Well this is a story on the 19th November 2011
I woke up early this morning. It was around 6.30am when I woke up. Well the reason I woke up this early on weekends is because I'm going back to my kampung a Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar to attend a wedding on my mom side. But that wasn't the things that making this trip special. The things that making this trip awesome is because after 3 years I stuck here in Kuala Lumpur, this is the first time after a very long time I went back there. We start our journey by gather at my aunt's house in Melawati where from there, my mom's sibling (women only) will go on the trip. No men neither kids except one of my cousin. So before we start the journey, we had a breakfast there at my aunt's house. We had the most popular well-known Malaysian breakfast, Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai with Teh 'O'. After we finish having our breakfast, we start our journey from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Kangsar at around 9.30am. There were 5 of us including my small cousin. We ride on my aunt's Estima. The journey start from the DUKE Highway to Jalan Duta to the North-South Highway which will take approximately 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes (speeding) or 3 hours (normal speed) at the most.. Well its my aunt the one who drive and she drive it on a very relaxing way while chit chatting with my mom so we arrived at my mum's elder sister house around 12.30pm.. Once we got there, we start wrapping gift for the bride and groom. Later on, we start getting ready for the wedding by wearing the Baju Kurung and make-up and preparing with all those girls things to attend the wedding at Tanah Merah, Beluru. Well to be exact it is like half an hour to 45 minutes drive from my mom's sister house. After we had the food there and took some pictures with the bride and groom we then start the epic journey. haha Epic..!!
Here is when the EPIC JOURNEY begin. From the wedding place, we went to look for the famous Popia Basah and Laksa Asam. We go at the place which supposed to sell the Popia near the old Railway Station but it was closed so we try our luck again at Lembah. Well this place is allocated right next to Sungai Perak. But then once we were there it was closed! Too bad for us then we went to the second place to look for the Laksa Asam but eventually we are in such a bad luck and we find out that the place have already moved to a new place. Since we are so tired and freaking hot on that day so we just went back to the town of this Royal Town to get the Laksa Pak Ngah at Lembah which is also superb..!! (as I'm writing this I can still feel and imagine the taste!!) ... My mom bought a lot of it and pack it so that we can eat it at my grandma house (no one staying there and it is an empty house). Later then we went to a mini supermarket to buy a fresh milk for my small cousin. A while later, we already on our way to the place where my mom and her siblings together with my grandma and grandpa used to live long time ago before all of my mom and her siblings got married and my grandma moved out to here Kuala Lumpur. Since the Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar is not that big, we arrived at the place where my mom used to live and the place where I was born, Kampung Banjir. It is like a real kampung with lots of kampung houses. My mom and aunt were so excited reminiscing all of their old and sweet memories as they grew up here. While me and my cousin just listening and enjoy the feeling and the scenery of the kampung. At last, we arrived there at the house where my mom grew up. It was such an emotional moment for my mom and two aunt as well. We walk around the house, I took some picture as well as I was born there even thought I can't recall a thing about the house but then it is where I was born! At a house No 54, Kampung Banjir, Kuala Kangsar, Perak Darul Ridzuan. Then afterwards, we stop at my grandma house in Taman Anggerik (the empty house). We relax for a while, eat the Laksa we bought, took some shower and it was freaking cool to come out from the shower to the living room as the air-cond was on! We relax, chit chatting and then around 6, we all start to pack up all of our belongings and getting ready to get back to the busiest city in Malaysia which are Kuala Lumpur. We arrived Kuala Lumpur safetly around 9.15pm. And through out the journey coming back I was really enjoying the sunset as the way we go through is full with mountains. So when its the time for sunset, the scenery is enchanted.. After an hour the journey I felt asleep due to tired-ness that have overwhelmed my whole body system. So once I woke up we were already somewhere in Tanjung Malim.
It was the epic and memorable journey to me after a long time! It is really a worth journey going back even thought the main agenda was just to attend the wedding but then we end up having lots and catch up some fun there as well.
Enjoy few pictures that I took using my phone..
