DisneyWorld Part II - Animal kingdom

DisneyWorld Part II - Animal Kingdom

The nextday (9th March), we went to animal kingdom first and arrived early before the gate opened. And the crowd had already started to grow.

The park opened with greetings by mickey, minney, and frens wearing camp outfits (on a slow moving jeep). From wat i heard from voices in d crowd, most of the em were headed to "Africa". We decided to go to Dinoland first, the nearest and possibly less crowd.

 in Dinoland... as u can see.. no crowd yet :P

After dat. we went to "India".

And went on this famous ride in Animal kingdom *(a must do) - called Expedition Everest.

 I took pictures and video while riding on this coaster... hoho....



So.. hey, I've reached the summit of everest! Huahuahua....

Love the details....

Next, Africa.

DisneyWorld - Part 1

The Spring Break trip's (March 2011) main destination is Orlando, Florida (Fl.) but how each of us plan to spend our time there was made flexible by the organizer.

We moved from campus on Sat, midnight, reaching Jacksonville, FL on Sunday morning, where we spent the day in Kennedy Space Centre. Evening, we went down south to Orlando, checked in our hotel, and for the following 4 days we were given a few options on how we'd like to have the trip. The organizers did encourage to take the 2-days pass to Disneyworld, coz if we had enough people, the group rate wud be cheaper for each individuals. Of course, some didnt. There are a lot more other fun things to look fwd to in Orlando, which include SeaWorld, Universal Studios, some other fun parks like Wet n Wild, Ripleys.. etc. You have to have more than a week if  you were to cover all of these places.

First.... I was not very keen on going to Disney as I thot I am over the disney phase of life. Man... I couldnt be more wrong...

After considering it... I opted for the Disney 2 days pass....

Fyi, Disneyworld is very huge, compared to Disneyland (California). Both are special in their own ways, Disneyland being the original and Disneyworld for being huge (and has many more parks).

There are 4 major theme parks in Disneyworld - [Magic Kingdom], [Animal Kingdom], [Disney's Hollywood Studios], and [Epcot]. I was determined to cover all of them since the 2 days pass allow us to hop in between parks for 2 days. So, I thought, 2 parks a day can be possible. I didnt  have friends when I first joined the trip, but met some in the process :-) At first, Uyanga and Xinrong both planned to just go for 1 day Disney trip and then decide on next, later. But, if they were to do that, it will not be as efficient as they will only be allowed to do one park a day, and it costs around $80+ per day for one park... whereas it's only arnd $130 for 2 days park hopper (can hop between parks). I seduced them into joining the 2days pass, and go together to try cover all 4 parks in 2 days.....and yey! We did!

First day started a bit late as we had to wait for all the rest to gather (causing some delay), as well as there was some ticketing problem that cost us some time as well. As soon as we got our tickets (at the ticketing centre), the 3 of us ran to the bus area, to catch next bus to Disney's MGM Hollywood Studios. Felt like we were in a Amazing Race or some sort.. haha.

*shuttle bus within these parks are free.

the centre of MGM studios (the magic hat is the centrepiece for this park),

Pixar studios, Disney animations
the Indiana Jones show - best gile

I carried a pamplet that has map of each of the parks. So every park we 'touched down', we go by the map. This was to ensure all parts of the parks were covered :P However, we were not able to go on all rides. Actually, it was almost impossible as it was during SpringBreak, crowd was crazy and most of the Rides have almost more than an hour waiting Time! We were not going to waste our time waiting. Though some Rides seemed to be interesting, but they are merely Rides.... more or less like any other Rides in theme parks. Ok... ok....  but with some interesting twist to it lar. I would have taken all the rides if I had one whole week to spend in Disneyworld :P Anyway, we did cover all the places, managed to catch some shows (ouh, I especially love the Indiana Jones show... coz I love Indiana movies so so much since I was a kid), hop on some rides and took a lot of pictures :-)

We arrived at this park at around 10.30am and left the park at around 1pm...... and headed back (by bus) to the Ticketing Centre.... our next destination was Magic Kingdom, and we had to take either a monorail or a ferryboat from the Ticketing Centre to this park.

