Makan beramai-ramai

14th Ramadhan... wow... so fast....
Our yearly routine of pot-luck Buka Puasa.

again, this year... we invaded Rash&Miem's home.... with new addition to the tribe- Adam & Azreen... oh yeah, and Alma... but she's not here in this pix coz she 'balik kampung' early with her mama & papa :) Chup... semua ahli baru nama "A"?Next in line, Kak Ilah's house to be attacked. yeaahaa

Buka puasa with the gurls. yes... Girls... chup, how many berpuasa here?

As I am typing this, my niece keeps saying "This is Sabrina-baby mother".... It seems that her kindergarten younger-than-her fren named Sabrina... has a mother who looks like Elena... hoho....Oppps... apparently, us Girls are already in our aunty-hood / motherhood....

but as always.... young at heart... even if the number of candles keep increasing every year.

In this case.... the 3 in 1 candle...  This is actually a siok-sendiri thing... coz our birthdays are so so so belated already! That explains why Joe is in denial here :P


Alrights...dats all folks :D

Stamina bertangga ke Bukit Bendera

WOKES..... mari Cargas semula.

Kali ni ~ Bukit Bendera.

Bukit Bendera or Flag Hill is one of Penang's most popular tourist sites. One of its main attractions is the Cable Car... the other would be the view from top.


To reach Bt Bendera on foot.... there are quite a number of tracks... One from Botanical Garden (MoonGate), then another from Youth Park. Even from MoonGate... there are more than 1 track for us to choose from.

I went hiking there 2 times recently. We started from Moon Gate. There is another track - from the Jeep Route, so it's tar road all the way up. From MoonGate - hill track.

mula-mula... so semangat!

Then jadi mcm nyawa2 ikan bila tgk the stairs.... Stairs of Horror as Zue put it. Tgk je la... byk steps n curam2 jugak :{~

First station: Station 5 ~ here, we have outdoor gym instruments... Free drinks (plain water / chinese tea)- not sure on weekdays ada tak... and resting/lepaking spots.

CONTINUE:

Phew... no mo stairs of horror! but challenging nonetheless. Quite interesting track :-) Nice View along the way.

Our second Station.... Station 84 ~ Resting place and Plain water available.

From station 84.... we can choose whether to continue on hill/jungle track or jeep route (tar road). On our first time, since there were only 3 of us, girls... we chose the tar road since someone told us that the hill track is a bit confusing and we might get lost....

TAR / Jeep Route:
So here's our Tar Road journey, Hehe:
(marked Red - a track approaching from other fork) - this is where we tembus kuar on our 2nd trip.

Yeahhh..... Sampai...Jeep route 5.0 km :D for us: (2.5km from station 84 + hill trek, not sure)



Hill / Jungle Track:
The following week.... we chose the hill trek.

It's very challenging.. very steep and dirty :D but at the same time... nicer view :D
And actually we were quite lost... we were supposed to come out at 4.6km fork.... But we kinda pusing2 bulatan mana entah... and got out at 3.8km, hiking back on jeep route. taking us longer time than expected.



at 4.6km.... we chose another route... not jeep route.... and finally... made it UP to the TOP!




My rough sketch.....
Both these tracks start from Botanical Garden (MoonGate / JeepRoute).



Actually there are more tracks.... There was this guy who told us, they climb to station 5 and from station 5 they use a different track known as Bukit Pondan before exiting to station 84. Aikk bukit pondan? Never heard of it before... maybe next trip eh.... hehe

Ok Bukit Bendera sudah..... What next? :D

Monkey Beach & Muka Head Lite House

Hiking- Monkey Beach & Muka Head Lite House.

Last year and the year before, we went to Kerachut Beach. As story-moried before, Kerachut Beach has meromitic lake and we were lucky enough to have experienced both the phenomenons.

This time, we chose different track. Our target destination = Monkey Beach but the ultimate goal = Light House. For Canopy Walk, we had to take a different fork but we didn't as were not interested to do canopy walk that day.

Look at the board... Monkey Beach is also known as Teluk Duyung? Monkey is Monyet in bahasa and Duyung is Mermaid in English.... Hmmm.... i still can't figure out how to infer this. maybe there's some logical .. no.. maybe some mythical explanation to this :P

All the way, the sight of the sea can be seen / heard.

After around 20-30 minutes...


What caught our eyes:

We passed this building and the beach.... Continued our hike to monkey beach.

