Kota Bharu: Missing you

I'm wishing anyone, Muslim, who drops by here to read my ramblings, a blessed and memorable Eid-ul-Fitr.    Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri untuk semua. :)

I can still remember that wonderful feeling, waking up at dawn, looking out the window, seeing a different city....a strange, wonderful feeling... for reasons unknown to me, I feel at ease, I feel serene... macamlah dah selalu sangat duduk Kota Bharu yang sangat jauh daripada Johor Bahru tu.  Then I will watch tv... then do my subuh prayers then sambung tengok tv semula. Ada juga terbangun in the middle of the night.. pun rasa best, tenteram je...it could be because it is an Islamic city...soothing and peaceful aje bila kat sana, Alhamdulillah.

Then selera makan pun sentiasa okay je.. since the menus were quite different than the ones we southerners selalu makan..tu yang bertambah best tu.  Our last nite there, we had dinner at Glaila restaurant, right in the middle of KB.  Yang paling I ingat dan suka ialah Kari Ayam Hijau.. so far belum pernah jumpa lauk tu di JB ni.  Super-delicious!  

There are many, many things I love about Kota Bahru.

Kota Bahru, I miss you....

Kota Bharu : I'm in love

Guess it's a bit late but never too late to wish everyone Salam Ramadhan and may you have a blessed time in this holy month.  And welcoming the month of Syawal with arms wide open although beginning to feel sad that Ramadhan is coming to an end....there's nothing like the magic of this holy month.

Kota Bharu.  Verdict? I'm in love. With the city. The food. Oh, not the heat, though.  Yang geram tu ore Kelate semua putih melepak despite the blinding heat... mana aci cam gini...

But yes, I'm in love with Kota Bharu.  Nanti-nanti kalau ada masa, will write a lil bit more on the beloved city of mine.. yes, I think I luv Kota Bharu right after Johor Bahru.  The city has a personality and a touch of its own.

Proud to say here that I am now familiar with the main roads of the city of KB.  Jalan Sultanah Zainab, Jalan Kebun Sultan, Jalan Telipot, Jalan Hamzah, Jalan Gajah Mati, Jalan Kuala Krai, Jalan Hospital, Jalan Pengkalan Chepa, Jalan Sultan Ibrahim... and lots more.  Stayed at the luvly Grand Riverview Hotel, with a view of the river.

Later, uccay.  Once again, I LOVE KOTA BHARU. :)
