Kukup

self reflected quite a bit at Kukup. i shall take whatever that comes in my stride.

shall never let anyone worry about me.

Anyway,

Kukup is a

er...

OKAY place.

we were brought to a fishing village, and we stayed in houses that were built on wooden planks and concrete pillars (they acted as stilts, cos we were literally in the sea). the chinese m'sians living in the fishing village were, i guess, rich, cos the house owners probably had to design their own blueprint, and pay contractors to build the houses up from nothing, and somemore, out in the sea. during the day, the seawater was high, but at night, the whole seawater just disappeared (low tide)! it's as though the Earth is like a cup of water, and when the cup tilts to the right, all the water on the left flows towards the right. but, the living condition is at least better than the floatels in Thailand. er.. although we do still bathe and urine into holes that lead straight to the sea, not to worry, there's still hot / clean water.

i was bored there on the first day, cos there really isn't anything to do and all the rest did was KTV-ing. the worst thing to forget to bring is cards. but anyway, watched the uncles play mahjong, so ok, there's at least something to do.

second day- woke up very early to watch sunrise. but clouds were a little too much, so couldn't really see. just saw colour change. but what was raelly fascinating was the seawater slowly moving in back to where it should flow. a bit like tsunami. the water got sucked to somewhere else, then slowly, the water flows back in a zig-zag manner. rode on a motor boat to kelongs. we were introduced to the different fishes kept at the kelongs. there was this fish that actually shoots jets of water from its mouth in order to hit their prey down. i held an ikan bilis between my fingers, and then those fishes surrounded my hand, and one of them shot out water. the force was so strong. one of the motorboat handlers joked- this kind of fish cannot be kept at home, cos you will have to mop floor everyday. one good suggestion: the garden (as fountain). there is another kind of fish- this fish goes whereever its mate goes. they are a pair, a couple, husband and wife. even fish can be so loving!!

overall, the trip is rather enriching. at least, i got to live a m'sian life for 2 days 1 night.
