Journey to Penang - New Year 2006

Drive up to Penang with mom, and the two kids in my Super Kancil. No picture as all images taken by the super camera sudah hilang..(Sudah jumpa.. so skrg ada picture la -- added Friday 6hb January 2006)

Anyway, Friday drive to Ipoh.. looking for Mom's friend Kak Chik. It's like more than ten years they haven't met.


on the way to penang stop at the ipoh v-point, the look up point after toll. Erosion!!!!


Abang Wa and Mr Sporty aka Blue Kancil


Then continue to Penang,reached Penang at five thirty, hahah sempat pergi hazrita dental to get some stuff, next to Intang's place.



Intan's baby boy ..ehsan wafi.. oops wafi remind me of someone that I don't want to be constantly reminded with.. but ehsan look so calm.. The two kids become buddies with Ariff. Such a nice boy allowing the boys to take turns playing computer games.

The next day, bought breakfast at kayu... roti canai jugak.. then settle some of my things (bank!). Leave intan place about twelve, then go to visit relatives at botanical garden.. the monkees.. buy bananas and kacang for them. In the middle of feeding baru perasan notis not to feed the monkeys.. Wehhh! I am no law abiding citizen la




The warning!!!



Singgah chow rasta to buy jeruk RM36 and like dapat four kilos of mangga, betik, and nutmeg jeruk.. including pistachio nuts. RAsa cheap..this one kira on me la..

Noon we drive to sg petani, for traditional food. The stall offer like more than twenty choices of lauk pauk. Mom takes masak lemak telur ikan plus other things. I take kacang panjang, paru-paru goreng and sotong sambal. the kids makan nasik ayam. For desert i take ice kacang (yess!! bye bye diet) And the bill come up only to RM17.60.. i even tapau some lung goreng lagi... Its dirt cheap. Mom pay lagi la....

Around six pm reached jitra.. at noya's new place. Night makan at one thai gerai. Cheap but food is lousy. tasteless. Meals including one siakap bakar plus other things come up to RM41 only.. Thanks Noya for footing up the bill.

Midnight new year... fireworks.. I thought kedah don't declare new year as holiday but they do have monster firework display... (the next morning.. mom told me she was scared being near to Thailand, that the thai has serang us ..hahahhaa u want to cry or not?)

Morning on the way back, stop at muzium padi..


A very big buffalo at teh muzium padi... I guess it weigh more than 300kg



Then to Pekan Rabu Alor Setar, then to kepala batas for the usual ikan bakar.. sotong bakar, ikan terubuk bakar, ayam bakar, plus lauk pauk.. bill only RM50... HEHEHE who pays.. if travel by mom, mestilah mom yang pay..

Four pm reach taiping intersection, and decided to go and pergi zoo.. Its raining heavily but tickets have been bought even the train ticket, mom stay in the car.. Taiping zoo is nice and fun to look at. we didn't stay for the night zoo. The kids want to come again.... sorry!!! tak boleh ... they all banyak lemak already.

Oh ada function there then... we guess a tuntung punya berat.. . i guess its about 133 kg... stupid me, if the tuntung is 133kg it must be bigger then me.. turn out the tuntung is only 40++ aje... we pay one dollar to guess, and in return we get a zoo taiping pen which worth rm4, should have entered more laaaa what is rm1 kan?

Trying to find the highway from Taiping.. eheheh sesat lalu jalan lama... its like after seven all dark. Keluar highway at kuala kangsar.. stop at tapah for makan, and continue journwy back to kl.. Reach home at 11.30pm, that was nearly fourteen hours after we left jitra at 9 am.

Verdict.. tiring but fun.....
