I do some exercises.. look it works.. but not so many sweats yet! Just a little bit.. but atleast my body got warming now.. Thanks GOD.. I drink a lot of waters already and pissing up a lot as well.. :) just not so much exit from my sweat.. hmmm.. hmmm.. hmm... :) I will ask advice from mbah google.. later.. how to get easy sweat on the 3 celcius temperature..:)

Overall I still excited with my new place here, eventhough it's kathar zone.. kathar.. but I have no other choice yet. I tried my best to enjoy it and follow the safety procedure and practice. I really love this lovely place, the people, the unique landscape of the town, and my first experiences being stay at the winter place! Soon I'll see the snow at my new place in a few days. Ahgggggg hardly waiting to see that.. the white white white snowing.. hmmm... can I manage the coldness there.. can I burn my blood everyday to fight with it.. can I ? maybe balai maybe ne!

Funny funny.. when we come back from the KBRI, which the weather outside the office was so cold, then we come inside the car and feeling the heat from the car heater.. that's cool.. Otherwise in Indonesia, we request to on the A/C, Here the contrary we are asking for the heating.. heheheh... I just smile.. this is unique.. though! And outside the room, I don't need to smoke! as when I blow the air, smokes coming out already ;)

Yeah.. hopefully and be friendly welcoming our guests, travelers to visit the Wonderful Indonesia 2011.. yeah.. welcome to Medan... Horas Medan!!

On Boat to Teluk Bahang Harbour

About two hours we stayed at the Monkey beach. We have decided to rent a boat to go back to Teluk Bahang. Some students who did tracking also, agreed to joint us and share the boat. They found the rental for 50RM one trip to go back to Teluk Bahang for maximum 10 passenger. We agreed with the price and be ready at 5pm to depart.

Some friend continue Their own activities, be instant models :) take photos here and there, swinging, or just walking around the beach. Myself continue my swimming, after so long! The water are good and warm and no Jelly Fish for sure! As it's isolated beach, not so many people here. If They want to relax and swimming here, They need to do jungle tracking or rent a boat. Overall the beach for me are nice, it's not long beach, but it's wonderful with white sands.

At 5pm we are ready to go back. The boat coming, so we go on boat. It's interesting trips, all people happy and smiling, as we don't need to walking back home for 1.5hours .. hehehehe. We took some photos on the boat, and around 10-15minutes we are already at Teluk Bahang pier. Hmmm so fast!.. We paid the bill, and go ahead to the registration counter, to sign and reported that we are back safely.

Light house.. light house.. next trip! built on 18centuries.. I wanna see :) hehehe we can go up to the light house also for free, but the operating hours just until 2pm.. so, we need to go earlier if we want to go there.. and it's farther.. far.. about 4000mtrs.. from National Park.. hmmm.. next time.. I said.. I'll try the LIGHT HOUSE!!

Mongkey Beach @ National Park Penang

The Monkeys Welcoming us!

From the waterfall exit, we took the bus to Teluk Bahang to go to Penang national park! We registered our names in the counters for free entrance! Then we asked the free map, review our next destination.. here it's Monkeys Beach.. hmm.. about 1500 meters, take times around 1.5-2hours to reach there.

I observed the faces of my Iranian tracking buddies! They look okay.. still survive and ready with a little bit lazy looks thinking about this tracking, another 1.5 hours walking man.. hehhehe.. But it's already set up and agreed. After registering our names, we start our tracking from the main entrance of National Park!

Along the tracking, the jungle paths are nice a little bit challenging, environment very nice and cold weather, we are rounding the beach through the jungle path, and humidity higher here. We passed by the USM Coastal Research Center area already, it's still about half way to go! It's a nice research center, just in the middle of jungles and just opposite is a beautiful beach with white sands and small nice pier.

My Iranian tracking buddies, start talking in Persian, Then I asked them, If they still want to continue until the Monkey beach or ending here. Most of them said, yeah we will proceed further to Monkey beach. Well We continue our tracking! the further the path more natural, and many big trees along with the strong roots appeared in the surface of the lands. While we come closer to the beach, the Monkeys welcoming us. Some monkeys blocking our ways, but while They saw us, They are running, climbing the trees, try to avoid us.. Their brothers and sisters :) hehehe

The monkeys here are tames enough, not as wild as in Bali, where the Monkeys like to grasp your things and return it when you feed them. :) So, it's always good not to feed them, let them feed by themselves in the natural way! We took some photos and videos of the monkeys then continue our tracks. Finally, we are here... nice and white sand beach!.. As my plan to go swim.. so, I'll :)

At Monkey beach, we are resting for a while. Our female Iranian trackers - the leader, the only female joint us, prepared some bread with vegetables, so we ate that nan. Then I'm going to have my swimming after so long! On way back we decided to rent a boat to go back to the harbor of Teluk Bahang! I Enjoy my swimming.. here at the Monkey Beach.

Exploring the Nature of Bt.Ferringgi Waterfall

First Experience @ Waterfall in Batu Ferringgi

To answer our curiosity regarding the waterfall in Bt. Ferringi, then myself and with some Iranian mates agreed to explore it. Our original plan actually doing our tracking to Penang national park and go further to Monkey Beach. As all agreed that we are going to stop a while to see the Bt.Ferringgi waterfall then here it's.

It's located around the Batu Ferringgi beach, just a few mater from the Bay View hotel. You will see a poor signboard that promote about the waterfall. We stopped near the signboard, as we talk to the bus driver that we are going off at waterfall.

From the main road to the waterfall, not very far, only about 300 meters. The road to go there, still okay.. not so much interesting and less of promotion. When we got closer to the location, we are still not sure yet..where is that actually, because none of us been here. We are starting to heard the sounds of droppings water calling us! We knew that we are getting closer.. and eventually we found the Batu Ferringgi Waterfall.

First expression.. not bad.. natural, and greener areas on the top of the waters. Many big and flat stones around, where the water falls and flows. The water clean, and not so many tourists or visitor here.. only five of us, and two locals. Excited.. not bad.. we felt that it's different.. so, not only beaches actually Bt.Ferringgi offers, but also the waterfall. It's tranquil and natural.. we like it.

Myself and dadash Ayoub, going up to the top until the source of the water that fall down. There is like small river or pond above the water fall surrounded by trees. It's very good up there, so serene and fresh air! We love that! Then we take some photos there! rest a while at the waterfall, having our snacks.. and decided to continue our tracking to national park.. at Mongkey Beach..... Mongkey Beach we are coming!.. The mongkeys are waiting for us there! hehehe

Paradise Beach

Hmggggggg!! I am feeling bloody bore recently! I need to deep my body inside the warm water, doing a bit working out .. swim in the beach, a prompt plan just come in mind.. then back from my school go a head home a while.. taking a small nap first.. being lazy and relax.. huh huh..

At 5pm.. I'm taking my bus from BJ to Tj.Bunga.. ahghh too late already.. but the desire so high.. then yeah I still continue to go to the paradise beach. I reach there around 6.20pm. Having small walk further to the location of big stones area.. Then here I am in the beach already.

It's a nice weather and beautiful beach view, as well as quiet! Breath in and out the fresh air, and taking some photos. I canceled the initial plan to swim in the beach due to limited time. This weekend.. I'll go to Kerachut beach to swim and enjoying the nature there. Though.. it's better plan.. I guess!

Action.. shoot.. click click! I set my camera for automatic self-photos then here the results!.. At 7.10pm.. I get ready in the bus to go back to George Town.....
