Spot anything? It's cat's eye.

Look....a hot chick standing there. Can't see?

I guess this one is the human face. Opps...sorry for the stand blocking view.

KFC drumstick. Hungry?

We didn't feel hot or sweating in the cave as inside the cave, there's "natural air cond". The air from the outside of the cave got into the cave. Hmmm....science fact.

Going down the staircase.

Group photo ^^

Spot volcano inside the cave. LOLLL

We are waiting.

See...everyone waiting their turns. Waiting for what? Check the next photo.

To get down the slope. Wuhoo...so adventure! Sliding down slowing.

Then get down to the river. More adventure to come.

Yay! Everyone is adventurous enough. Let's pose for a photo.

Yay! Everyone get wet. We need to crawl under the limestone like soldiers. *extra careful as you may knock by the stones.

Yay again! We completed our second time Gua Tempurung expedition.

Last group photo of the day. ^^

Tanjung Sepat, Bagan Lalang @ Sepang Gold Coast

 Tanjung Sepat is a small fishing village located at Kuala Langat district of Selangor. Last few months, went there with my sisters and brother. This place is becoming tourist attraction with the openings of seafood restaurants and various tourist spots.

I had been hearing from my friends about the resorts that were built on top the water. So eager to have a look. Thus, my sister brought me here. We went there around 10am and reached around 1130am. We dropped by the dragon fruits farm first. 

Your's truly.

Law & Onn's farm

Can you see how reddish those dragon fruits. It's so sweet tasted with the pink purple colour appearance.

They do sell other fruits and some home made jams and honey as well.

After resting for a while, we continue our journey to Sepang Gold Coast. It was a sunny day that I was worried of sun burns. FML.

It was weekend, and there were so many people especially small kids. Making sand castle, playing with water and kites. It was so happy to see the family having their picnic there. I wondering when was the last time my family has picnic.Will make it one day. I promise.

I love sea. I love beach. I love the sun as well.

Spotted the resort.

I heart beach =)

After spending 2 hours there, we went for our lunch. (No photos taken when I was playing the kite and food. Too busy with the kite and food.)

We headed to the mushroom or so called Ganoderma farm. Bought some of their products. I love the Ganoderma drinks. Ganoderma is good for health as I know cause one of my friend is doing the research of it.

Lover's bridge. Hey!! I should walked  with someone else. Where is my Mr. Right at that time? Wondering! Though it's sunny that day but the wind sooth me out there. Just spent some time there photo-shooting. Not more can do. Unless you asked me to jump into the sea. FYL.

 

 It's around 430pm, my sister brought us to the coffee house where the shop owner make their coffee powder. There are several steps taken to produce a fragrant coffee. *Sorry, I don't drink coffee, so I don't get to taste the coffee. Unless it's Starbucks. FML again.*

Coffee beans.

Nearby this coffee shop, there is a shop sold buns. The queues were so long that we don't want to wait. As I know, the buns are hand made.

The place gave a some kind of "village feels" as they hand made or home made the foods. It's good if we get to taste the differences of foods between the city life.

It's must be much more healthy. FML.

Till here then.

Borneo Kellybays, Tuaran, Sabah

Last week, I went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to attend Sabahking's convocation. Kota Kinabalu has changed so much after I left there for about a year ago (during my last year convocation). Yet, I still feel Sabah is a nice place to be.

The next day after the his convocation, Sabahking brought me and his family to Borneo Kellybays located at Tuaran, Sabah. Kellybays is one of the most abundant mangrove swamp forest in Malaysia that boasts with the fascinating ecosystem. It is about 40 minutes travel from Kota Kinabalu city.

We walked along the wooden bridge to the waiting special roofed bamboo raft which is the only transportation to cross over the river to Kellybays. Along the way, we noticed there are colourful crabs beneath under the bridge.

Kellybays.

 There are many activities visitors have the opportunity to enjoy. For instances, camping, water sport, cultural show, blow pipes, batik painting and etc.

