day 3~the last day in Lim Ming shan

this is the place where we should at least go on during our heyday!
there is a lot of staircase
i can't remember how long i had walked but finally i reached
wow~
u can't imagine how beautiful the scenery is
sea of clouds on one side and the sunrise on the other side

*last year is gone
there is nothing i can do to change it or improve it
but a brand new year lies ahead
and what will become of it is in my hand!
~ that is what sunrise means to me!*

*happiness grows by sharing it with others*

*acts of love and kindness never dies
in the lives of others
it multiples!*

*grab onto faith, hope ,and positiveness in the midst of adversity*

*love is invincible
many water cannot quench it
nor the floods drown*

*possession things and material doesn't satisfied
happiness comes from heart*

all the times

i like travelling

because i come to learn something

i come to think in a new perspective

a small detail of what happens during my trip

urge me to think about it

perhaps

*it even remind me of somebody

or a small event that happens in my life

someone who helps me in adversity

small evidence that make me realise of something

or even something that make me feel touching

even though for that very short moment

and i will never forget it

because i like memory*

a small detail

even a trivial one

as long i it means something to me

i remember it

all my life

because i care.....

part 2 of day 2 in lim ming shan

Then, we went to three brother cave(gua tiga adik beradik)
the cave is not only made up by limestone
but also granite
it lied at the bottom of bukit Panching

it is a cave of Buddhism

second day in Lim ming shan

The second morning, we woke up at 5 o'clock~
why so early?
because lim ming taufu is so imminent so it sells out very fast
then, we headed to rainbow waterfall
anyone who miss this trip will be repented
with four wheel car
as the road is so crook and uneven
after one and half our on the four wheel car
which is so bumpy
(we sat behind without car's roof, on the floor~they put a lot of cushion)
still, my bone cracked!
haha~
after that, we went up the mountain on foot
 there are a lot of glacis
and it can be quite slippery
after some times
we reached the destination
wow~by the name
rainbow waterfall
is astounding!
i never see so breathtaking scenery before
a rainbow on the waterfall
 that i felt like touching it!

just kinda self-explanatory

haha~that is the four wheel car~ my butt so pain!

look! behind~!

imagine one day you can touch the rainblow by your own hand?

When i was still young
i always had sudden urge to jump up and down when i spotted that semicircular, abound rainbow i n front of me
imagine how wonderful is it!
pointing to my mum
and i always make a lot of wishes
may be it a just a legend and fable that i once heard from my relatives
that the dream will comes true

knowing nothing
i assumed it as magic
when i grown up
learning all about science
i knew that it is only the image of reflection of light on water drplets
i never had that kind of "child-like excitement "anymore
because i know it is not a magic~

but different countries adduce different fable
For Germany, they felt believed to see a rainbow mainly because they believe that
before the end of the world
no rainbow will appear
so the appearance of rainbow ell them that they still have long life to live on
For American, they believe that the rainbow is the "pathway for soul"
In japan, people believe that the rainbow is the "floating bridge of heaven"
whereas the people in hawaii believe that the rainbow is the path to upperworld
that are all beautiful fantasy
but for certain countries
for instance
slavonic people
they discordant with all that idea
it will lead to death
they believe that if you look at the base of the rainbow
it will eventually lead to death
some even said that pointing at the highest point of the rainbow will bring you bad luck
personally
i favored the legend of irish the most
i believe that at the end of every rainbw
there is a pot of fold guarded by the leprechaun
which is mischievous. sly and cunning
he knows to trick the unwitting human out of his booty
i remember the legend is somehow like this
the man who made the leprechaun tell him the whereabout of the valuable
then he tied a ribbon on the bush in the big field
and ask leprechaun not to take it off
 so that he can take the shove lto take the valuable from the shrubbery
but then when he cae back

he realised a; the bushes is tied with red robbon
 and the leprechaun is gone
i like fairytales a lot
no matter how unrealistic it is
there are still a lot more legend on rainbow
like the maiden of rainbow in hawaii
and.....

well, despite all this
i really love the rainbow
its beauty s so spectacular yet it is so transience
just purely it potent and nature beauty
i hardly resist to believe all the fables about it
science?
hardly popped out my mind anymore
haha~
when i saw the rainbow in waterfall
when i stand under the waterfall
it washed away all my agonize and vexation
nothing can derogate the impression of rainbow in my heart

Lim-ming shan trip

lim-ming shan is here!

During Aidilfitri, my family and i went on to another trip in Sungai Lembing

It was a last minutes decision, we flipped through the newspaper and 

the breathtaking scenery attracted us so much!

That moment. we made a decision to climb up the lembing hill, also known as panorama hill

to look at the beautiful sunrise 

as well as the sea of clouds on the other side!

kill 2 birds with one stone?

indeed!

many describe these place as place of heaven!

can we not be attracted then?

moreover, there are also another attractive spot known as rainbow waterfall!

