1 vacation 2 heavens - Part II - Cyberview Lodge, Cyberjaya

We leaving PD and drive to Cyberjaya for our next heaven - Cyberview Lodge. BB found this and we both thought this is a really good place to relax, just that why are we not aware of this wonderful place??
Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa is a 5 star boutique hotel,a veritable paradise set on 28.8 acre of award-winning landscaped gardens, featuring world-class quality of service and unparalleled Malaysian hospitality. Surrounded by towering palm trees, lush foliage, splendid tropical gardens, and meandering paths, the resort effortlessly blends rustic charm and with its state-of-the-art comforts in all its seventy-four lovely chalets, suites and bungalows.
The compound of this resort is really big and they have the luxury to filled it with spacious individual chalet units, unlimited view of landscape garden and ponds... While waiting for BB to check in, i were lead to the lobby for a welcome drink, they serve chill mint & lemongrass drink together with warm towel for you to refresh yourself. Albeit located in the cyber pulse city of M'sia, the interior design of Cyberview lodge is richly decorated with the malay traditional teak wood crafted furnitures.
 
Next to the lobby there's a passage way lead to a xing zhu restaurant which is wellknown for chinese style wedding banquet. BB took a rest too after check in our details and we are then allowed to drive our car and park outside our own chalet. We were given a lake side view chalet, meaning our balcony are a private lake facing.Once entering our junior suite,  we feel like we're in our own sophisticated home. The suite is skillfully decorated with wooden furnitures but yet providing you the modern comfort.The spacious chalet is equip with a pantry, adjoins bathroom with a cosy bath tub, dining area, a gorgeous four poster bed, and a high speed pc for you to connect to the web.
 
 Spacious, elegant and refined tropical ambience, the lovely suites feature a tastefully decorated living area and a magnificent patio that provide you a serenade greens of the nature.

As usual like our previous vacations, i'll make a cup of nice coffee for BB & myself and we enjoy it at our balcony overlooking the greens~

 Besides the brilliant thought of equip the room with cyber amenities, they are thoughtful enough for the kiddo or kiddo wannabe like me..

"A colourful fighting fish named "Beta" as your companion"
BB suggest to talk a walk around this resort, Yay! Exiting exploration awaiting us. No doubt of them claiming themselves a landscape award winning resort, every bits of resort have been decor with lush green plants, ponds, man-made river to make give you the "back to nature" feeling albeit its situated in the middle of the cyber city of malaysia. One looking for a refeshing breakway from bustling city should definitely be recommended to the Cyberview Lodge.
Let the photos do the talking.

3 Free Form Pool with Jacuzzi & waterfall.. Amazing huh?
 
How about reading a book on the hammock blend into the voice of nature?
The resort compound is huge and it takes us quite a while to explore it.. But walking in a no stress nature path, enjoying every single bits of nature sound & scene doesn't even gulp up our energy. There are lots of facilities for the guest, a three free form pool with jacuzzis, a posh Sembunyi Spa, Fitness centre & sauna & a kids corner.
After a walk, we decided to have our afternoon tea at the Atap Lounge, besides some snacks, we're too entertained by a live band playing tradional instrument.. We both chilled out with freezy cold drinks and reading our favourite mag.

My meal - Strawberry ice blended & chicken pie.

BB's beer & burger.. why the filling served separate from the burger? My fav! curly fries!!
After meal, we went back to our little nest for a good rest~ An staff knock on our door and gave me a suprise! She bring me these... My companion! Cybear! Aw!! So sweet~~
 
