Lekas Highway

Congest along highway. That is what we are facing during every festivals days. We pay for a toll but still have to face the congested. Even though the accident is minor it able to cause 10 km jammed that will make us stuck in it for hour. The situation will be worst if the passengers are kid, it will turn up into terrible journey. However there is good news for those who travel to Seremban, Kuala Pilah, Muazam Shah or Rompin. Instead of using Plus Highway from Sg.Besi to Seremban you can use another alternative Lekas Highway. This highway will link you from Kajang to Mantin (Seremban). That cost about RM4.00 .
Access to Lekas Highway required you to use Grand Saga Highway at Cheras where you need to pay for two toll that will cost you RM2.00 both , from there you can drive your car straight on until Kajang Perdana. Then you can easily see the signboard of Lekas Highway.
I used this highway for my “balik kampung” journey. There are only a few vehicles use this highway and you can count it while driving. The choice is in your hand, what you need to do is just turn you’re steering.

Lekas is Negeri Sembilan wording that mean fast @ cepat.

Pangkor: Induction Course cum Outing

Pangkor Jety

Taxi around Pangkor Island

On 14 until 25 of June I have been to Pangkor Island for induction course. This is compulsory induction course in order to confirm my position as an educator in Politeknik. This induction course is full of seminar and at the end we have to seat for final exam.I just take this induction course as a positive thing. Besides I have met other educator from other Politeknik and Kolej Komuniti that increase my networking.

Induction Course Class

The best part is I spend 12 days in Pangkor Island, when there is free time we went around the island and do some activity. View the picture.

Pangkor is a popular place for weekend traveler because it is easily reach from Kuala Lumpur, it will take you only 3 hours ++++++ . If you coming from Kuala Lumpur use the North South Highway then turn to Slim River exits. The journey begin by using the old road, you will pass Sungkai, Bidor, Teluk Intan, Sitiawan and finally Lumut. The view from Teluk Intan to Sitiawan is beautiful you will see the no end paddy field and coconut plantation farm. “I have see coconut tree before but this is first time in my life I see the coconut plantation farm” You must view this coconut plantation farm.At Lumut you can take a ferry to Pulau Pangkor it will takes you about 30 minutes and cost only RM10 include return so keep your ferry ticket save.

Then you will reach the Pangkor Island there are many taxi here that will cost only RM 5 per person to reach your accommodation. The best place to stay is at Teluk Nipah, as this place will easily reach your needs or facilities. There are many affordable accommodations at Teluk Nipah. A walk away to convenient store, food stalls and souvenirs shop. Even if you want to do beach activity it just a walk away, you can do snorkeling, kayaking, island hopping, banana boat or ride on Jet Ski. However if you want a peace place with less facilities you can choose Teluk Dalam.When I was at Pangkor my accommodation was at Pasir Bogak. These places have only a few choices of accommodation and less convenient facilities compare to Teluk Nipah.
Usually they will bring you to Pulau Giam for snorkeling and it will cost you RM150 a boat for island hopping and snorkeling to that island. If you do snorkeling they will rent to you RM5 for a goggle.Pulau Pangkor is small island you can go around the island within 30 minutes by renting a motorcycle, car or bicycle.

Come and visit Pangkor it is small island. 2 days one night would be enough for your stay here and really suitable for weekend outing. If you not driving you can take a bus direct from Puduraya to Lumut and you can walk to the jetty is only a couple of meters.

Cameroon Highland Trip

Waterfall

Tea Plantation View

Last weekend we (I and my colleague) having a day Cameroon Highland trip. We just plan it 2 or 3 days before. However we really have a great time. We start our journey from Tanjung Malim at 6.45am, early in the morning. Drive my car as it perfectly fit five of us. Then we stop at Shell station to fill up my car tank with petrol until full and bump the air for tires. We take the Plus Highway by entering Slim River and exit to Tapah that cost RM6.50. We use the Tapah road to Cameroon Highland and it takes me 120KM until we reach the top. The Tapah road is narrow and have many turning that make my friends Nurul vomit twice in the car, luckily we already stand-by plastic bag. That makes less vehicle use this road. On our way we stop at Lata Iskandar Waterfall. The waterfall is beautiful however it is not a perfect place for picnic. We reach Cameroon Highland about 10 am. Stop for a while for a ladies at Coffee Shop at the road side with Tea Plantation view. Then we start at Mardi. The garden is beautiful and will not let you down. See the picture. It nearly lunch hour so we having our lunch at Marry Brown Tanah Rata besides walk around the small town.

We went at KHM near Taman Sedia. This is a house but they owner make a small shop and plant a strawberry. We having our strawberry ais-cream here buy dried and jams strawberry. The taste of ais-cream is different compare to what we always buy at hypermarket. You should try it, and then only you will know. The owner is Malay so we feel no doubt about the product sell, all are home made.

Then we were heading to Boh Tea Plantation. At this area the view is perfectly beautiful. However it quite challenging to go to the plantation because the road is really narrow and only fit one car besides many corner and turning that disable us to see the front car. So in order to avoid accident I will always honk my car whenever we reach the corner and turning. It was really fun driving and always honk… On the way the Boh Tea Plantation my car is lead and on the way back also same. We spend a long time at Boh Plantation to enjoying the beautiful view and visit the Boh factory.

It is 2 pm and we went to Kea Farm, this is wet market area where you can buy vegetables and strawberry at cheap price besides there are many other souvenirs that you can buy for your friends. I buy the BBQ Corn, huh the taste is marvelous it different from the corn that I always buy at night market. I really admire see the old jip that the farmer use to carry their vegetable. I wish I can have a ride on it…… but it only wish…………………………We went down at 4 pm and use the Simpang Pulai road as we heading to Ipoh. This road is wide and many vehicles use it. It was really tiring trip because I drive all over the way. When we reach Ipoh me already flat and my friend, Nurul take turn driving, I would like to advice you stay a night at Cameroon Highland. It would be better. Enjoy the picture……………………..
