DAY 1: Kuala Pilah & Senawang

Our car starts moving and suddenly, we see a group of kids who squat and walk (jalan itik) in the really hot blazing afternoon. Oh my god, we pity them so much. They are actually being punished by their ustaz because of only-god-knows-why. Haha. But seriously, poor kids :(


This is their ustaz who is watching them from afar. So scary, don’t you think? -___-“

Anyway, this is Makam Seri Diraja where the previous sultan is placed. We cannot enter this premise because it is locked. So, we only manage to snap a picture of this building. 
 
The weather is just so hot. We’re literally burning and sweating like a pig. Haha. So, we decide to check-in to the hotel, Desa Inn which is located in Kuala Pilah. The receptionist is so nice to put our rooms side by side. The rate for the room is quite reasonable. Us girls share a room with 3 single size beds and it is only RM83 per night. While Fadzil the only guy takes a room of queen size bed all by himself and it costs him RM60. So cheap, right? And the rooms are so comfortable. The toilet too (that is the most important part). 


And this is our room! :D
Mind you, the messy bed belongs to Amiza :P Haha. 

         By the time we reach the hotel it is already lunch hour. And we’re starving. So, Fadzil takes us to Restoran Seri Menanti which serves us the traditional dishes of Negeri Sembilan. Can you guess it, people? Yes, masak lemak cili api! We have daging salai masak lemak cili api, ikan keli bakar masak lemak cili api and of course many types of sambal belacan. Yumms! Can we eat first, our fellow readers? Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim. 
Our lunch! (from left-right, top-bottom: Amiza’s, Aisyah’s, Liyana’s, Fadzil’s)
Fadzil is the only one who uses fork and spoon to eat while us girls use our hands (poyo je). Haha. Alhamdulillah we are grateful and so full! :D We are so sleepy now. Can we continue writing this blog later? Haha. Okay, no. We’re kidding. So, after we’re done with our lunch, we decide to go back to hotel to freshen up ourselves. Because around 5 p.m, we are going to stroll around Senawang. Weee! :)
       At 5 p.m sharp, we start our second phase of this trip to Senawang town. On our way there, we see a shop selling scale. It is quite old and it fascinates Aisyah. We can never find such shop in Kuala Lumpur. You don’t believe us? Nah, this is the picture

Accompanied by The Wanted’s song, Glad You Came, our car speed so fast to our next destination. We talk and talk and talk until we arrive there. Senawang is quite a new town. They have Giant, McDonalds and many shop lots here. We park our car near the Dataran Senawang and we walk relaxingly. The weather is windy and lovely :) When we are at a new place, of course we will see so many strange and odd things that we will never see in our place (Kuala Lumpur). Hence, camera is always on Amiza’s hand. Who knows we might encounter interesting things ;) Always in standby mode. When we see it, we’ll just click the camera! Hehe. Oh, we think we see something that fascinates Fadzil. Do you want to know what the thing is? Do you? Do you? Haha. Okay, here it is!
A bunch of phone numbers! This shop sells hand phones and phone numbers. So, they display all the available numbers in front of their shop. And Fadzil suddenly stops in front of the advertisement. We think he wants to buy a new number. So we just follow him. But then, he just stares and.. stares again. Well, he is amaze with all the numbers, not wanting to buy the number. So yeah, this is what fascinates Fadzil :)  So funny la this guy -___-“
Beside the hand phone shop, there is a mamak. Come on, you are not Malaysian if you don’t know what mamak is :P But hey, we sense something different of this mamak. Something that you can never find in Kuala Lumpur. 
From left to right; tosai sayur special, tosai carrot special, tosai tomato special, tosai sayur special
Can we say, ermm, euwww? -__-“ The combination is just weird. And they look unpleasant. Haha. We don’t think we can eat those tosai. How about you guys? :P If you are interested, do visit Senawang. Haha.
There is a bazaar along the way. They sell all kind of things. Clothes, scarves, phone accessories and many more. It is like a night market, except that they don’t sell food. It is more to accessories :) 

DAY 1: Giant Senawang





For the sake of waiting for the Fun Fair to start its operation, we walk into Giant Hypermarket nearby the Dataran Senawang. In a fun trip like this, even Giant can be an interesting place to visit you know! DO NOT ask what we are doing inside the hypermarket; just take note that it was fun :) By the way, the Arapaima above is super gigantic in size, about 180kg and approximately, around 3.5 times heavier tha n us! Wow! Before leaving the place as it is about to rain, Amiza treats each of us with ice cream as a symbol of friendship… hmm how sweet she is.
