Vacation in my own hometown...

After Chinese New Year this year(2009), malaysian celebrated Thaipusam and we also had a public holiday on monday. That means we had 3 days of holidays and I thought that it was the best time for me to visit my second hometown, Banting. I have my friends there and in fact, I planned to spend my holiday in my previous secondary school because I miss her so much since I left her for more about two years ago. I've planned my whole journey on where should I stay and with whom can I stay and also on how to spend my time there so that it would be both fun and meaningful. The best place that I can think about was the school hostel's dining hall. I knew the chef there very well and in addition one of my old friend is working with him as a kitchen assistant. The chef is a very kind man and I knew him since I was in form 4 and we became very close friend since then. Besides getting free accomodation, I also get free food. But, of course I need help them with some light kitchen works. Fortunately, students who are staying in that hostel didn't go home for Thaipusam holiday, so my chef friend have to stay at his kitchen to cook for them so that the students won't die because of starvation.

I departed from my college at about 12 o'clock Friday morning after my chemistry class. I took a bus to section 14, PJ to perform my Friday prayer there before continued my journey by taking a bus to Klang. From Klang then I took a bus straight to Banting. I arrived there at about 4 o'clock in the evening. As I entered the kitchen, my friend Hasan who is working there invited me to go to Klanang beach with him. I agreed without hesitation and off we went to Klanang taking several spare T-shirts with us. We also called our other two friends to join us. The four of us plunged into the beach, and although Klanang beach is not as prestigous as Tioman and Langkawi, we had fun together as we spent time together, something that we didn't do for a long time after we left school. We went back to shore about half an hour later as the sun was at the horizon. We planned about things that we could do together that night as we relaxed and enjoying the sunset. One of my friend suggested that we should make a barbeque that night but I didn't agreed as there were only four of us and it is not fun to make a barbeque with only four guys. So I suggested that we go to the movie. They agreed and we planned to meet at the hostel's dining hall at 9 o'clock that evening. So, Hasan and me went back to the dining hall and we took dinner there so that we don't have to spend extra money on meal. That night, as promised, we went to Jusco in Bukit Tinggi, Klang. One of my friends didn't actually have enough money to buy his ticket. So we decided to "donate" some amount of money so that he could buy his ticket. We watched Ong-bak2 that night. It was a fine movie. It started at 12 o'clock and finished at 1.30 in the morning. We didn't hang out after that, we went back home instead but we didn't go straight to sleep. We played video games first before we finally slept at 5 in the morning.

The next morning, after Subuh prayer, I helped Hasan preparing breakfast. "Pisang Goreng" was in the menu. Besides helping him, I also learned to make "Pisang Goreng". It was so simple and not as complicated as I thought. Unfortunately, I must go back to PJ as my mother told me that she was on her way to KL from Penang. She would be meeting me in PJ. So, I have no choice other than heading to PJ that evening as she claimed that she would be there at about 7. I went off from Banting at around 3 o'clock. It was very hard to say goodbye but I had to. I wished I could stay a bit longer but I was satisfied as I had a chance to meet my friend. Surprisingly, I spent only RM 30 for this holiday and that included my bus fare and my movie ticket. Someday, I would make this similar trip again when I had time.
