Lama tak bercerita
wah wah wah....lama bebeno aku tak buat apa-apa kat blog aku ni. Kesian....dah hujung-hujung tahun ni...memang banyak kerja kena buat. Nak tanda folio budak, kena isi macam-macam borang, kena siapkan pelan tindakan, pelan operasi...banyak lagi la. Itu belum lagi masuk tanda buku budak. Memang rasa semput...nak bernafas pun rasa tersekat-sekat. Ni pun baru balik dari MSKPP. Sukan untuk guru-guru. Aku masuk game volleyball. Memang teruk la kena belasah. tak dapat nombor pun. Takpe la...team aku ni baru je belajar pukul bola, insyaAllah 2 tahun lagi boleh la tersenarai dalam ranking top 5....hehehehh....so menjelang 2010 ni aku kena buat pelan tindakan untuk team ni. Hidup ni kena ada perancangan...baru hidup akan lagi lebih bermakna. Doakan la kejayaan team aku ni ye. Baru-baru ni aku dapat slip PTK...teruk betul result kali ni. Dulu dapat 3....kali ni turun 2 la pulak.Ni gara-gara terlebih aktiviti luar la ni. Apa-apa pun aku kena la bersyukur dengan markah yang aku dapat. Tahniah buat Nina....1 paper dah dapat 4.Tahun depan boleh dapat 4 lagi. Naik gaji tu..........Rezki anak.
Sekarang ni tengah Exam kat sekolah aku...sibuk jaga pekse.....pas tu kena tanda kertas la pulak...Kerja ni memang tak pernah nak habis. Cuti hujung tahun nanti.....kena jaga asrama pulak. SPM ngan STPM tak abis lagi....tu la nasib cikgu yang jadi warden. Cuti pun tak la berapa nak panjang.....masa cuti nanti confirm kena panggil datang sekolah....meeting. Nasib baik tahun ni aku tak kena jaga STPM....bosan giler kalu kena jaga paper yang sampai 3 jam. Apa-apa pun aku patut besyukur....dengan kerja-kerja ni la yang boleh buat aku senang macam sekarang...boleh beli rumah...pkai keta....beli baju baru...hantar duit kat kampung....sponsor adik...jalan-jalan cari pasal....macam-macam lagi la. Patut selalu kena buat sujud syukur.
Oklah....kita sambung lain kali. Aku tak sempat cerita pengalaman amek lesen scuba masa cuti sekolah yang lepas....kita cite lain kali la. Aku akan up kan citer aku tu ngan gambar sekali.

Kali ni aku nak cerita berkenaan dengan rombongan cik Kiah ke Lembah Bujang. Lembah Bujang ni terletak di bahagian Utara Semenanjung Malaysia. Kat Negeri Perlis. Aku ikut rombangan koperasi sekolah yang diketuai oleh kak wa. Ramai gak kawan-kawan yang ikut, anim, ana, aida, huda, kak azat, kak jam dan anak-anak murid kami la. Kat sini orang-orang yang minat sejarah boleh la mengunjungi tempat ni. Ada banyak chandi…tinggalan orang-orang Hindu yang datang ke Tanah Melayu. Lanskap kat tapak Chandi tu nampak cantik terjaga. Kalu datang sorang-sorang kat sini mesti aku rasa seram bangat.

A Famosa Resort
Assalamualaikum…...
Percutian keluarga ke AFamosa Resort ni dah 2 tahun berlalu…tapi saja aku nak cerita kan juga kat blog aku ni sebagai 1 lagi percutian yang best aku ngan keluarga tersayang. Dengan adanya blog perutian aku ni boleh la ingatkan semula anak-anak buah aku yang masih kecik masa tu…bahawa dorang dah pernah sampai banyak tempat-tempat percutian yang menarik. Tak macam aku ngan adik aku masa kecik dulu…balik2 mak aku bawak pi Templer Park….Zoo Negara…tapi oklah tu. Sepatutnya aku kena besyukur…nak jugak mak ngan ayah bawak aku jalan-jalan, walaupun masa tu ekonomi tak stabil mana…ada orang lain yang mak bapak dia tak bawak jalan mana2. Terima kasih mak..ayah…nenek…makNgah…Usu…Cik E…mak Syidah..makencik..(dorang ni semua rajin bawak aku jalan-jalan).
Percutian kali ni…mak aku yang banyak kelua duit. Mak bayar penginapan RM 750 untuk 1 malam kat banglo Resort ni. Kitaorang kat sini 3 hari 2 malam. Anak buah ngan sepupu aku paling happy…sebab boleh berendam kat kolam belakang banglo ni. Kolamnya tak la besar sangat…tapi jadi la nak lepas gian.
Malam pertama kat sini kitaorang tak pi mana…Cuma sibuk buat barbeque..panggang apa yang ada. Puas gak la makan. Lepas borak-borak…cerita itu ini…aku tido…
Esoknya acara bermula lepas solat Zohor…kitaorang pi AFamosa Animal World.Masuk RM 25 masa tu..tak tau la kalu harganya naik lagi.
