A trip to Kuala Selangor

It’s been awhile since I last blogged. I believe I had an entry for the birthday do we had for my precious but I had problems loading the pictures then I cant remember what happened.

Anyway, it was the school holidays recently and since our plans to go up north to Ipoh and Penang got cancelled, we decided to join a trip to Kuala Selangor instead. And I must say we went with very little expectations but came away from that trip totally awed!

The place is steep in in history and we had fun at the museums. We saw everything from an old Japanese bicycle, read on the lineage of the Sultanate and even visited a torture well. We also never saw as many monkeys coming at us ever before, they are certainly much friendlier than he ones at Botanical Garden. De Palma where we stayed also had loads of fun for us..although I shall not dwell on what happend to me that nite...errr...that part a bit eerie laaa....

Seafood was wonderful and cheap but of course the highlight of the trip was the fireflies. (well, the seafood comes in at a close second..ha ha...)

The berembang trees that lined the river were truly amazing, and it was completely humbling to see God's creation..trees and tress all lighted up like it was Christmas. Truthfully, it kinda freaked me out that we were actually on the boat, on the river in the dark of the night (but with lifejackets of course) but the excitement just blew me away. The night was full of stars that night and made my preious break out in Josh Groban's Starry starry nite. I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a nite so full of stars...it was simply gorgeous...!! Who can see a starry nite living in KL, tell me?

Our program with the rest of the group ( asthmatic kids mostly) went well too and everyone had loads of fun that 2 whole days.

For those who have never had a chance to visit Kuala Selangor, you should! Did you all know that fireflies have a life span of only 2-3 months? And that Kuala Selangor is the only one out of 2 places in the world where we can actually view fireflies that way? The other place is in the Amazon..deep in the jungle where you would need to track miles and miles..I bet you didnt know that right...
