bukit tinggi trip

cheche and me decided to bring mom to bkt tinggi as a birthday gift trip. we booked the 2d1n package which costs rm138 pp. we stayed in colmar tropicale, a french-themed resort which is in the village itself. besides the name and some not so facsinating french facade, nothing much frenchie i assure you. they have pasta shop but that's italian. ok. a bakery but i cant find even one authentic french dish on the menu. we ended up eating in the japanese restaurant nestled in the botanical garden. the tables were dusty and some dead insects lying about. food was not so good and price quite high. we still enjoy it la. it's the company and the weather was nice. the japanese garden is small but clean and fresh. again. not much japanese about it. mom enjoyed looking, touching and feeding the japanese carps in the pond. tip : bring some fish food. they were selling a small wee pack for rm1.
the weather was cooling and it rained in the evening. due to the heavy rain, our room's windows leaked and we had to change room. the second room was huge! unfortunately it leaked too but not as bad as the previous room. later we had to wait for nearly an hour for them to fix the hot shower. after settling down n cleaning up we headed down for the buffet dinner. it was quite a disappointment. food was rather bland, bbq chicken looks more like charchoal pieces and the service - bad. we didnt spend much time outside after dinner as it was still raining. so we headed back to the room to retire for the nite. it was still raining next morning but cleared just before breakfast - which was so so. after breakfast we invaded the rabbit park which was rather pathetic. there were a few sick rabbits left untreated in the corner. all in all, the trip was ok but be prepared to entertain yourselves as there is nothing much to do.

かみちゅ!

at last anime is shown in malaysia without the irritating bm dubbed voices. "tooooonggkaaat saktiiiii" in very high pitched irritating voice... ha ha ha. of all my current fave is definitely kamichu! / かみちゅ!
it is light-hearted and entertaining. bountiful of kawaii-ness without being overly silly. great colour and excellent graphics. winner of the Excellence Award at the Japan Media Arts Festival 2005 said it all. it's almost like spirited away minus the creeps and angst. every turn there are some little surprises and imaginative charaters. highly recommend to catch this anime. かみちゅ! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5356

yes. this month is not my lucky month... it was just like any other fridays except for a dramatic acrobatic act : tripped-flew-fell which i ended up with a fractured arm. so embarassing!! felt so touched as my work mates rushed to help me up especially bridget.