Then, my sister got some phone contact from internet

haven't book any room yet

and somemore it is during Aidilfitri~

we already packed our luggage

my dad already started the engine

and we stared another new journey!

to a fantasy world!

opps~yeah~this is a 3 days 2 night trip!

when we reached the destination, it was almost 3 o clock 

so, we went to the inn~

After we unpacked our luggage, we gathered outside the inn

and the host of the inn was so kind that he volunteered to bring us around

since it was quite late already

we can neither go to panorama hill or rainbow waterfall

and he brought us to the subterranean tin mine area(which is closed!lol) 

it was once paying tribute to sungai lembing as one of the richest manufacture of tin

before the drop of the price of that commodity in 1984

The museum is located at the former residence of the mine manager

the building still retain the british architectural features

Well, the museum gave us a rough idea on the history of mine and its glory day

The sad thing is the mines tunnel is no longer safe for visit

as it is not as stable as before

so, it was closed

The deepest tunnel is Myth tunnel which measured 70o meters below the ground.

Taibeto tunnel is 500 meters

The distance betwwen these 2 tunnel is 30 meters

and the total length of the tunnel is 332 meters

we didn;t make it to the sungai lembing museum which showcase the history of sunterraanean tin mine
located at the old turn-of-the-century town
as it is closed during aidilfitri

we can find a few interestind items there

hmm...

drilling machines~helmet~railway track

bah....

when i looked from outside

that all i can see la~

Then, we headed to the so called diamond house

actually this diamond house is belong to a couple

his hubby has a habit to collect stone

i mean"shiny stone"

before the people here know what is diamond

after that, this kind of diamond stone become so well known

and he made his hose a museum of diamond~

haha

diamond house

this is a tunnel full of coins on the wall

whee......

taiping zoo(chu 7 and 8)and ipoh(chu 9)

finally we went to Zoo Taiping(chu 7)
after we left Penang ,we went to Zoo Taiping in Perak
so, for continuous 7 days, we went to Pahang, pinang and 2 places in Perak!
zoo Taiping is the zoology park at Bukit Larut , Perak
Taiping Zoo is the oldest zoo in Malaysia

we stayed over night in taiping
finally ,we went to ipoh to have our lunch before we went back~(chu 9)

pulau pinang (chu 5 and 6)

Pulau Pinang(chu 5 and 6)






Penang, the pearl of island
is the fascinating fusion of East and West
its embrace modernity while retaining its traditions and old world warm
reflected its harmonious multiracial populace and well-preserved heritage building
long award as the capital of food
it also entices visitors with its scrumptious cuisine and its beautiful coast

then, we went to Kek lok si
reputed as the biggest Buddhist temple in Southest Asia
the temple stands majestically on the hill of Air Hitam
It boasts as the beautiful"Pagoda of Ten thousands of Buddha"
which blends Chinese, Myanmarese and Thai architecture~

my dad and mum 's names

as saying goes
the man with passion can move a mountain
but a man with devout can carve one
the manoastry kek lok si was built by the benevolent Beow Lean
who has devoution. determination, and diligence

Then, we went to snake temple
built n 1850
and dedicated to the deity
the temple is the sanctuary for the pit viper
and said to be the servant of the deity

taman negara & teluk cempedak (chu 4 )

It is always better to walk slowly

so that you can see all in details

keep the eyes out of the smaller forms of the nature

walkers and hikers invariably fail to see the detail in the rainforest

the walking trails lead to the few peaks of mountain

waling across the forest trails cannot be taken lightly

the path are criss-crossed by numerous tree roots

and often muddy and slippery!

some of them who visit the tropical forest for the first time are often disappointed by the apparent lack of large mammals such as tigers,leopards and rhinoceros

These animals are difficult to locate on account of their sensitivity to the disturbance

mission accomplished~ reached the other side after crossing the suspension bridge

my little brother and the tour guide!~

well, we went to Taman Negara for only 2 days that is 27 to 28 of january
then on 28 to 29 , we went to Teluk Cempedak in Kuantan ,Pahang
ever heard about if there is a vote on the best beaches in East-Malaysia
teluk cempedak will rank head to head with the cherating beach in kelantan
it is not uncommon to see that Teluk Cempedak is filled with kite flyers, evening strollers, windsurfers and even swimmers
well, for me
the beach is rather average with its run-of-the-mill beach and somewhat murky water
oh~yeah
lastly
the beach is well known for its long-tailed macaques
they seemed to be more interested in scouring the trash bins that can be found aplenty on the beach
hope so they won't rely too much on the leftover food thrown by the patrons

afterall, the long-tailed macaques are harmless~=)

my chinese new year celebration and visit to national park in Pahang
during chinese new year ~
1~1~2009 to 1~2~2009

my brother favourite dish~

nice!

reunion dinner~during New Year's Eve Of the Chinese New Year

the fish is something that must be included!
not only that
people purposely don't finish it so that there are leftover
and th reason for this stems for a pun
as chinese phase 年年有鱼
is homophone with phrase which mean "be blessed every year "and "have profit every year!"

the black hair like algae or more well knowan as fat choy
and this is one of the dishes tat must be served during chinese new year as it sounds like "fat choy" means prosperity

whee~!

Taman Negara was declared for conservation since 1938
and has become premier Malaysia National Park
it is the most extensive protected area of pristine, lowland and evergreen forest
It was once known as the King George V National Park
the stated purpose of Taman Negara is
"to utilise the land with perpentuity, for propagation, preservation and protection of indegeneous flora and fauna"
with so much thing to do and see
a trip to Taman Negara is a must in your itinerary

haha~this twin tower! not really made by us~
we just passed by and saw it~assumed it is ours!

walking across Malaysia 's longest suspension bridge
530 meter long
Canopy Walk~
