Awesome Catch @ Balok Fishing Village, Kuantan
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Holidays on April 13, 2012
Once again its Ching Ming Festival in April and we went back to Kuantan to pray my in-law ancestors. I missed all the fun which I very much look forward to as family time together as I have to excuse myself from going to the cemetery due to the monthly P thing. Sad!
After paying tribute to the ancestors the whole family make a short trip to Balok, a small fishing village in Kuantan. In case you didnt know, every year Balok host the International Windsurfing Regatta and were acknowledge as one of the 10 best beaches in the world by the international wind-surfing and kite-surfing sportsmen.
How I wish I can follow them to Balok rather than sleeping at home. My BIL has an appointment with the fisherman when they bring in the Catch of the Day.
Its Live Scallop!! Its HOTATE!!!
If I were there, I must be leaping in Joy and buy a whole lot from the Fisherman. My BIL bought only a kilo I think and its damn cheap! Only RM5 for a kilo.
My BIL baked the Scallops. He didn’t remove the ‘red’ thing and the ‘white’ thing. What is it called? I dont know. I assume its what differentiate the male and the female of the scallop. What I read from wikipedia/Scallop its the Roe? 
Its so Yummeh!!! So fresh!!
You cant get any fresher than this, even at the restaurant. Right? Right?

This morning while driving to work, apart from Monday Blues, slightly late because my Pierre go for his 2nd dump and stupid idiot driving like tortoise and me swearing on the mother f**ker, all those frustration still there’s nothing more nerve wrecking than what our government promoted on
1Malaysia
1Sukan
1Murid
1Klinik
1Internet
1Rumah
1Kedai
Seriously, there is nothing above that can make me a proud Malaysian with what our government is doing and now they are saying 97% of the submitted survey feedback forms are okay with the Lynas in Gebeng, the Rare Earth Plant?
Way to go Dato Ajib Go !!
Why dont you terang-terang promote
1MALAYSIA wants 1RADIASI, 1TENGKORAK MATI & 1KUBUR
97% OKAY with LYNAS???
Yea RIGHT!!!
Register and be a responsible voter next election!

TweetOXBOLD Pilot for A Day
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Family & Friends, Holidays, The Husband & Wife Daily on October 25, 2011
Some of you may knew that I won a contest in March and the grand prize was Pilot for A Day Xexperience for 2 persons or Cash of RM500. Between Cash and a whole new experience I chose Experience 
So last Sunday I went for the Whole New Experience before the voucher expired the end of October (have been very busy lately). Our appointment was 9am on Sunday morning and the beautiful weather awaits.
This is the Cessna plane that I am going fly with. wahahahahha
This one is one of the private jet landed at Subang Skypark all the way from United States! I wondered why the hell these people are so rich!!!! Parking a private jet at Skypark can cost a few thousands a night -_- .
Did you know that the Jet fuel cost RM6 -7 per litr? and a Cessna 172 easily burns about 7 gallons of fuel an hour. That’s about err.. mari kita buat kira kira:
1 gallon = 3.79litres
7 gallon = 26.53 litres
26.53 litres x RM7 = RM180
So an hour flight on Cessna cost RM180 on just Fuel.
Thats cost excludes parking, customs clearance, and other hefty charges to own a private jet/plane. To be a pilot as a profession you need RM280,000 to complete a 2 years course 
There’s a few more private jet arrive at the Skypark on Sunday morning. .. Abdullah’s wan not here. Its park at the Airforce wor..
The co-pilot (my instructor) help us to take this photo. (psst.. can see my Yeobo’s tetek)
Pilot’s headgear got Zebra print geh.. this one is for the back passenger.
Me listening to the instructor telling me which pedal to press and what are the ‘toys’ I can touch. So many buttons, push here and there then talking to the control tower, I am very quiet lor… ahem I pray in my heart before the plane runs on the aviation runway.
I am given the chance to do the take off. Pilot mah?!! So when the Cessna reach the speed momentum my co-pilot ask me to pull the control and suddenly the plane nose went up! It was really quick, I laugh during take off and its really fun.
We flew to KL area. Hubby took a pic - On the way to KLCC. When I saw KLCC I wish I have a parachute or something so I can jump down and do some shopping.
After 15 minutes -20 minutes of plane ride we are back to Subang Skypark and its Yeobo’s turn to be the Pilot.
Then while he is sitting in front, I am uninterested already coz I am not the Pilot liao. So I syok sendiri ….
Here’s another pic.. the co-pilot let Yeobo do the landing.. (not fair!!)
Each of us got a certificate as souvenir hehehehe

