Looks like I'm among the first to try the new Lebuhraya Pantai Timur without losing any penny for the tols! And yeah, it really take 2-hours drive from KL to Kuantan people! Unbelievable isn't it? That's half time the drive if you're using the old road there. I wonder how long will it take to drive to my hometown back in Kota Bharu when the 2nd phase of the construction starts. Wonder how much will they be charging us on the tols after this one-month tol-free trial as well! Still, Whatever the charge is gonna be, thanx god is not under PLUS or else, it must've cost a bomb!

Arrived in Bukit Keluang Coral View Beach Resort, Terengganu just in time for the welcoming speech and BBQ dinner party. I must say that it doubles the difficulty to get here with the poorly-placed signboards plus if you're travelling at night. I was later informed by the receptionist upon checking-in that the resort has just been opened to public for a week. So, I'm cool with the signboard thing. The resort was not too bad either.

There's the welcoming speech by the APARC President, Elcee Cagas Conner. No Yon, not Sinead O' Connor!

Right after the welcoming speech, it's party time! BBQ man, that's what I'm talking about! There was even a live band to cheer the mouth-watering event! Some performance from cute primary school childrens as well as Mak Yong from the local people. But hey, I wasn't paying too much attention on them since BBQ is in hand! I'm telling you, the food was awesome! Ke aku yang lapor?! Hehe...

Omigosh, I guess I'll leave you with the photos, gotta attend a symposium in a while. I might paste the Day 2 photos when I update my blog tomorrow - A visit to the island! So, stay put guys! Take care!

Till tomorrow, Bubbye!
