~~~~~~~~  Blogpost start... "Choyness" spread!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Today wanted to just chill and relax so a bunch of us decided you know to stop by Sungai Tekala again... This time to truly enjoy the serene environment and chilling water... Purposely choose week day man...

We figure out this equation,

Weekdays = People working whole day = Won't go there = PLACE IS DESERTED = No one to disturb us and we can occupied more space....

Isnt this a Win Win situation???

Anyway, let me just tell you what actually happen for the whole day...

Woke up at 7am and get ready cause meeting up Jin and Nic at 8am

Met with them and went for a quick breakfast.... the normal mamak style breakfast.. 1 packet of nasi lemak and 1 ice Milo....

Once we finish breakfast, we depart straight to Sungai Tekala.... Usually take around 1 hour or so to reach (depending on traffic and such)...

At first the journey is kinda slow when we are leaving Desa Sri Hartamas toward Duke Highway... Morning fella going to work... Once we are at Duke Highway... journey was smooth all the way... THANK GOD NO JAM!!!!!


Anyway, once we arrive Sungai Tekala, we were quite happy....cause only got 4 cars beside us... Guess 1 or 2 of the car belong to the workers or maybe all of them are leisure fella like us...


Once we arrive Sungai Tekala, we spend like around 30 minutes at one spot and all of the sudden, it start to drizzle... Fine.... We just ignore it... as usual both of them are busy taking pictures while me busy playing with water and sand.. than the rain gets heavier till we have to find some hiding spot to hide....


Rain subside, sun came out.. The cloud is still there though... But, we ignore it and went out again from our hiding spot and continue doing what we are doing....

This is how we look like...

Rain again.... and it is getting heavier and heavier....

Our emotion....

*After 15 Min...*

Rain become drizzle and than stop..... False alarm??? Maybe not.... so went out from hiding spot again and continue on.... Mood change though...

Nope...nt kidding.... that our face after 2nd attempt... Mood spoil a bit d ..

*5 more Min...*

Rain again.... heavier than before... hide again in hiding spot....

3rd attempt facial expression...

Rain stop... sun came out.... bird churping.... monkey swinging on tree.... good omen???

Why are we not confused after 3 false alarm right???

Guess what... I say "Fk it....I am hiding in the hiding spot for good... you guys continue without me..." It is cold and the water is freezing... and I totally lose my mood already... Come on... Who won't right??

The other 2 continue their photography expedition right up till 3pm... Imagine that... from Morning we step in to Sungai Tekala till 3pm the weather is fooling with us.... We are drenched wet and hungry.... The food stalls outside are not open.. thank god Jin bough some bun so we can eat in between... or maybe just me and him only... LOL!!!!!

That how i look when they are done.... not cause of them...is cause of the rain and weather

Leave Sungai Tekala and guess what.... THE SUN CAME OUT!!!! FINALLY... SHINING BRIGHTLY SOME MORE!!!! WHAT THE FK!!!!!!!

You dont need me to explain this....

*During the journey back home..... after 10 min depart from Sungai Tekala*

Jin's car ran over deep hole on the road.... tire gone case.... Gotcha fix the flat car tire...Lucky he know how to fix a flat tire...if not...

Speechless...

Continue journey back home.... to change and go to Chow Yang Night Market.. Near Taman Megah, PJ
Whole way..... no rain and sun out the whole time till we arrive home....


Arrive home safely.... Change and Nic took a quick shower cause whole body kena rain water more than me and Jin... LOL!!!!! Depart to Night Market.... Sign of grey cloud.... But no sign of dark
cloud.... *Pray to god won't rain*

Grey clouds.... Greyyyyyy clouddddssssss

Less than 20 Min, started to drizzle again.. stall owners come started to pack some started to put plastic bag over their goods, clothes and foods....

Drizzle only.... nv mind... being very kia su... continue walk...

Rain heavier... We walk without umbrella.... we went back to car decided to have dinner in mamak...

Rain the whole entire journey.... and guess what... rain stop for while when we are eating.... GRRR!!!!!!!

Given up hope....

Finale... Rain la of course.... till I reach my door step till like maybe 9pm or 10pm...

Decided to puke Rainbows....cause weather is fooling with me today...

Am I bad luck or what??

I think I need to use Lime and those leaves to wash myself throughly..

No wait.. I think use Dynamo as well...

No wait... I tell ya what... Since tomorrow is Kuan Yin... wait.... should be today since now is Friday already... If bad luck start once I wake up.... I be Vegetarian the whole day.... to cleanse myself...

I think I will do that to cleanse and "dong" the "choy" away....

That all... Tired and I dont wanna fall sick....

Nighty...

Since coming down to KL, I haven't really been to a picnic or BBQ trip before...