Adidas King of the Road, 2011
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Family & Friends on October 3, 2011
Yesterday woke up at 4.15am in the morning, thought I can get ready by 5+ but end up still kelam kabut coz I have not pack my small backpack. Yep, I planned to Walk the whole 10km with my backpack. We left the house at 5.30am and pick up Jynn on the way and reach Sunway Pyramid by 6+. There’s so many ppl join the run, and I reckon that the Adidas Organizer is way better than the one by Standard Chartered, for they have Fitness Keloggs for Breakfast served to us, Power Bar given at dunno which booth, Milo before and after the run, plenty of Muscle Pain cream/ spray before, along and after the run. Most of all, its such a colourful event!! The Adidas shirt is so colourful, they’ve got Pink and Neon Yellow, Yellow and White, Orange and White, Blue and Orange I like this shirt better than the one I got from Solomon and Standard Chartered in comparison. On 2nd thought, I might join again for the Adidas Run Next year. haha for the goodies again 
Before the run start, took photo first.
We waited for the 16.8km flag off before the 10km 30 mins later. While waiting for the 10km run to start, 15 minutes later we already saw the 16.8km runner almost reaching the finish line!! WTF right? The name King of the Road really fits them. Freaking fast lor. Less than 30 minutes to finish 16.8km run siao!
Here’s a photo at the beginning of the run..
Almost all of them were running like so energetic like that. Before they reach km, some of them started to walk, then 2km many started to slow down, 3km want to die like that but the water station save me and them. Continue 4km, 5km, 6km many are walking and being disillusion like when is it going to be over???? 9km like want to faint and just sit there on the road to wait for the bus to pick me up but so many ppl looking I dare not do it.
Then.. saw the sign 1.2km to Finish!! Thank God I am going to finish the run soon.. then 800 metres to finish Line… (God help me!!!!) then I saw people cheering nearer to the finish line and more people approaching the finish line and then many started to run while I still following my own slow pace walking.
I thought since so many ppl looking I should run too to the finish line at least. The organizer also put up a 200 metres sign to the finish line so a bit of Kiasu in me I started to run.
Holy Cow!!!
Why is 200 metre longer than 1km? Why the Finish line is so far away… why lah.. why.. and I am fighting for my breath already BUT I cannot stop at 100 or 160 metre right. That is humiliating!! So Finish it at 200 metre run and stop at 201 metre and go back to walking and catching my breath.
I made it!!!
10KM in 1:30hrs (dunno how many seconds I want to faint dy lah)
Its a 10 km walk -run-walk faster-run abit- walk run walk Adidas King of the Road 2011.
My medal and if you didn’t know I am TyngYng that day from 6.30-9am.
Hubby ask me to join The Star: Malakoff run next.. want meh??

