Our JJCMM2 went for a short break to celebrate Ude's birthday. Very near. Morib saja. Coincide dengan Ude's participation in Morib Run. Walaupun dekat, sekejap, dan expectation rendah, it turned out to be awesome and full of adventure. As always dengan geng-geng yang pelbagai perangai tetapi ngam bila bersama :).
Aliyah pun ikut. Last minute she insisted. And she laughed and laughed along with us. At one point, she was so full after a meal and she said her stomach hurt. From the food and the laughter!
The getaway started early Sunday morning. Hubby sent us to meet with Ies in Dengkil, and less than one hour later, we arrived in Morib and met up with Jay. Baru nak duduk-duduk ambik gambar, Ude pun sampai. 5km run only :). Lepas tu melangut tunggu lucky draw yang turned out to be not so lucky. Then, breakfast at Dataran Morib.
After breakfast, the adventure began. Mula-mula naik Bukit Jugra. Drive up walaupun sebelum ni konon-konon nak hike up. Met up with Shake yang nak join sama. Very interesting view on top of the hill. Walaupun aktiviti paragliding tak ada sebab katanya owners pegi holiday ke New Zealand, we ended up taking photos at the top. Agak gayat sebenarnya!
Lepas tu, embarked on a historical visit ke Istana Bandar. Amazing place in an awkward way. Nampak kecik saja tapi bila masuk punyalah extensive. The palace is under works (not sure what actually), so there's nothing inside. Cuma amazed dengan architecture - the doors, windows, walls, courtyard... Jenguk ke dapur ada old-fashioned "stove" yang boleh letak kuali dan periuk besar kat atas dengan opening di bawah untuk letak arang dan kayu api. Semuanya bersimen.
Next, dalam suasana yang sangat panas terik, a trip to Pekan Banting untuk makan cendol yang maha famous tu. Memang awesome! Right after, beli bekal air mana perlu and checked in - tepat jam 3 petang - at Hotel Impian. My expectation was quite low sebab location dan harga yang agak murah untuk chalet mengadap laut, tapi it turned out to be an awesome place. Balcony jadi tempat duduk berborak sambil makan. Then melepak di benteng tepi laut depan chalet menikmati sunset yang Masyaallah sangat beautiful.
Malam, dinner di Dataran Morib lagi, joined by Shake and Eda, a friend yang lama sangat tak jumpa. Quite a nice meal there - nasi goreng topped with delicious fried prawns. Sambung lagi borak-borak kat chalet sampai jam 10.30 baru Shake and Eda balik. Lepas tu we all pulak sambung borak sebab masing-masing tak boleh tidur. Badan penat, mata mengantuk tapi memang tak boleh lelap. Jadinya, satu malam tak tidur berborak sampai 5 pagi!
This morning - lepas breakfast sesi terjun swimming pool yang besar dan best. Dari jauh nampak kecik tapi rupanya bentuk macam kidney bean :). Pelbagai aksi yang... hmmm... kalau pergi dengan orang lain memang tak buat kot! After that, check out dan terus ke rumah mak Jay for lunch. Makan lontong jawa yang authentic dan yummy. And we were joined by Kham, another friend yang jugak sangat lama tak jumpa. Finally, back home dengan a short stop dekat Kerepek House.
Short getaway yang padat dengan aktiviti, catch ups, sharing of stories, down the memory lane, jokes and laughter, uli-menguli membawa bahagia, disulami dengan makanan yang delicious. That's what we do best when we are together :)
