Kukup trip
im back from kukup!! hahaha. i shall post up details of the whole trip b4 the week starts. ok this whole trip was initiated when my uncle told us the RC at his hse there got this 2D1N trip to kukup. that was like 2 mths ago. so altogether there's my family, thats 4 , my aunt, my uncle, 3 cousins and their grandma. total 10. i think it's $85 per pax or smth. yah anyway, woke up at 6.30am on sat morning, and set off for breakfast at gek poh an hr later. boarded the bus at 8.30am and off we go!
Day 1
this is my first time using the biometric method to clear the singapore custom. heh. very cool. and the damn queue at the malaysia customs, but the immigration officer lady was very friendly. serving with a smile and had small talk with everyone at the queue. cool. after that we dropped by a place i dunno wad's the name, for breakfast. but we all ate so we ordered drinks. dam cheap. imagine 10 of us ordered those hot tea and kopi, the bill is only RM10 only. hur. den on we go to kukup. it's at Johor, Pontian, FYI. reached at abt 12+pm and we carried our luggages into the chalet, or how u call that. surprised to see the place developing now. the last time i went there with my mum's company, we only lived in those normal normal house. this time it's like a bungalow. very posh as compared to others. pictures later (:
walked out to the seafood restaurant for lunch. the weather was damn hot! it's like 35 or 36 degrees or smth. and all the motorbike whizzing around isnt helping at all. every household in there owns a bike as its really a long walk, and i dun think they need a license. i see girls younger than me riding, aunties and those uncles can squeeze a family a 4 or 5 in a bike. how cool. and imagine a concrete pathway about 2 metres wide, u got to take note of oncoming bikes and there's alot of ppl there. its like a singaporean fishing town. all singaporeans flock there every weekend to get a taste of how a fishing town lives.
the seafood dinner was great, esp when all the restaurants were built on stilts out at sea. even our chalet is lidat too. all buildings on stilts. ha. after that we walked around but there isnt really alot of things to shop. just those local product like unfried prawn crackers, ikan bilis and all. hmmm. so warm and we decided to go back to our room. 10 of us shared a room and the bed and blankets were better than wad i expected. but the toilets and bathroom is abit.. eh.. haha. went for a bath and we bought ping pong balls to play table tennis there. heh. not long after the ppl there prepared BBQ food. and they bbq-ed all the food for us, like another seafood dinner. ha. so we had Stingray (which was very good. they added lady fingers too), chilli sotong, butter bbq prawns, malaysian small fishballs, muar otah, kangkong and alot lah. watermelon and kukup's very own agar agar for desserts. the ppl there were so hospitable and kept asking if we want to add anything else. we had a second serving of stingray (:
the locals bought fireworks and me and my cousins stood nearby and watch the mini fireworks. damn cool. listen to those aunties uncles sing karaoke which erm, not very pleasing to my ears, and then watch A Good Guy on channel 8. yes they can receive 933 and local channels. i went to bed first at 2330, and slept all the way till 7am. the aircon was soooo colddd.
Day 2
bathed and had breakfast that's prepared by them. very nice. beehoon with sunny side-ups and a cup of hot milo. hang around and went back to the room to catch a nap till 1130 den off we go. lunch at another seafood restaurant this time. had crabs, prawns and all. not bad. after some shopping for local products and off we go from kukup. the bus driver was from KL so he didnt really know the way, we took 2.5hrs to reach Jusco Tebrau City. ha. super cool shopping and super big. like 2 times vivocity. alot of singaporeans flock there too. but shopping with family isnt really fun. and we got time constraint. levis not cheap this time, but my cousin got one for himself. didnt buy dunkin donuts as i cant finish it, but another family bought cake from Secret Recipe and i heard that its RM5.50 a slice only. how cool.
the uncle lost his way and we took 1 hr to get to our dinner location. it's a restaurant at a sports complex. very nice food! sharks fin,prawns,roast chicken,steam fish and all. cool. a couple are holding their wedding there after we had dinner. yeahh and we cam back thru causeway after that. so scary! it's been long time since i use the causeway liao. jammed up all the way! and the motorbikes were scaryy. so many of them! argh. anyway im back in one piece!
overall i rate this trip... 3.75/5. if not for the many many houseflies that fly around in the chalet, though they are retarded houseflies, and the super hot weather, the lousy fish i had on the first lunch, the cleanliness of the toilets and the freaking causeway, it'd be perfect (:
malacca trip up next.
