Cuti2 Maulidul Rasul Up North .......


Salam evryone ......
Bersempena cuti Maulidul Rasul + Thaipusam yang lepas, kami beberapa keluarga ( Mummy, Mama, Auntie Y, Atok, Nenek, Pak Ngah and Achu ) bercuti ke Utara Semenanjung ..... pi berjalan Penang and Sg. Petani tu !!!! 
Penang tu memang consider pi bercuti lah, Sg Petani tu pi melawat sedara mara and attend majlis kenduri kahwin dua pupu sebelah Atok Ody.
As usual the boys and cousins lah yang enjoy bila part bercuti2 ni, Mummy ni penat je jadi driver ke sana ke mari, and melayan kerenah budak2 tu ...... !!!

Anyway it was a great holidays as it is still early of the year ...... a good fresh start for year 2013. 
According to Uncle H, the next one will be until those kids finish their exam by end of the year. So Leeya and " u" make sure you prepare yourself earlier for the coming PMR. This will be the final PMR for all students in Malaysia ...... no more PMR after this !!!!

To cut short our long story, lets enjoy our photos below ..........

         Pulau Kapas is the name of our ferry .......... leaving Butterworth jetty



ferry from Penang Island approaching Butterwoth jetty 


upon reaching the Island ...... Penang here we come !!!!!

Home stay at Bayu Emas Apartment, Batu Feringhi ........
It's not a 5 star accommodation but a very nice location apposite Hard Rock Hotel.
Walking distance to all tourist attractions eg. the beach, night market and makan2 place ..... very convenient for us.


Activities of the day .......
soaking under the sun at Batu Feringhi beach ....... behind the Hard Rock Hotel !!!!





berendam at the apartment pool la ....... apa lagi ????

baru lepas race ....... sape menang ha ?????


budak kenit ni dok mengarah budak besar ........ Ha ha ha !!!!

And finally the last but not least activities, melepak2 and makan2 di bilik la .......... itu sudah semestinya kan !!!!!
We had our breakfast in the apartment, lunch and dinner semua kat luar, banyak food stalls along the road. We stayed at the apartment for 3 days and 2 nights, kiranya the boys puaslah berendam dalam pool tu pagi petang ........

We went to Teluk Bahang beach on the second day 25th January .........


what a beautiful beach with fishermen trawlers by the side ....... LOVE IT !!!!


cantik dan bersih tau ...... unlike PD beach


Mama became the Teluk Bahang Coast Guard ....... Ha ha ha !!!



Lepas balek from the beach tu, terjun balek ke dalam swimming pool, tulah kerja budak2 tu sepanjang di Penang .........
Makan, tidur, mandi kat beach and mandi kat pool sampai berkilat .......  

We checked-out from Bayu Emas on Saturday 26th January and headed to Sg Petani via Penang Bridge.
Penang roads were quite jam packed, lots of road closure in town for the Thaipusam celebration.



                            Good bye Penang, till we come again !!!!


We reached Sg Petani at noon exactly makan time at the kenduri kahwin anak Makcik Minah, sepupu Atok Ody. Lapaaaq sungguh ...... pulun tak hingat donia !!!! 
Too busy makan2 till tak sempat even nak snap gambar Pengantin Baru.

After the kenduri we went to Pak Njang's ( Atok's younger brother ) place which is not quite far from Pantai Merdeka. Apa lagi ....... kami pun merdeka la ..... jom kita enjoy !!!!


Welcome to Pantai Merdeka at Sg Petani, Kedah !!!!!



Pantai Merdeka Jetty ........ speed boat services available here

budak2 montel ni ....... tgh shooting video tu !!!!!

Tanjung Dawai view from our boat ........


dah sampai pun ........ turun boat at Tanjung Dawai, teka how much is the fare ???? 

only RM2 per person ...... murah kan ???




rehat2 di jeti Tanjung Dawai sat ..........

banyak sungguh bangkai Tapak Sulaiman kat jeti tu .........


round2 sekitar arked ...... banyak jual dried seafood products kat sini




lepas selesai berjalan2, naik boat and balek ke Pantai Merdeka semula .......

muka2 kepenatan ....... sehari suntuk berjalan, from Penang to Sg Petani to Pantai Merdeka to Tanjung Dawai back to rumah Tok Njang at Kg Sg Emas .........

We checked in at Pak Njang's residence that night, Mak Njang masak Fish Head Curry Ikan Pelotan ...... Best !!!!!  Ikan goreng celup tepung rangup pun superb !!!!! Too bad everytime makan2 terlupa nak snap gambar ......... sedap makan sampai tak ingat apa pun masa tu .... Ahaks !!!!!

Atok Ody jumpa adek beradek, dok bersembang sakan malam tu ( adek beradek lain emak, he lost his mom when he was still a baby )...... Happy for him, kesian tau jarang sungguh nak jumpa adek beradek kalau takde kenduri kendara, unlike Nek Gayah every month balek Ganu. 

The next morning after breakfast of Nasi Goreng Mak Njang, we went back to KL to attend another kenduri kahwin of our cousin of Nek Gayah side la pulak on Thaipusam Day 27th January ......... letih Woooiiii berarak from KL to Utara back to KL again nak kejar makan kenduri !!!!
TQ VM for your warm hospitality Pak and Mak Njang, mai KL singgah rumah kami na !!!!




on the way back sempat jugak snap gambar sawah padi kat Sg Petani ....... cantik !!! HIJAU


yang ni dah botak ....... dah di tuai


Stop by at one R&R  ........

Poor thing, Mummy lost my hand phone in on of the tolilet there .......  Sob sob sob !!!! 
Wedding in KL pun tak snap any photos ...... takde mood dah, hilang phone macam hilang half of your life tau ....... macam mana nak retrieve all those contact numbers back ?????
