Let's start my journey from the 1st lunch arranged by Uncle Lim - it's a seafood lunch containing crab, prawns, green vegetable,clam and rice.

Some of the dishes haven't cook yet....^^

Then after lunch, we walk to our stay place - uncle's Lim house actually and at the same time trying hard to remember all the roads in the village...quite confusing...but you won't get lost.

We have plenty of free time after this, take a nap and then went out to take some good and nice fish village scene.

One of my friend had actually grab some "chinese new year" stock from shop at outside of the village....and actually it is not that expensive as most of the items were sell at around RM10 for 3 packets:

My favourite snack....

My friend paying at counter...see how much she bought...lol...

Around 7pm, we return to our stay place and uncle Lim has already prepared the BBQ dinner for us...delicious BBQ....yuummm.....we got ikan bakar pari, sotong bakar, BBQ chicken, fried mihun, watermelon, 2 bottles of carbonated drinks, udang bakar...some meat balls and fish balls...etc...

The next day, we wake up around 7am, as uncle Lim told us to get ready at 8:30am, because we gonna go to Kukup island and also fish farm!!..

this is the boat we ride on, which is also included in the package.

Reach Kukup Islang jetty:

Entry fee for Malaysian is RM5 while foreigner is RM10.

Lots of crabs in this island...blue, gold, white, black, red....

We called this "Ikan Belacak"

Siput Mata Merah or we called it as Belitong...one of a seafood dish in restaurant.

It's hard to capture a bird, if you are walking with a bunch of noisy friends, but I was lucky enough to capture this bird...Burung Murai.

If you are curious how the path looks like, see, this is where we walk along and capture whatever that attracts your attention.

After enjoying the nature view at Kukup island, we continue our visit to the fish farm.  On the way to fish farm, soemtimes you may have the chance to see this white egret bird which is believe migrated from Mongolia?? As told by the local people....correct me if I'm wrong... @.@
