Picnic At Sungai Kemensah

My eldest son said, "ma, tak payah pergi cuti mahal-mahal. Bawa kami pergi picnic mandi sungai lagi best. Jimat, tak membazir duit" A very mature and considerate words from my 13years old son. Dang it, tiba-tiba mata masuk habuk pula...

Oh well, couldn't say more since he is totally correct. Why spending $$$ money when we can have fun and quality time with our family with just $$. So 2 weeks ago we went to picnic at Kemensah River which located at Kampung Kemensah Ampang, nearby Zoo Negara. I just found out about this picnic tho, lol!

We drove off from Puchong at 8am and arrived there around 8.45am and managed to secure a strategic picnic spot with Celi Chalet/Campsite with RM15 fee. Yep, it's not free like Sungai Congkak but it's okay because unlike Sungai Congkak, the area is clean, well maintain and necessity such as toilet and changing room with shower are provided. There are huts and chalets priced between RM20-RM120 for those who want to stay overnight. Oh ya, they also provided Bbq equipment with reasonable price or you can make you own bbq table, ngehehe!

huts and chalets

We played and soaked in the water for almost 2 hours before the coldness beat me off and forced my youngest son and me to retreat and changed into dry clothes. Orang keding cepat kesejukan ba. By the time we were about to drove off back home, the place is starting to get super-crowded. Luckily we were early or else I might not able to join hubby and kiddos in the water since I tend to feel awkward and uncomfortable with crowd of people who normally 'stare', pheww!

we were freezing!

soaking like a hippopotamus, lol!

Compulsary wefie!

Hubby said, next time will set our 'date' here so that we can try those ATV ride adventure that they offered there (*finger crossed). Only adult aged 18yrs above allowed to ride ATV, so can't bring kiddos next time.

posing pun jadilah..hahaha!

Overall, it was one of our cheap but fun picnic trip for our family and I don't mind repeating it over and over again because it's one of method of exposing the kids to love nature.

Happy Kaamatan Day 2013

Hello peoples!

Langkawi Trip Mission : Finale

As promised, I am gonna post the last part of Langkawi Trip.. Less words, more pictures, hopefully (*winking)..

The journey continued where I went to swim at the Tanjung Rhu Beach because less people there and really have a great time there. 

The sunny Tanjung Rhu Beach

Loves The sky!

Awkward SelCa..LOL

After that went to Kuah Town again and explore the Lang Square, Legend Park and  Jetty Point & the duty free shop again.

Peace! Snapped this pic from Jetty Point

Another awkward SelCa :P

More Awkward Selca

Taking this pic after swimming at Cenang Beach

Last sunset at Cenang

Also spent lots of time shop-hopping, searching & comparing price before buying souvenirs (T-shirts, perfume and chocolates) and walking at the beach at night time and listen to the sea breeze. On the last day at Langkawi, managed to trek all the way up to the Telaga Tujuh. I love jungle-trekking so much! Overall it was a very memorable trip I have ever had! I cherished every single minutes I spent here. 

Next post, I am going to share about the place I stayed during my trip to Langkawi. Not sure when but stay tuned... Have a nice day you all!

P/S : Want to upload more pics but lots picture I snapped using the digital camera turned blurry and I don't have idea why :((

Langkawi Trip Mission : Part 2

Took me a while before I can update again hey :) It's just that I m bit busy  and occupied with other matter (*sigh). Let's continued from the last cliff-hanger of my trip to Langkawi last February...

On the 3rd day, managed to explore the west area of Langkawi; hiked up to Telaga Tujuh, walking around the Oriental Village while waiting for our turn to ride the famous Langkawi Cable Car Telaga. Can you believe that we have to wait for 2 hours before our turn (maybe because it was peak season huh? ) then queue up for approximately another 45min before we finally had our ride but the wait worth it because of the magnificent view from up there (*smile). I remembered how I grabbed the lady's thigh beside me when the cable car suddenly stopped and for quite sometime!! I bet I might looked as white as chalk (*LOL). Luckily it moved again after 5-10min hanging there..phewww! A bit disappointed because the Skybridge was closed for maintenance. I was out of luck..I know (*sigh again).  Later in the evening, managed to catch the sunset view at Telaga Harbor Park & Kok Beach. At night, went to Kuah Town and did shop-hopping at the duty free shop there. 

Malu2 posing :P

The waterfall really nice

The Seven Well - There were 7 small well-looked alike

Boleh tahan la this place

The pass to ride the cable car & the cable car

Muka excited, before the cable stopped - poor lady on my left, became the victim of my hands (LOL)

Under Maintenance again..

Okay, mikirayou for a while because an handsome guy help snapped the pic for me :P

The Harbor, before and after sunset..

That's all for now.. Don't want to promise when can post the next part, the finale one but will try to finish selecting and editing the pics then upload it the soonest possible (*finger crossed). 

Good Night everyone!

Langkawi Trip Mission : Part 1

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late update about this so-called solo trip of mine.. I know you all are so keen to hear about it right? (*silakan muntah...LOL).

I guess all of you already know where was my destination right? Yep, Langkawi! I choose this Island because I never been there and always wanted to go there but never got the chance.

I departed from LCCT at 1930hrs and reached Langkawi around 2010hrs and have to wait until 9.30pm for  my host - Kak Zue (hotel/room owner) to fetch me at the airport only to inform me that there was some mistake and I have to stay at her friend homestay for 1 night! Ok, I was shocked but at the same time grateful because she solved the problem and more thankful because I have a place to stay that night.. Cobaan on my 1st night in stranger place (*sigh)...

Free Map given by the car rental agency booth at the airport. It became my best friend during this trip :)

The next day, my original plan to go to Gunung Raya cancelled because I have to check out from Kak Zue's friend homestay and check in to my room at her place. So, I went to have a look at Pantai Cenang 1st and as what I read from reviews / blogs, this area was super-packed! The beach was fully occupied by foreigner who trying to get sun-tanned and also the locals. So was the hotel in this area!  All was fully booked until 15th Feb! There were not much I did on that 1st day but window shopping at the Cenang Area and later went to Kota Mahsuri and  the Monday Night Market to buy dinner..

This is the only area that less crowded at Pantai Cenang

Monday Night Market

I look fat in this pic..I loike..Oh My English! :P

Next day, drove to Gunung Raya with intention to do some hiking or trekking but this plan also aborted because of the warning from local people about snake that going down the mountain during dry season plus the car was running out of fuel..HMPPPFFF! kecewa lagi! However,  managed to cover area such as Black Sand Beach, Telaga Air Hangat, Durian Perangin Waterfall and Wildlife Park on that day. So terubat juga la kekecewaan di hati :P 

View from midway of Gunung Raya

I snapped this cute hungry monkey on the way back to the main road (at least)

Posing on the black sand :D

Hahaha.. Childish hey!

Posing dulu before doing the easy trekking to the waterfall

Pics of the waterfall

At the wildlife Park.. Hmmm, the park was as boring as the worker expression ..LOL!

Soaking my feet in the lukewarm water.. Not really as lukewarm as Poring tho :P

It's past 10pm now, so that's all for now.. To be continue in part 2!.. Hopefully will post it by tomorrow night? (*wink2)..

Oh ya, before you all started kutuk2 my 'fugly' pics, please be inform that I am no professional photographer and all pics took by my phone camera and also borrowed Olympus digital camera ok.. Wait till I have usin will buy those expensive DSLR  (*wink2).

Good night everyone!