Waking up from the afternoon nap, we beginning to search through the net for getting ourself a movie date & dinner. We decided to go to the nearest. The Alamanda Putrajaya. Actually i have no idea where is these mall located exactly, but with the help of gps, its easy to find~ Ohhh... we accidently drove to the Minister's office.. hehe.. first time visiting it~!
We took our dinner at a steamboat restaurant called Johnny's. First time taking steamboat with BB.. keke.. We then collect our ticket for our movie date. Terminator.. Its not my kind of movie, but BB likes it. I didn't even watch the first few epi before this. After the movie, we took a walk around the mall, to be frank, for a person who always wander around mega malls like One U, Pavillion & Mid Valley, this mall is consider rather boring for me, more like a neighbourhood mall... But we explore some surfing outfit shop to look for BB's quicksilver pants.. He pretend to angry with me for not letting him to buy it at Kuantan~ SORRY BB!
oooohhh... something terrible happens before we leave the mall, BB wants to go out to replenish his drug (Ciggy of course) while i go to the wash room, i kinda realise there are a group of Chinese students looking at me, when i go to the washroom, there's one of them follow, but he goes into the gents. When i came out from the ladies, i saw this guy exposing his private part and began rubbing it and show it to me!!!!!! EWWWWWWWW!!!! This pervert! i quickly ran back to BB and told him the story, while walking back to the carpark, i still saw this pervert smilling at me from the escalator~ yucks~!!! disgusting to max! Nightmare!
I quickly forgot about the unpleasent experience when me reach to the resort and BB suggest to go for a drink. We took sometime to look for this Tree House Bar in the resort. The resort is really quite at night, i think people came here for relaxation, thats why there are not too keen of night entertainment. The bar was run by a friendly Indian guy, he and BB have a great chat... BB is super friendly, he even talks to strangers in a lift. The Pub isn't too happening, we 2 are the first and last guest. We spend a few hours in the Tree House pub until we're real tired and decided to go back for a rest.
 The next morning, we got up from bed reluctantly and goes for a late buffet breakfast at Bistro Casata.. It looks like an arabian house in Alladdins. This mark then end of our vacation and we have to back to the reality! work next day!

Dengue Diary

I were infected with dengue at end of March this year.... chamzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I started off with a fever when i start to drive back form Tesco after an usual sunday grocery... What worse is that day i got stuck in a  massive jam in Kota Damansara.And i need to cancel a dinner appointment with a friend due to my bad headache.. Fall asleep right away once i reach home and took the pills...  At the midnight, even though i turn off the air con & fan, i still feel super duper cold as if it hits right into my bone...
The next morning, i really can't wake up and make myself to work, and i gotta drag myself up in the afternoon to see doctor. Its just a normal consultation and nobody did suspect i were infected with dengue..

I were given normal fever pills and antibiotics. My 2nd half of my day was alright, i am fit to do any activity and the fever faded, but it comes back again in the evening and stretchhhhhhh all the way to the next morning.

I spend my 2 days going through these and "rajinly" eat all the medicines doctor given to me...  On the 3rd day morning, as i abscene from work for so many days, though i still have a mild fever, but i force myself for a shower to at least feel fresher to work. My appetite was really bad, even plain water makes me feel like puking! So, i skiped the breakfast, thinking that i can get a malt drink in the office later... struggle with my dizziness to drive a 30km to work, I reached to work in extremely tired and unwell condition.. Forcefully sitting at my place and do some outstanding works, reply to colleagues greeting in the mildest tone (Only semut can hear).. After about an hr in office, my boss at last couldn't stand my sick face and he force me to go home. As the doctor's advice on my first consultation, i have to go for a blood test if my fever condition doesn't improve after 2 days.

Since i'm already in Kota Kemuning, i went to clinic Alam Medic for another consultation, I were so scare of the blood test and i beg BB to company me. BB of course put down all his work and company me for another consultation and going through the blood test process with me... My waiting for my turn is endlessly long and i'm so nervous. After so many years since my last blood test, i think it should be 10 years ago since i done it in Singapore.. As expected, i need to do a blood test to check if i'm dengue infected. Doctor Gina used a strapband to tie my arm, and used a needle to take some blood speciment from me! Its painful 1000xxx.. Doctor suspected that i'm seriously under dehydration and she wants me to do a urine test. I drank 2 glasses of water in the clinic and waited anxiously to pee. Doctor told me if i'm proven to be dehydrated, i have to go for drips...sooooooooo scared!!!!

