the CNY break

We've heard the stories, we've avoided it before. But this year, hubby thinks we should just go for it. And so, our family, including MIL, Cik Alin's and Cik Nyah's, decided to be part of the news, of jams and long queues at the Customs, by going over to Malaysia for a short break.

This time, Blossmobile, gets to come along, because Cik Nyah takde transport. So, yours truly (me, bukan lyana), drove. The trip towards Melaka, was ok, no jams whatsoever, Alhamdulillah. Maybe it was the time we chose to leave.. about 11am, on 1st day of CNY. In Singapore, towards Tuas, the road is almost empty.


Even managed to drive an 'S' on the empty road, just for fun. My aunts kat belakang, cuak kejap. =p Since I'm driving, there is not much pictures of the journey. (nanti yara cakap.. dangerous).

Kita tak buat apa sangat lah kat sana. Stayed at AFamosa. 1st night kat the resort hotel, 2nd night kat bungalow. We didn't do that to try the 2 types of accomodations. It was because the bungalows were full on the 1st night.


1st night, we met my uncle, who lives in Melaka,for seafood, where I only see food. I really don't eat much. Memang rugi bawak aku makan, especially for buffets.

Initial plan was to go to Umbai for seafood. On our way there, it seems like the whole of Melaka was heading to Umbai for seafood. Then seriously, when we reached Umbai, even the avenue leading to the seafood place at the end, dah jammed. So, changed plan.

Went to Alai instead. Even in Alai pun, packed jugak.

almost everyone in melaka, also having seafood that night.. (balaghah)

I must say that place at Alai, Deli Muara, is not bad. The owner, has a degree in Physics! Ok, not that it makes the food any tastier than it already is.. but waaah.. respect sama dia.

2nd day, morning-morning, we went for breakfast provided, in their Cowboy town.




The rest of the day was water day. Almost the whole time was spent in or near water. First, we went to water world. I was busy queueing and climbing stairs to get on rides, sampai tak ingat nak amik gambar at all.

And then, when we went back to the bungalow, ada swimming pond pool pulak, apa lagi.. budak2 dan non-budak2 pun terjun dalam air.

masa part I, diorang tak tahu amik gambar terjun! ceh..

By the 3rd day, I'm done with swimming. But the kids swam some more.

After we checked out from Afamosa, we went to Bandar Hilir.
Ada new 'hawker center' sebelah Mahkota Parade. The food is nice.





Finally, on our way back, we faced the real slow traffic and jams and accidents. I saw 2 sets of accident vehicles on the side.

The first one, they told me, the bus, must have hit the car or something.. i can't really see.. i was driving. I only saw people from the bus, having to stand by the road side. The railing on the right side of the highway, dah bent teruk.

2nd one lagi kesian. It involves a singapore car rupanya. I saw the front of the car, kemek beyond recognition.. and there were a few cars and people standing around. I can't see more. Yes, I was driving.

but my aunt told me, a man's body was on the side of the kemek-ed car. and on the other side, the mother, lying on the tummy, facing her crying child who was about 4-5yrs old. :'(

And.. KOGs (Kereta orang gila, or maybe a better term wud be 'kereta orang gopoh') continue to speed and/or cause danger to other vehicles by whizzing left and right, or tailgaiting so close behind at high speed, to intimidate the car in front. Fools. I pray that there's much lesser or none of such accidents. But I also hope that IF these KOGs cause any accidents, it's only their own, and the only ones injured are themselves, not anyone else.

Well, Alhamdulillah, we're back safe and sound, albeit me being tired from driving. Yes, actually tired from driving. I slept almost the whole day today!

I'm expecting work to be hectic tomorrow. :|
