#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!

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...

Heading to Melaka
Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball @ Jonker Street

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.

Make a trip to Singapore the week b4 Christmas. Went for a day trip with a few of my coursemates. Brought them around Bugis as we can afford to spend there.
From left: Me, Kim, JY, Junne & Lovena(not in the picture coz she was holding the camera) with Soo Kee Jewellery Tree @ Bugis.
Those trees look so much beautiful at night.Sent them back in the evening while I continued my trip with family.
Visited Jurong Bird Park. Just to mention a few attractions in this bird park. Hornbill & Toucans Exhibit, Penguin Expedition, Parrot Paradise, World of Darkness etc...
Jurong Bird Park
Show time! Look at those Flamingos & the performance of other birds as well.
Saw that Ostrich behind?
Snapshot with parrots.Penguin Expedition. Mustn't miss the penguin feeding time!
Visited Hollywood Dinos as it was included in the bird park package. Frankly, those dinosaurs were very much 'real' compared to the Dinosaurs Land in Genting! Besides, the 3D effect was good!
Everybody roar like a dinosaur! Just to coordinate with my bro as he ask us to do so~During Christmas Season, Orchard Road was the most crowded place. Everybody was heading there for the nice lighting & Christmas Decorations. Really can feel the Christmas atmosphere as you walk along the road. This was indeed the main attraction esp for tourist!
Lighting & Christmas Decorations along Orchard Road.
The Birth of Christ Decorations along Dhoby Ghaut.Christmas Trees all over the streets!
This really caught my attention..
A 6-storey high Christmas Tree outside ION Orchard.Wondering what's so special about this Christmas Tree? Well, you'll get to step into this Christmas tree and be dazed by those glittering stars, lights, baubles & garlands.
Wow~Very creative way to decorate a Christmas Tree. However, you won't be able to look at those glittering stars for long as it makes you dizzy!
Ferrero Rocher Tree
Rein deers decoration along the street
Huge Christmas Tress @ Takashimaya. I think this tree was the same tree as last year.Finally...I love this picture so much...coz we all look so CUTE!
Aren't we alike but different in our own way??
It's Christmas Eve & I'm back 2 hometown once again! Realized that I haven't been updating my blog for weeks coz I've too many pictures & I'm just too lazy to organize it!
Started my new semester 2 weeks ago. Felt kinda unfair coz other Uni haven't start their new semester and yet we're back to campus ady! Sienz....
OK, no more complains! Uni life is FUN anyway and I'm glad to be with my friends in campus. Better cherish the time together b4 we graduate.
Btw, I've been kinda busy for the past few weeks! Busy settling down & busy wandering around I guess. Hehehe...
Celebrated Dong Zhi Festival in campus last 2 days and we make Tang Yuan with all sort of ingredients! No harm trying new flavor right?
New flavor of Tang Yuan with chocolate, raisins, peanut butter, gua zi & peanut.
Done! Looks at all our hands~It's the evidence of hard work..
Ready to cook! Does these Tang Yuan looks like fish balls? Hehehe...
Cook the Tang Yuan separately from the sweet soup so that the soup won't be 'polluted'!
Tang Yuan with different flavor is served in a short while! The sweet soup with only pandan leaves & ginger is tasty! It would be tastier if we added gula Melaka in it!
Every ball is a surprise with different ingredient in it! Surprisingly, the Tang Yuan wrapped with peanut is so NICE! Taste a bit crunchy, sweet & salty at the same time. We ended up eating quite a lot of Tang Yuan just to try our luck to get the flavor we want. Coz those Tang Yuan were all mixed up and we couldn't differentiate which is which! Hahaha...It's fun after all~
Watched 2 GOOD movies recently. I think GREAT would be a better description. Really worth watching..
The Princess & the Frog. The show that I've been waiting for so long. I'm loving this show so much..it's so magical. I love the traditional ways of drawing compared with 3D animation. Brings me back to my childhood time with Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid and other Disney movies. With the princess story & the happily ever after ending!
Be careful what You kissed for. This wasn't The Frog Prince story we used to heard since young.
Another great show, Avatar. Wow~I was so amazed by the world of Avatar. It's too beautiful & I really don't know how 2 describe it! A very exciting Sci-Fi movie. I think the movie in 3D would give a better effect. How I wish I could watch in 3D.
Make a trip to Singapore with my coursemates & family...
