Travel for Work at Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu - 11 - 13 May 2008

This was a particularly difficult trip for me.. For one, I had to wake up early (5.30am early enough??? That's the time some people crawl back home after a night's partying, man!) on a Sunday morning to catch my flight, work will take me away for almost a week and...

my beloved ChaCha had just died the day before...

Anyway, early morning flight on Sunday, 11 May to Kuala Terengganu.. nice 'nasi dagang' breakfast upon arrival at KT and it was off to work, man..!

We stayed at the Terengganu Equestrian Resort. My roomie this time was Jasmin and we had a nice spacious room.. not that we had much time to enjoy it!

The room by daylight and.. the 'mood' lighting at night. Alas... did I mention my roomie was Jasmin??

The day was long and we pretty much came back after dinner, had our showers and crashed.. or at least I did! Had to wake up early (again!) the next day.


Pretty banana flowers..

The next day, fortunately, we were done by 2-ish. We just headed back to the room and crashed but less than 1/2 an hour later we got a phone call telling us to move to another room. Why? Hmm.. good question - I was too tired at the time to ask who asked us to move or why! And, by the time I remembered to ask, it didn't matter any more!!! All I knew at the time we had to move was the faster we moved and settled into our new room, the faster we could go to sleep!!
The main building where we moved to was weird - it didn't have a lift! And, yes, the very tired 2 gals had to lug their almost a weeks worth of stuff up the stairs! Fortunately, we were just 1 floor up.. phew! No pix of the room.. too tired la..

The room was considerably smaller but it had a much nicer view..

We left for the airport on the morning of Tuesday, 13 May. We were lucky to have a nice cabbie who stopped for us to take pix of the various mosques.

After all the snapping, we were finally off to the airport (for real) for our flight back to KL but we'd only be in transit at KLIA for about 2+ hours 'coz then we continue on to.... PENANG!!!
