Second day in Orlando
We spent the whole morning from 0715 to 1400, attending that ridiculous presentation about Timeshare and verification of tickets sold by a random guy who was in a hurry to recoup his losses as much as possible. In e end, we got our tickets at 77bucks each for 5 days.
First stop in Disney World - Hollywood Studios. I didn't really enjoy myself here except for the Aerosmith, Hollywood Terror Tower rides, Mermaid show & Star Wars. The rest of the time spent was mainly boring sightseeing and merchandising.

Third Day in Orlando
It’s Flea Market! We had too high expectations for this where it led to high disappointment. Indeed the flea market wasn't what we thought it will be. All I could describe about it is 'An Indoor Pasar Malam'.


Anyway, I love the lunch we had then. Initially our plan was to eat buffet at either Ponderosa or Tony Roma's Steakhouse but as we walked, trying to find the I-ride Trolley, we saw RED BAMBOO THAI restaurant!



4th Random - we simply treat ourselves to Thai Food. Everything was remarkable - the service, the ambience, the restrooms, the classy air and Not to Forget, the FOOD! :)
The next tour in Disney World - Magic Kingdom. This is much better than Hollywood Studios I thought. Indeed. We watched the Mickey Mouse show - Believe DREAMS COME TRUE, ride the race car, visited Disney characters Houses - Mickey, Minnie, POoh and took a tour at Haunted Mansion! The tour was awe-inspiring. Seriously astounding!! The effects and the feel were just so perfect. Oh, did I mention that I love things associated with Horror, Spooky, Paranormal, Sinister, Spine-chilling and Legends. :) Ahh! And GORE!
At night, it's Parade of Dreams Showtime! *Needless for me to say anything, just watch the video*
Forth day in Orlando
This is the worst day of all. After breakfast, the 5 of us happily took the shuttle bus from International Plaza to Universal Studios. Upon reaching, it’s cam-whoring time again before reaching the entrance of the park. Nevertheless, to our horror, our tickets allow no access to us! And the ticket at the door is priced at 80bucks per person! WTH** it's too expensive for me and Clarice thus we decided to change plans. The 4 of us - Ayeme, Vincent, Jo and I shall proceed back to our inn before leaving for Blizzard Beach whereas Clarice, the Shopping Queen off to shop at Premium Outlet. Before that, we finally settled our lunch at Ponderosa Steakhouse. The entree was good! I had grilled chicken with fries together with lunch buffet at only $10.69.
Took a cab down to Blizzard Beach and once again, we got a surprise from the God. Because of Lightning, THE BEACH WAS TEMPORARY CLOSED! Everyone was walking out of the beach! OMG!! Can u believe it? This is so ridiculous for our day! The staff told us that they will reopen until the sky is cleared but when?

Orlando, here we come!



Before leaving for the airport to Orlando, everybody was still busy with their stuff!

Stepping out of Orlando Airport

1ST Scare In Orlando - None of us know the exact address of the Sleep Inn that we had made a reservation in. All we know is the branch that is near to Convention Centre. With this information, we went around asking the airport staff how to get there but they cant help us unless we have the exact address. Fortunately, Clarice and I have faint memory that the address starts with WestWood Boulevard. So we double checked with the shuttle bus driver and boarded BUS 42 to international drive! On the way, we saw the so called - biggest mall, The Florida Mall which is seriously big that stands dunno how many acres of land. *too bad we didnt have the spare time to enter and see the mall ourselves.**
2ND random in Orlando - Clarice saw the signage of Cici's Pizza Buffet at $6.49!! Immediately, we changed our mind of checking in first and request for the bus driver to stop us at the bus stop near the restaurant so tt we can have our pizza lunch! All of us were definitely famished at that time. We wolfed down our pizza and Yes! What a splendid tang!! Good recommendation by one of my colleagues. 3RD random - we were supposed to drink ice water only but heck care the rules, we took sweet tea and poured the ice water away. whahahaha... the server saw but she did nothing! hehehe* Seeing us doing that, Ayeme did the same but she asked a funny question after having a sip of her drink. (Did u guys put sugar in the tea?) Without more ado, I knew she took the unsweetened tea! As usual, I can't stop laughing at her!! The unsweetened tea taste so awful that she decided to risk the chance of being caught and pour the tea away then fill her glass with Sweet Tea.
After pizza, we saw a booth that was selling cheap Disney Tickets but it came with a condition. Criteria - A COUPLE above 23years old, must be either cohabit or married and have a stable GOOD income then attend a 1 1/2 hour of presentation the next day. Therefore, the playful us decided to play along and bend the rules.
Next and the last stop for the 1st arrival day - Orlando Prime Outlet where all the brands such as Coach, Aeropostale, Victoria Secret, Kenneth Cole, Juicy Couture, Brooks Brother, Gap, Guess, Fossil etc.

