For the past 1 year or so we have been inundated with pictures from friends on visits to sky mirror and the word "Sasaran" have been heard. Why not we go check it out and so happened our buddy Kim Aun was planning for one. A group pf cycling friends gathered at Kuala Selangor on a beautiful Sunday at this kopitiam for a sky mirror experience.
All of us drove to Kuala Selangor from our homes and it was absolutely no bicycle for the day. We were advised to wear as colourful as possible. The jetty is situated at Pekan Lama Kuala Selangor itself but I believe there are other jetties around Kuala Selangor offering such trip.
The group of 22 of us posing in front of the Jetty and ready to check out what sky mirror has to offer. The fare each was RM80.00 with a bottle of mineral water and packet of nasi lemak provided.
Catching up with friends, lots to talk and updates at the jetty terminal.
While some sitting outside the jetty with more other groups waiting to go out to the sea.
The jetty with at least 7 boats moored by the edge waiting for the right time to leave.
Mr. Chew Kim Aun, the organiser with his wife Janet and 2 body guards.
At last we have arrived somewhere at an open sea where the water was still receding and we were actually walking in the middle of the sea on a raised seabed. Timing is crucial for such trip and apparently it only happen within the 1st and 15th day of lunar months. And one by one we alighted and eagerly to have fun.
A rehearsal with their colourful umbrellas while the water level subside and soon the mirror effect will appear at its best. Of course one has to be skillful to get good images.
Up up and the way as Jason was taking off together with the rest.
The ladies and their posing ......
I had my fun too with my kicks.
A bit of drama with Jo.
This kiddo has a powerful kick that can blow off Jason, next time don't try to bully him ... ok!
Kim Aun & Janet for the first time I had the chance to go outing with this couple. Cheers!
Nothing is complete without a good food adventure in Kuala Selangor. Kim Aun has taken tips as to where to eat for lunch. And here we were at Restoran Tian Wai Tian 天外天海鲜餐室 for a late lunch. Location GPS : 3.352895, 101.252625, Pasir Penambang, Kuala Selangor.
Fried homemade seafood tofu to start off and pacify our tummies.
Then came the aromatic fried oyster omelette or also known as "Oh Jian".
Deep fried squid fritters.
One of the popular dishes in this place is this delicious crabs stranded with beehoon. Everyone of us love this great dish.
Assam gravy fresh prawns with lady fingers and brinjals, yummy and fresh.
Steam garoupa fish head it was fresh, succulent and delicious.
A simple stir fried tapioca leaves with garlic.
Sweet and sour mantis prawns.
So much of seafood to eat and the damage per head was RM26.00, it delicious, worth coming back again for more and pricing was very reasonable. Thumb up to Restoran Tian Wai Tian. All full and a slow drive back to KL after a wonderful outing.
This was my final day of Cycle Malaysia on Day 43 where I shall head straight home after a long journey.
Good bye Clovers Hotel and thank you for the stay.
Having one more stint at the beach for a sun rise fun with my camera.
The path at the edge of PD Waterfront area next to Persiaran Waterfront.
Somewhere within the surrounding of Waterfront area I found a row of eating stalls or rather known as Gerai MPPD located at GPS : 2.523580, 101.798563 for a decent meal of Wan Tan Mee before I start my ride.
Taking a turn off from Jalan Seremban after Lukut town, I went into a residential scheme known as Springhill before arriving at Sendayan.
UCSI International School Springhill.
I overshot a turning and went straight towards Seremban Town. By the time I realised my mistake I have overshot by 3.5km and had to make a "U" turn back for the turn to Jalan Felda Sendayan.
The "U" turn when I was heading back towards PD direction and before the turning into Bandar Sri Sendayan on the right.
This stretch of the route came with up and down profile, so this is the dragon backs of Sendayan.
Passing by Jimah before Bandar Sri Sendayan.
This was my first time coming to this part of Negeri Sembilan I have only heard of Sendayan but have never been here before. In deed, it is rather a big development.
After a rest and a coconut water refreshment at Taman Gadong Jaya at GPS : 2.701682, 101.831387 I stopped again for lunch this time at Kota Seriemas, Nilai. I was hungry and had a good meal at Restoran Ramai Seafood GPS : 2.772709, 101.767036. The time was 12 noon then.
It took more than 54km to reach the border of Selangor at Jalan Kuarter KLIA.
It getting closer to KLIA with familiar sights.
Thereon I ended up at a dusty road surrounded by oil palm trees and it was quite a distance of dusty condition.
Once a while there were big lorries moving up or down and the whole place was super dusty.
Then storm and rain came, I could not find any shelter and had to ride on despite the sound of thunder. The time was about 4.20pm.
After clearing the stretch of muddy road I glad to see a better road condition ahead and I found a shelter. I waited for 20 minutes it was still raining, I told myself to go ahead because the sky was getting dark.
Then I realised I was at Kg Orang Asli Bukit Cheeding, where I knew of a tea plantation hereby.
By 5.25pm I managed to cross over to Rimbayu development using a overhead crossing (un-tarred) the sky turned brighter and the rain became milder.
Moving on a road along Klang River on Jalan Jurutera towards Puchong.
At last I reached Puchong Prima LRT station that I can connect myself back to Setiawangsa. It was 6.50pm and my longest day for this tour.
Yes I have done it, I have completed my dream tour safely for 43 days, in 3 nations, 11 states and covering a distance of about 2,600km with a folding bicycle. Amazingly there wasn't a single tyre puncture and no untoward situation encountered. I was really blessed and it was nice to be back home again.
Extracted from Kasih Hospice Care Society's website for you to know more about this organisation.
KASIH HOSPICE CARE SOCIETY,KUALA LUMPUR & SELANGOR(KHC) first launched its services in 1997 with its trained volunteers visiting patients in hospitals on a regular basis to give them emotional and spiritual support. It later established its medical team in 2005 to fill a perceived service gap for those people wishing to remain at home whilst living with a life threatening illness. Most of the people who access our service have advanced cancers but there are some who suffer from serious non cancer illness such as AIDS, Motor Neurone Disease, End-stage organ failure,etc.
Palliative care is active holistic ‘whole person care’ with particular focus on pain and symptom management whilst also looking into the psychosocial and spiritual needs of the patient.Our team of committed doctors, nurses and volunteers give skillful and dedicated care to those who are very ill, irrespective of race, religion, age or financial status.
We are a non-governmental organisation with a not-for-profit philosophy and our services are free of charge. We are recognised as a service provider by the public and private hospitals in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding region.We assist people to maintain control over their lives and provide a home visitation service for those who require it. We support people of all belief systems on a non-denominational and non-discriminatory basis.
Helping others wherever one can, according to their needs, is the true expression of compassion. KHC aims to offer this gift of friendship, companionship, emotional and spiritual support to those individuals and their families who are facing life-threatening illness in a holistic manner.
