The French group is leaving too today, the cute guy came over to my chalet and ask how's my night market dinner is, not bad .... but he's not having much luck with his Thai dinner though. I like it when we talk, he always has the smile, and always look into my eyes .... and I do the same, I like myself for doing that as well <img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>I decided to went out for a walk, with the camera, hope to get nearer to the horses this time, get a clear shot <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> .

Brought back the memory, and the faces of those who are no longer with me now and the moments that we used to share. </p> <p>Once back to the chalet, I checked with Danielle on the bills ..... and she suggested that I just keep my backpack in the office after I hv checked out and stay around the chalet before depart for the airport. Seems to be a fine idea for me <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>Chatting with Danielle, a 19 years old Dutch girl who like to hv her skin tanned before going bk to Holland in Sept <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> ..... na, Danielle is more than that. Listen to her story, found out a little bit more abt the education system in Holland.

Maybe and also becoz of my colon movements <img src="/img/smilies/grayrazz.gif" alt=":b" class="middle" border="0"> . Was keep thinking that I'm going to ask the French group (2 man + 1 woman + 1 kid) to share the taxi with me to the city today ...... anyone speak French here ???</p> <p>So, being the effective TC when comes to having fun, I hv get myself all ready by 8am ...... while the other holidays makers just woke up from their sleep and getting fresh air at their porch. Changed my mind as I wanted to see merry Siti Khadijah Market in the morning, wonder how long it will took the French group to get themself ready. I ask the gardener what bus to take, and the way to the main road ...... and there I started my walking tour today <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>Just when I'm start having my morning walk, I heard a motorbike honk from behind and then the all smiling garderner stopped besides me and offering me a ride <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> ..... boy, such a wonderful morning <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif" alt="B)" class="middle" border="0"> . I didn't bring along my telescope with me, luckily the bus driver keep flashing the light to me from far along ..... I put up a stop signal, better to stop the wrong bus then to miss the right one, hehe <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>RM1.20 ...... and I hv my 20 minutes ride to the Kota Bahru city. Once reached the bus stop, the Tourism Information Centre is just opposite the bus stop ..... well, might as well ask for direction for the places that I wish to go today, the counter girl keep telling all the places is "dekat sahaja" (just nearby). OK, I'll count on her words ..... and let's go and fix my stomach <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>I climb all the way up to the 3rd floor of the market, as per the brochure suggested, this is the best place to take the view of the colorful stalls down at the 1st floor ...... hmmmm, but why I didn't get the same effect as what I watched from the brochure, bad photographing skills I suppose <img src="/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" class="middle" border="0"> . Hei, did I saw a basket of turtle eggs there ??? Tot the selling is illegal (later that night, Kak Ya told me that it is still very much legal, ewwww) .</p> <p>Didn't bought any of the salty fish, shrimp, or fish chips ..... last time I did that in KK, turns out the foods are not fresh, not gonna take my risk ..... somemore I'm lazy to carry them <img src="/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif" alt=":DD" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>I need FOOD <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"> ...... I found the food court at the 2nd floor of the market, but the food looks quite spicy to take especially in early morning <img src="/img/smilies/grayuhoh.gif" alt="U-(" class="middle" border="0"> . Luckily, I found a Koay Teow Soup stall and order the Koay Teow Perut(cow stomach) ...... it tastes good, especially with the chili powder, remind me of the one in Luang Prabang <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"> . So, I sit right in front the stall, squeeze with the locals who's at the same time having the spicy nasi lemak ..... while sweating while looking around, while enjoying my RM4.70 Koay Teow Perut + MILO.</p> <p>After filling up the stomach ..... I started my walking tour, visited the Royal Musuem, checking on tourists who took photos in front of the Balai Besar (no entrance insides there), spotted a few PG plat number cars. It is suprisingly merry around the area, makes me wonder if the economy downturn ever exist ???</p> <p>I seems to be having problem translating the city map (which rarely happens to me) ..... I ask for direction to the another 2 musuem which are just across the road, and the bus driver happily pointed me to go further down the other road ........ and here I go, walked for abt 1km and sense smth is definitely wrong after I reached the Petronas petrol station but no sign of musuem <img src="/img/smilies/grayno.gif" alt=":no:" class="middle" border="0"> . After asking help from a stall owner, I hv to walk back again, guess you can't get too relax while on holidays, not when comes to direction <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>Spotted a quiet jetty when I almost reach the musuem, decided that I shld have just take rest and have a nap <img src="/img/smilies/icon_yawn.gif" alt=":yawn:" class="middle" border="0"> ...... hehe . So, there I'm, sharing the jetty with a pakcik ..... looking over the Kelantan River (much alike Mekong), the villages across the river, spring wind blow over and I'm into my dreamland <img src="/img/smilies/graysleep.gif" alt=":zz:" class="middle" border="0"> . </p> <p>Headed for my lunch and decided to frequent to a Chinese restaurant, my favourite dishes, Chicken Rice <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> ..... RM3.50. The local chinese speaks Hokkien, in a slightly different slang than the PG's style. Move to War Musuem ...... i'm the only visitor, the cupboard door open by itself when I walked by <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"> , errrrrr ..... is there anything I shld know abt this musuem ??? </p> <p>Final stop of the day, the Cultural Centre ...... I'm early and was dissapointed to know that they no longer showing how to play the Wau (big kite), as lack of venue coz it needed a big space. Anyway, have my fun by trying the Kertok (drum percussion) ..... did I say I always wanted to try tabla ??? </p> <p>When I finally make it back to Pasir Belanda, it's 5 smth in the evening. Still some time to spend before I go to the night market with Kak Ya ..... end up gather the village girls and teach them how to play the monkey ball game <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> . And then we have the French little boy, and then the French cute guy to join in. I can't remember when it's the last time I hv ever jump up so high or running like a leopard like I did that evening <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"> . It's fun to see each of the kids has their own way handling the game, a girl especially is tension whenever I get to be the monkey and try to catch the ball thrown by her <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> . The French boy, definitely the Man Of The Match ..... working hard and throwing himself everywhere to protect the ball from the "monkey", even though he's hardly 4 years old, I think. Of coz, I enjoy the eyes contacts with the cute French guy too <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>Dinner is RM2.00 for the Nasi Kerabu and Murtabak, RM1.00 ...... spend the night chatting with Kak Ya, listen to the chants from the owls. Thick clouds, I'm going to miss the star gazing on my final night in Kelantan <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>Back to my comfort bed, it somehow fix my sleeping problem <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> .... I don't dream as often as I did at home, and have better quality sleep <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> .

I'm one of them before 02 May 2009 <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>I reached Kota Bahru's Sultan Ismail Petra airport at 2:40pm, and saw no others commercial planes around, and wonder is it true that Kelantan is a laid back state <img src="/img/smilies/grayuhoh.gif" alt="U-(" class="middle" border="0"> ...... but I do aware that my flight does have lots of european passengers, hmmmmm ...... I always tot that tourists mostly go thru Terengganu state to go to Perhentian or Redang island.</p> <p>Jump into the airport taxi and the chalet that I stay in is quite familiar to ppl around, I relax myself and just let the driver drive me to the place. When the driver told me that he will take me thru the village road, I asked if he can slow down so I am able to look around and enjoy the scenery <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> (didn't know they hv F1 circuit here). And so he does, slowing down, giving me explaination of the village views ..... and suddenly I shouted "Who's palace is this ???". The driver chuckles and said it's not a palace, just the villager's bungalow house ....... and mind you, that's the starting point of my village bungalow house tour <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>After having my mouth wide open, amazed by how luxury the houses in the village area ..... finally I reached my chalet, the "Pasir Belanda Resort" (actually just 15 minutes ride from the airport). It was exceptionally hot that evening, 34 degree Celsius ....... I asked the receiptionist girl, if this is normal ??? Turns out she's travelling too and just reached couple of days ago. Harry, the Dutch owner and his family were away for a trip ..... so, he has Danielle, the Dutch Lady <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> to help out.</p> <p>The aircon in the room is not helping a bit, took my shower and still can't fall asleep ...... and I decided to rent the bicycle and make a ride to the Pantai Cahaya Bulan. Turns out most of the bikes are suit for europeans, I merely got 1 that suit my height and let me landed safely incase I bump into the cows <img src="/img/smilies/grayrazz.gif" alt=":b" class="middle" border="0"> . </p> <p>After getting very limited info from Danielle, I hit on the road ..... bingo, wrong turn, I ride into a villager area and ask the pakcik for direction, need to make an 180 degree turn to hit another direction of the road. I have not ride a bicycle in ages ....... you can imagine my clumsiness when comes to a corner, hit the bumper, or whenever I need to make a stop for a direction. I have ask almost everyone <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"> , the pakcik (elder man), makcik(elder woman), adik (kid) ...... but I didn't ask any abang(adult man), just in case it's still not appropriate for a single lady to chat with any man in the village (I didn't hv the code of conduct guideline <img src="/img/smilies/grayshy.gif" alt=":." class="middle" border="0"> ).