Weekend In Lenggong Perak (2/2)

… continued from previous (DAY 1)
6.00 am and I’m wide awake. No need alarm clock. I have an internal clock that goes into overdrive whenever I’m away from home and don’t have a bedroom to myself. Yup, I kick right into survival mode. Survival meaning: wake up last and you’ll wind up battling for the [...]

Weekend In Lenggong Perak (1/2)

Ever heard of Lenggong? Yeah, me neither. Not until last weekend, in fact. But it is where I spend last weekend. Lenggong is a town in Perak near Ipoh (ah, Ipoh everyone sure know one) and it’s apparently one of the Peninsula’s most important archeological spots.

Tibang Falls by 4WD

It’s my first-ever 4WD road trip and couple of hours into the trip, I’m already brimming with many questions. For instance, why would a man have tulips in his knapsack?

Bukit Gasing Memories

I’m reminiscing here and directing this specifically to a few of you out there (you know who you are!!) … remember how we used to get up really early every weekend to go trekking at Gasing Hill? How we’d drive through the itty bitty narrow lane right into the housing area and park our car [...]

Death By Hiking @ Bukit Chenuang

Here we are at the entrance to Bukit Chenuang aka Nightmarish Death Mountain aka Place I Swore I Would Never Hike Up Again. The entrance is pleasant and innocent-looking enough … thus I am blissfully lulled into a false sense of peace and security… the trees are nice and tall … the path up to [...]
