Elephant Trunk Hill, Fubo Cave & Tea House (Day 1)

Tempat pertama yang kami lawati selain Endian Halal Restaurant was the Elephant Trunk Hill. Halal Restaurant ni insya-Allah Ayu cerita lain entry. Sejarah Elephant Trunk Hill ni lebih kurang macam ni:

The famous Elephant Trunk Hill

Ada sekumpulan gajah2 yang datang ke tempat ni (before it was named as an Elephant Trunk Hill) Gajah2 ni jatuh cinta pandang pertama dengan pemandangan yang ada disini. When it was their time to go home, they refuse sebab dah terlalu suka dengan kawasan tersebut. Some gajah tu pun mengabdikan diri dekat kawasan tu and they turned themselves to stone. Kira this is the powerful elephant la. This was the story yang Ayu dengar from Crstal but when I googled around, lain plak ceritanya. Tak tau la maybe Ayu yg salah dengar or x paham english dia kot, Lantaklah! You can read it here for another version of the history. 



Tak nampak plak hill tu dekat belakang.

So basically ape yang ada dekat sini? Gajah la ape lagi. Kekeke. Scenery la and you'll be amazed that the hill looks like an elephant yang sedang minum air. Other than that, nothing much.

This one otw to the other side.





Rasa macam dekat statue Winter Sonata plak

Next, the Fubo Hill plak.  Nothing much here. Semua nothing much heh!  Ayu pun dah tak sabar nak check in hotel at that time. Nak mandi!!! So basically dalam ni x de ape sangat pun. Ada orang jual2 souvenirs etc. As mentioned earlier, tak beli pape pun. Jalan2 saje. 

Entrance to Fubo Hill

Actually ada je sejarah tentang sword ni but like I said, I'm not paying attention.

Down here ada orang jual-jualan. Gitu



According to Crystal, temperature dalam cave ni always the same no matter what season we were. Dalam ni memang sejuk sikit la. Kebetulan time tu baru lepas hujan plak kan.

Macam ni jela dalam dia


Then last skali before checking in, melawat ke Tea House. 

Masuk2 Tea House ada decoration macam ni. So tradisional

This looks like kedai minum teh where you can have your tea and chit chat with your friends

This is our room. =)

Dekat sini dia ada beri penerangan tentang pelbagai jenis teh China. Ada la dalam 3 kali kot dia kasi kita rasa teh yang berlainan jenis. Dia ada juga kasi some kudap-kudapan untuk kita merasa. Diaorang jual la tu. 


This was the first tea they were serving and I like this one. Teh selepas itu biasa2 je rasanya

Teh yang Ayu suka tu, pokok dia yang belah kanan dalam gambar tu.

Habis selesai penerangan tentang teh, sesi jual beli plak. Yang peliknya. Diaorang macam tak boleh terima kalau kita tak membeli. Suka hati la kan nak beli ke tak nak. Bila tak beli, datang tanya2 lagi semacam memaksa kami untuk beli. Kalau macam tu, lagila kita orang x nak beli kan? Sudah! 

So, siapa yang beli belah, belilah kan. Kami memang tak membeli pun. Then naik bus, dinner dekat restaurant yang sama time lunch tadi, and terus check in. 

Malam after Maghrib, klua balik for sight seeing + shopping. Pergi mall berdekatan dengan hotel kami. Kitaorang cari mainan Faris actually. Tapi dalam mall tu, tak jumpa plak mainan yang kami cari tu. 

Guilin at night. So obvious baru lepas hujan kan?
Tak perasan sungguh seluar Faris terangkat gitu. Ok plak dia. Nasib baik tak selsema ke ape

Dah sudah tu, jalan2 lagi dalam mall tu. Jam tangan dalam mall tu mahal lagi dari KL. Gap dalam RM200 jugak la. Tertengok jam tangan sebab jumpa model jam tangan yang Ayu hadiahkan 5rz time bertunang hari tu. Anyway, anyway, after that 5rz ajk klua dari mall and jalan2 dekat luar. Mencari kedai toys untuk Faris but still tak jumpa. So, we went back to the hotel and rest. Esok pagi nak checked out balik. Nak ke tempat lain plak. So, see you Day 2.

