Journey To The East Coast And Back

Day 1

*Knock knock*
Hey! They will be here at 8am!! Wake up!!

I opened my eyes and got up from my bed and saying to myself, "Aren't they suppose to be here at 9am???" I opened the door and asked if its either 8am or 9am.. My mom said 8am and I told her that my dad told me it was 9am.. I quickly washed up as the clock showed it was 7.30am. I got ready to depart but when the clock struck at 8am. I was wondering, why are they not here yet?? A phone call came in. It seems that my 2nd uncle just woke up and my 1st uncle is already at his house.. So I turned on the television and watched the Discovery Channel. They finally came at 9.15am. And that 2nd uncle didn't apologize for being late..

I hopped into the car and left for Kijal, Terengganu. In the car, I put on my clip-on sunglasses and my MP4 headset while my parents and my aunt have a conversation in a language where I'm not farmiliar at.. Our first stop was Genting Sempah resthouse. We continued travelling to Sri Jaya for lunch. Lunch was alright but the problem is about the restaurant is the amount of flies which is unbelievable due to the fact that there is a chicken farm nearby. We continued our journey to Kijal.

After the long hours of sitting in the car, having the air-cond blowing at our faces, we finally reached Awana Kijal, the place we are gonna be staying until Sunday. It took us 5 hours to reach from Subang Jaya to Awana Kijal including lunch and etc. My uncle went and get the keys to our apartments while I patiently waited for him. We got back into the car and drove to the apartments. We unload the car and I was asked to carry some luggages with an injured arm.. To the point where I was asked to put the bags in 2 different apartment lots which is located opposite each other. I was stuck in the middle where my aunt asked me to put the luggages I'm carrying to Lot A while my mom asked me to put it in Lot B.

After that issue was settled, I went to the beach side with the family.. It was awesome!! The white sand, the cool breeze, the sound of the crushing waves, the clear sky, it was wonderful. The South China Sea looks rather cleaner than the Straits of Malacca. Seriously.. While walking along the beach, a wave came in and some fish knocked my legs =.= . We headed towards the pier which is located in the distance. I continued walking along the beach, picking seashells and taking pictures along the way. Took some pics at the pier when we reached there. Saw a few men fishing there and there was a signboard stating that the pier was a private property.. After the photo sessions and all, we headed back to the apartment. Uncle asked me to race him by breeze walking. I won the race by a hair. He's fast for a 59 year old uncle.. XD

We arrived at the apartment at 7.10pm. I quickly rushed to the bathroom and took my shower.. We went for dinner at 8.20pm in a nearby restaurant. Bought some groceries after dinner and headed back to the apartment. The family started playing Mah Jong while I was reading my book. At the same time, my 2nd uncle was arguing with his daughter and wife regarding where my cousin is gonna sleep for the night which was supposed to be my room. Then I heard that he is gonna sleep with me and I was making weird faces towards my mom and aunt which they clearly understand that "GET HIM OUT OF MY ROOM IF HE DOES SLEEP WITH ME!!". Eventually the issue was settled and my cousin slept in my room. After reading a chapter or two, I returned to my apartment lot and head for bed at 1pm. I felt hot and itchy so I slept in the living room. But my father disagree with that and I went back to the room, scratching. I eventually slept.

Day 2

"Mummy? Mummy? Mummy? x10"
I woke up and it was still dark. My cousin is calling me mummy???
"I'm not your mother", I told her.
"Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? x10"
I'm not your father la", I told her again.
"Daddy??!" she said again
"Gor gor Brandon here la...... Go back to sleep", I told her with a very annoyed tone.

She started muttering, mumbling and saying things which doesn't make any sense.. She eventually stopped and I looked at my phone.. It was only 3.25am. I went back to sleep.

