  • Our Short Getaway to Sekeping Serendah

    OK, I shall blog about our short getaway from two days ago because my blog is dying lol. I have been really active on Dayre (@bobostephanie) to the point that I’ve totally forgotten about my blog hahhaa. If you really enjoy reading my “Bobo’s Day” posts, you should totally follow me on Dayre because I update a lot of random posts there hehe. The only disadvantage of Dayre is that it stops me from updating my blog hahaha. HOW LA LIKE THIS!??!

    Jo and I have been quite busy with work recently so Jo suggested that we should go for a short getaway to de-stress ourselves.

    Jo has wanted to visit Sekeping Serendah for quite a while edi because he obviously loves nature more than I. He told me he went camping in Taman Negara before when he was in high school and I was like, “Yerr, what do u do there besides feed mosquitoes?”

    I have to admit I’m not a very outdoorsy kind of person but I LOVE beaches… with nice villas of cox LOL

    A few days before heading to Sekeping I went on to Tripadvisor to do some research on the place and to check whether they provide hair dryers or not LOL *true story

    Obviously they dont so I brought my hair curler and dryer along, it felt more like moving houses than going camping for me hahhaa. I brought too many unnecessary stuff with me.

    Then i found out they have NOTHING, yea ZERO besides oxygen and water and maybe mosquitoes lol.  So I was like, “Darling, do you think we can cancel the room?” Jo was like, “No wor, too late.” No choice, I decided to give it a try because the room looks interesting. We booked the Mud shed which is the smallest room (4 pax).

    There are 2 mud sheds and they share a kitchen in the middle. We were quite lucky because we got the whole kitchen and living room to ourselves. It really depends on your luck because if you only book one room you will have to share the kitchen and living room with other guests. If you prefer to have the kitchen all to yourselves I would suggest you to book two rooms or a bigger room instead!

  • Autumn in Tokyo (Days 1 & 2)

    I remember the last time we were in Tokyo for our wedding shoot, there was a typhoon and this time we experienced another typhoon in Tokyo too ==”

    So basically during the first 2-3 days in Tokyo, we had to carry an umbrella with us all the time. One thing I was really happy with during our stays there was the temperature. The temperature was just nice, not too cold or hot. A sweater or a light jacket is good enough so it’s perfect for dressing up. This time I’m quite smart because I finally learnt to pack light, I only brought 1 pair of heels and a pair of flats then 10 outfits for 10 days in Japan! NO extra outfits whatsoever!

    The purpose of this trip is actually for work; there is a health & safety exhibition in Osaka so my dad decided to just send me there to meet up with our suppliers and take a look at the exhibition. Like I said, when it comes to Japan, work 24/7 also never mind. We only have to work for 3-4 days in Japan and another 6 days was plainly for shopping and sightseeing hahaha…

    Landed safely and Japan welcomed me by making sure my bum was warm and clean hahaha. First pic I took when I landed in Tokyo, there are a lot of buttons to press for just a toilet right ==’ Ok something funny/bimbo happened to me in the next few days. I was in our supplier’s factory and I had to go to the toilet after a meeting, so as usual I just do watever business I did in the toilet. When I was done, I stood up and I tot it was an automatic toilet but NOTHING happened! So I was like WTF which button now!!! (There were only japanese words/symbols on the controller) I think I spent like fucking 5 mins looking for the “flush” button T___T When I was about to give up I was like I’m going to just press every single button! Luckily the first button I pressed, it flushed ==” The moment I came out from the toilet my supplier was like “R U OK?” I was like “YEAH, couldn’t find the flush button…” Only happens in Japan. I felt so dumb or “kampung” when I was in Japan.

  • Yet Another Singapore Trip

    Ola, I’m back from a 4 day trip to Singapore! I have to say, every time I visit Singapore I sure gain weight one =( I super love SG food because most of their dishes don’t contain dark soy sauce. One thing I hate about KL food is that they add dark soy sauce to every single dish… I dont get y and I dont want to know also haha. Different countries have different flavors and tastes I think.

    Our friend was driving to Singapore because his gf is moving house so we decided to tag along. I love the idea of moving house because you get to throw away things that you dont need which you would normally be too lazy to organize or throw. You can just do it one shot! Jo’s theory is – if you dont use something for more than 6 months, it means you no longer needed it hahha. I think it makes so much sense! haha

    Anyway, we started our journey at around 12.30am and we reached at around 4am. It was all my fault because we were supposed to leave earlier but my event ended super late ==” U know how Malaysian timing is? Yea, always late…. The next day, I was jokingly saying I feel like I’m having a hang over without consuming alcohol ==” Super zombiefied.

    CYMERA_20130913_143143The next morning, we had fish soup noodles/rice for brunch! This will never happen in Malaysia because I always crave to have western food for brunch. They have 2 choices for you to choose from, you can either choose rice or yee mee (fried egg noodles). I picked rice because I’m a rice bucket hahaha. Jo tried their egg noodles and it’s awesome! The noodles was cooked just nice, not too hard or too soft! I super love SG fish head soup, the taste seems to be a little different from Malaysia’s or maybe I dont know where to have fresh and delicious fish head noodles in KL. If you know any, please share it k!

  • WILD WILD SINGAPORE!

    Super back dated post hahaha! We went to Singapore last month and it was my first ever girls trip! I have never been on a girls trip before and I’ve always wanted one because I know it’s going to be super fun! Imagine being away without your significant other, and only with a bunch of girls, hahahhaa. Isn’t it an awesome chance to test your market again ==” Jo was jokingly saying, “Make sure u girls dont bring guys back to your hotel ah and dont get too drunk ah!” hahaha

    Anyway, the main purpose of this trip was to visit Universal Studios in Singapore. I’ve always wanted to go USS but Jo hates theme parks so much that he’s banned us from visiting after our experiences in Disneyland, California T___T So I’d have to go with my girls or sisters if I wanted to go to a theme park.

    We were quite unlucky because the haze was quite bad on the day that we reached SG. The weather was super hazy but we had no choice but to walk around with our masks on…

    P6215104This was how we looked like the moment we reached SG, N95s for everyone. We heard that N95 masks were sold out in SG so I brought some for us!

  • Bobo’s Day- Bangkok Edition!

    Halo, I just got back from my 4 day trip to Bangkok and it felt like I was there for a month! I believe time paused when I was having fun.

    This Bangkok trip is little bit different from my previous Bangkok trips because we went with my family! It was like a very last minute family trip because Jo and I bought our tickets a few months ago, then my family decided to tag along! Believe it or not, it’s our very first family trip out of the country besides Taiwan.

    I didnt have a chance to take many pictures because I was so occupied with showing them around, eating like a monster and shopping like a shopaholic hahahaha.

    Since I’m a responsible blogger *ahem I managed to snap a few pictures using my Note2 so that I can share with everyone what I did in Bangkok!

    BonChon chicken serves the BEST Korean fried chicken! I think it tastes way better than 4 fingers in Sinagpore because 4 fingers is way too salty =( The best part is that they serve it with sticky rice hahaha.
