Sekinchan - Golden Field

Sekinchan is a small town located in Selangor, somewhere nearby Kuala Selangor. It is one of the major rice producing areas in Malaysia. In Chinese, it means "The Village Suitable for Plantation". Sekinchan is actually a fishing village before its paddy plantation gone popular. You may go there by car, which takes you about 2 hours of driving. On the day we went, we had no idea why was it so jam. It took us almost 3 hours to reach there.

It is my friend's kampung, so we asked her to be our tour guide to there as we these KL people never see paddy field before. We were keep asking her whether is it the season where we can see the golden paddy field. We went there with great expectation to see the golden field and also afraid that we might ended up with disappointment.

When we reached there, it was already noon. We met up with our friend's cousin, who is actually many years elder than us. He brought us to have lunch at a restaurant to have chicken rice. Why are you still eating chicken rice when you can have it in KL? The chicken rice is different from the chicken rice you can have in KL.The skin of the chicken is crispy while the meat is tender.

My friend's cousin is really funny and has a good sense of humor. Everyone laugh at his jokes.

After lunch, my friend brought us to the Nine-th Emperor temple which is nearby the paddy field. We didn't end up with disappointment because we were in the right timing to see the golden field.

It was a very hot weather.

Hot, but luckily it was windy too.

Pray that everything goes smoothly.

The paddy field!

The KL kids that never see golden ripe paddy field.

Ripe rice.

Straw man?

You may drive around the paddy field. The roads are connecting to the town. Many visitors stopped by to take pictures.

Bye paddy field!

After paddy field, our next destination is the beach! My friend said there isn't really a beach in Sekinchan. They are mainly jetties. She brought us to Pantan Redang where there is a beautiful tree house built. The Malaysia movie, "The Matchmaker" filmed at here.

Beautiful Tree House

A pair of newly wed came here to take their photos. Lovey dovey.

Place where people sell their fish and seafood.

It was already evening by the time we left Pantai Redang. After so many walking and playing around, we went to have dinner. My friend didn't bring us to the most well known place for seafood dinner. However, the place that she brought us to have to make booking earlier or else you have to wait for it. Her cousin helped us to do booking earlier in the afternoon so we did not have to wait. The food was nice and the price is very cheap! We ordered 6-7 dishes and it was only like RM 80+. I'm sure you can't get that price in KL.

Splendid dinner.

Sekinchan is a nice place for one day trip. Another friend whose kampung is also Sekinchan couldn't make it because he was sick or else he would bring us to his relative's orchard. I am a typical teenager that grow up in KL and I have not visited to orchard before. So I am waiting for the next time to go visit the orchard.

On the way back, you may also drop a visit at Kuala Selangor to look at the fireflies.

Kuantan Trip~~

Me and my friends went a two days  trip to Kuantan last month. We visited some interesting places such as Teluk Cempedak Beach, Lao Zi Temple, Sungai Lembing and so on. First day, We took 8am bus to Kuantan and reached at about 11.30am. First, I sent my friends to the homestay that I rent to put down their bags then we went for our lunch nearby the bus terminal. Next, we went to the most famous place in Kuantan that is Teluk Cempedak Beach. We had a lot of fun and took a lot of picture there.

 A lot of monkey playing around there

We found a happy family

My friend’s ice cream stole by the monkey!

 After that, we went to the night zoo nearby Teluk Cempedak Beach. Unfortunately, it was raining when we get into the zoo. So, we went for another activity – bowling.

Preparing to start the bowling competition!

Let’s fight!

After bowling session, we went for a restaurant and chatting until midnight. Then we all back to hotel and rest.

Early in the morning on the next day, we drove to Sungai Lembing and have our breakfast there. We reached there around 8am, but it is already full of people. Most of them are going to have their breakfast after hiking Lembing Mountain to see sunrise.

Sungai Lembing’s special noodle and taufu!

 After breakfast, we visit to Sungai Lembing Museum and the hanging bridge.

The old fashion calculator, telephone, cash register and so on.

After visiting Sungai Lembing, we went for Lao Zi Temple which located between Kuantan and Sungai Lembing.

According to the stuff, after you walked from the dragon’s tail to the head,                                                  You will have a better luck!

It’s already around 4pm when we get back to Kuantan, then we take a rest at my house before go out for dinner. At around 6pm, we go for the famous satay restaurant to have our dinner. Then we went back to KL after dinner. Although this is a short trip, but I really enjoyed it!

Samsung VS Apple

Nowadays Samsung and Apple has become very popular not only in Malaysia but around the world. Samsung came up with Samsung Galaxy and Samsung Tablet whereas Apple came up with iPhone and iPad. Which is better? iphone or Samsung Galaxy? Samsung Tablet or iPad?

 

iPhone 5 (the latest iphone from Apple)

Samsung Note

Samsung Galaxy Note is an android smart phone produced by the Samsung. It is 5.78" tall and 0.38" thick. It is just like a Samsung Tablet only thing smaller and it is also a phone and not forgetting the pen that comes together with the phone. Some say that having a Samsung Galaxy Note is just as good as iPhone 5 because it is a touch screen phone, it is fast and the most unique thing about the phone is it has android. The same goes to Samsung Tablet. Most people buy the tab to download and play games. With Samsung Tab you would be able to download for free by going to the Android Market whereas for iPad you would have to buy some of your games or jailbreak.

Latest model of iPad

The latest model of Samsung Tab..Samsung Tablet 10.1

However, iPhone 5 is heat detected which means you do not have to press too hard on the screen to switch screens, widen the screen or tap on it to type. The graphics for iPad is better than Samsung Tablet. It sometimes feels that it is a 3D game. There are a few people that say the photos that are taken by the iPhone is also much clearer and sharper than the Samsung Galaxy. All Apple products cannot get virus and so that is why many people long to have an iPhone or an iPad.

All in all, I guess it depends on the person which phone or tablet is preferable to them. Each of this product has its own uniqueness and capabilities. Its up to you to decide...
