SeeLing invited us to her homeland, BATU PAHAT (BP) to had fruit feast at her home. The main reason we were pounding to her home is the King of Fruits DURIAN!! Of course other than Durian, we seek for BP local delicacies. Such a fun and exciting activities especially in a bunch of playful group.
DAY 1
Munchie munch at Glutton Square
All 9 of us took off from KL down to BP, took us around two and a half hours to reach and approximately 252km of distance. But the journey doesn't let bored ourself as we were so excited and been talking what we gonna eat and buy and do.

 |
| Eh, you know how to do it anot?! |
 |

Next destination, sleep and rest spot. We arrived at the temple in a fishing village of Segenting guided by SeeLing. It was drizzling when we reached there, however the scenery was so beautiful. The place itself is a fishing village and it is also a tourism village for people who need a real retreat from the busy city life.
SeeLing booked 2 rooms at first, then we decided to all squeeze into 1 big spacious Master Room. We sleep, chat, eat and snores (only the men's) all 10 together!!! Have you done that with your friends? It's located above a mini store and the temple.
Headed for dinner at Ship Village, for me the food taste average and pricey...
Day 2
Tua Pek Kong Temple 崇龙宫大伯公庙
ITua Pek Kong is a very popular religious place of worship as well as tourist destination. Erected by the Minyak Beku beach in Segenting fishing village, various Gods such as Mazu (Goddess of the Sea), Da Bo Gong (Grand Uncle) and Hai Long Wang (Dragon King of the Sea) are worshipped in hope of blessings and protection for the villagers.
We actually stayed above a mini mart+coffee shop where SeeLing booked for us. You can see for the 4th picture from below from where we stayed. The view outside our window is so refreshing and relaxing. I could just lay down whole day long without doing anything just to enjoy the free hustle moment. One by one waking up, went downstairs for a walk and enjoy the morning sea breeze.
I could see the lover bridge (情人桥) out left from our window. It is the jetty for the fishing boats and also a romantic spot for dating couples. romantic spot? i doubt that..

From here you can see that's the place we stayed in. Cheap and the neighborhood people are so friendly.

An interesting thing to do at the temple is to stick out our hands and gently touch the arapaima fish in the pond. Devotees believe that this will bring luck and fortune.
