LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

It was a sunny Thursday, 27th in May this year. My parents and I travelled to United States to attend my brother's graduation in San Jose State University which is also known as California State University. Our journey started from Penang International Airport with China Airlines.

It was my second flight with the airplanes since the age of 8 when we went to Pulau Langkawi. The views from the airplane's window were pretty cool, the people, even the trucks were as small as your pinky finger as you are climbing up into the air.

Finally we were about to arrive in Taipei, Taiwan at dusk. We had our dinner in the plane. Well surprisingly, the fish with cheese served as I ordered was really delicious. We spent another 4 hours waiting to be transfered in Taipei International Airport.

A HIKE IN PANTAI KERACHUT

A hike in national reserve park heading towards Pantai Kerachut early in the morning together with a bunch of friends was really fun. We had roti canai as our breakfast in Teluk Bahang before we started our adventure.

Somewhere in the middle of the track towards Pantai Kerachut, you will eventually stop-by a small resting hut that is located next to a small waterfall.

This particular path was actually created and dug by the labors during the colonization of British, it lasts about a few feet long.

After approximately an hour of hiking, we finally reached our destination - Pantai Kerachut. A paradise where you may bring some snacks, clothes and books to spend your time out from the city. Of coarse you should not expect that there is telco coverage in that paradise. ;)

We had our great time over there especially the water activities that throwing Hua Lin into the sea but we failed to throw Ah Heng into the sea coz he is too heavy to be carried! Watch the videos I posted in the Facebook. The couple had their sweet great time leaving the singles aside that day. (:
