Pata Timo here we come~

Henlo henlo... in just a blink, my Septembre passed by ain't it? Well, I somehow spent almost half of it being out of home with a little trip... was it really little though? haha, okay so this trip started in Pahang AND also ended in Pahang. Only that it was at different districts... where and what we did this time? Now, it's your time to scroll down and read slowly words by words of what I'm about to write to you... you may also read it in parts or at your own pace ૮₍´˶• . • ⑅ ₎ა which I lowkey advice you to, but don't forget to come back to continue! heee, or you can even prepare some snacks to read with perhaps?

Initially, it was for a wedding of my other cousin from my mother's side (yes, two maternal cousins' wedding in a year but definitely not yet mine lol)~ then, it became a pata timo (pata timur?) trip since we're stopping at each states of that direction.

D-2 of the main event: first pit stop at Kuantan  

Yes, I have no photos of our stop here as we've returned to our usual Kuantan stay and didn't really go anywhere except to dine in at the mall opposite hehe. Instead, lemme serve you the very quick stop we made for brunch at Bentong; the famous place, Lemang To'ki... like finally, we at least know how it tasted and how's the environment of it... not bad and quite acceptable for a clean freak like me (of course, clean environment is important so we can enjoy the food properly right (  - ᴗ •́  )).

.some simple dessert to cleanse the palate.

.marked we are here.

D-1: continued our journey to Kota Bharu, the main destination 

It was cloudy and chill throughout the half of the day on the highway and it was just so cold that it was foggy on the hills by the roadside while misty on the main~ Since we estimated to reach KB on time, we then made a detour (not really, it's just on the way too haha) to one of the hidden cafes, Nyiur, I found in outskirts of K.Terengganu, as we will use the pantai route so we don't have to get stuck in the center of the city~

/\ sister said the tiramisu tasted decent, even better than the viral ones in KL

/\ you have to try this nyiur latte!

.do visit if you're nearby, a relax and toned down vibe with good food!.

Supposedly reached the hotel at 1700 but since it was Friday-still school holiday-late afternoon, which the time that Kelantanese love to go to the beach to hang out... it made us delayed for about 2 hours! Decided to just have our dinner at the hotel's restaurant in order to settle down quicker and be ready for the event the next day. Oh, there was also a charity event with concerts going on at the stadium just beside our place... it was so packed luckily we didn't go out, else we can get stuck again in the traffic jam haha. 

D-day: Kota Bharu

The day of the main event, but since it's gonna be in the evening, we went to get ourselves another brunch at Four Seasons, the place we found during our last visit to KB two years ago~ it's just a few minutes away from the hotel.

.the chinese pancake as dessert doesn't disappoint as always.

/\ the fish still alive? :o

Belly fuelled up, now time to get to work! Let's give some spotlight to my creativities again haha. Glad that I was requested to do the decos for the bridal car once more. Love making it and definitely enjoyed it. Every time I got the request, it'll never be the same (as much as possible unless requested to be done exactly the same) cause I want to challenge myself and give the bridal cars different characters~ 

/\ from this... (I forgot to take photos before I assembled the flower and leaves together)

to this...

and this...

to this...

.look at the sparkles.

/\ night view

On this occasion, as it will be in the late evening, I wanted to add some sparkles ₊⊹ to it so it shines under the lights, hence the crystals and Swarovskis are incorporated. Quite challenging with the loops as I needed to mould them myself to same sizes and shapes but was balanced out with the easy but still cute flower arrangements on top that the overall look turned out elegant and just as I imagined~ psst, I made an account for this at last and gonna start accepting orders soon! You may follow thehuasoeurs or spread the word to your circles and recommend me to them yeah ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡ appreciate it lots hehe.

BONUS: made a little something for our own, too ꫂ❁

ya know it's serious when the gym glove is out right? haha

.as usual, testing at our door first haha.

.lil hearteu swarovski for us.

Okay, enough for that now... the shots for #AMinLove; the main event incoming... such an intimate wedding I can say... the weather was also just nice, not too humid for someone who sweats easily like me. Got some sunset shots so it was pretty nice for the outfits haha (and my flowers, obviously, as in one of the photos above).

/\ we got a comey dooh (means cute or so in kelantanese ) for this dress of mom ♡

.can i like this photo just cause i can see me smiling at the back? haha.

.without realising, i actually collected butterbear, too.

.noticed the dulang boi in duty again? hee.

End of the night, took a chance of filming this for my outfit and I loveee the vibe and lighting caught in the shot haha, it feels kinda dreamy~

D+1: journeyed ourselves to Kuala Terengganu

Not much of cafe hopping around KB for this trip, however we still slipped to Daughter Bakes for a while before heading towards KT leisurely and made another stop on the way, again, by the beach, for our dinner (well, for me haha)~ 

.clear view of mt. fuji.

/\ the cheesecake bits in this bingsu was quite tasty

Got a lot of desserts from Daughter Bakes, I ate them for my dinner snack, which I know is against my eating routine, that I don't really eat after 7 (except for some case haha or I crave snacking so much lol yeah just snacking no heavy meals still), but since I don't really eat a lot during the day, why not right? And not to waste the food, too, cause I think better eat that time than to keep it when I know I'll be getting more snacks to try tomorrow haha. That's what happened if we only got limited time to try a lot, don't you agree? (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

.proof i ate at the hotel haha.

