When in Melbourne city… I live my life and indulge in it all!

April 11, 2011 by thejessicat

 

With my usual weekends spent in the city of Melbourne, I am usually nomadic and tend to succumb to aimless shopping and gallivanting.

Either that or just hangin' out with my citymates over a cuppa…. and hitting the pubs for a drink or two at night.

 

Shoppingtime at Queen Victoria street market

Yes, stop staring at my feet. I fell prey to the trend of UGG boots.

 

I know I once condemned its hideousness but then again, that's what everyone once said about Crocs in the beginning too.

Once you find something that suits you, you'll eventually end up strutting down the street with your favorite pair. And they keep my feet warm from this chilly weather of averagely 15°C

 

Sales. Sales… oh the music of sales.

Bells are ringing, I swear. Whenever I walk past a display window, the new arrivals and lovelies beckon me to come closer. Like the Pied Piper of Hamlin to the rats and children.


Retail therapy. Say no no no no before your bank dries up, Jess.

 

Also, when you're in the city, remember to eat your heart out.

Try things that are not available in your home country. In my case, would be Malaysia. So when in Melbourne, get to Subway's Chicken and Bacon Ranch, McDonalds' Angus Beef Burger, Hungry Jack's Bacon Deluxe and the list goes on.

 

 

OMM NOM NOM NOM

FORGIVE ME, IF YOU'RE ON A DIET.

 

this is mild food porn.

 

 

Anyway!

There's more than just fast food, obviously. Deli restaurants, international cuisines from every part of the world you can imagine (I will share my Greek escapade pretty damn soon 😉 ) and yes, chocolate lounges are a must-go.

 

Again, I'm sorry if you're lactose intolerant!

Because these are pretty fine bites of cocoa

 

Now, excuse me while I devour the entire shop and tip the weighing scales 😛

 

Holla me if you ever come down to Melbourne!

Our short weekend getaway @ Langkawi Island! Of booze, chocolates & fireworks. HOLIDAY!

August 29, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

Heyyy!
 

How was your weekend everyone? 😀
 

 

I headed back to give my family a visit and while I was browsing through some piccies, I realized that I long for another well deserved holiday so much! Well, MATTA Fair will be up and running next week and I just can't wait to choose the awesome packages there.
 

 

So lemme recap my weekend in Langkawi with the boyfie Josh some time back 🙂 Realized that I haven't blogged 'em yet!
 

 

 

Departed from Swettenham Pier in Penang Island with the ferry.

Camwhored like crayyyyzeee!
 

 

 

When we reached, the first place we hit was the beach! 😀
 

 

 

And decided to photobomb each other in the midst of narcissism
 

 

it wasn't planned! Bwhahaha
 

What a coincidence
 

 

Fast forward!
 

After playing in the sand like lil kids, it's time for some extreme sports 😀

 

Motorboating yo!
 

That thing can go almost 300km/h yo

 

Took a ride! The seas were vicious but we still managed to squeeze a piccie
 

Thankfully, the speedboat didn't topple over!
 

 

 

We were speeding ala too fast too furious! Right in the middle of the rough waves
 

Take a look!

Josh superfreaked out lest I drop the camera into the deep depths of the sea

Nyehehe
 

 

 

But I didn't lor!
 All safe and sound
 

 

Here I am acting all macho like I own the waves!
 

Bwaaaahaaha 😛
 

 

 

All done with riding the seven seas :P
 

What an adrenalin rush!
 

 

 


This overdue holiday was done at the start of 2010!

That time, my red highlights of 2009 had faded off already
 

 

Let the rain fall and wash away our writings in the sand!
 

 

Chilled out more at the beach and walked along the stretch of bazaars! I went absolutely bonkers shopping for sun dresses, bikinis, hair clips and whatnot!
 

 

And then nightfell. Had a good night's sleep back at the hotel
 

 

 

And before we knew it, it was the next day! A whole new day of activities lies ahead of us
 

 

Went for a traditional Chinese massage!
 

 

 

I did the reflexology! Ima fan of foot massages, in fact in every island I visit, the reflexology is a MUST do! 😀
 

Here I am getting tortured LOL

When you're laden with stress, I'm certain it'll hurt pretty bad!

 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsBzVcGo5HM
 

And here's Josh getting himself tortured as well
 

I mustered whatever Mandarin I can to get the masseur to massage him harder! 😛

 

 

Did some shopping and dinner thereafter
 

 

Awwwwwww adorable max!!
 

 

And how can we forget, chocolates!
 

Here are some of my faves… Guylian's seashells

 

Dinner at a seafood restaurant! Langkawi's pretty fehmes for its seafood
 

Loved the Pineapple rice there too! We had calamari, fish, soft shell crabs and much more

 

 

Our last night at the beach.
 

Thought it would be nice to sit warmly by the bonfire

 

And it was huge!!! 😀
 

Not to mention extremely glaring too
 

 

A beautiful arsenal of fireworks made their way through the nightsky

The display lasted for almost 5 minutes!
 

 

 

Headed off to the Bird Paradise park the next day
 

So much birds! I had fun feeding 'em too

 

Cockatooooooooooooo
 

 

 

And it was time to go off already!
 

Time seems to stop whenever you're on a holiday ey. 🙁 🙁
 

 

Goooooooodbye Langkawi!
 

We'll be back again for the fun, the booze, the beach and the seafoooood!

 

 

Short weekends trippin' are the best way to renergize yourself for a brand new week ahead.
 

This year, I'll be heading to Pangkor Island, Tioman Island and Bali if everything goes smoothly as planned!

 

*crosses fingers*

Monkeys in Genting eat McDonald's Fillet o' Fish burger and Iced Milo for lunch!

August 3, 2010 by thejessicat

 

So we were on the way up the hill on the lowest gear ever to Genting Highlands and finally reached the Cable Car skytrain after 40minutes. But alas, the skytrain was closed! 🙁 🙁

The homies and I were dejected but we decided to drive up furthermore anyway.

 

BUT JUST BEFORE TANNIE TURNED THE IGNITION, WE CAUGHT SIGHT OF THIS :

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAyAeSzP8Ss

 

Hmmmmmm… looks like the monkeys are having a jolly good time feasting on our McDonalds breakfast!

Initially the car windows were open but when those monkeys were getting a little vicious, we winded the window back up.

 

Glad we fed them a wee bit of breakfast for a change! Should there be a monkey swarm at the nearest McD, don't look at us! 😛 😛
