Happy Birthday To Our September Babies!

So fast?!! Another month gone by with just a wink of the eye! The Ramadhan fasting is over and the Hari Raya Aidil-Fitri just passed. Tomorrow will be a brand new month, October.

Time really flies and Kota Kemuning Pacers undoubtedly is growing. Tonight, new faces joined the old faces to celebrate the birthday get-together for all our September babies ... Wenny, Sandy, Meeza and Yoga. Unfortunately, Yoga could not make it tonight due to some personal commitment. The cake was lovely and rich ... an American Chocolate Cake. For our members who could not make it tonight, here's a picture of the cake for your viewing pleasure ... temptingly delicious, don't you agree?

A Day Trip To Sungai Klah Hotsprings

As usual, meeting place was at McDonald's Kota Kemuning. Everyone dutifully came on time and with some last minute updates, we started on our journey to the much anticipated Sungai Klah Hotspring Park in Sungkai, Perak.

In a convoy of 4 cars, we headed straight towards Tanjung Malim for our breakfast at Yik Mun Restaurant, especially famous for its 'pau'. Thinking that it might be somewhat ready for business when we arrived at about 8.30 am, we were all in for a damper. They would not be ready for business until 9.30 am. Hungry stomachs and coffee cravings still needed attention, so we had our breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.

We arrived at the Sungai Klah Hotspring Park at about 10.15 am before heading off for some trekking, hoping to find a waterfall for a nice cold dip. Much to our disappointment, there were no signages to guide us along the way. However, we did managed to find our way to the river bank where everyone enjoyed refreshing cold water gushing at their feet. As we made our way further along the trail, we came across an 'orang asli' settlement and a group of students from UPSI undertaking their test in white water rafting. Sure looks dangerous! We continued trekking upstream for another hour looking for the elusive waterfall. Unexpectedly, we were met with a dead-end to our trail. We decided to turn back to the hotspring park as the trail ahead were dangerously rocky and were not suitable for the young ones.

We made our way back the hotspring park by 1.30 pm where we had a little tea-break at the canteen. Then, it was off to the hotspring pools. There was yet another dissappointment for the day ... the cold pool was closed for renovation. We could only get to enjoy the hotspring and therapeutic pools. No doubt they had reduced the entrance fee accordingly, but half the fun was gone without the cold pool , especially for the children. Anyhow, the children still enjoyed themselves at the hot pool while the adults relaxed into sleep mode ... too long dip into pool can caused drowsiness.

We left the hotspring park at 6.30 pm and popped by our favourite 'makcik's' home, hoping to find some durians for dessert. Too bad again. Our favourite 'makcik' had gone for her 'umrah' and was only due back that night. What about the durians? They were still hanging on the trees! NO DURIANS FOR DESSERT FOLKS!!!

We popped in at our regular restaurant in Slim River for dinner. It was a sumptious dinner with their ever popular 'River Tapah Fish in Claypot', 'Terrapin Braised with Herbs', 'Pork-leg Braised with Turnips' and fresh garden veggies. Not satisfied that we had missed the famous Tanjung Malim 'pau' in the morning, everyone was unanimous to have a cuppa and some of those famous 'pau' before heading for home.

We finally called it a day when we left for home by 9.30 pm. Catch our day's fun at our Photo Album or go ahead and click here.
