: Fireflies

Woah, it's been a pretty long time. Haha, I bet I'm repeating this every post I post. LOL!
Cause laziness strikes back. Oh hail, the lazybumps.

Alright, let's get back to topic.
Fireflies.
Well it's the end of the one week holiday and now it's the second week and then another week and there goes TRIALS! Time really flies, was planning for myself from the start January and now it's already August. WOW! Just in a blink of an eye. *poof* welcome to reality.
Ok, back back back.

Do re mi fa so la ti

Last Thursday, it was the first day of Raya.
I didn't went to any friend's house nor balik kampung. But my family and the Wong family went on a one day trip to Kuala Selangor. The main thing of the whole trip was the fireflies. Haha, but we are only able to see fireflies during the night. So yeaa. So before that, we went to many places, I suppose. This one day trip plan was a plan that Aunt Wong found it on the internet. So, we just follow the schedule. The main thing I remembered was, I ate a lot that day. After a stop then, makan makan makan. LOL!

Morning, had our breakfast at a DimSum stall before starting our journey.

The canonball thingy

That rock where all those traitor were beheaded here

First place we went was Bukit Melawati.
It was a steep hill. But the cars are able to park upstairs, then we can also be able to enjoy the scenery there. There's was those statues, used to shoot canonballs. It was a cool sight. Lazy to post the pictures. Hehe, sooooo.. IMAGINE! Moving on further, we went to see a piece of rock where those traitors and bad guys got their heads beheaded. LOL. It was just a plain rock. But, the other thing fascinated us was the monkeys. We were confused about which monkeys were the 'garang' ones, the black ones or the others.

Dad feeding the monkeys

My dad fed them bananas, which were supposed to be our food but never mind. Feeding and feeding, we were so afraid that those monkeys would come and attack us. It was kinda scary moment at first but not really after that. But, precautions must always be taken. hehe. Then, while we were going to leave. Some of the monkeys climbed on my dad's car. They wanted food. LOL! They were peeking inside the car seeking for food. My dad wanted to feed the monkeys again like he was having fun but then. All of us were frightened asking him to wind up the windows.

lalalala~ Off we go to our next destination, stopped by at Auntie Foo's cafe. Had a break there, I had a glass of carrot milk, it was nice and sweet. Besides, we used their wi-fi for awhile too. Haha! Thanks to Wei Xiang for asking.

Then, next destination. Off we go, booked our seats first at a restaurant. It was full, so we went for a walk at a nearby fish stall. Went around and have a look then went back to the restaurant for our lunch. They're main dish was baby shark. The meal was quite okay, didn't really had the mood to eat. Ate too much for a sudden. hahaha. Anyways, we managed to finish it though.

Next stop, we went to Redang Beach, for your information. Not Pulau Redang, this Redang Beach is the opposite of Pulau Redang. Haha. We went there, the scene wasn't really nice, as it was the low tide. So, all we can see was those muddy black or brownish sea sand. We spent our time there, there wasn't much for us to do there. We just sat down and enjoy the breeze. Mum even asked us to take some jump shots. Ok, that was kinda awkward. Yea.. just to spare some time. By the way, it was fun watching other people fly the kites. They rent kites there. It was a nice scene to enjoy though. U can actually see how they put up their kites and also how they get the kites of the tree. It was fun though.

After that windy breeze, we followed the schedule and was supposed to have a break at a cafe again. But unfortunately, the cafe was closed. Hari Raya day off I guess. Then, we went round and round and round in the car. Stopped by at a 'house stall'. They shop name was ABC something something. I forgot. We ate ABC there, they're ABC is superbly big and yummy and my dad say it's cheap because it only causes RM3. But it was definitely big. Yummm~ :D

Then, went on a quite long journey to visit the Paddy factory. But sadly, we aren't able to see those shiny golden paddy field. It's harvest. So, we just went in to the paddy factory. Those machines were HUGE! Mum and dad bought some rice back as well too.

After that, it was around 5 or 6pm. Time for dinner. We went to this small place it somehow reminds me of 'Jiufen' when we were in Taiwan. The streets were freaking small and yet there were all sorts of delicacies there. We made our way through the crowd and we turned back as it wasn't the restaurant as stated in the schedule. Finally, we found a parking spot, parked the cars and we walked. Found that restaurant. It wasn't much people by the time we came. The food was scrumptious. The best meal than the meal before. The crabs were awesome too. It taste good when eating crabs with your hands. HAHA!

Lastly, the main point of this day. Went to Kampung Kuantan. Mum and Aunt Wong went and queued up to buy the tickets. We went to the toilet and then played around the playground. 7.45pm, it's time. Queued up at the so called small 'jetty'. Finally it's my turn. One sampan can only fit around 3-4 people. So, I went with my mum and sis. At first, I thought we're going in a group. I mean like 20 people sitting in a boat, something like that. But it was unexpected.

It was dark, we thought there was nothing. But, further and further. I finally saw glows in front of my eyes. It was such a beautiful sight. Damn worth it. You can see those fireflies only happen to be on a certain tree which is called the Berembang tree. It's their habitat. The trees glowed up like christmas trees but natural ones. The ones which glows brighter and glows 3 times per second are the males. The others are the females. We passed by trees by trees. It was amazing. And yet, we get to enjoy fireflies and also fireworks. Haha! The person rowing the boat was also the person giving the tour to us. We can even catch one firefly on our hand, but we can't bring back. The fine would be RM1000. Don't play play ah. It was fun, the firefly were very light. There were no weight as if nothing is there.

It was a nice experience. The guy even told us that some people even went there for 13 times just to relax himself/herself. Wow! It surely is relaxing. :P


Haha, OK. Finally done. Oh wait, do I need to write. We went back home, the end. Haha.. Neh, it's ok. I guess you guys should probably understand. I hope you enjoyed it! :D

P.S.: I'll continue update the pictures if possible. Heeee :)
