Finally! Oh My God! Must be the blessings showered upon me from afar, from the gods in South India. After years of faulty failures to planning and literally coaxing my other half-half for years as well. Hah! In the end, I gave a damn to every damn thing aside. Let alone this man I have been married to for donkeys years who wouldn't move his butt in accompanying me for a trip to South India. His reason. Mmmm! Plain simple and nothing new. Work commitment. Nevermind I told myself and instead of still keeping my fingers crossed, hoping things will change on my home front, I gave up. I went ahead by joining a tour. Tour of 8 people and mind you, except for knowing one person, the one who organised this tour, the rest unknown. Like it mattered to me anyway? Like you are friends needy for travelling and me, already crowned as a solo-traveller.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 2
What else (Sekinchan Part 1)? What else must or should be considered as part and parcel of our sightseeing in Sekinchan? Okay. Lemme start. Ah Ma House, which by the way, wasn't like a major thing for us, thereafter, we heading to Paddy Processing Factory & Gallery. Just a short drive by the way. Within a distance of 3 or most to most 4 minutes. Anyway, Sekinchan, for your information, is a small town and most, in fact, all the sightseeing spots are located within a short distance. Plus, let me tell you ahead that sightseeing in Sekinchan can be completed within, a day or even lesser. Unless, of course, you want to remain in Sekinchan for another day or two? For reasons best known to you? Go ahead. Your time, you decide.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 1
Sekinchan. I was told that
Sekinchan located in Sabak Bernam, Selangor is a must do. Yes. Must do (Cameron Highlands Pahang). Do or
die kinda, I shouldn't miss out on exploring Sekinchan (Alor Setar Revisited). Told by who by the way?
Well. Those who have already, obviously explored Sekinchan and Sekinchan,
obviously too, for your information, already profoundly known in the virtual
world (Frasers Hill Pahang). What else was I told about Sekinchan? I was told that the primarily or
central attraction in Sekinchan must be none other than the paddy fields. Paddy
fields, especially when they are at their green-green or full blown yellow
lush. Also, just before or right before harvesting. Honestly, to tell you the
truth, I have been planning for a trip to Sekinchan for almost a year, but been put on hold due to the weather. Weather either unbearably burn-baby-burn
hot or rainy season lashing merciless. Finally, somehow, taking into
considering that weather can be tolerated, though still the hot season, me
tripping to Sekinchan and prior to arriving in Sekinchan, we stopping by in
Restoran Suang Le River (Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor) for lunch.

Alor Setar Revisited (Nava K Tripping)
Alor
Setar. Yes. Nava K returned to Alor
Setar again. Alor Setar. The state capital of Kedah and the second
largest city after Sungei Petani. By the way, any particular reason why we made
this trip to Alor Setar? Nothing really. Except maybe, instead of returning
home after being in Penang, we thought it will be a great idea to catch up with
our Alor Setar friends we have not seen for some time and also, some free, easy
time for ourselves. Of course, ultimately, when friendship is a concern for us Malaysians?
I'm sure you must be agreeing. We Malaysians no matter what, must bond
friendship over food. Precisely. We arriving in Alor Setar by noon and
alongside our friends, 5 of them, plus obviously at their recommendation, lunching in
Numeral Eight Curry House.

Cameron Highlands - Pahang (Nava K Travelling Gram) Day 2
Cameron Highlands and sightseeing? Of course. Without a doubt. Pretty much, and me enthusiastically
looking forward to Cameron Highlands and yes, coming with it, parcelled and packaged together sightseeing. Sightseeing. Honest to goodness everyone, I so, so love sightseeing. No
matter where I travel to (Bentong Pahang, Melaka & Langkawi) and the places I have in fact travelled to so far (Osaka Japan, Surakarta & Betong Thailand). Whether in
country Malaysia bound or across the sea traveling. For me personally, travelling is a
not a complete platform without sightseeing. Said it all supposedly. By 11.00am next morning, we hopping into the cab. Prior arrangement made the day earlier (Cameron Highlands Part 1), also, we agreeing to pay RM40.00 per hour.

Bubur Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice Sweet Porridge)
Bubur Pulut Hitam. Black Glutinous Rice Sweet Porridge. Ohhh yeess, and yes, and yes. My favourite sugar rushing or non-rushing dessert. In fact, for a fact, this easy to put together sweet porridge (Bubur Kacang Hijau/Green Bean Sweet Porridge) has conquered the number one spot amongst the rest of our Malaysian desserts for me personally. How do we make Bubur Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice Sweet Porridge)? Very easy. Uncomplicated. Simmer and add the few ingredients as listed below and there you have - soft tender black glutinous rice, scented by pandan/screwpine leaves (Kuih Buah Melaka & Pandan Cheesecake), sweetened by white or brown sugar or Gula Melaka/palm sugar and creaminess from coconut milk. You can if you like, add sago as well (Pumpkin Sago Dessert & Malaysian Sago Pudding) and Bubur Pulut Hitam can be a choice between, either a cold or hot sweet dessert.

Cameron Highlands - Pahang (Nava K Travelling Gram)
Cameron Highlands. Let me recall. My last trip to Cameron Highlands? Oh my goodness me mamma-mia! Back then in my teens. Like, 30 over years ago. Years and years back then. Ages ago for a fact precisely (Perak Travel). To tell you the truth, I can't even remember what I did or where I went in Cameron Highlands. Duh! Anyway, that was then and after all these years, I returned to Cameron Highlands again. Cameron Highlands, by the way, for your information, is now a travelling show stealer (Pulau Ketam Selangor). Obviously, the travelling momentum in Cameron Highlands has picked up tremendously. I was told by my friends who have already explored Cameron Highlands that, traffic jam during public holidays, school holidays and weekends is crazily massive. Until it can halt your driving throughout this hilly, mountainous, cool and fresh weather district located in Pahang. Aside to traffic, Cameron Highlands clearly had already obtained its badge, furthermore, stamped as the escape route out of our stressful city life. Stress and city life! Tell me about it (Kuantan Pahang).
