Journey to East Coast of Malaysia

24th August 08
We started the journey at 11.50am. It was 2.30pm when we reached Gambang, to attend Abg Fazil's wedding. About 2 1/2 hours with the average speed of 90km/h.. The distance? 200km++ I guess..
Lupa plak nak panggil pengantin pompuan bergambo. Org Ganu rerupanye yg Abg Fazil tackle tu.

From there we go straight to Cherating..Pretty hard to get the hotel/chalet with the best deal.. (clean room, nice view & of course free b'fast).. Luckily school holiday was just over. So the rate is a bit cheaper.

25th August 08
After took our 'heavy' breakfast.. (should I call it brunch = breakfast+lunch), we had a walk at the Cherating beach, we jumped into the pool..debuusssshhh...


Hmm, looks like she got talent in swimming..just like her father..haha..
Sorry Ummi..melentur buluh kene dari rebungnya..
Dah beso payah skt nak ajar berenang..hehehe..

After checked-out from the Suria Beach Resort, we continue our journey..heading to Terengganu.
We stopped by at Kemaman, to visit Na, Nad's roommate while in UIA. After lunch & prayer, we moved to Kuala Terengganu and arrived at 5.00pm.

Since we did not book any room, we looked around to find a hotel. I would describe Kuala Terengganu as a small, calm town..no hustle & bustle as we can see in KL or any big cities. Good place to live to those have high blood pressure.. No kidding..
After a while, we checked in at Felda Residence, newly opened hotel. Since it is new, there are a lot to complain..hehehe..

Tara..I am standing next to the "hot" car...
In the event you are not following local news, this car became a big hoo-ha recently, when the state replaced old Perdana with this E200K. Price is about RM300K ++.
Also at the same parking area, a S500 Mercedes Benz which can cost you half a million easily. That car belongs to Yang Di Pertua Negeri P.Pinang. The reason I couldn't snap that car because too many cops were around that time..hehehe..

Actually we decided to prolong the stay should the hotel is good enough.
No offence, but the room is so small, I couldn't bring in Amierah's 'buai'..

Happened to be the hotel we booked is even worse..hehehe..
Terengganu Equestrian Resort.. the main reason we booked here is to learn how to ride a horse.
However, the room allocated for us is at 3rd floor & there is no lift!!

So, at the end we checked in at Primula Beach Resort.
We are fortunate to be placed at this room. It is facing the garden & beach. The sound & wind of South China Sea are really relaxing.

Oh, the reason for this trip to happen is because my wife need to attend Deputy Registrar & Senior Assistant Registrar Conference.. That begins on 26th until 28th. So, here I am with Amierah in the hotel room for 3 days..
It's a good experience to be a Mr. Mama, except that I didn't cook. Hehehe.. While Amierah is sleeping, I will surf the Net. When she wakes up, it's time to feed & clean her up..

Shopping time!!!People who never been to KT, one place you cannot miss is Pasar Payang. After bought 'some' souvenirs for our families, we also been to Kg. Losong, the only place you can find keropok losong. It is one type of keropok lekor, it's just the taste that is slightly better. We've also been to Bazar Warisan. In the evening, we went to Seberang Takir to visit old friend Azie.
Best leave the shopping to women - Ciki

We departed from KT at about 8pm & arrived in Muar at 2am. About 6 hours journey which covered 450km. The most horrible routes are Gambang-Segamat & Segamat-Tangkak. Alhamdulillah..we safely reached home.
