Kuala Selangor Trip 2013

On 24th May 2013, we set out on a journey to Kuala Selangor. :) It was a cloudy but not rainy day. Just perfect for our journey.  We started of sluggishly because planners do not know what they are doing and they intended to pair us randomly in cars which ended up useless.FAIL!!!! We ended up sitting in the car with people we prefer rather than randomly. You can call this grouping or have gangs but what is the point of sitting in a car for hours with people you do not 'click' with right? We had two cars. Onw with 5 and one with 4 people.
Car 1 : Carlson(driver), Melanie,Yen yee, Ken ren and Huang Ying in a Persona or whatever it is. LOL
Car 2 : Chee Lee(driver), Chit Fei, Stephanie and I.

Top Car 1 and Bottom Car 2 

 Well, we were suppose to only have an hour long journey till we reach our destination but due to traffic jam in Kuala Selangor itself and also crazy GPS guiding us to God knows where, we took almost 2 and a half hours with low fuel.. Walao eh.. No petrol station on the way or miss the petrol station cause to busy looking at the roads to take. aiyoyoyo.. but I'm glad we ended up there safely and soundly... The jam was due to the Wesak Day festival on that day and everybody in town was going to temples. Be it chinese or indians. So the one way into town is to pass this jam sites..

We then stopped in the Town of Pasir Penambang in Kuala Selangor. Stephanie who goes there once every two months took us to buy Heong Piah which was very delicious and I'm looking forward to get more of it.. hahaha. Then she took us to restaurant for lunch in a very remote area where only locals and usual customers go. The food was splendid and was super cheap. I ate all that for only RM10.. In KL, I think it's about Rm50 per person.. And because one of our friend isn't all keen for seafood due to her allergies, we called for veggies and conventional taufu...

marmite mini sotong

My personal favourite!! 'Lai Liu Ha' or also known as Mantis Shrimp deep fried in salted eggs~ sooo yummmyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

The view from the restaurant is actually quite serene except for the fact the river was murky and brown and there were plastics and coconuts floating by once in a while. hehe...

The night view is even more awesome which I will show you later.. hehe.. Now, after eating such an awesome meal we headed back to our cars and was later joined by
Car 3 : Wei Lek(driver), Sin Nee, Sheau Huei and Han Xing.

They joined us and we went to 3 different locations of the same beach. Remis Beach. The priceless expression on Ken Ren's face when he saw the 'clean' waters and the 'sandy' beach. hahaha. He was like what in the universe happened here? haha... And He mentioned.. 'GOOGLE MAP LIED TO ME!!!'. But in fact, we all know that Kuala Selangor does not have nice clean beaches and blue water. The water is murky grayish brownish greenish. I don't even know. Plus Carlson's GPS was even worse when his GPS pointed us to the middle of the sea~  The beach was full or sea shells than lined up perfectly like a wall but i's prickly. If not careful, we can hurt ourselves. We made a walk down the sea shore.....

There is also a very digusting monster in the sea water. It is very tiny, it bites, and it is a creepy crawley!!!arrrrr.. We dipped ONLY our feets in the water to just take a shot and also cool down. But we jumped right out of the water the second after the picture was taken because of some creepy crawling prawn like creatures crawled up out feet and started to bite us!! or eat us literally ate our skin!!!!!! Then we found this catfish being washed to shore where we were nearby and Wei Lek and Han Xing tried to take pictures of it but the waves kept pushing it back into the sea. Well, boys~ they kicked the fish up to shore and guess what? The creepy crawling insects which was biting us came crawling out of the DEAD catfish and bringing out it's intestines full of this insects. We scram and we jump up to shore where it was dry and far from the insects!!!!

We just left and went to another part of the beach where we didn't have to see those unfriendly creatures anymore. As we walked along the beach, we saw another 'friend' walking pass us! Mr Crab!!! hehe.. It was kinda lost and it was just trampling all over the place and finally it disappeared... We then reached the other side of the beach where we parked our car. We were trying to decide where else to go because it was only 4.00pm and we only needed to go to dinner later and then firefly after 8pm. And then somebody brought out a beach ball and we started to behave like 7 year old kids playing Monkey In the Middle. hahaha... People started staring at us but we didn't care.. You want to know why? it's because this is who we are. CHildish young adults with all the time in the world and we are trying to enjoy ourselves.. Some of us got trampled over, ball hitting people at places they shouldn't and  yea, let nature take it's course. We really had fun until it started to rain.! haha.. We also had ice cream on the beach. tehehehehe... When it poured, we made our way back to the restaurant we had lunch earlier to have dinner! Because that place is just superb and we have no where else to go!! hahaha..

The EPIC moment where we turned out to be like kids, fighting for a ball.. hahahaha.. Small bully big!! ahhaha

WHen I say the view is superb and awesome I mean it!!!

The dinner is even better than the lunch. In addition to the awesome view in the evening, the dinner was to die for.. hahaha. We had sweet and sour crab, steam egg and ginger crab, two types of veggies,  one plate of beancurd,  one plate of bamboo clam or also known as American Jacknife Clam, The afternoon's Mantis Shrimp for those who haven't tried, we also had Sotong(Calamari rings) in wet butter and curry sauce. They also served us with this very tasty Fried bread which we love!! wuaa.. finger licking good. I can't wait to go back there again withmy loved ones, be it family or future boyfriend(if i have any). I just love the place!

Not all the food stated above were served yet, but when it was i was busy eating my crab so hands were dirty. LOL

    I ate to my heart's content there and was gobbling up the crab since the rest of them don't want to dirty their hands and some who weren't so close to us kinda kept to themselves. The rest of our gang were like who cares and were eating with all our fingers!! haha.. It's what being friends are about, you don't care how they eat but actually enjoy with them.. I only paid RM14 for the whole dinner where I had so much seafood. wuaaa... We had a group photo taken after the meal just before we left to see the fireflies... Plus you can see how much of seafood and how messy we are.. LOL

       We then left around 7.30pm. The road was dark and scary as we made our way to Kampung Kuantan to see their Kelip-Kelip or also known as Fireflies. The journey was about 30 minutes away from the town of Pasir Penambang. Bur it is situated in and rural area where the road into the Village itself is very dark and surrounded by trees. It was really creepy and Steph decided to skip her way to another car so she left me alone in the back seat which makes me feel even more uneasy. hahaha.. When we reached there, we actually got down the car and rushed into the area where we get to buy our tickets as there were many people lining up and We were afraid that they might close up. haha. so silly of us.. The boat ride costs RM50 per boat where it can only fit 4 persons per boat. But there were 13 of us and for safety reasons we can't fit 5 small people in a boat. SO we had to take 4 boats instead of 3.. we split into our boat team where every team must have a boy. Despite the long queue, we managed to squeeze in and finished our ride by 9.00pm. hahaha.. The fireflies were located along the river on trees and it really does look like Christmas trees where the lights shimmer. I really hope to go there again with a person whom I truly treasure and treasures me and also enjoy looking at this magnificent creation of God. :) I tired to take pictures, but it only shows tiny little lighted spots on a black coloured background.

It was a great experience together but one last thing before we left. Chit Fei lost her I-phone 4 and we searched about an hour for it and it's gone. So beware of where you put your things and double check your pockets and all your belongings before you leave a place. Because once you lose it, it's goodbye. But at least she got to change her phone. tehehee...

It was a wonderful experience to be able to go all out and have fun. despite the hiccups and quarrels before and during and after trip, I still enjoyed it very much and Yes I still do love some of them very much. They will always be in my memory and hey will always be my best friends.. :)