Monorail sounds faster.......but oh wait... we toook the ferryboat :P

... because the monorail was closed for a while when we arrived.... No waiting policy, we went straight to the dock, and it took about 10minutes before the next ferry came, and about 15minutes to get to Magic Kingdom. It was just perfect.... at least we get to take the ferry ride. Wonderful ride, it was windy in the scorching sun and excitement racing through my inner childly imaginations as the boat get nearer to our destination.

I was so excited.... Ouh I felt like a Kid again....

the Main street Philharmonic was playing when we arrived.

as I walked to the centre... where the Magic Castle stands...

suddenly... I felt some drop of tears.....

I miss my niece and nephew so much!!!!!! This is something I would love to do with my family. Then, I remember my unfulfilled promise to my niece to bring her to Universal Studios Singapore.... ouh, it breaks my heart! :( And I am here all by myself.......... *cricket sounds...**

I was awaken by the sound of the moving crowd, kids shouting in joy. I quickly got back on my feet. Ouh, I was not going to ruin the day... so I decided to enjoy to the fullest... on their behalf too rite, hehe... and also, the child in me deserve it just as much :P

Back to disney advnture.

We got another pamplet from the park, that listed all shows / attractions, and we were just in time for the "Dream Along with Mickey" show, that took place at the Magic Castle.  So kiutt.. hihihhi.... njoyed it very much :D

After the show, we proceeded to another area but keeping close to the 'parade trails' as the Parade was just an hour away. We got a shady spot, and waited... and there they were again.

Then we spent the rest of the day in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is sooo big, hoho... adeh... and has the most attractions compared to other parks.

The crowd was just crazy...... too many people @_@ but well... we brushed through anyway. Again, some of the rides could take forever just for waiting. We did some rides and went in for some shows, we even enjoyed ourselves with the flashmob they had.

And nite folds in.....

Its time for the Main Street Electrical Parade.

It was getting chilly.... but everyone waited in patience, getting a good spot to see the parade. Fortunately, it was worth the wait (sambil mengetap bibir kesejukan)... :D

Then the fireworks!

The problem was, we were told to be at the bus parking lot (which is at the ticketing area)... by 9.30pm. I kinda feel it was a bit inconsiderate since magic kingdom opens until midnight. They could have made it 10.30pm or 10pm.... because the "Wishes Nighttime Spectacular" (fireworks) starts at 9pm every night, and take about 15 minutes.

Would we have enough time to get back in 15minutes time??? We didnt even know how long the monorail would take to get back to the ticketing centre... but we took the risk... confident that we would make it on time. So we quickly strategized our exit plan. We started to walk back on Main street heading towards the exit but making sure we didnt lose sight of the magic castle, where the fireworks would be fired from. Main Street has a good view..... but the challenge is the thousand or zillions of people in the crowd...so we really had to tiptoe or find the best angle.

As the fireworks splashed some colors in the dark sky....we walked... we stopped to admire.. then we walked again... until we were quite near the exit.

It was a perfect ending for the day!!

We waited until the firework show officially ended.. Looking at each other....
.....

"Ok.... LET's RUN FOR IT"

And we ran.... the crowd were moving too, some walking fast to reach the exit... but we ran like we were running for our lives... hahaha... while searching for the monorail....and raced to the monorail. We got in the monorail, without having to wait in a long queue... constantly checking the time.
9.20pm.

We walked fast / ran a lil back to the bus, and we made it right on time 9.30pm sharp! Haha....

But... we had to wait for others, who came after 10mins and the last guy... it was 10pm++ by the time he made it to the bus. Then we were informed that for the next day, our bus would not be driving us there, instead we could catch a shuttle bus from the hotel. Only then, we knew there was free bus service going to/from the hotel, and the latest bus from the ticketing place was at 11pm. What? why weren't we informed earlier? Hmmm.... welll..... it's ok... We did really utilize our time to the best and did everything we wanted, so no regrets there. Kinda adventurous now that I think of it.... hahahaha....

amazing race asia, anyone? :P

How to make and improvise Sambal Telur.....

It started from this picture of my sambal telur.... which I think look very premature, I mean it's still in the pan... so cincai looking.... But Jessie got teruja with this and wanted to make Sambal Telur too... to surprise her hubby some more... I was so flattered. She wanted my recipe... auwww...

