Road trip to east coast - Cherating 18.06.2011



Had a wonderful getaway with bambino, moi petite francais bebe, Joanna and iranian gal, Athena (lovely name innit)
Funny when I think sometimes I ended up with people from different continent haha
But yeah life is short so you gotta make it an experience and just go with the flow
Good ones you keep and not so up to your level you just let it drift haha
Well not everyone I met can earned that immediate close friendship but I rather keep the quality ones
It was almost 6 years ago my last trip to Cherating with A and my bro where we stop for a night from Perhentian island on the way back
It was a memorable one!
We stayed at the same place Impiana Beach Resort and the place never changed and still well maintained
The two gals were excited and I was too jumping around itching to go to the beach haha
On the way to the hotel I asked A to stop by to one of the stalls along the road selling keropok losong freshly fried!
Yummy and asked the two gals to try them out :) they liked it

When we checked in our room were huge with living room, dining room and a bedroom with four poster bed
The gentleman has to crash in the living room while 3 of us squeezed nicely on the bed hee hee
We had a nice long verandah but one thing lacking were switch plugs! Had to remove the couch to use the existing one for the lamp shade and out there a tiny lizzie jumping on the floor!
I was shocked and jumped on the dining chair cos it was freaking black eeew eeww!
Lucky our Iranian heroin smashed it with her flip flop and sent it away phew!
Drama haha
We played hop scotch and I was the leading hehe.. in Malay we call it Ting Ting
Funny that we trying to recall back how we played it and since I have two foreigners they played it too in their childhood so we were playing while bantering on the rules of the game LOL!
Basically we went there to celebrate a friend, my former colleague's birthday
The birthday was held in a cool little bar under the hut by the river called Little Bali
They had some sketches titled Pirates of Cherating and it was so entertaining!
Amazing time and the highlight of the trip was I did makan ikan baung (a tiny weenie piece) after I was dared by Joanna
Ewww... seriously I never had any river fish before especially when they look like snakes e.g. ikan patin, keli, haruan ooooh... NO! I maybe exaggerating to you but yeah my family don't eat such fish so there...
Cos the restaurant is famous for it's crispy fried ikan baung and the fish kinda lost it's shaped hehe I tried and it tasted nice.. but tat's it!
Before we left the town we visited the Turtle Sanctuary near Club Med
It's so sad to see the big turtles in a small pool swimming back and forth
They were friendly but I can hear them saying let us OUT and swim freely in the sea but am sure they're protected to a certain age until they let them go :)
We went back after that and slept most of the journey. Poor Mr. A hehe
However, we discovered a nice cooling clear river streaming down from the waterfall by the highway
I googled it and found this link with picchas and location of the place
We will go back there one day to jump in the cool water and have a great picnic!