And the track got more challenging. The roots, the rantings... which is which pun tak sure daa..

A bit of stunts here and there:

And finally... Monkey Beach.. see any monkeys or duyung (mermaids) ??
Roughly 45minutes.

Yap..Boat Service is avalaible. But on that day, we decided to hike to and fro...

Rehat kejap.... 15minutes.

Then... Ok.. go on?? Hmmmm... the signboard says 1.2 km.. Well... only 1.2 km left maa..

But... OMG.... so la mencabar!!! curam nyaa.. hukhuk....

I was not prepared mentally for the curam-ness... but.. anyhow... after susah payah.... 3o minutes later.... all of us were up there!!! in the lite house... up and looking down at this:

looking over d horizon

Me in d lite bulp:

hmmm...
if I switch On the lights.. will my shadow be seen in the sky just like batman's?

Going back to Monkey Beach

We had our lunch at monkey beach... (kerusi, bench, meja disediakan)....

Sewaktu aku tgh melahap kepak ayam....

mereka datang untuk membuktikan point: "What? mermaids?? This is MONKEY Beach, ok... our Beach! so now gimmie ur chicken or I shall.......%^^&^%$#"


Agak scary, but pandai-pandai lah ... Finish makan cepat-cepat... they came in a group to get wat's left to be scavenged... diggin in the rubbish bins and all...

We hiked back....and we reached the visitor centre at around 2.30pm...

ERK.... My kasut terkorban otw hiking balik... huhu... Imagine hiking back with one side of the shoes ternganga... of course... by the time sampai balik.. jari2 ku sudah melecet... adeh...


BUT.... summary: MMG besss..... and Puas Hati !! :D

Menuju Puncak Gemilang Cahaya...

Back to Active Mode... Cargas! Cewah ...

I did gain some extra weight lately... but that's not the only reason why I am actively working out these days. There's this Cabaran bulan Mei.... a goal to be achieved and for that, I neeeed lotsa lotsa stamina! Stamina!!! phew.. @_@

Btw, it's kinda hard to keep up with gym since I am always on wheel back n forth from my hometown and cramped with workloads. But gosh, I really have to push myself now... May is just around the corner. Like one of my friends said "Semuanya akan berlaku dalam bulan April" Yessz....for me tooo! cramp lah semuanya. Hmpppt... takper, will have my redemption in May, InsyaAllah. Isytihar ia sebagai bulan bercuti-cutian... hehe...

To feed my rusty blog... maybe I shall update on my "stamina-seeeking" activities hor?

Here's one recent one. Hiking BM Hill, the Bukit Mertajam itself or also known as Hutan Lipur BM, or Cherok Tokun Hill.

The bukit :p on top of d hill, there's a stesen pencawang letrik. BM's trademark

 

With Kak Ilah, Zue, bullert and my sis, we started hiking at 8.30am. Kak Ilah and Bullert took 45minutes, I reached in an hour followed by Zue and Mely 10 mins after that.

So most of the journey up, I was hiking alone tailing Bullert and Kak Ilah and being tailed by the other two. It was tiring - sign that stamina tak cukup? huhu berjaga-jaga lah kamu. It was like neverending hike.. aduih... then after the last pitstop (tempat exercise), I thought it was just a few minutes away.... but no... it was not. But I made a point that I have to continue and reach the top no matter what.. so I just went on and on. "ayyoo di manakah kau wahai pencawang letrik"

Then a girl walked pass me, she looked very determined too. I tried to catch up with her so that I would not be hiking alone somehow.. haha. After a while, she stopped and asked "Berapa jauh lagi?" to which i answered "Taktauuu lah... huuu.. masih tak sampai-sampai ni" Hahhaha.... Her friends had stopped hiking at the last pitstop, waiting for her return from the top...

Catching breath... then both of us continued. She stopped when i stopped to catch some deep breath... and we continued. An elderly couple came down the trail and we asked "How much longer?" When they replied 5 minutes, we got excited... phew.

It took us more than 5 minutes... but we made it finally.....Kak Ilah and Bullert were lepaking, waiting for the rest of us. To mark our kejayaan menuju puncak.... here's a kenangan shot. Her name is May, we got her email to send her this pix. She's from KL and it was her first time hiking there... bagus, bersemangat :-)

Then, Zue and Mely sampai.. aikk with Marlina too... aikk and my bag? Zue was carrying it. Opppss.... Mely gave up on the bag after 3/4 of the journey to which Zue came as savior. And all the while, Zue who got thirsty and kinda dehydrated, carried the bag not knowing there's 2 bottles of water in it... Haha... adeh....all hell breaks loose when I opened the bag and teguk ayaq dengan penuh nikmatnya... wakakaka...

