holiday nov2011 01

By
We had an 'explorace' holiday last November 2011. Our flight to Kuala Terengganu (KL transit) was on 25 Nov. Arrived at night, an we went straight to YT Midtown Hotel. A strategically located hotel and I consider it as budget hotel. Paying RM120 for a RM150 sized room! Its definitely not a boutique hotel or spa resort. But cozy enough to rest and sleep. No weird smell or sound.

The small pic of my son was on the plane. The Floating Mosque (i think its called Masjid Tunku Zaharah or something like that..), located at Tanjung Ibai. Its rainy day so we decided to just sightseeing from the car (rented car with very good deal!)

Then we went to see Masjid Putih, as the local called it. Passing by the White Mosque (Masjid Putih), the driver took us to the Fishery Department Port. A visit only a few lucky people like us could get! The driver is like the president of fishermen's union or something.. So we get to see the real boat and ships used to fish! Its not like we never saw any, its just that the feel is totally different watching them docking at the port.. (Sentimental huh.. ) The background picture below is the White Mosque.

Doing some songket & kain pelikat shopping on the way to Noor Arfa Batik.

Here's Noor Arfa Batik. My 1st time here, but 2nd for my parents.
Rumours said batik cloth here are pricey, expensive. Now that Im here, seeing with my own eyes.. I can understand the reason. A 4 meter batik cloth cost around RM250 to RM350 (some may exceed this price), because there's only ONE design like that. Meaning? EXCLUSIVELY MADE!  you buy it, then its exclusively made for you! I ended up spending handsome money too, but luckily its Year End Sale (Y.E.S) season!


Then off to Crystal Mosque (Masjid Kristal) located at Wan Man Island (Pulau Wan Man).

Then we catch up a bus to Kelantan. Its Friday so almost all shop are closed.. But still we manage to shop for Keropok Ikan (fish crackers), Asam Manis (Sweet tamarind), some tudung for me, etc, etc..

Went back to Kuala Terengganu later that day..

Pic blogging?

By
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.

By
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 '...

I was just trying my luck by applying for a place at a new office. I was shocked knowing that my application was approved and it actually turned me blank for a while. There's so much to do! I don't want to hurt my head with so much things to think about yet, so I've decided to just go with the flow... Ramadhan is approaching, Happy Fasting yea! I'll be breastfeeding and fasting for the first time this year. Not sure if I'm capable. Soon will upda...