Holiday : Guilin, China (Day 1)

Ok let's start. Tapi Ayu rasa sure terkedek-kedek gak nak update cite pasal holiday ni. Huwaaaa :'(

Our flight was scheduled at 0640 hours on 4th April 2012, Thursday. Wednesday tu still tak packing lagi and still ada je barang yang tak beli lagi. No good I know but what to do? Kerja bertimbun dekat office. I know kerja memang tak kan habis but I have a deadline to meet, so that's why. 

So anyway, after went back from office on Wednesday tu, terus shoot ke JJ for last minutes shopping. Then balik je terus Ayu pulun packing. Habis packing kul 12 malam. Dah kira hari Khamis dah tu. Then Ayu nak lelap kan mata kejap since letih sangat. Kul 2 pagi nak bertolak. Itu pun Ayu tak betul2 tdo. Lelap mata je lebih. Faris plak sebelum dia tdo that night, Ayu dah siap tukarkan baju dia. So by the time nak g airport, angkat dukung je dia without waking him up.

On our way to the airport, sempat la Ayu lelap like half an hour dalam keta. Jadi la but still tak cukup of course. After arrived at the airport, tunggu En. Nik (pemandu pelancong kami) then check in. Dah check in terus masuk dalam and tunggu la before departure. 

Look at my face. Muka x cukup tido



By that time, Faris dah bangun. Perfect time nak sumbat susu time take off. This one untuk elakkan telinga bayi sakit. After 4 hours in flight, alhamdulillah we safely landed in Guilin, China. We meet Crystal (our tourist guide dekat sana). Straight away bawa kami lunch ke halal restaurant di Guilin. Tak banyak halal restaurant di sana but still ada, no worries. On our way to the restaurant, Crystal cerita serba sedikit sejarah Guilin. According to Crystal, nama Guilin bermaksud forest of flower. Kira Gulin banyak flower la. Flower yang dimaksudkan ialah Osmanthus flowers. Go google in case tak tau. Tapi sayangnya, time kami pergi, bunga tak dela banyak mana. Bukan musim agaknya.

Matahari baru nak memunculkan diri. Dah kate flight after Subuh

Alolo comei Aisy senyum gitu

Faris baru bangun tdo

After lunch, prayer time. Mosque very near to the restaurant. 3 min walk. Did our prayer then shoot to Elephant Trunk Hill. Aaa this one je Ayu sempat google dalam internet. Tempat lain semua Ayu tak sempat nak google tengok macam mane. 

At airport Guilin

Spent like 45 mins dekat Elephant Trunk Hill, then terus ke Fubo Hill. Nothing much dekat sini since I'm not paying attention at all. Dah penat. Lepas tu, pergi minum teh cina plak. Then kami dibawa to early dinner ke Endian Halal Restaurant skali lagi. After that checked in. Yeay finally boleh landing atas katil. Bear in mind yang kami semua tak tdo and mandi ye hari tu. Euwww I know. Hehehe. Lepas check in, Ayu terus rendam badan dengan air panas. Mandi package skali dengan Faris senang. Jimat masa, jimat time dan juga jimat cost. Then siap2 nak g sight seeing + shopping. Sight seeing around that area je. Jalan kaki je pun.

Masih tak jumpa dengan ape yang kami cari, we went back to the hotel. But seriously dekat sana, shopping sangat murah. Kasut boot dekat sana 60 Yuan = RM 30. Cantik2 plak tu. Murah kan? Mata wang sana senang je. Harga asal in Yuan bahagi 2 then dapat la harga in Malaysia. Kalau harga bag tu 100 Yuan, in RM would be RM 50. Senang kan? Tak payah pening kepala. 

So total burn on day 1 = 0 since kami tak start shopping lagi.

Berebut Nak Potong Kek

Happy Birthday to my husband. Hehe tak de kena mengena dengan tajuk. Hari ni birthday dia. This post nak cerita pasal lain but not my husband's birthday. Ok enough of the introduction.

