There Are No Seafoods At Tanjung Balau!
After playing with the animals at Mutiara Motor Resort, we were feeling hungry. It’s around 4 or 5 pm and we haven’t had our lunch yet. So, I remembered my friend’s story about nice and fresh seafood he had at Tanjung Balau. Excited to have fresh seafood for dinner, we head over to tanjung balau.
Tanjung Balau is quite small town. They have one fishermen village which I believe is a relocation area for them. Their original village might have been taken to build resorts. Though it is a fishermen town, to my dismay that there are no stalls or restaurant preparing seafoods. What a surprise?!
Anyway, they do have nice view. All beach views are nice, aren’t they?

Planning A Vacation II
After deciding where to go and how many days for vacation, it’s time to list down what are the things you wanna do in that particular place. In my case, it is Ipoh and surrounding town. Let’s see my list:
- Pasar Karat – Only on Sunday morning, somewhere in Ipoh town.
- Bukit Merah Lake Town Resort. Alternatively, we can just visit the Tambun Lost World – Is that right?
- Bukit Larut – also known as Maxwell Hill, situated 10kms from Taiping. They said that to get there we have to use 4×4 vehicle. Anyway, I am going to drive a Ford Ranger, so it must be possible. Or else, you can hire a land rover at the foot of the hills.
- Kellie’s Castle – Situated somewhere in Ipoh-Batu Gajah road. Must use sampan to get there.
- The royal town of Kuala Kangsar – 40kms north of Ipoh, three important buildings to see are Istana Kenangan, Iskandariah and Ubudiah Mosque.
- Taiping – the night zoo and the state museum
- Caving – there are many caves around Ipoh town, one of it is Gua Tempurung
- Tambun Hot Springs
- Malaysia’s first rubber tree in Kuala Kangsar
- Ipoh Cave temple like Sam Poh Tong
- Kuala Gula Bird Santuary – I am not sure where is this place, but will find more information about it..
- Perak’s Geological museum
Perak is also known for it’s delicious delicacies.

Mutiara Motor Beach Resort Has Lots Of Animals
My husband wanted to know where did we go for our Bina Insan Guru (BIG) camp. So, I guided him to the Mutiara Motor Beach Resort.
Frankly, though the chalets looks very nice and beautiful, I wouldn’t know if it is really as nice to stay as what it looks on the outside. Because, we stayed in camps for the 4 days 3 night during the camp. That’s why they called it BIG camp. We really camped.
Fadil (nephew) was very excited when we reached here, because the place has a lots of animals. From the deers, tiger, lion to turtle. The best part was he wanted to be captured on cameras with every animals he could found here. And he ensured that I showed the pictures to his mummy.
He stand next to the tiger, so close that he could touch the neck. Then he asked me why the lion is white? So I asked him back what is the colour of a lion? He said that it supposed to be yellow. So I praised him for being clever, and told him that maybe the lion was wrongly coloured. Is there any white lion?
Then, Fadil wanted me to captured his photo with the turtle. He goes overboard by standing on the turtle. He saw the ikan todak (hey, what do we call this in english?) and said that he wanted to take picture with it. But he was so afraid to go near it, that my husband has to accompanied him.
Before we get back to the car, Fadil insisted to take another picture with the deers. My husband asked the guardian if Fadil could sit on the deer. Guess what? You don’t have to be Santa Claus and delivers the presents for Christmas to ride the deer.
Oopp.. Forgot to tell ya that all the animals are faked. They are made from cemenfero.

Beautiful Scenery At Tanjung Sedili, Kota Tinggi
It’s the Hajj season, and in a few days we will celebrating the Hari Raya Haji. My husband’s cousins were going to do their hajj. Their flight is on 1st December. We went to see them, just before they leave the house for the airport. Lots of relatives were there too including my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and her children.
I haven’t gone anywhere since the holiday, so I thought that I would want to see the school which I’ll be doing my practicum, next year. It’s situated somewhere near Kota Tinggi.. In tanjung sedili, to be exact. Well, I don’t know what I am going to do there, I am sure there’s a lot of stuffs to be done during practicum, that I hope I’ll be as busy as possible so I wouldn’t realize that I might have internet problem there.. 
I am still working on how do I get my internet line there – I don’t see any cybercafes around.
Anyway, one thing I am sure that the place has beautiful sceneries. Near to the jetty, there is one stall selling keropok lekor which claimed were ‘imported’ from Mersing.. Hahaha.. They wrote the word imported there.. I forgot to snap a picture of it.
One of my sister-in-law’s child, Fadil, insists that he wants to follow us for ‘jalan-jalan’. My husband promised him to take him out because there was one time when we only brought his sister to KL. He is only 4 years old and he was very happy to follow us out.

More Beautiful Sceneries In Sedili Besar, Kota Tinggi
From Tanjung Sedili, we headed to Sedili Besar. Trying out the new bridge connecting Tanjung Sedili and Sedili Besar. Previously, we have to use boats to get to Sedili Besar from Tanjung Sedili. Or if you want to reach Sedili Besar by road, you have to come from Mersing. That’s what the locals told me.
After the bridge has been built, there no more boats serviced from Tanjung Sedili to Sedili Besar. I would love to take a ride if there is a boat.
There is a resort in Sedili Besar, the locals said that it’s good – have beautiful sceneries where you can romantically watch the sunset or sunshine. However, when we arrived at the resort, the guard wouldn’t let us in because he said the boss said so. They were filled with bigshots from across the straits, and not interested with some locals like us who droves only small white car.
What to do? We find our way to watched the sea and captured some nice shots from my Motorola V3X.
