Percutian 2012 - Bahagian 1

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani

Assalamualaikum dan salam cinta semua! At first, I want to hold this post because after went back from vacation I exhausted tahap dewa dewi. So, sementara mood menulis RESEARCH ni tak sampai2 even dah bagi masa dia relax, I decided to story about my vacation. Wink3x! ;)

I think the last vacations we had is in year 2009. We went to Pulau Pangkor and year before that  2008 we went to Sabah. Tu pun angah can't join since she at matriculation. This time anan pulak can't join because he just started his new semester and will be his last. I lah person yang beruntung sebab every places I ada. Hahahaha! How lucky I was. Lalalala~ So, after 3 years barulah nak pergi bercuti. Hmm, bila fikir2 balik, I enter degree 2009 until 2011 memang tak ke mana2. Plus abah kerja, month end closing, weekend pun kerja, bila I start practical pun sama. Month end was hectic, closing accounts, I was practical student, but weekend I datang jugak sebab nak siapkan report. Kalau tak, dalam meeting kena fire!! Habis je practical, busy prepared for VIVA. After VIVA, I terus kerja kontrak. Mana nak apply cuti2 ni. Entitlement pun dapat few days and I need to use it wisely. Habis, kerja kontrak, I continue study lagi. So, it is hard to gather all members in family at one time, since everyone dah ada commitment kan? That's why draggggg until this year kita semua curi2 masa for HOLIDAYS! Yipeeee!! ^_^

Alhamdulillah, Allah berikan kesempatan for my family. I couldn't ask for more. Research put aside. Bawak jugak laptop, in case I want to write or read journals. Heh! Poyos! -.- This year we went to Johor Bahru (JB) and Air Papan, Mersing. Abah kata, "Alang2 kita sampai Johor, terlajaklah ke Mersing. Kalau nak datang ke sini semata2, fikir 2 3 kali jugak". Seriously, it was a longgggggggg journey. 

At Grand Blue Wave Hotel, Johor Bahru

Lucky, I printed map to hotel. Tak susah cari hotel ni, masuk je JB, nampak signboard JB kiri, Woodland kanan, so turn left and straight until you see traffic light. Then, turn right. You can see the hotel at your right. *I tulis ni manalah tahu, one day I nak turun JB lagi, so boleh tengok ni balik. Hahaha!* We arrived at 1030am so masih awal nak check-in. Abah decided untuk ronda2 dulu. Kononnya nak tahu jalan sana. I pulak boleh sedap tido dalam kereta, terjaga pun after abah kata, "Bangun2, dah sampai JB. It is time to search the hotel". Mata mamai2, bukak tengok sekeliling. Hahaha! Siapa suruh tido lambat? I finished packed my things at 3am. Then, I woke up at 6am. Sebab abah nak keluar pukul 7am. Mengantuklah. Lambat packing sebab tatau baju apa nak bawak. Hahahah! Ahh, girls kan fussy. :p

Stop tengok pantai dulu. That time I dah membebel nak cari toilet. Huhuhu..

Pusing2 habiskan waktu, tengok mall mana nak pergi, pastu nampak JB Sentral. Besar and sangat cantik. I was thinking that might be one day I akan datang sini meet up my only Caca. Love! Love! That time she was   in hospital with mama. So, I can't ask her to meet up. Bagi tau lambat, siapa suruh kan? Huhuhu.. Tapelah, maybe one fine days. Who knows? :)

The thing about JB which has common things with Shah Alam or KL is congestion. From my room, kereta sesak nak masuk/keluar ke Singapore. Pencemaran bunyi tu jangan cakaplah. Sampai bilik I at level 18, I can hear "PONNNNNNN! PONNNNN!" and it is non-stop until night! I kan orang duduk kat bandar, so JB bukanlah tempat I kot. I mean for vacation. After abah settled with his work, he asked, "Petang nanti nak pergi mana?" Jeng3x..

