Took pictures at Kuala Penyu..
My life has been pretty boring, dull and dried without having a part-time job during this half-year long "holiday", while awaiting for the release of UPU, followed by others Uni's offering, which is a new milestone for my further studies in life. How we think of happiness is different for each of us. Some find happiness in the pursuit of power, reputation, wealth, material gains etc. As for me, happiness can be achieved easily through living peacefully with my family members, or person of whom I take care... maybe through a vacation... XD
Yes, my cousin, my family and I went for a vacation in Kuala Penyu, approximately 120km with 2 hours drove from KK. Tough a merely 2 days 1 night trip, we were exhausted and felt happily throughout the trip. Kuala Penyu was indeed a beautiful place I've been for its attractive sea view, Monkey Top Safari and other interesting scenery. However, there was no any turtle we could see here at Kuala Penyu though. Maybe there was in the past and it was already extincted at present. As like other towns in Sabah, Kuala Penyu is a small town with few row of shops, a market where the fishermen were selling fishes there. At town, we've seen many people were fishing at the beach and sometimes there was a competition to see who got the most fishes at given time..
We headed to the Top Safari located somewhere along the way to the town of Kuala Penyu at last Friday's afternoon. As expected, the weather was bad as it had been raining nearly every afternoon in KK yet we still carried on and prepared for the worst! Luckily there wasn't, so we were thankful to God for the wonderful weather that day. After about 2 hours drove from KK, we arrived and were having a afternoon tea break together with few Japanese tourists before starting our river cruise to see the proboscis monkeys which threaten with extinction, and fireflies at night. It was an amazing view to the weird movement of wild monkeys as we were screaming and shouting of seeing them. Maybe it was a nuisance for the tourists who were together at the same boat with us. One of them was using a super long camera that likely same with or even higher price than our national car, Proton ^^ We could see a lots of various type of monkeys there and it took about 1 and half hour all the way. At night, we also took a 15-20 Mins to see fireflies around the trees at riverside. We were able to see thousands of fireflies sparking its light on a tree. We feel relax and appreciate of what we've seen there away from the hustle and bustle city's life. Besides, we took our dinner there as prepared to us before heading to our living place at Sawangan.
My uncle rent 3 cottages there with all fully air-conditional except for our old, lousy and fragile wooden cottage. It was beneficially for having a kitchen and corridor compare to others 2. We decided to take the old one and let my cousin to take the "better" one. It was actually a private resort owned by the residents living there and they build small cottage themselves to earn money by inviting companions or tourists to stay there. I went and swim at the Sawangan beach which I could see Pulau Tiga straight across the sea. As we can ill to afford the expensive transport fee to Pulau Tiga, we decided to go next time. During our stay at Sawangan, we cooked ourselves and eat Maggi with 3 in 1 coffee to satisfy our hunger. My mom has also bought a huge shell with a mere cost of RM 30, which is pretty cheap that we can't get it elsewhere.
We really enjoy and happy our vacation to Kuala Penyu and it's given me an opportunity of knowing this wonderful place which is new and fresh for me.
On top of that, the fresh air and splendid sunset view is always alluring to me.
