Chapter 43: Under the Sky of Terengganu

Assalammualaikum.. 

I know I had been lacking in writing lately.. To be honest, I'm here almost all the time but the effort of writing is just not around.. I'm not gonna to lie, I'm not emotionally fine, lots of things had been bothering my mind; the practicum which gonna start next week, the hectic of finding new rented house and I've been just feeling tired lately.. Oh and just in case you're staying in Ampang Baru area, and you happened to know any empty room available, please inform me.. 😭

Okay let's just get back to the topic.. I've been wanting to write about my Terengganu trip but frankly writing, I don't know how or where to start.. But, I still should write the memory so here I am, getting ready to be back on the memory lane of our simple, memorable journey..

Day 1: The Journey

the fantastic four..? haha..

From left: Anis (yes, we had the same name), yaya, me, and Ain 

Since we're taking the morning bus from TBS, there's nothing much that happened among us since we just sit still and all I had been doing was watching Gossip Girl from iflix and taking the long nap throughout the journey.. Although all we had been doing were sitting and napping, we're already too tired when we arrived Kuala Terengganu at the dusk..We just did some sightseeing from a friend's car, on our way to Shahir's house.. 😅

Day 2: Kuala Terengganu

If you do read Chapter 41,  you would know there's actually 7 of us altogether.. At first, we wanted to just go around by the local bus but with actually weather which was way too hot, it's just impossible.. Luckily, Anis' friend whom was studying in UMT willing to help us by getting a cheap rental car which was offered to the UMT students and making things more relieved, he became our tour guider and photographer of the day..

He's responsible to bring us to explore KT so he brought us to Kampung Cina for photography session, Pasar Payang for us to shop, Losong as it's the hot spots for keropok lekor, Muzium Terengganu (as we've no idea where else we could go and it's still early for celup tepung foods), and lastly, Warung Adik Beradik for celup tepung foods. 

So here are some memory portraits of the day.. 💕

Left from the front: Ecah and Nabilah

The photographer kept joking, saying  "senyum tak ikhlas" so here it is, our most sincere smile.. 

💕Warung Adik Beradik

okay I wonder why I had an awkward smile here and oh..! That's the "abang tour guider" as he had claimed.. haha

We wanted to try the famous Pok Nong stalls but it was closed for the day... We had another two alternative, Pok Long and Firdaus but too bad, both of them were closed too so we end up googled for another suggested stalls for celup tepung and in the end, here we are.. 

since the stall is just right next to the beach, why not..?

Day 3: Dungun

To be frank, it's was the most wasting journey ever but, remembering back the mesmerizing view,  The bushy cottony clouds, the blue sea along Dungun, nope, no regret.. We wanted to go to the waterfall nearby but just before we're getting out from the house, Syahir's Ma requested us to be back early as they're celebrating the birthday of Syahir's sister..

The journey from KT to Dungun took quite some time and we went to Pusat Penyu Dan Ekosistem Marin (TUMEC) at first, wanting to watch the turtle.. Sadly, the place was closed as it was like 5 minutes before the lunch hour was over so we waited, but sadly, it was not open even the lunch hour had over.. 😭

To cure our sadness, we decided to have another celup tepung nearby the Dungun sea, and again, we're dissapointed as almost all of the stalls which served celup tepung were closed.. We ended up to a small stall near UITM Dungun, grabbing some keropok lekor and fried mushroom to munch while we're on the way back to KT..

💕Pantai Batu Buruk

Before going back to Syahir's house, we stopped by at this famous spot, just to have a quick photoshoot before ending our vacation.. Well, we're only going back to our hometown on the next day but since our ticket was at 9pm and most of the shop were closed on Friday, we decided for not going anywhere.. 

I was actually disturbed by Anis, asking me to go to the other side as I was interframed during her photoshoot.. 😑
Candid photo captured by Ecah.. 💓

Our final groupie before our mood were completely off by an unfriendly sister whom refused to help taking our picture, claiming she's actually going back but in the end, we're the ones whom going back first.. 😒

So, that's it..! The final of our budget saving trip but oh well, as long as we're together, it's still the best memory created of the first our vacation together.. We're going to separate really soon as we're going for a practicum at different school, staying at the different house.. Well we're still just nearby anyways, separated in pairs and can just hang out anytime except for Syahir, she's just going too far from us.. But it's okay, We can always meet again..💕

P/s:

Dear girls, I know I've always been a roller coaster to you guys.. My unstable emotions, my sometimes bitc*y attitude, my nagging when you didn't wash the plates or throw the rubbish and sometimes, I just get too focused with my self and don't spend my time with you guys.. But believe me or not, I love you guys so much till I hate thinking the fact that we can barely be together soon.. There's love and hate relation among each of us but in the end, love always conquer everything.. Let's just remain together, till the end, okay..?💕

with love,
-Zana-
