Pahang trip 17-18th May 2008

Went to Kuantan, Sg.Lembing and cherating during one of the weekend with houg,tmc, and wen qi using the little kelisa. This was my first to time to Kuantan.

Hehe, had always wanted to go Sg.Lembing because there located the famous Bukit lembing/panorama.


Wen qi make a research that this stall's duck noodle was nice, and recommended by the internet.
We had to ask around to find this little stall. It was located somewhere hard to find. Nevertheless, we managed to find it, hehe.

the mee was not bad lar....we ordered a few type. One of it was nice, cant remember which type dy.

After our lunch, we went to this place to gua charas"" located inside this hill deep inside the palm estates.


You will have to pay o...to enter....hehe. For charity lo.....

Signboard to the sleeping buddha...

This piece of fish shape rock was said to be tranform from buddha wo....

The sleeping buddha at the end of the cave journey...

This cave was used for buddha as well as for hindu, so indians send their stuff in through the hanging rope to the inner part.....

Strange rock shape!!! ahahha

4 of us taking pic in front of the cave entrance.....

haha, one can c how far the hill is from the main road....

Next we went cherating.....explore the beaches there, but we din manage to enter clud med there, it was heavily guarded!!!

hehe, 4 of us again at cherating.,,.....smilling :)

the dark in looming.......

For dinner, we went to this shop to eat ikan bakar, haha...it was no cheap too.....the food jz so so nia la....


On the way to Fisherman's point at teluk cempedak, we saw a car caught fire....it was proton tiara, ppl around was kind enough and helpful in putting out the fire.....i wonder if not for their help, the car would have 'boommmmmmm'



At this fisherman's point, we ordered sthg which turned out to be sotong rings nia...haha, kena tipu by the name,

Also this wat space bun....thought so special...but nthg special too......hahah, kena tipu again by the name

WE went fro a nite stroll along the teluk cempedak waterfront....there was this funny guy, dunno whether it's real man in disguise or robot blowing balloon...ahhaha, but surely is human lar.....

the waterfront wall full of ppl and nite life and artistic work including the one below....it seems that tis place was the hanging place, the pak toh place for everyone here....

We rented our room at sg.lembing, stayed there per nite to wake up at 4 sthg AM to climb Bukit lembing to catch the first glimpse of sunrise....


We ordered ZUl's satay back to our place of stay to makan....hhee, the zul's satay have the reputation as equal to kajang satay....haha, after i tried it out, it tasted nice...but the sauce not as gud as kajang's satay's sauce

Who is that in white greyish long sleeves v scary hair?? looks like a zombie coming for food.......haha,

Early in the morning 5thg AM.....we went to the entrance for bukit lembing....nearby to a chinese school

tmc stretching b4 the climb........

After aproximate 45 mins we managed to reach the top.....the walkway to the top is mostly staircase with some parts simen, and mud....but consider vy good and easy climb dy....even family with ah ma (old grandmother) , small kids.....oso can climb it too....haha.

Once we reached the top, there were whole lot of ppl......trying to get our good spot....and then anxiously waiting for the sunrise......

Everyone was ready with their camera, SLR, tripod set..........etc.........BUT BUT.......the view is jz full of clouds....with every minute over, we became more and more disappointed .........until the sky was lit with normal blue and slightly orangish colour.....that's all. TOO BADDDDD for us...

Anyway, though we could not see the sunrise, yet we were blessed with beautiful sea of clouds covering the mystique mountain.....VERYYYYYY BEAUTIFULLLLLLLL.....


Ppl on the way coming and going back....

Tmc love tis pic vy much....:)




After shots of pics we finally went down for our breakfast....

We went to the bz pasar pagi to find food.........

It was said that tis yong tau foo was nice........but again so so lar....

During noon time, we went to this sg.lembing village........there are connected with mainland through two hanging bridge only usable by pedestrian and motors, cars will have to use another road........


The famous lam ming mee........ya, the mee made here is NICE :)

cant stand the hot sun....haha

Next destination, we went to this little crystal museum....at first we all really thought it was a museum set up by the goverment....but it end up as someone's house.......own by a chinese fellow who used to be a worker in sg.lembing back in the good old days when they blast the hills for tin.....according to him, at that time he collected all these crystal because he just think it look vy beautiful......only to know that later it was vy valuable stuff when ppl knew what is it already. He do not sell these crystal because they are priceless.......but it was vy generous of him to openly let the public to visit his house to view these crystals......really damn lot of them :)
