Exploring Dungun on Historical Holiday : Part 1

Daulat Tuanku! May Allah Bless His Majesty's Reign

Another historical day in 2007 - on The Installation of His Majesty The Yang Dipertuan Agong XIII - Malaysia's New King & Queen.

...and a very relaxing public holiday and quite historical for me too since it was my first visiting and exploration of Dungun's beaches. A very unique hidden fishing village and beautiful beaches at last was explored by 3 young explorer; Ash, Eddie and I. And also a first time relaxing at this wonderful resort!


It was actually started when brother Eddie was searching for honey moon places in internet last night. Tanjung Jara Resort is one of the best places that we put in list, since we have been listening about that resort - one of the most beautiful resort in Malaysia, and I believe not only in Malaysia because I have met a foreign couple going to Tanjung Jara from Europe last month in KL-KT flight. She is from Finland and her boyfriend - or may be her husband - is from Austria. We sat together on the same row of seats and talked about everything!

For Eddie, surveying for honeymoon was the main reason for visiting Tanjung Jara, but for me there was another reason for going there - to explore the architecture of the award winning resort, designed by one of the creative Malaysian, YM Raja Bahrain, who I believe -as far as I know- very passionate about Malay architecture. Let's see what I have taken for you...

The entrance..

Please follow the direction..

Reception area, viewed from swimming pool area..kaya dengan senibina Melayu. Tampak unggul dan berseri dangan hiasan tiang batu dan ukiran halus menghias bumbung bercirikan Terengganu lama.

If you have watched Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam-an international award winning Malay Horror movie, this resort is one of the location used for shooting, where Maya (Maria) met Azri Iskandar at night. Another international award winning film, Spinning Gasing also was film at this resort.

Aku terpikat dengan senibina batu menuju ke swimming pool..tegap dan kuat. Lambang kepahlawanan Melayu - agaknya.

Wow! So blue, man..can't you see? I love it! Begitu teruja, kalau boleh tanggal baju nak terjun terus..hehehe

Beach view...at 6 pm

Let's go home, mak pesan balik sebelum Margrib!

Good bye...Edd holding room rate and info sheets

Thanks to Tanjung Jara Resort for nice less than 30 min visit. To YM Raja Bahrain, all the best for you. Good Job!
