Last 20's Birthday - Pangkor Retreat

Celebrated my last 20's birthday on April 2011. I am getting into "aunty" stage literally. As usual, Ashton and I having dinner and this time we have it at KLCC food court.
We got some vouchers of Hachigo from Mix FM, and i suggested to use it before is dued. Hachigo is a Japanese expert in Bento (Bento : bekal makanan), and there's plenty of choices between rice and noodles.

Unfortunately, we reached there quite late, so many of the items already out of stock.
We decided to try on chicken kimuchi , salmon teppan and garlic fried rice. Each set come together with one miso soup, fruits, octopus, and one hot green teas. Top up $ if you preferred soft drinks. Chicken kimuchi taste like chicken + kimchi (exactly like the name), not spicy, not sour. Salmon is nice as the salmon is just lightly pan fried, so fresh and juicy!

My most valuable Present in my entire life! 

Reach Lumut Jeti.
There have 2 counters for 2 different location drop off. Do take note.


Bought out ferry tickets for the Pangkor town instead of Pangkor Island Beach Resort jeti.
The rental of motorbike is much more cheaper at the town.


Hot & Sunny day


Speeding to our destination : Pangkor Island Beach Resort (PIBR)!



Stunning environment! I'm amazed!


Checked into our Pacific Wing Room near 1pm.
We reach the hotel around 12pm and thanks to the Indian Front Office Mr. Suda (if i'm not mistaken), we manage to get our room earlier than 3pm.
Well, the room ambient is nice, overlooking the sea.

The coffee and tea making facilities

After resting (finished watching F1 GP), we on all one hour around Pangkor trip.
First, Fu Ling Gong. Emphasized, I don't saw the monkey (abused) as claimed by some tourists.

Oh oh...high tide...let's go to the beach!

" Pulau / Batu Ikan Paus". The tree looked like the water splashed out by the whale.


Snorkelling at Pangkor ain'f fun for me.
I'm scared of jelly fish and yes, is my first snorkelling. Can you imagine how scare i am?!
Non stop pulling Ashton because I'm scared,  i even wore the life jacket. Chicky me!

I am scared of sea. But I love the sea at the same time. How?


Surprise!
The hotel management noticed that is my birthday and they sent me this.
A vanilla layered cake with almonds, and it is very nice!



Breakfast like king and queen! Whacked nicely, a-ha!


The restaurent had nice view overlooking the swimming pool and sea.

Double sunny side up!


Peacock hanging around freely in the hotel area. Cute!


Young Trinity students playing in the pool.

Friend told me that Pangkor is famous with hornbills. I managed to capture it before it flew away, yeah!

The spa. Must try next time!

Packed and ready to back.

Thanks to Mix FM for letting me won the 2D1N stay at Pacific Wing Room @ PIBR. I must said that I have a nice Island retreat without spa, because the environment at the hotel is so refreshing and the island is so peaceful. The ikan bilis is super fresh! Hmm...i want to go Pangkor and PIBR again!

Lite FM "Love Is In The Air" Gala Dinner

Received a called from Lite FM after my entry of love letter was shortlisted. Surprise! 10% of chances to win a pair of tickets to Paris. But i knew that wouldn't be mine. ^^

Venue : Sheraton Imperial Hotel

Highlights : Fine dinner with Zak & Sara, Ross, Rex and Adi!

Looking for a signboard to the dinner venue hall as this is second time I visited Hotel Sheraton Imperial, KL after M2M showcase in 1999/2000. WOW, it has been a long time!

We are heading to Level 2.

We are served with juice & nuts with some breadstix and snacked-like vegetables, nice way for appetizer.

I love the hall as is WHITE. So white yet so bright! There will be 10 couples + the DJ. Side corner placed a small table for all the promo department PIC.

Looked at the way Ashton chewing the breadstix, is very crunchy i think. ^^

The menu.

Smilling but hungry already. @@

Sitting at the first spot. Advantage : getting closer to Zak & Sara!

First dish :
Smoked salmon and snow crab charlotte with kenya beans
The dish is a little bit salty, but is neutral when chewed it with the salmon.

Second dish :
Baked marinated chermoula chicken thigh on gratin rustic cheese potato,
and asparagus candied, cerry tomato relish
I must said this dish is superb nice! If i can, i want to swallow the plate so that i dont left a bite!

Last dish : Dessert
Tiramisu in chocolate cup with resberry coulis
Sweet!!! But the tiramisu is so nice with the aroma, i just can't resist it! And, i get 2 chocolate cups, because Ashton do not take chocolate! Yeah!

Games afte everyone is full. Rex is having Q&A with the oldest couple of the night. 
The games start with one of the partner filling up some prepared questions about the his / her the other half. 
Jeng jeng jeng...then his / her the other half have to reveal if the answers is matched!
Top  3 winners were rewarded with some CDs.

Actually there is another game, which both Ashton and me was involved in. There was no photo taken because we are in the game. 
The games start with the girl was blindfolded and she has to identify out her partner with only touching a line up of guys' face. I was freaking scared if i cant traced out Ashton. But, luckily i made it! ^^
Here's the video :


The night is just fun and lovey dovey!

And the winner of the grand prize : Gidget and her partner.
Not to mentioned that my tear drops after listening to her touching story. Love, with no boundaries and limits.
