Long Weekend in KT

Saturday 17 Feb 2007

There were six cars from the The Osman's family departed for Kuala Terengganu on 17 Feb 2007. Out of that six, only one car followed East-West highway from Ipoh while the others were from KL and used the LPT and Terengganu coastal road. We pushed off from Uncle Mail's house around 8 am and our first stop was R & R Temerloh. We had our home prepared nasik lemak in one of the gazebos. Our next checkpoint was Toll Plaza Kuantan where i was instructed to lead the car convoy staright to Terengganu. We stopped by Kg Geliga in Chukai for our quick lunch and then continued our journey. I and Uncle Din sempat jugak pekena our kopi at Kedai Kopi Hai Peng, while the rest proceed straight to KT. We finally reached our destination, Atikah Bungalow in Batu Buruk after Asar.

Second day in KT, the ladies took this golden opportunity
to go to Pasar Payang while the men either accompanied them
up to the car park or stayed at the bungalow.

Visiting Wan Chik and Pakcik Shidee house near Kuala Ibai. We have not met Wan Chik for years, since we left Kuantan in year 2000. They were staying in Kerteh then before moving to KT in year 2000.

Enjoying keropok lekor + air buah gelas besar at Seberang Takir

That nite, we had a BBQ and potong kek for those
celebrating their birthdays in February.

Third day in KT, we were supposed to hire a boat for 20 pax to go to Pulau Kapas. But that morning we were informed that there was a break-in into mama's house in Ipoh. There goes our Pulau Kapas and we all decided to cut short the holiday and went back to Ipoh via East-West Highway.

With Wan Ruzima, a long lost friend in UTM who is also the owner of STR Sdn Bhd,
a distributor of batik and silk for Pasar Payang.

Lunch at Kuala Besut Jetty

Bukit Bunga near Jeli, Kelantan

Rest at East West Highway...somewhere in the middle of the highway

And finally we reached Ipoh...on a tow truck.
That was a long story....
