Journey to the East 2

It's been very long since i updated my lonely blog. Quite bz handling lots of stuff. Heck i got tons of pictures awaiting my Post Processing!.

Anyway Happy Diwali for all my Indian friends. Last week i went to Kelantan with Steph and her sis this is the first time i drove my trusty 10years+ Iswara to Kelantan, I am quite nervous at first, coz scared my car might broke down halfway, so all the way i drive carefully without speeding or anything. To my amazement its quite easy to reach Kelantan from Penang, the road are 99% straight hilly roads no junction to turn to. I just need to follow the main road and i can reach Kelantan. The journey took around 6 hours. *phew* very tiring indeed i had a sore back when i reach there.

The Clouds are so low that it seems im on the sky :)

We started our journey around 630am in the morning and reach Kota Bharu, Kelantan at around 12.30pm. We were really lucky to see an Elephant at the road side eating, no i didnt manage to snap any photos of the gentle giant, was driving and i dont wanna risk the big fella to charge into us if he notice us snapping photo of him. The highway is really smooth from Penang to Gerik it is rather new, according to Steph the highway bypass Baling Town and cut the travelling time a lot.
From Gerik i took the East Coast Expressway to Jeli, Kelantan the journey is really bumpy.. the road is not well maintained and there's pot holes everywhere. From Jeli we took Rantau Panjang road to Kota Bharu.

Some road signs that are not always on our roads. They even hv road signs for Male and Female Deers LOL!

Once there, we took lunch at a Vege Restaurant where Steph's mum work at bcoz im still on my annually Vegetarian Diet till Nov 4th. After that i took a rest at Steph's house b4 heading to Tesco with her mum to buy some groceries. Her mum is a very good cook... she make several vege dishes for me.. *drool* drooling pictures will be up later =P THANKS AUNTY!!! for the dishes.

On Sunday we went to Steph's old school, SMK Chung Hwa for a walk and some photo snapping. After that Steph's sis says she wanna go for a hair cut.. since my hair hasnt been cut for almost 2 months i join them for the hair cut also :p
Bought some keropoks for friends that placed orders frm me.

Monday.. we went to Siti Katijah Market to get Fish Crackers for my friends b4 heading to the famous Pantai Cahaya Bulan a.k.a Pantai Cinta Berahi (P.C.B) what a disappointment :( the beach is full of rubbish and the water is murky.. wonder why nobody maintain it since it is among Kelantan's tourist attraction. After walking around PCB Steph and I decided to order coconut water to cool down the heat .. it was rather sunny that time. On the way back to pack our clothes we stop by a stall selling a local delicacies and Steph's favourite, AKOK. A pancake like kuih with the mixture of coconut and eggs.. very tasty and sweet :D

After our lunch at the vege's restaurant we bid Steph's mum and dad good bye b4 heading back. I drop by Rantau Panjang to get some 'originel' Jerseys and some peanuts there.. the stuff there is quite cheap mostly bcoz it is a duty free zone.

The drive back is really tiring, because of the traffic and the rain... but we did hv fun during the time there, too bad it only for 3days but seems like everyone is satisfy :)