I took the recipe from a few web... I was reading a few recipes and picked out ingredients that r available and suited me, cewah :P... since some igredients are hard to get here. So I came up with my own version...and I didnt have it written anywhere.. so when she asked, I quickly came up with a recipe... and passed to her.

And... while making the sambal, she did her very own alteration and came up with her version of sambal... which I think loooked more Sexy and tempting....

Alteration are needed as some ingredients here i.e. the chillies do not 'taste' the same like back home.. not as spicy  or etc. the trick with sambal would be playing around with the amount of chillies ( i think) ... which I myself havent mastered yet :P But the experiments we had... between Jessie and I.. was fun... haha... the recipe keep improvising....

Ok so here's the edited original message of recipe I sent her...
haha as you can see, the writing is not professional... not food blog worthy :)) Hahaha
manglish some more wor... waakakaka...

Main Ingredients:

~ 4-5 hard boiled eggs... fry for a while... until kulit kembang2 a bit :P
~ 4 potatoes- cut into smaller pieces... fry lightly

Sambal Ingredients:

~12 pieces of dried chili (cabai kering) - cut, boil a while to get rid most of the biji2, then blend....

~Red Onions... depends how many u want em.. cut em into small pcs
 (if med sized onion- use one, you have shallots, use 3-4-)

 Method:

-Heat Oil on heated pan
-Add the blended chilli.... kacau-kacau until naik bau... haha (stir well..)
-Add the red onion... stir until onion becomes yellowish/masak
-Add air asam... if u dont have this.. its ok.. but if u still want a bit of masam taste, can replace with squashed tomato (use 1 here)
- add some maggi chicken granules (Jessie's touch :P)
-Add the eggs and potatoes.... stir stir n keep stirring... please shake and sing too if u like.
- add hot water a bit...just to make sure sambal not too dry.
-Add salt a bit too
-Add santan (coconut milk).... and stir the sambal until all kacau nicely...
- try taste sikit, if too pedas for u, alter by adding sugar a bit n water
-let be on heat for a while... then wokay.. stopppp

U can present the sambal, by cutting the each egg into two... (dont cut before cooking, if not all come out :P) if u have celery or daun bawang, can add as hiasan haha....

Evolusi memasak di lembah amarika sarikat...

Mari kita cakap pasal memasak....

Once upon a time, saya adalah 'agak' rajin memasak... especially sambal, dan sambal udang saya adalah disukai ibu. Tetapi ianya berubah!! apabila penyakit keliatan menular dalam diri saya kerana diri ini begitu bergelumang dalam dunia siber dan dunia menjadi seorang pelajar (dan juga dunia tapau-menapau, dok hostel...). Akibatnya, feel itu agak lari. Tapi saya sentiasa memasang niat untuk kembali ke arena dapur dan masak memasak... 

Sejurus selepas saya tersadai kt lembah amarika ni sorang-sorang, maka nya... haruslah menjadi rajin memasak. Hahahhaa... kasihan diriku.... dah takdak makanan dimasak ibu, nasik kandaq, pasemboq, thai tomyam, ikan bakar dan sewaktu dengannya. Adalah sgt wajar saya menangis dan meraung sekuat hati kerana terbiasa hidup dalam sorga makanan yakni di pulau pinang, pulau mutiara.. Tetapi tidak... anak pak kassim ini kekal tegar dan mula mengushar2 alternatip-alternatip yang ada. Pada mulanya, sebelum tiba di sini, beliau agak bersedia untuk berubah menjadi vegetarian selama 6 bulan kerana tidak dpt mengagak situasinya bagaimana. Siap kononnya, mahu membawa nasi impit dalam peket sebab takut tidak jumpa nasik... walhal hakikatnya, berlambak-lambak dan bermacam-macam jenis beras dan nasik ready-on-microwave di walmart dan swaktu dengannya. Nasib baik tidak dibawak bungkusan kecil nasi impit itu dalam luggage, tak pasal-pasal nanti ditahan imigresen disangkakan dadah jenis baru :S

Pada minggu kedua, peralatan memasak telah dibeli...

