The 1st Day

24th May 2008, Saturday

I reached Kelantan at around 12.30noon. It was a long journey. I did not go to toilet for so many hours. Although there were toilet provided in the trains, but you can imagine the condition of it. That’s why I stand for it so long, ha-ha.

Can you imagine a Honda City with 9 people inside? No way, it’s not a joke. Serious, let me tell you, and count. First of all, my friend’s parents, then 3 of her younger sisters, herself, and 3 of us. Maybe you can try it next time with 10 people, ha-ha.

Her father treated us chicken rice as lunch. The shop was small, but was awarded prize before, very famous. They have fried chicken too, special? I bought a pair of slippers here because I do not have slippers to bring to here. RM10, orange color, I like them, show you later, ha-ha.
We went to temples after that. We went to 3 temples, which were written as “wat” and following by the name on sign board. These temples had Thai word. First was the sleeping Buddha (睡佛寺), then the sit Buddha (坐佛寺) and the stand Buddha (站佛寺). The Buddha were huge and beautiful. You should go to take a look if you have chance. But they had a bit different with KL temple which is you can see the sami or workers around the temple. We were hardly meet anyone here except other tourists.

We took some photos. It was a great time, although we were tired after the long journey. We were smelly because we were sweating on yesterday when chased for trains. We did not have the chance to brush teeth, but we were happy.

We went to her house after that. Her house was damn big, with a lot of doors. It was like a bungalow, because it’s not like terrace house, the neighbor stay quite far with them. Both sides of her house are land that planted with full of tembakau and some lembu.

We had sotong and kerang for first dinner at here. Heard about pudu before? Not the bus station at KL. It was a kind of kuah, not sure about the ingredients. Put slices of chilies inside when you serve, eat with raw cucumber. Special is it?
