 Tina's aunt's house was a stone's throw away from the beach. The moment we reached

the house, we flung our bags down and headed for the beach.

It was spectacular. The sea seemed luminous. It was so early in the morning that there

was no one else there. The beach seemed to have been washed clean by the tide and no one

had walked on it except the little crabs and the gulls.

After the incessant noise of the city and the overnight trip on the train, the silence was

utter bliss. Enjoying the warmth of the sun, both of us just sat on the sand and watched the

waves roll gently on the shore. Far out on the distant horizon were some fishing boats. It

really was the perfect start for the weekend. Tina waded into the shimmering blue and green

sea, jumping to avoid the foam breaking on to the shore. I ran on the wet sand, enjoying the

feel of it under my bare feet. 'Coee!' I answered the gulls and did a cartwheel in sheer joy.

Auntie Lis was waiting for us with freshly cooked nasi dagang. The aroma welcomed us as

we stepped into the house. After the scrumptious brunch, Auntie Lis said it was time to paint

the town red. The first stop was the Kuala Terengganu market. It was fun exploring floor after

floor of local delicacies and crafts. There was keropok lekor that we sampled at the food

court. We drooled over the hand-painted batik fabric and bought colourful batik pants and T-

shirts. Of course Aunt Lis bought packets and packets of dried fish and keropok for us to bring

home with. The wet market on the ground floor had an intriguing array of fruits and

vegetables in all shapes and colours that we had never seen before. The best part was the

duku langsat. There were mountains of them and I had never tasted such big, succulent and

11
sweet duku langsat before. Auntie Lis had to put a stop to our fruit tasting. 'Enough! Your

stomachs will burst soon. Keep some place for other local delicacies.’

Our next stop was Kak Yah's where we sat down for plates of their famous keropok and

tea. It was wonderful. Auntie Lis had to drag us out of the shop to a batik factory. There we

tried our hands at batik painting and created our own masterpieces. We also saw songket

weaving and appreciated the fine craftsmanship.

We went home for dinner after that. Aunty Lis reminded us we would celebrate Earth

Hour by having a barbeque dinner under the stars. It was truly a memorable experience

having dinner underneath thousands of stars, listening to the lapping of the waves and Uncle

Shah’s stories of old Terengganu.

The next morning we set off to the turtle hatchery near Kuantan. We were beside

ourselves with excitement when we were allowed to release little turtle hatchlings into the

sea. It was an incredible experience to watch the week-old hatchlings waddle into the sea. I

held my breath when a huge wave swept the little ones into the sea and whispered a prayer

for their safety.

All too soon it was time to take the train home. On the way home we talked and talked of

our unforgettable weekend in Kuala Terengganu. We had left for Kuala Terengganu

exhausted and burnt out. Now, we left it refreshed and filled with a quiet joy.

Dear Rosy,

I would like to invite you to the Royale Fun Fair which has just arrived in town. As you know,
it is temporary with scheduled time lasting from 5 days to several weeks so we have to grab
the opportunity as early as we could. I have checked out the entry ticket price and it is only
RM 2 which is reasonable so it’s on me. I would like to go to the ‘Be a Clown for a Day’ event.
It is something we both have wanted to do ever since we watched the movie, ‘Kit the Clown’
in Year 6. This is our chance to experience being in the clothes and shoes. Moreover, no one
will stop us from doing the cartwheel as many times as we like and we would definitely enjoy
doing it. The venue of the fun fair is just a stone’s throw away from my house so I can request
my father to drive us there. In this way, we can save money spent for transportation and
spend on other expenditures. Write to me soon. See you.

From,

Jessica
