Telaga Tujuh, Langkawi

We saw Telaga Tujuh on every Langkawi brochure and listed it as a must visit
telaga = wells
so we concluded it must be a hot spring....:P
but it wasn't.....very very hilarious!!!!

in order to get up there...one needs to climb 300+ steps up to Gunung Mat Cincang

*the name is already so salah*
while purchasing ice cream and drinks at the foot of the Mountain.....we were told it's only a 10 minutes climb

WTH!!!! it was like a 30 minutes climb and we didn't stop much

aiyooo when are we gonna reach to the top??????

then we were at the top....and asked a few locals there..
where's the hot spring????
O_O and we found out the hard truth....it's a WATERFALL and not hot springs!!!

GAHGAHGAHGAH I want my free spa!!!!!

the next logical thing we looked for was...
"where's the waterfall??"
*slaps forehead*

U can actually see the andaman sea right fr here...and we were standing right at the top of the waterfall
the edge of the stones.....was the FALL
it was pretty dangerous and we didn't wanna go near it

well after all the huffing and puffing up the 300+ steps we wanna make sure it's worth it
so why do they name it Telaga instead of air terjun?
the water carved all the stones into 7 wells before leading to the main fall
guess this geographical process took thousands of years

legend has it...that the fairies came down here to frolic and bathe.
and so the 3 angels who took 30 mins to climb finally get to bathe on its icy cold water

aaaAAAaaaaa soothe my feet after all the climb....

and this is one of its "carved wells"
pretty weird...coz it's really rounded like wells with water flowing into it
and then to the next one and the next
and we actually counted...in total there were 7 wells!!!

Baby Wei wat r u doin up there???? come and join us!!!!

yes the water was REALLY REALLY ICY COLD!!!!
on a hawt hawt sunny afternoon

the water was very clear too.....
and to make our climb worth it..

we spent bout an hour here until some weird fella started snapping our pics
definitely not a safe place
not safe to climb, rocks were slippery, no proper facility
and lots of hooligans aka mat motor

supposed a visit to this place to check out its Andaman Sea view is enuff
:P

Berr scaling Mount Kinabalu

Parco Sempione, Milan

Sometimes curiosity don't kill the cat
whenever we are on the road travelling makaning watever
we never fail to stretch our nose longer and sniff around wander futher
for more beautiful sights and explore hidden gems

built in 1893 its garden was designed by Emilio Alemagna
Castello Sforzesco at a distant
it was the same evening when we were visiting the castle
and got adventurous, ventured further down this beautiful park
Parco = Park
JS been lugging his heavy Tai Farn Shue D700 which weigh about
about...about .....anyone's huge size dog
yep it's that heavy....and to snap pic with it takes a lot of effort and muscle skills
motor skills and brain
and obviously I dun have any of the above
this one taken minus him
looked so fake huh? I dunno this place is so beautiful and all the scenery were just too perfect!!!!
almost like a wallpaper of a studio
and so we walked and sat around
ppl watching dogs watching and watched the sunset over the castle
*well I think in Italy, per human being there's a dog*
:))))))))))))))))))
sun rays over a naked tree.....
sun sets about 4.30 during winter
by 5pm it's very dark already

cobbled streets

this 47 hectares of greenery is really worth visiting
esp for photography
there's also a pond with clucky ducks, swans, a romantic bridge
statues to marvel at
and an amphitheatre built in 1806 which is still in used at the moment

Parco Sempione
Piazza Castello - Piazza Sempione
there are 8 entrances to this park
opens to Public everyday

Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre

We flew to Sandakan for a very importannt mission

:)))))))

to visit the Orang Utans!!!!!!

well for the men.....it was actually GOLF

-_-

Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is set in a lushy forest reserve

spanning 4,300 hectares of land

visitors walked on the boardwalk built on top of the forest floor

so we do not touch/disturb/pollute the beautiful forest

wow~~~~ the trees are so tall....never seen them this tall before

Monkey: "QUICK!!! it's the feeding time....we have to go already!!!!"

AAAHHH~~~~~~~!!!!! ORANG UTAN!!!!

screamed Monkey Koh -_-

shhhhh u r suppose to keep quiet

these are "orphaned" baby orang utans

whom lost their mother in the fire/killings of orang utan by uncivilised barbarians

Look ma!!! I got 2 hands on the tree:P

they were taught here to fend for themselves....to feed...

to build nest....

well basically survival skills so they can survive in the wild when they are released out to the forest

the only difference between human and these beautiful creature is only a DNA strand away!!!!

yea we are so close and yet so far....

