Ekspedisi Menawan Puncak Yong Belar.
22-24 October 2010
A superb memorable experience, extra superb friends.
Im speechless so let the pictures speak :)




Da lame upload photos, baru hari ni esaited nak tulis kan. Kak Sal, tanye i na join tak hiking mount Yong Belar, xfikir panjang i just said yes. Later i pon google la menatang yong belar ni. Last2 cuak la sebab Yong Belar ni G7 (7 highest mountains in peninsular Malaysia). Disebabkan rase glabah dan cuak takut menyusahkan sweeper, beria2 la trening selame sbulan.lari sane sini.

Ya even tho lari xla sebanyak mane pon.byk jalan tp berterusan, bru i perasan, i xpenat lame sgt.stop for a second then leh start hiking balik. After hiking tu pun kaki xla rase cacat sgt. lepas ni nak hiking mmg trening dulu, baru seronok, xpewai.


this is the starting point

So start Jumaat malam, on 22nd tu we gathered at LRT Terminal Putra Gombak. Then we headed to Kampung Raja via Simpang Pulai. Lepas solat subuh, 4WD sampai and half of us naik 1st trip to the Blue Damn Valley. It was a 30 minutes journey.

Start hiking and around tengah hari sampai ke Kem Tudung Periuk. We had our lunch there and start hiking balik. Around 5pm mcm tu dah start penat and banyak stop. Brader2 yg dah pena naik semua rase Kem Kasut xlah sejauh ni. Kteorang pn teruskan jugak, around 6.30 barulah smapi Kem Kasut.Tambah lak hujan, tu bertambah selow masing2.

Masing2 tak larat n decide bermalam je kat Kem Kasut.Kem kasut serius sejuk ke tulang. Memang xleh tido pasal sejuk sesangat. The next day, lepas subuh and breakfast, tinggalkan beg 10kg tu, terus ke peak of Yong Belar. Mase tu view superb lah sebab start kem kasut ke peak, mossy forest dah. Ala2 Lord Of The Ring.

Fishing Trip To Pulau Aman

My latest vacation was at Pulau Aman. It is one of small islands that located around Penang. Pulau Aman is a small village with capacity around 300 villagers. There are numbers of chalet to rent range around MR70-RM200. There is room type, dorm type and even a house of the rooms to choose.
Well anyway, how to get there ? The jetty is located at Batu Kawan, near to Batu Kawan Stadium. The boat fare is RM6 for 2 ways. The only problem if you were on your first time to go there is you dont know who to contact. The information given (even if you google it) is not enough. I was lucky on the day I reached there, there was a boy name Rahim who help us to find a chalet. (His auntie is the owner.

So here we are, we rent a very 5 stars chalet with only RM120. More than 10 people can be in that big room :). The Chalet is located almost at the end of the villagers house and nearer to Telaga Mas, a historic telaga at Pulau Aman.


There are many chalets built by the villagers but this one will give you more privacy :) There is a mosque and some small shops if you wish to find something. Too bad that kedai makan closed at 9pm or earlier. We was late that day so we bought some mee maggie and that's our dinner.Too bad :( The last boat is at 7pm and we reached Pulau Aman less then 15 minutes journey.

We started our fishing activities that night from the chalet's balkoni.

The next day, we went fishing at the new jetty and alhamdulillah, we managed to catch some fish :)

It was a short vacation yet a memorable one. Fishing is fun. It have been years i x fishing. I was like kekok at the first time but now boleh jadi pro baling joran. I would love to go fishing again :)
Kadang2 kene poyo dalam gambar.

Anyway, another speciality of Pulau Aman is the Restoren Terapung that serves Mee Udang yang udang ade 2 ekoq je. xcukup langsung. The taste is okay. Boleh laaaaa~~ :)

Do you remember the promise ?

Let us increase our levels of Taqwa to Allah s.w.t.by following His Guidance and leaving all that He forbids.

I remember when I was in a primary school, a friend of mine said that before we were sent to the world, before we ever exist in our mummy's tummy, Allah asked all of us a question. At that time, we were actually discussing on, why my father gave me only 50 cent a day while the rest of friends got duit kertas, you know at least RM2.

Well thats, not the point of my story today. My friend then said, I chose to live that way. I was so blur and asked for a better explanation.

She said that, before I step into the world, Allah has asked, "Syahidah, do you agree to live in a family that give you 50 cent per day for pocket money to school?". And here I am in this world with 50 cent for pocket money. Thats all she said.

And I remember it so well, until today. We had that conversation in our school canteen during recess time. I even remember her name. Well again, thats not the point of my story. Later then, I asked my father about it. Do we really have been asked by Allah ?

The answer is yes, but the question that He asked is not about how much your pocket money. The question that He asked to everyone is just the same.

"Bukankah aku ini Tuhanmu?" ( Am I not your lord?)
"Betul engkau Tuhan kami, kami menjadi saksi." (Yes! We testify.)

And remember when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed and made them testify as to themselves saying : 'Am I not your lord?' They say : 'Yes! We testify.' Lest they say on the Day of Judgement : 'Verily, we have been unaware of this."

Before we were born, we made a promise. We promised that there were no other God, but Allah s.w.t. We were witnesses to Allah's Oneness.

Back to my child hood story, even though what have been told by my friend was incorrect, they are just a little kids but they do have the idea or the point there. There was a question/promise made between Allah and us. Just sit back and think about it, have we keep the promise ? or have we broke the promise ?
