Took me a while to have this post written with effort. Don't wanna do a half done post now do I? Been rather busy again lately, sem just started again and I swear this is probably one of the most annoying sem. Just thinking about college makes me sick, for real, it makes me feel sick in the gut. Its the short sem, its suppose to be fast and quick, but staying in class now really feels like forever, especially when you're loathing the lecturer big time. What is wrong with lecturers in uni that treats their students like primary school student?!!! Excuse me, we've got our fair share of primary school years, and not to mention high school years, so please treat us like adults and stop spoon feeding us this way, it really annoys me. You tell me, which lecturer in uni says things like, "You two, sit in front of class then you'll concentrate more". Dude, I had that in kindergarten. Or, "promise me you'll attend every class"!!! Hello, please... Don't treat us like children. It great part about sitting in Dr. Goh/Dr. Hera/Ms. Winnee (and some other few) classes is knowing and understanding "If you die, its your business". Really this way, we're actually wanting to come to class because we're given the responsibility to, it is a whole different feeling of responsibility, not out of obligation. Sigh, some lecturers should just learn. Psychology Help Department is soooo lucky to have Dr. Goh, Dr. Hera, Ms. Winnee, Mr. Kenneth, Dr. Eugene, Mr. Alex (and probably a few more), cause depending on the rest would be a disaster.
This was suppose to be a happy post, ended up going totally off track and ranting over stressful issues. Anyways, second day in Cherating. Really, its only the second week of class, I think I need another break already. Another weekend runaway would be good. If only we had the money, haha.
So, we woke up later than expected that morning. Was suppose to wake at 7 to go to the beach, but because we slept pretty late, we couldn't really wake up. Eva was up early though, and I remember her saying "YOU GUYS.......... wake up!!!"
After taking a while to get ready and headed out for breakfast
Yes, we drove to Terengganu, took a fast snap shot at the borderline. We really wanted to try the Hai Peng Coffee Shop. Really, at first I didn't know what so great about it but they insisted to go there, and I was hungry, so anything food at that time would be a delight. Then one by one, everyone started tweeting me and said "OHHHH MUST GO HAI PENG". So, I guess its one of the MUST stop place when you come to this part of the country. Yum yum..
Hai Peng Coffee Shop
Its a building on its own, and its crowded inside. I guess its the best place to have breakfasts for the locals.
Forgive my lack of knowledge for the kuih's name, do correct/tell me.
If i'm not wrong, there are two different types of kuih that looks like this. One of it has the water chessnut in it and the other have a white and green layer in it (somewhat like kuih talam, my fav). Tried all the kuih there, some was good, some was alright, some....... haha I just personally didn't like it. This however, was so so. Edible la. I wasn't gonna spit it out, but I've tasted better.
THISSS... was awesome (what is it called?)
I tasted like ondeh ondeh just without the brown sugar inside, but still sweet and chewy. I loved it. Had a few sticks and enjoyed it very much. Should have brought some home with me. I haven't seen kuih like this in KL, but if I were to see it anywhere, I will try it. Lets just hope it will taste as nice as the one in Hai Peng.
This tasted... horrible, not so nice.
Look at the way they wrapped it up. Looks so pretty right. Looks are deceiving!!!
I think the wrapping is just so pretty. The leaves they used are from the Rubber Plant (Pokok Getah), dont worry, no rubbery taste or smell.
Leaf looks big and all, but the kuih inside is really small. Its actually Pulut inside. Fermented Rice.
Whoa, I really mean fermented rice cause it tasted like it was soaked into alcohol for days!!! And it wasn't chewy, it tasted like I was eating alcohol soaked fabric. This, I feel like spitting out. hahahaha, Never trying this again.
Cham C' Kopi with the oh so famous bun
I'll admit that the bun was really good. Second best bun I've tasted
Vietnamese Coffee
FLIESSSS
No idea why I took it. Was probably trying to take an awesome picture of the fly's details and pretending I was some professional insect photographer. hahaha, allow me to bask in my pretend glory.
Jovi enjoying his bun
Edwin evaluating his bun
Eva, where's your bun?
So apparently, Hai Peng makes their own coffee. When I say make their own coffee, meaning they have their own beans. Pretty good huh. Their coffee was good, I personally like coffee that isn't so strong (bitter), I prefer something cream base like Irish Latte, Caramel Latte... basically.. Latte. More cream the better for me.
Old school radio yo!
Headed back to the resort after breakfast. And headed straight to the beautiful relaxing gorgeous mind floating paradise beach. Ok, thats maybe a little too much, but you get the picture. The beaches in Aussie are way better. Yet to step foot in Hawaii to know what real paradise is, just wait, one day I shall!
My retarded smile
Remember I said that the water was so clear we could see the little fish swimming around?
Well, Jovi was trying to catch them, hahahaha. or those hermit crabs.

Edwin caught this. I hate them, crawly creatures are damn scary! Could probably crawl into your ear and eat your brains inside out!
More and more

Edwin was catching too. hahaha, it was pretty fun watching them hunt for small little creatures like this.
I remember when I was younger, my parents would bury me in the sand and I would get stuck there for a really long time. Feel pretty good actually. So living my childhood again, Edwin shall be the victim.
It wasn't easy ok. I didn't have a hole prepared, so I have to dig with my fingers.
Meanwhile...
Eva taking shots
Jovi got lazy
Edwin was suffering with skin burning sand

Tried making a mermaid shape, but I was too tired!

So as we were leaving, we saw this HUGE ASS monitor lizard on the floor.. with the guts and intestines all smashed out through its MOUTH!!! Ewwwww, flies were all over it, and I didn't dare breathe in cause I think I would have puked or at least gagged if I did. Ewwwww
Everyone deserves a short holiday once in a while
