Our first trip - Malacca

That's our first and memorable trip in Malacca ~ We had a good times there during Malaysia Day long weekend holiday as we drove down and walked around the town for local yummy food, picture taking, shopping, bowling and sights-seeing from day break till night fall. Well, that's also my first time ever trying out many local food (other than satay celup and chicken rice ball), such like pork satay, beef noodle, popiah with 'chi yau jar', nonya stuffs and more... that i never been doing that whenever i was in Malacca many times before.

Thanks to my little sweetheart brought me around as we jalan-jalan around the town till midnight hours... arrrr.. so nice ^^  We had our moments there and were truly enjoyed this short trip ~~

Skytrex canopy walk

It was nice to be back to Bukit Cerakah in Shah Alam again for canopy walk last weekend. As i could remember, i was there once many years ago for hiking trip and the Skytrex-Adventure is not there yet. Waking up in the early morning was bit terrible as i was only slept for 4 hours after Bon Odori event but somehow i managed to reach there at 8am morning as scheduled. 

I still enjoyed with the walks with many different kind of mid level challenging walk at 21m (about 70 feet) height from the ground though i did that at extreme level few times in somewhere. It was good to be there, good to enjoyed myself and captured some nice shots and it was also glad to see someone just wanted me to sing her a song before she could jumped-off from a tree platform to another each time... :-)  

Makan Trip (Teluk Intan-Ipoh)

I had been to many places for makan trip but Teluk Intan (formerly known as Teluk Anson) was my first time there in last weekend. I used to think it's just a small town and famous with 'chue chiong fun' and 'hiong piang' but surprisingly it's not really small as i thought when i reached there... quite a big town indeed (Bandar Teluk Intan) and i think it is developed a lot ever since as almost all local banks have branches there including foreign bank - HSBC.


Surely, i won't see high rise building around and average height of all building around is about 4-5 floors only. The highest building in Teluk Intan surely is its landmark leaning tower (about 7-8 floors height) as it just like Italy's Pisa tower that lean to one side. That's nothing special about the tower as highest floors visitors could go is up to 2nd floor only. Apart trying the famous 'chue chiong fun' at night time, other food like their local 'bak kut teh', rojak and seafood and also staying late watching Champion League final live at McDonalds. And also not forgetting Ipoh 'nagr choy kai', white coffee and karya puff on the following day.

It was real tiring drove all the way there with another friends's car after having 4 hours sleep, but i was truly enjoyed the 'ho chiak' makan trip. I'm now planning for the second makan trip (series 2) and all makan kaki friends are now waiting for it. The next 'Ho Chiak' trip is most likely is Ipoh-Penang route and will be staying over night in Penang... ~~

Earth Hour @ SkyBar

Having heard many comments from friends and forums lately talking about how good is the KLCC Twin Towers viewing from SkyBar. I went there  for drinks and photo taking with friend of mine last weekend. The place wasn't really big as i thought, it could be the long swimming pool as the center of attraction is taken most of the space and the pool only can be used by the hotel guests. Both sides of the pool are surrounded by drinking tables & the sofas seatings desk, which has the nice viewing at the twin towers from the glass windows. The walk way between the pool and the sofa seating is quite narrow, chances are... people may fall into the pool easily due to low lightings visibility. I was worried to get myself tripped into the pool while walking through it (pheeewww.....).

Unlike Luna Bar (nearby to KL Tower), there's no outdoor viewing area in there as the place
is a entirely closed-up indeed. Moreover tripod is not allowed to be used inside but camera only as advised by the bar officer. We couldn't get the nice sofa seating as it was all fully taken by the time we reached. Anyway, we still got a table next to glass windows with twin towers view but it was just too close to the entrance, which giving me a problem taking shots because of the reflection lighting bounced from the glasss (what da hell.....). Nevertheless, i still managed to snap some pictures with different settings before the Earth Hour got  started, and we saw the twin towers got lights-off and blackout finally.

Well, it would be very nice place for drinks if we were seating at the sofa seating cubicle to enjoy the towers view and taking pictures at the best angle without disturbance of reflection lightings. Even so, we enjoyed our times there before we left for dinner. Will try to get sofa seating next time if i ever come by again.

