#3: Alor Setar, Kedah
It takes approximately 6 hours to travel from Klang to Alor Setar. OMG! I can't believe that I actually traveled 11 hours on bus in a day!
Arrived at Alor Setar @ 4.30am
Had breakfast @ 记得来点心 (Ji De Lai Dim Sum).Plently of dim sum there. A nice place for a full breakfast. Remember to come oh~
Paddy MuseumSince Kedah is our country main rice producer, a visit to the Paddy Museum is a must!
Visited the observatory on the 1st floor of the museum. There is a huge mural on the life of the people there. Take a seat on the rotating platform and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Pusat Sains Negara (Cawangan Kedah)Due to the extremely hot weather at Alor Setar, we decided to stay indoor and hang out in places with air-con. Visited Pusat Sains Negara, which is located next to the Paddy Museum. Although this Science Center wasn't as equipped as those at PetroSains or Pusat Sains at KL, we still managed to spend few hours there!
Had Iced Mixed-Fruit, Otah-otah & Laksa @ 大观(Da Guan)
Dinner @ 二条街. Delicious Fried Oyster, Chicken Wings & Wu Xiang.
Fried Oyster & Wu Xiang Stall were owned by Junne's Uncle & Aunt.
Rock Cafe & Bali-bali Hai Cafe. Both cafes have the ambience of Bali in it.[To be continued...]
Ok..It's time for me to share about my adventurous trip during the semester break. Lovena came back Muar together with me and we stayed 2 days in Muar. We then headed to our 1st Station - Kuantan, Pahang.
The Adventure Begins...
It takes 5 hours for us to travel from Muar to Kuantan. The road on the way to Kuantan was 'bengkang-bengkok'. Passed by Tangkak, Segamat and other places to reach Kuantan. My cousin picked us up at the bus terminal when we arrived. After that, me and Lovena managed to meet up with Si Mei and her crazy gang!
Later in the evening, my aunt brought us for a buffet dinner at Swiss Garden Resort. Really thank my aunt for this good meal!

Lovena, Me, My cousins, My Aunt & Yan Yan.
Teluk Cempedak
A must go place in Kuantan - Teluk Cempedak. Wow~The beach is so beautiful!
Headed to Sungai Lembing in the afternoon.
Welcome to Sungai Lembing.
A brief history about Sungai Lembing:
Sungai Lembing was one of the largest tin (bijih timah) production in Pahang. There was a British village named Lembah Sungai Kenau in this place.
There's a Rainbow Waterfall and a Crystal House at Sungai Lembing as well. But we didn't get to visit those places.
Visited Sungai Lembing Museum. This museum was once a residential place of a British Gabenor.
Lombong bijih timah
Sungai Lembing Hanging Bridge
Sungai Lembing was indeed a very 'ulu' place. Very kampung..However, I kinda liked this place. Very peaceful & harmony. And the people there are very friendly!
The only Petrol Kiosk at Sungai Lembing.
Remember to pump up your vehicle's oil tang before Sunday coz this petrol kiosk is CLOSE on Sunday.
Gua Charas. Located not far away from Sungai Lembing.
Sleeping Buddha in the cave.
There wasn't much special food in Kuantan. Mostly Malay food. This is because the population in Kuantan were mostly Malays.
林明面(Lin Ming Mian) can only be found at Sungai Lembing.
Say Goodbye to Kuantan!! We then traveled west to Klang to meet up with Jie Ying. It takes another 5 hours to reach Klang!
Must Eat Food in Klang - Bak Kut Teh.
Yeah!! I've finally tasted Klang Bak Kut Teh! Bak Kut Teh Mission Accomplish!! Klang Bak Kut Teh was really NICE! Thumbs Up! Tried Dry Bak Kut Teh as well, yum yum~
Dropped by a temple at Klang.
Had Bar BQ Plaza before we left Klang.
We were overjoyed when we found out that Bar BQ Plaza had a branch at Klang. Miss it so much~
Jie Ying then joined us for the trip and we headed north to find Junne...

