Gua Tempurung caving + Bukit Merah

Presentation for research updates has been done. So can curi-curi update blog pule..hehe..

Wanna share with you the experience of Gua Tempurung caving that me and the friends went a fortnight ago.

So...

We started the journey at 5.30 in the morning while most of other people were still in deep sleep. Stop by at Selayang to fetch a friend and Subuh first and by 9.00, we were ready to rumble. ;)
Just a quick direction for those who wishes to go: from the North-South Expressway, take Gopeng exit and after the toll exit, you'll see the signboards showing directions to Gua Tempurung. Just follow the signs and you'll be there. ;)

There were four tour packages that you can take at Gua Tempurung cave but we took the longest tour of all: The Grand Tour. Well, this was my first experience doing such activities and I supposed it was worth it after all. Both thumbs up!

Well, let some of these pictures do the talking.

Near the entrance of the cave

This picture didn't do justice to real situation.
The white spots were actually seen as shimmering,
glistening spots like what you see on a rock,
full with diamonds yet to processed.

This was nearing the "pit stop". Hehe...

Shoes were already drained with water.

2 pictures above: Typical features of a cave 

Camwhoring after all the "hardships"! ;P

Next destination: Taiping.
Taiping is famous for its yong tau fu and we did not missed the chance to grab one. Cheap and heaven!

Even the ais kacang was cheap! Look at the prices. Geezz..kan best if KL has such cheap foods everywhere...

Later the evening, we hoped to lepak-lepak and snap-snap at that much-publicised Taman Tasik Taiping but since it was near dark at the time, we just went sightseeing around Taiping.


Day 2: Bukit Merah

Before we departed for KL, we went for the Orang Utan Island. Well, that was the initial plan. When we reached there, the prices was not worth it for just a 1/2 hour package, so we topped it up with another two packages that include the Ecopark and Chairlift - Eco Combo Package.
Information on the prices could be found here: Bukit Merah.

To get to the island, you would have to ride a boat.

Well, it wasn't that far though but the scene of mother nature was superb! MashaAllah.

So, here are some pictures of the Orang Utan Island.

 

So after the Orang Utan Island, Eco Park was the next destination. Well, it's actually something like a zoo but slightly smaller. And what do you expect to see none other than just animals? Hehe...It was clear, hot and sunny at the time, so if ambik gambar, sangatla cantik effect die!

After grabbing an ice-cream each, we ride the sky chair pulak. Since the cable for this chair were passing the water theme park, the view and pictures were of course overlooking it. ;)

And so, that's a little bit here and there how the activities went. And this last picture showed the whole team that went for this mini adventure. Heh. We would be arranging activities lagi. If siapa-siapa berminat nak join, feel free to let me know. [Macam pesanan penaja pule. Ceh. ;P ]

Till next update. Salam.

buka puasa..

I haven't had the chance to update this blog these few days - been busy with my project proposal.

Anyway..

I had a very nice buka puasa session last weekend with my loved oneS..(note the capital S..=P )..Went to JW Marriott on Saturday with Mr. S and to a restaurant at KL Tower on Sunday with my family..

Foods in JW Marriott was nice and plentyyyyy (*drool*) - 108 types of traditional foods served + the price was not THAT expensive - though it was a bit expensive to be honest (made a small hole in our pockets..hoho..)

I didn't have the chance to capture pictures on the foods coz my camera was not with me at that time + my phone's battery was running real flat..heh..what a waste! We booked the place quite late, so we didn't get the chance to have a place at the poolside area (which I reckon should be more lively). So all in all, food is good + place is definitely good + ambience is good also + price also very the good one..huhu..Thumbs-up!! Also good because I went there with the ever so lovely Mr. S..*wink* 

Since JW Marriott is located just in front of Pavillion, ape lagi, jalan-jalan in Pavillion lah *smile*. Didn't managed to shop because of time restriction, but managed to get a few necessity items from Clinique only. Though before that, this one Estee Lauder salesgirl really has managed to convinced me to buy their product.. But luckily, the idea of spending nearly RM500 in one go didn't struck me that well..huhu..After jalan2 buang duit tu, we went back..But yeah as expected, the traffic was damn heavy..shesshhh!!! Stuck in the traffic for quite sometime, so reached home quite late..Ape lagi, kena membebel la sikit dgn parents..hohoo..

As per Sunday, my family and I went to d'Tandoor (this is the right spelling I guess) at KL Tower, which served Indian cuisine. There were not much food served - only nasi briyani + nasi putih with less than 10 types of condiments. If you like Indian food or you would like to try something different, then the food served should do well for your taste bud and is good to try. Oh,forget to mention - The reason we went there was because it's my dad's friend restaurant, so t'was a complimentary dining over there..(free foods!!alhamdulillah..hehe..). One good thing about the location of this restaurant was that the surau is just in front of the restaurant (mmg sangat senang utk gi solat lepas berbuke itu) Eh, there was another food served which I missed to put in just now - curry noodles. The curry was nice I shall say. To sum it up, food is ok + location very strategic + ambience ok. About the price, I don't know. 

Well well well, I hope weekend like this could be repeated. How I wish I could turn back the time~~ *sigh*
