Gunung Suku & Grandpa

I had a tired weekend. Last Saturday I joined a group of uncles and aunty for a hike at Gunung Suku in Cameron Highlands. Left KL at 4:30am for Ipoh and had dim sum in Foh San Restaurant before meeting up with the rest of the participants. Enter into a dry forest land from foothill which is 800m above sea level. Need to hike 1,000m by foot up to summit. The trail was very challenging. It challenged my stamina, mentality and patience. Kept walking all the way up and hardly had flat land for me to stop to rest.



It’s nice to hike here because the air was fresh and cooling. The air is getting thinner and cooler when I walked a few meters up. Stopped at the water point and tasted the fresh water from the stream. The water was so cold as though it was taken from fridge. Carry on my journey till I reach fairytale forest. Breathing in the misty cold air and rubbing my hands against the wet green mosses throughout the journey. The purpose is to clean up both dirty hands.



There are plenty of steep slopes and some exposed roots needs to be climbed over and/or passed underneath. All these climbing over and under really challenged my physical endurance which eventually leaves me with muscles ache till now. My last trip to Gunung Irau sometime in August of this year which was in Cameron Highlands too has left me with muscles ache for 4 days.






This hiking journey took me 2.5 hours to reach summit. As and when I set my foot at summit I was quite disappointed. The scenery view from Gunung Suku doesn’t attract me compared to the view from Gunung Irau and it has limited space to accommodate 20 people. Not much shelter such as big or medium trees for shade. When the sunshine I will immediately hide myself under the bushes. The weather at summit was hot and totally out of my expectation. Spent about an hour here having a cup of hot Nescafe and a piece of malaiko which I packed from Foh San Restaurant for lunch.



Hiking down took me about 2 hours to reach foothill. After completion of this hiking expedition I had myself freshen up at the icy cool water from a mini waterfall nearby Gunung Suku foothill. When everyone is ready to make a move, we headed for a nice dinner in Green Ocean Restaurant in Menglembu, Ipoh. Had poon choy and 4 other side dishes which cost us RM200nett. I think the price is consider reasonable.




On my way back to KL, I stop by Bidor to visit Grandpa. Hehe…he was watching Astro while waiting for my visit. Luckily I called him in advance during dinner so that he doesn’t sleep early. Grandpa was contented with a big smile on his face when he saw me. I felt delightful after visited Grandpa and my friends were so kind to drive me in to Taman Civil.



Cheers!!!

The most Classic one

Hi All,

My dad found this photo a few years ago in our old house.

Lonely cum Freedom...

I just read Ming kaufu’s blog. First of all I would like to convey my congratulation to him on his retirement for a week in Bidor and at the same time welcome him back to the 9 to 6 lifestyle in KL. Aunt Nancy will have the uppermost merriment for another year....Yeah!







Lately I have been busy working and not as fortunate as my wife and children. They have left for Singapore on Monday for 2 weeks vacation with her parents and sister. They have also emailed me some of their nice photos in Zoo. I don’t understand, of all the places in Singapore…why do they choose to visit Zoo??? In KL there is one called Zoo Negara which we will never visit.

Anyway, they still look good and were having great time over there. At times when I was alone at home, I felt lonely too and have been hugging bolster every night. I can hear droplets from the washroom in the peacefulness of my apartment. Hear no yelling nor fighting over toys from Wei Shern and Li Wen. It’s gonna be extremely peaceful for another week.

Well before my wife left for Singapore, she has warned me not to touch nor cook in her kitchen . Hey... I still have to carry on with my living and 2 weeks single life. Therefore I return to mom’s place for dinner every night and…….HANGOUT with buddies and night activities….Wuahahahahaha

Lil Wei Xiang Again....

Last night after dinner, all of a sudden I had the urge to take photographs of Wei Xiang and everyone at home. Today he’s 25 days old. As you may compare the size of Wei Xiang now and from the day he was born, the shape of his face was getting chubbier and eyes were big with his crystal eyeball rolling from left to right.












I was pleased that everyone was so co-operative with me to take a few shots with lil Wei Xiang. I have also shared the Foong's Families and Relatives Blog with my mom and would like to show her kaufu’s blogged about Grandpa in Bidor together with the video clip. Unfortunately, in the interim, I do not have home internet yet cuz after my intensive consideration I would prefer to wait for streamyx special promotion which I have missed sometime early this year. Hope they will have one coming up soon. Ah Tat, if you have read my blog here, remember to update me if there is any promotion. My brother, Ah Hong was fortunate to have registered with streamyx with that special promotion before it ends. How could I pay more…..and my brother is enjoying that promotion price.

Cheerio!
