The World From My Eyes

I just came back from a 2D 1N trip to Gohtong Jaya. This trip that was postponed for quite some time as some of us always had plans during weekend. We finally decided to go this weekend, even though it was Mother’s Day weekend. But we’re running out of time and Selvi’s leaving Malaysia soon. The whole purpose of this trip was to celebrate Selvi’s last days as a single lady as a month from now, she’ll be someone’s wife.     After work on Friday, the 7 of us head to Gohtong in two cars. The journey was not that long, it was only about 40 minutes from Petaling Jaya and since we finished our work early, we managed to skip the after work traffic. We reached Mawar (Whatsapp autocorrect it as Me War) Apartment at around 5pm. Once we’re there, we put all of our stuff in the apartment and head down to the BBQ area and prepared for our Hot Pot dinner.  Heading towards GohTong Jaya after work Heading towards the BBQ area There were lots of veggies that Wan Ling’s mum...

Day 4: Started the day by visiting Serikin Market, a weekend market at the Malaysia-Indonesia border. We head out at 7am as we wanted to reach there before it gets too hot. Our ex-colleague, Yanthi was supposed to join us to the market, but when we went to pour petrol, she noticed that there’s a nail on her back left tyre. We changed the tyre but when we put the reserve tyre, it has no air in it and when we want to add air into it, the air won’t go in. So, she decided to take her car to the nearest workshop and we proceed with our plan to Serikin Market. Changing tyre of Yanthi's car We departed to Serikin Market at 8am and the journey was about 1 hour. By the time we reached there, it was a bit hot as the sun was already up. You can find various items here, from clothes, shoes, to kitchen appliances and home decor. People claimed that the items here are cheap. I would agree to some extent. The girls bought shoes here for the price of RM14 per pair and it was very comfor...

We started the day later than previous day. Since the cave closed yesterday, we went to Wind Cave in Bau first. It’s called Wind Cave as you can feel a slight breeze when walking inside the cave. The entrance fee was only RM1. The cave was very dark, you need to bring torch light in here as it’s very dark. (You can use your hand phone light or you can rent head lamp for RM3 at the ticket counter).  At the cave entrance You can see the stalactite, stalagmite and some fruit bats in the cave. There’s a total of three passage trails inside the cave and there’s a boardwalk throughout the trails. It took us 1 hour to cover all the three trails. Be careful when you walk along the trail as the railings were covered with guano and it’s a bit slippery at some places. It would be better if they put some yellow light inside the cave to enhance some of the structures inside the cave.  Map of the 3 passages Things that we saw inside the cave.
