Beach Retreat with le Familia

 
Destin, FLORIDA
- Senior Year -
- Fall Break 2014 -
 
so it was when we were in our senior year.
Masa senior year ni mmg aku gigih la nk buat gathering utk batch sendiri. sebab nya lepas ni dah nk grad and confirm susah nk jumpa each other lepas ni. So aku la yg selalu initiate kan gathering ni. Selalunya aku akan arrange kan gathering once in a month. means utk birthday gathering je la. so aku akan kumpul birthdate org and celebrate each month.
tp ktorg buat potluck. since semua duduk kt apartment yg close to each other so senang la nak bwk makanan semua tu.
selalunya akan buat on Friday night or weekend. sumpah seronok gila masa tu.
Rindu la Vandy 15.
But,,,
other than celebrate birthday,
aku ada jugak plan dgn few geng utk buat vacation dgn satu batch
and location Nye of course la at the BEACH somewhere in FLORIDA!! huhuhu
Mula tu dpt tentangan jugak drp geng Usrah
tapi ktorg faham la apa concern dorg tu
and tp at the same time, serious that was last time utk gather sama.
ktorg tahu batas.
takdela nk duduk satu rumah sama2.
so ktorg mmg plan boik punye.
 
ktorg ade dua team.
satu team cari cabin (or kat Malaysia biasa org sewa homestay la)
kat sana ktorg panggil cabin je tak tahu kenapa haha.
and another team was for food &beverages
 
so team cabin ni pon cari la cabin kat FLORIDA yg dekat dgn BEACH.
tapi ktorg da pesan awal2, either cari duak cabin yg next to each other or cabin yg ada 2 rumah.
So, luckily, dorg jumpa this beach house complete dgn pool house and alsoooo ada swimming pool..!!! huhuuhu
 
Team makanan pulak ofcourse diketuai oleh iols.
gigih jugak ni plan menu for 3days and 2 nights.
pastu list kan brg nk kena beli semua.
OMG such a tiring process...
T_T
 
 
after everything da setel, ktorg pon set kan group ikut kereta and gerak la ikut kereta masing.
 
so yg team makanan ni aku ajak la 2 kete gerak sehari awal sbb nak singgah Rumah kak As. sbb kak As nk tunjuk tmpt beli brg masak and daging halal.
So after da beli semua tdo one night and then esok Nye gerak la pegi cabin ktorg.
beli mknn bnyk gila tp still takut rasa mcm tak cukup. hahah.
Owh BTW ktorg share duit ramai2 eh utk bayar cabin and food.
sorang brapa USD tah tak igt.
tapi kereta sewa  n fuel ikut kereta masing2 la.
 
So.... ktorg smpai cabin lambat. da gelap masa tu. yela sbb masa tu Fall Break kira tgh sejuk jugak and siang pendek je. so pukul 4lebih da start gelap.
tapi jalan yg OTW ke cabin tu mmg scary. jalan one lane je for each side and then sempit gila sbb kalau x silap masa tu jln tu still under construction. tu jalan lintas laut kalau x silap. so scary la takut terbabas kat laut gelap2 kang tak memasal arwah. hahha.
masa tu aku yg drive. bila ade kereta depan ni lembap sgt, aku pon buat perangai Mesia aku ni g potong. masa tu mmg tekan minyak abis2 la. member sblh pulak da jerit2 takut. hahahahha. lawak der.
 
So smpai cabin je ktorg terusss eksaiiiteddd!! best Nye ade pool.
and rupenye geng lelaki da smpai awal n dorg da swimming pon. hampeh je.
 
smpai je cabin terus unload makanan and barang and start masak mana yg ptut sbb semua da kelaparan.
pastu yg perempuan tido kat level atas. lelaki kat pool house and ade jugak yg tdo kat living room bwh depan tv.
 
owh x sempat pon amek gambar dpn cabin sbb masa last day tu ktorg lambat kemas and owner da smpai.
lepas tu owner marah gilaa sbb igt ktorg ramai sgt and parking kereta kat atas rumput dia and yg paling pntg skali dia igt korg bwh umur. hahhaha. yelaa org mesia semua kecik2. hahah lawak lawak
 
tuje la kot.
 
 
so here's few photos of us at the beach.

Washington DC - New York City - Niagara Falls

👯So yesterday I scrolled photo albums in my FB and decided to make a throwback for each holiday trip I went to, in the States.


I'm not gonna post following the date or sequence. just randomly post based on my mood. lol.
but I'll state the date or which season for each trip.

oh wait.

nope. I think I could not post all holiday trips since I just managed to save and transferred photos mostly for Washington Dc- New York Trip and West Coast Trip. lol.
because the those two trips are the most meaningful. huhuhu.

