Mazda Convoy Oct 2010 - Cherating

A 2 days 1 night trip to Cherating (Kuantan) (Mazda Convoy) is worth skipping classes for. :)


Group Photo at bermaz - Glenmarie

Convoy Departs - YAYYYY!! About 20 cars

Escorted by Police to Gombak Toll


Causing a MAJOR JAM at LDP


Yes. I feel like a VVVVVVIP. :) It's my first time being escorted by the traffic police. We don't have to wait for the light to turn green, neither do we have to give way to anyone!!
I bet lots of people were cursing us that day.. But, who cares? :P


Lantisans at toll gate - Gombak


Grouping


The highway - without police escorting

When we reached Kuantan, we were escorted by the police again...

The police escorting us from Kuantan toll

This time, they sent only 1 police car. Unlike from Glenmarie to Gombak toll, we had 3 police on Bikes!


Parking lots were reserved for us at East Coast Mall

Group Photo at Mazda road show

The car that most of us were leaning on was a Mazda 2.. :)


After that, we headed to Impiana Resort.



The view from my room

I love my room. You could hear the sound of the waves. Really stress-free. Good weekend escapade!

Evening activity - Beach Soccer

I forgot to take a picture of the beach volleyball, and the swimming pool, and the place to cycle.
After an awesome game, we headed to Kamaman (Terengganu) for dinner.
Of course, we had SEAFOOD! :)

Crab
Hang on... it's actually

Stuffed-crab

Butter-prawn


Steamed fish

Fishball soup

Japanese Tauhu with Capsicum

Curry sotong -
only remember to take a photo after (nearly) finishing it



Vegetable



It was around RM27 per person. The seafood was nice, fresh, and different from the ones in Kuching.


After dinner, we were on our own, and headed back to the room to rest.

Sight of the ocean in the morning


Since it's the East Coast, I couldn't watch sunset. But it's still the first time I watch sunrise by the shore. It's a whole new experience.


"2010 - Cherating Trip, John & Shirl"

The water was clean enough. I did not see anyone making a sand castle though. lol..

It was a really nice trip. :) Made new friends, had lots of fun, and of course, a wonderful weekend. :)

After that, we had a group photo again. I don't have the photo with me yet. :P
Then, we headed back to KL. :(

4 Mazda cars :)

On a side note... If you notice - "Cherating" without the 'r' = Cheating.. LOL.. (get what I mean)? :)
