DUSUN BONDA

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 08:02:00 +0000

“The name DUSUN BONDA (Dusun means Orchard and Bonda means Mother) came from this simple idea to create childhood memories for my daughter. I really hope my daughter will have great memories at our orchard as much as I did when I was growing up. And now I would like to share our family retreat with you. And I hope your kids would be able to create their childhood memories and for some of you to revisit your childhood memories at DUSUN BONDA.”

The ambience of the night is quite fun with the beautiful lamp lighting.

Our guests this weekend are sooo lucky...we served them langsat, mangosteen and durian for the Poolside BBQ dinner ‘dessert’ last night.

But this year actually we are not so lucky with our fruits as some of our trees are not bearing any fruits especially durian. ‘Merajuk’ simply because we disturbed them during the construction of @dusun_bonda

So we can’t promise we can serve you langsat, mangosteen and durian next week peeps!

We still have a few more slots available for the FREE Poolside BBQ Dinner.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and every corner can be beautiful if you find the beauty within it. But sometimes you don’t have the luxury of time to explore the streets, or to travel to places. So save your time and check out our OOTDs worthy spots @dusun_bond

The surroundings of the enclave are so comfortable and safe.

“I’m a minimalist. I don’t really need much to enjoy a

good holiday – just my family and the bare essentials.” — Jean Reno

Kelanang Beach, Banting

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 17:14:00 +0000

If say only Banting must be the lightest person will Moreb Beach, but did you know there's another one in Banting beach is not very popular place to visit but a Kelanang Beach.

Beach activities are conveniently performed at this beach.

Pantai Kelanang is a series of beaches along a 3km coastal strip in Banting, that begins from a Malay village reservation and ends about 2km before Pantai Morib. Peaceful and tranquil with much of its surroundings intact, the beaches of Pantai Kelanang are lined with large pockets of mangrove trees that interrupt stretches of the shoreline. A small and narrow road that leads through coastal forest winds along the beach stretch, with partial stone embankments in place to protect against erosion. Hidden away by dense vegetation, there are far less visitors invading Pantai Kelanang - less facilities but much more secluded and peaceful.

Coastal areas adjacent to the wildlife of the mangroves.

Even if you do not intend to stop here for long, it is a good idea to drop by and see this beach. The beach has sandy white sand but is not suitable for swimming.

Plan additional travel time to drop by this beach, Gold Coast Morib Resort, Tanjung Sepat and Bagan Lalang. They are all located along the south west of the coast of Selangor. During the low tide, you can walk a couple of hundreds of metre towards the sea.

The GPS coordinates of the beach is N02° 47.384' E101° 24.710'.

During public holidays and weekends, there are stalls that you can go to for your food and drinks. Beach balls, kites, floats, T-Shirts, sweets and other tit-bits are sold here to holiday goers who did not bring their own supplies.

Public toilets and surau are also available for your use. If you are driving, you will be glad to know that there are plenty of parking bays that have been built for your use.

Campers find this place a good location to camp and you may find them busy setting up their tents as you walk along the beach. Casuarina trees thrive along the shore of this beach, providing shade from the hot sun especially in the afternoon.

Kite flying is also another activity that you can get your children to do here as this beach is quite windy in the evening.

Batu Caves

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 16:23:00 +0000

Batu Caves is a an iconic and popular tourist attraction in Selangor.

Site of a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves attracts thousands of worshippers and tourists, especially during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.

The main entrance to the cave.

In a vast cave area.

A limestone outcrop located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines.

Its main attraction is the large statue of the Hindu God at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.

Monkeys frolic around the caves, and it is a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Paintings and scenes of Hindu Gods can also be seen in the Ramayana Cave.

The Batu Caves are situated thirteen kilometers (seven miles) north of the capital city Kuala Lumpur. They are the sacred place for the Hindu's in Malaysia. They consist of three main caves and a number of smaller ones. The caves are made of limestone and 400 meters long and 100 meter high. They were discovered in 1892. From your hotel in the Golden Triangle you can reach the Batu Caves easily by taxi or public bus (11 and 11d). The public busses can be boarded at the Pudu Raya Bus Terminal in Kuala Lumpur.

At your arrival you will be greeted by lots of monkeys. They are going for your peanuts and banana's, which you can buy in several shop, before you climb up to the caves. You have to climb 272 steps, which will lead you to the religious and magnificent Batu Caves.

Once a year they celebrate the Thaipusam festival in the Batu Caves. It's a celebration for the son of Shiva (Subramaniam) and the becoming "one" of Pusan and the Brihaspati stars.

The Thaipusam festival.

Every year, on Thaipusam, as many as 800,000 devotees and other visitors may throng the caves. As a form of penance or sacrifice, many of them carry kavadis (literally, "burden," such as a pitcher or jug). These are large, brightly decorated frameworks, usually combined with various metal hooks and skewers which are used to pierce the skin, cheeks and tongue.

