CROCODYLIPHOBIA

Ayuni Hotel on top of PappaRich, Bandar Baru Bangi.

Dari Alor Setar, tiba di Bandar Baru Bangi pukul 1.33pagi. Tidur di hotel Ayuni yang bajet sudah.

Usai bersarapan di Old Town White Coffee, penulis terus berlarian ke Taman Buaya Ayer Keroh. Pengunjung tidaklah ramai seperti di Zoo Melaka.

Oops hampir terlupa. Penulis sempat lagi keluar dari lebuhraya PLUS di Labu untuk mengisi petrol yang agak jauh ke pendalaman. Tidak mengapa, asalkan tidak terkandas dilebuhraya. Kemudian masuk semula ke lebuhraya dan keluar menjenguk kedai cenderamata di Muzium Negeri Seremban. Tetapi seperti yang penulis jangka, buah cempedak memang dah jadi nangka, kedai belum dibuka walaupun jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 10.33 pagi. Untunglah.

Nota lalat. Crocodyliphobia adalah takut pada buaya.

DIMANA ANDA MENCARI POSKAD DI ALOR SETAR

CikMaiBee and Gunung Keriang (Mount Keriang) is a 250 million year old lump of mainly limestone rock which is said to be in the shape of an elephant and reaches a height of 218 meters. It is located about 8 km north-west of Alor Setar close to the Kedah Paddy Museum. It is geologically unique and ten different rocks are found here including attractive calcite crystals which are much sought after by collectors and fung-shui believers. 3lalatphotography.

Jam 7.33am, pagi Ahad penulis sudah berlarian ke Jalan Gunung Keriang yang agak jauh dari kota mencari sarapan. Gara-gara mengikut entri blogger pernah mencuba sarapan sedap disini. Penulis tiba di restoran Roti Doll Mee Shiam yang popular itu walaupun indah khabar dari rupa. Rupa-rupanya hanyalah kedai mamak yang biasa-biasa. Layan sahajalah, yang penting isteri penulis tidak meroyan.

Jam 9.30am, sudah mengambil anak lanang di Kolej Mara Kuala Nerang.

Jam 10.40am, tiba dan melawat Muzium Padi. Kedai cenderamata yang baru ditukar pengurusan tidak menjual poskad. "Kami jual kraftangan je wak," kata abam tuan punya kedai itu.

Jam 12.51pm, tiba dan melawat Muzium Negeri. Tiada kedai cenderamata, dan poskad tidak dijual disini.

Jam 1.21pm, tiba di pusat beli belah Aman Central. Makan di restoran Sushi King sudah.

Jam 3.33pm, balik ke hotel bajet (Hijrah), lepak dan istirehat.

Jam 4.14pm, periksa keluar (check out) walaupun penulis bayar sehingga esoknya. Penulis terus ke pekan Kuala Nerang untuk menghantar anak lanang bergunting di belakang restoran KFC.

Jam 6.06pm, dari asrama kolej Kuala Nerang, penulis terus berlarian ke Lapangan Terbang Kepala Batas. Nasib baiklah juga ada kedi cenderahati disitu dan ada menjual poskad. Tapi bukanlah poskad negeri Kedah seperti yang penulis cari. "Lima keping empat hinggit wak," kata ahkak kaunter. Penulis beli 25 keping sudah.

Kemudian penulis terus pulang ke Bangi dimalam hari yang sibuk di lebuhraya.

Finally, I got the postcards from the Kedah airport, but no Kedah based though. Also known as the Alor Setar Airport, the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport serves Kedah and neighbouring states.

BLOG AKU PERGI WOODLANDS SINGAPORE PHILATELIC MUSEUM PERANAKAN

"No Showing," Woodlands Old town.

KELMARIN penulis telah berlarian ke seberang tambak semata-mata hendak menyertai perjumpaan penggemar hobi mengumpul poskad. Perjumpaan yang biasa dan selamba sahaja.

Link: the 5th Singapore Postcrossing Meetup

Program itinerari:
2.00 petang - masuk muzium, susun kerusi meja, tandatangan (bawa SGD5), pungut kad perjumpaan, potong dan lekat pelekat (bawa gunting)
2.30 petang - mula menandatangan poskad (bawa pen, klip besar/gelang getah besar bersama nama)
3.50 petang - gambar beramai
4.00 petang - bersurai!

Ini adalah perjumpaan pertama penulis dengan rakan-rakan penggemar poskad. Penulis agak terkilan dan rasa janggal pada mulanya kerana tidak disambut sebagai orangluar kerana mungkin mereka berfikiran terbuka dan menganggap penulis sebagai rakan-rakan senegara mereka juga. Juga penulis berpendapat perjumpaan yang hambar selain sibuk menandatangan beratus-ratus keping poskad, kami juga tidak diperkenalkan diri masing-masing.

MUZIUM CINA GALERI SENI MUZIUM TOKOH BATERI CAFE TAPI POSKAD TIADA JUGA

The Red House at Jalan Pahang and Jalan Tan Hiok Nee

PAGI-pagi kelmarin penulis telah berlarian ke beberapa muzium di bandaraya Johor Bahru itu. Tujuan utama mencari poskad tentang negeri Johor. (Total photo frames: 25)

Mula-mula penulis masuk ke Muzium Warisan Tiong-hua Johor Bahru yang penuh dengan informasi tentang kaum pendatang Cina dari dahulu hingga sekarang. Muzium warisan ini terletak di Jalan Ibrahim.

Kemudian penulis hendak ke muzium sultan abu bakar, tapi diberitahu muzium masih ditutup untuk renovasi yang tidak siap setelah lebih 3 tahun. Dari muzium warisan tionghua, penulis ke masjid sultan abu bakar pula kerana terdapat ramai pelancong. Yang ada cuma, 2 orang pakcik yang sedang menjual sejadah dan cenderahati kecuali poskad. Pakcik yang seorang itu memberitahu mungkin penulis boleh mencari poskad di Jalan Trus dan Jalan Dobi, yang mana penulis pun terus bergegas kesana. Tetapi penulis sempat singgah dan masuk ke Zoo Johor mencari kedai cenderahati yang masih belum dibuka. Seperti yg dijangka, tiadalah kedai yang menjual cenderahati atau poskad di kedua-dua jalan tersebut (Jalan Trus dan Jalan Dhoby). Kiosk pelancong pun entah dimana.

Kemudian penulis ke galeri seni johor bahru. Disitu penulis diberitahu bahawa tiada bekalan poskad disitu dan mungkin boleh mencuba ke muzium tokoh pula.

Di muzium tokoh, memang terdapat poskad daerah johor, tetapi bukanlah poskad bergambar fotografi, cuma lakaran dan lukisan tangan sahaja. Tetapi abang yang menjaga kaunter disitu menunjukkan satu buku koleksi poskad2 yang penulis kehendaki, tetapi beliau tidak menjual, hanya untuk simpanan peribadi. Abang kaunter juga menyuruh penulis ke Bateri Cafe Jalan Tampoi untuk mencari cenderahati disana.

Bila penulis tiba di Bateri Cafe, banyak kedai2 belum dibuka kerana baru pukul 12 tengahari. Selepas melihat2 sekeliling cafe disitu, penulis simpulkan bahawa masih tiada poskad dijual.

Sebelum penulis pulang ke gagang, penulis pun menjamu selera makan tengahari di LC Catering. Penulis pesan nasi ayam penyet sudah.

Hub Riadah Berbasikal. There is a small kiosk which I thought was a tourist center, but when I asked it's a place for renting bicycles only.

Then I tried to look for a gift shop inside Zoo Johor, but no one selling postcard too.