Broga Hill (士毛山)

It was nice moment climbing up Broga Hil last Sunday with friends while having my newly bought SLR camera for photo shooting up there l. Problem is... we got to leave home at 4.30am early morning (damn early) just 3 hours sleep as we need to be there in time to catch the sunrise view. We reached there about 6am and started hiking all the way up to the peak and that toke about 30mins duration.

Well, there wasn't only one peak up there but three to be exact, one after another and higher. It was getting dawn by the time we reached 2nd peak, but it's just too bad as I couldn't find a good angle for sunrise scene when i reached 3rd peak. I got to turn back alone all the way back to 2nd peak for better location. We just stayed up there for rest and taking group photos before we left for Tekala Waterfall about 30mins drive from Broga Hill. It was a truly fun trip and i enjoyed hill climbing and photo shooting up there. More pictures are on my FB photo album ~~

Melaka day trip

Melaka town... 'Eye On Malaysia', Pahlawan Square, satay celup at Jln. Ong Kim Wee and 'The Jetty'. Apart from satay celup place, at least there's three new places to see ever since my last trip was about 3-4 years ago. Sounds bit funny to embark on the EOM in Melaka as i could have been done that while it was in KL earlier on.  It was nice (RM10 with air-cond cabin) to try with about six rounds of rolling but too bad as there was nothing much town view to see when it got to the top.

Bagan Lalang

Bagan Lalang is a coastal beach in Sepang district of Selangor state, it is the nearest beach from Klang Valley. This flat and seems long beach is popular spot for camping and picnic activities. According to official direction guide, driving from KL to the beach is taking 1 hour 15mins but i managed to get there in about 50mins with help from GPS locate device, by using Putrajay/Cyberjaya highway -> Sepang -> Sg.Pelek route.

It was sunset and low tide about 7pm, the beach was packed with people but it's hardly see any Indian, about 5% Chinese visitors and the rest are Malays. It could be the nature of surrounding areas are 'kampung' (Malay village) that probably made this beach as their usual 'hang-out' place for picnic, camping or jalan-jalan. During that hour, it was nice to walk as far out as possible towards seaside to enjoy the sea view.

Along the beach, there's lots of Malay seafood stores and mostly started to get crowded by dawn. Seafood stuffs such like 'Ikan Pari Bakar', 'Ketam Bakar', prawns.. etc are considered cheap, five dishes were only charged RM48.80 ! Imagine, it will only cost you around RM100+ for ten dishes... well, don't think can find anywhere in town. Surely, another difference is the Malay cooking style as it's really different from Chinese cooking. Some people especially Chinese may not able to enjoy the food because of the ways of cooking but I was fine with that anyway.

In overall, this beach has no interesting spots to check out nor any best seafood store to try out, but it is a nice place for relaxing, unwind, and 'blow-blow' wind when walking on the sands just like the pictures shown.

Short Genting trip in CNY (Day 1)

I didn't feel like go out on first day of CNY just because of the real damn hot sunny day and it would rather to be at home for TV programs and rest until sundown. That's none better things to do than going to somewhere cooler in weather like this, so i was up in Genting Highlands for drinks after dinner and spent few hours there trying to 'discharge' my heat.

Well, weather in Genting was seems clear without foggy and temperature wasn't that chilly as i just went up in polo t-shirt with bermuda short outfit, while traffic was smooth when driving up that time. Although I felt tired while driving back to town around 3am but it was fun to be there to get 'refreshed' and 'blow-blow wind' up there. Oh what a night and what a nice trip !

A night at funfair - Euro Fun Park

I went to this funfair about two weeks ago and it's just located next to Bukit Jalil stadium. If i can remember it was held next to Jusco-Tebrau City in JB about two year ago but i didn't have much spare time for that when i was there. Well, the overall funfair setup was not really impressed at all especially those lousy game booths and chances are, a doll is given for winning prize mostly doesn't matter it's small or big one...if u're lucky enough to win it (sucks man !). Anyway, i saw some of the fun rides that could make people screaming and yelling like hell when it turned them upside down non-stop. The most relax ride was the 'Euro Wheel' that i could rest and enjoyed the higher view of entire funfair site.
