kalau tv takde siaran? (So why upgrade us to the 3 room if the tv have no reception?)

Rceptionist : Ouh, sebab ada VVIP datang...so kita kene kasik dia villa 2 bilik tu.... (Ouh because there's VVIP came and we needed the 2 rooms villa for them) - MY ASS, DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT IT??? PLUS THAT"S NOT WHAT U TOLD US THE OTHER DAY!!!

Moi: Itu bukan masalah kitaorg ada VVIP datang ke apa ker..tu masalah korang...kitaorg dah book villa ni dari awal lagi... Tapi kenapa tak kasik villa 3 bilik tu kat VVIP? (Frankly, that's not our problem. That's your problem. we have book this villa in advance. So, why didn't you give the 3 rooms villa to the VVIP?)

Receptionist: Eh, tak boleh...villa tu tak lengkap lagi....(Ouh, that's impossible. This villa is not fully complete yet) - BULLSHIT!!!

Moi : Oooo...so yg tak lengkap tu la you kasik kat kitaorg.....(Ooooo....so you give us the not complete one la???) - DAMN SMART AND IDIOT AS THE SAME TIME!!!

So this is how they do business...just because got some VVIP decide to turn up the very last minute, we who book like 2 months in advance get this kind of treatment la...i mean we don't blame the VVIP..it's not their fault...we don't think the VVIP even know that there are people who have to sacrifie their villa to serve the VVIP.... the truth is we don't really care about watching tv cause that's not the main point we are here...we just love to bitch around...kekekek...nah...it's just that the way they treat us....enough of that....let's check out the villa =D The moment we opened the door to the villa...this is what we saw.... cool huh??



We were so exicted although still not happy with the receptionist....so we go thru around the house...and the bell boy who showed us the villa and how to use the jacuzzi also kena from us...hahaha....but we know it's not his fault...after he left we lazied around at the living hall.....with the hot weather, its nice to just lie down under the air-cond. Ouh and the bell boy return with a dvd player...but then we told him not to plug it cause seriously there's no point....


Anyway, we then decide to go have a walk at the hot springs water park.... so i said i want to pray first before we go...and guess what peepz, no sign of showing the direction for the 'kiblat'.... first no tv now no 'kiblat'. ok chill, so i wanted to call the receptionist and ask...wait, where the hell is the phone???? we looked all over the villa, every room, bathroom, kitchen, cabinet and even drawers....no sign of phone...wtf.... that's it...i'm so gonna complaint about this....and later on we discovered not even one rubbish bin in any bathroom or the rooms....there's only one in the kitchen....sigh...

So, we changed our attire and went for a walk at the hot springs park...first we went to the Water Reflexology Course....the water was hot when u reached certain part...Ah Hooi was screaming as she walk along the course...haiyo...kekkeke...then we continue walking, saw an ice cream booth....it was so hot so Aida n myself had ice cream...yumyum...then we continue our walk to the Natural Hot Springs Boardwalk....u can see the heat rising from the stream as u walk along the broadwalk...and we came to this sauna place...it's like a small hut built on the stream...and the floor of the hut was made of planks and there are slight gaps between those planks...so the steam from the stream can reach those sitting on the floor....damn cool ok...since nobody there, we take our own sweet time lepak there...kekeke....and Ah Hooi was learning this "I must" song from Pikky.damn funny...kekekke...




After lepaking at the natural sauna, we moved on to the hot springs pool...stayed there for while cause it's kinda hot plus the weather also hot...not a good combination...then we proceed to the mountain springs pool and yes this is more like it cause the water was cold....hehehhe....we took a dip for a while and the decided to go back and take a dip in our private jacuzzi...wooohoo...so, there's nothing much there in the hot springs park... By the time we got back to our villa, it was around 5sumthing...we get into the jacuzzi and relax...it was so much fun....then we decide to start the bbq fire...and get our food prepared...you should totally check out our food...and the taste too...yummmy ok!!! So, i'll leave you guys with the pictures taken during our trip...

One last post about this trip will be up soon...cheers peepz =D

Number 1
Villa booking - handled by Ah Hooi (thanks a lot babe..really appreciate that)... we booked the villa like 1 or 2 months in advance to avoid disspointment. At first when Ah Hooi booked, there were only one bed room villa left and that villa can fit up to 6 person..Perfecto! there's 6 of us! However she asked the person to inform case there's any cancellation for 2 bed rooms villa. Again, luck on our side, few days later, a person in charge from the villa called Ah Hooi to inform there cancellation for 2 bed rooms villa...wooohooo...so we grab the 2 rooms villa, paid the deposits and make full payment a week later(agak2 la..hehehe). Ouh an a week before we leave, a person in charge from the villa called again saying that they upgraded our 2 rooms villa to 3 rooms villa. Ah Hooi asked why and they said they needed to do some work for the 2 rooms villa... and Ah Hooi asked again what are the differences between this 2 villas? And they said it's all the same except that this one have extra another room... so fine by us...we can fit 2 person in each room..initially 3 person in one room...anyway,2 days before depature, Hanie came up with a sad news...she has some urgent matter at her home town...so she can't go...OMG....so now we are down to 5... :(