Kat dalam ni ada banyak jenis haiwan…dari yang kecik sampaila ke yang besar…bestnya kat sini ada beberapa jenis pertunjukan haiwan.Contohnya macam pertunjukan badut kat dalam cowboy town (ada red Indian lagi)….pertunjukan monyet cerdik…boleh joget…naik basikal….pertunjukan burung…pertunjukan gajah….memang best la….
Kat sini juga korang boleh tunggang gajah…unta…kuda….
Malam nya pulak kitaorang pi Cowboy Town…nak masuk pun kena bayar kat sini. Kalu tak silap RM 32 untuk dewasa RM 22 untuk kanak-kanak. Best….kebanyakan binatang yang buat pertunjukan malam tu adalah binatang yang sama kat AFamosa Wild Animal siang tadi. Ada pertunjukan kereta berhias….pertunjukan aneka pakaian….tarian gelek….dan kemuncaknya ada pertunjukan bunga api…pas tu kitaorang jalan-jalan kat Cowboy Town tu…singgah tengok pertunjukan api dari puak Red Indian lak…ni yang makan api tu.
Kat sini pun ada macam-macam permainan…ada bumper car…keretapi….euro banging…archering…macam-macam la…tak tercerita lak aku.
Sebelum balik tu…kitaorang 1 keluarga amek gambar ala-ala cowboy. Kitaorang pakai custom yang disediakan…siap pegang senapang lagi tu. Comel betul gambar anak buah ngan sepupu aku!!!...Sekarang ni dorang dah besar sikit…tersengih je…masa aku tunjukkan gambar-gambar percutian kami ni.
Esoknya…sebelum balik kami singgah kat Bandar Air Keroh…masuk Taman Buaya….dan sempat rasa naik kereta lembu….nak naik kereta lembu tu kena bayar RM 10.
Nina beli makanan kegemaran dia kat Air Keroh ni….’Cencalok’…..sedap makan ngan nasik panas. Dia yang ajar aku makan cencalok….
Pulau Tioman
Assalamualaikum….
Ni sebenarnya nak mengimbas semula percutian 3 tahun lepas di Pulau Tioman. Tahun pertama posting selepas memilih bidang pendidikan sebagai pekerjaan tetap. Emmm….masa ni dapat tunggakan gaji, tu yang boleh suka-suka hati pi jalan-jalan cari pasal. Kami satu keluarga terlibat dalam percutian yang best ni. Emak, ayah, nenek,usu jila, atan, lan, aril, boboy, nina, pendek, bena,cak, wawa dan aku. Percutian ni la yang buatkan kami 1 keluarga mula kenal dengan dunia snorkeling. Mak la yang paling excited, sebab sekarang ni dia dah lengkap dengan peralatan snorkeling sendiri (sanggup berhabis duit). Bukannya apa…kalu dia pakai yang sewa punya, confirm dia banyak minum air laut. Sebelum ni aku dah merasa snorkeling kat Pulau Kapas maknanya aku advanced sikit dari keluarga aku, Cuma tak berapa terer lagi la. Kalu tengok, adik aku aril, lagi terror dari aku, sebab dia boleh pi pegang coral yang jauh kat bawah laut tu. Aku belum sampai tahap tu lagi la. Sebelum ni kalau kat atas darat…aku boleh nampak pokok, rumput, bunga-bunga yang berbagai warna…tapi rupa-rupanya kat dasar laut tu pun sama…ada macam-macam warna…..subhanallah….memang cantik la semua ciptaan Tuhan!!!. Yang best nya coral hidup ni rupa-rupanya lembut…tapi bila dah mati dia jadi keras. Betul ke? Aku pun tak pasti…tapi yang pastinya…bila aku tengok betul-betul coral yang hidup ni macam bergerak-gerak lembut bila kena arus air laut, tapi kalau yang kat tepi pantai tu…keras pulak. Sape yang ada pengalaman tu boleh la bagi tau situasi ni ye. Emmm…musykil pulak.
Kami di Pulau Tioman ni 3 hari 2 malam je…tak la lama sangat. Tapi puas la mandi air laut. Lupa lak nak bagi tau…kami dok kat Genting…bahagian Tioman yang paling cepat sampai dari Mersing. Kat Tioman ni ada banyak lagi kampong nelayan…aku pun dah tak ingat nama-nama kampong ni. Yang pastinya di Genting ni boleh jumpa banyak gerai-gerai makanan. Harga bleh tahan la. Ada roti canai, nasi lemak, seafood dan macam-macam lagi la. Kfc, mcdonald, pizza hut je xde.
Kami di bawa pusing satu pulau dengan bot nelayan….nasib baik dah telan pil mabok laut….aku memang dah stand-by kan pil mabok laut ni awal-awal lagi. Kat satu kampong di Tioman di ada 1 kedai bebas cukai…dorang kata harga memang rendah la…aku tengok ada rokok, pinggan mangkuk,…tapi xbanyak pilihan la. Ingat kat Langkawi je ada jualan bebas cukai, kat Tioman pun ada rupanya.
