Awana Kijal trip

Last weekend we went to Awana Kijal, Terengganu to have a short break. We have to send Choki first to his birth place for 2 nights stay before having a lunch at a delicious restaurant, Leha Kelfood which is on the way to the Karak Highway, before you enter the highway to Genting I think. The ayam percik and ikan bakar was very nice and they have so many lauk-pauk to choose from.

The journey was roughly around 4 hours. After the east coast highway, we supposed to go to Kemaman but instead we turned to Jabor. Thank God for Zainal's GPS, we managed to find the way without the need to U-turn. But the thing about GPS is, it gives you the way regardless what road it is. Like that day, GPS led us through the one way Felda road which was unbelievably uneven and wavy. I felt like we were in a rally race. But it was interesting.

We arrived there around 5.30pm. Since we used timeshare, they gave us a 2-room apartment. It was nice apartment but a bit far from the main hotel (just across the parking lot lar). But just the 2 of us in that 2 rooms apartment is a waste la. But ape gunanya honeymoon jika invite orang lain in sharing apartement with us kan. What good about this hotel that, just outside the area, there's a row of shops and restaurant that you can try. So you don't have to fork out a lots of money to eat in the hotel. Hehe....

On Sunday we swam from morning to afternoon, rest for a while and continue in the evening. The hotel very big swimming pool with separate kids area and even has 2 jacuzzi area which was so wonderful to soak and be happy. Hehe. We planned to rent the ATV but fate not on our side when the ATV broke down after 7 minutes of riding it. I didn't have the chance to drove it. Jadi penumpang je.... So the operator gave back our money. At least we got to ride it for free. Actually we want to ride along the beach. This hotel has very long private beach and it was well taken off. However, being in the east coast, you know how the waves are, very rough and big. So we only managed to swim very near to the beach and after few minutes, my body hurt and become very tired fighting with the waves.

While waiting the operator to save us.... ambil la gambar dulu

What interesting was that I bought a water resistant camera bag - Aquapac few months ago. Actually bought that for Phuket trip but the trip was canceled so I never use it. So this time, we were like camera-whore. Every stunt in the water will be followed with a photo shoot. It was a good buy. After this, I don't have to worry about water ruining the camera. Furthermore, I don't need to buy the water-resistant camera just for this purpose. Isn't it wonderful? Hehe...

That night we booked a fireflies watching trip at a nearby village. We with few others Mat Salleh excitedly in the van when the driver received a call that there was thunderstorm and raining heavily at that village. As soon as he announced the trip was canceled, the rain started to pour heavily at the hotel. I guess that day wasn't a lucky day for us.

Disappointed can't watch the fireflies... so ambil gambar dengan lampu lobby hotel je la..

So on Monday we head back to our beloved home. But of course when you are in Terengganu what is the most important thing to buy? Keropok lekor. I bought a total of RM10 of it and 4 packets of keropok biasa tu... Wah... so happy to get Terengganu's keropok lekor.

2 happy bunnies

After arriving Kajang, we have durian feast. Memang best la... Wish we can go holiday like this often...