Before ni, I ada suarakan nak pergi Legoland. Hmm, tetapi abah said I was too old to play plus kalau adik sihat boleh jugak nak pergi. Tatau ke anak dia still a child? Hahaha! Angah pulak added, "Takde apa best pun sebab banyak tak siap lagi". How frustrated I was. Nasib I tak boleh hentak2 kaki tanda protes. Hahaha! No, I didn't do that. Oh no, I'm not immature. O_o 

So, after google-ing what are places that need to be visits when you at JB, one of it are JPO! Again, lucky I bring my laptop. I can use it to search maps to JPO. Abah sangat depending kat kitorang kay. Tahu anak2 dia besar dah, so dia tapayah pening2 nak cari jalan. Rupanya, while kitorang tertido sedap lentok dalam kereta, ibu ada baca, "Oh ni Johor Premium Outlets". Then, abah buat tatau je lah. Both of them, tatau itu tempat shopping. Hahaha!! Kitorang dok penat mention, "JPO! JPO!" Rupanya dah nampak before ni? Kan bagus I tak tertido. Tapayah susah nak google maps bagai. Hahahaha! -.-

After Maghrib, baru keluar dari JPO. I tak berapa into shopping sebabnya, kat Shah Alam pun ada. KL ada. Angah je lah, beli kasut!!! Hish, nasib tade size 4. >_< Kitorang sometimes macam twins. Apa dia suka, I suka. Tapi ada je I suka, dia tak suka. Ada jugak apa dia suka, I tak berapa nak suka. Haaa, peninggggg! Malam tu, ronda2 JB. Tengoklah kereta parking kat tepi2 jalan. Mula2 sikit je, so buat tatau sebab nak cari Angsana Mall. Malam2 dia macam hilang dari pandangan mata. Adoii.. Pusing2 cari. Angah pulak tak charge phone dia. Sesat2 jugak mencari. Bila tak cari nampak pulak. Geram betol. Macam tak bagi pergi je. Hahaha! Sampai Mall dah nak dekat pkol 10pm. Kedai pun nak tutup dah. Sabar je lah jah oiii.. Abah dah penat nak driving, so pastu balik hotel je. Esoknya nak drive jauh lagi, so he need a good rest. Masa otw balik hotel tu, tengok kereta2 parking kat tepi2 jalan penuhhhhhh! Rupanya kat situ macam ada night markets. Sebab I can see satu kedai ni "Bundle". Ahh, ruginya tatau ada jual2 ni. Nak tak nak redha je lah. Masing2 dah penat. (~.~)

2nd day! Perjalanan ke Mersing. Masing2 tatau. Hahaha! Again, again, I google maps lagi. Cari manalah Air Papan ni. Nak exit highway mana. Abag keep asking, "Abah nak tahu exit mana je. Nak keluar dari hotel ni ke mana?"  I was like, "Mana pulak nak exit? Adoii.. *garu2 kepala* Gigih ni baca map, pahamkan, ibu siap pesan salin jalan apa nanti nak lalu. Lamalah jugak kami dok membelek maps before check-out. Macam amazing race pulak rasanya. :[ Last2, masa abah isi minyak, I said, "Why don't abah ask people? Mana tau dorang lagi tahu the short-cut ways to go there. Macam kita duduk Shah Alam, kita tahu mana jalan dekat". Nasiblah abah tanya, kalau tak ke mana2 lah perginya. Hahaha! Pakcik tu kata, ikut jalan dalam. Dari JB nak ke Mersing adalah dalam 2 jam. Errrkkkk :[[ Ibu dah pesan, jangan nak tido dalam kereta. Tapi, I terlelap jugak dalam few minutes. Hahahaha!

I dengan angah pasang lah GPS dengan maps. Berbaloilah ada handphone connect with internet. Tapi angah, again, tak charge phone. Hish! -.- But, alhamdulillah, signboard ada plus I on je maps dalam phone. Manalah tahu in case tatau directions. Basically, dari JB ke Mersing ikut jalan dalam ni, straight je jalannya. Ada jugak jalan dia macam nak ke Segamat. I that time tahan je nak vomit. Nak tido taboleh, sebab kena alert kan abah which direction nak kena pergi. Sampai Mersing dalam 11am, then start searching Air Papan. Actually, abah asked me to search any beaches yang cantik2 kat Mersing. I told him I pernah sampai Mersing dulu time diploma. It was when I in part 2, compulsory for Badan Pertolongan Cemas (BPC) to join camping. But I can't recall nama tempat tu. Gambar tade, catatan apatah lagi. Plus, it was longggg time ago. Mana nak ingat. Naik bus, dah gelap, turun2 je sampai. >_< So, I baca reviewed kat internet, semua dok kata pasal Air Papan. I kata, "Okie abah, kita pergi Air Papan!"

Tempat tu kalau nak ke pekan Mersing dalam 15 minit je sampai dah. Ia agak terpencil, sampai internet connection pun takdo. Cacing kepanasan jugak mula2. Haish, ni lah budak2 zaman IT. Tade internet rasa macam tak complete hidup. Hahaha! But then, I think it was good to cut off any outside connections while I'm having my precious time with beloved ones. Means, I appreciate whats happening around me and think positive. Mesti ada hikmahnya semua ni. Well, pasal tempat to stay, I read lots of review. Sebabkan abah nak yang betol2 depan pantai, ibu pulak nak yang budgetary monetary policy, so I kata, kita pilih Sri Tanjung Chalet. Even the room quite small to fill up 5 people in it, again I tried not to "membebel" sebab this is vacation. Bila lagi nak rasa kan?