I waited for more than an hr to have my urine specimen.. As expected, my dehydration level is so high. I tried so hard to negotiate with the doctor for not putting drips for me and promise i'll keep drinking water when i reach home... But doctor stand so firm and insist to put the IV drip for me... Soooooo scare, this is the first time in my life time i have to put on a drip..  Worst still! i just did blood test an hr ago.. now i have to be poke by needle again~ owwwwww... faint!

Doctor tried to poke the needle to the back of my palm to connect to the drips later... The first attemp fail!!! My first poke on the lelf back palm hits my bones and doctor slumberly take it out and poke on my right back palm~! one word to describe - "pain to infinity"!!!!!!! I was left on the bed alone weakly with my painful wounds. On and off i sms and talk to bb.. In between, i have to carry the rack with drips around when i need to go to the loo... some movement cause the presurre change and blood back flow from my veins to the tube~!! It scare the hell out of my, i thought my blood is going to drain just like that... A long 2 hrs of drips is over and i'm obviously look less weak. Doctor allowed me to go home for a rest and the next day to go back again for another full blood count.

Some brief info about dengue, one gets it, the first symptom will be fever, when the fever fades, the blood plaletes in the blood will be dropping.. My reading 104 at the first day.. A normal person should have 150 and above! So, i'm allow not to admit to hospital... Really thank god! I'll never ever want to be admit to hospital. I was advise to drink 100 Plus.. I tell you, i drink until i'm scare of 100 plus even after 4 months now.

Everyday i have to goes back for blood test for the following 3 days and each day the plaletes count is dropping.. Everyone is worry for me and me too worrying that i can't be recover in time to go to cambodia.. Both my hand are full of bruises and needle mark thanks to the blood test! And my weight has drastically drop from 50Kg to 46kg.. i left bones only!

I do being told of a lot of folk prescription from everyone from everywhere. Doctor said 100 Plus, some say crab soups, some say coconut drink, some say corn husk and some say american ginseng soup, and i take all just hopping that i can get well soon so that i do not have to be admited to Hospital. Well, at that time i really prepare for the worst!

On the Saturday of the same week, i went for my blood test again, this time, its not Doctor Gina on duty,  this doctor took my blood and in the evening, i got a call from clinic and told me to collect a refer letter to be admit to hospital since my condition is not improving. How can it be???? I physically are recovered, i can eat and live as usual, not even feeling weak anymore. Under no choice, even me trying to negotiate with this Doctor to observe me for another day... she refuse and insist me to go to hospital! wtf! I packed my stuff and ready to stay a night at SJMC. I can still remember that day was the Earth hour day, of course they do not shut down all electricity in SJMC, but they do their support by shutting down the lobby lights. Everywhere is dark including my feeling~ because i'm going to be admited to hospital soon ever since i were born!

I had a great wait at the emergency wad at SJMC, about an hr plus to reach my turn... guess what! another blood test~ But this blood test worth the pain, because reading shows that my plaletes count has increase, i refuse to stay a night in hospital and i'm allowed to go home.. Knowing the blood count numbers is increasing, everyone feels much more relief, it means my condition is stable and improving. Anyway, i were suggest to come back for a final check on the next monday.

The Monday checking is a real ripped off from SJMC, i were refer to a transmitted desease specialist call Dr. Anita. Guess what, after 2 hrs wait for her, she see through my blood count result from the previous day, then she tell me :"ok, you're recovered." and i were being charge RM150 for telling me i'm recovered~! wtf!
There goes my 7 days of dengue experience, and after 2 days, i flew to Cambodia alone~! Weeeeeee! Thank you Dr. Gina, and thank you to anyone who take care of me at that time~

After 4 months on today, my antibody used up and being strike by a flu again~ :(