By doing this penance they expect some favours from their Gods. The festival is held in the tenth month of the Hindu calendar (mostly the end of January).

The procession starts on the evening before the Thaipusam festival at the Sri Mariamman Temple in the town centre of Kuala Lumpur.

By doing penance they want to extort some favours from the Gods. The kavadis is placed on the shoulders of the devotee. The kavadis represents a miniature shrine.

Women carry a silver jug full of milk on their heads, some are pierced through their cheeks and tongues and others not.

Chains are dropped from the central body of the kavadis and hooked onto the flesh of the bearer. The length of the spears had to be limited to a metre in consideration for other devotees. Others hook limes, oranges or coconuts onto their bodies.

They are always accompanied by an entourage of relatives and friends to make them enthusiastic with dance parades, songs, musicians playing the drums and the flutes.

As they arrive at the shrine at the Batu Caves, the Swami removes the hooks, spears etc. The vow is finally fulfilled.

Girls who carry kavadis milk.

Thaipusam is celebrated at Peninsular of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur and on Penang. The procession on Penang starts on the eve before the Thaipusam festival at the Chettiar Temple in Penang Street.

When you don't visit the Batu Caves at Thaipusum, they are still very beautiful.

Every day there is a little celebration of a group of Hindus in the Batu Caves. Every time it's an imposing event, although there's no self torture.

Temple Cave or Cathedral Cave is he best known and biggest of the caves. It's visited by many devotees.

The ceiling is 100 m above the ground and this huge chamber is lighted by daylight from several holes in the ceiling.

At the end of the caves you can see the bright sky, when you look above you.

If you climb up the stairs, you can meet a lot of long tailed-macaque monkeys and if you have peanuts with you, they'll climb to you as I won't consider recommending.

You might fall though.
You can take photo's of them, carrying their babies for the peanuts. There are locals in the entrance, who will approach you to buy peanuts!

Long tailed-macaque monkeys:
they love peanuts, but they love crisps also !

At the base of the hill are two more cave temples, Art Gallery Cave and Museum Cave, both of which are full of Hindu statues and paintings. This complex was renovated and opened as the Cave Villa in 2008. Many of the shrines relate the story of Lord Murugan's victory over the demon Soorapadam.

The Ramayana Cave is situated to the extreme left as one faces the sheer wall of the hill. On the way to the Ramayana Cave, there is a 15 meter tall statue of Hanuman and a temple dedicated to Hanuman, the noble monkey devotee and aide of Lord Rama.

Climbing the stairs to the top of the cave.

A large hole formed on the roof of a cave.

The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Some of the cave entrances were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people, a tribe of Orang Asli.

Batu Caves is easily reached by KOMUTER train using the Batu Cave s-Port Klang Route, costing RM 2 for a one-way journey from KL Sentral. Batu Caves may also be reached by bus 11/11d from Bangkok Bank Terminus (Near to Puduraya Terminus) or bus U6 from Titiwangsa.

Taman Rimba Komanwel

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:20:00 +0000

Another bath-shower area in the Selangor.

Launched in conjunction with the 14th Commonwealth Forestry Conference in 1993. These parks attract the originality of the forest trees and the beauty of the landscape. Besides, there are also areas for camping, monumental fountains, jogging tracks and other activities that provide opportunities for the public and visitors to enjoy nature.

Still water is not contaminated.

Location

6 km from the city of Selayang by road Rawang - Rawang and 30 miles from Kuala Lumpur City. Commonwealth Forest Park is located in Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve, which is part of the Forest State Park, also known as the Selangor Heritage Park. This forest is a lowland dipterous forest types.

They used to have horse riding but I did not see any horses during my visit. Perhaps the horses have been replaced by the ATVs!
Some of the jungle trails of the original park are now defunct. I saw the decaying entrance to the Canopy Walkway for example but this is now overgrown and out-of-bounds.

Facilities

There is a cafeteria, Bamboo Café, which is said to serve Malaysian cuisine but was closed on the Saturday afternoon of my recent visit (Jan 2013). I imagine they open it when they have a large group staying.

There is an all-purpose hall suitable for seminars, classes, etc..

I City Shah Alam

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Tue, 29 May 2012 03:47:00 +0000

Description :

City of digital lights, as its name implies, the best time to visit is at night. There is much to do and see here, from shopping to snow filled indoor park, to beautiful neon lights that adorns the gardens to the many restaurants that offer a gastronomy experience.

Snow in Malaysia? Yes, it's possible. Take the kids to Snowalk at i-City for something completely different.

This is a technology park located on the outskirts of Shah Alam. At night the place comes alive with an amazing forest of man-made trees brightly illuminated with millions of colorful LED lights.

