North Malaysia Trip. Day 1

After a long wait...finally trip to north Malaysia! eh, i know i'm currently living in Penang, which is situated at the north also, but i mean north as in Kedah & Perlis. sudah lame berhajat nak bawa bonda tersyg ke Perlis since my last visit there, tapi asyik x kesampaian je. and finally dpt jugak buat trip walaupun plan last minute & changes of tourist yg sepatutnya ikut serta.

mum and others took a train from KL on friday night, and arrived here (Parit Buntar) saturday around 0600. fetch them up and went back to campus dulu. breakfast & all. then at 0900 camtu la baru gerak ke Alor Setar. disebabkan sampai yang agak awal, xleh nak check in terus, maka kami terus menuju ke Pekan Rabu yg femes utk shopping itu.

nampak sedap, kan? huhu

then lepas pusing2 survey2 ape yang boleh dibeli dan dibelahkan di sini, melepak2 sambil memakan kueh yang sedap2 (serius kueh2 die sedap2) dan memakan ABC, we went to hotel yang thankfully dekat dengan Pekan Rabu ni je and senang nak carik. dah rest2, hilang penat si driver, kami pun memulakan operasi men-tour Alor Setar.

there's a Muzium Padi (Rice Museum). sangat best gile x tipu. ok, maybe sangat best gile x tipu for those yang rumah xde sawah or dapat tengok sawah dalam kadar 3 tahun sekali or kurang.

on the 3rd level of this museum (ok, why do i start with 3rd ye? hurm..) is a place with a beautiful scenery macam betul2 tgk sawah padi and sekitar depan mata. and what makes it more cool is it's a rotating auditorium! cool, kan? kan? oh, before you reached the 3rd level, u need to climb a spiral staircase, which the wall look like an inside cave wall. double cool!!

sit. relax. enjoy the view.

then level 2 is the main level. ade wall yg cantik2 tp xtau knp x ada gambar pulak. ;p
turun lagi 1 level to the 1st floor. here they placed all the things used in paddy harvesting. from the old traditional equipment used those days. saya sangat xkenal apakah barang2 itu, honest. except few things that we learn during kajian tempatan or sejarah kot zaman sekolah dulu.


and the most important part of the museum is the souvenir shop. bukan untuk shopping, but for camwhoring. hahaha

orang x pernah menampi padi..camni la..

bondaku.... my sponsor for the trip.hehe. thank you.. ;)

oh, di luar muzium juga terdapat pelbagai3 benda2 menarik untuk di posing bersama, spt kerbau, kuda & singa. pokok2 juga cantik2. x lupa pemandangan Gunung Keriang yang cantik.



next, we went to the Menara Alor Setar. the tallest building in Alor Setar (kot). tix for 1st floor viewing level was RM6 (adult). i got RM4 for IPT student price. remember to bring along your matrix card whever you go! hehe.

get one for yourself!

then dah petang, banyak tempat dah tutup by 1700. so we headed back to pekan for some shopping2. basically the mothers la do the shopping. the kaum anak ni hanya berpusing-pusing sana dan sini, bergambar sana dan sini.

balik hotel, malam keluar cari dinner but it was raining so couldn't go around town lagi. we stopped at a kedai makan yg ternampak secara tetiba (nasib je la sedap ke x ye masa tu) and parking. boleh lak parking2 tu, turun kereta dekat dgn warehouse barang2 dapur. aishh..ape lagi, the mothers meneruskan aktiviti sebelum mendinnerkan diri.


balik hotel. rehat. tidur. esok adalah hari yang panjang.
