Oh Vacation! Part 2

Then, diary..

The next day, my parents planned to go to Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah but when we finally got there, it was like a dead city, indeed. Nothing there. Zero! So, we departed to head to Padang Besar because according to my cousin, all the business there had been moved to Padang Besar because it is situated closer to Thailand. The lesser the distance, the easier the shipment, the cheaper the cost, I think. Haha. Even so, we had time to have snapshots taken in the gas station Petronas in Bukit Kayu Hitam. For a proof at least we have been there, gee~

Cool pic, hot weather.

On the way to Padang Besar, we continued sightseeing and snapping picturesque scenery shots. These are amongst them.

As far as the eyes can see: A paddy field across the highway

The road to Padang Besar

We spotted an alien plate number of a Thailand vehicle, I thought it as cool stuff!

In the middle of the journey, successfully persuaded my dad stopping by the road for some breathtaking snapshots. Gee!

See the benign cloudy sky combined with gigantic mountains behind? Just amazing! :-D

At both side of this road is actually the biggest cultivation of sugarcane countrywide of which I thought it was just African grass wildly grows, earlier. The ground is so wide so they are just being productive, I think! =P Great.

And yeah, still daydreaming of sinking into clear cold water as well - it's soaring HOT~~ At times like this, drinking a lot of water would just do the trick. So you wouldn't be vaporised as well into the hot air, hee! Reaching Padang Besar, so this is the first snapshot to picture how exactly the place really was..

The very first view of a never-been-here-before place.

Actually, that was not it all. There are many rows of shops and a big building at the back comprising of many small stalls selling products of Thailand - ranging from clothes to handbags to Thai mattress (shape of triangle mattress) to football jerseys to foods to beautiful brooches to even ice cream!

One of my favourite snapshot.

The ice cream is sold in 50 cents, RM1.00 and RM1.50 per cup according to size we demand. It can be topping up with glutinous rice, or some cookie crumbs and at the end of it, it is poured with some milk over the ice cream. Imagine for the cheaper price, I bet no one can resist this. On the soaring HOT weather!!

My mom was busy dealing with the towkey & my little sis busy modelling the brooch sold. Gee~ :-P

It was fun, really. Although, the 'shopping mall' isn't exactly like Mid Valley but what the heck, here you can bargain till it'd be a relatively knocked down price you may not get in MV.

At the late afternoon, we dropped by Pekan Rabu in Alor Setar to have a look and another little shopping experience at a place where our former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad once had his small business on his childhood time. The most popular thing to buy here (quoted by me, hehe!) is the Kuah Rojak Buah Mak Bee. It is some kind of condensed sauce made from soy sauce, nuts, belacan and chilies, to be eaten with fruits normally. It is FINGER LICKING GOOD. Really.

View from the upfront.

At a stall with my little sis.

The colorful insight - inside.

The endless jam - outside.

Posing under the hot sun.

After quite a while spending our own sweet time there, we went back to SP. I took my own sweet time taking bath at home because that was the only thing I had in mind all day long since morning! At night, just having seafood dinner that being thought as one of a great happening but well I'll get back to this story, later.

All in all, I can't regret Malaysia doesn't have snow falling season because I simply don't. At least, I've experienced being a hot girl, anyway! Hahaha~ *You're allowed to puke* Gee~

Done with part 2!
