A TRIP UP NORTH

The 1 week September holiday has been well-spent, me thinks. HOW, you may ask? Ahhhhh.... Let me count the ways....

1) Became Mummy's shopping buddy - *Checked*
2) Accompanied Mummy to her workplace (& opened her Checher's Day gifts) - *Checked*
3) Joined Granny, Grandad, Aunty Dibz & Aunty Tiq to JB - *Checked*
4) Went to a trip up north - *Checked*
5) Skipped a few days of school to do the above - *Checked*

Speaking of which, I've to say that I truly enjoyed the trip up north. Though it was just a short weekend getaway to the historical town of Melacca, it was just as refreshing. Shopping spree at Mahkota Parade & Dataran Pahlawan, a jacuzzi treat at Century Mahkota, a sumptuous dinner of Ikan Bakar, an educational (and tiring!) trip to the refurbished Melacca Zoo and most of all a long overdue visit to Nek Long's HUUUUUGE villa at Jalan Kandang, made the trip undeniably memorable. Especially so, since this was the last time we drove up north in Daddy's pitch black Corolla. Sob sob....

Had most fun at Nek Long's villa and the Melacca Zoo, though. (Unlike Mummy & my Aunties, I don't EXACTLY enjoy what women term as retail therapy). Anyway, adik Ammar (Nek Long's one and only grandson a.k.a my second cousin) is soooo lucky to live there. Er, in the VILLA, I mean. Not the Melacca Zoo! (*Rolls Eyes*) Imagine having to live in an abode with 8 rooms, 2 kitchens, 2 dining rooms, 2 living rooms and a back lawn big enough for a 7-a side soccer match. Just the other day, I overheard Granny saying that it cost Nek Long RM 30K just to do the carpet grass. Fuyooooh!

Ok. Reality check! Gotta go get ready for school. Can't wait to tell my friends about the animals I saw up close and personal at the Melacca Zoo. :)