Christang Delicious Pork Burger
Posted by blurcheryl in Cocktail & Alcohol, Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Drinks, Family & Friends, Pork on September 27, 2011
Ooooh yes.. Pork Burger (drools)
A friend recommended this place for a delicious pork burger meal and Christang is located at Avenue 8, a short distance drive from our home, pretty convenient.
Eventhough I’ve grown from fat to fatter, nevermind about my weight now coz its PORK! furthermore I went jogging earlier and burned a hundred calories so I’m allowed to chow down a thousand calories of pork meal.
* eyes rolling*
Again.. its Pork! Who cares about calories
Christang @ Avenue 8 is located at the opposite of PJ Hilton, that’s the only landmark I can describe or ex-Thrifty Supermarket which I assume PJ-ians should know. The interior of the restaurant, cozy, romantic and quiet. Inside you can also find lots of small and cute piggie memorabilias decorating every corner of the restaurant.
You got to to love pork to come to this restaurant.
We ordered Mussels for appetizers
Oh Forgot to mention… they have this fantastic chopped petai sambal with minced pork (add on) that is so delicious!!! (Okay I know Jynn hates petai ) Stink Bean aka Petai the name speak for its own, its smelly (click here wikipedia for petai) but I never eaten any petai ever since I got married and I want to eat it that day eventhough Hubby swears he wont kiss me that night (Stupid husband forbid me, said I will stink his toilet too)
Here’s the Pork burger I ordered – The Urban Legend with the chopped petai sambal.. Yummeh!!!! Drools… The petai sambal taste was just right, not pungent just a little hint of the petai and … my hubby who hates petai ate it too. The pork burger were served with a huge portion of the pork patty, bacon bits, melted cheese, Onion rings, picked cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and fried potatoes wedges.
I can’t finish the pork burger *damn*
This one if not mistaken is Tandoori Pork Burger. Still Urban Legend wins! It taste better.
Hubby ordered the conventional Pork Burger, with Bacon and Pork patties. Urban Legend wins again.. The chopped petai sambal is just awesome
I’ll definitely re-visit Christang again for the delicious Pork burger with PETAI.
TweetMini Zoo Kuantan
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia on August 5, 2011
If you visit Kuantan, dont miss the Mini Zoo in Taman Teruntum, because …………….
It is Free!!
You can see Sun Bear!
Coming from Kuantan town, you will pass by the mini zoo before reaching the Teluk Cempedak. This place is hard to miss and they have a huge road sign at the side of the road.
Not entirely well maintained zoo but I still find it still worthwhile to visit, its run by the government I presume still its not a bad to add this attractions to your itinerary. No rush right? Btw parkings are ample, free also.
Anything and anywhere free you must go (kiasu).
Here’s another few shots of the cute sun bear. I wonder if I can keep one of his nails? Just a thought!
I am not sure what bird is this. Is this a hawk? This place is like a vacation home for the squirrels because they can easily find food here. I saw a pair of hornbill too.
What is this animal call already ah? Cannot recall. Okay.. its the otter (Thanks Mel)
A pair of duck, Sang Kancil (mouse deer) and baby goose.
Deers, Porcupines and Ostriches
Bought a bunch of long bean and fed the deers.
Visiting this mini zoo will only take you 30 minutes!

My Sun bear
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Holidays on August 4, 2011
Okay the sun bear wasn’t mine. . but I always find the opportunity to go to the Kuantan Mini Zoo to look at the sun bear. I dont understand why the rest of my Kuantan family members find it hilarious whenever I said I want to go see the sun bear. I only saw the sunbear in Kuantan zoo summo its free!! I can just drive in, park my car which I dont need to pay at all and walk up to the sun bear enclosure.
That day the sun bear has a bit more ‘action’ than usual.
The standing pose
The sitting pose
The hungry face pose
The sun bear is so cute!!
TweetKuantan Makan Makan: Kemaman Hai Peng
Posted by blurcheryl in Cuti Cuti Malaysia, Family & Friends, Holidays on August 3, 2011
We went back to Kuantan after the lunch meal in Kemaman. Then hubby brought us to Hai Peng Kopitiam, since its already another 1- 2 hours past.
When we reached Hai Peng, our niece ask me to choose either Tuna sandwich or Egg sandwich. Her recommendation is their sandwich is very nice. So I ordered egg sandwich but she dont like it. Haha!!
Hubby said their bun is very nice. So He ordered one serving for us to try.
Aiyoh!!! I didn’t know I missed out on this awesome bun all this while coz my stupid hubby said its not so nice anymore. Another of his stupid effort by not bringing me to try!! According to hubby, they made the bun and the kaya themself (don’t know how true is that).
This is the Hai Peng branch in Kuantan open by the grandson.
The Kopitiam itself has this old rustic charm and I like the fact that their tables has a marble top, with wooden chair setting and they use old chinaware. Kinda brings me back to my childhood time having a cup of milo in the saucer because it cools faster, while my father drinks from the cup.
I ordered a cup of Hai Peng Kopi to try. Biasa oni lah!