Ni kejadian time birthday Faris last month. Biasalah budak2 berebut nak potong kek. 

After lagu Happy Birthday habis dinyanyikan, tetiba si Akif (my nephew) berebut nak potong kek. Ayu ajak potong skali dengan Faris tapi dia x mau. Tamak kau Akif! Sampai menangis-nangis nak potong kek. Faris cool je. Nasib baik. Kalau x, macam mane tu? 


Ok dia dah siap pegang pisau tu ha

Letak skali dengan tangan Faris, dia nangis

Faris tengok je kau Akif. Hehe

Ambiklah, ambiklah


Alolo sian Faris. Faris ok je kan?

 So, kek Faris dipotong oleh Akif dahulu instead of Faris. Sian anak ibu. It's ok kan Faris? Lepas Akif potong kek, barula dia puas. Then barulah giliran Faris. Faris pun macam tak mengerti pape pun. Just go with the flow. Im sure kejadian macam ni selalu je kan terjadi. Like I said earlier. Budak2.


Ni after selamat selesai all the kenduri.

Time ni dia baru dapat kaki. Berjalan jela kerjanya

Insya-Allah next week la ye Ayu start review about my family trip to Guilin. Till then.

Faris Birthday Celebration

Ni cerita basi dan busuk!

We celebrate Faris first birthday a week earlier because we tumpang kenduri SIL masuk rumah baru. Since the birthday celebration was a tumpang kenduri one, I cannot plan much for Faris. Actually macam2 dalam pale otak nak buat itu ini untuk dia but x pelah. Less is more. Ceh!! 


The cake

Tepi2 tu pun ada letak gambar Faris

The personalized t-shirt. Kaki ayah, kaki ibu dah Faris

The goodies

Kenduri doa selamat start at 10 in the morning and when it's time for lunch, the guys started to bakar the kambing. We did Faris aqiqah as well. Birthday party starts at 1500 hours. Ayu sempat tempah cake and personalized t-shirt and beli gula2 sikit for goodies. Itu jela yang termampu.

Rasanya Faris berminat tengok api tu je.



Ramai tetamu yang datang tak tahu pun kami sambut birthday Faris skali sebab kami memang x kecoh2 sangat.  Dah kate tumpang kenduri. Buat plak kat umah SIL. So most of them tanya 'Birthday siapa ni?' And because of that also, Faris gets more cash rather than hadiah toys etc. Ha lagi valuable Faris kalau dapat cash. Toys banyak2 pun semakkan rumah je nanti. Nanti ibu simpan all the money dalam account Faris ye. 

Faris ngantuk dah time ni


Family photo

Jangan lupa asingkan tulang aqiqah dengan sampah yang lain ye

Both cake and the personalized t-shirt I ordered online.  Both services was good but the cake was a bit dry for my liking. Personalized t-shirt, I ordered from here.

Dining Review : Sri Ayutthaya

Before Ayu cerita pasal our family vacation, let me just clear kan all the posts that supposedly publish went I was away for the past last week. 

One normal night, 5rz ajak dinner kat Sri Ayutthaya. Memang Ayu dah lama teringin nak makan sini cuma rasa takut nak makan sini sebab tempat dia tengok dari luat terlalu 'class' bagi kami. Kira high standard punya tempat la. Every time nak pergi mesti last2 takut nak masuk sebab takut tak cukup duit nak membayar. Haha :D

Suasana dalam tu




Kat luar tu tempat duduk dia besar sangat. It was actually raining time ni

Candle light dinner? Jadi la. :)

But anyway, one night tu, kami bedal jela. Bila lagi nak try kan? We the one guest yang ada malam tu. How romantic was that huh? But then later came one whole Korean family having dinner next to our table. The interior design cantik, lighting cantik, ambiance good, food delicious, services pun bagus! 


Pineapple juice, 5rz punya 


Air kelapa Ayu punya

Tom yam campur


Telur ape ntah namanya ni. Ni sedap!

Total damage untuk semua di atas termasuk 2 pinggan nasi putih, less than RM 100. Boleh la sekali sekala kan? Recommended? Yes.