Attempt masak Paleolitik:
Salmon Sausage di potong-potong + Tuna  --> dimasak dgn sos cili dan kicap dan bawang
di-iringi sayuran yg ditabur italian dressing.

Bertambah indah hidupku apabila mengetahui kedai "gandhi international market" berada berdekatan rumah saya, menjual barang-barang dari India dan jugak Asia tenggara. Di situ telah ku jupe frozen roti paratha a.k.a roti canai made in malaysia lagi u.... terubat duka lara. Di situ juga terdapat beberapa jenis rempah ratus yang boleh digunakan... tidak perlu risau pasal kari lagi, tidak perlu ibubapaku mengepos serbuk kari cap Alagappa's atau Baba's.

Evolution memasak kita trus melompat ke zaman neolitik:
Salmon sausage lagi.... (nampak sangat masih ketandusan bekalan ketika itu)...

Dimasak dengan smoked oysters dengan BBQ sauce.... alamak.... sedap la plak..... tahniah! :P Di iringi dengan sup ayam cambell, yg dibawa dr Mesia (dlm peket).

Dan mereka yang prihatin telah membawa ku ke Halal Market di mana aku mendapatkan bekalan ayam-ayam ku... dan baru-baru ini di kedai Gandhi itu juga telah mempunyai bekalan daging dan ayam frozen dari supplier muslim....makanya bolehlah berjalan sendiri mendapatkan ayam dan daging itu beserta rempah beratus ratus :)

Telah kita memasuki zaman besi sekarang.....
Kari Ayam... tapi ketika ini menggunakan kari yang sedia dalam botol... tapi ditambah sedikit dengan bebrapa bahan lain supaya karinya menjadi kari yang lebih kaw mengikut citarasa saya...
di-iringi Terung masak kicap.... i lyke... hahahaha...

Dan... zaman semakin maju... kerana mempunyai lebih dari 2 lauk... hahaha

Dan dituruti lagi dengan pelbagai percubaan lain.... termasuk kari ayam yang lebih original... (tapi saya masih merasakan rempah kari Shan itu tidak sesedap rempah kari Alagappas mahupun Baba's) tapi bersyukurlah jumpa rempah kari ayam, toksah komplen2 ok... :P

Tetapi ada sesuatu masih tidak lengkap.....

Sambal! Ya sambal..... dan tidak ada sambal peket yang ku temui di sini.. oleh sebab itu...

zaman pemodenan: ku mendapatkan sebijik blender yg comel... blender yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk membuat smoochies.... telah menjadi blender cili ku... harharhar....

.. akhirnya bahan2 yg ku perlukan telah ada!!! yey! sambal telur :D

Begitu teruja tak tunggu letak di pinggan... hahahhaa..

Lepas ni boleh lah masak lebih byk sambal...wee... sambal Udang... yahuuu... dah beli udang! mahai udang dia kt sini... menci i! Oh ya, dan jugak masak daging... yeahh...

dan of cos, sekali sekala memasak spageti dan sewaktu dengannya, kerana bahan-bahannya lebih mudah didapati ;-)


Kesimpulannya, walaupun saya adalah tidak Terer or terror memasak ...
tetapi berkat skil memasak basic suatu ketika dahulu.... adalah amat membantu saya dalam meneruskan hidup seharian di sini... memasak adalah lebih menjimatkan dan juga memuaskan hati (sedap tak sedap i sowang je tau, hahahhahaha).

So...gadis-gadis, jejaka-jejaka, bapak bapak ibu ibuk semuanya...jgn heran kalau leena sedang goyang...
oppps....
silap lirik :P
yaa.. gadis-gadis, jejaka-jejaka semuanyaaa... marilah rajin -rajin menjenguk dapur untuk kecerahan masa hadapan di arena masak memasak ;-)

Sekian... tenkiuuuu....

jom ke DuPont State Forest plak...

Howdy blogiedy.... Since hiking has made its way to my heart (fuyyoo...) as one of my current 'hobbies'... I decided to look for similar activities here. :D It does feel good to 'struggle', "sweat" and 'smell', to be in touch with nature :-) and bonus point if these places have spectacular views. perfekto!

