Malaysia Trip

I know its kinda late now. But i just found these photos haha so here I am. I always go Malaysia once in a while to visit my relatives living at Jawi. Its a really rural area. So you can't be blamed if you dont know the area. For the first time my grandma from my dads side from singapore was coming along. Kinda awkward. But she seem okay throughout the trip hahaz. For the first day we went to my dad's fravourite haunt. Religious areas.

We went to the Sleeping Buddha Temple and The other Thailand Buddha Temple nearby. But the scenery and the garden was quite nice. My sis and I took random pictures with the figures in the gardens. Haha. They had an amazing bus system too. when I went around Malaysia, I took their public buses. The i realise how great SBS was in Singapore. The seats were made of plastic and they were stacked like steps on a staircase. One sharp break everyone will virtually fly to the front. And the bus driver will stop anywhere along the road as long as there was a passenger. And at the terminal its the bus drivers free will to choose his time to move off if there are enough ppl in the bus. I waited like nearly a few hours till the driver got impatient and set off.

The second day was my favorite as i went to visit my cousins. They had grown and were more mature than the previous times i saw them a year ago. I went to my cousins new house and stayed over with my sis. The guys who were younger than me were game-freaks like myself so we hang on to the computer with old games like heroes III and Warcraft. My sis and the other girls went to watch anime which we joined them shortly till about 2am in the morning.

The next day my sis and i spent our morning lazing around till our cousins came back from school. We repeated our cycle of games and stuff. Hahaz. Then we went KFC for lunch. Dang I hate to say but singapore KFC seems better hahaz. Our uncle was quite nice to treat us and drive us around to see our other cousins. After our evening dinner, We went back to pinang to the Inn where we stayed. For the second day, Grandma and our parents didnt join us so we were rather free. It was nite when we reached and we slpt after that.

The third day, my dad resumed his usual activity going to visit religious areas. This time it was rather different cause the temple was very wide and it was on a mountain. Sounds cool haha. Indeed the scenery was great and the air was cool. The figures in the temple were skillfully made too.

After much sight seeing, we took a route down the mountain and there were stalls along the route which sold quite interesting things like jewels which wasnt my interest. Then after a while my dad who was well renowned for walking fast did his disappearing act again. We lost him totally. Haha. My mum told me to scout around but to no avail. Then after a very long time, he came out of the market buying bananas and kuehs( his favourites) and asked us where had we been? Which got my mum real mad... Haha. After that we retired to the Inn and took a shower before booking out. Our bus time was at 10pm and we had loads of time so i went and look at the recent mangas available and bought like 40RM worth of them. Then We went off to get our Tao Sa Piahs that made up like half of our lagguage.

Throughout the trip, we ate loads of nice food. Pinang has great laksa, the one soaked with vege and Fish meat.... its fantastic man. I love the taste. The chicken cutlet i ate also was cheap and not too bad. And next on the list Pinang Char Kwey Tiao is also very good, I ate like one plate during my meals daily. The food there is just damn good Haha. Every trip to Malaysia seem to give a different and fresh experience( although i had some unpleasant stuff), So i look forward to my next trip.
