The Shorea, Jelebu

Idk what I have been busy for lately. Definitely not just sleeping and working, I just simply lost the mood to update my blog. Was having severe emo-ness since I back from my Lake Toba trip and a Shorea stay with my besties in Penang and UM. I not yet finish writing my Bangkok and Hua Hin posts, then now Lake Toba and Shorea, upcoming will be Hanoi.

Ok, stop nagging like an old lady. Decided to blog about The Shorea today and postpone my Bangkok, HuaHin, Medan trip.

When we were there, the guests for Villa Kemboja are not reaching yet. So, we have a chance to look at it. Villa Kemboja is perfect for couple stay. It has a King size bed, private kitchenette with cooking facilities, a barbeque area within an enclosed dining courtyard and a balcony.

Five of us didn’t have a "full attendance" meet up since we graduated, and we do cherish this wonderful time that we spent together. We enjoyed our endless chit chat session, had fun playing in the pools, steamboat under the starry night and took endless pictures. The Shorea is a perfect place for us to did nothing, but to relax.