Snapping photo while waiting for the raft to come from Kellybays.

Our bamboo raft arrived.

It's only took 5 minutes to reach our destination. I have a feeling of total getaway from the hassle of city, KL to relax myself. Stress to maximum for my master research.

I'm enjoy the breeze and sun.

Throw in the cage to catch the crabs.

The interior of the Kellybays' restaurant.

As we reached Kellybays, Sabahking brought me to batik painting area. I painted two batiks. Quite nice. But the photos are not available. While waiting for the batik to dry up, we have a competition with the blowpipe activity. The result, Sabahking win the game. I might said I'm NOT "not talented" in this game, just I don't have the potential to become "sakai". (Sabahking, you know what I mean?)

Other than that, at Kellybays, we can occupied with water sports such as banana boat ride, bamboo rafting, surfing and lots more.

Water skate board-ing.

Not to forget, after half day playing and fooling around, we need to recharge energy and our whetting stomach. Kellybays restaurant serves local delicacies. On the day we went, they served us ala carte of local foods. They also served buffet, according to Sabahking who went there last time with his coursemates. 

Top (left-right): Salad, refreshing water. Bottom: Mushroom sup, rice.

Top (left-right): Sesame chicken wings, curry mutton. Bottom: Sweet sour fish and curry squids.

Top (left-right): Sweet curry chicken, mixed vegetables. Bottom: Banana, watermelon and papaya.

After the lunch, we went for banana boat riding. This is the most exciting game. I fell into the river twice while Sabahking fell thrice. =) It's so funny to see only one of the people fell while the rest is still on the boat.

Here, you can go for many times of banana boat that you want. It's had been included in the payment. Why not get yourself wet enough before going back. 

At 3pm, they served us tea break with teh tarik and roti canai.

My tea break.

Blow pipe area.

Take a rest while enjoying the breeze on the sea, a great moment to be.

Relaxing on the sleeping net.

Bye to Kellybays.

Sabahking checking out the traps that we throw in earlier. We don't manage to get anything.

Kellybays is a nice place to be either with your family or friends. I love Sabah.

Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam

Date: 7/8/2010

Sabahking came over all the way from Muar to fulfill my wish. There had been a long time since I get myself exercise. So, we decided go for cycling session at Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam. It took almost 1 hour plus travel from Bangi. We did lost in somewhere in between XD.

Early morning, we went to have breakfast before we start our journey. 

Breakfast for the day =)

We began our journey after that. Sabahking so concentrated while driving. He is looking for Taman Pertanian while I'm checking the map/ route how to go there. But all failed.

Me again...I'm just too excited that day.

Yay!! Finally we reached there. It's so easy after think back. I will definitely go back again. First time I see people cycle wearing jeans. =P

I just kept on snapping photos while Sabahking examined the pathway in Taman Pertanian. I gave him a photo snap then.

We managed to rent the bicycle. I have not been cycling before. This was my first time. I feel bit reluctant to cycle at first cause I see many youngsters can cycle well. Unexpectedly I manage to cycle for a few meter and stop a while. After a while, I can cycle through out the cycling session =)

Check out sweat and my little red face. So hot!!! The best part was when we are going down the hill slope. Feels so good. But the worst part was when we need to push our bicycle and walked up the hill. That's was so tiring, man!!

Raining half way through our session. Gotta take a break at there. But it's just a while.

The four seasons garden. When we went there, it was summer. I will be there again for winter. I love winter =)

We didn't visited other places as my motive was to visit the Four seasons garden only. Besides, I was so tired for the whole week already. My brain feel so heavy but after the cycling session, I feel much more relax. So, people out there, go for exercise if you feels stress.

Although the cycling session was tiring but I do enjoyed it. Hope Sabahking feels so too. Looking forward for another cycling session with you. Thanks for teaching how to cycle. You makes me love cycle now. XD
