dream vlog

we were at ccw's fictional house. got picnic bench area like a cafe and the toilet is like a long room with damn a long of deco art stuff

hmm i was shopping at a supermarket, bought some stuff, then when i wanted to send it to my car, i lost the trolley. i searched all around the "carpark", which became like a food court area. i asked hl to help and we went back to the supermarket to lodge a report. when we went back to the food court and search again, we found the bags were shelved. i cross checked the items against  my receipt. (i think this was funny part because i was actually counting the number of nuts i bought , one by one)

after that i think we are attending a class of some sort. someone is arranging the seating (one of the girls complained some of the seats are old. you see, they are cushions and you can see the colors faded). i was helping the event team to set up the queue barriers. dunno why :l maybe the girl quite pretty lol

anyway when it was time to get my seat, i didnt chose first and everyone went into their respective group. there was this pretty girl who whispered something but i  couldnt catch it. anyway i looked around and see where ks etc were seating. hl came into the room and got into his seat (the seats are on the sit and along the rows in the middle). and i woke up lol

Earlier Cape town

Yesterday

Breakfast. Ate less than the day before. More on the cold fiber food nia.

Cape point and hope. The journey took about 1hr 20mins.  The point is to see the crossover of the Indian and Atlantic Ocean. The difference are Indian are less rough,  warmer and darker than Atlantic. You can see the color difference..

Cape hope is where the rough sea is and used to be called the Cape of storms due to the many shipwrecks encountered at the location.

We went for Penguin sightseeing. Africa penguins. Looks damn grumpy. Many of them.

Bought some aloe products for friends' wives.

Rare stone shop.  Bought some smaller pieces for souvenirs. Damn cheap. Rand 1-2.

Diamond. Didn't buy anything  but it was interesting to see the two couples hustle and bargain for the best price. Lol.

Vietnam dinner. So so nia.

Went to gym for 30mins run.

Day before yesterday

Went up to Table Mountain,  super windy. The wind actually push me to one side. That's how strong it was. Spent about 1hr walking here and there. Took some nice photos. A guy's cap almost flew off. Lol. When we were leaving, the alarm actually rang because it was too windy.

Signal Hill. Shorter and lower hill but the hill have a good view of table mountain.

Malay quarter. Last time the Dutch bring the Malay back here and they have a designated quarter. As they are mostly illiterate, for posting services, they color their houses with different bright colors and will inform the postman to mail it to ie "the green house next to the blue house".

Seal cruise. So so nia

Shopping. A lot of clothing to buy but I think the pricing is about the same as Malaysia.

African dinner. This is very interesting. Range of different African countries' dishes. They have tapioca cheese bread, Dahl dipping, chicken, lamb stew, salad-ish vegetables (cold veges), fried fish and soup. Dessert was ice cream lol.

Cape town

Last day jor. Let's do a review from the back.

Today 1/7
Kanonkop vineyard. Did wine tasting. The local Cape Town wine is pinotage. I find it more on the blend side, not as flavorful as I like. One of the tour group fella bought the black label (costing about rm500+) to try. Tbh I find that OK nia. I like the Paul Sauer. It is quite fragrant and tasty too. I ended up buying a rose and pinotage, just to let the guys try.try. My personal favorite is the Paul Sauer and cabernet sauvignon.

After the wine tasting, we head to brandy tasting. The tasting comes with chocolate pairing. Brandy is not my poison so I didn't really enjoy it. We end up buying two moscato here for rand48 each.

Head for dinner after. Expensive dinner with beautiful scenery of the mountains and vineyard.   The appetiser is fish with chilli wanton followed by slow cooked pork belly.  Dessert is chocolate mousse. We ordered oyster too which is damn fresh! About rm16 each

Then we head to cheetah sanctuary. I didn't go in so I took photos from outside nia. Saw a three legged jackal. Like it a lot. Saw two big shepherd dogs.

Now we are heading for dinner.