Beach Day

Last Friday is the night before my departure to Disneyland, Orlando, Florida. Met up with Yuka, Joanne and Wanling to THE BEACH!! *I MUST say tt they are the lucky ones because they are the first to see me in Bikini! Even my closest friends didn’t have the chance.* hahaha...



Supposed to meet at 11.15am but girls just like to drag time. J went to pick up our pay check and unfortunately for me, I met the 2 bitches in my store who came for the same purpose. Anyway...unlucky things aside...headed to Myrtle beach for Sun tanning. The wind was so strong tt I can’t even lay my mat in peace! Took a walk with Yuka while the other two continued with their sun tan. GUESS WHAT?! We saw lots of interesting things along our way – fresh poo poo, condoms..
Next thing was Yuka went to buy soft serve and it melted like nobody business....poor her, have to eat it up in seconds. Hahaha...anyway, we continued sun tanning all the way to 4plus then headed to Coastal Grand Mall.


The Chinese restaurant manager gave us a box of chicken wings!! Shopping shopping shopping....my finances traded for a pair of skinny and Adidas black shoes for 10 and 16bucks respectively. Isn't it wonderful bargain??!!! Next stop is BK for dinner/supper. As usual, I had the routine - double stacker meal. *awww....The taste is still amazing!

Orlando Adventure

I just came back from Orlando, Florida!!!! Hahaha...Orlando is so much more accessible as compared to MYR! But we didnt managed to explore the area except for Disneyland. Nvm...all I wanna say is, 'This Whole Trip is AWESOME and EXHILARATING! Totally full of adventures for everyone!'

mY ADVenture: The most memorable tt happened to me in few hours ago! We almost missed the plane back to MYR! The incorrigible counter staff lied to us, said tt it's too late to check in now. At tt moment, our jaws dropped and hearts skipped a beat! **Can u imagine what will be the consequences??** ~buT we find it weird tt Clarice was able to check in few minutes ago, Y cant We? *wondering if it's fate, the plane was delayed due to heavy storms* SO we managed to check in! Happily took my boarding pass to the security checkpoint and my REAL adventure begins. I cant board!!!! The name on my boarding pass is different from my Passport............................sucks! Totally suckz! Ya guys shld know what's e feeling of being rejected to enter the gate & most importantly when yr plane is taking off in few minutes' time!!!!!!!!! Therefore, I had to walk all the way to Spirit counter again to request them to make a change in my boarding pass. *I think I might get a nervous breakdown at any moment at tt time.** The climax- Th system was unable to accept the change of name on my boarding pass!! *F*ck....Luckily, manually she issued a gate pass for me after taking her own sweet time dealing with the system. *Sweat*

My 2nd adventure combines the whole 5 days in Orlando. There seems to be a curse on us on our Orlando trip because every single day, there bound to be something tt will happen to us - 0. thinking tt we took the wrong trolley back to hotel, 1. Do a role play to attend a stupid and time-wasting presentation for a whole morning to get discounted Dinsey Tickets, 2. Got 4 tickets from a random person at a cheaper price & wasted one whole morning 3. called for a cab with a crazy driver, 4. went to Universal Studio with an invalid pass on the 4th day morning 5. On the same day, Jo, Amy, Vincent and I were all set to play the Water waves at Blizzard Beach BUT the beach was temporarily closed due to bad weather and lightning! 6. took the hotel tt was opposite ours - Intl plaza shuttle bus back from Disney Kingdoms when we are not supposed to 7. tour around Intl Plaza, make ourselves like the hotel guests when we are in fact, INTRUDERS!! 8. Managed to smuggle Vincent into Epcot using Clarice's pass & enjoyed the evening 9. made random decisions when deciding on where to fill our hungry stomachs - Cici's Pizza, Ponderosa Steakhouse, Red Bamboo Thai Restaurant, Village Inn Resturant, Petrol Kiosk Mart, Benninger Grill Bar....

***I am a quarter done with my updates only. Do u readers have the same thoughts as me tt My whole Journey was way too Enchanting, Intriguing and Dramatic??!! Totally AN ADVENTURE huh?!