Pas tu kami dibawak pulak snorkeling di Taman Laut Tioman. Cantikla….cuba la korang rasa sendiri…kalu tengok sendiri lagi puas hati. Aku rasa, memang berbaloi la percutian ni…sebab dapat pengalaman baru. Berbeza ngan Pulau Kapas…kat sini xde obor-obor yang kejar aku….aku kejar ikan ada la….
Itu je yang aku ingat tentang percutian ni….bulan 8 (cuti sekolah) insyaAllah aku nak ambik lessen scuba lak)….mana tau lepas ni boleh join fauziah latip pi scuba lak…..kuakuakua……..Aku dah cuba-cuba angkat tong gas kat rumah aku ni….
Pulau Redang
Hari ni hari sabtu…sekolah cuti…jadi aku pun cuti la. Adalah masa nak tambah cerita diblog aku ni. Cerita pasal percutian aku ngan keluarga kat Lang Tengah pulak. Lang Tengah ni dekat dengan Pulau Redang. Pulau Redang, Perhentian, Lang Tengah dan Kapas adalah antara puau-pulau yang tercantik di Malaysia. Kalau tengok dalam gambar…Pulau Lang Tengah ni memang cantik, jadi kami pun datang la ke Pulau ni untuk melakukan aktiviti yang sepatutnya.
Bila dah menjejakkan kaki kat pantai pulau ni….memang rasa macam terus nak mandi laut….pasirnya putih….nampak lak ikan berenang kat celah-celah kaki…tu yang jadi lagi geram. Tak takut orang la pulak ikan ni…
Kitaorang dok kat Lang Tengah Resort. Lepas je check in kat resort tu…kitaorang tak tunggu lagi dah terus je tuju laut. Percutian kali ni bertambah ahli…nit (kawan baik aku) dan keluarga abg azni & k.som reruja dengan ajakan mak aku yang dah tak sabar-sabar nak snorkeling. Cuma kali ni nina dan lan je yang tak pi. Tak dapat cuti. Kesian dorang.
Lepas penat mandi laut….kitaorang minum petang. Makanan semuanya disediakan….makan la sampai kenyang.
Lupa lak nak bagitau…kitaorang kat pulau ni 3 hari 2 malam je. 1 kepala resort ni charge RM 280. ok la tu. Bilik ok…lengkap ngan bilik air ….ada aircond…cuma tv je yang takde. Tapi kalu nak tengok tv…boleh la tengok kat lobby resort tu (ada astro).
Kat depan resort ni ada coral yang cantik….ikan pun banyak.Jadi kalu nak snorkeling takyah tunggu tourist guard bawak (selalunya kena naik bot nak pi kat marine park)…terjun je kat laut depan resort tu…boleh jumpa nemo lagi.
Esoknya kami dibawa meronda Pulau Redang…pi marine park. Kat sini la ada ikan kerapu yang besar tong drum. Aku tak nampak….aril nampak!!!Kat sini macam-macam jenis ikan dengan macam-macam warna ada. Naik pening aku tengok ikan-ikan ni.Ikan-ikan ni pun mungkin pening tengok aku. Punya la penat snorkeling, dah la penat…lapar pulak tu…nasib baik bawak bekal. Apalagi blasah la apa yang ada. Air takyah minum….sebab dah banyak sangat minum air laut.
Pas tu kitaorang di bawak jauh sikit dari pantai…dari atas bot tu terjun je.nak takut ape…life jacket ada ma…..kat sini coral dia cantik gile!!! Ikan pun besar-besar. Adik yang bawak bot tu…tangkapkan gamat…bagi kitaorang tengok dan pegang. Besar giler gamat dia. Dah la besar lembek pulak tu. Ayah aku kata kalau nak hilangkan jerawat…sapu la gamat hidup tu kat muka….nit ngan mak aku selamba je pegang…macam gamat tu kawan dorang je.
Masa snorkeling kat sini, aku nampak belut laut. Tersorok kat celah batu.Nampak kepala dia je yang tersembul kelua. Kalu nak pegang ikan…letak la makanan atas tangan…mesti dapat sentuh punya la. Anak buah aku seronok betul….sebab dapat tengok ikan kat laut. Dorang cari spongebob…tapi tak jumpa.
Pening bapak dorang nak jawab.
Balik je dari melakukan aktiviti snorkeling kat Pulau Redang…kitaorang sambung lagi snorkeling kat depan resort. Aril dapat tangkap nemo….tapi dia lepaskan semula…sebab takut kena saman. Tau pun takut. Malam tu aku tido nyenyak betul. Nasib baik tak terlepas subuh.
Pagi esoknya (hari nak bertolak balik) aril ngan pendek ikut budak resort tu pi snorkeling kat kawasan resort…dorang jumpa baby shark ngan penyu la. Nyesal aku tak ikut. Tapi nak jadi rezki…sebelum nak naik bot balik ke tanah besar…kitaorang nampak baby shark main dekat dengan bot. Puas betul hati aku bercuti tahun ni….belanja banyak pun takpe janji hati puas.
Dalam kepala dah ada tempat nak snorkeling untuk tahun depan….kita jumpa lagi di Pulau Perhentian…adios.
