kuantan trip 2009

ok... i shall try to write this entry in accordance to the photos i've taken in my camera..

DAY 1 - 03/04/09
Woke up at around 8 plus.. shit... hate waking up so early.. especially when i'm on leave..
Left the house at around 0930... went to the patrol kiosk for some petrol...and some last minute tit bits...
Mum bought one big roast duck for relatives in kuantan..
This i do not understand..... don't they have roast ducks in Kuantan...
Please also note that this duck is very lucky.. cos it travelled from Singapore all across the causeway to Kuantan.. and then later...i heard from my mom... that some parts of the duck actually came back to J.B... all in all without a passport...
some pix of me and my sister...feeling bored in the car!!!


We arrived in Kuantan at about 3.30pm..checked into our regular hotel... Surprisingly, we were very well received by the new concierge guy.. his name... Anwar..and i think my sister has a crush on him!!!! shit.. forgot to take photo with him...if not can post here!!!
We walked to the nearest..and one of the only shopping centers..aptly named Megamall.. Stopped at our regular optician and made some new glasses... i got my PRADA!!! i love PRADA... and the best part is..its much much cheaper than Singapore cos of the exchange rate!!!
heres' some pix..



After that... we proceeded to my uncle's place.. this is also the place where my grandma is putting up at... my uncle and his wife... are christians..so for some reason..they do not go for our usual Qing Ming activities anymore.. They sort of own a few bird's nest caves in Kuantan..so yah..they're Bird's Nest Wholesalers.. i think...they're very rich... *shrugs* They actually employ maids to handpick the feathers of the unrefined bird's nest...
Here's some samples which we took...

That night we went to the famous SATAY ZUL for dinner... yum yum... the nasi lemak is the best..and the satay..simply... delightful...




SECOND DAY - 04/04/09
We woke up real early again to go visit our ancestor's graves.. and i really mean graves.. We had never tried going to "sweep graves" on the actual day..this year we did... it was raining.. and dad said... its usually like this on the actual day..
Took about 2 hours... and we all went for breakfast after that... it was fun.. i had a good time teaching one of my uncles on the "amazingness" of my IPHONE..
After breakfast, me and me mum and me sis went for our Dermalogica facial.. I swear.. the Dermalogica products there are about $15 cheaper after the exchange rate ... my Gawd.. so cheap!!! Enjoyed the facial..but i think i'm having a lil bit of breakout though!!!
Later we adjourned to the new Shopping centre called East Coast Mall or more commonly known as ECM... very very big shopping complex with carrefour... We had lunch at a imitationed hk "cha chan ting" The food is actually quite decent... and i love the desert...
Here's what's left of it!!!




Went to the beach after that... mum and dad bought some fruits by the beach..so romantic... there were also some monkeys monkeying around!!!







When night came... mum went out with my cousin and dad had a reunion with his secondary school mates..
Me and my sister ended up having KFC in the hotel room..it was great... Malaysia's KFC taste so ORIGINAL!!!
Zinger Burger~~~my fav~~~didn't look that appetizing.. but every bit... tantalizing...


My niece came over to our hotel room later in the evening.. her name is Qian Hui.. .and she's so cute... She's 7 but looks really small....




And this photo of me and my mum was taken by her!!!


We left at around 2.30pm the next day...stopped at some dried seafood place for some cuttlefish and prawn crackers... overall..it was good to be back in singapore.. i will miss kuantan though..
TILL NEXT TIME~~~
