(Quality) Time Out Part I

We were at the beach the other day.

Watched sunrise. Walked on the beach. Took (funny and interesting) photos.

Had nasi kandar lunch at our favorite place (more people here compared to the last time we came).

Dinner at Luqman's old haunts. He swears by the sup kambing or any soup, come to think of it - at this place (Padang Brown, belakang balai polis Datuk Keramat). Cicah dengan roti benggali.

Went for late dinner at Nasi Kandar Beratur (seriously long queue if you are late. Parking a nightmare too). We now think it tastes better than Line Clear.

Wondered if we have the courage to cruise on a huge liner like this (the boys insisted I take Titanic the movie much too seriously).

Took the scenic route via ferry heading home.

(Of course other things happened too. Like the car battery ran dry because the alarm went on for hours and no one called to tell us so as we didnt leave the car registration number at the front desk - thank goodness for ultra-macho men who carry jump-cable wherever they may be. Or like when we drove across the island to get to the so called best tomyam in town but the place was closed for renovation. Or like how we got stuck in the traffic jam every time we leave and return to our hotel. Or that the congestion could be largely due the fact that it is celebration time on the island - we saw lots of coconuts on the sidewalks ready for the fête. Or that we drove in the 'bad-dest' traffic ever to Bukit Bendera only to turn back again when we got there because the ticket booth / train queue was unbelievably, crazily long.)
