Drive about Penang

 One of these things do drive me nuts, driving about all over and so, while I had to embark on my work, I have the opportunity to snap a little this and that.

This is Kuala Sungai Muda P100 road in Penang Mainland towards Pulau Mertajam (just near the Pantai Merdeka) where a few years ago, Tsunami hit these area on boxing day and till now, they did not manage to completely get back on their feet. Remrants of Mother Nature's Wrath still can be seen on the beaches, with torn or washed down houses as these fishermen are on the poverty line, living day to day trying to feed us, city folks.

So, everytime you have a meal, with cheap seafood, think of those who lost their lives and now part of their life for us to carry on. Darn it Barisan National. Money into your own pockets. No wonder you lost in these parts.

WTF ? TGIF!

 

 

 


 

Words has nothing of value here.

Directions needed? Nah... that will suffice

Jungle Treking, Two Wheel Drive

This is the pics I forgotten to add to the Collage.. It's a real jungle up here



  The Trail and things I have to get thru.... But the small road and unguarded and without any rails...



 
And the Risk I have to bear....



 Lata Celak.. I will conquer again! The water itself is clear and calm without ANYONE in sight! Only the locals are here.

Zoom in to the Lata IBOI near baling..but don't be fooled..
Other info:
From PENANG:
Drive from the F.Road 67 towards BALING.
Do NOT drive into Baling.
Follow F.Road 4 towards GERIK
Watch out for Kg Tiak on the RIGHT
It's a BIG JUNCTION with Warong Goreng Pisang.
Drive towards SG KUPANG, and you will see a bridge.
Drive another 1 KM or so. Then you will see the Cafe beside the River.
There U Go RIGHT before the bridge.
Drive up the disasterous road for 4 KM.
It's muddy,and abit dangerous. Do not drive up if you don't have emergency tow-rope and driver's kit. No petrol for next 90KM!

(see my last post)

Lata Celak

One of the hidden Secrets of Kedah is Lata Iboi and Lata Celak near Kg Tiak off the Highway 4 to Gerik from Baling.

Road going up there..is hell. You need a 4X4 or just on bike..but if you are Gung Ho like me.... I drove up..and it was worth the trip. 20% Slope with bad rubble track...and river rocks...It's a suspension breaker.

Don't take ye Kembara though..it will break the transmission. Small cars..with high suspensions is ok.

Nice place to lepak...and with Maxis Coverage.

Raya Blues

Hari Raya is one of those days dreaded annually. The Spring Cleaning, The In-Laws and Mom and Dad and those In-Laws and Siblings I have to please. Top it off is to clean the house (like daily basis?) and change the curtains and stuff,which I find is a freaking waste of money. Honestly.It is the time of the year when the joy is kinda... well, dreadful because this is the time I have to maximise all my funds and cash and well, means only only one thing, deferring payments and zapping my credit cards to the max.

That's why I dreaded Raya..and anytime the festivities is round the corner. I become a moaner and mourner. Moan about every task I have to complete. Mourn those who are gone before me, friends, family, acquaintances, lovers....and siblings. Not to mention my boys. Anyway, the Eid Ul Adha is a day of sacrifices. About the dedication towards God's Willing, Insyallah. Glorify the Grace of God, the One, The Only, The Beginning, and the End, The Life Giver and The Merciful, for every life must face death.

But today was a special day. A crazy one. Tim Nuffnang wrote from his Apple MacBook onboard Royal Caribbean. I know it cost a bomb...but I did not remember it was that expensive. That was a nice surprise, but the glory of events from Nuffnang made me extremely upset,even with the call from Ming, which I feel just because they have became the Business Entrepreneur , I think they forget the basics.

Anyway, Have a nice holiday.

And Tim...you owe me that Starbucks...and this time..it's a whole round of shots. I am still prooding over the conversation and stuff.

Catch me if you can... well I know I can outrun you Daddy.
