The Beach at Kijal

Having seen and done so much at our 3 days 2 nights at Tanjung Jara

and 3 days 2 nights at Awana Kijal back to back Trengganu holiday,

it was now time to leave and take another road trip back.

Before we left, we drove around the vicinity of Awana Kijal, specifically Kijal Beach.

Upon seeing this sign, we drove in to Kijal beach

and was greeted with the most serene beach scenarios.

Turquoise sky met with indigo sea and

powdery sandy beaches adorned with rocky outcrops

Rocks that kept sentinel as waves crash on them

and send sprays cascading (not shown, only my imagination)

My daughter had sand in her eyes,

but I had mists in my dreams and clouds in my coffee...

(don't ask me what that means, I got it from an old song)

My sister defied odds to drive us to the east coast in her Lexus...we are all girls..

Another picture of the eastern mermaid that waits perpetually

for her love to fulfill her dreams, till she turned into stone

(from a chinese (Shaw Bros) movie I watched when I was young,

it fuelled my romantic notions!!)

Some signs of life: daytrippers on an otherwise deserted stretch

Too beautiful for words...how's this?...

Pandanus leaves in the foreground adjacent to a hackened fence

frames a placid sea of calm, a barely discernible rise of a gentle mountain

assymetrically dots the sky!!!!!

ha ha ha!! I can't understand what I wrote last picture, so I shall leave this picture alone!

Looks like speedboats of fishing tycoons, but they are boats of plain fisher folk

I don't know what are these, but it made a pretty picture

Traps, perhaps?

Another shot of my mermaid rock, I seemed to be pervertly fixated with it!

Casuarina trees and shaded pier for girls to wait for their men to come back from sea

Guarded and gated community with coconut trees as sentry

A sight for sore eyes

and the most jaded soul...if you want to escape

the mundane, humdrum, smog filled, methane fuelled rush hour

of Kuala Lumpur, come here to Kuala Trengganu

Where the only denizens are a bunch of cockerels
and hens and definitely no thoroughfares!!!!
