Legend has it tat a Sultan wanted to marry a princess.... he want to give gold..she says..beh sai! i want gold bridge..want to give silver..she say beh sai!! want silver bridge...then somemore want to drink 7 jars of virgin tears, 7 bowls of betel but juice..wanna eat 7 trays of mosquito heart.... kao peh kao bu complaint....then the sultan said....sama ho lu la..eh sai boh?? then she say...one more...one bowl of ur son's BLOOD!!! sultan tat time dunno one bowl wont die wan....anyway...He said 'siao cha bo##$%*() die la.!!!) ....and she lived there happily ever after..

the trip took us 40 minutes from Muar.. and some ambitious ppl wanted to climb it!! unfortunately, the sign there spells out the reason y we cant..


just a 30 minute walk up the mountain and ull come to a nice waterfall...since its drizzling tat time...the pressure of the stream was more powerful than usual...and its cooolllld!! a few dips and im shivering oledi...but the cold dun seem to affect Ching Mun though...haha





the old horse riding track tat my aunty mentioned has now became an ATV ground!! just for the heck of it since we havent tried b4, me and tek jee hopped on. me being crazy again, tried to rush up the slop, and me and the vehicle ended up in separate places. Tek jee was a bit more careful. just ended up ramming into a tree!!

and since Tek Jee brought 2 fishing rods, we tot we just give it a shot at Tanjung.. as it turns out...NO ONE was fishing there!!! it took some guts to climb down the railing hop around on the slippery rocks on the mud.. Ching Mun...ahem....wasnt too lucky as he dipped her legs into mud a few times....

so...as she went back up to find place to wash...it is up to Tek Jee alone to get a fish... in a low tide, polluted river. with onli one weight, which is thrown back by the waves everytime u cast out, and a china made fishing rod....with ppl all around watching...wondering how come theres a guy fishing here...waiting to see if he can even get an old boot...

and he waited.. and waited....as mosquitoes sucked his blood
and we came back to call it quits....

and voila!!!! fish!!! against all odds... although just a small one...but still..a small miracle given the situation tat time.. bravo tek jee!!! tanjung hero!!

later on we were told tat the fish cant be eaten....so..too bad we didn get to savour the catch...but wat a happy day it has been....

and thank God for good weather, great company, my wonderful aunty and a trip i wont forget..