On our way back, we passed by this dog that I saw lingering at the same spot when I climbed. We stopped at the spot to snap some photos. This is view of Mengkuang Dam from Bukit Mertajam. Waa... kalau bleh slide trus sampai ke mengkuang dam kan besss....

Sedang asyik melihat permandangan.... i realised that Toby (yaa.. sudah ada nama, ok) was looking at us with a very sad look. If I was not imagining it, I think I'm kinda sure he was asking for water. Instinct.. hoho. or maybe because I read Toby's mind as his head moved in parallel with my water bottle. I tried pouring some water at the side of the road, but by the time he came near to drink, it was absorbed by earthground. Maka, sebab tu lah terjadinya adegan di bawah ini:

Tuang air dalam petak2 ini... Hehe dan Toby pun minum dengan bahagianya :-) Keshiannyaaa kat dia... Toby si mata Hazel.. This dog looked wellgroomed and had a tag collar. Not sure if he belongs to the stesen pencawang letrik. Guard-dog? But why is he outside the compound and loook so sad and dehydrated and kesian?? :( Marlina saw Toby again few days back and gave him chocolate... (ok, chocolate adalah dilarang ya lain kali sbb nanti haiwan dpt sembelit). Why is Toby still there? Kena abandon ke?? Huhu... sabar ya Toby, kalau aku naik lagi, bawak KFC snack plate kamu mahu tak?

Ok... Till then..

Marilah berlari-lari, berjogi-jogi, berpanjat-panjat.... yeehaaa...

in order to update my resume...

A month ago, Aca and I were crapping over YM about having a back-up career plan. mine:

1. Full time photographer
2. LRT station announcer
3. Surprise birthday party planner / kindergarten party planner

To strengthen my resume for my 3rd back-up career, I need to polish some skills = throw a surprise for 3 people at a time.

After a brief chat with Baim, mentioning about his wife, Aini’s coming birthday, we planned to throw a surprise including to the other two december babies- Rash and Zue. Belated birthdays… why not? Attack when they least expect it.

The Victims + their Con Agents:Aini – Baim
Rash – Miem
Zue – Aca

Con Agents were supposed to arrange to be at Nurul Ikan Bakar roughly around 8pm.

Johni, Ruby and I will be in charge of buying the cake and making the surprise entrance with the cake.


Plot

1. First couple arrives - look for seating, possibly big table near entrance, and start ordering as usual.
2. The next couple would arrive – ConAgents suppose to act like ‘terkezutt’ and betegur sapa and ajak to join in.
3. Then, the third couple arrives… Same scenario repeats.
4. By now, the victims might be a little suspicious of the coincidence..
5. Message will be sent to us to make the surprise entry with the cake.. and live happily ever after.....

.............
....




Obstacle #1
Miss Ruby wrote about returning back to Sarawak in FB status, whereby Zue commented:
alor....cuti dah nak abeh..tapi spent time dgn cikgu ruby sekali je...ape kes :(
esok jom dinner!
and Ruby replied:
Zue: yup, i join dinner esok.. tak sabar nieh nak mainkan peranan Actress of The Year
making Zue blur and commented: Actess of the Year? Nape gitu?
I saw this in the FB walls… and almost fainted! Why Ruby why? I called her immediately. To cover up, Ruby came up with the idea of confusing Zue back at the status... berjaya....

THEN it turns out… next day, Ruby can’t make it to the dinner because of some urgent matter :P so much for the confusion kan....



Obstacle #2

6.40pm – got sms from Miem – Rash didn’t feel like eating out. SOS! Not much time to arrange back-up plans!

7.00pm – called Baim. Tried to scheme… (use reason that Aini’s pregnant and that she’s craving for Ketam Sos Cili badly and needed transport from Rash…) Baim said it sounded too suspicious and weird too…

Maybe I should drive with Joni to Rash/Miem's apartment, and ask Joni to pretend an emergency and make Rash come down from the apartment? Hmmm… No.. There have got to be a better way…. And suddenly another idea came in….


revised plot:

7.20pm- Called Rash…. Told him that I left my keys in the lab, it has been locked, and that I have waited very long, but no one came, so had no choice but to ask for his help to bring the lab key. Quickly sms Miem to follow Rash.