This entry had stayed in the draft of my post for weeks! Argh~I was being very patient in uploading the photos and was feeling very frustrated with Blogger's photo uploader and WifiUTM! It really spoiled my mood to blog!
Okok..it's time to cool down. After so much frustration, I still managed to post this entry and shared my trip. Hehehe...
What is Pre-Study Week Trip all about?
Organizing a trip at the end of every semester has became a culture and our mission, I think. Although we still have projects and presentations coming up, we were able to put all those projects aside and organize a short distance trip to relax, refresh and recharge ourselves b4 the battle starts!
3 of my very noisy and 'tam-chiak' course-mates followed me back to Muar b4 study week starts. Felt like I was qualified to be the tour guide for my hometown as I brought them Jalan-jalan Cari Makan! Hahaha...
Huge Durian Statue
Heading to Melaka
Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball @ Jonker Street
Nadeje Patisserie Cafe @ Dataran Pahlawan

Tanjung
Although Muar doesn't have many places to go, Tanjung is certainly a nice place to hang out. It is a suitable place for recreation. Take a stroll along Muar River and enjoy the breeze. Surprisingly, a place like Tanjung wasn't easy to be found in other places.
Huge Durian Statue
Monkeys berkeliaran at Tanjung
Being a Muarian, those monkeys at Tanjung were simply wild and scary to me. I won't even bothered to stay and look at it! However, to my surprise again, my course-mates were very excited as they see these huge crowd of monkeys 'berkeliaran' everywhere! I guess this is one of the attraction at Tanjung ya...So, remember to bring your friends to this 'tourist spot' whenever they come to Muar!
Yong Sheng Confectionery
Brought my course-mates to Yong Sheng Confectionery to buy some local products. This newly-opened Yong Sheng located at Bakri is as grand as a hotel and a good place to buy gifts. Everything there was so tasty and you wish you can buy all!
Besides, there are Cafe everywhere in Muar, especially at town area. Most of the cafe are well-decorated with nice ambient. Most importantly, the price of drinks and foods of these cafe are reasonable.
Muar, is a place for good food! Never miss to try otah, pork satay, O-chien, ikan bakar, asam fish and many other food if you are in Muar.

Wow~ Have you realized that today is Chinese New Year Eve?
How time flies isn't it? The day that we've been looking forward to has finally come! Looking forward to holidays, gathering with family & friends and celebrating CNY.
Look what I've done while counting down to CNY...
Decoration at my hostel
Got this cute decoration pasted on the door at my hostel room a month ago b4 CNY. Thanks to my neighbors from KDSE for decorating this for me. They are making me so into CNY mood ever since that time. Started listening to CNY songs and counting down to CNY.
Steamboat Reunion Dinner
Steamboat Reunion Dinner with my course-mates. I think it has become a culture for us to organize a reunion dinner b4 CNY. We simply loves to organize this kind of event as we get to eat and have fun at the same time!
Lion Dance with vegetables? Hehehe...
CNY Decorations @ DSI
Harmony Pavillion
Attended Xin Chun Event at UTM. Frankly speaking, the celebration this year was quite disappointing. The event wasn't properly organized and the decorations was quite dull compared to last year.
Waited almost 2 hours for the opening ceremony. The sound system wasn't clear at the beginning of the show and the overall programs were not as good as expected. However, some of the performances like 象声(xiang sheng) and the drama entitled 'CindeRiama' performed by my course-mate, Max, was good!
Mouse-like tiger
Since this year is the year of TIGER, the tiger decorations can easily be found everywhere. However, some tiger decorations makes the tiger loses it's identity!
This was the so called tiger @ Sutera Mall, JB. The whiskers and the sharp mouth is making this tiger looks more like a mouse than a tiger to me. There are some tigers that looks more like cats! Since when the fierce tiger became so tame? Hahaha..
Bride Wars
Watched this movie recently and found it very meaningful. A romantic comedy that brings out the value of friendship. A story about two best friends that turns out to become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. Does it worth to treat your best friend in such a manner? Watch it to know what's all about.

