Yup. Anak-anak dok excited bangun turun kerusi. Siap berebut nak tengok keluar tingkap lagi. Tapi bapak keras saja dok tepi. Gayat katanya. Alhamdulillah trip 45 minutes sahaja :)
Touchdown Pekan Baru's Sultan Syarif Qasim II airport. Boleh tahan cantik airport dia. and tak berapa nak risau kalau flight delayed pasal it's spacious and takda la rasa insecure macam kat Bandung ^___^"
And this is the famous Kelok 9. Kelok means jalan-bengkang-bengkok. It is so dangerous, alhamdulilah they manage to build new roads to replace it. By the time we reach the place, Hannan has fallen asleep on my lap. So abah, Sarah and makngah saja laa yang layan the view.
Our first morning at Bukit Tinggi.
We were so tired, it was a 7-hour drive from Pekan Baru, mind you.
Tapi kawasan tu sejukkk banget! Nama pun Bukit Tinggi kan? :)
Next stop, Danau Maninjau.
It is, subhanallah, an amazing view! Gila bosaw tasek dia, and the water looks so green from above. We didnt manage to get a clear picture of the lake though. But it is mesmerizing. Plus, it windy too! Look at ma' hood! *wink*
After that, Heri drove us down through Kelok 44.

We were lucky Heri is a good driver. Speeding yes, but still ok alhamdulillah. Of course, I did took any picture of the road since we are too busy holding one another in the car. But the picture above gives you an idea of how the road is... times 44!
This was our second stop, rumahnya Buya Hamka :)
The funny thing was, even both Heri & Adel tak tahu pun wujudnya such wisata. Macam aku gak la, nama saja duduk PD, tapi Muzium Tentera Darat tu pon aku tak sampai laei huhu
Ahhhh... this is the place that I miss the most!
The dreamy Air Mancur Lembah Anai.
Mula-mula pelik gak, "Pasaipa laa nak kena gi tengok air terjun. Mesia pon ade..." pastu amek kau! Nak balik pon tak sampai hati, sedeh (T__T")
It's quite a small area, tak bosar pon air terjunnya tapi mashaallah... airnya jernih bersih cantik! betul kata review, memang Lembah Anai ni ibaratnya cebisan rahmat yang jatuh dari syorga... saya rindu!
Malam itu, kami ke Jam Gadang. saja nak rasa night life bersama local people. biasa-biasa saja semua. except for here, in Indonesia, nothing is free. even nak tangkap gambo dengan maskot pon kena bayo. pasal kalau suma free, habes laa ramai rakyat depa ramai xdak kija.
We arrived at Pekan Baru at 2 am despite leaving early from Bukit Tinggi. Tapi mana tak lambat, semedang menyinggahnye ;p
Wedding of the month :)
Ade sedikit segan bila pi kenduri Pak Kiki ni benornye.

Rasa macam out of place. Pasal SEMUA ORANG PAKAI GLAMOR GILA HIJABISTA TAK HENGAT PUNYA!
And whether you like it or not, before you leave the wedding, you have to bagi 'duit tangan' for the pengantin. And you will also be asked to declare how much you give in a book prepared, complete with your signature.
Nasib baik ada bawak sampul raya *phew*
All and all, it was a memorable trip. 7 hari weh! Kau hade?
Despite not having Kiki to bring us around, he is one hell of a host!
Hoping to see him November for Angah's wedding.
Jangan serik dengan kami ya? :)
