Mr Nitzus; The mastermind, the planner, the everything just did it again, with style!. I love this guy for simply knowing how to make us happy. Just to let you know, he’s the one who introduced board games to the office. For every new games arrived which he bought using his own money, he will passionately assembles everything accordingly, then with pleasure, explains the rules and let colleagues play. This guy is also a source for anything from .bdrip to .dvdrip, from tear jerking melodramatic movies to action pack to sci-fi, from tv series to funny adverts, mind blowing photos and super cool video clips. You name it, if the cyber world had it, he will get it for you, FOC. Philanthropic!

Anyway, the itineraries were:
Gather/Breakfast @ Jln Duta

Stop @ Pantai Remis

Kuala Selangor Nature Park exploration.
Fee is RM4/person.


Groupies before tracking. Notice the individuality in dressing?

There are four clearly marked trails varying from 30 minutes to 80 minutes, youngsters like us mestilah chose the longest. I didn’t know that the trail is actually a walkable path that even a bus can get through. No wonder they dress annoyingly casual. grrr..


Map is available at every entry point. Nitzus showing the trails.

To get to the mangroves, there’s a brackish lake. The bund is a manmade embankment to keep water levels (a mix of seawater and river water) in the lake suitable for birds to feed and multiplying. For us, it becomes the trail and this means easy access to the mangroves. There are 3 viewing towers and birdwatching is perhaps the most exciting activity here. Do climb the tower because even without binoculars or long lens camera you can easily spot the birds from there.

Ye, gayat...


Layan gayat di tower 1, tetapi tetap nak panjat the next one!

Walking in the mangroves is easy as wooden boardwalks have been constructed and it leads right to the mudflats into the Straits of Malacca. We were lucky as it was low tide; tiny little creatures are easily spotted. Colorful crabs were running frantically into tiny hole in the mud, mudskippers were as huge as a fish and mollusks were everywhere. I strongly believe the mangrove is home to countless other living things, but for the untrained ear and eye like us, their presences were not indefinite. Thanks to the hiruk pikuk bersembang, stopid jokes, and jeritan manja. Well, highly anticipated when none is a seasoned walker. Eh, En Nitzus selalu masuk hutan kan?




spot the crabs! dan aksi photographer terlampau.







Menikmati Selat Melaka beramai-ramai.

Working in KL and having to face the crazy traffic on daily basis vs being here, breathing the damp salty air leaves me with a feeling of deep appreciation of nature’s abundance. KNSP is definitely worth a visit.



Bukit Melawati photography session:
supposedly with the monkeys, can u spot one?


best pose of all! Tukang amek gambar yang rajin melayan.



Seafood Crazy Lunch @ Rest Kuan Hwa


Shopping bekalan anak laki/bini @ Kedai Hasil Laut Lai Hin.
