trip to newcastle

Helloooo, like finally lah kan.. Lama sungguh tak update..

Firstly I wanna congratulate 4 of my friends who recently got engaged :)

Hadi and Erin, who got engaged on 2nd of April 2011 (Will do another entry on this) and Kazu and Tina, who got engaged on 16th of April 2011. Congrats you guys!! Truly truly happy for all of you.

Anyhoot, Kazu n Tina's (our pengapits during our wedding remember?) engagement took place in Kota Bharu @ New Castle, Kelantan. Memang dorang dah ajak all our close friends to attend their engagement awal2 lagi. Me and Encek K of course joined the trip. And I told Encek K since the beginning that I wanted to fly to KB instead of driving (driving mahu kena 8jam weh, patah belakang mak buyong ni). Alhamdulillah, lucky us, we got a very reasonable fare to KB via Fire Fly, only RM90 return per person. Yeayyyy! But.. the rest of our friends did not manage to get the same fare, hence they had to fly using Air Asia. So, at the end only me and Encek K flew with Fire Fly, the rest took Air Asia (coz by then AA fare was cheaper than Fire Fly) and 3 of our friends drove from KL to KB. Pengantin pun drive with his family (yela nak bawak hantaran sume kan).

My flight was on Friday evening via Subang Airport, at first I was worried before I boarded the flight, yela takut tiba-tiba pening ke, muntah ke dalam flight, pengsan ke..but alhamdulillah everything went well. Was soo happy sebab tak sampai sejam dah sampai KB dah, takdelah bon-bon kebas kan, hehehehehe. Yang lain2 pun selamat sampai ke KB without any problem :)

Friday night, after checking into our bungalow, semua pun perut dah lapar la kan.. Ape lagi makan laaaa... We had steam boat and grill or "Chim Chum" as they call it there. Encek K yang suggest makan kat restaurant ni (macam la dia orang Kelantan pulak kan, ishh ishhh); he actually saw this restaurant on "Jalan-jalan Cari Makan" programme on TV3 couple of weeks ago. Actually sama je macam steam boat kat KL, beza cuma dia punya 'bahan api' tu using bara instead of gas, memang guna bara api direct, tak pakai gas langsung. But since pakai bara api, it took longer to cook the food la kan, that time semua dah lapar tahap gaban, so agak menguji kesabaran la jugak time dinner tu. Tapi sebab lapar, semua terpaksa la redha je.

After we finished our dinner, terus head back to our bungalow coz everyone was tired, I dozed off almost immediately, but the boys were busy until early morning (biasala dah jumpa geng memang x jadi orang)..

Second day (Saturday)

I woke up around 9am I think, but the rest mostly tengah tido lagi. Encek K pun dah bangun coz he was so excited to go for breakfast. Kenapa dia excited lebih? Coz, again, he is the one telling us where to go for breakfast (kalau makan nombor 1 tau dia ni). Since the night before he has been telling us that we should go for breakfast at "Kedai Kopi Din Tokyo". This kedai, not only he has seen on TV3's Jalan-jalan Cari Makan, but he has actually been there before. Tu yang berkobar-kobar suruh breakfast kat situ. Promote kaw-kaw nye (dapat komisyen kah sayang?). Nasib baik the rest pun ok aje and ikutkan aje Encek K ni. Kedai Kopi Din Tokyo ni ada semua makanan ok, nasi lemak, nasi ikan, nasi lauk daging, nasi lauk ayam, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, mihun goreng, mi goreng, sandwich, aneka kuih-muih, pencuci mulut dan bermacam-macam lagi. Plus it's really cheap, bayangkan telur goreng RM0.50 je, total makan untuk 13 orang is rm90++ je, murah gilaaaa kot.

tu dia Kedai Kopi Din Tokyo

kenyang sudahhh

this is nasi lauk ikan

After breakfast at Din Tokyo, we headed to Pasar Siti Khadijah, nak shopping2 sikit la :)

sila, sila borong kain!

After Pasar Siti Khadijah, semua dah menggelupur kepanasan, so kami pegi makan lagi. This time cendol and ABC pulak. Asek makan je kan? Haihhhh...After cendol, balik terus and bersiap for the engagement ceremony.

semua khusyuk menikmati cendol & ABC . Ke sebab panas gila time nih?

ABC yang ok-ok jela (at least for me)

Then...

Makan time lagi!!! Ok I'm kidding!

Engagement time!!