</p> <p>I reached the beach after riding for abt 40 mins ..... the beach is crowded with visitors <img src="/img/smilies/graybigeek.gif" alt="88|" class="middle" border="0"> . Well, but no one is swimming though (just knew later that bikinis are not allowed in Kelantan beach) ..... ppl are flying kites, munching snacks (I can only munch on my Chipsmore, 4get to bring my purse with me <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wth.gif" alt="|-|" class="middle" border="0"> ), taking photos, walking on the beach. I decided to ride to the far end to have a more quiet space ...... turns out the bike doesn't has lock, I can't walk away too far from the bike, else I will need to walk back <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> . And mind you, I'm the only person that ride a bicycle to the beach, everyone is taking car, buses, or motorbike ..... ewwwww, now I looks like a villager already <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>The dark clouds is crawling and quickly fill up the sky, I decided to ride back as the dinner will be served at 7pm. I hv never go thru a war, but riding thru the kampung(village) road, makes me feel like I'm in a war zone ...... the wind is blowing so strong, I was so afraid that I will be hit by the missile == coconuts <img src="/img/smilies/grayuhoh.gif" alt="U-(" class="middle" border="0"> . And yes, the rain did falls on me <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"> ..... guess God heard my prayer for some rain, but we didn't really discuss abt the timing though <img src="/img/smilies/graysigh.gif" alt=":**:" class="middle" border="0"> . But no worry, I easily slick into a pakcik's house and ask for shelter ..... and started my communication channels with the local. We talked abt the riot in the stadium not so long ago, I even bald enough to ask why he's not preparing the dinner yet <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> (influence from maarten, he's always been bald) ..... turns out he owns a restaurant around the stadium, did I ask for discount coupon ????</p> <p>I left when the rain is getting smaller, only to find it getting heavier after a while n hv to get shelter from an old makcik this time <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"> . She kindly invited me to sit in the porch with her, where there's sofa and warmer ..... she with her Kelantan dialect and I hv to guess what she's trying to say. But I survived, having to know enough abt her family and knew that she's abt to cook the rice and her son will buy the dishes from outsides <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> ...... yes, I'm that hungry <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> . After finishing the warm water that she offered to me, I made my way "home" ...... it's getting dark now, and I just made the call to the chalet, told Danielle I hv somehow get into another village and will be late for dinner .... try my very best to find the way back <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0">. Danielle is concern and ask I must call again if I'm really lost ....... hmmmm, I hope not <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wth.gif" alt="|-|" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>After asking 4 more persons, I finally on the right track back, saw the Pasir Belanda sign board ....... but hey, I need to ride through the Muslim cemetary <img src="/img/smilies/graybigeek.gif" alt="88|" class="middle" border="0"> ..... cool, I saw nothing <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> . And when I'm 500m away from the chalet, bump into a guy who's on his bike, and he's kind enough to lead me back ...... only to ask for my phone number later, errrr. And here I am, wet, tired, exhausted and yet still manage to grab a date in Kelantan <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> ...... I parked the bike, show my face to Danielle and Kak Ni and rush for my dinner. Bump into the other holiday makers who had already finished their meals, I'm that late. </p> <p>Kak Ya, the aunty who live behind the chalet, is the chef for the guests who order meals from the chalet. Turns out, she's from Alor Setar, Kedah .... and her sisters live around my neighborhood. So, I am being consider as her "kampung mate" and even can have free ride with her motorbike to the night market the next day <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0">. Kak Ya is such a nice woman, funny and laugh on all my silly jokes ..... gosh, I miss her now <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> . The dinner is toooooo much for me, 5 dishes for myself alone <img src="/img/smilies/graybigeek.gif" alt="88|" class="middle" border="0"> ..... next time I shld be more careful when making the order.</p> <p>So, I was being told abt the Pasir Belanda history, how's Harry current residency is used to live by an Englishman, who is the advisor to the Kelantan Sultan ..... and the brillant investment by Harry, and the peak low season of the year, how handsome Harry is <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0">. Kak Ya hv the tendency to label every man as "handsome", haha ..... but I guess she view everyone as "beautiful" ..... this only can be done if you yourself have a beautiful heart <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">.