of terengganu, kota bharu and thaipusam…
holla. how’s it been? pretty hot huh? as in sun hot. not hot hot.
went to kuala terengganu last thu (17.01.08). the highway was pretty windy. erm, VERY windy, so popped a novomin, and there u go. a sedated lilin for 10 hours! first thing first wen we reach kuala terengganu … nasi dagang! was pretty nice, wit a big chunk of curry tuna and acar- all for rm2.00 sahaja. cheapo cheapo. checked into the hotel and then… we hit the BEACH! the waves were awesome. nothing like the ones in the straits of malacca. no one dared to play in the sea, but there’s alwiz beach volleyball, soccer and captain ball =)
neways, the trip was all about makan makan makan (they actually bought turtle eggs, urghhhh) and main main main (the boys went to play futsal at 12+am after bbq-ing!). site visit was okay, but the town was kinda weird- cz it’s like a mix of zaman batu architecture and zaman sekarang architecture =S very confusing… but after the kononnya site survey, we went shopping shopping shopping!!! yay!!!
neways, after 2 days in kuala terengganu, off we go to kota bharu. guess wut, we makan-ed nasi dagang again. but the nasi is browner than kuala terengganu’s, so got a bit of variety la (o yea, for all three mornings, we had NASI DAGANG)… huwahhhh….
kelantan was … well… hot! man, the sun was showing off his FULL glory upon us! all of us got sun burnt i tink. or at least 5 shades darker. no kidding. final destination was rantau panjang. supposedly to be the duty free zone, everything there aso so MAHAL! at the end of the day, v bought ice creams and jambu air (can u beliv it? all the way there to buy fruits?!).
but the most interesting thing has yet to happen- on the way bek, we actually saw BABY ELEPHANTS beside the highway! wild elephants dude! cool!!! and they were so cute!!!
by midnite of sunday, we’r bek in penang. and the day after, i guess half of the studio ppl got sick. me inclusive. fever and flu. souvenirs from the east coast =S
despite the fever, and buddy’s sprained and seriously macam elephantisis ankle, we went to join the thaipusam celebration in… er… sumwer in penang. happening weh. so many ppl around, so much huge hindi-song-playing-speakers around and so many people wit piercings around! whooo… even kiddos weh. man… ouch!
spent the whole morning kepo-ing at the fest, came home wit yet another fever bout. padan muka. sakit still wanna go kepo. ><
anyhoo, twas a superb week. cny holiday’s coming soon. may we all have a blast =)