They call this the City of Digital Lights.

For children it is a fairytale wonderland and even for middle aged guys like me the effect is very impressive.

Next to the forest of lights is Snowalk which is an indoor snow park where visitors can escape from the tropical heat for a while and experience 5 degree temperatures. For some Malaysians who have never seen snow before it is a novel experience. If you are from Canada or Russia you will be less impressed but it is still worth a visit.

Inside Snowalk you will find igloos, ice houses, slides, a mini-bobsled run, snowmen, ice penguins, a bar made of ice (no drinks served), various ice sculptures and plenty more LED lights.

Warm jackets are provided (included in the entrance price). Trousers and boots can be rented at additional cost.

Back outside in the warm air there are other attractions at i-City. These include a reptile house, Laser War zone (a laser tag game), amusement arcade / indoor funfair games,souvenir shops, food stalls, shops, a full size cinema screen (showing some Van Diesel film during our visit) and a range of restaurants.

There was a giant Xmas tree and a few reindeer made from LED lights and some Chinese New Year lanterns hung across the street even though our visit was in June. It would definitely be best to visit this place at Xmas to soak up the seasonal atmosphere but even in June it was packed with visitors (though it was a school holiday).

Opening Hours

The attractions open at 7 pm.
Closing time varies - 11pm Mon ~ Thu
1am weekends and public holidays

Entrance Fee

We had to pay RM10 for parking but outside of school holidays it is much cheaper. The parking fee can be offset against the entrance charge to Snowalk.

There is no entrance fee to see the City of Digital Lights.

For Snowalk, we paid RM25 per adult and RM20 per child. This fee includes rental of a jacket.

BUKIT JUGRA (Jugra Hill)

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:15:00 +0000

Fly Like a Bird in Bukit Jugra

Take off : 2°50'7" (2.8354)N; 101°25'4" (101.418)E - Elevation : 100 m.
landing : 2°49'57" (2.8325)N; 101°24'50" (101.414)E - Elevation : 11 m.

Paragliding is a very appropriate activity at this location.

Bukit Jugra Info

Many ships had tried, but all of them failed to reach the beaches that support the elevation which the locals called Cockle Hill. These late19th century navigators had been travelling for weeks along the Straits of Malacca, and each time they closed in, the shores sneakily moved backwards further inland, breaking these mighty armadas to yield frustration. The English wanted no more of this nonsense. So, they constructed a lighthouse on top of Cockle Hill. And from then on, deep in the night, when everything was still and the locals were all snuggled and asleep on their woven mats, a beacon of light would part the darkness looking for ships welcoming them to the shore.

The Sultan Abdul Samad mausoleum in Jugra.

And that is how the legend goes; and it goes on to tell the story of how the hill continued to bleed for 30 long days after the erection of the Sri Jugra Lighthouse. The waters surrounding it assumed the rusty-red colour of the cockles that resided there. Ironically, not long after the incident, the cockle population started to dwindle, and then they all disappeared.

But then again, this is all folklore, romanticised tales to spice up an event. Much of the earlier history of Malaysia was passed on by the 'penglipurlara' or storytellers. They frequented little villagers to update the people on important affairs. The more colourful the story was, the greater the crowd he would gather. Thus, his tales needed to be exciting. And never mind if it blurred the line between reality and fiction. And that is just why the coastal land could be cheeky and unwelcoming, and the cockles all died away without any logical explanation. After all, isn't inexplicable tales part of the mystification surrounding all legends.

Sights around the Town Jugra.

Today, people and not ships flock to Bukit Jugra (Jugra Hill). Right from the base of the hill, they jog all the way up the winding road in their cross trainers, carrying their bottles of water. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, scaling the hill for the ultimate cardio experience.

Bukit Jugra is away to admire the spectacular view of the Langat River
that cleaves the lowlands, winding and curling as it meanders
sinuously to converge with the river mouth.

Not all who visit Bukit Jugra are there for the exercise though. Young girls and their boyfriends, while on their brief recess from looking into each other's eyes, throw their glance away to admire the spectacular view of the Langat River that cleaves the lowlands, winding and curling as it meanders sinuously to converge with the river mouth. Nowhere else can Selangor boast a peak from which one can be inspired by such a spectacular landscape. Its picturesque panorama stretching into the horizon, reaching mountainous divides, and transgressing beyond the Straits of Malacca, and at times almost into oblivion.

If you are planning to venture into the unbridled Bukit Jugra, be prepared to lose some centimetres off the sole off your shoes from all that walking, be blown away by the sprawling scenery, and perhaps lose a few ringgit on the purchase of water and refreshments. Expect activity, because the main attraction here is just that; and this pretty much rules out a social call to see the master, the immortal lighthouse. Within its compound, all is unmoving, somewhat idle. Everything is silent. Only, and only if you listen hard enough, you might just hear the quiet and unimposing humming the lighthouse makes as its light goes round and round in a circular motion, day and night, night and day. A lonesome edifice, solitary and isolated within its neat compound that welcomes no visitors.