D+2: kueh and turtle finding mission at KT for Upa's lost one

I know that the mission was for Upa's turtle but we got it on the previous day at Bayou Cafe; the one we had an early dinner, where they have a souvenir shop there so we just grabbed it that time as we're not sure if we'll go to pasar or not... but looks like we did go, too, for the snacks and spices haha

.bigger turtle found the day before, so another mini one for meh then.

/\ went to the viewing dock thinking we can get clearer and nicer photo opt of the bridge but unfortunately they locked the door hence the photo can only be taken from inside the mall lol why advertise it if you lock the door?

.just another shot to mark that we've been here lol, not bad mayang.

.one of the cafes in my list but we just passed by for now haha.

D+3: bye KT, hello again Pahang, specifically Gambang

Before we departed to our next stop, we need to feed our tummy to energise our body, don't we? So, here we are at our next cafe, JOMO. The reviews definitely didn't lie and absolutely genuine... cause why? The taste is above par and of course more! Did not disappoint at all and deserve to be the top in our list of cafes if in KT. (ദ്ദി ๑>؂•̀๑) Easily can see ourselves again at one of the tables enjoying the food next time~

.a must to tapau pastries.

.the cards did not work we had to wait for them to be replaced lol.

/\ pov: too lazy to take off your shoes for the photos across the room hence the sacrifices made for the photos below haha...

/\ another night another ribbon croissant dinner haha, and personally for this one, I prefer the one from JOMO for the fillings are lovelier

.bro ate his pain a chocolate so not seen here.

Few minutes before the clock struck 1500, we reached our final stop of the trip, just in time for check in at Manggala, after sooo long for not staying there. Well, the cov happened and we found Tanjong Jara haha. It's so good to be back to see what changed (besides evidently, it changed name to an estate stay but doesn't really have any other major changes~). The hospitality offered still as friendly and warm as the last time we came... except they didn't give us unlimited free snacks (chips, cookies etc) anymore even though we haven't finish the ones we got and no more evening chocolates delivery (only came every late evening to inquire if any bed preparation needed to sleep if you want haha).

D+4 and D+5: healing and slow living days at the resort (it's been a while Manggala)

As we planned, we really chilled and just netflix (A LOT!) like we finish quite a bunch of movies and a series (last two episodes that we watched at home)... it was sooo cozy, serene and peaceful that we came to favour watching videos on youtube about the daily lives of the people in Azerbaijan and some travelling vlogs~

/\ went to get lunch outside nearby the hotel and took the chance to stock up the snacks on our own \/

/\ wow, the oil from the lauk is quite sinful eh? but for the taste, it's worth it they said \/

.lifeguard teddy?.

.pool ballet for the floating birthday hi tea?.

/\ hmmm no wonder something feels off, we forgot to put the straws and mixer in the cocktails haiyaa .·°՞(っ-ᯅ-ς)՞°·. \/

.nighty night from teddy ted.

D+5 was gonna be my day and supposedly the day we return home, so we arranged a floating hi-tea on D+4 but sadly, they didn't write the wordings we requested but it's fine cause I received the cute teddy instead~ the prawn tapas was delish I gladly ate them all up when no one wants it anymore lol. The other dishes were lovely, too, especially the guacamole that came with the nachos, I ended up dipping everything I can into it (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) *I've always loved avos and pairing weird things tho hee*

/\ sneaked out for a bit to get lunch and more snacks and ice cream that I felt eating ice cream so much that day haha \/

/\ my birthday cake of the year maybe

/\ got a candle from previous buy at the cafes and a roll cake, thought of this shot just to have a photo related to my day taken on the day itself as I said below heee literally minutes before it turn 0000 to a new date

More chilling and healing on my day, I even forgot to take my birthday photos on the day itself! Wanna cry now cause I have no single shot to celebrate it; like photos taken on the exact date (╥‸╥) these were the only photos I have of that day, it made me feels like not having my day properly yet hmmm but all in all, I actually did enjoy the day though haha... only no memories captured physically to look at again...

D+6: back home and end of our east coast trip ㅠㅠ

Till we meet again Manggala, thanks for the healing time you gave us there. Hope to see you again with the same fun! Except we don't want anymore froggies joining our pool time haha

.surprisingly good i ate as my breakfast with the roll cake.

/\ mom's little photoshoots with dad while we're not taking our breakfast haha

VS

/\ raws of when you asked your dad to take photos of you haha but can see mom's reactions \/

.one last shot before home.

Oh, it's not complete if we didn't stop by at Mitsui to get our dinner ready every time we're back from the trip haha since I guess, we were exhausted and Mitsui is just minutes away (also on our way to home) so why not make a quick stop, eh? It was on a weekday (Friday furthermore) that it was to avoid the traffic jam, too.

-

Anyway, I was also busy organizing and touching up my mini cabin studio to prepare to open it on the studio's anniversary (and I did make it with just a tad bit small details not ready yet but not affecting the whole thing)~ it's in pink, white and bits of black. Can't wait to really work in it, although I didn't put my sewing machine there currently since I feel like I'll sew till night at times (still not feeling sewing alone in it haha) ❀.(*´◡`*)❀ might put the photos in another post? Let's seee...

-

Back to the trip, so, that's all for the moment... cause it's a lot longer than usual as I didn't make it in parts as how I did for some... it's due to I think it'll be even more exciting this way specifically for this post~ See you in the next one loves! ₊˚⊹ ᰔ
