Balik Kampung

Balik kampung... oh oh oh balik kampung..

Yay! Finally get to fix a free slot to go home after six months, since Chinese New Year. Why is it very difficult to fix a time to go home?

1. My kampung is very far, it's in Sg Petani, Kedah. It takes about 5 hours driving distance. 
2. This time I am bringing Richard home, for the very 1st time. Hehe.. But, because both our ministry in church is kinda lack of manpower, we need to choose the date that any possibility of things may go wrong will be MINIMUM. 
3. We have to choose the date that comes with public holiday so that we can have more time at home instead of rushing back. Despite the precious family time together, the bus ticket is not cheap though. 

Thus, after much discussion and consideration, we choose to go home during Raya break, take bus to go home at 17th night and then bus come back on 20th morning. Why am I so rushing whence the Raya break is due Tue? 

1. Richard have to work on Wed, we don't want him to rush but have more rest. 
2. We are now in Emerge peak season. And we are having intense training. I feel so bad to leave them at this time. But sorry, I have to. But I have been emo quite a while for the comment people leave about the absence.. :( 

Well, so we took the bus at 9.30pm, but we only manage to reach Sg. Petani on 5.00am due to the heavy traffic coz a lot people leaving at Friday night and going to take full week leave next week.

Baskin Robin in Hentian Rehat?! @_@

The first day, I decided to bring Richard tour around the town, to know this place where I live. Not to forget, a visit to my church GMC is a must too. And, we end the night by meeting up with Christy and Kira.

Bubble tea @Central Square. Richard loves it so much.

Lunch @Edo Ichi, got a good promotion price. The food is awesome.

The sweet couple

The next day, we brought my mum and younger brother to Penang. Our first stop is Snake Temple, where Richard is so longing to be. Then, we went to the Blue Mansion. We planned to go to the Penang Hill initially, but the traffic became TOO heavy. Thus, we change direction to go to Jln Macalister to buy some biscuit to bring back to KL. With no idea where to go next, we head back home after this half day trip.

At night, we went to dinner at Village Mall eating pizza hut, food that my family seldom eat. Hehe.. Then, we went to shopping for a CD player+casette player+radio for my mum.

Then, the final day, we went to pasar in the morning to have breakfast before leaving. Richard played with his DSLR around, catching all the photos. Manage to meet up with pastor and his wife (my spiritual mama) for breakfast, and got to buy some new clothes. I am a happy girl. Haha..

We were real not happy when talked about our trip back. We had been cheated when we bought bus ticket. To the people who wants to buy bus ticket in Sg Petani, please please don't buy from this counter 25 who claim themselves provide Plusliner bus, they are cheating. That's no one there at the counter when it comes to the time the bus sipposed to come. They didn't provide bus at all. But direct us to other counter, squeeze in other buses, with time slot way later than our desired time to go back. As a result, our 10.30am bus became 12.00pm bus, and by the time we reach KL was already 6.30pm. Haiz.. Have to be wise when I need to buy bus ticket next time.

BE WARNED!!! THEY CHEAT!!

Overall, I enjoy the trip back with Richard. 

And, my mum is satisfied with this choice of mine. Hehe..
