Be aware of AES!

When we send our brother and sister to LCCT airport, we decided to drive to KLCC. On our way backed from KLIA or LCCT, passing through the toll plaza, the road sign clearly indicated KLCC sign on the right hand side, and we decided gave it a try instead of the left hand road which we are normally used.

In the half way, we lose the sign of KLCC and the sign board showed us Seremban. OMG! We are so frustrated and thinking where does this road bring us to? Is there any U-turn available? Then only we realized this road brought us to the Nilai exit which is more further from another road. 

Yes, this is Nilai Utara exit, where when you turn out from the road you can see the memorial park. Then you will continue back to the North-South Express highway. When we passed by the Nilai/ Bangi area, we saw the light flashing from the road side although we only drove 100km/j. Firstly, we thought the Automated Enforcement System (AES) was not flashing at us, but only later we realized the speed at this road is 90km/j.  

I don't understand why 90km/j was instilled in the highway? I still can remember well on one of the radio advertisement mentioned that the changing speed in the highway make people very tension and it encourage us to drink a cup of the "brand" coffee to wake up and noticed it! So creative. How can we not be so tension, if the road sign can be improved! Really hope Malaysia can improve it especially for its tourism business.   

Kuantan, Malaysia

It has been some months I didn't update my blog, therefore, this Chinese New Year I decided to pay a visit to Kuantan when I followed my husband back to his hometown in Gambang. Gambang is located  approximate of 40 minutes drive away from Kuantan city, the most famous tourism spot in Gambang will be the Bukit Gambang Resort.

If you are planning to visit other state in Malaysia during Chinese New Year, please avoid Chinese New Year or Hari Raya eve for traveling, cause most of us (all races) will back to hometown at the same time and the traffic is heavy. 

When we think of Kuantan, normally we will link to the beaches and sunrise where in the west of Peninsular Malaysia we seldom  have the chance to see it. But recently, when we mentioned about Kuantan, we will think of "Stop  Lynas, save Malaysia" campaign. According to news, there is an airborne monitoring system (AMS) installed at the district police station to gauge the radiation level in Kuantan town. But unfortunately, I didn't pay attention when I passed by the town.

Teluk Cempedak is the most popular tourism attraction in Kuantan, and it is located 5 km east from the town. It is facing the South China Sea and due to raining the water sport activities are not allowed during our visit. If not, you can enjoy swimming, surfing, sun-bathing, sailing and jet skiing. Besides, you also can enjoying jungle trekking and observe the rainforest of Malaysia, or enjoying local or fast foods with sea breeze. 

Not to forget your cup of local coffee either in Kemaman Kopitiam or Hai Peng Kopitiam before you leave Kuantan. Due to holiday season, Hai Peng Kopitiam is closed. We managed to drop by the Kemaman kopitiam for a cup of Kemaman white coffee and stuff crab. It was enjoyable.
