Trip to French Village-Bukit Tinggi

Bukit Tinggi, Pahang is one of the tourist spot in M'sia. Normally, people do like to spend their weekend to relax their mind after a hectic weekdays at work, over in Bukit Tinggi. French Village, Japanese Tea House, Botanical Garden, Rabbit Park are the must visit place when you visit Bukit Tinggi.

Finally, it is here! We celebrated our 1 year paktor anniversary and christmas countdown in the French Village. It was a 3 hours drive from Melaka. We reached the french village at around 2pm.

We registered at the reception, and while waiting for our room to be ready, we hang around the village.

After placing our luggage in the room, we followed the free shuttlebus provided by Colmar Tropicale to Japanese Village and Botanical Garden. It was a 15 min journey to the top of the hill and both of them are located side by side. We decided to go to Japanese Village first.

We spent rm 40 for the kimono suit. We are allowed to go around the Japanese Garden for photo taking.

And me, does I look like a samurai?

Dont know what is the name of this flower, but it is really cachy, you find it in the Botanical Garden

After all the visit, we head back to our hotel room for a good rest, and I took this opportunity to give my anniversary gift to my dear.

Guess what is behind the wrapping paper? :P

Of course, we didnt join the gala dinner as it is very expensive. We did prepared our own food and have a "candle light" dinner in our room. After that, photo taking session again!

A drink for Christmas.

After we have taken our buffet breakfast which was slightly better than First World Hotel in Genting Highland if you have went there before, we checked out and headed towards Mid Valley Megamall.

Earlier Christmas Gift 2008 – Chanel Fragrance

Christmas is around the corner and everyone is busying buying their gifts for theit loves one. For me, Connie has bought me an Eau de Toilette(EDT) from CHANEL. For me personally, CHANEL is offering one of the most irressitible fragnances that are available in the market. She bought me an PLATINUM EGOISTE POUR HOMME which is a very MAN smell. Cool huh! ^^. She told me that she loves this smell and it cause RM248 for 100ml.

Well, bartering system is always being exercised among couples. For her, I knew that she loves CHANEL ages ago. I did buy her a CHANEL perfume as well. It is CHANCE which is a fresh yet feminine type of perfume. You all must be wondering why both of us buying CHANEL for each others. To be frank, once you try it you will know. It is the best! It cost me RM284 for 100ml. I lose in the bartering trade. Anyway, the nice salegirl gave us 2 free gifts as a result for boosting the country economy her sales - An ALLURE HOMME SPORT EDT & ROUGE ALLURE LIPSTICK.

Below, you can see about the details of the gifts that we bought among ourselves quoted from CHANEL official website:

PLATINUM EGOISTE POUR HOMME

“An invigorating bouquet with the warmth of exotic woods. Three years have passed since the acclaimed launch of ÉGOÏSTE and Jacques Polge, its creator, has retained the spirit of provocation behind its success , but toned down its character a little. With PLATINUM ÉGOÏSTE he has put his name to a more composed and restrained fragrance. A second version and a second success.”

CHANCE CHANEL



“A sphere of fresh, floral and spicy scents, held together and kept in constant motion by the Unexpected Accord. It simply comes your way, it favours the brave, and you find it where you least expect it... When it comes your way you must grasp it, and not turn your back on it… This is chance, the chance which brings together a woman and her destiny, a woman and her fragrance : CHANCE from CHANEL. A remarkable similarity, is there not ?”

Uniquely Singapore

I was sent to Singapore for training by my company right after my Hong Kong trip. Of course, nothing comes cheaply. This training bonded me to this company for 1 year. Well this is not the first time I been to Singapore, but it can be classified as the longest time for me to spend my time in Singapore for 2 weeks.

I took full advantage of this training trip to visit the famous places that I missed out during my previous visits. Pei Quan, visited me during the weekend and hence we can "paktor" there.

We went to The Fountain of Wealth located at Suntec City, City Hall. Fountain of Wealth a.k.a "财富之泉" is listed by the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the largest fountain in the world.

Next, we go to the Singapore Flyer. Singapore Flyer is walking distance away from the Fountain of Wealth. Young people like us prefer to walk as it can keep us slim! Alternatively, you can take a cab to the Fyler as well, but of course you need to pay.

There are totally 28 capsules on the Flyer. Normally, it took about 30 minutes to complete one rotation. Consequently, the price to get onto the Flyer is not cheap for people like us. We just hanged around there and took some photos to mark our presence to this tourism spot in Singapore.


We headed east towards Marina Bay to view the City Skyline of Singapore. It is abt 1km away from the flyer. The iconic statue of Singapore - The Merlion is located there too. I would say that, the view is magnificent. You see wall to wall skyscrappers. It is definitely comparable to the Avenue of Stars in Hongkong. "Whoo~~!, Woooww..!" can be heard around when you visit this place.

While waiting for the sun to set, we went to The Esplanade a.k.a. The Theatres on the Bay. It is a "durian" shape building. It's main purpose is to act as the centre for arts performing for the island nation of Singapore.

We visited inside, and the pic below is one of the master piece of artwork, where the artist uses hoola-hooks from various colours and to form a background bringing sense of youthfulness and unity.

The sun sets, and the moon rises. We went back to the bay and capture the night view of Singapore.

Amazing!

Visiting Singapore, Orchard Road would be a must visit place for both of us. As christmas is around the corner, we can see the decorations is starting to blossom over in Singapore.

Live to eat; Eat to Live!

There is a lot of nice food around Singapore. A place where you get nice sushi in Singapore with a fair price would be Sakae Sushi. Sakae Sushi in Singapore offers more varieties of sushi compared to its franchise in Malaysia.

The Salmon is very fresh; Unagi is very fleshy; Sakae sushi is very tasty!

If you like to eat some spice and sourly cuisines, Bali Thai would be a good choice. Person like me who doesn't like spicy food also give two thumbs up after visited this restaurant. A must try when you visit this place would be the Seafood Tom Yam and it's Pineapple Rice.

When you ask citizens in Singapore where you can get good Chinese Dim Sums, they would recommend Ding Tai Fung. Normally, you will need to wait and queue to be seated. So, if you are rushing for time, it is better for you to make a reservation.

There is another place for you to get nice Asian cuisines with affordable price, that is The Asian Kitchen. The dessert is mouth watering!

For western food lovers, Fig & Olive provides the Mediterranean cuisines. The tuna filled kebab and it's fish with butter rice is not to be missed!
