钱不够用...

打开信用卡结帐单惊然发现这个月的汽油费竟高达六百零吉。。。

这个数字可是有史以来最高的（平常的汽油费为四百零吉）。。。

汽油价格不是下降了吗？怎么我的汽油费还是那么高呢？？

真是摸不着头脑！

现在终于知道为什么《钱不够用》这部电影会那么红。。。

因为现在每个人真的钱不够用！！

大家都说大马的经济将会跟随美国的金融灾难慢慢衰退，那么这次的经济衰退会对我带来怎样的冲击呢？

想到这里。。。惟有改变消费方式咯！

1。减少出外用餐（当减肥咯，一举两得！）

2。减少逛街（这个好像有点难！！）

3。不要冲动花费（要这样折磨自己吗？会很难受哦！）

4。减少奢侈品的花费（旅游/度假）真的要这样吗？

想着想着：还是觉得不行不行！！那我的生活哪里还有乐趣？

还是觉得省钱固然重要，生活还是要继续享受。。。

怎么办？

惟有更努力赚钱咯！

Romantic?Touch?Happy?Enjoyment?
Thanks to dear dear who planning such a romantic, cosy atmosphere and unique experience for my birthday celebration.
I will never forget all the effort you did......
"千言万语都不能表达我对你的谢意，我知道爱情并不该只用谢意来表达，你不计较的付出令我十分感动。一次又一次不经意伤你的心更是我不该犯的错误，惭愧的我时常装着一副大男人的表情想必令你觉得厌烦了吧？感谢上天安排这样的你给我。对于我的任性和不成熟，感谢你的包容。亲爱的，我永远爱你！我并不敢保证什么，因为不想让你失望。但我会好好珍惜你！”

Venue: Sekeping Serendah
Sekeping Serendah is a nice private resort located in Serendah, which is quite close to Rawang Town. It is somewwhat located in the rainforest. As on the way getting into the jungle, we passed by some orang asli villages and some winding roads. We took about 45 mins to reach the place from KL which is not too far from the city and i think not many people know about this place as well.
Reached there at about 7:30pm and the sky is almost dark and it’s drizzling. Both of us were amazed by the scene of the glass sheds when the 'resort keeper' lead us to the place. The double storey shed is mostly made by glass and most of them can be opened. There is no air cond, but only fan.

There are also basic kithen equipments for us to use such as fridge, kettle, some dishwares and microwave. Sofa is made of steel and table is made of a piece of steel too. As for the shower- it is an open-air concept bath room, and since it’s a glass shed, everything is viewable from the staircase and above. The open air shower area is really cool, however they have water heater. Rainforest is just around and we can actually hear the sounds from the jungle while showering. Great experience!!

So-called 'candle light dinner'After exploring around the shed, dear start to prepare for the dinner. She was busy to light up all the candles she brought (try to create the romantic atmosphere, hehe!!). We didn't use the bbq pit outside the balcony because we brought our own food. The scenery in the day time is as pretty as the night time. Reading books with bubbly sounds from the brook and the insect sound from surrounding was really a big enjoyment there. Besides, chit-chating and taking photos are the other activities during night time. Jump into the swimming pool nearby for a cool refreshment was the ideal activites during day time.
It was really a good experience for both of us with lots of memories and moments.

Nice Photos of Taman Negara

Here are some nice photos took by my travel buddies during our trip to Taman Negara......

My TaMaN NEgArA TriP (PaRt 2)

Taman Negara Exploration
Activity 1: Cave exploration
For those who visit Gua Tempurung before, the cave in Taman Negara or Gua Telinga to be exact is just an ‘ice kacang’.
Torch light is a 'must' to bring along the cave exploration. Pitch dark inside make us almost see nothing (You will appreciate the creation of torch light). Pungent smell with guano filling the rocks and pathway made me felt so uncomfortable. Bats are everywhere in Gua Telinga and they are just 2 to 3 metres on the top of you. I think this was my 'closest-encounter' to the bats.
The cave started out with a wide entrance and progessively become narrow. Why i said this cave is not adventurous because its total path is only 80 metres long (only takes about 15 minutes to complete the whole track)...... However the limited space in it actually make it enjoyable (you have to squeeze your body into a very narrow hole).

Activity 2: Bukit Terisek hiking
Hiking up to the famous Bukit Terisek was not as tough as i thought because the hill was not steep indeed. Along the way, our guide was showing us some rare plants such as Tongkat Ali, Cik Fatimah, Tualang tree and Gaharu tree that appear along the trek. We just takes about an hour to reach the top. At the top of Bukit Teresek, you will find yourself the perfect picturesque view of the whole Taman Negara.

Activity 3: Canopy walk
As my friend said:"A visit to Taman Negara, however, is not complete until you have done the canopy walk." This was the longest canopy walkway in the world which installed above 40m. It winds over 400 meters in the forest canopy allowing us to view the rich and diverse flora and fauna at the very summit of the forest. Situated high in the canopy are rickety bridges made from ladders and rope, which get our adrenalin pumping as we do a loop around a section of forest. However, the views were spectacular.

Activity 4: Visit aborigine village
We continue our activity to Aborigine Village meet orang asli (Batek) who are nomadic people and never stayed long in one place. According to our guide, a death or sickness in one of their family member may also cause them to move. They wear t-shirt same like us but their look a bit like African. There are only less than a thousand of the Batek (which meant original people in penisular Malaysia) left and they are mostly concentrated in Taman Negara. They are highly superstitious and shy people who kept very much to themselves living a way of life thousand of years old. What we do in their village? We learn how to obtain a clean drinking water in the jungle and how to start a fire without matches and how to hunt with their special weapon build from bamboo.
Activity 5: Water rapid shooting

We really have the most enjoyable time during water rapid shooting. There were two boats racing down the stream while all of us busy splashing water at each other. It’s free-for-all water fight between these boats. Very fun when 'fighting' with the other boat and splash them.

Activity 6: Night jungle walk
Through a path along Mutiara Hotel, we came to a building where we were to see a documentary on Taman Negara. Walk into the air-conditioned hall to watch a documentary video of Taman Negara. At the Night Safari, the guide lead us to a pathway to watch the nocturnal wildlife in action. Again, we need powerful torchlights. We had no luck to see any animal in action, but we did spotted some stick-insects having intimate moments, spiders or mini tarantulas, giant centipede, snakes, mouse-deer and illuminating mushrooms.
We climbed onto the watch tower to try to hopefully catch sight of some large mammals. It was so dark that looking out the observation deck, we just saw a sheet of black. I guess our luck were bad that day because we can't spot any animal at the observation deck.

My TaMaN NeGarA TriP (ParT 1)

Taman Negara is the world’s oldest jungle (130 million years old). It is a Malaysian national park, which protected from the development and destruction. It covers about 4,343 square kilometres and encompasses three states, Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu.

First of all, I would like to thank Steven, Elly, Yee Peng and gangs for their effort to make this trip a good one. Appreciation also goes to Amanda who kindly provide us a place (a huge 'aged' bangalow and full with antiques) to stay.... p/s: albeit she was not going to Taman Negara with us.

**She also brought us to eat a very nice 'ikan bakar' as supper.

Heading to Kuala Tahan the next day........ Winding road, hill slopes and not forgetting many cows along the road until we reached to the end of the road...... here is the entrance of Taman Negara -- Sg. Tembeling Jetty.

This is the beginning of the Taman Negara adventure. We crossed the river from Sg. Tembeling Jetty to Mutiara resort (The only resort 'in' Taman Negara). Unpacked our belongings into our rooms and ready for our Taman Negara exploration.
