Saturday was the usual marketing day. We made a mistake of not going to Pasar Besar Seremban last week so that this week we can just go to nearby shop to menambah2. So we had to wrestle the traffic, park illegally since you can't even turn left to get to the parking opposite the wet market, and push your way through in the market so that you can move to the next stall. And everyone seems to think that the road belongs to their great grandfather at the rate the cars are moving. As MrM always says, Seremban drivers are Sunday drivers and irks him to no end that they seem to take their own sweet time in driving.
We decided to go for a picnic on Sunday in Port Dickson. The night before instructed the maid to get up early to cook nasi lemak and its condiments. Woke up early that morning to cook fried mee after my usual cuppa, asked everyone to get ready while Bibik arranges everything in the picnic basket and by 8:15am we were on our way.
We had planned to picnic at this place where Munirah has gone for a camp in Teluk Kemang. When we reached Teluk Kemang (near Baitul Hilal the location for anak bulan sighting), the whole beach was filled with campers. There were just tents and tents and tents and I believe there was some sort of a boys camp going on as well. So much for being early. I told MrM my idea of a picnic is not to be surrounded with too many people. So off we go again to the next location, Pantai Peranginan Teluk Kemang. This beach is a bit too commercial, with rows of restaurants and shops. Not your ideal picnic spot so cari lagi. Sampai Batu 4, the number of tents outdid the ones we saw in Teluk Kemang. I am amazed that people camp these days. In Port Dickson, especially. I said to MrM let's just go to that spot beside Avillion, it is probably still empty and it is a nice shady area. The problem is the jalan going down that part of the beach. When you want to go out later, that is. But that was our best bet for a shady area with not too many people. Sure enough, the place was deserted, except for one camper at the other end of the same stretch. Yeay......