Obstacle #3
Ok.. wait.. how about Joni? His housemate dropped him at school. How to put him in the plot? Updated him on the changes. Him without a car… that’s just too suspicious… ayyak… so we quickly came out with changes on the new plot.


revised plot 2

1. When Rash and Miem arrives, I’ll take the lab key and go up my lab
2. On my way up, I will miscall Joni, and he will walk from the mosque, lalu parking skool…and bump into Rash and Miem.
3. He will then tell them that he just met his friend at the mosque, and suddenly felt like eating in Bakti (ok, pelik jgk..)
4. He was suppose to talk until I come down and looked surprised and I will ask him to join us for dinner… kononnya nak belanja Rash for all the trouble

Obstacle #4
Rash and Miem arrived. I asked him for the key… But he said he wants to go up too, to take some things. Huh… alamak… So three of us went up… was not able to alert joni. Reaching the lab, it was unlocked, some students were inside.

“Laaa.. ada org kaa? Tadi beberapa kali naik, takde sapa” (pura-pura innocent)
He said “Adehh… penat mai.. kena belanja ni…”
Wow Ikan masuk jala! So I said I will belanja but he kindly turned down the offer. but finally Miem and I managed to talk him in… lega ok .. Going out of the lab, Joni rang me “Diorg takda kat bawah”.

So Joni had to reenact revised plot 2 :P

The surprise

Phew…. no more obstacles.

Rash and Miem arrived, they saw Zue and Aca, already seated. Zue didnt suspect anything coz Rash looked surprised as well. Baim and Aini arrived just as Rash and Miem were joining Aca and Zue. Too coincidental? Haha... good timing though. All seated, trying to explain each other (still on under-cover mode)... and then upon confirmation all had arrived, Joni and I marched towards them with the cake and...

Finally... the surprise….

And yeahhhh.. they were surprised!!!!

phewwww... setel!

There u go.... in my Resume!


Other cover-ups:

1. Zue + Aca...
   they reached first... ordered and started eating (With Aca slowing down the order, diverting Zue whenever necessary, siap buat reasoning taknak duduk tempat ada privacy sbb pakai skirt, takut nyamuk masuk :P Aca's acting performance is highly credited by Zue as she didn't suspect anything fishy was goin on. (hehe, so bukan Ruby ye yg dpt title Actress of the Year...kuikuikui) :P
   
2. Baim and Aini...
   Baim called a taxi... to avoid suspicion if they were to carpool with any of us.
   He keep on updating me and the other ConAgents through SMS, which made Aini a bit curious since Baim's not really the SMS-type of guy... but she just brushed it off and happily thinking of the Ketam BErsos Cili that Baim promised to treat her (but rupanya, kedai tu takda pula menu tu ok... sian Aini :P)
   
3. And of course, the last-minutes plots mentioned above was successful due to the good acting skills by Joni and Miem as well...

Picture from Zue + Aini:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY s !!!
MOGA PJG UMOQ....
and last but not least... to evelione: HAPPY NEW YER!!!! See u in 2010...

Belum Beli Tiket Balik Raya

Time seems to fly extra speedy this year :O it's already september.. it's alredy the final weeks of Ramadhan. Raya is just around the corner and I havent made any biskot raya yet!! Ouhhh... nehi nehi!

This year, to date, I went to Pasar Ramadhan (Param) 3 times jer. Ntah, tis year, prefer to eat out, or drive back to my hometown, hohoho. Btw, we managed to have our Parlimail's buka puasa, and this year we had two hosts. First, Rash*Miem, then Nando*Emme. Both married last year..

It's potluck, so everyone had their own contributions lah. We had 3 sessions: Appetizer, then break for maghrib. Main course, then break for Trawih. Last but not least, Moreh.. hehe

At Rash's

Appetizerss...

Then after trawih... time to clear all saki baki food accompanied by some desserts, nyam nyam...

After one week.....
At Nando's (hahha, nama mcm Nando's tmpt makan tu plak)

Urs truly was in charge of drinks- fruitee punch and cordial. Hahaha.. thus, photos of foods almost takde although we had more varieties of food this time :P Someone took this pix, while I was busy eating and kecoh-kecoh pasal mana kicap dan sambal. HubbyWife hostee made Nasi Ayam.

