A Talk At The Matahari Club, Bukit Rimau

Yesterday evening, Kota Kemuning Pacers were invited to give a talk about running activities during a 'POTBLESS' organised by the church members from the Assembly of God. It was an unexpected surprise to have been given the recognition to conduct such a talk.

Once again, we would like to thank the organisers of the 'POTBLESS' for extending us the opportunity to 'PLY OUR TRADE'. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded to relay the message to all the attendees on the general idea of "STAYING HEALTHY THROUGH SHARING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY".

As our slogan goes, "Running is real and relatively simple" and it's applicable to everyone. Running is indeed real as each and everyone of us are born with this natural gift. Simple because we are in control ... we are constantly in the driver's seat ... we decide when we choose to just get up and GO!

For all the other members of Kota Kemuning Pacers who could not join us at the 'POTBLESS', here's a little glimpse into the array of home-cooked food and the activities held yesterday.

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.

KK Pacers Potluck Bash

It was a night of merriment when all Kota Kemuning Pacers turned up for the inaugral Potluck Bash. It was a huge SUCCESS!



Faces we've not seen, names we've only heard but yet to meet. For some, spouses and children were in tow lending their warm support. It was the perfect atmosphere for all as smiles and handshakes were exchanged throughout the evening. New friends were made while there were some renewed contacts.

FOOD! The food galore was definitely the excitement of the day. Everyone had looked forward to the different dishes pledged for the past weeks and WOW!!!

We had a "INTERNATIONAL BUFFET" right by the Kota Kemuning Lake! There were Western delights like sandwiches, muffins and coleslaw, Chinese 'loh mai kai' and 'mui choy', Indian idli and capati with dhall curry, Malay fried meehoon, chicken rendang, curry chicken and roti jala, Italian spaghetti bolognaise and pizzas, Japanese sushi, Mexican empanadas, Thai pandan chicken as well as 'agar-agar', 'konyaku jelly' and lots of fruits for desserts.

The evening could not be complete until everyone joined in a small birthday sing-along for our August babies (Edmund, Elijah, Nathan & Raymond) with a whopper 1.5kg Boston Cheesecake to top the evening's gastronomic affair.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TO THE AUGUST BABIES!

As for all the members of the Kota Kemuning Pacers who had made it to the bash, thank you all very much for making the evening a huge success. Another round of thanks goes out to your family too. For those who could not make it this time, don't be disappointed ... we can look forward to seeing you at the next get-together! This success only comes to show the strong support we have received from the communities of Kota Kemuning, Bukit Rimau, Kemuning Greenville, Kemuning Utama and Taman Sri Muda. In fact, we are very proud to boast the strong support from our members from as far as Puchong!

KUDOS TO ALL OUR MEMBERS! Click here to check out the memorable evening.
