Day 5: penang-kuala kangsar-kl

we start again no so early 9:00 am met at the lobby and we headed just to shop next door "Old Town Coffee"... yeah you can get it anywhere... tapi bukan ngan jiran kan?

lepas tu kitaorg terus checkout and headed to Pasar Lorong Kulit. while Faizal & Aqeel ke hospital coz afeef boleh keluar hari ni.. yeay! hmmm.. sebenarnya ada benda diidamkan kat sini.. dok baca blog PML (Pinggan Mangkuk Lama) & antique collectors katanya kat sini boleh jumpa macam2. oh yeay??


see that excited face? ready to hunt!

ohh... so much lovely things you can find.. sediakan duit saja.. and i got myself:



and



and among all, i love this one so much! i think it is a good buy!



and the pak cik who sell the things to me thought that i am a profesional hunter siap belek my watch yg i pakai.. coz that is one of the vintage collection also (thanks bee for the 2011 birthday present). no la pak cik.. i am just ordinary person who love antiques and history so much. if i am a profesional i done that for living and my career pak cik.

before kereta kena saman coz sesuka hati parking tepi jalan we got to move.. masa tu i am still in the pasar bargain for that kaki lilin i love so much.. i almost went back but returned back to that pak cik and bargain for that. not so cheap but hati dah suka siapa kisahkan! i will keep it rusty like that coz that is the "value". thanks pak cik for a lovely tips and few knowledge sharing. Panjang umur Insyaallah kita jumpa lagi :)



among of my enamel collection reunited :) some from sabah, from perak, from johor, from singapore and from penang. welcome home :)



err.. even i said i love pinggan mangkuk lama and some antiques things, if i am not mistaken this is first time i post a pictures and elobrate more about it. hmmm.. i am just a small collector. i do not have luxury items so much and i only keep the things that i love :)

eh.. tercerita panjang lak pasal my passion.. ok lepas pasar lorong kulit we headed to the hospital.. tunggu afeef discharged.. yeay.. reunited balik dgn the convoy. kita bawa derang ke Fort Conwallis.. yes revisited just for gee & family.

kitaorg tak keluar dok dalam kereta je.. panas kot... keluar kejap2 je beli rojak buah dan bergambar sebelum balik :)






bye penang.. we shall see you again Insyaallah.. belum puas rasanya meneroka Penang.



hmmm.. masih ada satu lagi permintaan peserta kembara jiran lom ditunaikan... yes! mee udang sungai dua. let's go! hanya berpandukan google map kita pun mencari mee udang sungai dua pengkalan tambang. sebelum sampai.. suspend gak takut sesat.. dua kereta yang kat belakang tu main ikut je kan.. and tarraaa....



ye.. i dunno why derang2 ni kalau ambik gambar tgh mkn suka sgt ambik gambar i tgh menyuap kan.. molek sgt.. lantakla... janji memang sedap.. memula kita pilih udang dulu dan timbang dan bagi tau dgn dia nak masak apa... kalau nak makan mee udang kena bagi tau utk berapa orang makan.. so nanti derang preparekan and hantar pada kita. ditgh2hari buta pekena plak ngan air kelapa... so refreshing. i just love it.. nak bergambar korangnya sukala.. i nak makan!



lepas dah kenyang, dah ke toilet, budak2 dah diuruskan....kita pun meneruskan perjalanan pulang ke KL. sebelum tu hakim ada bagi tau dia akan bermlm kat kuala kangsar rumah saudara dia... masa dalam perjalanan.. i am still thinking about it.. to inform or not.. to inform or not.. and i pop up the idea to roch.. "Jom singgah Kuala Kangsar.. sian Gee and family tak dpt berjalan hari tu kat Penang singgah sini ok jugak." Roch suruh tanya faizal, is faizal ok kita singgah.... call him and he said "ok je kitaorg ikut je." call hakim suruh dia lead kat kuala kangsar.. see berbagi tugas dengan jayanya .. faizal lead cameron, kami lead penang & hakim lead kuala kangsar.. "Jiran Sepakat Membawa Berkat".

turun la kita ke kuala kangsar. mula2 hakim bawa singgah masjid ubudiah yg selalu kita tgk je kat tv dan ada pada kad2 raya dulu2. ingat?



