harn ni: Jitra, Kedah

A few of us at work planned to visit Hadyai when we visit Jitra for an event. I was not involved in the event and hence have to use my annual leave.

A couple of them left one night earlier than us. On the way, one of them text us saying they forgot their passports. Me thinking Hadyai is off since they forgot their passports also did not bring my passport despite Bryan's reminder.

Our first destination was the famous prawn mee (Malay style) in Butterworth. It's a serene, cosy place. The prawn mee wasn't that good. No pictures of the prawn mee because we were too excited. Only the place...

By the time we were done, it was early afternoon. So we got Dennis to bring for nice massage as compensation of him forgetting his passport. He led us into Alor Setar. Drove with confidence while leading us. Then he stopped. We stopped too thinking we have finally arrived. Who knows when we got down, he said "I forgot where is the place!". Cheh. What a spoilsport. So we had no choice but to head back to the hotel. Damn. It was only 4pm. What are we going to do until bed time? So we head off to Bukit Kayu Hitam. Hehe. The closest we could get to Hadyai.

Can't get into Thailand, a picture also jadi lar....

Then we went shopping at the duty free complex. Not bad at all. They have plenty of cookies that we haven't seen and the packaging actually looked good. As usual, I'm attracted to the packaging and got some cookies.

Had dinner at the supposedly famouse Chendol pulut. Nothing fantastic though. However, the service and the attitude of the people sucked.

The next day, those with passports went ahead to Hadyai. We actually can get our ways in without passport with 30 bucks. But hey. No way am I going to take up that offer. What if I couldn't get back in? I still love Malaysia very much and did not intend to stay in Thailand as illegal immigrant.

So the three of us decided to visit this place called Lye Huat Garden. Looks interesting from the outside. Had lunch before we went in. Chinese food. It was good and cheap. We had a chicken dish, fried sotong, mixed vege, foo yong egg and seaweed soup. The bill was only 30 plus. Filled and satisfied, we went into Lye Huat Garden happily. Entrance fee was 10 bucks and it's damn worth it. We surely wouldn't visit this place if it's close to home.

The thing that got me most excited was the chicken that appeared in Da Chang Jin. It's so colourful and beautiful.

Then there are the cacat arowana....

Then we saw this white goat. It's nice. I like the curly hair. This goat also has exceptionally big "balls". Sam asked why's the ball so big. I said "it's because he's not wearing underwear". And I think he believed it. AAHAHHAHAHHAHAH! Too bad I forgot to take a picture of the balls.
