Port Dickson!

Happie birthday Singapore! Fireworks display islandwide! Caught the NDP on TV.. as usual, the finale was the best.


Really really wish I was Rui En or Taufik on stage, the main stars of the NDP theme song. To be raised up the platform singing, with like the mass display, audience around and below you...must be an exhilarating feeling!



Just returned from Msia this afternoon, the 5 hrs train ride was really tiring! Anyway, here are some pics to share!

Sunday morning,8am train ride to Serembang...wheez, going on holiday, exciting!
Took another 1 hr taxi ride from Serembang to Port Dickson. Our chalet is called Tiara Beach Resort. However, it was not near the sea or beach as we were expected, it had a man-made beach and a HUGE swimming poolin the midst of the chalet blocks.

This was taken from my chalet window.. the swimming pool you can see is only 1/3 of the entire pool!

This is the 2/3 of the pool, the front facade is a cascading waterfall. The 2 slides you see at the side is not at all terrifying...

This is the balance 3/3 of the pool, which is the kid's section is, its very much like the Wild Wild Wet Themepark in S'pore, except I think S'pore's better!
Check out the Octupus...

Dinner at the cafe within the resort.. group photo..
The cafe had a live band, the guy singer is called George, great voice and great band.. too bad no crowd..
My food! Haha.. nothing great, but I just like the photo the way it turns out.. haha..

Monday morning, we went to the famous stretch of Port Dickson beach, unfortunately, it was deserted!! We were told it will be crowded on weekends, but certainly not on a Monday morning.. sigh.. missed the fun..
Beach wise, uh, not fantastic, but from the stalls that were lined up along the beach (deserted on Monday of course), must be a very happening place during weekends!

Nothing to do at the beach, so went to Port Dickson town.. erh, sad to say, nothing much to do, we only bought maggie mee from the supermarket for our dinner.. haha..

Spent the 2nd night playing taidi and hearts..I WON the hearts game althou it was my first time playing! I actually swept up all the hearts and Queen of Spades on my last round, by chance. I thought I lost already, when I had so many cards on hand.. haha..

In general, it was an enjoyable trip, loads of time to laze around, though the chalet was really boring (all the cars there were S'pore cars anyway, felt like I was back in a S'pore chalet). and TOO BAD our chalet was far away from the seafood!