sambil2 bergambar, faizal belanja makan aiskrim.... hmm so nostalagic nothing fancy.. beli aiskrim dr pakcik yg jual atas motor dgn ais krim potong dgn calong/cone atau dgn roti. ohh miss that... lama nya tak makan aiskrim potong dgn roti. dulu2 masa kecik mesti boleh dpt ni beli lepak kat tepi pantai lido JB petang2 hari. sekarang tak der lagi kot mcm tu.. ntah long time time tak pergi JB.. tempat lepak2 dulu pun dah ditambak kan. eh dah masuk cerita lain plak...

lepas tu kita ke istana lama atau kini sudah dijadikan muzim negeri perak.

three beautiful ladies!



and three "tough" men (ahakss!)



after that, hakim bawa kita pekan kuala kangsar untuk beli labu sayung.. i got myself the small one aje beberapa jenis tak guna pun untuk isi air and hubby beli rehal. hasil kraftangan rakyat tempatan. ehemm... beli rehal tu tandanya susuh ngaji lagi byk tu.. ehemm...



permandangan di tepi sungai kangsar... cantik kan?





sebelum balik, kita perkena cendol dulu!

again this people love to snap my pictures with foods in my mouth!



yes.. my face said it is delicious! i want more!

ok time to go back to KL.. faizal and us to KL and hakim headed to his relative's house. enough drama.... macam2 hal berlaku... i thought it's end there.. however,



see that ugly mad woman in the car? yes our car broke down just after gua tempurung before tapah... no one like to be stranded at the middle of the highway near the maghrib time which is we just got lucky not near the hutan2 just nice kat tempat lapang sikit.. drama sangat kan! yes gee & faizal ahead of us.. so we called them up and asked to wait at RnR Tapah.

waiting for the tow truck about one hour kena bawa ke bengkel kat tapah and try to repair kalau boleh.. sad news! yes it can't be repaired. what a nightmare! when i was 12 i had a nightmare in Tapah.. and i remember it until now. now i am 29++ a nightmare will be repeated?

after a few discussions, roch dediced to bring back the car to KL with carrier instead of tow truck coz laju sikit and myself akan tumpang gee&faizal balik rumah terus since i am not feeling well. dalam pukul 11:30 mlm sampai rumah and roch terus ke workshop ngan carrier tadi my bro will fetch him. gedebak gedebuk pukul 12:30 mlm baru roch sampai rumah. i am half awake. habis derang punggah semua barang tapi lantak la.. dah tak larat nak tgk.. i just need my bed...

overall trips i can say it is successful regardless banyak drama & kejadian2 yang tidak diingini berlaku. hey that's life... it is not always smooth sailing right? so Jiran, another trip? when? where?

last but not least, thanks gee & faizal coz tumpangkan sampai rumah.. kalau naik carrier tu ntahla kul baper aku sampai ngan keadaan demam lagi.. korang kasi gak tumpang bersempit2 dlm kereta kan.. thank you so much i owe you one kay!

upah penat balik berjalan adalah baju kotor berbakul2 dan yes i am on fever for a week! dah la memang cuti ganti maudilur rasul & thaipussam. i continue my leave with MC for 2 days, masuk office hari Jumaat tapi half day aje and still in recovery until i draft this entry on 12 Feb 2012. get well soon baiti!

can't wait for another trip but i guess kita dok rumah lama ni.. coz unexpected budget pasal kereta rosak.. bukan tak service ye tapi ..... (tak leh cakap.... nanti kereta sekarang merajuk :P).. oh forgot to mention, sebab marah masa kereta rosak masa keluar dari kereta for the first time i kick this car. gila anginkan!

yeayyy habis dah cerita trip kali ni...
Day 4: Penang

Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3
we start not so early. 9:00 am we met up and walked to the nearest Mamak for breakfast. after breakfast kita semua gi hospital tgk afeef.. wahh ceria pulak budak ni.. cam tak sakit... tp nak wat cam ner afeef kena tahan sehari lagi :( rasa tak best nak teruskan vacation ni but poor hakim plak kalau tak pergi mana2 kan... serba salah sebab kesian gee & family tak ke mana.

