Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

Sometimes the most fun we can have is when things are unplanned and they fall right into place. It was the trip I had with my besties up to Bukit Tinggi. It was short, spontaneous and a well deserved escapade from the working world!

Our little group, consisting of Pei Ling, Julian, Amar and Aznah were supposed to plan and have a bachelor night for Amar since he's going to tie the knot with his fiance, Aznah this coming February 1st. But then Aznah wanted to come along, so it wasn't that of a bachelor night outing, but more of a little escape. We went up to Bukit Tinggi and spent the night there gossiping, playing monopoly cards, cracking jokes and roaming aimlessly around.


It was my first time being at a new year countdown celebration, so it was something new and rather interesting to me. So jakun me. We went to Colmar Tropicale for the countdown, and man, there were thousands of people there that night. As the clock strike 12, fireworks showered the sky for minutes, then people began to dance around to noisy beats and all we did was just stood there and watched them. We were lame.. hahaha!

It was my chance to test my new camera too. :)

 Let the fireworks begin!

The night view of Colmar is breathtaking!

The next morning, we went further up to Bentong in hope to find the hot spring that place is famous for. After a rather long drive, we found it but it was closed for maintenance, they say la. But the place looks more like abandoned to us. Then on our way back, by co-incident we found a durian orchard and was given a tour around the farm. The tauke was talkative and friendly, where he gave us some sample of his tasty durians before we head towards the small town for lunch. We stopped by and had the Bentong's famous durian ice cream cendol. Man, it was simply delicious!

The durian orchard and the talkative uncle.

It was a short trip and we surely had fun. Hoping and definitely looking forward to this kind of trips in the near future. Sometimes, we don't need to plan things to make it fun. All we need is just to do things spontaneously and life is best enjoyed that way..

Lastly, cheers to the couple that's gonna tie the knot this Feb! :)

Semoga sampai ke anak cucu ye.. :D
