This time is my first time going far away alone from home exclude Sabah, where did i head to??? Hmm…its Johor, the south part of Peninsular Malaysia. This time i went to Johor was on behalf of the invitation from my coursemate- Kok How, who just went back from Penang to his hometown at Kluang,Johor who keep inviting me over and over… so i just made up my mind going down find him^^ So the main place i went was Kluang which is a small district in Johor and also i went up some places like Ayer Hitam, Yong Peng, JB, Senai, Skudai. Everything began very well until i felt my buttocks kinda pain due to the damn-long-hour bus journey from B’worth to Johor… So, my schedule was mainly arranged like this:-
~1st Day~
645am Reached a place called Ayer Hitam, half an hour away from Kluang swt…
715am Reached Kluang bus terminal by taking taxi which was paid by the bus driver.
830am Meet up Kok How and had our breakfast at Coffee Rail for breakfast, which is famous for its “Roti Peng (Roti Bakar)” and i like the nasi lemak LOLz…
900am Went to Kok How’s house get a good rest~
1100am Go down to JB and passed Kulai, Senai, for almost an hour…swt~ finally City Square would be our stopping point. Had a good walk there and saw…huge, enormous, conceptual building- Malaysia immigration xxx i think lolz…

~3rd Day~
Aiks regarding 3rd day, I couldnt remember much though LOLz… but something really interesting was the bicycle ride around the “dragon fruit” orchard. It was fun seeing those plants in the orchard and we just rode around it, a great feeling, though we had to paddle hard since the road was kinda steep. Anyway then I took bus again, start my journey again going back to Penang.
Indeed, it was fun then joining friends out there, I saw many things, the cultures, people, behaviour, style, way of communicating in the northern region. Although the place was more or less the same comparing to KL and Sabah, but something flashes my mind, firstly, i knew that there are no so called “far” from a place to another in Penang comparing to Johor. Secondly, I still conclude that Penang food still the best although northern region still have good foods. Thirdly, Penang hawkers centre is one of the safe place to had a meal, you wont worry much about anything but just eat and chit chat there as long as you like.
I got an advice, if you wish to travel, do travel the states in M’sia before going overseas if you cant afford much, Im sure you can gain some outstanding experience, maybe hardly to get a leisure experience but you can feel the way you are and get to know what is what in you, and also… think differently the way you are…
thats all, have a pleasant day^^