so we still proceed with our plan.. we went to rumah P.Ramlee:



berkerut dahi sbb panas.. ada je gambar lebih elok.. saja :P



oh.. i love p.ramlee so much.. membesar dgn family i sukakan lagu2 p.ramlee dan cerita p.ramlee. hey i choose bagai bulan di pagar bintang for the "karaoke paksa pengantin menyanyi" masa reception kat Sabah. i watched P.Ramlee documentary at History Channel over and over again and I am crying while watching it (yeah.. i am not shy admitted that). He is a big star but sadly when he returned to KL he is like being forgotten.. how could he be treated that way.... ok too emotional already.. but hey learn from history ok! kita tak selalu berada di atas.. ada masanya kita berada di bawah dan kita kena bersedia dgn sebarang kemungkinan yang akan berlaku..

after that kita terus ke Fort Conwallis... before that kita singgah makan mee sotong dulu with ABC.. tak padan ngan tekak dah sakitkan :P



yes that's me taking all my pills.. i am having running nose, sorethroat really not comfortable masa tu...



lepas makan kita terus ke Fort Conwallis utk bergambar... i promise myself, kalau sempat esok sebelum balik kita singgah bawa gee & family....



long lost uncle dah lama tak balik... dah kena sumpah jadi patung besi. please meet Mr. Francis Light...



Ladies & Gentlemen, Please meet Mr. & Mrs. Roch :)



I told you earlier, i love history so much... yeah i spend sometimes reading those articles.. and somebody get bored i guess :P



chief commander Roch :P



Meriam Sri Rambai.... bergambar tgh panas weyy... nasib baik angin bertiup...





it is stated there, don't sit on it but many people there don't know how to respect agaknya!

lepas tu kita ambik beca dan bergambar sekitar padang kota lama, ada town hall, ada city hall... suka sgt heritage building ni... but u guess what pak cik beca ni punyalakan.. uisyhh.. ada ke dia kata "pak cik pun pelik apsal ramai sgt org nak ambik gambar sini.. bukan ada apa... ngok ngek ngok ngekk.." nak aje ku menjawab... "pak cik.. can u please appreciate a piece of history.. look back and see what we can learn from history" but of course i tak cakap mcm tu la kan.. berbeza ngan pembawa beca kat melaka.. who appreciate each and every pieces of history in Melaka and they love to tell you the story :)







again kita patah balik ke Batu Ferringhi where else nak singgah Hard Rock Hotel la! on the way i am all sleeping because makan ubat selsema tu kan.. tau2 je dh dekat depan Hard Rock.. nice! herghhh.. jem kat Penang ni teruk betul tau! call gee tanya faizal join ke tak.. tapi derang semua tertidur so masa call tu baru bangun so tak sempat la join.






dah puas bergambar.. jom la masuk Rock Shop... kita tengok2 dulu apa yang nak dibeli:



dan kita keluar dgn.......



tarraaa.. 2 bags full... love it! and these are all we get from there:



for me, for roch, for my brother & for home :) tapi kan.. bila tgk balik gambar2 boleh plak terbeli sama design ngan gee & faizal tapi derangnya Singapore.. aiyoo yoo sgt tidak perasan ye derang dah pakai baju yg sama kat cameron.

hari dah almost senja.. so kita headed ke Teluk Bahang, kita tengok kampung Nelayan plak..





kita gerak pulang ke Batu Ferringhi and stop jap kat mana ntah tapi in front of spice garden tu tak silapnya.. saja nak bergambar tepi laut.. kata pergi pulau kan.. tak kan tak der gambar laut :D






gee... best kalau ko anak beranak ada sama. nanti kita plan lagi kay gi beach!

lepas tu kita gi makan kat gerai dekat corner hard rock cafe ye.. bukan kat hard rock cafe :P since hari ni macam tak hujan bolehlah kita ke flea market kat Batu Ferringhi tu sempat plak snap2 photo jugak kan





gee tertipu dgn gambar2 ni semua bila hakim upload kat facebook. tak der mananya kitaorg mkn kat situ gee.. tak der mood pun rasa nak makan best2 sbb kesian bila teringat kat ko anak beranak kat hospital. sempat cari souvenir pas tu hujan pun turun... kita balik la ke hotel.
