Travelling up north, to the end.

It was really an experience. Yes it really is.

Most importantly it was the road, the journey, the stress, the sked-ness and the time spent on the road. It was up till the point that it really practices your consciousness. I'm still able to blog about this at this time, cause i was the only one on leave tmr haha.

I have never driven on roads that goes curvy at the same time uphill and down towards. Overtaking humongous trucks and super duper slow old metal that still moves on the road. Learning how to put signals, pressing down the accelarator all the way down, and off course, cheating death. I managed to cheat death a hell lots of times surviving.

I admit i am actually a slow driver, nevertheless safe :) But this time i really had no choice lol. Never ever i would drive any vehicle through this route anymore, maybe up till a few years later till they widen the road with 2 lanes.

All i would say its the experience.

We actually planned to go on Friday night, after we are done with the office. But Yong advises us not to drive at night as it was our first time with no experience driving with truckers and cows dazzling on the unbearable one single lane roads. Yes he was right to me.

So we stopped at ipoh and crashes at Ivan's place instead. I seriously never drive that fast lah, haih they no trust me.

I managed to get a bite of Ming Court for dim sum this time, which i have tried Fo Shan on my previous visit.

Ming Court actually taste better, like what Ivan have told me but yet to prove it myself.


So after that, Yong messaged us to buy strawberries lol. So then we headed through Cameron Highlands to reach Kota Bharu.





Me eating strawberry strudels. Actually my face just wake up, was sleeping in the aircon room whole night long cause dunno how to switch it off.


And after hours of driving, we finally reached Kota Bahru. Like finally, when we reach we are like woohoo. Yong was waiting for us :) We visited his shop, his new home. It was a definite pleasant stay we had. He brought us around to makan, visit, snack and much more stuff. But i was super tired after driving all day long. Didnt get proper sleep :( or else i would enjoy more.


The couple.


Thanks Yong, you had made our stay in Kelantan a good one lol. Im sure we enjoyed everything except the journey. It was a tiring trip, but it was surely a good experience.

It was a good one .... yes sure it does :)

Ivan please send the photo i requested pl0x.

Penang Walkaway

Just came back from Penang. Exhausted and tiring. After 10 yrs of not visiting Penang, it sure does change ALOT, hell lot.

So dam many cars, and narrow roads. Urgh.

First stop at Bidor. Ngap Tui Min.

Took our first dinner at Gurney Drive.

Crazy crowded. Cars and people.

Jam all the way there since the start of Tune Hotel.


Ate a lot which includes lor bak, char kuey teow, fried oyster, apom etc. Price was okay.

Due to the crazy jam and cars, video below ... come on' its already 1030.



.. chilled at Coffee Bean, watched manyoo vs newcastle match until about 1245am then leave peacefully without getting stucked in the crazy jam.

Still a lot of cars thou.

Next day relax at Batu Ferringhi, like a boss.


Then drove over to Hardrock to have a look. Very nice inside, awesomeness till the max.


Then drove down all the way south, to Queensbay Mall. Another crazy experience.

F**king hell lotsa cars man. Its like 100x worst than 1utama during weekends afternoon.

Imagine.

The autopay machine was so dam freakiiiiinnnnggg long. We saw it when we parked our car.

Frightened and nightmare.



The video is just one part of queensbay mall.

Asked someone to pick us from there and escape the nightmare =)

Crazy queue at the autopay.

First dinner, some seafood noodle.

Then second round, was already very full.

Then jalan jalan at Straits Quay. Very highclass place.

Its like Waterfront City in Docklands, Melbourne.



There's jetty aside for rich people to station their boats.

Very nice lightings during the night.





Didn't went to the pub nearby, was quite tired. Still need to head back to Queensbay Mall and collect our car.

Overall the experience driving to Penang during a long weekend is crazy.

Every single part in Penang Island is freaking crowded with cars and jam jam jam on highways.

Somebody say nightmare already.

Berjaya Hills

People should stop calling this place bukit tinggi, cause its own by Berjaya nao, so its called Berjaya Hills. Like every cent you spend here goes to Berjaya pocket.

Not many interesting thing to see, but the chilling weather here was awesome.

First it was the Japanese Village. The entrance was free, open to public.


Like what the hell, everyone syok sendiri in kimono taking pics.

Just a couple of huts, doesn't look like a village to me.


And there's this overpriced spa, i think the cheapest foot massage for an hour cost about rm500-600.

Next was the Botanical Garden.


It was just next to the Japanese Village, so just jalan jalan a few minutes.

I feel like hiking more than strolling. Walking up and downhill all the time, tired man.


Here comes the Rabbit Farm, it sounds big tho. More like a rabbit playground to me.

At first i thought there should be hundreds of rabbits but more like 20+ only.

I think the amount of kindergarten kids outnumbered the rabbits.


And just beside the farm, you get to see the view of the open golf course.


Not bad eh the green view.


Back to Colmar Tropicale, the french village themed resort. Yes, and that's the place where i took my rest as well for the night.





Performance was open to public as well, the last show i remembered was almost midnight.

Not many things to do at night, the photo above actually is enough to describe the size of the village.

You can imagine.


Not a bad experience afterall, cause the weather was awesome, cool breeze in the morning and night.

They should bring in more entertainment.

This is how we write farewell card.

Dunno who buckle safety belt until like this.

Its Been A While ..

Yes, since i last update my blog. How'sit goin mate?

Lets see ... okay i've started off my one month escapade 3 weeks back and i have 1 week to go before i start to huddle back to work. Ok this is one dam.

Its good to see how's life moving on in time pace.

People do come and go in our lives ... whether at work, friends back then and now. People who are the closest to us do change when you sit in different rally from time to time. After parting for a certain period ... we are often afraid that other people change, attitude wise and thoughts are not the same towards us anymore.

I try to love as many friends as possible ... i understand that most of the time i never get serious tho, but i can be ... trust me :)

I'm not a social bee, not a smart man who could use words to express his feeling, i can't crack jokes, not very humourous compare to back then .... i guess its a sign of age catching up. But i can be very friendly to you

So far, everything's good here .. weather is awesome but the air is refrigerated cold.

And can somebody please tell me stories bout happenings in Malaysia during my absence besides the "sikit sikit kena teargas terlantar di hospital .." video of najib on youtube.

Bai.

Been there done that: at KL Bird Park

Brushing up on my photography skills at KL Bird Park.



No doubt they did maintain this place very well. Birds look healthy. Environment looks decent. And no gugubird.









Thanks to tham thuck chuan for the guidance on waterfall shot.

And if you're just curious, i did not received any air strike during my stay :) Almost though.
