Eunos Harmony Trail to Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan Day 3

27 July 2008

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3

Last day of the Eunos Harmony Trail. In the morning, Eunos Grassroots Leaders had a meeting after breakfast with Mayor Zainul. The purpose of the meeting was to endorse the Kopi-Talk discussions we previously had in NACLI.

The first stop for the day was at the Masjid Negeri Sultan Ahmad. There was a group photo taking before we toured around and take some pictures.

Next up, we headed to the East Coast Beach.

After the beach, we went to Sin Kee Hung Sdn Bhd, a company producing local products like salted fishes. According to the tour guide, Malaysia government is actively promoting the trade of salted fishes because there is literally no cost in producing them, but could be sold at a good profit margin level. Mayor's wife is a heavy shopper.

We had our lunch at Li Yuan Restaurant. As usual the bus driver lost his way again and we were the last bus to arrive. It was a candid scene when Civil Defence Executive Committee (CDEC) Chairman, Mr. Pang Loo Sen PBM, was guarding the male toilet. The queue for the female toilet was too long and he volunteered to station there so that females can also utitlise the cubicles in the male toilet. He settles the "emergency" issues.

Mayor gave a final speech, thanking everyone for the success of the trail. Mr. Michael Fong PBM also called us the Trail Blazers. Mayor Zainul would continue his journey back to Kuala Lumpur for work purposes. Sending us off, he went to every bus to distribute chocolates, a gift from his wife.

We did our last shopping at Yo Yo Native Food Products. Throughout the journey back to Yong Peng for dinner, the Karaoke VCD was repeatedly played. After a while, I began to sing along some of the Hokkien songs.

After dinner at Yong Peng, we were told that we need to change our bus again for the 3rd time. We were amused by all the incidents that only happened to our bus - Rainwater leaking into bus, always losing our way, air-conditioner cover fell off, microphone spoilt, etc. I believe most of the people in the bus would remember the bus plate number and buy 4D with it.

There was a long queue of buses at the Tuas checkpoint. I was glad to be warmly greeted by the staff at the checkpoint. Each one of them was groomed nicely and had smiles on their faces.

Bus 7 brought us back to Eunos Zone 3 RC office. Home Sweet Home!
