location : Duta Village, Cherating Beach, Kuantan
duration : 3 days...
purpose : relaxing, food, and of course scouting
reached kuantan safely after 4 hours of butt-aching journey... even though it's only 4 hours to travel from west to east.. but my boney ass tells me that i should do something bout it to avoid such turmoils in coming years... a big thank you to the government for successful completion of the Karak - Temerloh highway... for that's the worst part of the journey if one takes the old road... confirm ur precious kah cheng will be flat... if u seek such errm... reduction formula.. u can request ur family to take that route instead if u wanna visit the easthen shores of peninsula malaysia >.<
we stayed in a chalet... quite spacious despite its looks from outside... there are 2 rooms... plus the living room with sofa bed!! so dudes who are interested to go Kuantan next time... we can make a trip there.. .:p
opened the window to be greeted by a bird's nest!! there's 2 eggs inside.. hrrm.. some spring mating season huh? we are in luck!! :p the bird was there even though we humans are curious to see it incubating the eggs... nice.. discovery channel in the making.... amateur version... :p
it's a carefree life... days are spent in the chalet itself playing winning eleven... (bro brought his ps2 over), SLEEP... and of course none other than playing with the waves... got tanned too... become darker u guys might say... oh well... I AM!! XD
getting food in kuantan is quite convenient...speaking bout food... that's one of the main purpose of this trip's agenda! to taste the local cuisines!!! Nasi dagang, nasi minyak... nasi lemak... OMG! they come in packets! and endless numbers!! Sata (some malay pastry with fish meat wrapped up like a cone in banana leaf and grilled to perfection... hoh jiak)... lekok...otak0-otak... akok bahulu(ji dan gao).... weird names.. but same ol familiar stuff... if u know wat on earth at first sight.. then u are safe! to eat i mean....
u guys should look out for grilled stingray... a must have from the menu... the kuah is different compared to the ones over here... and of course the fish is fresh.. since it's near beach.. :p
*NO KFC sighted during this trip... a sad case especially for my bro!*
travelled up to Kemaman, Terengganu to have a look around... (always a routine to go there if we go to Kuantan for vacation) the infamous Stuffed Crab has lost part of its reputation for being nice and succulent and filling... now it's kinda 'flat.. oily... and EXpensive!"... haih... no more visiting to that restaurant again... (Dong Yuan for those who are interested... it's located by the river) Kemaman is also a good place to buy Malay Cuisines.. thus MORE sata and Otak-Otak are bought... and shoved into the car... making the car full of aromatic smell... popped a few into the mouth of course on the way back to the chalet... >.<
overall.. nothing much happened in this trip... it's total relaxation.. feeling younger once more!!
note : a bad scouting trip for me... not much lui's to be kap'ed... don't mention bout lui's... even chinese ppl are hard to be seen!! saw 3 chinese gals which are rated ok in hypermarket... they worked there part time... well.. that's the only sole comfort... haih~ -.-"