 This picture I captured before balik. Memang I stand depan chalet ni. Dekat betol lah kalau nak ke pantai tu. Subhanallah, cantik kan? Kamera tak berapa canggih tapi cukuplah ni. I tunggu orang nak bagi kamera Samsung yang connect with 3G tu. :)

Lepas subuh terus keluar bilik sebab nak tengok sun rise! Subhanallah, cantik sangat. Tenang je sini. Ombak dia besar. Sini kan Laut Cina Selatan, orang kat kampung cakap, angin dia kadang2 boleh sampai 60km/j.

Ibu kata,"Takde kerja eh? Duk tulis2 nama orang atas pasir pantai" Chillex lah ibu, tulis pastu padam balik. Huhuhu..

Haa, siapa tahu ni apa??? Ini ikan buntal yang real okie, still berbisa. Cumanya orang tu kata, dia dah buang isinya. Abah beli satu tapi modify letak lampu kat dalam ikan. Cantiklah. Harga kat tempat lain katanya taboleh nak nego2, sebab dia buat sendiri semua ni. Dari keluar kan isi ikan, jahit balik, masukkan belon dalam perot supaya dia mengembung, pastu pecahkan belon, keluarkan balik sisa2 belon, dan itu semua bukan senang. Bisa dia still ada. Orang tak biasa ni, memang boleh mati kalau kena bisanya. Bisa dia sama macam kena patuk ular tau. Tapi sebabkan pakcik tu minat, ia menjana pendapatan dia. Hasil dia dah sampai ke Central Market, kat Putrajaya, bahkan dah masuk paper. Lupa pulak nak amik gambar dia. Huhuhu.. Cubalah cari kat mana2 pantai, jumpa tak? Pastu tanya, yang harga ikan besar ni berapa agak2?

Apa yang best pasal vacations sebab I will learn something new. Benda2 pelik yang I tatau, tempat2 orang, besides ia mengeratkan lagi hubungan kekeluargaan. Not to mention foodssss! Oh, pagi breakfast, jalan2 pastu lunch. Jalan2 then tea break. Jalan2 then dinner. Mana I tak buntal macam ikan? Hahahaha! Makan tu best especially dengan orang2 yang anda sayang. That's why I loveeee vacations.

Tips that I can give:
1) Before having a vacation, read a lot about places that you want to go. Etc: Hotels, Foods, Price, Interesting Places
2) Prepare yourself with maps/GPS/infos about time to prayer at places you want to go. Sebabnya, I taboleh dapat internet connection, so I kena budget2 waktu solat. Solat awal sangat kang ragu2. Huhuhu
3) Malu bertanya sesat jalan. Yes, that's so true! It is good for you to ask, not only depending on your gadget 100%.
4) Prepare baju yang tapayah iron. Oh, for ladies, kalau boleh pakai tudung yang tapayah nak iron. This is holiday, so you can save your time to do something else rather than ironing bajus/tudungs. I pinjam tudung2 ibu yang instant sebab I malas nak menggosok. Nasiblah ibu. I bawak je iron sebab taknak pinjam iron hotel/chalet. Hahaha! Again, I fussy. ;p
5) Mingle with local people. ASK, TALK, ASK, TALK about their places. You should get some infos that you might don't even know.
6) Don't complaint or you might ruin everyone else. What you give, you get back. Hahahah! Mula2 je, pastu I dah boleh accept.
7) Try to look and focus at your loved ones ONLY. Yelah, maybe lepas ni kita busy so tade masa nak 100% concentrate to each others. This is the time. Kan? :)

Tu je I boleh fikir sekarang. InsyaAllah, there will be Bahagian 2. I will update as soonest as possible. This time different location with different peoples. Heheheh.. Hoyeahhh!! How I wish I can be so determined when I'm writing my research. Apa2 pun, appreciate people who cares about you. Family is our priority. Right? Cintai Allah, Rasul, and Family. After I kahwin nanti, I kena add Suami after Rasul tapi kalau lelaki, Isteri after Family. Sebabnya, syurga kita bergantung kepada redhanya mereka dan redhanya Allah. Oh dah midnite, so I guess this is it. See you when I see you! :)