A significant quote at the end of this movie:
"Sometimes in life, there really are bonds formed that can never be broken.
Sometimes, you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what.
Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding.
But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime,
the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.”

But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime,

I totally agreed with this quote. Cherish the people around you and cherish the ONE person who's always there by your side. It's a BLESSING to have that person in your life!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!
Felt like I just countdown for 2010 few days ago and now is already February!
Where has January gone to??
Johore Port @ Pasir Gudang
Lovena's car had finally arrived in Johor. Wuhoo~waited for the arrival of her car since last semester. No wonder we were so excited to drove her car back all the way from Johore Port!
What makes me even more excited is that I don't have to drive motor in campus and get to avoid from being expose myself into the damn HOT sun that it tanning me!
The port looks exactly like those scene we watched in Hong Kong action movies or dramas. The scene where they jump from one container to another, shooting here and there!! I think I'd watched too much movie and imagining too much! Hahaha...
The Prosperity Burger is back!! We definitely won't miss a chance to grab it cause it was available for limited time only. It would be your favorite burger if you love pepper and onions.
Since Chinese New Year is just around the corner, don't miss out the Prosperity Burger as it's gonna make you Prosperous...HUAT ar!!
The whole uni was busy for the election last month. Since my course-mate was one of the faculty candidate, he requested us to help him out. Never thought that I'll get involved in this kind of activity and it turns out to be quite fun.
The bunch of our course-mates offered our help by folding the brochures, folding posters, staple it onto the strings, etc. Really need a lot of manpower to do all these minor stuffs. With the cooperation of our course-mates, we managed to get things done in a more efficient manner.
Posters hanging around everywhere in the faculty.
Does this looks like the road that leads to HELL??
Managed to dine-in @ Sosaku Nihon Restaurant on the last day of the promotion! Phew~ Don't wanna miss it coz I seriously don't know when is the next promotion. This special promotion was only available for teachers and students and it costs only RM29 per person.
Order as much as you want from the menu.
I love this buffet style sushi as you can eat as much as you want. Really get to 'makan secukup-cukupnya' as you don't need to worry about the expensive bills! RM 29 of lunch can make you so FULL that eventually last you until dinner and breakfast for the following day. Hahaha...
Sashimi boat, Takoyaki, Scallop...Just to show a few.

Now is Makan Time!!
Tasted lotz of good food in Kuching. There are simply too much good food and we just don't have enough time to try all! In order to try as many food as possible, we ended up moving from place to place and ate several times 4 a single meal!
These are Kuching's Signature Dishes....
Kolo Mee. Can be easily found in every Coffee Shops.
Try it in different shapes of noodles (flat noodles, curly noodles, mee hoon)
Tomato Mee/Kueh Tiaw. It's delicious! Seldom found this in the Peninsular.
Midin, wild fern found only in Sarawak.
Mixture of Beverage, seldom found this is Peninsular also.
From left: Sugar Cane + Lime, Sugar Cane + Coconut, Barley + Coconut
White Lady
Crispy Fried Oyster. Different from the Fried Oyster in Muar.
鼎边糊(Ding Bian Hu). Something like 面粉粿(Mee Hun Kueh) we have over here.
Tebaloi, Sago biscuits.
Obviously is a PIG isn't it?
OMG!! Pig = Deer???
TOILET??? Otter = Toilet? Pity this little otter for the labeling.
Aren't those labels confusing?? Better update those labels to give visitors a clear description.
See the Difference
Tada...spotted those differences! Hahaha...
Direct Translation: Poo is forbid, but pee is allowed.
Gosh!! Found this kinda ridiculous & funny. What kinda toilet is this when a person is not allowed to poo? Hahaha...
Finally...
This trip won't be a success without our "Hot & Sexy Organizer" with her "Strategic Plans"! Thanks Lovena for the accommodation, transportation & the efforts for bringing us around her territory. Will definitely make a trip to Kuching next time!
Love ya~Muaks!!!
