Trip to Jitra

Jitra is CC's hometown, well, we had nothing better to do... so off we went to Jitra! CC wanted to take us to Duty Free shopping, Lai Huat Garden, Boating and lastly a nice yummy Thai Dinner!!!




ST and Evian picked me and TT up. TT was all dressed up to play at the waterfall, all of us were wondering where she got that idea of "waterfall" from...

Anyway, we reached Jitra about 11.30am and then CC took us to teh Bukit Kayu Itam Duty free. There's a long queue for cars, so CC suggested we walked. Errr... as it has been drizzling, there were puddles of water everywhere! TT has dirt all over her legs.. Poor girl, as she was the only one with jap slippers and shorts! We bought lots of keropok back! And i do mean Lots here, till the makcik that sells us stuff got confused!

After buying all the keropoks, we were hungry. CC didn't know where to take us to eat in Changloon.. Err.. we went to this restaurant in a shopping complex.. and err.. CC ordered Fried Rice, that was edible, i ordered Fried Udon, edible too, ST order fish and chips, you can't go wrong with that i suppose and TT ordered special HK noodle.. err, which taste horrible. Everyone tried 1 noodle, and that's about what everyone could stomached! Yup, it was that horrible!

On the way, we went to buy pomelos... It's is somthing like Ipoh ones in the old days.. Only difference is that for the Ipoh ones, you get Leng Lui lining the road, Errr.. In kedah, all the Makciks and Pakciks manned the shop... Of course, we bargained again till the Makcik was also confused.

Err, We went to Lai Huat Garden after taht, as it was raining, all of us didn't want to pay RM10 entrance fee! So, we wandered off, hopping to do some boating. We soon arrive to the lake (man made???) err... but eveything was close! No boating can be done so we just took some pics and left...



As TT was hungry, we then went to Ah John Kopitiam (Quite similar to Old Town Kopitiam), we ordered kopi and different types of bread while we played Big Two and deciding where to go next! Botak keeps suggesting Lai Huat Garden.. It will go like this" where you guys want to go next?, Option A: Lai Huat, Option B Lai Huat, Option C: Lai Huat!" Haha...
Anyway, since non of us wnated to move, and then finally ST suggested to see some Siamese Temple, he agreed. We went to one river ( apparently is it not a river, but a manmade irrigation Channel) by the river. Quite an impressive temple actually... Next we went off to see the famous keday paddy fields. Oh ya, on way, we met lots of Lembu's, Goats and even sheeps... No wonder we call Kedah drivers -Kedah-Gu!


Well, our last stop was of course our dinner! It was yummy! Botak was right... The Dinner was indeed splendid!
