Another must-read Confessions

As I was walking around in a bookstore, I found this book:

CONFESSIONS OF A WEDDING PLANNER

It did not take me more than 2 minutes to decide on buying it.

As the News of the World had described it as a 'must-have book for any bride-to-be', I did not even have a second thought whatsoever.

Without looking at the price, I headed to the cashier. Let's see in about a week time, what will I find out about wedding planners.

Or more like the truth behind the scene of a wedding preparation. Tunggu.

My long lost love

I have been in love with Prince William, since I was small. I adored him so much, as much as my mother had adored his mother, the late Princess Diana. I read almost all Hello magazines to follow the story of that royal family. I even remembered his birthday, 21 June (Our birthday falls on the same month :p). I told myself (and everybody else in my family) that one day, I am gonna marry Prince William. Haha..

Everybody tried to tell me that it is impossible to happen, apart from both of us came from two different parts of the world, two different countries, different lifestyles, it is almost impossible for me to even meet him to say ‘hello’, I have to bear in mind that we also have different religion. He is going to be a king some day, and he cannot be a muslim for him to hold the throne. But, nothing brings the dream to an end. No kidding ok, I was at least 10% convinced that it COULD happen.

I went to study in the UK, chose to study in Wales, since William Wales was the son of Prince of Wales. Tak der kene mengena kan. Hehe.. Although we have never crossed each other’s path, we finally decided to get married, although not to each other, but in the same year, Spring 2011.

We got engaged in a gap of two weeks, and I think it was very much co-incidence that we happen to have the same engagement ring. Well, almost the same, I would say. (Jodoh yang tak kesampaian ;))

hers from the side

mine from the side

hers from the top

mine from the top

OK, tak lah sama sangat, design is about the same, difference is, her saphire is oval, mine is round, and of coz la her ring is berpuluh-puluh ribu pounds :) and her jari is kurus and long, mine is pendek and fat.

Baik lah, kene kuruskan badan :)

Felda Hot Springs, Sungkai

Okay, how many of us had really taken the opportunity to visit our very own hot springs? Honestly, I have never thought that we have such place to visit here in Malaysia.


We have one in each Ulu Legong, Kedah, Langkawi, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Sabah and the most famous one is in Sungai Klah, Sungkai Perak (1 day is definitely not enough). We booked a villa with three huge bedrooms.

the hall

one of the bedrooms (there are two os such bedroom size in the villa)

the kitchen area, well, you can cook too...

Dalam villa, ada private pool. You can turn the water to hot water (which comes from the hot springs) or to cold water (from the mountain)

There is also a spacious area for your to do BBQ while berendam.

This is a fish pond just opposite our villa.

Bila bagi makan, begitu lah kerenah ikan.

Berjalan kaki ke cafe nearby for breakfast.

Peta inside the area

Ali test water, panas ke tak

 The first kolam that we went was hot water pool. Ok la, tak lah hot mana. But seronok jugak bermandi manda.

This is the source of the hot water for this pool. Notice the sign board is written 'BAHAYA'. Ali said it is really hot. But still ok la..

Ali berani sangat la mandi at the 'BAHAYA' area.

Algae is said to be very good to cure skin disorders, fractures, and quite a number of other penyakit, but i cant remember.

Oleh kerana algae dikatakan bagus, Mak Jah pon letak kat seluruh muka :)

Ini rupanya kacip fatimah!

 Selepas mandi di hot water, we went to the next area di mana airnya lebih panas. BOILING hot ok. Sebab tu boleh merebus telur.

Brought satu papan of telur and rebus semuanya..

Seriously, it tasted better than normal boiled eggs. Probably the suphur in the water yang buat the telur sedap.

You definitely cannot put your leg in the boiling water, but you can only stand on the rocks.. Still panas, I cannot tahan.

Notice the temperature?

The water was not boiling, but hot enough to make your feet turn rosy.

 OK, puas mandi and rendam dalam air panas, we went to mandi air gunung pulak. SEJUKKKKK..

Panas pun sudah, sejuk pun sudah, we went for therapy.

Not only the batu is painful, but the air on it was also damn hot.

This is not so hot, probably dalam 30 C.

I remember my bestfriend used to put Temu Lawak on her face, so this is how it looks like, ok

 Haaa... yang bawah ni paling best.

Kita bukan saja-saja je baring. Under this pondok, mengalirlah air about 100C. once in a while wap nya naik ke atas, macam sauna la gitu. BEST. Terasa perut kempis after half an hour :p

Just outside the hotel area, ada makcik ni jual kelapa and pisang goreng, termasuk cempedak goreng. BEST GILER.

Oh, they have a delivery service too for the kuih-kuih, sent directly to the villa. :) Kalau terasa nak makan best, you can also order from this lady, they can cook and deliver to your door. Best kan?

Tempat ni memang best for families or a group of friends to go and chill. bring your BBQ set, or you can also use theirs. The idea is to chill.

Room rates about RM1k during peak per night, so I guess off peak it is about RM600 to RM800. But memang worth it, because of the space, the facilities and ammenities. It is about 1.5 hrs drive from KL. They also have day trip passes about RM 6-10.

Oh, I would definitely go again!!!
