June 2008: Puteri Pacific Hotel, Johor Bahru

Been there in June 2008. Almost missed my flight, my bad..

From Drop Box


Of all cities and towns in Malaysia, i really love Kuala Terengganu, and Johor Bahru other than my hometown. Berbeza antara satu sama lain. Satu, bandar yang aman.. tenteram.. (walaupun dah mula sibuk sekarang) satu lagi, macam the wheel that spins 24hrs a day 7days a week. 4am is the only hours that you can see almost no car on the road. But at 5am, it starts all over again. Traffic jam here and there. Banyak kenangan di JB. Terlalu banyak. Pahit dan manis, kelat pun ade.. Some that I dont even want to think about it ever again. Some, I just wont let them go.

Puteri Pacific Hotel, JB. Puteri which is the Malays for Princess, suits the hotel. Especially in terms of the services you get.

From Drop Box


My stay was a deluxe room, cost RM200+ (government rate- hotel kata ni paling murah utk gov rate, yea lleh.. utk bilik yang mahal, memang la dikira murah..). The room was somewhere in Princess Wing. Imperial Wing would be better i think, but of course it's more expensive and better view.


Apa pun, view memang cantik dari sini. Tapi bilik ni je dah cukup cantik. Tak payah tengok luar pun takpe. Hehe. The windows wasnt simply window macam kebanyakan hotel sebab yang ni have really wide one. So, you can have all the view u want from the hotel, including the Persada Johor International Convention Center which is physically connected to this hotel. You can find restaurant there, but its costly. So, want to eat some budget food, go accross the road, you can eat anywhere you want. Its not difficult to find Muslim eatery in Peninsular Malaysia especially in JB..

Next stop when you go to JB is THE TANJONG BALAU BEACH, DESARU. go to next entry.

Pic blogging?

Dah lama la sangat tak post apa2. Bersawang dah blog. Sibuk dengan kerja, bila free tgk drama online, bila banyaaaak free buat bisnes photobook. Sekarang sibuk pulak dengan persediaan semester jun 2015 politeknik. Ada-ada je lah kerja untuk mempoyo n menyibukkan diri. Tu yg blog pun mcm rumah puaka tak de penghuni.. masuk keluar masuk keluar tak update apa2 pun... Jadi aku buat keputusan nak buat mcm micro-blogging.. tapi pakai gambar dan sedikit caption.. Ini dia gambar pertama. .............. Terkejut tadi tengok apa benda yg melekat kat cermin penumpang belah belakang kereta. Bila tgk dalam, rupanya anak aku punya kerja. Semalam dpt sticker, dia bantai lekat kat dlm kereta.. tergelak sorang bila teringat. Anak aku yg sorang je tu dah 4thn umurnya. Dah dihantar ke sekolah supaya dia ada kawan bermain.. maklumlah.. anak sorang.. belum ada rezeki anak lagi satu...

June 2008: Tanjong Balau Beach, Desaru, Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru.

During my stay at JB, I managed to go to Tg Balau Beach, Desaru. From Drop Box If youre driving, than it's cheaper compared to renting a car or something. Its more expensive by taxi. I think it took 2 hours drive, plus LOST since I couldnt remember the road.. dont blame it on me?! the road look different from last time, 2005. From JB to Kota Tinggi takes 1 n 1/2 hours considering all the traffic jam on the way out of the city. Then from Kota Tinggi to Desaru approx. 40 minutes. The road might be tricky, so watch for the word Desaru, then Tg Balau on the signboard coz they will definitely help you. Not much to look at during the drive.. expect for hugeeee palm plantations.. Tg Balau is a masterpiece. Facing the South China Sea, clear water, blue sea, and not too many people like in Desaru beach. The one that im showing you in the pic is on the other side of the beach, you can ask for direction to go to the 'jetty' they call it. Or if they dont understand just tell them '...
