Me : We're now at Wisma Persekutan, Kota Bahru xD

Ein : -__-llll (obviously kena boom) U go Kota Bahru to visit Wisma Persekutuan??!!

Actually, is Chen Wei wanted to do his passport la~ xP We were just "shun bin" visited it~~

Station 2 : KB Mall

Since we had to wait for the production of passport, we went to KB Mall to spent our 2 hours time. Taking this chance to shop for gifts~~ ehehe

Station 3 : Wat Laikatong

It's time for lunch~~~!! Starving~~

The first temple we went to is the Standing Buddha (站佛)temple - Wat Laikatong . Before visiting, we had our lunch at the stall beside the temple. Our lunch is~~~~ Nasi Kerabu!! yummy~

After lunch, we walked around the temple and took pictures~

Station 4 : Pantai Seri Tujuh

Right after lunch, we went to eat again!! Ahahaha~ Big appetizer huh~ We went to pantai but we didn't go near the seaside coz it has been raining yesterday) We've ordered fried seafood as our "tea-time". Fried squid, fried prawns, fried fish balls, keropok lekor, bla bla bla + coconut juice ^^

Station 5 : Wat Machimmaram

Next station, Sitting Buddha (坐佛) temple - Wat Machimmaram.

After visiting, Chen Wei fetched us to nearby stall to......EAT again. This time, we enjoyed the Kelantan special Ais Kacang~ Unfortunately, ML forgot to take the picture before she ate. So, below is the already half eaten Ais Kacang picture~ Muahahaha xD

Station 6: Wat Polithivan

Last temple that we visited is Sleeping Buddha (睡佛) temple - Wat Polithivan. We saw some cute puppies outside the temple, but the auntie there reminded us not to touch the puppies because their mom is very aggressive. It might bites.... Awh~~

Below is the picture of the sleeping Buddha~

Last last station, we went to enjoy "Som Tam", papaya salad.

Wikipedia : Som tam or Som tum (Thai: ส้มตำ, IPA: [sôm ɗam]) also known as Tam mak hoong (Isan: ตำบักหุ่ง, IPA: ɗam bak huŋ) is a spicy salad made from shredded unripened papaya. Som tam is derived from a traditional dish in Laos called tam mak hoong.

The dish combines the four main tastes of Thai cuisine: sour lime, hot chilies, salty fish sauce, and sweetness added by palm sugar.

Yummy~ !! However, we were not managed to finish the dishes due to the bloated tummy. xD

We're actually eating non-stop from 2pm until 6pm!! Wow~ we dapao it in the end..haha

That made us have to skip our dinner - Tom Yam =( so sayang~ We missed it since our bus back to Penang is 10pm on that night.

Thank you Chu Chee and Chen Wei for belanja us all the delicious meal and bring us jalan-jalan in Kelantan ~ ^^

Kelantan Trip Day 1 - 巴士篇+中秋晚会篇

Date : 2th October 2009, Friday
Time : 9am - 4pm
Venue : In the bus, heading Kelantan

This is me and May Lynn's first time to Kelantan!!!! Whee~ and my first time to East Coast Peninsular Malaysia XD

We aboard the Mutiara bus at 9am at Sg. Nibong bus station in Penang and would stop at Tanah Merah, Kelantan. In fact, the bus was heading Kota Bahru so we need to ask the bus driver to stop us at the roadside of Tanah Merah Transnational Bus Station. May Lynn was soooo nervous and worried that the bus was forgotton to stop for us + speed phobia until she cannot have a nice sleep in the bus ~ XD haha

At last at last, we finally reach Tanah Merah, Kelantan !!! Chu Chee and Chen Wei ( CC bf =P) were already at the bus station to sambut us. And then, we're heading Temangan ~~~ Chu Chee's hometown~~~!!

Firstly, we went to CC's uncle's house to have our "tea-break" - nasi dagang? + curry chicken + cakes. Then, we're taken to visit the surrounding of the house, including REAL pigs xP. Never see REAL pigs before ==" Those pigs were reared by her uncle. Is that means we're urban citizens aka orang bandar? Paise oni =S

~oiks oiks~

Place : Temangan's 镇东宫

There was a Mid-autumn moon cake festival held at the temple. Me and ML followed CC them to take a look and kepo kepo a bit XD

Free paper lanterns were given free to the villagers. ML has played her tanglung 1st time in her life~ LOL She was so excited. Taking pictures and there.