Last but not least......

Ucapan Khas ini ditujukan kepada semua kawan-kawan, kenalan sekalian...

Alamak... Cheq tak beli tiket balik raya lagi... cam mana niiih??? :O :O

Akhir kata,

SELAMAT MANJALANI IBADAH UPASA

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Creamy Cakes for longevity

Thank You, Family and Friends for making this birthday a memorable one. I’ve been busy lately I almost forgot my own birthday. Thanks to facebook, some friends had started giving birthday wishes a day before thus reminding myself that “Wehhh… I'm getting older tomorrow"

Mom cooked my favourite– Raasam + Cencaru Sambal :* I had lunch with Seeta and Nurul. Seeta belanja but I couldn’t eat so much as I’ve had brunch at home. Thanx girls…

Later that day, Zue asked if we could have dinner, then due to uncertainty, Zue said it’s ok if we had to postpone the dinner. Kak Ilah was kinda busy too with appointment with a lecturer. I didn’t want to rush them into dinner just because it’s my birthday.


7.00pm – I was still in the lab. Then I thought ‘What am I doing in the lab all alone on my birthday??' I figured I should reward myself… so I planned to go for a movie alone.

...or maybe just a big meal… or maybe I should just go back home instead… Self-debating, I went back to my hostel. Ok.. maybe just take-away food… sounds good enough.

After shower… Zue called, saying that the dinner date was ON and she was coming out to pick me up. Later, Kak Ilah decided to join us too. Although I was kinda looking forward to my time alone, dinner with 2 BBs sound more fun :D Yeyeye.. dress up, dress up!

Almost 9pm, waited at the foyer, stomach growling… Outside the hostel, a stall selling some goreng-goreng stuff and ouh, I can’t fight the temptation of the smell of Chempedak Goreng… therefore I walked towards the aroma.

Bought RM2 worth of chempedak goreng, and Zue called.. finally! Can feel my tummy smiling in bliss… Walked back to the guard house looking for her car. Front, left and right - nada.


Turning around, across the street, I saw Zue.. Kak Ilah and... eh Aca ada skali…

“Surprise!!! Happy Birthday!!” they shouted out loud

HAHA… I was… Surprised! I didn’t expect them to hide behind the wall (gate). So cute laaa… Mischievously hiding.

I laughed… I almost sat middle of the road there, shocked and amused. Why Why… surprise tengah2 jalan? Hahahhaha…. I ran to them… and saw few more familiar faces hiding across the street, walking out comically from behind the TNB box… Mwahahhaa. Rash, Miem, Baim, Aini and Johnny. They gave me a cute cake and start singing the birthday song. Wehh… dun make me cry laaa...

We drove to Marin for dinner… Nando and Emme were there too :* Then came another surprise: A bigger birthday cake with candles burning wildly… and another song. Huhuuu… It turned out... they had planned this 2 days before. Waaa… flawless nyer! U peeps got me this time. I am surprised and didn’t expect all of it at all.

Terharu beb! Thank you BBs and YBs…

And I laughed reading their side of the story: (Written by Zue):

Pada hari kejadian, kak ilah kol, around 7.30pm. “zue…zle hilang”Kuang kuang kuang. Siapa Mengejut dan siapa Terkejut?It turns out, zle went back to her hostel for a shower. She wanted to cancel our dinner(how dare you!) and watch movie ALONE instead on her BIRTHDAY night! Nasib baik sempat kol her and told her that the dinner plan is ON and i am on my way. Kalo tak , mmg inilah kejutan paling terkejut dalam sejarah! Haha.

Akhirnya, tempat kejutan bertukar ke Hostel Tekun, tunggu zle turun dan jerit SURPRISE! Kejutan berlaku lewat sejam, iaitu pada pukul 9pm, dimana watak2 sampingan ada yg sembunyi belakang pokok(dgn super cute tapi lupa amik gambar), dan disebalik pagar(me n super bb). zle can’t keep still at the promised place, but instead choose to walk out to buy cempedak goreng, which just torture us even more as asyik kena berlari2 menyembunyikan diri. Cara kejutan berlaku adalah jerit “SURPRISE! HAPPY BDAY!” dengan kuat tanpa segan silu dan suspek menjadi terkejut, terduduk dan ketawa akhirnya. Hehe. Lepas tu, suspek dan watak sampingan bergerak utk mengisi perut.

