Post-graduation (IV) 之 Taiping - Kampar Trip

20/8 - 22/8/2009

A bunch of 14 fresh graduates drove hundreds of kilometres, around 4 hours from KL to Taiping for a little break away, hehe~

Although there're not many attractions in Taiping, but anywhere's the same... the most important aspect is the companions you have. Agree?

I guess the pictures below will summarize the whole trip ^_^

@ Taman Tasik Taiping

from here, we walked walked walked, passed by a few more gardens until to the ZOO!

(Awwww~~ I'm the shortest!!! How could this happened??!!)

Dive into...??? =p

(Below was just the lower level ground only, haha~)

Deep in thoughts...

Overlooking at the water lilies pond a.k.a 'Pregnancy Pond'. There's a legend about this pond, once there was a lady who's desperate to have a child of her own, drank the water from this pond and SHE GOT PREGNANT AFTER THAT!

Believe it or not? Up to you lor..

So, you think the fellas above were thinking what?? =p

Final destination point of our walking session:

Zoo Taiping & Night Safari

(We just posed at the sign board only, didn't enter the zoo, oo-hohohoho~)


Next destination: Bukit Merah Laketown Waterpark

Wet Bubble, claimed to be the 1st in Asia... or South East Asia?? (forgot)


The lifeguard who took our pic insisted us to pose in front of the wet bubble -.-lll

Post-graduation (II) 之 Genting Trip

Genting Trip <17/8-18/8/2009>

At first this trip was supposed to be a family trip after my graduation. However, it ended up with just my sis, younger bro and me going. The reason was my dad didn't want to take leave off work for so many days (my sis only managed to book First World hotel room for Monday night). My dad has to take 3 days leave in order to go and my youngest bro need to skip 2 days classes and my cousin has to skip 2 days school... MAH FAN-nya! SOOOO, in the end, we tiga orang pergi lor...

3 PERSONS, 2 ROOMS!!! ^_^ oh-hohohoho~

Black pepper drumstick set from Cold Storage.

We waited at the hotel lobby from 2 something to 6pm only could checked in, about 300 numbers!!! Too hungry during the wait, beh tahan stomach growling so ate at the lobby, haha~ The aunties and uncles around us STARED & LAUGHED at us, so PAISEH nia!

Moved to Starbucks to wait for checking in.

CHEEZELS TIME~~!

K-dinner at BE A STAR

Post-breakfast: Mister Potato & 'wooi fan shu' (my sis's favourite, hoho~)

Before leaving, caterpillar monorail ride. Bro nearly got stucked at the window rail and while trying to climb over to another compartment! hahahaha~

Post-graduation (I) 之 Family Photo-shooting

The next day after my graduation, my whole family and my aunt & uncle plus 2 cousins went to the only photo studio found near my aunt's house at Bandar Sri Damansara, Protake Photo Studio, for our family photo-shooting.

Some of you might be wondering why my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins were together with my family for the photo-shooting.

Well, the story is like this...

This aunt and uncle are my sister and brother's godmum and goddad. Since they don't have their own children, they took my sister and brother as their god-children. One of the cousins (mentioned earlier) is my aunt and uncle's god-child too. So, in short, this aunt, uncle, my sister, brother and the cousin are ONE FAMILY also. Confused? Haha~

Then why got another cousin who appearred le? This one is being taken care by my mum since he was 2 years old (now he's 8 years old). So, bring him along for the shooting. Clear tak?? =p

This was the first time that my family went for a proper family photo-shooting at a studio although my sis and brother had graduated 2 years and a year ago separately. Both of them postponed it until my graduation.

So the session started.

I took solo-ly then with family then with my 3 siblings. Each pose got a few shots.

~ chik chak chik chak chik chak ~

Then my aunt and uncle's turn.

Their 'family' photo followed by their husband-wife photo.

~ chik chak chik chak chik chak ~

FINISHED!

***************************************************

Here's the cheeky time! While the photographer went outside to transfer the photos to pc for us to select, my siblings and I stayed back and started our little own photography session, hehehe~

Mr. & Mrs. Chong (I look like my mum, shorty and meaty T.T)

L to R: Me, Daniel (the cousin that my mum takes care of), Sis, Younger bro

Studio photo taken by ourselves, hehe~

Mum & Aunt (2 sisters)

Younger bro who loves self-candid -.-ll

Youngest bro who LOVES self-candid -.-lll

After a few shots, we went outside also to start selecting the photos we wanted. The discussion about the photo size and what frame and whether want to be textured or not took the longest time!

At last.... we left the shop. The whole session took us ~ 2 hours ++.

(My legs were already aching due to the high heels by the time we left -.-ll)
