what the hell does the title of my entry means? these are names of the places i'll be going this time round in malaysia. not the usual touristy places, but small towns and kampong my relatives in malaysia live in.
kepong (pronounced Kup-Pong),a small little town about 3.5 hours bus ride (including taking 170 from Kranji and a change of bus at Pagoh) from Singapore. this little town has the best durians i have ever tasted in my life...and i get them for free because my relative owns the plantation!ahahaha!!!BUT, too bad all the durians have all dropped and been sold. sighz. but still, my relative's place is right in front of the river that runs through the town. beautiful eh!!
Tangkak, another small town about 2.5 hours bus ride from Singapore. Not as ulu as Kepong, it's a town with tonnes of shops selling cloth. I go there for the yummiest bak kut teh and wantan mee. *drooling* BUT due to time constraints this time round, may not have the chance to eat. sighz. four of my aunts live in tangkak, so my mummy would be spending lotsa time there chatting and chatting and chatting....
Chup Kee Bua (translated into 10 and a half miles) is a kampong about 20 minutes drive from Tangkak. The name of the kampong is because it's 10.5 miles away from Muar(a larger town boasting of horrific traffic conditions and lotsa shoppping centers...)My mum (Mdm Yap)was from this kampong. The Yap family dominates this kampong, so many of my older relatives still stay there. when i was younger,this is a really fascinating place.kids run around half naked, playing in the dirt and climbing trees to pluck rambutans. but now, technology has invaded this little town...kids nowadays watch cartoons on tv instead. sadness...
so so,a little intro to the places i would be at for the next 4 days.
Opps...better go bathe before my mummy comes screaming into my ear.
Tata!
