Last December school break, Akid and I flew back to Malaysia, followed suit by hubby 2 weeks later. Being in Malaysia means makan, makan and makan, especially when we were in Kota Bharu (KB). Ayyo, we had put on few kgs :(
Almost every morning in KB, we had nasi (rice) for breakfast. Either 'nasi berlauk, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang' and sometimes, on top of nasi we had 'pulut pagi', 'laksam' or some sweet dessert i.e. 'kuih-muih' such as 'cek mek molek', 'serikaya' etc. I don't have the pics for all these as I'm not a kind of person who'll take the pic of every single food. I think I should consider to take pics of traditional food as I believe not many are familiar with Malaysian and Kelantanese food.
Pic 1: Nasi kerabu ayam percik & sup campur
Pic 2: Akid with the grandparents having breakfast at Tok Ti's house. It was her birthday on Christmas day, so I brought along the birthday cake.
Oh, I miss these: ABC & Colek jambu
On our way to Kota Tinggi, we stopped by the newly launched JPO (Johor Premium Outlet) located in Kulaijaya. Well since it was on a new year holiday, the mall was packed with people, mostly the locals and Singaporeans. My intention was just to have a look and survey the prices offered for branded stuffs such as burberry and coach but there were long queues to enter those shops. I didn't have that kind of patient to queue along. So no comment on those stuffs. For other shops in general, I can say at that point of time, the choices were not much and the prices were not worth it. I'm also comparing the prices for Salvatore Ferragamo (SF). There were more choices in Klia SF shop and the prices were discounted ranging of 30-50%. At Klia, one could get the discounted ferra shoes of a better design for rm800+ as to compare to rm1k+ (for last season's design) in JPO. I'm referring to JPO at that particular time, i.e on 1st Jan 2012. Maybe and hopefully, it'll be more attractive and worthy items offered in the future.
We went down to Desaru beach and stayed at Lotus Beach Resort. I don't really fancy the 2 storey rooms in one apartment unit (like a town-house concept). It means I have to go upstairs to the bedroom. Since it was a 'terjah' check-in, no survey, no booking, so I guess, I can't complain much.
It was a monsoon season, with strong sea waves and high tides, so no swimming, not jet-skiing or banana boating but just relaxing by the beach. Swimming activities for Akid were restricted inside the hotel's swimming pool.

| One of the scene in Ombak Rindu |
So much heard about the movie 'Ombak Rindu', Jo, Lida and I went to watch it in Klcc. It was a day after I arrived Kl. (hmmm mcm semangat plak) Well, it's not a bad movie even the storyline is so cliche. When my hubby asked, why it's so over-rated?? My answer was because it's a Pretty Woman's malay version ;p
It was about a son of a rich family met a naive kampung girl whom was sold as a prostitute. He married the girl when pleaded by her, but her status was more like his 'mistress'. The marriage, apparently did not get his high class mother's consent. Obviously because of their different status and that guy was engaged to a girl of his mother's choice, a famous artist. The love developed between the hero and the kampung girl when they spent a lot of time together bla bla... Sorry, not my intention to write the movie synopsis but I want to explain the cliche. A rich handsome man marries a poor naive girl with beauty and had a hard time with his rich mother and not to forget the competitor's character, or a triangle love of another attractive, glamorous and so-called high class city girl.
However, I think the success of that movie was contributed by it's strong team of both main and supporting actors and actresses and its beautiful cinematography which kind of making the movie alive. Honestly, I was a bit bored with it's slow pace especially when the same song was repeated again and again. I heard most of viewers think it's a great song. My galfrens like the song. They immediately googled for that song while we were having drinks right after the movie;) Personally, I thinks the movie theme song is just so-so.
