here comes the bachelorette

Went for my bachelorette weekend trip at the end of August!

Had to wait till raya celebrations and our outdoor photoshoot was over before can go hurray hurray with my girls. Felt restless and unsettled before the whole thing happened because I didn't know the plans and what I was expected to do :/ Only knew part of the plan two days before it actually happened - when the girls sent me this little note via our group Whatsapp chat:

Trust them to come up with a Stepford Wives theme eh!!!!!

So biadab or what! Nampak sah aku farrrrr from a Stepford Wife stereotype siak hahaha so this was meant to be a bootcamp of sorts for me to learn how to be the "ultimate domestic goddess"???!!! Thanks eh korang, THANKS.

The note came with a "list of things to pack for a 3D2N trip" and I immediately knew we were going across the Causeway!!!!! Because one of the items listed was "some Malaysian ringgit" hahaha bo chui or what. Told my mat about it and said "Mesti KL!" to which he said "Mana you tau? Entah entah JB" to which I replied "Eh sekali Kedah ke Perak eh?" Hahahahaha. Siak!

Not that there's anything wrong with crossing over to JB ah but kauz, random ke ape pergi JB or even Kedah or Perak for a 3D2N bachelorette trip?! Haha! No idea why I was so sure it'd be KL, by the way. Would have been pretty epic if what I said in jest turned out to be true LULZ

Woke up super early on Friday and met my bridesmaids at Golden Mile Tower for our coach ride to KL (Yes, it was KL eh) - the girls wanted to book flights for the trip but all the available timings were unfavourable. Meh. Slept through a 6-hour coach ride to Berjaya Times Square, where we had our lunch before heading to our accommodation because we were freaking ravenous!

Korean lunch for everyone!

It started raining heavily when we were done so we cabbed to our accommodation.

Super cosy apartment at Bidara Condominium Bukit Bintang! Comes with a living room, a small kitchen, two bedrooms with two queen-sized beds and two toilets. Very clean, living room served as an awesome lepak point (Comfy sofas, cushions and warm fuzzy carpet FTW! Plus the long glass window gave us a bit of a view - we even caught fireworks on the first day heh)... my only grouse is the water pressure is pretty low so everytime kena flush three, four times, one.

 Krispy Kreme doughnuts for snacking purposes!

I was still pretty exhausted from the coach ride (it was bumpy and I kept drifting in and out of sleep zzz) so I took a quick nap before the girls woke me up just before Maghrib so I can mandi and siap for the night. Walked out to see pretty buntings hung around the apartment and the girls decked in their Stepford Wives' best hehehe:

Girls even assembled a Stepford Wife kit for bride-to-be me! There was a kitchen mitten for cookies and cakes that I will never bake, an apron handsewn from scratch by Nani (this one veteran Stepford housewife, confirm), some kind of scrub that I do not know the function of (korang percaya tak sekarang yang aku tak domesticated?!), a mini broom and dustpan, rubber gloves, sleeves to protect my hands and arms while washing dishes (?) and a few polaroids of the girls carrying out some of the pre-bachelorette trip tasks. Awww.

 Stepford wives snapshots! Itu apartment punya seterika semua jalan terus.

Kicked off the night with a few rounds of very jahanam dares that got us howling in laughter!!! (They were created by the Nadiah, the Biadab Games Slut Master herself, whaddya expect?!) Some of the videos taken that night tak censored tahap debbie goes dallas so they are never going to see the light of the day... you hear that, girls?!

And that's all for the night, folks!

HAHAHAHAHA I'm kidding, of course. Dah pakai tantek tantek takkan nak duduk rumah scrub toilet pulak kan??? Although technically that's what a good Stepford Wife would do..... We went out a-hoppin' that night but don't worry, there was no Miley Cyrus-style twerking involved LOLZ.

And don't worry, nothing of this sort either:

Hahahahahahaha.

Woke up in time for our dim sum brunch the following day!

