Terengganu is blessed with diverse and natural rugged terrains, mountains, lakes, rivers, exotic flora & fauna, beaches, island and underwater marine life. These entire destinations not only attract holiday makers but attract participants to challenge oneself up to the limit against nature’s backdrop. It provides endless activities for the visitors. With a land area of over 12,000 square km, there are plenty of places in our lowlands, highlands and coastal areas to indulge in any kind of recreational & adventurous activity. Terengganu is divided into seven districts, all with its own unique charms full of surprises and discovery, which makes the more reason you would like to stay longer after the event is over.
Be it mountain climbing, triathlon disciplines, squid jigging, horse endurance ride or yacht racing, the mountain is never merely a place with all kinds of sky scraping trees, the islands are no more a place just to have fun with fishes in the water and the beaches are no more a place for body tanning.

Fresh seafood to savour
IF FRESH is a flavour then BuBu Restaurant along Tengkat Tong Shin, Kuala Lumpur has got it down pat especially for its seafood dishes. The main ingredients are delivered to its doorstep fresh from the fishing port once every two days.
Affliated with the BuBu Long Beach Resort on Pulau Perhentian that is owned by Ken Cheah, the restaurant gets it shipment of seafood from one of the two major ports in Terengganu in Kuala Besut.
Popular: The grilled squid at BuBu.
“Our people and van will pick up the seafood selection and deliver it to the restaurant here on the same day. What we get may differ at times depending on what the fishermen bring in,” restaurant partner Gonzalo Ramirez said.
Every day there will be a selection of about six to eight types of fresh seafood awaiting on beds of ice for selection before it is grilled and marinated at the same time with some lemon and vinegar which results in a succulent and flavourful meal.
“The restaurant highlight is the grilled exotic seafood which may include blue marlin, barracuda, sole, baby octopus and squid. We also serve seafood as well as a selection of other food,” Ramirez said.
Many of these dishes cater to the local palate where they like their food a little spicy.
Two such dishes are the prawns sauteed in garlic and chilli flakes as well as the clams that has a touch of cili padi.
“It is interesting to somewhat localise the menu. Some people may be afraid of spicy food but most come to love the dishes and frequently dip breads into the dish’s leftover broth, sauce or oil,” he said, adding that the food was mostly Mediterranean influenced.
Cosy: BuBu is attached to Hotel Rae along Tengkat Tong Shin, KL.
Another highlight at BuBu is Le Chateaubriand, a grilled beef tenderloin that is generally about two to three inches thick.
“Generally, beef should be more than half an inch thick so that it does not lose its flavour when cooked. This is because thinly cut beef will lose its juices quicker,” Ramirez explained.
Due to its size, care is needed when cooking the Chateaubriand to avoid overcooking the outside while the inside remains raw.
At BuBu, the meat is roasted and turned occasionally in a charcoal grill and is best served medium-rare for that tender taste of good beef with a pink centre accompanied by fries.
To accompany the meal, Ramirez said the restaurant also has a wine list with “a little bit of everything”.
“We have a good selection of French and Spanish wines and also carry some Argentinian, Chilean, Italian, New Zealand and South African wines,” he said.
To go with the seafood, Gonzalo recommends a sauvignon blanc with low acidity while steaks should be taken with more round wines that are generally Old World with less fruit and more balanced.
He also said that wines from the region of Alsace in France, near the border or Germany, which is made from the Gewürztraminer grape are also usually favoured by Asians due to its fruity-floral bouquet.
“We have a 2008 vintage here. It is quite full bodied, more so than most other white wines. It has a floral scent and exotic lychee-nut flavour and deep-oily texture which makes it irresistable to many palates,” Ramirez said.

THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT, 201102/03/2011 - 01/22/2012 (Metal)
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22, 2012.

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.
According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.
The Sign of the Rabbit
People born in the Year of the Rabbit share certain characteristics: Keen, wise, fragile, tranquil, serene, considerate, fashionable, and kind. Generally, they are quite calm, do not exhibit aggressive behavior, and will avoid confrontation at all costs. When angry about something, they will approach it calmly and considerately, hardly ever raising their voice. And they are quite keen and pay close attention to the situations developing around them. They are intelligent and quick, and can talk themselves in or out of most situations with no problem.
The Rabbit is a symbol for mercy, elegance, and worship of beauty. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are kind, loving persons, and dislike any hostile act. They give others an impression of being frail-looking because of their gentle appearance. But, in fact they are strong-minded and have strong wills. They pursue their ideals all their lives in a precise and orderly way. They do things slowly and deliberately because of their cautious characters.
There is no need to worry about their lives. They are nimble, clever and good at avoiding harm to themselves. They are talented and like artistic ventures, such as painting and music and are generally quite present in these worlds. They are also very hospitable, good hosts and warm-hearted companions. They never embrace others in public places. They know the art of saving face and giving consideration to the interests of both sides.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are apt to be sensitive to ailments and to have bad allergies. Stress or conflict will detriment their health. Exercise could take off unnecessary stress and strengthen their physical condition. They have to learn to incorporate more action into their everyday routines.
They will become depressed and withdrawn if their homes do not consist of beautiful possessions that make them comfortable. Their homes and offices usually are clutter-free. They have really good communication skills and are best utilized in positions of management. They make great teachers and counselors because they are so diplomatic and well-organized. They can also make great painters or musicians due to their sense of beauty and their love of creativity.
Rabbit people are usually relatively careful when it comes to their finances. They use much of their money for possessions such as their homes, cars or furniture. They love hunting for antiques, arts and crafts and will tend to make sound investments in these types of things.
