It’s a sunny day, there were 12 + 2 of us went to tanjung sepat on 11 april 2009, we departed from subang at around 8+am, reached there by liz provided route map, quite accurate though, we leaded all the way to tanjung sepat and we made a few U-turns, first was… in coincidence, toilet break. haha, don’t think the other 2 cars knew about it. but finally we reached there around 9+am… just in time for their famous bakuteh.

…to be continued.

photo took at lover’s bridge (polaroided me, cheeheng, dom, andrew and yan)

In the afternoon, after the street walking, we actually had plenty of time to visit around. Took a lot of photos in the papan house, then came to visit this.. one by one….

The bridge: Jambatan Gantung Kolong Pahat Sg. Lembing

cheeheng & kokwai.

cheeheng, aivy and andrew.

This connecting both sides residents. Lembing mee factory is just across the river.

i like kokwai’s cap. haha X.X

The heritage: Muzium Sungai Lembing

a nice place to….

An evening walk: Kampung life

Going up to take a deep breath, fresh air~ this is just behind of our home stay for the second day, but a lot of mosquitoes.

meow~ cat enjoying sunbathing on the roof top.

The BIG group: Sungai Lembing Tour 2009

group photo, 25 of us. V^.^V

Here we reached to the bottom of the hill (time on my watch: 8+am), which we called this “Pasar”, the small little town, Sungai Lembing.

Street walking: Pasar Sungai Lembing

Hunger. now we heading to pasar for food. The weather was so nice, sunny, shinny day~ blue sky, white clouds… but hot & sweats, eeew….

see 3 of them… towels round their neck + holding DLSR, walking passed Java Street.

these were really early birds. My advice, please don’t walk underneath…

aivy and andrew look so professional.

Hardly to have 4 of us in the photo.

the reflection on a local car.

uncle on hands free set.

wow, i like this. very colourful window panels…

Lembing kid.

“wanna fight?”

so.. classic.

natural shot - cheeheng

not that natural shot, but nice smile~

not too sure what they doing there.. haha. can see how playful are the city boys.

The next day.
When: woke up at 4 in the morning
What i did before the sunrise: took a cold bath (山水浴), brush my teeth， drank a cup of milo
What to bring?: 1. Torch light 2. towel 3. insect repellent 4. camera 5. a bottle of water 6. empty mind (as told by kokwai)

Morning walk: Panorama Hill

It was a jam. We didn’t expect that such a huge amount of people going up to the hill. Really *people mountain people sea (人山人海)*
It took me around 45 minutes - 1 hour to reach the peak. It is consider a pleasant walk way compare to Broga hill. It was still.. very dark.

kokwai was setting up his camera, early bird found their best spot for shooting.

testing.

*sweet*

never seen such an amazing sunrise before, just infront of me, so near and it was so warm and beautiful.

like painting~

now u can see how jammed it was. hehe… going down to the hill.

next stop… heading to pasar.

Another hiking + photography trip.
Where: Sungai Lembing (林明), Northwest of Kuantan Pahang
When: 7 - 9 March 2009
Who: 25 of us in this trip, including me, cheeheng, kokwai (the organiser), benchin, andrew, aivy, ah fai, sherrina, behn… and a lot more.

First visit: Gua Charas

we reached this cave right after our lunch at kuantan town. This is not as big as Gua Tempurung, but also quite tiring. coz rabbit seldom do exercise, hehe. *sweat*

on the way up to the cave. *woooow*

Scene looking out from the cave.

tree trunk inside the cave.

Actually nothing much there, a cave that last time they did some tin mining, and there is a sleeping buddha in it.

Second stop: Check in hotel (rumah kampung)

25 people squeezed into a single storey “bungalow”? with a sharing of 1 toilet+bathroom? erm… we were actually thinking, how many minutes should set for each to shower?

after we back from gua charas, the roof of the house was leaking everywhere, coz rain quite heavily after the cave visit. not more than an hour, kokwai has decided to rent another house and shift half to there… *we are the lucky one* hehe

here we reached the rumah papan.

cute little door… main entrance of the papan house. in this small little town, pretty safe, coz landlord “the auntie” actually didn’t provide us any lock or key for the house and rooms, we these city boys and gals were quite worried about this.. now i know we actually living in such an insecure life everyday. *i miss lembing…*

kokwai, benchin and ah fai stayed in this room. the lights were from our room. it’s just looks like my grandpa house at batu pahat. *i miss batu pahat..*

wow, found hen lay eggs here… so cool, this is the first time i saw the eggs that still laying on the “nest”. i have no idea why the chicken here so cincai, simply lay eggs, that’s actually on top of a stool or cupboard and lots of junks around. *bad mama*

at the back yard of the papan house. *happy* - this photo taken from kokwai

to be continue…

we’ve got a day complimentary premier suite from Parkroyal KL, it supposed to be on the wedding nite, but we’ve postponed it.

when we first got into the room 1823, it was… “WOW!” all the way from the bathroom, to the bed, the wardrobe, to the living hall, and a small working space.. so spacious… so modern and so many….”mirrors”.. haha

besides just staying in the room having a fruit basket, (actually we were quite disappointed, why don’t have champagne+strawberries?) we can also enjoy the privilege of Parkroyal Orchid Club, that inclusive of,
- buffet breakfast for the next morning
- afternoon snacks from 12pm to 5pm (free flow of non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day)
- evening cocktail from 6pm to 7.30pm (free flow of alcoholic beverages)
- complimentary internet access in the room and at Lounge (but i didn’t bring my laptop)
- priority late check out request
- and normal facilities provided by parkroyal
- 25% discount of all restaurant/bar at parkroyal

* this is part of the Orchid club… very comfy and cozy…

we just felt.. we were so VIP on that 2 days 1 night stayed.

as usual.. shopping is our main priority and.. Pavilion was our first stop, i brought darling to Mezze, Tangs for an afternoon tea, with some fine mediterranean dishes. the food and drinks are great! you guys must try yea….
this was my second visit, first was with my sister, sitting at another corner, this time we chose to sit on upstairs, half level up.. a special platform with richer decoration and mood.

from Pavilion we walked to Starhill gallery, hunt for dinner place… the Walkway from Marriott to Starhill, it’s still the same like few years back, the lights are still changing from white to yellow, green, blue and purple…

ended up we had our dinner at orchid club for free, filled with some snacks and fruits with a cocktail drink. After that we went to L’Opera (we’d been here early of this year) for another drinking session, i had ordered my all time favourite, virgin mary and a starter, fried calamari… a whole night chat with darling.

we had a great KL trip, met few old friends… ate a lot…. and i bought a new heels at charles & keith.. keke.
