Pisang Waterfall

On Sunday 24th of May, me and few of the friends going to Pisang Waterfall at old Gombak Road. It just nearby the Jungle Lodge where you can park your car then trek in to the Pisang Fall. It take about 1 hour to reach the main waterfall and you had to pass by 2 huge big tunnel under Karak Highway.

It was a fun journey, not too hard but quite relax. Below are some of the photos taken during yesterday.

@ YS House for Steamboat

Last Sunday we had been invited by YS to have steamboat in his house. I just do a bit of fast snap shots around his beautiful decorate house. Really like the open air window concept and the way he decorate his house. Love his friendly dog running here and there.

We also go to Puteri Mart at Puchong to purchase some fresh vegetable and steamboat ingredient. Also YS effort by preparing some delicious steamboat soup by him earlier for us. Really thanks again him for spending us eating such a nice meal.

Below are some of the photos taken that day, just a fast preview what I can in his house.

Conquering Everest

Had been reading this for the past few days. Is very interesting and inspiring to read their experience on how they conquer mount everest, the highest mountain in the world and how many people have risk their life for it..

But there is still a question in my mind on why people do that just to reach the peak?

Is this beauty about your passion or just want to prove to yourself you can do it?

If for me personally, I just wanted to see the beauty of the other side of the world and I still a have target to go Everest Base Camp on year 2012. Hopefully I will have a chance to do it and able can make it.

Below are some of the video and picture on the expedition of National Geographic Adventure I had read...mostly is taken from the National Geographic site.

Every mother nature have its own beauty, that is priceless. Don't you think the same?

Sepang Gold Coast @ Bagan Lalang

Me & my colleague with the total of 6 of us going for a day trip from Tanjung Sepat to Bukit Jugra, Banting then to Sepang Gold Coast @ Bagan Lalang. But this post will mainly focus on the Bagan Lalang photos that I took during last saturday.

It was a surprise as how much has change in Bagan Lalang and the beach is cleaner if compare to Morib or Port Dickson, maybe because of the development on Sepang Gold Coast as they clean up that area. It was a beautiful place for you to see sunset or to have recreation trip with your family & friends there.

Below is the picture taken during that day:

Kanchanaburi, Thailand

During our visit to Thailand, this is our second tour to go out from busy city life in Bangkok to Kanchanaburi. We book our tour with same agent in Khao San that we go for Ayuthaya as the price is the same as well. It cost us 690 Baht per person which include lunch and transport.

Kanchanaburi is a town (thesaban mueang) in the west of Thailand and the capital of Kanchanaburi province.

For most visitors the main sight of interest is the Bridge over the River Kwai, the start of the infamous World War II Death Railway to Burma (Myanmar),as well as its associated museums. There is an increasingly thriving backpacker scene taking advantage of the chilled-out riverside vibe for those that need to get away from Bangkok. More foreign visitors are discovering why Thais know it as one of the most beautiful provinces in the country with its easily accessible waterfalls and national parks.

Our 1st visit is to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery that is the main POW cemetery associated with victims of the Burma Railway. It is located in the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. 6,982 POWs are buried there, mostly British and Dutch.

Below are some of the photos taken in the War Cemetery:

Tourist viewing

Our second place would be the famous The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery Bridge over the River Kwai. It was a part of the infamous Death Railway to Burma, constructed by POWs working for the Japanese in hellish conditions during World War 2.

Just nearby the bridge it was also located the Art Gallery and War Museum about what happening in the past during the War time in Kanchanaburi.

After River Kwai Bridge, we had our lunch at the nearby river in about 20 minutes drive away from there. This is our 3th activities there where we can sit on the bamboo rafting.

After our bamboo rafting, we continue our tour to Elelphants and Friends Conservation Camp where you can ride on the elephant.

Once we done our elephant ride, we continue to visit Erawan waterfall but is a bit disappointed on the waterfall as it was not as beautiful as we though maybe we didn't have enough time to reach the main stream as shown by the photos it was very beautiful.

Just nearby the waterfall, we were given a chance to sit in the train to reach the the infamous Death Railway. It was 415 km long Burma-Thailand railway and was build during World War II.

On 8pm, we reach back to Bangkok in Khao San road. We were so tired as this journey is longer compare to Ayuthaya although it just take 1 day. Overall is an interesting trip as we seen something different from Bangkok.
