Peace be upon you all. Just a story from a recent small trip...
Just over a week ago I attended a 3-day writing workshop on children's book held at a resort in Tanjung Tuan near Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. The place has a hill with protected recreational forest. On the second day, Thursday I decided to take a walk up.
I have been to this forest and up the hill at least 3 times.
You can read some information on it by clicking at this picture or opening it in a new window.
I was joined by a number of workshop participants.
Surprisingly most of them were female!
What happened was at the end of a workshop session I made an announcement inviting the guys to join me for a climb up this hill in the evening.
Unexpectedly it was the girls who gave a resounding response and insisted on me leading. Well, I have no problem with that. You see I found the hill such an interesting and intriguing place that it would be a shame if anyone ever go to Tanjung Tuan without climbing it. For apart from the soothing greenery of the forest the hill has a light house with its original structure built during the time of Portugese rule of Melaka 500 years ago!
The view of the Straits of Melaka from the base of the light house is also a must see. If I'm not mistaken out of the 50 or so participants of the workshop only 5 have ever been to Tanjung Tuan before.
And among the 5 perhaps only 3 have been up this hill...
If I've counted correctly there were 16 participants who joined me for this walk. I am sure everyone enjoyed the view and surroundings.
There. Despite some of them getting tired the girls were in high spirit.
