Seremban Road Trip!

I am so sorry that I have not been writing for a while. But, trust me as much as I would love to be back, I have other commitments to be adhered to. Before I begin writing, it shall be note that this post was in regards of my last weekend's activity. 

 











Before I begin writing, I need to say sorry for not being able to be there for the Singapore trip, Holi SDS I've been wanting to go since 2015 but I'll make it the next round okay? So sorry for turning down UKM Malam Irama Penyayang ( Indian Cultural Night Show ) because I really needed to catch on this wedding.

Now, you must have all been wondering why did Raveenaa even ended up in Seremban last Saturday. The truth was, last Saturday was a day where all Hell's broke loose time for me, myself and I. The day started when I had to rush back home to Cheras to get my 
red saree for the wedding. Unfortunately, my partner 
opted for blue which was such a pain in the neck.

I had a lecture to attend to on Trust Law by Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, in the faculty and I had to be back by 10am to UM, and I began panicking when I got home and realized that it was already 8.30a.m. when I stepped into the house. I swore that I packed my things and showered like The Flash and I left home immediately. I reached the faculty at 9.55a.m. on the dot, wishing I never need to do that in life ever again. 

Attended a two hours lecture which later became three, by the Federal Court Judge himself, who is now a practicing lawyer, Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram. And I could have sworn everyone was just mesmerize as to how he puts his words. I left the faculty at one pm to  KPS and got us both coconut milk shake and 
we got on the road, heading towards Seremban. 

 

 

The drive to Seremban was such a good weather. Sunny, perfect for a road trip. The bad side upon driving down South on a Saturday, was that, but the fact that we left after lunch hour made it so jam especially nearing town. It took us two hours. So by 
the time we settled for lunch it was already three pm.

 

I headed to Ching Hua Chinese School for lunch, and the area there was Templer Heights where I had tom yam mee with three layered tea and my partner had wan tan mee. The food there was pretty cheap as compared to KL, obviously. I would post the whole lot of expenses by the end of this post so you could 
see how much we've spent for this one day trip :)

  

After lunch, we headed towards Church of The Visitation. It was a Roman Catholic Church where we spent quite a while there. It was such a beautiful place and soothing place to be at. Since I've been to 
St. Anne's Church in Bukit Mertajam, Penang 
earlier this year, this place makes it more memorable 
cause I was able to share some stories I know :) 

 

We left for the Gudwara Sahaib followed by 
Sri Balathandayuthapani Temple where the main 
God there was Lord Thandayuthapani, himself. It was almost already at 4pm when we made our ways to have cendol on such a heaty day. We made our ways to Haji Shariff Cendol where I had the cendol jagung which costed RM 1.70 ; and he had ABC Ais Kacang for RM 2.50. We met this beautiful Indian Couple 
there in the shop who were from Putrajaya who 
went back to Seremban town to visit their parents.

The queue in the Cendol shop was so long and we waited forever, but the moment the desserts touched our lips, it was worth all of the waitings and lining up. Once finishing our desserts, we made our way quietly to Aeon Seremban 2, because I really needed to get a wedding gift to be given that night. I sworn I could have never been this last minute. The gift shall remain secret, because, it's just something cute and I know how much the bride would love it! We passed by this food testing place, where we both tried on super delicious butter cookies and I made him bought it.

So once that was done, we made our ways to Seremban City Park 2 and we spent for about an hour there. We watched basketball matches and became commentator of the live show. Trust me, I was laughing my worries away cause he was pretty strict of a person when it comes to basketball games, really. We went for a walk, and when the day was about to get darker, we made our ways to change into our traditional wear and made our way to the wedding hall.

Once there, we had food, congratulate the bridegroom and bride and lastly, with the lovely buddy herself.

The drive back to University Malaya was only for 45 minutes and by the time I was home, it was exactly 23:58 p.m. at night as I called it for a day. With this, here are the itinerary and also the costing of the day. 

Good day everyone!

Fantastic Four In Kuala Lumpur City! Part 2 :]

It had been a month after my birthday tho. Exactly 

a month long. But that's not the point. Today, after much snoozing my phone alarm, I jumped out of bed at 09:40a.m texting both Vino and Thiviya telling them that I am awake. I woke up to noises downstairs and it is so good to see elder brother, Sureen's face and he told me that he is working this Thursday onwards. There is so much of planning of activities to be done this weekend with the family, but all I am thinking is just campus and work. Going to 

keep myself so occupied and busy, I promise.

