Oh Oh Oh Balik kampung!!...Oh Oh Oh Balik Kampung!!

*stretch* after much travelling on the road, and tonnes of long distance call made, finally we are able to come to Pangkor Island for a short rest here. Don't mind me, I am lazy to write the whole journey, but of course, you can read it from My neighbourhood friend's blog
WELCOME TO PANGKOR ISLAND!!!
Beautiful view of the beach shore. Taken by the Jetty. I personally like this view and this Jeti is located at one of the Malay Village, where Dutch Fort is located. And some other historical items can be found in the Malay Village.

After much ding ding dong dong on the accommodation search, I got one lousy REALLY LOUSY motel. No doubt it's cheap for a night stay, it's just too lousy.

I was pissed when the electric got tripped twice in one night. The first time it wasn't so bad, the owner made us waited for less than 5 minutes and gave us lame excuse "Too much people already, power supply not enough" and the electric is back then.

When the 2nd electric tripped occured in the middle of the night, it really tested my patience to the max. I have low tolerance towards hot temperature, especially in the middle of trying-real-hard-to-sleep-but-dogs-are-barking-at-'dirty things"-is-so-disturbing mood. I have trouble even just to close my eyes. *sigh*
Hey guys, really sorry bout the poor accomodation. I didn't thought it will turn out to be such horrible experience! Truly sorry!!! = (

Despite the poor accomodation, I am glad we are able to find bicycle to rent! It really freak me out in the first place, when we can't find a bicycle rental nearby. That is lovely Chloe on her bicycle, trying real hard to balance her self =)

You rock gal!!! *clap clap*

Ahh... this is one extremely precious picture!!! : P

That is my neighbourhood friend on the bicycle. Trying real hard to balance himself and he is focusing too hard on how to avoid the traffic.

Panic happens when one is multitasking on the bicycle : P tee hee hee *mean*

Hey, I really have to give these two people all the credits!! Despite the lost touch on a bicycle, they managed to round quarter of the island ALL by their own, up the hill, down the slope without any one assistance ok!! *clap clap*

Erm..*malu* that's me, waiting anxiously for my dinner! No that is not a blue black.. that is my birth mark =) I look so horrible here in this picture. Tanned by the morning exercise and sweaty from all the cycling. la la la :P ~


Ahh... our very reasonable seafood dinner cook by chef of Restoran Kiah Lim.

we are all too hungry, hence the left overs you are enjoying now! ka ka ka ka

No la, actually the food was too tasty that we wallop all before we manage to snap a proper one.

Seafood dinner included of:

Soft shell crab, well marinated fish, tastefully stir fry oyster, Kai Lan, tofu mix vege for the greedy me, garlic stir fry lala, ginger butter fry prawn, spicy herb sotong and i don't remember what else already! *yummy*

Picture: Mixed tofu withhand made fish balls. Even the Tofu is carefully made with well blended soya and egg!

Picture: Butter fry with ginger prawn, very juicy =)

Picture: My favourite!! Spicy herb sotong!Looks simple, but it's very fresh


Thank you God for the food served on the table. AMEN!

Ho Ho Ho!! the ever famous Fu Lin Temple located in some Chinese village. Frankly speaking, Ii don't quite remember the way to the temple. It's all about the guessing game hehe :P

Hey, this temple got its own history background, which I really don't remember how. It's also known as the Mini Wang Lee Chang Chen. It became a tourist spot when one of the believer came and pray, having her wish came true. She prayed for a life partner =)

Sorry la, really don't remember the exact history already.

Picture: Fu Lin Temple main entrance.

Picture: Deities believes that by feeding the fishes along this bridge will bring good luck to them.

Under this long bridge hid a big fish of the size of a human. Deities believe that if you get to see this human size fish, it means your black luck is all gone, and comes good luck. I personally saw the fish once in my whole life. It's really big, as big as a human size, and always hiding under the bridge.

Picture: Deities believes when one is seeking for life partner, one should climb up the hill, and pray infront of this stone.

I don't know how true is this, but according to the locals, they say whoever that really wants a life partner, must be sincere and walked up the hill to do prayers. They confessed that they have seen every bachelors got married after they came down from the hill.

Maybe if you believe and still a single, you can give a try? Happy climbing though.. the hill is very slope and long =)

Picture: Another lovely landscape from the temple, located next to the "Love" stone.

Deities believes that widow (only widow) whom pray at this spot will have a good life in future. They will manage to find some one whom willing to take care of them and their children. Don't know how true is this though....

Fai Managed to take a whole island view from here. I sort of erm.... lazy to upload here :p hehe sorry ar Fai.. jangan marah :p

Thanks to Fai for taking above pictures. I memang tak larat to climb so high just to take photos. That road up the hill, is not only narrow, and it has so tiny steps that i am afraid I would fall any time! I am a clumsy person ;)

After much exercise, we are back to the flat ground, the busy street of Pangkor Island.

Picture: The heart of a busy fish village. These people lead a simple and carefree life =)


Picture: A little over excited us.