Finally I got a chance already... ^^

I've heard of this place numerous times from Le companion and frankly speaking, I been wanting to go there and have a look at this place since then.... The way he describe the place, the river, delicious ice-cream bread is to die for...

Anyway, finally get to go there on last Saturday... Huuray!!!!

But the bad thing is, I wanted to go to #Churpout 2012 in the morning once the fashion stalls are opened, to start shop shop shop... But Le companion wanted to go there... So, have to delay till late afternoon to go... Haih!!!!!

Entrance to Sungai Tekala / Tekala Fall

We were there quite early though... Around 9 plus we arrive at Sungai Tekala.... It is kinda cooling over there as it is a cloudy Saturday morning... No sun the whole time when we are there... Isn't this weather a darling or what??

Entrance fee for adult is RM1.00 per person, as for children aged 12 years old and below, it is RM0.50 per person... Can you believe it??? I mean RM1.00 for adult, how freaking cheap is that... 5 sweets which cost RM0.20 each also equal to RM1.00.... Have you ever come across such cheap entrance fee?? No right... I mean so far I haven't heard of or seen yet... And we are talking about a place where you can picnic, BBQ, swim around for hours with friends and family... Definitely, the most worth spending RM1.00 ever, compare to buying sweet whereby the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes increases...

Sungai Tekala opens at 7.00am right up to 7.00pm.. You can come here for an early morning jog, swim around the river and waterfalls and than have a sumptuous great outdoor BBQ for hours and hours..

On the way to the river

Well, This place is well maintained... they have plenty of toilet for you to do your so called "business" and change into cleaner cloths after your swim. I won't comment on the toilets cause I didn't use them but I guess the condition isn't that clean... Well, what do you expect? Is a public toilet and not a shopping complex toilet.... Get what I mean??? Anyway, The whole way to the waterfall is semen pavement/ pathway so is safe.... Not like the usual muddy and sandy pathway where it is damn dangerous and harder to walk...

Along the way...

This is just the starting... and you can see a super small man made waterfall... There are lots of small little huts for you to put your belongings and BBQ nearby.... So, quickly find a suitable spot and "mark" it with your belongings.... ^^

Beware of Monkeys though, I've heard that there are numerous occasion, where people are disturb by monkeys... Not those worse case scenario type, just the common monkeys stealing your foods and stuffs... So just beware of your surrounding....

Some club is having a BBQ dayout with it members.. Food smells really good...

Ignore my "Sans makeup" face... I wake up early for the trip and ignore my clothing choice...TQ

Cold river....

It might look dirty but the actual fact: IT IS FREAKING CLEAN....The river is not polluted at all.... Freaking clear and cold... Definitely look safe...

Kena force take picture...LOL!!!!

Jin and Nic taking their own sweet time taking pictures while me relaxing on a rock playing with water.... See... all of us looking bad because we wake up early for this trip... Look at all our eye bags... Nic can't even open his eyes... haha ^^

I can see the sand and pebbles below....

"Newbie" river...

We made a total 3 stops at the river.... This is the first stop which is located not far away from the bridge and the entrance to Sungai Tekala... I call this the "Newbie" River... small little waterfall just right for kids... 2nd and 3rd stop have bigger and better waterfall...

"Intermediate" waterfall...

Continue your hike up the hill, and not far away is our pit stop number 2 with the above view of the waterfall... I call this the "Intermediate" waterfall... See the difference between "Newbie" and "Intermediate"?? Well, the crowd here is more compare to the "Newbie" side.. as you can see the view and ambiance is way better.... This area has 2 waterfall... it is separated by some rocks or boulders....


Right above the "Intermediate" river is a over head bridge.... Didnt go there though.. so not sure where it leads to...

We spend some time there, but because of the crowd we decided to continue the journey to pit stop number 3.... The weather was getting dark though by than.... That why we are kinda rushing, cause we don't want to be stuck in the rain for hours.. and I don't wanna miss my Churpout 2012 event...

"Master" waterfall...

Was thinking what to name this waterfall.... "Experience" or "Expert" or "Master"... finally, settle with "Master".... So this is the "Master of all waterfall in Sungai Tekala"...
See the difference between all the waterfall?? This is the best waterfall... when we are there, only one family is there... They were really kind though, their children are playing at the waterfall area there.. when they see us start snapping pictures, they kindly move away from the waterfall and play else where.. Such nice children... Thank to them I gotten this view... Love it so much.. Look at the waterfall, the water gives me the milky feeling.. feel like jumping down and have fun but I didn't bring extra cloths so have to stick to the no dipping in the water rule..

That was the last pit stop though, it started raining after 15 minutes when we arrive there.. We decided not to take the risk and headed down hill back to the car..

