I went to Kukup for the first, and most probably the LAST time, on 26-27th Sep 09.
Went with dar and his family. HUGE family... still? There was some who didn't join us on the trip. So you can imagine how huge his family is la.
Day 1: We met up at Lakeside MRT at 7am. I reached at 6:45am. And then we took the train to Yew Tee MRT to meet up with the rest for breakfast before boarding the bus. We started moving off only at 8:30am.
Dar's cousins. Ah Jon (sitting beside him) and Yao He (Green). The one in red is their aunt.
His brothers. Yao Yu (orange) and Hui Yin (yellow).
Off we went towards the checkpoint
After customs, it was about 1h 30mins ride to Kukup. So we became bored.
I've never taken a 44-seater bus up to M'sia before. I think it's too cramp. The last 2 times I went up to M'sia was via a max 22-seater. TransStar! Rocks! We had individual seats.
So as mentioned, we became bored, so we got the Tour Guide to play BINGO with us. The uncle in front of me won. And then dar's daddy won too! We split the prize money to $80 $40. First prize: $80 and Second prize: $40.
Some of his family members
And the smell!!! To a certain extend it was unbearable. The whole place is a fishing village, so of cos the whole place will smell fishy! May Jie would definitely not be able to tahan the place! Really... Smells like belachan wherever you walk... And a pinch of Chinchalok...!
This is the colour of the water there.. Murky... ain't it?!
We took this boat out to sea to some of the Kelongs nearby and we saw some fishes that the Kelongs reared.
1st stop: This Chinese restaurant where we stopped for lunch
And now comes the best part. Dar went to the toilet halfway while eating. And when he came back, he shared with everyone that the toilet has a nice toilet bowl, with the hole leading all the way DOWN... into the SEA! And and and... we're eating the seafood! Woohoo...
Enough about it... it's making me sick...
This is our room, it can fit 8 pax. So both dar and I took the lower bed on the left.
The 'balcony' so to say...
The extended 'living room' cum KTV corner.
The inside living room cum Mahjong corner.
And this is the best part... while we were settling down, the xiao di came over to start selling his 'goods'. In total, I think we spent SGD$500 on fireworks combined?!
Just next to us is a place that's dealing with fishes too... and at night, you can smell the strong smell of 'hei bi' = small shrimps... woohoo! The smell was 'wonderful'... Belachan!
The streets near our chalet
We walked around cos the adults were playing Mahjong, so as kids, we starting roaming the whole place. This was our last shop we visited. We bought coconuts for the adults. And coconut pudding for us kids. DAMN NICE!
You know why the coconut pudding is damn nice??
Muahaha... I saw this at the side of the counter... and there's more where that came from!
Anyway, on a serious note, the pathway leading to our chalet area is about the width of a bus. You walk one side, and the other side is mainly for bikes/bicycles. It's really damn narrow. Some of the houses are on stilts too!
The houses are on stilts and what's below them is like mud cum dirt cum rubbish cum sea water cum TOILET 'stuff' and everything you can think of under the sun! So you can imagine what happens when you drop inside! Mudskippers will greet you!
Can't deny that the sunset is really damn nice... soothes your nerves when you look into the horizon!
Oh, and it was 2 of dar's auntie's birthday!
DINNER TIME!
This is like the best chicken wing I've ever tasted! SERIOUSLY DAMN NICE! You can tell from how fattening this looks!
And after dinner comes the best part, cos it's already night time!
Woohoo! This came from another persons place.
I played with this rocket.
You can see that the box on the right is bigger than the one of the left. It's more expensive too. And there's 138 shots!
(Ignore the music in the background! It's irritating!)
After playing with fireworks, we had this jelly. This is quite famous in Kukup. It's coconut flavoured jelly with different fillings. Damn nice. RM6.50.
We played cards in the room before sleeping.
Day 2:
This is the whole family who was there. Fun bunch of people. Laughed a lot during these 2 days.
Went to this place for lunch before heading back to SG.
And after lunch, SHOPPING!!!
We dropped by Jusco before heading back to SG and we spotted Stonegrill there! Wootz. Damn bloody cheap man!
my food... RM20++?
dar's food
And look what we saw?! Woohoo... but by then no time already... had to head back to the bus...
Darn!
So that kinda concludes the whole trip. There's loads of vids of the fireworks though. But I've uploaded only 1 la. The rest are with me.
Boring~! Watching movies online now...
To do: Neaten eyebrows, eat lunch, slack, watch movies online
