Trip to Istana

Tagged along with elder sis and her friends to Istana Open House during 2nd day of CNY. Quite an experience, i must say. And don't be jealous, I saw the President. AND the President's wife. They were only like 3 arms-wide away from me. (mental note: strike off President in my 'People I Want To Meet' List)

Ok, back to serious business. The land is super huge ok. We walked for like 20-30 minutes before we reached the main building. But it's so freaking worth it. Because the interior is awesome! The gorgeous chandeliers, the perfectly-polished floors, the cupboard-aircon. The building make me feel like i'm in a set of National Treasure.

Pity photo-taking is not allowed. So no interiors pictures to share, sorry. But do go there next holiday.
Ok, pictures of exteriors:


I want a miniature Istana. Or an Istana magnet. Or something.


Girls with a mission. Mission to find treasures. Treasures in a form of a map. Map with a big red 'X'.

Thanks, Sissy! For asking me along. I love you, even when you straight-forwardly rejected to be my partner in Amazing Race Asia 3.


We got a picture with smart-clothes guyyy~


The company i had that day was great, thanks. Marina and her boyfriend Awadh made me laugh buckets. Such a fairytale-perfect couple. It amazes me how some people are effortlessly funny. Like they don't even have to try to make jokes. Everything that came out from their mouth is funny.


I'm thinking of visiting the national museum next. Arts appreciation, anyone?
