JJCM KB

My trip to Kota Bharu (KB) was really short but full with aktiviti2 makan :D

Right after Chuk's wedding, we checked in at Rayyan Guest House studio apartment. And after zuhur + asar jamak and qasar prayers, I was kidnapped by my good old friend, Dr Shimah for a tea break :D
We went to Selera Cik Siti. Another old friend, Intan @ Isaura Haslina waited for us there :)


Us - Intan, Shim and Yours truly.
It was great to meet them again after all these years!!
Have not met Shim since 1990 kot... and Intan, I have not met since SPM!! :D

Memandangkan masing2 masih kenyang... so we only ordered these... 
Pulut mangga

Fruits!!! Nyummm!!

And of course keropok lekor :D

While we were busy eating, one of the restaurant staff tegur 'Akak bawa kereta Inspira ke? Kereta akak kena pecah!'. Kesian Shim... kereta dia parked kat tepi jalan which is bit sunyi kot... kena pecah. Ada 2 bags were taken from the car... one bag was full with office documents and another one keropok2 that she bought for me (awww... you are too sweet Shim! Love you!!). Intan and I were a bit panicky... tapi Shim cool jer... 'kereta gomen... bukan kereta I', katanya. Nasib baik nothing valueable in those bags... but still! Thanks god, a few days later, Shim messaged us telling she got the bags back! Nothing missing from those bags including the keropoks! Alhamdulillah.... 

Later, while Shim had to go to KB police station, Intan sent me to Rayyan Guest House. Apparently, she also have a studio apartment in the same building as Rayyan Guest House. I followed her to the studio apartment - everything was just the same - the beds, the coffee tables, ect. Intan told me it's a package. A few of her friends also bought one apartment in the same building for investment purpose. I thought it was really worth it! So guys, those who want a good accommodation in KB, call Intan at 012-988-8523 :)

That night, Mr Hubby and I had dinner here... 
Located at Jalan Long Yunus, KB, this place is so famous of their ayam percik and nasi kerabu.

Lotsa Kelantanese delight sold here... 
What's so special about this restaurant is, the ayam and ikan dibakar using arang kayu and their sos percik are de bomb!! Memang sedap!!!

Lepas isi perut, kami ke sini pula... 
The pasar malam here is quite famous... 
Bought this lovely batik here ;)
We also bought some 3quarter trackbottom and faked jerseys for Izzat.
A few kain batik for MIL.


Penat berjalan kat pasar malam Wakaf Che Yeh, kami berhenti cari makan lagi for supper... 
Muhammadi Mosque at night... 

Supper di sini...
It was full house! Kena tunggu meja kosong... huhu!
Located at Jalan Sultanah Zainab, just a few meters from Muhammadi Mosque, this restaurant is so retro! Quite classic and very famous in KB. 
Was told  it has been here since in the 60s! Wow!

My supper... 
Just old school coffee and kaya toast... very classic and yummy!

The next morning, we had breakfast here...
Restoran Kopitiam Kita..
Located at Taman Desa Jaya, Jalan Pengkalan Chepa in KB, this restaurant is apparently quite famous.

Ohhh... by the way it happened to be Mr Hubby's birthday!! Celebrate kat Restoran Kopitiam Kita! haha :D
Happy 46th birthday darling... I love you! *muah!* *muah!*

As expected, the restaurant was full house! Lots of people, but we were lucky to get a table...
Lots of  Kelantan delicacies sold here... 

What fascinate me at this shop is, it has a wall of fame where they put pictures of famous people who came and eat at their restaurant. From far, I can see Maybank's Puan Nora and Dato' Farid's pics on the wall. So, I went to the wall to take this pic...
And to my delight, I noticed a friend picture, my batchmate in TKC, Dr Roszalina Ramli,  Mouth & Maxillofacial Surgery specialist! Wahhh... tumpang bangga Roza!!! You are sooo famous now my friend!!

My breakfast - roti titab!!! Yummilicious!! Sedap banget!!! 5 stars!!!

Birthday boy makn ni... nasi ayam goreng Kak Wok :D

We later went to Pasar Khadijah after breakfast... 
Hey look... it's Dr Aniza in this billboard in front of Pasar Siti Khadijah (the one wearing doctor coat). 
May be you guys noticed the same billboard along the PLUS highway (I saw one in Sg Buloh and one more on my way north!)... but again, the tulisan jawi on the billboard made it extra special :D

Cuci2 mata tenguk batik lagi...haha!
We bought one male batik shirt for FIL and one batik blouse for Izzaty.

Went straight to the airport after shopping in Pasar Khadijah...
Good Bye Kota Bharu! Definitely gonna come again! Tak puas jalan2 cari makan di sini... huhu.

Chuk is hitched! :)

When my good friend, Chukria told me that she is getting married, I was so excited for her and asked hubby to book a flight to Kota Bharu to attend the wedding. Mana boleh miss babe Chuk kawin!!! Wajib pergi tau!!

So excited to be in Kota Bharu! Dah lama tak sampai sini... haha!!

Teruja tenguk tulisan2 jawi kat sini.... kelasss!!! I think ALL signboards ada tulisan jawi!! Hebat!

Sempat singgah sini sattt... sebelum ke kenduri...


Beli batik jubah se... sempat tu.. lol!

We arrived at the kenduri early. Chuk tengah bersiap mekap... was excited to meet these 2 old friends outside Chuk's room! :D

Miza - my junior during University years.


Jija... my virtual IRC friend once-upon-a-time and later my housemate and good friend during my early working years.. zaman bujang la :)

Chuk was finally ready

Pengantin cun!!! I likkeeeeeee :)))
Congratulations Chuk! Am so happy for you!! *muah!*

And her sister, Kak Lina, my super senior in TKC


The bride and groom...


Beautiful bride! :)
Tahniah Chuk!
Semoga bahagia hingga ke jannah.
May Allah bless you always.

Talk about accommodation in Kota Bharu. I would like to recommend Rayyan Guest House which is located in Jalan Hulu Pasar, KB. It's a studio appartment. New place, clean, comfortable and definitely strategic location.

Rayyan Guest House was full, so we were showed to this apartment.

Asterix Leadership program - Pt1

I've been wanting to update on this event. But been so busy lately. Decided to finish up my Greece trip posting first before posting this one ;)

Well, when Dato Hafsah, who is fondly known as Kak Chah among our Asterix family requested for volunteers for the Asterix Leadership program on 12th to 13th November 2015.. I did not volunteer - tak berani nak commit as I know I have to apply leaves if I want to join the volunteer team. Lagi pun I wasn't sure I was 'rajin' enough... haha!

A few days before the program, I had a lunch date with Wewe and jovially told her that 'cuti I banyak lagi!'. A few days after that, she messaged me....
Hahaha... tiada pilihan... join lah. Lagi pun sure fun punya.... so why not! :D

And it was definitely fun!! Rasa macam 16 years old again just like the Asterix girls. We learned, we danced, we do so many things together with the girls.... it was sooo much fun!!!

Enjoy the pic! ;)

Kak Ah launching the Leadership Program 2015.
