For the last few days, i have been busy doing things: hair cut, facial and spending times with kids. I wanted to clear all my things before the weekends because i already have plans. Before that i was planning to abandon Mr. Teo and enjoy my ladies trip with my friend, and it was so happened that he was having his business trip. So it was really a perfect timing.
My friend J works in Kuala Lumpur and she is from Kuantan. We knew each other during college time and she actually wrote a story about our college life. We become even closer after graduation. Although we are from total different background, basically there is nothing similar between us, but we are both very close friend.
J reached Batu Pahat on Friday late night, we planned to go Johor Premium Outlet and Kukup on the next day. While i fetched J from bus station back home, she noticed a signboard that reminds her of a place, Tanjung Piai. She mentioned to me while we were discussing on our itinerary of Saturday, but seriously I never come across to this place before. I didn't even google it because i am quite confident the place is very far from either JPO or Kukup. After she pointed the signboard which has been long standing somewhere in Batu Pahat town which i NEVER noticed it as well, i know what is in her mind and i prepared to bring her there.
On Saturday, we set off at around 10am after having breakfast in Batu Pahat. We spent about two hours shopping in JPO and we continue our journey to Tanjung Piai which is very near to Kukup. It was a very HOT Saturday and seriously i didn't really enjoy the heat even i was in an air con car. I thought Tanjung Piai is kind of a beach, and we could just sit inside the car and drove around. I WAS SO WRONG!!!!!!!
When reached there, (we thought we reached), we get down from the car and walked towards a cafe on a bridge under the HOT SUN!!! It was a disaster when i knew the place was not where J wanted to go. After got the information from someone there, we drove further to explore the place J wanted to go. After we reach, it was not as bad as what i thought but it is just the SUN. After purchased RM5 entry ticket per person, we started our adventurous journey on our feet. It was a reserved jungle, with bridges that lead us to a few places. With a dress, a slipper, i was on wrong attire for this kind of outing. But seeing J was very excited after we finally found the place, i do not want to disappoint her. So i just followed to walk on the bridge to the destination that J was really interested to see - the globe of Tanjung Piai.
For your information, Tanjung Piai is is a cape in Johor which is the southernmost point of Penisular Malaysia and thus the most southern point of mainland Euroasia.From there, we are able to see the island of Singapore and Pulau Jawa. In fact, i received an SMS from Indonesia telecommunication company.
While we finally reached the globe, it was another disaster to J because according to her, it was a real globe with maps on it, but the globe in front of us is just an empty globe with the word Tanjung Piai only. I wasn't really enjoy the "scene" because it was very super windy and i can hardly walk without using my hand holding tight on my dress. While worrying about my flying dress, J was busy taking photos around. After several shots, we then proceed to Kukup. J was hoping to go to Kelong to see puffer fish but we are too late for the sea transport to the kelong. After walking around, we had our seafood dinner there and then headed back home. We played wishes lantern bought from Kukup in front of my house. It ended our wonderful one day trip.
Seriously i enjoyed everything except the SUN, the heat and the sweat. Afterall, i was happy as J was satisfied with all the things she want to see and do. It is a life happiness to be able to travel with family and friends. I look forward for my next trip.
