Cuti-cuti Malaysia

A week after Christmas all of us went to Kedah for cuti-cuti Malaysia. Why Kedah? because it was Amli's hometown so accommodation is free, and we have not gone back to Kedah for almost 1 year.

We left KL on the 25th December at 7am, on the way to there we stopped over at Lumut to pick up Tasya and Azrai(who were there for my cousin's wedding). For normal drive from KL to Kedah usually it was 5 hours drive but since the stopover it took us almost half a day to reach Kedah. We arrived there at 7pm...so 12 hours journey, with the stopover mind you.

We went back to Kedah with one intention to become a typical tourists!!! So, we did all the tourist thingy.

26th December(First day)

Woke up early morning, after a good night sleep(needed the rest). Went for a breakfast at my favourite restaurant in Alor Setar-a chinese restaurant in front of Bank Rakyat in Jalan Langgar(I think) for a very delicious apom laanggaq(I think that is what it called). It was so good(I can still feel it...yummmy..yummy). It was family favourite. After that a stopover at Taman Rimba, the kids have their dose of morning excercises. After that we discovered that in Alor Setar there is a new Giant opening in Souq Albukhari, so went there did a bit of shopping-managed to spend almost RM150.00 there(as if there is no Giant in KL) but like my son would said..."Giant baru...best!!"
In the afternoon, thank to Auntie Yatie who provided us with the free entrance to the Carnivall. Kids had a great time, althought it took them a while to jump into the pool. Even longer time for Adriana since she can be a bit difficult to adjust herself with unfamilar surroundings. After a while, they really enjoyed themselves..amli too.



27th December(2nd Day)

We started the day with only 1 intention, to shop at Bukit Kayu Hitam!!! Bukit Kayu Hitam is a border between Kedah and Thailand, so you can get a fake goods for a very good bargain. We had a very high expectation but was very dissapointed, there was almost nothing there.....however managed to spend almost RM150.00. We end up buying chocolates at the duty free.
In the evening, we went to this one gunung that is famous for the natural crystals, and also monkeys. Went there just to kill the time and to exposed the kids of the mother nature.



28th December(3rd Day)

Today is jalan-jalan day. We decided to gain some knowledge from this trip. So, it's get to know Kedah Day. First after breakfast(another round of the Apom) we went to Museum Padi. This is a special museum that tell you about the history of paddy. It was interesting as part of the attraction is the revolving doom where there is a 3D images of the surrounding scenary for the 4 season for the paddy farmer. It was something new but that is all, after that typical Malaysian's museum. Nothing much, luckily my mother in law was a history tacher. So, we got lots of information from her. After that, we stopped briefly at the side of Paddy field to take photos( remember, we are being typical tourist). After that we went to State Museum. Again, the exhibits are nothing to shout about compared to Britishh Museum but again, they tokk lots form the country that they invaded(ask the Greek-they should know) and furthermore England is much older than Malaysia, so much more things to show to people. Overall it was a good experience for the kids and for us too. After that,we went round the town, taking pictures with the town attraction such as Masjid Zahir, the town centre and such. It was a fun. The fact that we went back to Alor Setar every year but this is the first year that we really look at the town. Otherwise we took things for granted.


29th December(4th day)

Today we decided to go to Perlis, the northern state of Malaysia. We went to Taman Ular, then to Padang Besar( another border of Thailand-cheap stuff and fake goods-Amli bought fake Levis for only RM35.00!!), then went to Gua Kelam(to see batman?), then we went to Kuala Perlis to have laksa perlis for tea unfortunately no laksa only seafood!!


30th December(5th Day)

Raya Haji, we celebrated it by going to Amli's grandmother's house. Visiting relatives. Nothing extra-ordinary.



Overall it was a very good holidays for us. We really enjoyed it.
