Love for life: December 2008

Actually, the both of us seldom watch movies in the cinema. Sometimes, we could even gone up to a year without watching a movie, often not remembering the title of the last show that we had watched. Yap, watching movies are expensive these days, but I get to watch free because I had so many free movie vouchers. Maybe, we just preferred shopping then to watch movies.

Anyway, today we watched Bolt at Yishun. This must have been the third animations that we had watched after Kungfu Panda and Wall.E.

Well, Bolt is a nice show about this truely loyal "superdog" who would always save its master when she is in danger. I must say that all dogs or animals lovers should not miss this show. I rate this show a 4 out of 5.

Go catch the show, it will be well worth your ticket price.

Date : 09 to 11 Dec 2008

Basically, there is really nothing at Desaru. At the same time, we went on a monsoon seasons. which means no sea sports.

There are some places of "interests" like the Fruit Farm, the Crocodile Farm, Ostrich Farm etc; but all seems boring except for the fruit farm. Nearby Desaru are also the Waterfall and a place called Pengerang which is famous for its many restaurants serving seafood like lobster. However, we are basically "trap" at Desaru as the transport to these places are cut-throat. It cost RM110 for a 30-min ride to / fro Pengerang. Bearing that, they charges RM15 / per hour for the waiting time. So if we spend 2-hour there, it would have cost us RM140 for the transport.

In the end, we went for the fruit farm and a boat tour to see fireflies. Ya... Singaporeans very 山龟, must pay to go see some flies. No pics to show because every way is just so dark. Had fun because the children on board with us are so lively.

Anyway, we took the ferry from Changi Ferry Terminal which provides ample free parking spaces. The boat ride took only 30-min. On the same trip as us are some TCS artistes, Pan Lingling and her family. Also on the ferry are 郭亮 and his son. They also stayed at the same resort as ours.

Us. Before boarding the ferry.

First thing we did when we arrived is to check out the sea. Disappointment. I dun mind the rough sea, but the sea seems even dirtier than Singapore.

Our only source of food is at the resort's coffeehouse. They serve very salty food. Here is my dear impatiently waiting for her food... wow hahaha....

Here it comes. Food and chips for RM20. Quite ok price. Our first meal on the resort.

This is our first time playing table-tennis together. Ha.... nothing much to do. So, have a few games to pass time.

Went Fruit Farm in the afternoon. Only the two of us and we have a private tour guide. RM25 per pax. While I was taking pictures of myself with those durians......

.. my dear feeds the many koi.

They also have a mini-zoo with some ostrichs. Nothing much here also. Most of the fruit trees are pretty common and can be found locally, like the jackfruits, drangonfruit etc.......

View from our room.

Pool. Another activity we played to pass time.

Day two of our trip are spent at the resort itself. Went to the beach in the morning to enjoy the sea breeze and I get wet inside the water playing with the strong wave. Ha.. I love playing with wave.

After the sea, took a dip at the swimming pool before going for our spa. Cost us RM450 for a couple. 45-min of massage and 45-min scrub. Dinner and drinks are included as well. Too bad din took any pics.