The only good sides of me these days is the fact that I've been sleeping early ever since. Been crawling into bed and calling it a night and it is such a comfort feeling to know that my sleeping schedule is fixed. 

At least, for this upcoming facilitator camp.

I got ready within minutes like the superhero, The Flash and I couldn't decide on what to put on for today, so I thought might as well choose the basic maroon Topshop basic plain t-shirt and a leggings and finished it with my favourite pair of flats, anklet and the necklace from yesterday. So I left home early today to take the train to KL Sentral, since it was our meeting point for Day Two. Decided to ask Sureen Anna for a favour to drop me off so it is in a way easier for me and I would save a little bit of time. 

In his car, I was so torn as to whether should I take the STAR LRT and then switch to Putra Lane or should I straight take the KTM Train to KL Sentral. I picked the later and regretted every single decision of mine.

Oh trust me when I say the KTM is such a pain in the neck when I was at the platform, I prayed that I would be on time since I am considered early for the day. Trust me when I tell you that my heart sank when the train got delayed not for a minute or two, but for 30 minutes. And it became where from being early, I was turning out to be late. I have always salute people who had the patience to wait for KTM Train simply because it is something that I didn't own. The worst of it all is when  9 STAR LRT trains passes by yet there was still NOT even one KTM Train in sight. Why is it that whenever I am early for something, the result would always turn otherwise. Ugh.

After delaying for almost 40 minutes, the train finally came and I boarded quietly heading towards KL Sentral which was five stations away, alone filled with anger and frustration. The only good part was when I actually put on a small black pottu and an Indian average looking girl asked for help for directions and for once, I felt good because it was something that I was able to help. Anyways back to the story, I arrived towards both Vino and Thiviya at 11:40a.m today, I felt so bad for making the girls wait for 10 minutes. 

Cry a bucket of tears, really.

So once we met up, we quickly decided to take a cab to the National Planetarium from KL Sentral. The cab fare was for RM 16.00 fixed rate so around RM 5.50 each, and we hopped onto a super big cab and there we were heading towards the National Planetarium.

Once there, we took photographs at the entrance and whilst we were planning last night, we thought about entering the movie exhibition but since we were already a little bit late than the stipulated time, we decided to just spend time in the gallery. It was such an eye opener I swear. We spend around an hour there from 12pm to 1pm. Among the best places for photographs was this one place where it looked like a newspaper cut out, and also, this Anti Gravity Room. So cool the room and lighting though. We had such headaches honestly. Everything felt so different. 

This is a picture of colourful periodic table and I remember them placing powder Attack detergent as Sulphur, and there were also matches and shampoos respectively. Did you know that astronauts sleep standing in the airspace? You didn't, right?

We played so much here, from checking the heart beat and pulse to the Earth to the moon to the planets and etc. I swear I felt like a school child. 

Such a good hair day and the new Fantastic 4 sisterhood necklace. And then, we made our way up to the second floor, it was supposed to be a route to Balai Celup, but it was closed. So we had the of the city. Ending the tour in National Planetarium here.

Since it was so heaty, we made our way on foot to National Museum. I would explain based on the photographs. There were so many tourists around and this is like my third trip to the National Museum though. The entrance fee into the museum is RM 2.00 each. I shall just let the pictures do the talking for me. Click on the photographs to enlarge them okay?

So once there, we spend around 45 minutes from 1.15pm to 2.00pm and halfway through the museums, both the girls turned to me and complained that they were hungry and that we wanted to head back to KL Sentral for lunch. So we left quickly at 2pm and asked for directions and we walked back to KL Sentral. How close. But before I jumped to pictures of lunch, let me explain the National Museum photos briefly okay?

Replicas of A Famosa, in Melaka and of Bunga Mas given from Sultan Kedah to Siam back in those days. 

So, we wanted to have Indian food intially for lunch, but because it was already so late and besides, we were already starving. We didn't want to beat the heat as well, I swear Kuala Lumpur heat is another pain in the neck. So we gave up on Indian food 

and just had lunch in NU Sentral Food Court.

This is lunch, wok and grill dry chilli chicken rice lunch set with egg and vegetable and oyster sauce which costed RM 10.50 for the whole set. I ordered cendol too for RM 5.10. Don't judge, I know I eat like a whale. So after lunch for about an hour, it was around 2pm to 3pm at that hour, we went to the Guardian pharmacy to get some toiletries and we took the train back home at 3.15pm and was back by four something to sleep because we're heading to Sai Centre in Bangsar for bhajans tonight. That's about it.
