2 Hands 1 Foot Goes To Kuantan

Goodbye 2006 Vannacum 2007
Another year has gone by so fast i don’t even got time to let my age nicely "marinate" and absorbed by my body!!! For the 1st time since 1980 I ushered in the New Year in another state. Well that’s the year I moved from Kuantan to Klang. So all this while it was just the klang valley. Here's a lil story of our trip.

Departed from pravin’s place (Subang) at about 12:00noon. We decided to take the Kuala Pilah route to Kuantan. Made a pit stop at Kuala Pilah town for lunch. Had chicken chop (RM6.00) at a really old Chinese shop, probably been there since the town started. They had the old tables, chairs, grandfather clock, an old blue safe & the old guy still uses abacus. Sitting at that shop felt like in a different time zone.

Strike A Pose!!!

Chicken Chop - quite nice

After lunch we continued our journey. The trunk roads here have really great sceneries (“its like New Zealand” – Patricia) unlike the normal highways. Mr. Pravin decided to “test-power” his Vios. Basket almost made us piss in our pants a few times. Top speed reached before i smacked him on the head was 150km/h.

Pravin with his "Britney"

The Proof: 150km/h

"It's Like New Zealand" - Patricia

We made another pit stop somewhere along the way. There were a few people giving us the look when we went across the road and took pictures with the road sign.

As famous as Route 66

No photos please!

After 370 km or so we reached our destination. It took us about 6 hours to reach.

Suren's Crib

After a short rest Mary & Suren took us to a seafood restaurant by the beach for dinner. It was a really nice & romantic place. Good place to take your girlfriend for dinner. The food was good too.

The wind was quite strong. Check out Suren's hair...hahaha

The last day of the year. We went to Cherating beach took us about 40min to get there. We went there to just chill with Uncle Jack.

Very comfy!

Can you spot the "Jack"?

Lovey bunch of homosapiens...including the cameraman of course

Went back to Teluk Chempedak beach after that (the 1st ever beach hopping) to chill summore and had a lil photography session. Man i tell you the waves at TC was really big and freaky, this is the ending of the monsoon season. I cant imagine when (monsoon) it was at its peak season.

11:30pm we were at Coco Loco pub in Hyatt to usher in the New Year with more of Uncle Jack & were entertained by a pair of lovely bouncing “gunung melayu”...sorry la no pic.

The Club in Hyatt

NO! she's not the "Gunung"....Prav = "i represent the Sounth Indian Gay Communityyyy!!!!"

Havin a jolly good time

Chumbawamba!

It was a good night out for all but for the guys starting life at 30 seems to have slowed down now-a-thays. Hhmmmm I guess it’s the case of been there done that. The animal within has been tamed *sob* sob*.

It was time to head back to the hustle and bustle of the city life. I was sad to leave Kuantan just like the last itme I was there. Hhhmmm I don’t know I kinda like that town. I wonder if its got anything to do with being born there. Well anyway went for brunch at I Luv You restaurant. Damn the mee curry there is superb!! Sllllruppp!!! Had a short stop at the dry seafood shop I noticed an interesting name for a shop...

After Austin Powers Fook Yew opened an electrical shop in Kuantan.

On the way back we took another route didn’t know which or what route we were on just followed the sign Kuala Lumpur…and we made it back safely.

Thanks a lot to Suren & Mary for their great hospitality. I’LL BE BACK!!!!
