Travel log: Kemamang

I was in Kemaman from Monday til yesterday (Wednesday), attending the E.C.er seminar organised by one public sector organisation.

Personally, I was really disappointed with the organizer/seminar as they were not attentive enough to invite relevant speakers for each industry specific session that they had determined. I mean, how can they invite the head of business development of the national airline carrier cargo company to talk about the maritime industry? Seriously??? Even the speaker himself was shocked when he received the invitation, but he came anyway. And the topics discussed was mostly unresearched topics that should have not been discussed as it is not possible to be implemented in the east coast region. Macam mana laa orang gomen organise seminar nieh. It was a waste of my precious 3 days! Dah laa PM yang opened the ceremony pun gave a long-winded speech that nearly put everyone to sleep... I was surprised that he was not reading any script during his speech.. Padan laa panjang berjela...!

Well, the trip was not a waste entirely laa.

The trip itself was OK. I got to stay at the Awana Kijal Hotel (my 2nd time there) and got to enjoy a brief one-hour javanese massage after the long day at the seminar.

Furthermore, I got to finally taste the famous Tong Juan stuffed crabs. OoOOOoooo... it was really really good. I even tapau'ed it back for Mr Judge and siblings back home.

Then, when we went to purchase the keropok lekor at one of the local shops, we were served piping hot cengkodok-like keropok lekor (basically, it is the lekor bater without the excessive flour and before it is formed into the long snake-like shape). Perghh... memang lazat sehingga menjilat jari... Dah laa free! And the makcik even asked us to "take and go" (prounce it in a terengganu dialect).. Basically she had asked us to "take away" laaa. hahahaha.....

I did not realise that the journey to Kemaman only takes 3 hours (well if you were to drive at the speed of 180 km/hr on the highway la). If that is the case, lepas nieh selalu sokmo laaa I pegi Kemaman... Syok jugak...




binx: next stop - penang!