Hiking kt Malaysia- the weather, Hot and humid, rainy sometimes. So, when u hike, u sweat a lot.... For me, it makes me feel so healthy and bergaya gituh (while hiking and exercising only, hate it when it happens in daily life :P). Having said that, I wouldn't say I dont like it otherwise... (pulak dah :P) Kinabalu climb was superfun because its colder and u dont really sweat as much, until Laban Rata... but it was too cold for my likings from LabanRata to the top, about 2-4celcius I think? gigilllll....

I joined a hiking trip organised by an outdoor group in the campus. They organise trips for small group of people  - usually around 9-11 slots, depending on the activity.

We went to the DuPont State Forest, near a place known as FlatRock village located in Hendersonville N.Carolina. Its about 2-3 hours drive from Charlotte. There were 11 of us. I was worried I might not able to keep up as I have not been in shape or in good stamina lately.... but it was ok since it was a mild hike, not very strenuous kind.

The sceneries are just breathtaking! This place is known for its beautiful waterfalls.
Upper Left: Triple Falls. Upper Right: High Falls.
Lower LEft: getting nearer to the triple falls. Lower Right: The HighFalls upclose.

ashlyn, mallory and i with Highfalls as background.

So Tempting... feel like nak melompat masukkk.... but water was freeezing cold. nehi nehiiii

Kuda breed "Tennesse walker"... cara dia jalan adalah sgt seksi okk
Besides hiking, people come for horseriding, fishing and  mountain biking as well....

 

Further up: Covered Bridge

After HighFalls, we followed the trail that goes pass covered bridge (which is on top of the HighFalls), and hike to this Lake, known as Lake Dense. Cantekknyee... if only airnya tak sejuk banget.

 

Ayaq clearrr kaan!

After spending an hour plus here, for lunch, solat (for me) and sunbathing :))... we headed to the next and final falls for our trip that day, the Grassy Creek Falls

Left Upper,Lower: at Lake Dense

Right: Grassy Creek Falls (the final waterfalls)

Then we followed a different trail back to HighFalls. From there, we hiked back using the same trail we came from back to the parking lot!

It was tiring... what more with the bulky camera I brought along... which I'm glad I did :-) Coz the sceneries are too good to pass for shots :P

On way back.... lotsa Farmvilles along the road :D

It was a great experience.

The weather was good dat day, temperature around 10-12 celcius, not too windy and not too sunny... just nice :D

The trail for the day:

Yellow line: trailing forward
Pinky line: trailing back.
Arrows: The stops :-
Triple Falls, High Falls, Covered Bridge, Lake Dense, and Grassy Creek Falls

Side Refences  (Hiking in Penang):
Kerachut Beach
Monkey Beach + Muka Head Light House
Bukit Bendera
Bukit Mertajam Hill / Tokun Hill
Bukit Jambul
Mengkuang Dam (jogging not much of hiking)

Mai pakat- pakat pi Tanjung (penang) :D ngeh  ngeh ngeh

@ Iklan tak berbayar
Sekian...

Holiday on Ice

I had this childhood fantasy of "holiday on ice" talcum powder... haha... I laughed when I figured how relevant it was when Mardhiyah asked me if I wanted to join a skiing trip. Though in present i don't fancy the idea of skiing, (I prefer sports that require less equipment handling), I did it for my childhood memories... plus a little bit of 'new' adventure once a while will be good, rite :P

I joined this program organized by muslim student association of NC unis, to the Beech mountain ski resort,  NC. We can choose between Skiing, Snowboarding, and Tubing. Snowboarding sounds too scary, Tubing sounds too cute, so Ski it is! :P senang tak buat decision?... hohoho.

Look at the crowd... since winter is ending soon, I guess ramai berpusu-pusu to njoy as much as they can :D

and they have ski school for beginners (like me). But I kan berlagak terrer, haha... tak aar, amik syarat dpt ski pun cukup, even dengan gaya ayam itik skalipun :P

kaki terkepak kepak

Apparently, I dont have any inborn talent or superficial powers for skiing! Keep falling which is quite common for beginners... so that's what I happily did for most of my time there. Seriously... it was fun falling on snow coz its soft...but of course later u deal with your muscle ache la kan. Then, knowing me, I even felt when I was not skiing. on earthground, not on snow... passing by the cafetaria when out of sudden, a girl gleefully asked me "Did you have great time?!!" Kedeboom, jatuh!  grrrr... And again knowing me, I am good at 'speed recovery' and got up, gave a bimbotic laugh (cover malu), "yeahh, I guess I did, huhhh"  and kontrol macho... dalam hati, huwaaaa..............why whyyy

so lesson learned... to all of u out there: Toksah dok gempak mami laghu tu noh...  haih...adeh... well hidupku tanpa drama adalah tak sah, kan.....

