Well, my dad had been saying he wanted to meet a friend whom he and my mom met when they performed Hajj couple of years back. He mentioned it couple of times and i think it's time for us to have a trip to JB. So we booked the hotel, packed our bags and leave for JB. In our original plan, we are supposed to leave early in the morning, of course, to avoid Malaysians especially those who lives in KL. It's a long weekend and yes, the road out of KL will be super jam. It's very common for Malaysians regardless where they live to travel or have a trip if we have more than 2 days for weekend. And we created the super-long-queue at the highway, cursing each other, not to mention slowing our vehicles down just to catch a glimpse of accident. Yes, we are that Malaysian.
Anyway, back to the story, where was I? Oh yes, we are supposed to leave right after Subuh prayer. That would be around 7++ am right? Guess what? You got it right. We were late! Yep. It's all because my mom insisted to wait for one of my sister, Linda to finish her exam in UiTM and follow us to JB. Well, that would make us leaving the house around 12pm. By 11.30am, she reached home from campus. To make it more interesting, my other sister Ida sent our cousins to Gombak, and she reached home aound 1.30pm. From 7am to 1.30pm was not a very ideally timing to start a very long journey to JB.
Then the 6 of us boarded into an ALZA. Hahaha. yes. With our size, people will be surprised how the 6 of us could fit in the ALZA, with luggage. Well, that would be my last trip (if more than 2 hours) in alza. Got headache, shoulder & backpain plus sore legs for cramping at the back seat for couple of hours. Next trip we'll take 2 cars ya so we could shop alot more. heheheh
So, when we reached JB, ayah said his friend went out of town. Hmm. Nice. We were in JB anyway, so better make full use of it. I noticed since my last time sitting still, I couldnt keep my eyes open for more than 15 minutes. wonder if i have a problem. Well, Mak and Ayah were really tired when we checked in the hotel. The hotel we stayed was The Straits View Hotel. Quite cheap, only RM160 per room. However, the reception person should be more sensitive towards your guests. Maybe you guys could attend Customer Service course before dealing with a customer. Seriously. Please do that.
The rooms were very clean, spacious and nice. Sadly, you can't expect much when you stay in a very budget hotel right? The cleaning ladies were very helpful and friendly. Thanks alot kakak for your help. That night we went to Danga Bay (coz my brother was dying to check it out!). Duh. Danga Bay boring. Not sure what's best there. I dont really have time to check it out so we went around to the places we knew. After Danga Bay, it's Pasar Karat time! The night market is very similar to Uptown in Klang Valley except for the poor arrangement for displayed items, lighting and parking. Parking not so bad kot, Uptown Setapak is much worst than Pasar Karat. I dont really have the photos with me now. Waiting for my brother to upload it. Recently becoming really lazy with photography. And disappointed with bb's camera. It sucks. Ok lah. We can't ungrateful. haish. Btw, I bought a nice hat, dont know what do they call it. Gonna post it soon!
Okay, what else. It will be a draggy story. So i will save the part where i met my soon-to-be-brother-in-law hahahah. next post. promise!
