Cycling Excursion- Tanjong Piandang,Kuala Kurau and Kuala Gula

Another crazy day yet amazing! This time we cycling around suburban area.

USM engineering campus--Tanjong Piandang--Kuala Kurau--Kuala Gula

Time: 0800 to 2000

Distance travelled: ~~80km

So there was a time, my friend, Vigren said: " lets go to Tanjong Piandang...its like 10km from here. A group of his friend including david (vkuan) agreed and its not that far also. So everyone said ok lets go to the seaside there.

Along the way passed Titi Serong, we were just cycling straight with paddy fields beside us.

Finally, after an hour plus, we reach tanjong piandang. This place is a chinese small town selling alot of dry fish stuffs. It is amazing seeing these. At least for me, i think these dried fish, prawns are cool. How patient the man is arranging them.

Obeying our plan we head to tanjong piandang seaside. It looks nice but sorry vigren no sand for the seaside. Cant go swimming.

We noticed that Kuala kurau is another 10km from here. so we decided to head there since we have plenty of time in the morning. Apparently, my great grand father lives there long time ago.So we decided to go there and see what kind of a fishing village will looked like.

So this is kuala kurau. Nothing much.

That time was noon, and rain was falling. So we hide under a bridge. raindrops keep falling on my head...da da da..

The bridge we hid under was a majestic bridge connecting kuala kurau and kuala gula. After we "consulted" with a kurauan. We been informed that kuala gula might has something special offered. Distance from here its like more than 10km.

After some sorta discussion, we decided to go there as we been so close and prefer not to give up until we satisfied. having no choice, aik soon and Sawadeekap boy "kot" followed us continue to Kuala Gula.

In the middle of the bridge, we stopped and take a break. Looking the fishing village view is indeed very relaxing. I wish to become a one day fisherman. How does it feel like being a fisherman. erm...

Not to describe some crazy longer than we expected journey to kuala gula, we reach there with these 2 coloured small prawn catched my eyes.

It noon is Kuala Kurau before crossing the bridge, and few hours come to kuala gula. we were damn hungry and we, of course have a nice seafood lunch in kuala gula.

Crab bihun, female crabs is served.
Some vege fried with delicious small prawn. ( xia mi)
Nice fish curry.
Qute and mouth watering tiny fried sotong.
Ai Dee restaurant was the place we dined in.

We cycle into the fishing village.

During our way back, we also been told by a Gulan that we should not missed their " theme park"--The Hua Sheng Palace.

It is like a theme temple. Lots of tourists there. I found a cave and i start meditating for 10 seconds.
Guess whats the theme. heaven and hell. You will have to walk along a corridor, then we reach a junction. Go upstairs see whats heaven and down stairs see whats hell. heaven seems boring with a little stuffs, but hell seems exotic. din take down some pictures because it is quite dark inside. check it out if you interested.
As for me, it is so so. Nothing much exciting but having a temple in an Indian estate is kinda unexpected. if you were in somewhere kuala gula, go there and have a look. admission is free though.
On my way back.

Looks like second round of raining is coming. we actually see the rain approaching us.
we stopped by a restaurant and have a plate of He Ko. It is a kind of shrimp.

Before we went back home, we stopped by sungai kota, our engine lab technician, En Zalmi's kampung. His brother is having a wedding.

Lastly, i have nothing to expressed except by flattened butt after 10++ hours of cycling.

Nah, I do things with reasons. This bicycle trip was been the most special one. I experienced sunny, rainy, muddy, and night cycling in a day. where else can you get? Is this the good of having a campus nearby suburban and urban and state border? You know it. I got it.