Orang Utans have emotional feelings....they can feel sad and cry and be happy when they want to....

However the uncivilised barbarians who are so close and yet so far killed them for pleasure,

keep them as pets, burn them alive to make way in the forest for plantation.

Many rangers found a huge number of Orang Utans' corpses in the forest

some without head...

some burnt to death still clutching to their babies
:((((((((((((((((

hey look!! I can swing so fast and so agile!!!

I've never seen an animal luff like this...."hehehehe heheheheh"

SO DARN CUTE!!!!!!

they are so human-liked

and we are so ape-liked sometimes -_- or most of the times

this is wat I called - still luffing away

everyday at 10am and 3pm it's feeding time at the rehabilitation centre

the rangers will climb up to to a platform high on the tree

with milk and bananas

and also with a huge "SILENT" signage

then slowly the orang utans will swing and creep up for food

a few even swung down fr the tree

a huge array of tourists busy shooting with all the state of the art cameras

Orang Utans are native in Borneo Island

*just like how koala and kangaroos in Australia*

there are only 3 orang utan rehabilitation centre in the world...

2 in Kalimantan and 1 in our very own motherland.

this is a wild Macaque monkey and such a menace

I was so disappointed that the local visitors can't even differentiate between

Monkey and Orang Utan

It was obvious the size, outlook and color were different

but these local visitors can tell each other that they were different because:

1) Oh ini mesti penghulu, sebab itu saiznya lebih besar

*translated to this monkey must be Head of the pack because of its size*

I wanted to faint at this juncture and speak up my mind to educate these poor soul....but then again we were not allowed to make noise.

2) tengok dia dengan anaknya

*Look at its baby*

when all the orang utans here are brothers and sisters bcoz remember??? their mother were killed?!?!?!? HELLOO!!!!

3) Wah MONYET!!!! *and pointed to the Orang utan*

*translated to Look Monkey!!!*

I really wanted to open my already impatient mouth but then again, no point.....sigh...

prollie our education system or school should re-look at the science/biology textbooks.

my outmost complaint would be these local tourists were making so much of noise...

hellooo..pls use your brains...if u make too much of noise...these shy and delicate animals won't come out to feed!!!!

and pls do not come to a sanctuary in a long baju kurung and a kik kok high heels shoe!!!

u r not helping when u are kik kik kok kok here n there while u stomp around on the boardway!!!!

anyway back to this Menace Macaque Monkey

was trying so hard attacking the poor tourist...

I suppose he knows how to discriminate as he only attacked those with blonde hair

be it blonde men or women...

JS was standing still with his camera when it all happened

and i was busy pulling his shirt to step back but he didn't move an inch

JS: "U dun have to be scared.....when u are...your body emit a type of enzyme and the animal knows."

true enuff....when it got out of control....a ranger walked up to the Macaque Monkey

who was having a jolly great time then disturbing and attacking tourists who were running away helter skelter

in less than 5 seconds, the ferocious Macaque Monkey turned into a pussy cat and climbed up the tree

kekekekekekekee

boss ar....your face is really terrifying lar....even the Macaque Monkey dare not attack u

that is why u are known as Terry the Terrorizer!!!!!

*luffing + rolling*

after an hour or so watching the wild orang utans and Macaque monkeys....

we continued our jungle trail

climbing plants

euuuuwwww...I hate snakes.....

can't believe it I'm posting the pic here....

all my hair stood up looking at this pic :P

JS proved he too can camouflage and blend in with the forest

wow....the roots are huge!!!!

erm...this Monkey with clothes trying to climb a slim tree but in vain

don't think it can accommodate my weight

more pics of lushy forest

ARGHHH!!!! SO CUTE!!!!!!

a PGYMY Squirrel!!!!

I was squealing and it was smaller than my palm!!!!

GAH!!!! mommy I want this as my pet!!!!!
sayang sayang Orang Utan

so pls ppl...stop burning the forest...conserve our environment yea!!!

go GREEN!!!!

JS all drenched in sweat

while the other Monkey in clothes quenching her thirst

Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is open daily
Feeding time is 10am and 3pm

aaaahhhhhhh finally
:))))))))))) big smile
