The Journey to Pantai Kerachut

Taking some nice view photos around while they two setting up the fishing rods.

Today is Tuesday. Last month when my friend came to KL and visit me to bring him go along KL because he haven't went there before. So at that time he suggested me to go with him hiking to Pantai Kerachut at this week, my holidays. So we plan to call as much people as possible but unlikely there is only my friend and I, two person; Due to the study week of normal school and no one is in hometown. We managed to invite another friend who has no class today, he is Kevin Yeap.

So the day begin with our plan to start our journey at 9.00am in the morning. I borrowed my mum's Kancil so that we can go there easily. I wake up at 8.30am, haha kind of late and I packed up siap and ready at 9.00am. Since my mum bought me roti canai for my breakfast, I have to finish it. After a few minutes, my stomach's worms start to have party in the early morning. It happen twice and delayed our journey to 9.40am. I put all my things in the car and my mum teached me how to lock the car and I set off.

I went to fetch Boo at his house and he brought so many things such as tent, fishing rods, fishing equipments, pail, toilet tissue, sandwich for lunch and e.t.c. the needed things. All are usefull some how. So we went to fetch another friend who is Kevin Yeap. He was out of his patient cause when we reach to his house it was about 10am, 1 hour late. After final check on all the things, guess what we miss the most important thing, the baits. I called my mum and she say there are severals prawns that my uncle used to fish and left over. So I took this chance and bring them on.

On the way to our destination, the snake road.

The Indoor of the hiking

The road to to the forest at the start point

Is was horrible, RM7.00 for the toll of the bridge and for the Touch'N Go only RM5. Dissapointed all cards are less than RM5, hahaha. Is took us around 1 hours to reach to the Penang National Park at Teluk Bahang because carefull driving. We registered with the people incharge at the counter and we off. We start the journey easily, but when it come to the climbing parts it end my life. I bring my big bag and it is too heavy. I was tired and want to vomit maybe because the roti canai I ate in the morning. I changed my bag with Boo and we tried to continue. I stoped every time when climbing to have a deep breath. Dizziness make me felt uncomfortable.

The road to the forest, beside is the sea. Nice view.

They two conspire and told me that we are very near to the shore of the beach, just walk a few minutes more. I was so happy that the beach is just around the corner, but I remebered that I come before once and it is very time to reach there. I believed them and keep on going. As they help me carried my big bag, I was not so tired so I can continuous to walk in. On the way we plan to call a boat to bring us back because I can't walk back anymore, with no exercise for two weeks because of my tennis injury, I was very weak.

They tried to clam me that we are very near now and going to see the sea at any moment, but they are not fooling anyone. I saw a signboard and there write we still have 1320m to go.... Haha. With my endurance, finnaly we make it to the beach. We cross the lake and went down to the beach. Just before we touched the sea water it started to rain. We ran as fast we could to the cottage to escape from the rain.

I was so happy that I make it thru. We set up the tent as to have fun, cause nothing to do there. Than we set up our fishing rods. 3 of use knew nothing with fishing and we tried our best to set it up and fish. Quite satisfied with the results and get no fish because the sea wave is too strong. We decided to spend the time on fishing and also taking photos. Really the sun is just under you. Worst than you step your legs on the ashes. It force you to run on the beach not slow walk because of the hotness of the sand, but if you walk near the water yes it is cold. The weather was not good. It rain and stop, rain and stop. Make us very funny, ran to the beach and tried to fish, than rain ran back to the camp. It for 2 minutes the rain stopped again. We ran to the beach again and fish, it rain again just before 2 to 3 throw.

As I said, we get nothing but experience. We go to the guards and asked them to rent a boat to fetch us back but they said we must have at least of 12 people only they will s bring us or RM100 per trip. It super costly for 3 of use RM100. So last choice is to walk back. Luckily, than from the place we hiked out, 9 youngster came to the beach to have fun also. So we decided to ask them wheather they want to book a boat to went back to the start point. They said they booked a boat will come at 3.30pm and they are happy if we can join them also. One boat maximun can bring 12 persons. So we paid each RM8 for the trip to go home. That was 2.30pm.

We packed up our thing at 2.45pm and went to the washroom to take a wash on our legs and hair. We wear back our sport shose and ready to leave. Just about time 3.30pm after we came out from the washroom the boat came. We headed to the boat directly and wear our life jacket. The boat driver said the wave of the sea will be strong, so maybe we will get wets. I sit on the first place with my friend Kevin. Boo have to sit with the driver because there is no more place infront. Really the boat climb and sink, very fun and enjoy, no sea sick. Than the boat slow down and we get to watch lizards on the rocks as they told us is a small crocodile.

