Last weekend we had occasion to be in Kuala Terengganu (KT) again and this time we returned via the more scenic coastal road; the expressway still uncompleted. This route takes us through the more developed areas of Terengganu which naturally offer more pit-stop possibilities than the other one. However, as soon as we entered the district of Dungun, we had to contend with endless traffic light intersections from Bukit Baok all the way to Kemaman near the Pahang border. I counted altogether not less than 23 such junctions, which make for a very slow drive indeed. It took us 7 hours from KT inclusive of a Kopi O and Roti Kaya break at the famous Kedai Kopi Hai Peng in Kemaman, and a prayer break at Gambang R&R. The drive on the ECE portion from Gambang to Subang was a mere 2 hours only.
Next May school-holidays we'll be making the trip again. I wonder if the Terengganu section of the ECE will be completed by then. I hope so but then again I don't think so. It'll be yet another super long tiring drive but one which we will have to make. My no. 3, Adeen aka Amal the airline pilot, will be getting married then.
Last weekend he and his sweetheart, Cikgu Akma, were engaged.
I'M GOING TO BE A MOM-IN-LAW!!!

Aunty Zendra,

Alhamdulillah selamat dalam perjalanan pergi dan balik. Tahniah di atas pertunangan anak.
Zendra,
I am planning to make my trip to Trengganu next month probably from the 6th to 9th Jan. It has been so long that we havent drove that way. By then my daughter will be relocated in Kerteh and it will be a way of visiting them in their new home. After that we will be moving to Kuantan for 3 days and get to meet our blogger friends in Kuantan.
By the way which airline is Adeen flying for?
Hmmmm next year boleh buat rombongan ke ganu eh...
Selamat bertunang to yr son....

Dear Cats, can wear oversized mak datin shades or not?
Salam Marina Monroe, terima kasih atas ucapan. You run a fascinating blog, love to read your kisah-kisah - do keep it up!
Pak Zawi, I hope you'll have a very pleasant trip in January. The coastal route is a nice drive actually if you're not in a hurry. There are plenty of eateries along Cherating as well, one of our favourites is the Restoran Cempaka where the roti tempayan and kari kambing is absolutely delicious. It opens around maghrib time though.
Adeen is with MAS by the way, and he trained at APFT in Kota Baru.
Ezza thanks for the wishes. Next year kena pikir nak charter bas lah... hehehe
Aiyoh... Ayoh Wang, kami belum boleh nak spiking Ganu unless Ayoh Wang bua' kusuh dulu... boleh ke?
Bulang lima nanti kiter konfem Ayoh Wang nak maghi kenduri Ganu koh Kay Eh koh, dua-dua pung takde hal... okay?
Anyway thanks for the wellkang hahahah....
Congrats to u & Red Alfa, gorgeous looking daughter-in-law. Well done Adeen (looking very casual there).

Best wishes to both the families.
Tommy
P/S - Beware of the overly protective father of the bride to be :)
Jangan in-law takpa, jangan jadi outlaw sudah....
Congrats!
selamat menjadi mother-in-law in waiting..:D
Oops, typo. I meant jadi in-law takpa, jangan jadi outlaw...
Thanks very much Tommy from all of us. Actually as is custom Adeen wasn't supposed to be at the proceedings, which explains his casual gear. In fact during my time boy's parents also stayed away - in case get rejected maaa... and ignore the imprinted date lah (I fished this pic off someone else's page :)
Takpa Pi... semuanya lawful :)
Kama, thanks but seriaulah rasa nak jadi mom-in-law nih...
aunty,