Number 2
Aida and I came out with a plan to have BBQ for dinner...i. we think that we should prepare everything from home..so that when we arrived there, all we need to do is light up the fire and grilll...weeee... to make our life easy, i suggested to buy the disposable bbq pit...so we can easily get rid of it once we done with the cooking =D So, Aida and myself put on our thinking caps and starts decide on what food to bring and who's gonna in charge of what food... we came out with all kinda of food and after finalised with everyone, we decided to have lamb, beef, chicken, sausages, coleslaw, baked corns n potatoes, stuffed mushroom, bruschetta and muffins for dessert. The lamb, stuffed mushroom, muffins and bruschetta were prepared by Ah Hooi. I asked my mum to help marinate the beef and chicken. Boiled the potatoes from home and get the other honies to wrap it in aluminium foils,bought the coleslaw from popeye's. We decided to save money and to bringsome of the stuffs needed like paper cups n plates, tongs, knives, oil, plastics and etc from home. kekekkek... we've got all the thing needed an voila, we are ready to go!!

So, here's how our journey started. Aida and Nik overnight at my place. The next morning we left my place around 9 am. Pick up Pikky at her place, dropped by 7-eleven to buy aluminium foils(coz our miss pikky in charge of it and she don't have it at her house) and also ice to put in the ice box to keep our marinated food in good condition and lastly pick up Ah Hooi from Kelana Jaya LRT Station. Since Hanie didnt give us us her fire starter(only knew about it on friday night), so i was looking for it when we dropped by at 7-evelen but they don't have it. We then went to Carefour at Tropicana City where me and Ah Hooi went and look for the fire starter...found the BBQ section, got the pit, the coal but no fire starter...wtf... on the way back to the car(where the rest waitiing in the car), we bumped into a ex-colleuge of ours...he was damn confused when he saw us...kekeke... then Ah Hooi and me were racing to the car...hahahha...when we got in the car, Ah Hooi expression was like, "Fire starter do have but got Cheng Ooi(the ex-colleuge we bumped into)...." wtf.... So we decided to hit the highway and go straight to the place. We decided to just use the stove to burn the coil...hahaha...but on the way to the highway, we were passing by a housing area a saw a sundry shop. Decided to give it a last go and yeayyy the shop have fire starter....and that's where our journey begin..

I remembered we got in the toll around 11am.... ouh forgot to tell that our ride was Nik's new Honda CIty...kekekek...cool car... and next thing we know we already arrive at the Sungkai exit...that was around 12 in the afternoon....it took us about another 15 minutes to arrive the Hot Springs after the exit.... we arrived at the hot springs around 12 sumthing but cannot check in yet. They can only allow us check in at 1.30pm... fine, so we decided to go for lunch and Nik need to fill up her petrol...damn smart rite her, want to travel but petrol got less than half a tank..luckily it didn't stop half way...hehehhe... So we get out of the plantation(the hot springs is in the middle of palm oil plantation) and head to Sungkai town for petrol. All of us are not familiar with the area...found the petrol station, fill up petrol and now need to look for place to eat...i think we drove about 20km before we found a place to eat...haiyo...

Lunch was another story....on the way looking for place to eat, Ah Hooi was like " i want to eat pucuk paku" with her chinese accent...hahhaha...we were laughing like hell...kekeke.. so, the place we end up for lunch is lika a food court but very 'cikai' one...hehhe....i think there were 3 shops that were operating.... we looked at the lauk in shop 1 and 2... And guess what, Ah Hooi found pucuk paku in shop 2...u guys shud see her face at that moment... However, we end up ordered from shop 3 cause they have like the "goreng-goreng" stuffs. But that doesn't stop Ah Hooi from buying only the pucuk paku from the 2nd shop. Pikky tasted the pucuk paku and liked it...so she went and buy all but then it was not much left... While waiting for our fried rice, Ah Hooi decided to check out the shop 1 again and guess what she came back with???another plate of pucuk paku...this girl has totally gone insane.... however, we finished all the food....we had fried rice, 4 plates of pucuk paku and the abc i ordered was GOOD! Next is to get back to the hot spring and get in to the villa...yayyy.......

I guess that's all for now.....i'm posting another post about our stay at the hot springs villa.... cheers =D

So, this year we decided to plan another trip since oour Miss Pikky is leaving us for a year....to go and live with her boyfriend in Australia...damn...kekeke...and some of us might leave to further study..but that one have not been confirm yet...

We checked out internet and founf this place called Hot Springs in Sungkai, Perak....coool.....we looked at the photo gallery and voila, we decided to go there..
Ah Hooi managed to get us a super duper good deal for the villa...we book a 2 bed rooms villa with jacuzzi attahced outside the villa fro RM580....good deal huh??? and guess what, about an hour ago, Ah Hooi emailed to inform that the hotel have up graded our 2 rooms villa to 3 rooms villa...kekkeke...wow.... i think i like this place already...kekekke....and we're planing to do BBQ that nite...and gonna soak ourselves in the jacuzzi all day long...ouh and the have spa village there...guess we can pamper ourselves huh.... =D
