Kuantan! Here we come!!

The weekend was total madness! Friday morning suddenly we decided to go to Kuantan (Sarah's territory) for the weekend because some people cannot stay in the apartment for the weekend (You know who u r!!)... haahhaha... Anyway after deciding last minute to tag along with Sarah back to Kuantan, I packed my stuff and we left for Puduraya at 4.30pm, which is a bad idea because it's quite late, and we didn't buy our bus tickets yet. According to Sarah, tickets for Kuantan never sell out, but on that day unfortunately everybody wanted to go back. It could because of the five-day-week for government workers, or it could be because everybody could afford to go home now. Weird. We thought we were gonna have to go back to uni, but one of the group member was determined not to go back to uni! So we went to Pekeliling and tried our luck there. Luckily, they had a bus to Kuantan but it was at 10.30pm. Because we didn't want to go back to uni, we took the bus anyway. That was at 7pm. So we decided to hang out at Times Square while waiting for departure time....we ended up doing a little bit of shopping. And then we ate at McDonald's. We were so tired because we had to go on a few trips on the LRT and Monorail. It was like we were on a KL tour....finally we went back to Pekeliling to get on the bus to go Kuantan. We were exhausted, and tried to sleep on the bus. i think Sarah was the only one succesful in doing that, hahahaha....all this wouldn't have happened if we had a car. Heck, we would need less than 3 hours if we go by car, instead of 4 hours by bus!! Arrrgghhhh!! We were kinda blur when we arrived, and Sarah's mom had to stay up to pick us up... we reached at around 2.30am. After reaching Sarah's house, her mom went to bed and we washed up and then did not sleep immediately! I was kinda awake, and Sarah was showing pictures to Subaa. Thanes was half-asleep on the bed, and I was in the hall reading a book. :P Anyway i think we all finally slept at around 4am. Madness!

The next day we woke up at around 9am and then got ready to go to swim at a waterfall in Hutan Lipur Sg. Pandan. But before that we had a hearty meal of Curry Mee! Yum yum! It has been a long time since I ate Curry Mee...*contented sigh*... We were so excited to swim there but we were disappointed to see the water having the same colour shade as teh tarik....ewwwww....must be because of all the quarry work being done nearby....sigh...and it's supposed to be conserved...sigh...good thing the waterfall was really nice so we took a few pictures. (Wish I could post them but i haven't developed the pictures yet). Then we rushed back to have lunch with Sarah's mom. Ate even more, and then went home to rest and relax, and later we went to Berjaya Megamall Kuantan. A very big mall, full of people lepaking (It was a Saturday)...we went, watched a movie, did a little window shopping, and then went to the beach...they had McDonald's by the beachside! Cool! And they made it really nice. So being the food fans we are we ate sundaes....and stared at the black sky because it was at night...too bad there was no breeze...its a really nice place...hopefully we can go again next time....with a car! hehehehe Then we drove around Kuantan, with Sarah our wonderful tour guide showing us her school, hapenning places n her school! Hahaha...she really bangga bout her school...hmmmm :P After dat we went back and then watched a movie on tv...everybody was dead exhausted! So then we slept soundly....until at one point I dunno why, I opened my eyes, and I saw sarah also opened her eyes and she was looking at me...n then I dunno why that happened but then i sambung tido je....ahhaha....scary....next morning we were supposed to go to church but then the other 3 of us just couldn't wake up, so Sarah gave up and she n her mom went to church. We continued sleeping until we couldn't sleep anymore...ahhahaa...after they came back from church we were starving like mad and we went to eat at a restaurant called Taj. They had so many outlets in Kuantan itself....like...a tad too many....:P Anyway it was a nice meal (Sarah's mom belanja!). After the meal we bought durians and what else? When we reached home we had durians! My goodness....eating was our main agenda....

We watched a bit of tv after that. It was raining a lot on Saturday but on Sunday it was really sunny. And that was the day we decided to eat durians. So we were burning hot and sitting around trying to keep cool....hahaha Our bus was at 4.30pm, so we left earlier to go back to the beach (Telok Cempedak) and pose for photos...hahaha we're a sad bunch of ppl. After saying our last goodbyes we got on the bus and settled down for our journey back....wished it didn't end so soon....anyway it's back to the daily routine. Maybe another long holiday we can go to Kuantan again, with a bigger group. Hehehe