Ok so let's start with this one:

Washington Dc - New York City - Niagara Falls Holiday Trip.
- Summer Break 2014 -
(Rising Senior)

 
Actually we planned to start our journey at noon but since we need to moving out on the same day, so our plan was messed up and we were off to Washington DC at evening.

Day-One:
In Washington DC, we stayed at one of Malaysia Embassy's house. We arrived at their house in the morning (of next day). The we took shower blablabla, had breakfast then off to the city.

So this was our first checkpoint. Btw, actually K1ng_coco the one who stole my friend's style.
"Yepp Yepp"
 
 

This one tak ingat landmark ape. If I'm not mistaken, it is a museum with a castle-like building. hahah obviously kan.
 

I guess this is a duck-penguin statue. lol haha serius x igt.

We were heading to US Capitol.  Macam 1D right?? huhu
 
US Capitol (at the back, yg mcm kubah tu)

After that, we went to National Air and Space. There was no entrance fee for every one!! 
Seriously Malaysia need to provide free entrance as well for all museums. because museum is a place to gain knowledge, so it should be free in order to encourage every one (especially youngster) to go there and gain knowledge. ;)


 
Then, we went to another museum but I could not find any photos when we were in it. 
I'm not sure what type of museum it was since it had animals (of course not real, it was not a zoo), insects, mummy and hmm what else (??)
 
Seriously I could not remember since I didn't really enjoy it. huhu
I don't fancy museum, or any knowledgeable place.
I prefer to food hunting, go to big city, theme park, enjoy the ride, and flowery scenery.
other than that, just not my thang. lol
 
So, here's our picture after done with all the museum thingy.
(Hate museum!)






That's the monument!.
We were all tired and could not walk anymore. so we just took photo of monument from far.
(it was really far dude) hahaha
but sokay. I don't really mind

So that's all for day-one in Washington DC
 
Day-two,
had breakfast at the embassy then off to New York.
Checked in hotel (at New Jersey), then went to New York City!!
Luckily there's shuttle from our hotel to the city

I was busy calling nomnom n manisah because they two were left by shuttle.
hmm yeah not really shuttle, should not blame the shuttle when hmm actually it was our fault.
we were the one who left them hahaha
So sorry girls.


look at me. I was sooo happyyyy to be in the heart of New York.
The City of New York!!
Crowded place, lots of people, lots of tourist, lots of shops, lots of street vendors, lot of building and land marks.
Omaigod words could not describe how happy I was.
hahahahahahha

Acah hipster la konon hahaha thank midot snap this photo of me acah looking at the framed photos
 

actually the first check point when we were in NYC was Madame Tussaudes.
the ticket was pricey. but since every one wanted to go there and plus I thought there would be a waxwork of Christiano Ronaldo, so I was sooo excited to join them
 
from the entrance until the end, I was looking for CR, but there was no CR!!
Then I just realized there are a lot of Madame Tussaude in this world and each branch would not have the same waxworks. hmm sooo silly.
I could just save my money rather than went in the nothing-I-fancy-about-waxmusuem.


buat-buat happy. padahal dalam kepala dok cari mana la CR ni. hahahaha

Then I knew that this Cake Boss café is famous and would like to try one of their cakes.
however, due to a long queue and our wallet were getting thinner, so we decided to just take photo in front of it. huhu


the Famous landmark in NYC.
 
wait. do we call it a landmark? hahahaha what ever.
 
Times Square it is! the famous attraction in NYC
 
 
Let's move to Day-Three.
So we woke up a bit late since we were all tired!
So day-three, first, we went to Central Park.
Today we decided to bring our backpack rather than a sling handbag.
much easier.
 

 
We didn't take lots of photos at Central Park, because we didn't even explore it! hahaha
it was sooo huge and of course I'm not gonna sacrifice my leg for it. :)

after that we went to Central Park Zoo.
Seriously, you don't have to go there!
It was veryyyyyyyyyy small zoo. and the price was not affordable!
We should just skip the zoo and explore the Central Park instead. sighhhhh :(
wasted our money again.
We need to go to the zoo since we already bought the tickets before came here



luckily we bought popsicle  before enter the zoo. at least it made us happy a bit. huhu



waiting for dolphin like forever.
it didn't not show up till the end :(







if you can see, the Apple signature.


we just walked around the city.





opsss. found Vanderbilt Ave. huhu

Here's the Grand Central Terminal
Seriously, when we first entered the terminal, we were all very jakun.
felt like we were in Harry Potter's movie. hahahah

 
Day-Four.
Went to the one of the world's famous bridge, Brooklyn Bridge.


 







Then went for cruise to Liberty Island and Ellis Island














Finally...
Here we go.
Niagara Falls.
Before went back to college.