</p> <p>I walked back to my chalet with Kak Ya keep asking from behind "Are you afraid to walk back" ..... Nope, but I do afraid of the frogs though <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> . A HK couple was there previously, her wife was traumatised by the sounds made by the owl <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>I hit my romantic bed after reading a few pages of "Tuesday With Morrie" ...... no stars tonight, but it's ok, it is still a "moy" (Kak Ya told me it's beautiful in Dutch, not sure abt the spelling though <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> ) night <img src="/img/smilies/icon_lalala.gif" alt=":lalala:" class="middle" border="0"> . </p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/my_romantic_room/3480597" title="My romantic room :)"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/597/3480597_854f8f64ab_s.jpg" alt="My romantic room :)" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/starbucks_corner/3480598" title="Starbucks Corner"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/598/3480598_f7f92c95cb_s.jpg" alt="Starbucks Corner" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/pantai_cahaya_bulan/3480599" title="Pantai Cahaya Bulan"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/599/3480599_3bfbbd2f4d_s.jpg" alt="Pantai Cahaya Bulan" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/zoom_in_that_s_my_bike/3480600" title="Zoom in, that"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/600/3480600_d423f8b937_s.jpg" alt="Zoom in, that" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/giant_tc/3480601" title="Giant TC"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/601/3480601_13e0f82451_s.jpg" alt="Giant TC" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/getting_sunset/3480602" title="Getting sunset"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/602/3480602_d253031666_s.jpg" alt="Getting sunset" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/traditional_kampung_house/3480603" title="Traditional kampung house"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/603/3480603_7cd2cb2e47_s.jpg" alt="Traditional kampung house" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/missile_field_p/3480604" title="Missile field :P"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/604/3480604_7edfb02b7d_s.jpg" alt="Missile field :P" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/the_modern_luxury_kmapung_house/3480605" title="The modern luxury kampung house"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/605/3480605_3964510e6b_s.jpg" alt="The modern luxury kmapung house" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/palace_eh/3480606" title="Palace, eh"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/606/3480606_0acad0b395_s.jpg" alt="Palace, eh" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://teckchoo.blog.co.uk/2009/05/06/kb-trip-part-i-6069008/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://teckchoo.blog.co.uk/2009/05/06/kb-trip-part-i-6069008/Wed, 06 May 2009 14:25:37 +0200 <p>Yeah, right ..... I dream abt Yemen, but I can just settle for a local trip as at now. Well, it's not a cheap trip though it's a domestic trip, blame it on my good taste on the accomodation <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>So, I will be having 4 days holidays in beginning of May ..... and finally make my Kelantan trip a reality, confirmed the accomodation and the flight tickets this evening ...... my accomodation agent is such a "relax" guy, said he'll reply my email tomorrow, and I hv to make him to confirm using the SMS cause I hv to grab those promo tickets from MAS ASAP.</p> <p>Thought that I will be renting the bicycle, and travel around the Kota Bahru city ...... but with the hot weather these days, I am a bit worry.

The 1st time for me to attend an Indian style wedding dinner (show that how un-muhibbah I'm all this while <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"> ).</p> <p>To my delight, we're not ask to wait for 1 hour until the couple show up, then only we're allow to start the dinner ...... we can start eating at exactly the time stated in the invitation card, though there's no sight of the couple yet <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0">. It's a buffet style, so we happily help ourself with the well cooked curry mutton and chicken, though the mutton is a bit too spicy for me <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"> ....... but I'm a happy man with food in stomach <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>The guets are getting more and more later that evening, and we quickly made our move to the "chamber" on the stage to congratulate the couple, quite chaotic as everyone is mobbing for the couple. And hv my right foot toes stepped by my colleague <img src="/img/smilies/graydead.gif" alt="XX(" class="middle" border="0"> , thank God that I didn't spilled out the mutton becoz of the pain (again, I can't stand pain).</p> <p>Next, we move to enjoy the Sat night, by watching the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" ....... suprisingly the cineplex is packed with audiences, guess it shld be a nice one. The show is quite entertaining, and didn't expect Scarlett Johnson is so curvy <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> ...... still remember her as the teenager in the movie "The Horse Whisperer". Guess the movie just let each of the audiences remind of their own experience, at least for me <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> .</p> <p>And then, came the highlight of the night, the scare ....... when we reached the parking paying machine, our driver realised that his wallet is no longer with him <img src="/img/smilies/graybigeek.gif" alt="88|" class="middle" border="0"> . There we go, 4 system analysts start analyse the situation (hv to restart my brain at midnight <img src="/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" class="middle" border="0"> ). We checked the car, cineplex, toilet, trash bin ..... still were dissapointed. Nothing much to do, and so my friend logged the report with the cinema staff, hoping they hv found it right after the show (explain why my friend cudn't find it when he's escorted by the staff), or later when the other show is over.</p> <p>Raining, slow traffic on the way back ......