And 2 days after that... our very own homey celebration. Ain and Aril bought me a cake?? Wow... ahakss.. I lap u too kiddoss and mia femilia.. muackss :*:*

Mother Nature memanggil-manggil

Detoxification after "Keracunan Ubat Gegat"

Destination: Taman Negara Pulau Pinang @ Penang National Park

This is our second group trip to Kerachut, the first in January 2008. This time around, there were 10 of us, 6 from previous trip. We started hiking at 9am from this entry point, with some kuih-muih and roti as our breakfast.

 all happy and bersemangat wajah... can we trust their stamina? jeng jeng jeng...

Some snapshots

There are few different trails, to Monkey Beach, MUKA-head Light House, Pantai Kerachut and some other beaches. We took the furthest trail - Pantai Kerachut... more secluded and has an unique lake... For more info, you may want to read this

Our motivation for this hike was: AYAM (yes, Chicken)...

In each of our bags, we were carrying a box of either Snack Plate or Dinner Plate from KFC, for our lunch. So.... you want chicken, you gotta reach destination first. Ha!
hike and hike, we continued hiking and trekking despite all the obstacles.... chewahh... obstacle konon...

uits but... dun play-play ok... we were stopped by Mr. bonzer monkey, with an intimidating look, provoking to snatch our food. But thanks to our teamwork spirit... we managed to overcome the threat... no worries... we didnt slaugther nor hurt that monkey in any way... haha...

And the challenging trek! the slopes and all... Proud to say, we reached our destination, the Kerachut beach after 1 hour and 45 minutes hike. (compared to last year - 3 hours) Well, this time around, we took less photos and most of us were in good shape and stamina... ehem ehem.... ahakss... (after one year building back stamina :P)

Ladies n gentlemen, what greeted us in Kerachut Beach?

There's this hanging bridge built across the lake+beach (as depicted in this pixxie below) Where the sea connects with the lake.

As written at the signboard:
The Lake that you observe is known as the meromictic lake. In Malaysia, this kind of lake can only be found at Penang National Park. As a matter of fact, the lake is only available at 19 places around the world.

Meromictic refers to the 2 layers of sea and river water which does not mix with each other. Fresh water is relatively lower in density as compared to the hypersaline sea water.

From the website:

Others attractions include visiting the seasonal meromictic lake, visible for only six months of the year. The lake has two layers of water of different temperatures. The bottom layer of sea water is normally warmer than the surface fresh water.

How different can it be after 6 months? Look at the picture above, where I highlighted the rock in red arrow and circle. That was the photo taken last week (May), whereas this photo below was taken last year in January, where i circled the exact same rock. (roughly around 11 am t0 12pm)...

The water levels and flows are different. In January, the water flows out from the river/lake to the sea, it was fresh water.

So dat explains the clarity of the water and how we swam and 'slept' in the water for hours forgetting the sunburn.

This time around, the salt water from the sea flows in (resulting into meromictic lake), water levels very high, and couldn't see how deep it was. As a result, we didnt jumped in the water at that same spot.

After feasting over the kfc chicks... We walked further down the beach, rested on rocks, only to be smashed by waves. Haha.. but that was fun indeed... The guys on the other hand chose to trail back few metres in the park to dip in the fresh water. Zuraini and I went there later to de-salt-ify and de-sand-ify ourselves :P:P~

Mandi-mandi... Lepak-lepak... 4 hours passed by in a flick of a lense...

To get back, we rented a boat. We have ealier placed a booking for a boat at the entry point (jetty), before we hiked.

Bumpy ride di lautan bertingkat tingkat :D

These 2 rocks are famously known for they are in form of some animals. Can u guess what they are?

We ended this trip with teabreak along Feringgi beach (Laksa, Rojak and Ais Kacang)... This trip also served as a farewell gathering for abang azrul who will be back to Lembah Klang. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Do join us, Parlimail bila-bila free wokeh ;-)

I end this post... with bak kata pepatah...

Berakit-rakit ke hulu... naik speedboat je bila balik...

Yeeehaaa..... Sekian, Terima Kasih

Jalan-jalan Isi Lemak

Amaran: Very Long Post

Roti Bakar Telur Satu!

Oh Tidak... Ini bukan tempat makan yang mempunyai khidmat hantaran melalui panggilan mahupun menerusi sms. Sebaliknya... haruslah pergi terus ke Transfer Road bagi menikmati kelazatan sarapan pagi yang paling common di Malaysia - Roti Canai.

