The 3-day trip to Darul Iman~

I am back at the office again. Actually yesterday i was here already, but due to some technical difficulties, i wasn't able to upload pics and blog like usual. Took leave on Friday and Monday, so i had a 4-day leave including the weekends.

The trip to my school in Dungun, Terengganu was exhilarating. Felt so great to meet up with old friends once again, eventhough many did not manage to make it. Since we were all like 'scattered all around the world', it is close to impossible to have everyone available at the same time.

Departed on Air Asia flight from KLIA on Friday afternoon, had a quick lunch and prayers in Kuala Terengganu and departed for Dungun (a convoy of 2 cars) in the evening. Reached school around 6pm, and most of us already arrived..Had a mixture of feelings when we first arrived at school,kind of feeling anxious and excited at the same time.

Since all the girls who made it was around 20 people, we all crammed in the Bilik Rawatan. Thank God they finally changed the sheets, and it was cozier than the old days. The fun began instantly, coz it was along time since we all slumbered and kind of 'lived' together. Eventhough we had to share the limited beds, it was exciting nonetheless.

We had a BBQ Dinner that evening, and that was the chance for us to meet the guys. The BBQ wasn't perfect, coz we had to 'camp' under no lights. Anyway, we still manage to talk and lepak2 while enjoying the food, even under the dim lights.

The next day we had free activities. Since there were enough cars to accomodate us all, we went searching for our favourite foods for breakfast. I went with some close friends to find a Nasi Dagang stall, and after a brief search, we found a delicious one. The craving for Terengganu food was always there, even when you live far away. After that we all went to Teluk Gadong, the beautiful beach just 5 minutes away from school.

We had a semi-formal dinner the next evening, at a place Kelab Desa Rantau PETRONAS,45 minutes away from school. The dinner was simple, but the food was not bad. The moment i saw everybody seated, my thoughts wandered to our Graduation Night in 2001 at The Legend, Kuantan. Kind of the same, except for more makeups on the ladies, and the number of people attending. The night went on with us having more reminiscing conversations.

We departed home on Sunday morning, after having a second breakfast at yesterday's Nasi Dagang stall. Time flew so fast, the next thing we knew we were already heading for Kuala Terengganu again. Goodbye SMSD, hopefully we will make it again some other time. Once we reach KT, we went finding tickets for Kelantanese friends, and went shopping at the famous Pasar Payang. We bought loads of Keropok Segera, coz there is no other place you can find a delicious one like in Terengganu. On the way to a friend's place for the night, we stopped by the village's Keropok Lekor stall and we both bought some to bring back to Kuala Lumpur the next day.

Our flight home was in the morning of Monday. Reached KLIA around 9.30pm, and after saying our goodbyes, we both went home.

Oh dear, time fly so fast these days. One time you were excited to meet your old friends, and then suddenly you find yourselves saying goodbye, again. Next time we meet, some of us may probably settle down already. I already miss them. The bond that we made when growing up together for 5 years, is one bond that won't get loose easily.
