Kuantan, Pahang

Kuantan, 12-14 Sept 2012

My last visit to Kuantan was two years ago. This time, i was assigned to visit four schols in Kuantan district.  I was a bit worried because i don't know Kuantan well and the only hotel that i can remember is Grand Continental Hotel (GCH). I tried to locate the schools using google maps but it was useless because i don't know Kuantan. So what i did was just prayed God to lead the way. Thank God I found GCH easily before 7pm on 12 Sept.  

My journey to SMK Paya Bear on day one was not smooth. I lost my way in Kuantan town for about 20 minutes looking for the so called 'numbered traffic light' where i need to make a right turn leading to SMK Paya Besar. The local people are very friendly and they give direction as if you are local too. Well, I managed to locate the school after an hour.

After visiting SMK Pelindung on 13 Sept., I detoured to Teluk Cempedak which is not far from the school. The beach is beautiful but too many monkeys around the bridge. One of them was pulling my long skirt and refused to let go when i tried to pull back. May be they are just too hungry.

I was there for about 30 minutes but went there again after visiting SK Beserah and SMK Tengku Afzan.on14 Sept.
