TRIP TO EAST COAST

This is my third trip to Kelantan but the very first time visit to Terengganu. Initially when my office clerk told me that we're going to the east coast states, I was so excited as I've never gone to Terengganu before. So, I agreed to go along with pleasure. But when it was about the time to go, when I got the tentative itinerary in my hands, I found that the activity for the trip was sooooo boring and very the 'makcik-makcik'. Guess what, the shopping activity conquers the trip over other activities.

I was about to cancel the trip when my colleague said he's not going as he got another thing that needs him to stay-and I was relieve too because there was a reason for me not to go. But finally he said that he can go, just few days before we should depart. My God, obviously I had to go too because there's no more reason not to go.

Except for the shopping activity, I can say that Terengganu is pretty awesome. The scenery amazed me with the unique features and beautiful architecture on some of the buildings. On the left side is the picture taken from my hotel room in Terengganu at night scene. I wish we could stay there for longer but the traveling agent has made our time spent more in Kelantan instead of Terengganu.

Actually I don't really favor to go to Kelantan as I've been there a few times before. So, the excitement has decreased when we departed to Kelantan after 1 day in Terengganu. There's nothing much I can say about Kelantan except for its duty-free-area Rantau Panjang where i've been spending quite a lot of RM for garments and souveniers. Other than that, just OK.

I think our way back was
pretty exciting as we stop over at Tasik Banding (the left pic) which the scenery was fabulous-except for the dirty toilet.
Before that we previously stop over at R&R Titiwangsa where the wind so cold and fresh. So bad, that nice place was contaminated with trash thanks to 'great' human attitude. However, I managed to snap on some great scene as in the right hand pic. And the best thing is we had our chance to see a wild elephant by the road side when we leave the Tasik Banding. It's not everyone gets such the chance since it is a wild elephant which lives deep in the rain forest.

As the conclusion, I would say that this time trip was.... mm.. maybe nice but not great. In fact, I was more enjoyed when we reached back in SP last night. Anyway, thanks to my boss who had generously sponsored the whole trip. Who knows, next time we're going abroad for vacation maybe? ngeheheh
