View from our hotel - Campago Resort @ Bukit Tinggi
 Too lazy to share the hotel view. 
Hotel seems o.k. but my shower gel and my listerine was 'cilok" by the staff. 
A quarter of my shower gel & listerine were gone.
Hmm..i really dont mind if you want to have some, but dont keep some for your stock la..hadoiii...

On day 3 we also went to the 'tabek patah'. Its the best pat of the trip.
It was soooo beautiful..with padi..avocados...etc..

2013!!!!

Happy New Year peeps!!!
The new year has come. 
Honestly, I dont really like new year as I dont really like it when time's flying.
I am someone who really love to cuddle with my surroundings, what I have in hand and all the lovely people around me.

I rarely on the lookout of something new, with the exceptions of "shopping"
ya... but rest of it - I am just happy with who and what i have around.

In short - I dont feel anything on the new year.
Lazy morning as always & lepaking at home.
late evening, we went out to KLCC as Mr.H need to buy something for his NoteII (which he really proud of, eleh...) , then I bought a new cutie shoes - creamy color from Lovely lace for my Ms. F. 

Then, lepak Starbucks & went to Kino for some 'small purchases'
 (ntah apa yg i beli pon x tau le....dah lupa dah).


Adios, 
Happy New Year!