My favourite item from the menu!!! Their custard bun is sooooo sedap!!! I think I had about ten thousand of them?!?!?! Oh, but makan custard bun sampai ten thousand pieces with tons of other dimsum orders pun, our total bill for the whole meal came up to less than SGD20 - or was it SGD25 - per pax, I think??? Murah siak.

The toilet that we went to before we started our jalan jalan around KL. Instead of the conventional tap, kena roll the wheels around if you want water to come out! Aku was so jakunz.

Headed out to Pavillion Shopping Mall and the surrounding shops for some shopping.

Ice lollies for everyone! Except Nani, who was feeling a little sick.

This was us goofing around at one of the shops! Kita actually masuk this kedai to beli payung because it started raining but we ended up browsing and goofing around sampai it stopped raining by the time we wanted to pay for the umbrellas. Haha! You ain't got nothin' on us, KL rain!

Lepas tu, everyone went for foot and back massages after a whole day of shopping and the initial plan was to head back to the apartment after our massages to wash up and change before going out for dinner. But it was almost 7plus in the evening by the time we were done so we went straight back to Pavilion Shopping Mall for our dinner... our oh so very sedap dinner.

Enjoyed our dinner so much because food was so freaking good! And the desserts!!!!! Do not get me started on the desserts okay. So freaking awesome tahap teenage mutant ninja turtle.

Loved these conversation starter cards that were placed at every table! We had a bit of fun pulling out cards for everyone to answer... Such an adorable idea, really. We were saying how this would be the perfect place to have a first date! (With ehem, Tengku Azwan from Subang who has a club in JB, maybe??? Hahahahaha #insidejoke)

Lagi lagi the ambience was superb!!! We sat at the alfresco area so it's a little bit more breezy than sitting inside the restaurant itself and there was a slight drizzle when we were halfway through our dinner so it was really nice and cooling.

View from where we were seated.

Walked back to our apartment after the drizzle stopped, washed up and chatted while lazing at the living room until 3 in the morning. Our main topic for discussion was very the hardcore ye! But I sungguh suka lah chatting chatting with my bridesmaids. So many opinions and experiences and jokes to share and cackle at. Hehe.

We went to KLCC Suria for a heavy yummy lunch before packing up for home the next day!

Walked around for a bit after we were done with lunch, overshot the time by a liiiiittle bit and had to rush back to the apartment before racing down to the coach pick-up point ala The Amazing Race... nasib baik we made it just in time for our coach! Kalau tak, terpaksalah cancel my wedding in Singapore and plan for a KL wedding instead HAHAHAHAHA CARI CHANCE NAMPAK. Padahal boleh just top up for the next coach pick-up eh haha

Oh, while I was away in KL with my bridesmaids, my mamat was away with his friends for his bachelor party too - but in Jakarta! Tengok lah si smart mamat ni.......

Waduh. Ganteng bener pacarku. Bisa bikin kehangatan ini. Hahahahaha.

Sham planned the 3D2N trip during the same weekend because it happened to be my mat's birthday weekend as well so kirakan combined celebration gitu ah. The other groomsmen didn't go because they had other prior commitments but they met up with Alvin, one of their Indonesian friends there who became their host during the 3D2N trip.

(Alvin is one of the most nicest, most friendliest and most humblest persons I've ever met! He was Saliheen's first friend that I met - along with Ahmad, at Alvin's apartment in Singapore - and even though I had reservations because of... uhmmm, certain circumstances at that time, he was really nice and hospitable and we were grimacing and shrieking at stupid tak perlu videos together in no time. Really hope he'll be able to fly over for our wedding!!!)

Anyway, just want to finish this entry off with the biggest THANK YOU to my bridesmaids for putting the whole bachelorette party/trip together for me!!!!!!!!!! Had such a fab time during the trip - would have been happy even if it was just dinner, because korang make such amazing company.

I'm really going to miss having you guys pamper me as the bride-to-be and me having the ammunition to pester you guys with wedding-related questions and tasks once this is all over! HAHA. Ketahuilah bahawa my cinta and kasih for korang sudah sampai ke outer space! <3