Families begin to disperse and pack their bag though... All of us have the same though.. Don't wanna get stuck in the rain...

Ice cream bun @ RM2.00

There is this really friendly Malay guy that sell a variety of ice creams right at the entrance of Sungai Tekala... Popsicle, Cone Ice Cream and Ice Cream bun are sold there as well... at AFFORDABLE price... The Ice cream bun cost me RM2.00 for 3 flavors (Durian, Strawberry and Chocolate flavour) Damn nice and cooling... I was asking the fella what flavor does he have... and he answered me jokingly:" I ada Melayu, Cina dan India... Satu Malaysia..." How cute is that.... I was laughing my ass out.. Anyway, if you do not fancy ice cream, there are quite a number of road side stall which sell a variety of finger food... Nuggets, Fishball, Burgers, Soft Drinks etc... You name it, they should have it.. ^^

On the way back to KL, pass by some rivers which flow very fast... Small little huts are located along the river with a renting fee of RM5.00 (Please double check whether the hut are all RM5, some are different pricing) .... I seen some children playing at the shallow bank of the river... But, it started to rain heavily... Therefore, we didn't stop for long.. just a short trip to have a look at the view that all.. ^^

River Pongsun.... Chocolate colour looking river cause of rain

Hut for rent...

 That all for now... Stay tuned for more juicy updates from me soon!!!!

Ciao!!!!

Lord Murugan Statue.....

Guess everyone know where this place is right??? During Thaipusam,
Indian pilgrims from as far as India will come to this holy place to seek blessing. Ring a bell???

Batu Caves also have another alternative name which is called "Batumalai Sri Subramaniar Swamy Devasthanam"

Super duper long.... let just stick to calling it Batu Caves.... hehe

Most pilgrims are here to pray to Lord Murugan which stands at the height of 42.7m.... Best of all, it is the WORLD TALLEST MURUGAN STATUE..... Malaysia Boleh!!!!!!!

A little FYI, did you know that it causes approximately 24 million ruppees to build this World Tallest Statue??? Not only that, the statue is made of 1550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint brought in from Thailand....(Quote Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batu_Caves )

No no no... that not all..... The limestone formation in the cave.... it is said to be around 400 millions years ago.... Imagine that..... I wonder during 400 millions years ago.... how does Malaysia looks like..... *curious*

From the bottom of the foot hill to the top... you can take the stairs.... which is around 272 steps. Right at the top of the hill there is another temple which pilgrims called it "Temple Cave"..... At the bottom of the hill, there is another 2 more temples.....

Interested in rock climbing as well????  Batu Caves has around 100 over climbing routes for adventure seeker... The routes are mostly scattered around the sides of Batu Caves... So rock climbers and adventure seekers around the world interested?? Wanna have some fun and enjoy some Malaysian view???? Drop by Batu Caves for some adrenaline rush...

Picha time....

Lot and Lot of pigeons....

Gold coated Lord Murugan

Blur monkey acting cute

Monkeys are everywhere in Batu Caves. Temple at the foot hill of Batu Caves..... on the 272 steps..... top of the hill..... Please be aware of your belonging as well... One monkey incident that i witness is, one women reaches into her bag trying to get some tissue.... some monkeys thinking she is taking out some food to offer them, therefore, one of the braver monkey actually jump onto her.... she got the shocked of her lifetime i bet.... luckly, nothing happen to the women.... just a shocked monkey and women.... Some tourist who bought some souvenirs from the souvenir store also got their souvenir snatch by the monkeys..... pilgrims bringing packets of fresh fruits being snatch by the monkeys..... Therefore, please be alert, do not hold food or water in your hand............ Gotta be wiser than a monkey.... and most importantly, DO NOT PUT UR HAND IN THE BAG WHEN A MONKEY IS NEARBY....

Inside the cave..... Magnificent view...

Temple at the top of the hill......

Pilgrims seeking prayer....

Oh ya..... there are stalls that does Henna drawing for you..... as low as RM10.00 onwards.... depend on the difficulty and sizes of the design though.... I did a peacock design..... mix colour..... ME LIKEY.....Depending on how you take care of it.... Should last roughly around a week or more.... Mine lasted more than a week.... today is the 10 day and there is still a little bit left on my left hand.... You can either do it on your hand or leg...or even your arm if you fancy....

Peacock design on the process.....

Whole Design.....

A happy me....

Batu Caves is a interesting place to go.... treat it as a exercise spot as well... climbing the steps also take lot of energy.... in a way also is exercise..... and since there might as well get some blessing as well... ^^

There are a few restaurants and stalls which sells Indian Cuisine and dessert... might as well eat there right??? The price are also reasonable.... not the usual "touristy" price.... order your fav roti prata or roti canai with your fav tea tarik.... ^^

That all for now than.....

 Bye!!!!!!!!!
