Merantau ke pantai Timur

Day 1 (Tuesday)- Kelantan
Started our journey at 7:45 a.m. Ayah drove to Kulim n we stopped for breakfast - nasi lemak,roti teloq and tek tarik..Then, Along drove all the way.. jauhnya perjalanan... tido,bangun,tido,bangun ...masih belum sampai.. SOOOO boring. The road was terrible, jln berlubang, maybe that is why we don't hv to pay the tol. For those who are driving especially at night, better be extra careful on this lebuhraya to Pantai Timur. They said there might be elephants crossing d road and if you are lucky d elephants will just sit in d the middle of the road... i think sure it will be fun, blh tangkap gambar dgn all those elephants. We were swinging in the car each time Along tried to avoid the lubang...rasa nk MUNTAH! Sepanjang jalan...HUJAN...HUJAN...HUJAN..please don’t banjir at the end of this long winding road...
11:30 am- masuk Jeli...
1:00 pm- masih on the road...
2:10 pm- nampak Ketereh
2:35 pm- sampai rumah Pak.Uda
Malam tu...visit WAKAF CHE YEH...one of the famous shopping spot...pas tu dinner at ABE LONG .... the special nasi lemak yum2!

Day 2 (Wednesday)- ronda2 ke Rantau Panjang
8:30 am: Pasar Besar Kadijah in the middle of Kota Bharu town - lots of people...and lots of things to buy...I was amazed how mama shopped non-stopped. Now...I have to go and stop her... From Pasar Khadijah, we drove up north, stopped at one of the masjid, which looks more like a temple with the Chinese architecture. It is called Masjid Beijing..... then driving lagi sampai ke Rantau Panjang. I was told that Rantau Panjang is the border town to Thailand... There were lots of people everywhere. Where did they come from? I guess i have to ask myself..hehe.. The weather was sooo hot, berpeluh n not comfy. Susah betul cari parking. We had lunch at 3.00 pm, then we start our SHOPPING... For those who loves to shop dtg laa ke Ranatau Panjang...and jgn lupa bawak duit byk2...Yo people byk benda utk dibeli...You have to come and see for yourself..what I bought??? biaq laa rahsia...lots of nice things..but mama bought even MORE... the shopping continues sampai dh tak larat.... At 5:30 pm we drove back to Kota Bharu. The day was tiring but it was FUN FUN FUN!!...
Ayah Chor n family arrived late that night...more people in the house... n as the saying goes...the more the merrier...more bising n talking....




Day 3 (Thursday)-Kuala Terengganu
We had breakfast... lots of people n food. Then, we drove all the way south (selatan)...cuaca panas n hujan sekejap2. Along drove non-stopped sbb xde rest area..lots of kampung on both sides of the roads along the east coast...so had to drive slow..arrived in Kuala Terengganu around 2.30 pm. Having hard time finding Grand Continental. After lunch, ikut teksi sampai ke Taman Tamadun Islam...Canteekkk nye masjid Crystal!!!..sempat juga melawat replica masjid2 terkenal di seluruh dunia...very nicely made and uniquely built..
Mlm activity ziarah...kampung uncle mokhtar di Marang..first time mkn nasi dagang



Day 4 (Friday)-Kuantan
Checked out and had breakfast at Marang, Terengganu, kampung Ustazah... very interesting with d house facing Laut China Selatan n Pulau Kapas. Uncle mokhtar n Aunty Kuzi pn ada..We went strolling at the beach.... What a view! We left at 11.00 am, heading to Kuantan... passing through towns such as Rantau Abang which is famous with its penyu, Dungun and Kertih which is famous with its petronas....blah blah blah. Along continued driving until we arrived in kuantan 2.00 pm. Besar jugak bandar Kuantan. We stopped at Telok Cempedak... mkn2, take pictures n chow. Our journey continued to KL. Nmpk UMP (Universiti Malaysia Pahang) kt highway..the Karak highway seems scary n not safe. Ada gak kumpulan Mat rempit "superman"... Along drove fast to avoid night time at the highway. Alhamdulillah... we arrived at Mak Long's house in Cheras at 8.00 pm..Makan then TIDO .... penat gilers




Day 5 (Sabtu)- Ronda2 KL
Around 9.00 am outing ngn family n mak Long ke Berjaya Times Square...xde spa nk teman naik rides. Semua takut tengok roller coster yg scary tu.... so xjadi naik. Yg lain semua gi bowling. Mama n mak long bersembang tak stop. Me... cuma tengok je roller coster sbb xdibenarkan naik tanpa org teman...From there, we went to Masjid India.... SHOPPING lagi ..sakan giler shopping tudung n mcm2. Dh tu, ke Grand Central jumpa Pak Long. Mlm Pak Long belanja satay Kajang...sedap3


Day 6 (Sunday)- Back to penang
Along drove, ikut keta Pak Long ke Teluk Intan for kenduri....Lps kenduri, singgah ipoh visit opah then finally home... Highway jam gilerr sepanjang jalan menuju ke arah KL. Nasib baik hala ke Penang ok je.... so we sailed smoothly sampai Penang. Arrived at home at 7.00 pm
Wahhh.... i really miss my bed n my pillow. 

The trip was FUN n exciting. Best dpt round half Malaysia... walaupun letih. Thank you all .... 2 je kowt for now...need to clean lots of things.....
