Post 144: Sg. Lembing

Had heard about the natural beauty of Sg. Lembing for many years. Is one of the popular attraction for natural scene and relax place...


 Of course, they are right, it is really a peaceful and beautiful place. We reach hill top about 7am, ngam ngam  timing to catch for sunrise. :D


 Morning scenery was perfect. Cloud sleep on the forest, create moment of peace and relax feeling for me... I love it.  


 But what excited me even more.... Rainbow Waterfall. It require modified 4 wheels drive by "professional" to drive the truck. 1 1/2 hours drive up....very bumpy and adventurous ride...


Once we reach end of driving track, we need to cross over to wist height river to make it to the waterfall. 


After crossing river, we need to walk cross the forest for another 1 1/2 hours to reach Rainbow Waterfall. It was a challenging walk due to slippery rocks and uneven land tracks. We need to be extra careful especially when we need to walk to wet rocks. Below photo is the starting point of our walking journey.


It was worth it. Hard and tired 1 1/2 hours drive and 1 1/2 hours walk was worth it. I can start notice the waterfall from distance because it is a very tall waterfall... I think it must be around 10-15 floors height.


It was a very cooling place with fresh clean water. Of course I went over to a swim and enjoy the waterfall. Too bad that day, sun was not there for us to show us rainbow...


Thanks for Kenneth, for organizing it for us. Thank you!!!

Post 69: Layang - Layang

Can you remember when is your last time playing with fly kite?

Is been so long since I played this game. The feeling is like 7 or 8 years old behind Kelana Jaya old house padang and I actually fell down while running with it...


I had one when in Kelantan this year. When I saw some van is selling it, I did not hesitate at all to buy one and fly it under the hot sun. Anyway, it's only cost me RM 5/pc so ....what the heck...

It was really a hot sun that day and I can hardly open my eye looking at the kite... still it is a memorable things I want to recap for awhile during this holiday.
Doing this on the sea side is really not that bad. You can still get some strong wind occasionally to cool down and flying kite on beach side is extreamly easy due to strong wind.
and at the end of it, try take a coconut drink on the beach side...grab some snack... sit back and relax...

Life can be so good....simple and enjoyable...most importantly...it is cheap!!!

Post 67: Waterfall

22nd February, 2010; Damansara; Post 67:
While going back to Paka hometown during this year CNY, i sneak out and explore further on town Paka, see what is there around this town have as holiday spot.

Thanks to a group of friends meet at the Chemurong Waterfall, they brough me into deep forest and it takes about 1 hour walk to reach top to see this magnificant waterfall...it is a giant waterfall.

As the stone is very slippery , it takes extra care to go into the waterfall to enjoy cooling water. But it worth every moment we suffer to get here. This waterfall have great spot to relax and enjoy natural beauty.
It actually take 1 hour ride from Paka town to main entrance to Chemurong, 1 hour walk in the forest before arrive to this waterfall. It is a tired trip, especially walking in the forest, so definately need to prepare well before walking into it.
Glad I did it and surely will come back again!!!

Post 66: 2010 Chinese New Year

19th February, 2010; Kota Bahru; Post 66:

Paka, a small fish village town 1/2 hours away from Kijal, 1 hour away from Kemaman & 4 hours drive from KL. Not much of development in this small town but surely it is one of my fovourite place for sleep and relax. In here, there is no hypermarket, no cinema and no shopping center at all!!!
For a city boy like me, resting at the beach side is my favourite as there is none in KL. Sit down on sand, enjoy sea breeze, sea wind blowing and clear my mind for awhile... It is one of the best reflexilogy for me!!!

Paka alone will give you 2 good spots for beach side. One along the town and another is Pantai Kemasik. These 2 beaches is most regular beach side I visit when I am back there for holidays. At Pantai Kemasik, local government had build some infra structure for camping or BBQ. So there is slightly more visitor there as compare to the Paka beach side.

Another nearby beach side is in Kemaman, Kuala Beach Side. Obviously all these beach side will be much cleaner, and more natural, as it is still not so commerciallize comparing with others. Furthermore, along the sea coast, there is few wooden restaurant set up serving local delights. So while you sit down and enjoying sea view, you can still order ABC & Keropok Lekor to try.

One of my favourite food in Paka in Nasi Minyak served with Chicken Rendang. It is consider a very oily food but I think good food normally not healthy food, right??!!! :P

This is Keropok Lekor and it is best eat when hot. Looks can be pretty ugly but taste is fantastic!!!

Satar. I am not sure what is the meat use for this but it does taste good for me too. I can eat this 10-20 pc, easily. Each very small piece only.

Can remember what is the name for this but it is also another local food. It is like Chee Cheong Fun serving with coconut milk with sambal belacan. By reading description, it is totally the wrong food combination but this is actually my mum's favourite food and I think is most Pakaians favourite food too. :D

It is a great getaway place for mind clearing and relax. Getting away from city life, away from traffic jam and away from daily hassel. As the normal Chinese said: Resting is for walking further!!!

Post 31: Git Git Waterfall

November 10, 2009: Damansara: Post 31:


If I have to choose 1 of the best visited places in Bali, it's gonna be this...


Git Git Waterfall on Northern side of Bali.



It is a very tall waterfall with alot of small stone along the river. It is pretty diffucult to walk through the river with unsteady leg but it is still managable if can be cafefull.


The river water splash into the rock so hard that it creates small water bubble that makes you wet even you are not near to it. Somehow, I enjoy staying and staring on the waterfall, as if it clear my mind for awhile... :P

Further more, the water is really cold and clean. I wash my face there and walked around the river for couple of photo post.

Anyone going to Bali soon should try to make a trip to this place, prepare some junk food, sit and chat for couple of hours shoul be very relaxing.

Post 29: Scare like shit!!!

November 8, 2009; Subang Jaya; Post 29:


I did not expect myself to do this when in Bali...this is totally something unexpected...
While we were visiting Bedegul, we saw someone having Parasailing and it looks fun!!! So i went and ask how much per ride. Surprisingly, it is pretty cheap as compare with doing it in Malaysia. Rp 75,000 (RM 27). Without any further thinking, I decide to take 1 ride...

1st quention from the instructor is "how heavy are you???"...and I was like "huh??!!! 103 kg...bolehkah???" ...Not sure what they discuss among others but eventually, they equipment me and give me some basic instruction what to do when on air.

During the briefing, I'm still ok, nothing to fear about as I did not think too much how this ride will be....

Just everything is ready to go....that is the moment where I start to feel...

"1, 2, 3...lari lari!!! lari lari!!!"...and go go go...thank god, i am on the air and my weight did not pull me down to the lake!!

Hanging there for about 5 minutes, it is really scary but it is also a very exciting feeling. Wind blows around you and it will swing me left and right...the feeling is really "dangerous". During that 5 minutes, I try to enjoy the ride as much as I can eventhough I am dam scare up there.

So glad I make it to the ground in 1 piece!! Hand was shaking when it is over as I was pulling the steel bar too long, too hard.

So, lesson of the day, Think before you act or you might pee on your pants!!! haha...:D