This is the lift, that goes to the highest trail... erk, tiba-tiba acrophobia looking at this. nehi nehi. There are 'less extreme' trails, and separate lifts for that. Unfortunately (for me), when you hop on this lifts, u have to ski/snowboard down... u can't hve the return ride on this lifts. I really wanted to go on it, but since my skiing is bad, (I can't stop while going down slopes), I can't jeopardize my safety as well as others' on my path.

Anyways, I had fun learning how to ski at less steeper areas. When I got tired, I played around with snow (tindakan refleks bagi org khatulistiwa yang jupe snow kan) and went to check out the snowtube side... oh my, looks fun and cute :P tubies tubies teletubbies cute :D but i heard from those who did it, it was kinda rough as well :P

Last but not least, it was a great experience.

A part of it was also coz I met bunch of new friends, all young and energetic!! They are juz so cool... made my day! Thank girlss ;-)

winter's gonna be over soon... its getting warmer these days..yeahhh!



A ride to the fantasy world

I was hanging out with a girl who's 11. Both of us kept each other good company. The girl warmed up to me very fast, and when she find that she was comfortable talking to me, she couldn't stop. Haha... she reminds me of myself, trillion years ago :P Ouh....I was so talkative...  (wait...IS it past tense?)
and she makes me miss my niece even more...

She's full of fantasy... she loves the movie harry potter and 2012 so much that she tries to believe one is and one will be true. Most likely she already knew they are fictional but choose to believe otherwise. I told her they are not true and she said 'yeahh but I really believe it will be true... you know it's so cool....(she continues with her imaginative narrations)...' Then I realised, I was that girl once upon a time. I guess I woke up somewhere along the way. Anyways, back to the future. I had to share my take on 2012, but made it as light as possible for her. But she was so excited about harry potter that I couldnt bring myself to dash her childhood fantasy. And  then she started asking whether I think harry potter exists. Alamak... it's a trapp!!. Now now, how should i tell her? Finally, I replied 'dear, i don't believe in harry potter...  (she looked a bit disappointed) but, I like the movies (grin). Though i'm telling you its not real, it's ok for you to keep your fantasy alive..." she looked kinda happy with my answer... but I can never tell whether it's the best answer...

.
This is like telling kids santa does not exist.
And its the same like how I had to explain to my niece that animals don't talk in real life.

On the other hand, as much as I think we should impose reality from time to time, I think we should give them some space for imagination and fantasies as well. I dunno, maybe for them to be more creative-thinking in future?

I still remember how imaginative I was. I would be telling my younger sis all about it and make her believe my fantasy world. Funny how I still remember some of them in detail.

I loved this talcum so much when I was little. I told my sis once we touch it, we will go into the other side of the world and reach this place. oh ya, can even choose which one will be our 'house' here. After "going into this bedak", we would be skiing tak ingat dunia... (walhal masih atas katil!) and sometimes I would be staring at it, with the hope that staring hard would make me kepooofff to this place... hahaha....

Hmmm..I better not write all of them here.. I should just keep em to myself huh... haha....sharin Holiday on Ice fantasy is embarassing enough :P

My childhood years are long gone... the memories, some of em, are still strong....I am not sure to what extent my childhood imaginations or fantasies might have influenced my life's journey... Any comments from children psychology expert? But I still remember the feeling of having hopes and dreams about the impossibles or the wonders the world has to offer.

As an adult, its our responsibility to teach kids about the reality of life... (according to their age)

but once a while, i guess it won't harm us to ride into their fantasy world ... right? 

Listening to kids telling stories is so entertaining...

Ainaa.. aunty miss you so sooo much..... :'(
