It was Ijah’s 15th Birthday, my eldest niece, my babe… I woke up early that morning cos I couldn’t sleep. It was quite cold as the air cond is set high and I was still feeling not so well. My nose was totally blocked and I was breathing like a fish gasping for air. Macam ikan tak cukup udara jer dok huhhh haa huuh haa tak abis2. Sigh! Still, I was all excited and can wait to explore what’s installed for me that day. Everyone was just lazing around that morning. Macan Din (My bro-in-law) was up early and went out to buy breakfast. I was looking forward for some local nasi lemak and kuih-muih and that was exactly what he bought. Can you believe that they still sell kuih for 30sens each here? Whoa… and it’s the same size as kuih you get in Penang. Hm… some of the advantages staying in Alor Setar la nie. Like the ice kacang we had the day before at Pekan Rabu, it was only RM2 a bowl. Cheap kan? Well, I guess it won’t be so cheap anymore now that the fuel price is up :p. hehehe. Nevertheless, breakfast was simply delicious and yummy.
The kids were still tired and they just wanted to spend the morning staying in and watching cartoon. Like la they don’t do that back in Penang. Since Macan Din volunteered to look after them, we ladies went out for well… more shopping :) Bukan nya shopping apa pun, we wanted to buy some stuff and I wanted to buy a gift for Ijah and a pair of track pants and t-shirts for me. Aku lupa nak bawak baju pakai tidur la pulak. Hehe :p. We went to the Alor Setar Mall, got nothing much to buy there for a 15th year old teenager, so I bought a polo t-shirt for Ijah. That should settle it, beautiful gift from Makcik Ilah.. less the RM50 only hehehe..
We check out at around 12pm. The kids were hungry… and so were we :p. We spotted a Nasi Melayu Restaurant on the way back and that place looked ‘happening’. Aleh! Happening in terms on nampak macam ada large variety la. And I was right, they do have a large variety of yummy dishes from grilled fish, prawns and squids to different types of kerabu, mixed veges, seafood like shellfish, crabs, curry and a lot more. I’m not sure what is this place called but it’s located by the roadside and next to an abandoned building at jalan Kanchut. Fuh! Until I don’t know what to choose and in the end I really got greedy cos my rice cost RM11.50. hehe.. We were full and everyone’s just happy, a quick look at Alor Setar town and we were off to Sungai Petani, our next destination. The girls were asleep the whole way.
We reached SP at around 2.30pm and checked into the Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Resort. The rooms were just fine. So so only la… Argh! We were so exhausted so we didn’t go out the rest of the afternoon. But my sis & Macan Din took the kids to the swimming pool. We joined later in the evening. Here are some pictures.

My angels.. Gosh! I should have joined them
Floating Anaconda
All smile cos he's so happy
Dinner was at one of the local restaurant. Sigh! Our initial plan was to go for steamboat at Cinta Sayang restaurant. A dear friend of mine really recommended their steamboat and the way she described it… fuh! Tak try sure rugi giler cos she said their Steamboat is the best in town. She’s from Bedong ok and she goes back to her parents house ever weekend. She quite a picky person when it comes to food and when she said this place is nice, I just have to trust her words. Too bad, we didn’t get to go but we did enjoy a good meal at this medan selera and the price was reasonable too. Night was quite dull as there was nothing much to see in SP. Probably because we just stick to the outskirts of the town. So we went back early.
However, we really didn’t feel like sleeping early that night so we ended up playing a game called “sign language”. Now, I don’t know if you guys still remember this game show during the 80s. I used to watch it in TV. You have to act out a scenario provided by the other team to your teammate… without saying a word! Hehe… and guess what, everyone joined in and we really had a good laugh and enjoyed ourselves that night. Hahahaha… and the funniest act were from Macan din when he had to act out “Kassim Selamat”. Damn funny la!
We zzzz at around 2am.
Tomorrow ~ Journey back home
