Finally, updating on our trip to Awana Kijal. Gonna talk less but show you more pictures. Afterall, picture speaks a thousand words. ;)
9:30am - Gathered at BP station before the Gombak toll.
Yakking away while waiting for the rest of the boys to arrive. Took off from there at about 10am.
Stopped at one of the R&R for lunch. Not sure which stop. I was watching video all the way. Chasing some silly canton tvb comedies.
It was still too early to eat for me though it was already 11ish then. Must be the weather. Gloomy & dark. Felt like morning. Had only a glass of teh tarik instead.***
Arrived in Chukai about 12noon like that. Popped by at Tong Juan (the stuffed crab restaurant) to rsvp for that night's dinner before heading over to the resort.

From there, it should only take about 20 minutes to Kijal. However, for us, with GPS (not us, the leading car), it took us more than an hour (I finished one and a half episodes) and still end up in a nowhere. It was hillarious. It directed us to some isolated place and informed us that we have reached our destination. Wtf? Totally unbelievable. Modern technology konon. All of us had a good laugh standing by the road.
Finally arrived about 1ish. At the reception, was informed that our's was a twin-sharing room. Requested for a change. They swapped us a double-sharing. One look at the room sent us back to the reception again requesting for a re-swap, back to the original booking; i.e. the twin-sharing one. Why? Cause the double sharing room has a bath tub smacked at a corner, in the room. Not in the separate bathroom but in the room itself. And the room is much smaller than the above picture. Can you imagine? I find it really weird and annoying.***
Took a nap after we settled down in our re-swapped room. Woke up one and a half hour later feeling hungry. Head out to some shops nearby for a quick bite.
Yucky mee goreng mamak.
An au natural bus stand made out of trees opposite the food stall. ;)
Back at the hotel, passing by the spa, asked the husband to ascertain if that is a mirror or a walkway. The verdict, a walkway apparently (husband: "ah! no reflection!). It certainly looked like a mirror to me. :p
Went to the beach and the red flag is up. Long meaning, high wave, strong undercurrent, strictly no swimming, swim at own risk. Short meaning, swim if you wanna die :p The wind were so strong. The flag were tattered at the edges by it.
The boys went in despite warning and had a great time diving into the waves. We joined in later. Oh boy, the wave is really strong. No way going in just bikini alone. It can be easily swept off by the waves. Wore a t-shirt over it. I've to hold on to my bikini bottom whenever the waves hit. Lols... ham sap waves. Lols... Nevertheless, it was fun. Good waves for beginner surfing though.
That night, we went dinner at Tong Juan.
As usual, had stuffed crabs. Personally, I felt their standard jatuh a bit that night. It didnt taste as good as it used to. In fact, a little oily too.
Had many other dishes besides the stuffed crab. Like any other typical chinese dishes.
One of the very few picture of us.
A surprise birthday celebration for May (the workshop ladyboss). Note the extra huge candle. The cake buyer forgot to request for candles from the cake house. Bought from some shops nearby instead. This is the smallest they can find. :p***
We had a great dinner that night.
Awana Kijal at night.***
Back at the hotel, we continued with the next session. Gathered at a corner in the hotel, tokkok, sing song, yumseng & laughed till our jaw sore before calling it a night. There are photos. But they are mostly of men with one big pack abs (instead of 6 packs). I thought better not torture you guys with it. Hahahaha.......
