The school holiday is just around the corner and here in Malaysia, couples would usually tie the knots during the school holidays in March, June or December. The 2 weeks school holidays will begin this coming Friday- for us in the East Coast. So, we are now approaching the 'wedding season' ! So far I've got 6 wedding invitations..which means I have 6 weddings to attend in the upcoming weeks...I am sure some of you might get more than that! Just last Saturday, one of my friends attended 5 weddings in a day! Just imagine!
It's a trend nowadays that you would find the photos of the future brides and bridegrooms on the wedding invitation cards. Zaman I dulu2, takde pun posing2 macam ni ...
And...Last Saturday I was in KB and we went to Rantau Panjang to get some wedding gifts for some friends and relatives who are getting married during this coming holiday. This time around, I decided to get some kitchenware for the wedding gifts. Senang..beli semua sekali harung.. So, I went to the kitchenware store that I always go to at Rantau Panjang. It is a duty free shop and things are cheaper there. For the past 13 years I've been frequenting the shop and I actually got most of my kitchenware from this particular shop.
There are a lot of choices and things are cheaper....
At the shop, they'll wrap the presents for you..So easy-jimat masa dan tenaga..
Below are some photos I snapped at the border town Rantau Panjang...It was a bit crowded last Saturday
Rantau Panjang is the major border crossing between Malaysia and Thailand for the East Coast of Malaysia. It's a popular duty free shopping area and at Rantau Panjang, Malaysia and Thailand are separated by a tiny river called Sungai Golok.
Golok town is just across the river on the Thai side. The use of illegal boat services to get across to Golok is a way of life... You will reach Thailand in less than five minutes by a small boat. We had been to Golok town many times before but lately we dare not go to the other side anymore due to safety reasons.. Tak berani you..but when the situation gets better I would love to be there again... I just love Thai food!
Things to get in Rantau Panjang-fruits!!
Fruits from Thailand- now is the lychee season..Fruits are cheaper in Rantau Panjang
Lots of snacks from Thailand
Musim bola ni...you can find lots of jerseys ...
Nevertheless, not everything is cheap in Rantau Panjang nowadays. When you do your shopping in RP make sure that you bargain for the goods that you purchase and you can save a few ringgit..
Lastly, just wanna share the excitement..Hooray! Next week is the school holidays! (teachers are as excited as the students when it comes to school holidays....) To all teacher friends Happy Holidays and to future pengantin-Selamat Pengantin Baru!
