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First thing first Jitra finally have its own cinema, this is a good news for us in Perlis that are already used to be outdated in term of movie.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.

I want to be a model

I almost forget that I am a model when I am still young. During that time because of my cousin sis recommended me for the shooting I get the chance to appear in the brochure of John Hancock Insurance and I believe already merge with Prudential insurance. This John Hancock insurance company is already non existence. During that time the shooting crew need a male child model to appear in the brochure and my cousin sis recommended me for the shooting. I still remember the photo shooting take place in a house near my relative house. I just need to post as needed by the photographer and just remain frozen at the requested post. After some flash and the shooting is done. I get paid for nearly RM 300-500 for just sit still and let the photographer photograph me. Easy money but this is the only and the last time I had ever become a model. It is a fun experience to appear on the

My new born nephew

The picture above is my new born nephew and just after I upload this photo to my friendster suddenly there is a surge of visitor come to view my profile. Many of my friends send message to ask me is that my newly born son. After many explanation still there are people asking the same question. Today another friend say that I look like a father in this picture and at that moment i do not know I should be happy or angry. I love to sniff on my newly born nephew and do not know why all of the just born babies had a scent that is lovely to smell and that scent will vanish as the baby grow up. I miss sniffing the smell of my nephew :-)

Journey to Perhentian Island P2

Just after finishing our lunch we will begin our journey to my cousin sis resort. Before boarding the boat we need to pay a small amount of money for entering the island. Perhentian Island is a marine park and the money they collect will help to maintain the marine park and besides that we also need to register our name and the duration of our stay at the jetty entrance. This is to monitor the crowd entering the marine park so that the marine park will not be overcrowded and hence destroying the coral around the marine park. The picture above you see is the scenery on the way heading to my cousin sis resort. Perhentian Island is not an island, it is combination of different island but the biggest island is called Perhentian. My cousin sis resort is situated in the Perhentian besar.


Once we board the boat we need to do a boat transit at an island called Kampung. That kampung is a small town with basic amenities such as water supply, shop, school, electricity and clinic. We need to do a boat transit there because there is only just me and my cousin bro were going to the my cousin sis resort. We need wait at the kampung jetty for my cousin resort boat to come pick us up to go to her resort. Actually if there a large number of people are going to the same resort the resort will provide a boat to pick you all up at the Kuala Besut jetty and head directly to the resort. Once you arrived at Kampung you will be greeted by a board saying "Welcome to Perhentian Island" just like the picture above. Besides that the sea water there is so clear until you can see a group of anchovies (ikan bilis) swimming around the jetty.

Journey to Perhentian Island

Just a few week ago I and my coucin brother went on a trip to Perhentian Island to pick up my cousin sister. This is the 2nd time I had been to the east coast. The first time I went to east coast to attend a programme organized by my university. We can choose from 2 route to reach the Perhentian Island. The first route is the route that passed through Kuantan to arrive at Terengganu (Perhentian Island is situated in Terengganu state). The second route will pass you through gerik and then enter Terengganu through Kelantan. The travelling time for both route is almost the same but on my trip there used the gerik road to reach Terengganu. Along the Gerik road you will see a elephant crossing road sign, this is not the typical road sign that you can see.

The first 2 picture is the surrounding of the jetty. Right after we arrive at the jetty I and my cousin went for lunch and as you can see from the picture above. The shop is famous for its soup ekor. The soup is boiled by using cow parts and it is very tasty. The other famous food is the peach colour gravy you see on the picture above. I do not know what it is made from but the taste sure is special and tasty. After finishing lunch is time to continue our journey to the island.