Among the key activities like, paragliding.

BUKIT MELAWATI

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:33:00 +0000

Melawati Hill / Bukit Melawati, Kuala Selangor.

Bukit Melawati is a historical hill and one of Kuala Selangor's most popular tourist attractions during the day. This small peak was once home to a mighty fortress built by Sultan Ibrahim of Selangor towards the end of the 17th century, an effort to safeguard the state from Dutch forces that had conquered Malacca, a little further down south. The fort faced the sea with a commanding view of the coastline and the Selangor River mouth. Built with solid slabs of stone and held by massive pillars, it was certainly an impressive sight during its days. Despite all its stature, the fort faltered in the face of powerful Dutch cannons and fell to their naval forces after a two week siege.

However, it wasn’t long before the Dutch tangled with Ibrahim’s troops again; in less than a year, the Sultan launched a night raid and succeeded in recapturing Melawati Hill while driving the Dutch back to sea. The fort continued to be at the epicenter of many struggles and battles over the years, especially during the Selangor civil war, fought between factions created by rival sultans and Chinese tin miner gangs. When British forces arrived to impose their presence in Selangor, they hammered the fort into little pieces, with the help of massive gunboat Rinaldo. Not much was left of the fort after the merciless pounding and today, all that remains for visitors to see are a few decrepit foundation stones and walls, along with some of the 68 cannons originally used for the fort’s defense.

On the other side of the main building
royal tombs can be seen about this object.

A group of monkeys waiting
the presence of visitors.

In place of concrete and stone, grass and shrubbery now cover the hill to create a pleasant park-like environment along with cooling rain trees that tower over the landscape. At a corner of the hill, sits a royal mausoleum for the first three Sultans of Selangor. The point where most visitors congregate is the view point in front of the Altingsburg light house, slightly below the peak. This light house was built in 1907 and continues to guide ships sailing through the Straits of Malacca today. From here, one can look out to the lush greenery and mangroves below and further out, a vista of open sea. Looking closely, you can see where the sea meets with the Selangor River, with tiny ships and boats sailing through. This particular point of the peak is also a famous tourist feeding ground for the resident silver leaf monkeys.

BROGA HILL

noreply@blogger.com (sempoi4u) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:05:00 +0000

ONE AREA IS BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR FANS.

Broga is a small town that sits on the border of Selangor and Negri Sembilan in Malaysia. It is situated 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Kuala Lumpur and approximately 33 kilometers (21 mi) from Seremban, the capital of Negri Sembilan.

Bukit Broga, also known as 'Bukit Lalang', after the local species of grass that grows abundatly here, is a hill in Semenyih, about 40 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur. It can be reached a short distance after the University of Nottingham, where the entrance trail starts from an oil palm estate facing a rabbit park across the road. Its easy accessibility means that there are many visitors on the weekend. As far as nature is concerned, the hill is composed mostly of lalang grass while some lower areas are covered with palm oil trees or young secondary forest. Squirrels and birds such as swifts are common sights around these parts.

What is truly appealing about hiking up to the peak is the panoramic view of the landscape. In fact, the view from the top of Broga Hill has been described as incredible and offering one of the best sights from such a low hill. Lush valleys of green rain forest, peppered with flat palm oil plantations and a few towns, can be seen vibrantly on a clear day, with the backdrop of several mountains in the far distance. During the mornings, mist rising from the ground from the warmth of the sun envelop the landscape in a carpet of white, providing a surreal atmosphere. This is why most hikers come up during the early mornings and wait for the sunrise to catch the breath taking view. The hike itself is relatively easy, taking between 20-45 minutes to reach the highest peak depending on how fit you are.

There are a few steep ascents, but nothing to hard to conquer. There are three peaks in total, each one ascends above the other through a clear path fringed by the tall grass at each side. The trails are well marked and trodden, so it's pretty hard to get lost or even lose sight of the way. The best times to climb Broga Hill is during the weekdays, as weekends will see a huge glut of hikers clogging the various peaks. It is best not to walk around on the grass, as this species in particular will cast an itchy sensation on bare skin. In the evenings, swifts and swallows will dart around the hill in large numbers, riding on the breeze that so often blows across the peaks. During windy periods, the tall grass will rustle like waves across the sea, providing a spectacle to behold.

History and etymology

Broga takes its name from the River Broga which runs through the area. The name Broga is believed to be derived from Buragas, a mythical beast that lives in the forest.

Broga was mentioned by Freddie Spencer Chapman in his book, The Jungle is Neutral, to be a location where British-backed rebels fought against the Japanese during World War II.