We went back to the shore and direct leave the island because if 5pm, the Penang bridge will jamed and we will need to go back at around 8pm to avoid jam. Some how 3 person is not bad, but a bit scary when in the forest. Haha, we saw monkeys and we walk as fast as possible to avoid they come and take aways some of our staffs. The day ended with full of joy. My plan for the next trip is to bring as many people as posible to join about 10 to 12 persons. Than we can start a fire on the beach to barbecue, fishing, making some castles, take photos around and many more.

Thai Food

Yesterday, 3rd of May 2009. My father brought us to eat at the same old stall where my sister learn dancing on top of the restaurant. It was raining by the time we reached there and full with customer. So my father plan to bring us go to eat Thai food which I haven't been there before.

We arrived there at 7pm. I and found that the design of the restaurant is unique and yeah some Thai style. We ordered 4 dishes, and is pretty fast the food served. If we go by a group like 6 to 8, we can order something different. Such as, a jar of fruit juice, a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup and e.t.c.

Haha, the photos I took looked a bit blur because my father want started to eat and I scare he will scold me taking photos on the foods. Hehe

May 1st

Sushi Zanmai Sunway Piramid Outlet

Today is Malaysia public Holiday, and is located at Friday. I will travel back to Penang by train at 8.00pm tonight at Sentral Kuala Lumpur. For the pass 3 weeks, I learned alot than the pass half year. I am very happy that the encouragement that I get was huge than ever. Thanks to Hamdan who was my enginner for pass 3 weeks.

Nothing I want to write about today because is a very hot day and boring day. I will went back to Penang for how many days I'm not sure, depends on my friend. If they want to go some where on this next Saturday than I will be back at Friday. A week holiday will make me go for lazy status. Destroy all the spirit I build up. That was my nightmare and so to other one.

Yesterday we felt boring and we went to Sunway Piramid before we all went back to hometown. We headed to Sushi Zanmai that one of my friend suggest sushi for us, usually we went to Sushi King; that my favourite!!! The environment they design, yes is very comfortable, dim lights, secrect passage and large area. Haha, there is disadvantages also for this sushi restaurant. The sushi is too soft instead of making the sushi with tight rice to the materials. My friend tasted the rice with chicken and they said: Is tasteless..... What so funny is the wasabi I tasted.

Here is some of the photos of yesterday.

The Yesterday

In the bus going back to college.

In the bus, waiting for the others. Chatting in the bus is freak out.

Yesterday when I wanted to update my blog, suddenly an unknown object flew into my eye. This is the second time I had this problem, and it make me feel agony. Eye is a sensitive part of the human being, and also the most important. The one who does not have eyes, for them the world is a darkness, not even black and white.

The first time it happen last end of the year if I not wrong. That was horrible when I was riding a bike and on the way to send my friend home. In the highway, it come a part where lights are limited and there was the FOD flew into my eye. This is also my fault because I used my previous helmet which the visor was broken. His house quite near so i decided not to went into the house and take my new helmet, I used the old one.

I struggled for almost an hour and that does not help me either. My uncle woke up and saw I am suffering, so he try to help me. Yes it help, because the FOD had move down to my lower part of my upper eye brow. So when I flip my eye brow, my uncle saw a small little tiny black dot. He use a soft paper and make it not sharp, and put into my eye and try to take it out when I pull up my eye brow. Yes finnaly, the FOD was removed. I feel so happy and tired.

This time, the FOD is stuck more further inside the eye brow, flipping the eye brow make no different because it really to dept inside. That was yesterday. My friend told me to put my head in the water and clip my eyes in the water, flip my eye brow, use a tissue and move in, let a draining water to drain in and sleep. After trying so many methods, I finnaly choose sleep because it already took me one hour and is 1am yesterday.

It kind of paintfull when close my eyes, because the FOD scratch on my cornea. In the early morning, thank God it come out it self. When I washed my face, there is a small FOD on my face and I guess that was the FOD. I so happy it came out but I have an headache because I only sleep 5 hours.

This is what I found in the nose landing gear of the B777-200. I not sure the main purpose.

In the avionic room and found a magic box which have so many magic wands.
