Many of you might have known especially those that follow my Instagram closely, I recently did Stand UP Paddling or SUP as popularly known. Tried that in PD…. Plenty of fun. Nahhhh, did not fall down pun. I forbid myself to. Kiasi!

February is the month for another outdoor activity – Trekking at Kenyir State Park and bird watching (gonna blog about this later). March? I will be in Sabah… follow my Instagram lah as I usually upload promptly here. Blog comes in much later.


If you are an avid jungle trekker – like Adela, this would be a piece of cake WITH icing on top. If you are an amateur like moi… this trek is fairly easy BUT with loadsa pacat jer lar. Opkos lah kan, nama pun masuk utan. Duh!!! It takes approximate 2 hours or so to trek to the 1st pokok ara or fig tree, then we rested and had our tapau-ed lunch before heading to the 2nd pokok ara, the proceed heading back to our vehicle via the river route (which took only an hour or so – but we all basah lah sebab kena menyelami hati budi air sungai kan kan kan. HAHHAHHHAHHAHH….).

I learnt few important stuff here, how to identify an elephant dung, Malayan tapir footprint, tiger and sun bear’s claw marks, types of plant that is important for survival and making delicious masak lemak tempoyak (Adela tuh dah try ke letak daun kesing/pijat, sedap ke idok?) and many more. I have to admit this trip is very educational, am glad I joined.
