NAK HOLIDAY LAGI................

Short VAcay...Bliss

I had the chance to unwind on my short trip accompanying my better half on business…well business for him pleasure for me..he had a meeting in Kuala Terengganu…

Have you guys heard of Ryi-Yaz heritage Resort??? We’ll maybe a lot of u hav but not moi…atleast not until I googled it up n end up staying there for a night..hubbs had a meeting in K.Terengganu n asked me to accompany..n me the person who always needs a break..jump to d idea…

I just love the place..before this...the only hotel that comes to mind in Kuala Terengganu is Primula ParkRoyal…but the place... as most reviews pointed out..has run down n in desperate need for refurbishment….apparently Ryi-yaz is the official place for d Monsoon Cup and is situated on Pulau Duyong… since it is more of a resort style setting, the rooms were scattered on the compounds of the hotel making it more exclusive..the rooms are spacious..n beautifully decorated..since the resort compound is quite big..u will need a buggy to chauffer u around ie: lobby to rooms..rooms to coffee house…but the buggy is just a dial away…cum rain or shine..always at ur service…we didn’t bring bambam on this trip as hubbs felt that it was just a short trip n wud make him worn out due to the 5 ½ hour journey..

We were given a room very near to the pool wic was fab n also playgrond…apparently this is the only resort that can accommodate all 13 rulers of the state at once for Majlis Raja-raja..as I was told…the rooms are sold at RM5k per nite for public..n is situated beautifully along the banks of the river cum muara.althou there were no beaches here but the fishing village view from the resort is soo beautiful…

The hotel provided free shuttle to the infamous Pasar Payang..but if u want a faster service u can opt for their gondola service which charges RM6 per head to n fro pasar paying..it only took less than 5 minutes to cross from Pulau Duyong to Pasar Payang..plus it was fun…coz practically we were d only passengers..

Since hubbs had to work the following day..i had breakfast alone…but it wasn’t a problem to me..with a book in hand..i enjoyed breakfast ala a tourist..hihih..i requested a late checkout since rizal was still at work..but was only given till 1pm due to heavy check ins..but nevertheless the was still a café that I cud lepak while waiting..which offered food at a generous price…then at 2pm I went to their cinema..yes the hotel has a cinema…hihi ala mini cinema..it host shows 4 times a day as early as 10am (if m not mistaken) till 8pm..n its of course on the house..its actually a room where they project the movie..n scatter comfy chairs for u to enjoy the movie..n since I was the only one watching..i had the room all to myself…but in between the movie..hubbs called saying he was at the reception already..too bad...really enjoyed myself…before venturing back to KL..we stopped at the very famous keropok lekor stall..we were told by hubbs fren that the que during holidays can b so doomed..but yesterday was no holiday..but damn the que was soo long…so we decided to eat the keropok lekor goreng only….mmg sedap..No wonderlah que like hell…I’ll let the photos’ do the talking(alamak tertinggal hp cable..will update l8r) ..org sekali beli like 100..200 gilos…

The so called Cinema

So all in all I enjoyed our trip..insyallah pergi jenjalan lagi since hubbs in charge of eastern region. so insyallah there’ll b more business cum pleasure vacay..moi je yg susah nak cuti selalu..hihi

Enjoy the photos!!

p/s mind my blog template..its currently under construction..

Ageing Beautifully....

Being beautiful is in every woman’s book, born with beauty is a blessing..but not everyone is lucky in that department..i.e looking beautiful minus effort…some people just got it..some people bloom from ugly duckling to “hello georgeous”..while some people like me…just have to accept that beauty for us does not come from the looks department....

Ok enough of my estranged intro..must b PMS…cutting it short..the intro above is actually associated with a conversation that happened last Saturday at my uncle’s place..the conversation involved 5 ladies…

Plot:

Lady #1,#2,#3 was standing infront of Lady #4 who was sitting accompanied by Lady #5…

The conversation...

Lady #1 : Cantik awak ni ye…

Lady #2 : Aah..cantik lah..x jemu tengok..

Lady #3 : (smiling n nodding in agreement)

*Lady #4 stunned n started to blush..which was cute…

Lady #1 : Mesti masa muda cantik…(while gesturing her hand at Lady #4's face) at this point Lady #5 wanted to do summersaults laughing

Lady#4 : Ish dah tua dah…

Lady #1n#2 : cantik..betul cantik….

Then Lady #1,#2,#3 shook hands with Lady #4 and #5 n left…

Ok im sure most of u r confused n or even WTH?? Tu pon nak cerita ke or whatever….to unconfused u guys…read on..

Lady #1 is an old lady…I believe she is somewhere in her late 70s to early 80's…Lady#2 is her daughter who is in her early 40's..i believe the same can be said about Lady #3…..

On the other hand Lady #5 is me... who witness this conversation…while Lady #4 is actually my grandmother who turns 87 this October..insyallah….

So if u guys get my story…u’ll understand y it tickled me…to receive such compliment from an outsider at 86++... not just any kind of compliment..but a compliment saying that u look beautiful is something..well atleast to me it is…

Before you guys start putting thoughts in your head…im well aware that I did not inherit any of this beauty.. mom did thou…my mom inherited the fine features of grandma’s beauty... well at least in her younger days…now she needs to pile on d kilos to get back that look I guess….

At 86++ my grandma has no major illness..every organ in her is working properly…her eyes r still 20/20…of course old age has caught up with her…but yes...to me she’s still beautiful…but that does not involve any cosmetics magic…just the magic of god…my grandmother devotes her time to Al-Quran n praying…u name all the sunat prayer or things that is sunat to be done..she’ll do it ever since she was a teenager..she does not know how to read or write as my late grandfather was not into girls going to school even though he could afford it…..

So I guess that explains y at 86 she can still receive the compliment we women thrive for….here's a photo of my grandma at 86 n looking beautiful..(heheheh)
