Grey November

Work has taken me this time to Langkawi Island for a project that’s been handed down to me.

Four Seasons Resort Langkawi is one of the two 5 star resorts along my destination just beside the neighbouring Tg. Rhu Resort.

The hour long flight and a mere 20 minute cruise along the roads of Langkawi Island brought me to the north end of geopark at Tanjong Rhu Beach.  Ever wondered why it’s called Tg. Rhu?

Tg. Rhu or Casuarina Cape is home to Casuarina trees, mangroves and limestone hills.

Even though most of the beach is owned by the resorts, there is a public beach right at the end of Jln Tg. Rhu that is home to local traders.  Boating activities are as low as RM 180 for a boat rental for 7 people.

Tg. Rhu beach fronts the Andaman Sea, with gentle stroaking waves and a 1.5km white sandy beach.  IMHO, it’s not that beautiful in comparison with Pulau Perhentian but its exclusiveness appeals to the luxury class foreigners from Arab.

Rooms at both resorts starts from RM 1,600 per night to RM 17,000.  I gathered from the locals here that Michael Schumacher is a frequent visitor to Tanjong Rhu.

Putting that all aside, I love the sounds of the waves as they gush towards the shoreline especially when you are thinking of the sheer size of the world that lies beyond you.

Yesterday I was with my colleagues, Boone and Azrina on a site visit to the Mini Hydro project in Sg. Perting.  Its located directly above Chamang Falls around 9 km from Bentong town.  Nope, no work related pictures for you guys out there, but I took the liberty of snapping up a few shots of the air terjun.

Chamang Falls is one of the nicer waterfalls in Peninsular.  Instead of just a one of drop, it cascades into a long stream.

Sg. Perting is rather wide and there’s this really nice titi gantung transversing across it.

Can someone please explain to me what is HUTAN PELAJARAN?

Chamang Falls would make a nice and quiet family getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The best thing?  Its just 45 minutes away from KL.

02/06/08 marks the day that I finally step forth into the working world.  I had mixed feelings about it at first; leaving the jovial and carefree days of university and entering headfirst into an unknown region, not knowing how and where life would take me.

To those that do not know, I currently working in capacity as an Trainee Environmental Consultant with a great company called ERE Consulting Group located in USJ21.  The working environment is great with real friendly colleagues.

I cant wait to get my name card!
