Again it was another very long weekend, this time, it coincides with Hari Raya Aldilfitri. Lynn, Yih Wen and I once again, embarked on another road trip.
Our destination - Up North to Negeri Jelapang Padi, Kedah Darul Aman
Alor Star - Sg. Petani - Kulim
It was a really long ride from Petaling Jaya to Ipoh for breakfast. We left at 6.30am that morning, only to arrive at Ipoh at 10am for dim sum at Foh San. We even had to wait for 30 minutes to get a table. We sent Lynn to KTM Station to get the train back to KL and then to her hometown after knowing of her grandfather's passing.
We reached Alor Star, Kedah at 4.30pm and was able to visit Tun Dr. Mahathir's house. We checked into a random hotel besides the museum.
...Tun Dr. Mahathir's House...
...the Paddy Museum...
...the clock tower...
...one of the icon in Alor Star...
...a random shot I took by the streets...
...Menara Alor Star...
The sleep in the hotel wasn't that nice... We woke up early the next morning for Kueh Teow Soup before heading to Gunung Keriang for a hike up the mountain. Too bad for us that we could only reach the first pit stop. The next mountain we stopped by was Gunung Jerai but instead of hiking up the mountain, we drove up the mountain :)

a beautiful place to visit
There's this bridge that we went (after we saw it from Gunung Jerai). We drove to the bridge only to find out that the bridge is closed. So we took a long walk along the bridge to the island called Pulau Bunting. We took a drive to many other places for sight-seeings and there are a lot of places to see and take photograph of.
...the bridge to Pulau Bunting...
...it was a long, sunny walk...
...a drive in the paddy fields...
...the building I used to see from Kuala Kedah jetty...
...Lembah Bujang...
...the paddy field...
...look at the island over at the end, that's Penang Island...
It was a great road trip to Kedah.
A hike to Gunung Keriang. A drive to Gunung Jerai. A walk to Pulau Bunting.
...and nice, delicious food in Sungai Petani...
- love the paddy fields -