I got up at 6.15am, washed up and woke my parents up as we are suppose to go to the beach.. I wanna go there to catch the sunrise but to no avail. It was too cloudy.. Sob sob.. I only managed to snap a shot of those sunrays shining behind the clouds kinda thing. Parents went for a jog by the beach while I sit and wait for some interesting shots. While enjoying the breeze, my uncle came, followed up by my cousin and her mom. After 1/2 hour, I saw my dad coming back and heading for the other side of the beach. After 15 minutes, I saw my mom walking back and she came towards us and there comes my dad again.

After that, we went back to the hotel and took our breakfast. At about 10am, my parents and my cousin took a deep in the pool while I watch them swim. Minutes later, I heard some weird crashing by the sea.
"Sounds like rain", I told my father.
"It IS rain", he answered.
We headed back to the apartment and it drizzled on the way. We sat down and started chatting among each other. By 12pm, we headed to a restarant in Kemaman named Tong Juan. The food there's pretty good. Went to a mini market to get some food products for the night. On the way back, we bought some Lemang to eat.

At the apartment, I was so tired. My uncles went for golf and my dad was dragged along. I took my book and started reading on the couch. After 1 page, I felt very sleepy, so I took a nap. I woke up at 5.30pm, took my shower and watched Marley and Me on the DVD player my uncle asked me to set up. When the show ended, mom asked me to follow her to KFC to purchase my dinner, fish curry and squid from the restaurant we went the day before and Coke from the nearby grocery. The reason why I bought KFC for my dinner was because my aunt cooked Fried Mee Hoon with Egg inside.. After dinner, I ate a bar of chocolate and went back to my room as my uncles started gossiping about people. I went and grab some towels from the bathroom, lay it on the couch and slept on it for the night.

Day 3

*alarm rings*
*turns it off*
*looks at the time*

I got up at 6.15am cause I wanna try my luck in getting a shot of the sunrise. I washed up and waited for my dad to prepare. We went down and head for the beach. When I arrived, it was even more cloudier than the day before. No shots can be taken at all! T-T So I just walked by the beach and see if I can get any good seashells which I did. Reached the pier and saw a herd of cows and one male cow jumped onto the other cow and nearly humped the cow but it ran and somewhat "scolded" the male cow. I headed to the end of the pier where there are people fishing. They were somewhat unfriendly.

It started drizzling and we headed back to the apartment. Once there, breakfast is served. On the table, my 2nd uncle is talking weird crap.. Al Dante becomes Al Danto.. Vegetable packet becomes vegetarian packet.. And the list goes on. Then, my first uncle started talking about Halal thingy.. Then went on with Christianity which was related to christianity coming from China, Moses story in Exodus 12:13-28, about Mary Magdelene being a prostitute wife of Jesus which relates to Da Vinci's Code.. =.= I couldn't take it and I went back to my apartment lot. Sat and prayed about it and asking forgiveness for them for they do not know what they are doing. After chilling down, I continued watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with my cousin.

It started pouring at 11.40am and we were packing our belongings in between. When everything was packed, we loaded our belongings into the cars under the rain. We went to the reception to return the keys and left the place at 12.30pm. 12Km later, we met in a traffic jam that lasted for 2 hours. Some incondiserate people started coming from a direction which is 100% illegal. We went back to the restaurant in Sri Jaya and had our lunch at 4.30pm. After lunch, we journeyed back home and myself, having a horrible intestinal spasm that lasted from 5.15 till I reached home.

At 7.15pm, there was another traffic jam that lasted for at least 1 1/2 hours. I sat on my seat, squirming and groaning in pain.. I reached home at exactly 9.30pm. Once I entered the compound of the house, I quickly ran to relieve myself. After which, I said goodbye to my relatives and took my shower. After shower, I unpacked my medicine and went for dinner at 10.20pm. Ate some prawn mee Asia Café and drank some herbal soup. Reached home at 11.15pm continued unpacking.. Went to be at 12.15am.

Well that's my story.. Sorry if its boring which I think it is.. Pictures are being uploaded in Facebook.. Feel free to check when I'm done..
