Strange thing in Perlis



There is a strange phenomena happening in Perlis during the fasting (ramadan) season. KFC there as you can see above in the picture will only open for business at 3.00 p.m. and the worst thing is the Muamalat bank in Perlis, the first bank that close for business for 1 and half hour during the fasting season. What I hate about this bank is this is the first time they ever close during fasting season. Usually that bank never close even on friday during their friday prayer. This will become a nuisance to the people because they cannot do their banking during the bank working hour and this is the only close today and other bank is work as usual. How do a bank serve people when it is close during its working hour? The timetable that stick to its window glass door do not mention any break during the week day.

As for KFC why they cannot operate as usual just like other KFC in KL, not all people fast during the fasting season and I know majority of population in Perlis is muslim but do KFC care about others that do not fast during the fasting season?

Jitra and Alor Setar 1 day trip

Its been a long time since I updated my blog, sorry for the reader out there who are reading my blog. The delay in updating my blog is due to my laziness, although I have tonne of thing that I would like to share with you but because due to my laziness to transform my thought into words. Cut the crap and let my blog begin.

The pop corn bar

The box office

The entrance to the cinema

First thing first Jitra finally have its own cinema, this is a good news for us in Perlis that are already used to be outdated in term of movie. Now we can watch the latest movie without having had to travel all the way to Alor Setar. Jitra is just 45 minute away from Kangar when compare to Alor Setar that are at least 1 hour away from Kangar. The first movie I and my friends watch there is The Mummy 3 and the movie suck big time. The cinema is quite good, it is a cineplex some sort like GSC or TGV but it only got 4 cineplexes. 3 is normal cineplex that do not have surround sound system and only 1 have a proper surround system. Nothing is perfect but at least we still have a cinema that is nearer to us student study in Perlis.

Big bike show case

After finished watching the movie we went for a stroll around the small shopping complex where the cinema is housed in. The shooping complex opened for business not long ago and this is the biggest shopping complex and the most happening place in a small Jitra town. Before we leave for Alor Setar we manage to get a glimpse at the big bike show case at the mall main entrance and to my amazement most of the big bike seen on the show case is own by chinese people. This is very different in KL that most big biker are malay people.

Fish ball noodle soup stall

12 fish ball in a bowl of noodle!!

After the small detour we continue our journey to Alor Setar. Actually we went on this trip to get our final year project component at Alor Setar and we maximize the fun by detouring to watch movie. After finish shopping for our final year project component we went to eat. My friend recommended that place because beside you can get 12 fish balls in a bowl of noodle soup, all the fish ball is actually hand made and it only cost RM 2.50 a bowl. Damm cheap and the fish ball taste damm good!!!

50 cent Lok lok !!!!!!!!

After finish eating the 12 fish balls noodle soup we went to a lok lok stall to have our desert. The lok lok stall is near to the fish ball noodle soup and you must be wonder why on earth do I introduce you all to lok lok, it can be found anywhere. I know lok lokj can be found anywhere but the lok lok stall I introduce is very special. Not the lok lok they provide is special, their specialty is FLAT RATE lok lok!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where on earth you can eat flat rate lok lok, all lok lok is different in prices depending on what is on the lok lok but here in Alor Setar they do not care about this and all their lok lok only 50 cent per stick. They have sotong, pork ball and other ingredients that are common to lok lok.

After finish the lok lok we end our journey by returning back to Perlis.