Theme was blue (my most favourite colour) and white. Tina looked so pretty that day. Ladies semua pakai biru yeayy! And guys semua nampak smart pakai baju melayu. Alhamdulillah everything went on smoothly. Best part was the food (makannnnn lagi). Seriously I kid you not, sedap gilaaa weiii. Nasi tomato, ayam percik, daging masak hitam, ikan sweet sour and sambal ikan bilis. I was stuffing myself until I can barely move. The rest pun sama gak. Tu pun ada hati nak tambah lagi tapi perut dah terlalu terik :(

nah! letak gambar makanan dulu! terliur bila tengok balik gambar ni.. .uwaaaaaa :'(

That night after the engagement, we went to Wakaf Che Yeh. Wakaf Che Yeh ni ala-ala downtown kat Cheras tu. But times two the size, besar gila and banyak gila kedai, memang xsempat jalan semua, plus dah penat gila kan dari pagi non-stop sana sini. Nothing much here actually, except for...... yes you are right FOOD! Imagine Ice Blended buah RM1.00 je, fresh fruit ok. Buah potong pun RM0.50 je, kat KL buah potong RM1.50 sekarang ni :( Memang beli makanan yang lebih, lain-lain tak beli pun.

Day 3 (Sunday)

Early breakfast at Kedai Kopi White House (kali ni bukan atas nasihat paksaan Encek K yeah). Kedai ni Encek K tak tahu-menahu ye. Mek Kelate Tina yang bawak. Famous sebab roti bakar dia. Masa datang memang full house kedai ni sampai takde table pun. Have to wait for a while barulah dapat meja. Yup, memang layan pun roti bakar dia sampaikan mak buyong bedal 2 1/2 set roti bakar. Makanan yang lain2 dah tak pandang dah.

kedai nama omputih

khusyuk sangat makan sampai roti bakar ni tinggal separuh baru snap gambar

ni nasi dagang if tak silap la

Then terus shoot pergi Rantau Panjang, mula-mula planning ingatkan nak pergi Golok tapi some of us takde passport plus ada yang passport dah expired pulak, so ke Rantau Panjang aje lah kita ye... Sampai rantau panjang, mak aihhh panas gilaaaaaaa! Kepala terus pening actually, tapi sebab tak tau lagi bila nak sampai kat sana, ku gigihkan jua meredah panas untik bershopping. Tapi seriously takde ape sangat pun kat sini, except if u datang nak beli barang2 dapur like periuk and pinggan mangkuk (memang murah gila peralatan dapur kat sini), yang lain-lain tu biasa la kain baju, kasut and beg. Me and Encek K telah terrrr-beli set tilam untuk baby yang sangat comel (will snap the picture someday k, hehe). Tilam corak teddy bear kaler purple complete with bantal plus bantal peluk, we couldn't help it, sebab terrr-lampau comel plus murah. Yang lain2 tu kami tak beli pun, so kira ok lah tak membazir kan. Errr sorry tak banyak gambar, coz everyone excited nak shopping, takde sape snap gambar.

me + pengantin

sejak bila la trophy world cup ni ada kat rantau panjang?? conpius mak hokeh

jejaka perasan.. hahahahah

After shopping.. mana lagi kalau bukan.....ya betul MAKAN! This time we went to the famous 'Yati Ayam Percik'. Ni kira makan last call before balik la ni. Semua memang makan kaw-kaw tak kasik chance ni. Tapiiii, terlupa nak amek gambar boleh???? Haihhhhhh..Stress betul la bila check balik tengok takde sape pun amek gambar. Sekeping pun takde gambar kat Yati Ayam Percik ni. Ape pun makan kat Yati Ayam Percik ni memang best gilaaaa plus harga pun berpatutan. Confirm tak nyesal punya.

After perut sume dah tegak makan Yati Ayam Percik, sume pun nak kena balik packing barang. Our journey has come to an end laa :( Benciii!! Me and Encek K dah siap pack since pagi lagi, so berehat-rehat ajela sampaila ke malam. Apa-apa pun, if you are travelling with your close friends, memang the journey will be wonderful, tak kisahla ke mana-mana pun kan. Plus point kat Kelantan ni, makanan dia memang best-best. Nak jalan-jalan tu tak banyak pilihan sangat la. Main point for us was to attend our friend's engagement ceremony, dapat jalan-jalan sikit-sikit plus makan-makan tu kira bonus la kan. Was definitely a great trip eventhough it was a short one. Takpe korang, end of this year ada lagi holiday trip kita kan :)

Oklah till next entry. Buhbye!