Yes.. sambil melayan suasana pagi di tepi jalan raya.

Secara rasminya, ini adalah aktiviti ulangan iaitu Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan-Siri II. Siri I adalah pada tahun lepas 23Feb2008.


Lokasi Pertama (gambar di atas tadi) - Transfer Road, Penang (island)

Keistimewaan tempat itu adalah sarapan pagi Roti canai dengan suasana Penang Town.

Lokasi seterusnya adalah di seberang Pulau Pinang. Jadi 3 kereta berkonvoi ke destinasi seterusnya.


Lokasi ke-2 di kenali sebagai Rope Walk, Taman Selat (Area Perai). Ini merupakan tempat jualan yang mempunyai pelbagai variasi barangan, daripada yang baru kepada yang second-hand. Siap ada kedai jual kaki burung unta weh? apakah motif?


Ini bukan aksi Ahlong bukit beruntung mengutip hutang. Ia juga bukan sekadar gambar hiasan.

Ini adalah aksi along parlimail mengutip wang untuk di"tontong" bagi sesi makan seterusnya.

Oh yaa.. ini pula... ini mungkin sekadar gambar hiasan. Tapi moral daripada gambar ini... Tisu kedap minyak adalah sangat merbahaya, terutamanya untuk psikologi wanita.


Antara list of things bought by some of us:

1. buku coloring untuk kanak-kanak

2. eraser bentuk haiwan yang ada kaki

3. mercun pop-pop

4. dinosor plastik

5. seluar track imitation yang sungguh lawa

6. pil chi kit teck aun

7. etc...

Lokasi Ke-3: Adalah makan tengahari... di sini: Ikan Bakar Din, Kepala Batas

Memang mengancam hati dan perut sesapa yang memandang, apatah lagi apabila aura hasap ikan dan daging sedang dibakar menusuk idung.

Antara lauk yang kami ambil. Ada lagi yang tak masuk dlm gmbar ini.. ada sotong dan ikan bakar. Untuk pengetahuan anda... daging bakar (di belah kanan gambar) tu marbeles lah! Ada certain part daging itu, dipanggil harimau nangis, sbb kalau harimau makan pun, sampai dia bleh menangis... Nak tau kenapa... kenalah cuba makan dulu ;-)

Memang kenyang dan puas hati lah....

Selepas makan... kita kena lah rehatkan perut, ye dok?


Lokasi ke-4: Pantai Robina, Butterworth

Dengan harapan menyedut keluar kalori yang di isi tadi...

 

Lokasi ke-5: Buah Cicah, Butterworth

Eeeeeeeee.... Sedap.... sangat suka....

Lokasi ke-6: Rumah Nando & Emme, Perda Bt Mertajam

Ini adalah sesi pre-housewarming. Pasangan tuan rumah baru berpindah seminggu dan kami sangat berbesar hati menerima undangan mereka. Di sini, kami dihidang dengan jamuan ringan minum petang. Ouhh sedap sungguh nescafe BB buat! Setelah berehat-rehat dan agak-agak dah rasa ada ruangan sedikit di perut masing-masing, kami pun berangkat ke lokasi seterusnya, lokasi akhir.


Lokasi ke-7: Juru - Nasi Ketam

Mengikutkan perancangan, kami mahu makan di tempat ini:

Memang sodap la nasi ketam di sini. Malangnya, tempat ini tutup pada hari itu. Selalunya dibuka pada hari Ahad... hmmm... apakan daya... namun, worry not! Di perkampungan itu, ada beberapa lagi pilihan tempat makan yang tidak kurang hebatnya...

Kami memilih restoran ini:

Menariknya tempat ini, adalah ia betul-betul bersebelahan jeti nelayan... or you can say, kinda attached to it.

Permandangan matahari mula terbenam. *kawasan paya bakau.

Si Bangau menangkap ikan dgn bantuan cahaya matahari yang makin malap.

Menu yang dicari-cari: Masak Ketam

Ada yang memilih Udang sebagai hidangan. Mee Udang antara pilihan fofular kt sini.

Destinasi akhir ini merupakan dinner kitorang, dan dengan itu mengakhiri projek jalan-jalan cari makan Siri II. At the end of the day, semua orang pulang dengan kekenyangan dan heppi.
