Panchor jetty during Lantern Festival

Continuing from Lantern Festival at Panchor, Muar.



On to the Panchor jetty which faces the Muar river just besides the portion of town reserved for the Lantern Festival. Some decorations have been added especially for the festival..

Continuing from Recreational area of Sungai Talan.



Tuesday afternoon 17th September 2024 I brought the wife and kids along with my parents to have lunch at the small town of Panchor, Muar.



It happened that an event called Pesta Tanglung (Lantern Festival) is being held 14th-17th September.













While it should be more prominent when the lanterns are lighted at night it is already a sight to behold during daytime...




















Recreational area of Sungai Talan

Peace be upon you. Just some recent stories.



Yesterday, Monday afternoon 16th September 2024. On way to my parents' place in Muar I stopped by at this place.









This is because the kids wanted to take a dip at a river.






This place called Sungai Talan, just a few kilometres south of the town of Rembau is the closest one I could find not far off from the route to Muar...





















Oh. There is a missing "T" there...

Climbing up Bukit Besi in Kuala Lumpur

Peace be upon you all. Another hill climbing story.




Friday afternoon 13th September 2024 I decided to climb the hill called Bukit Besi in Kuala Lumpur.




Although I arrived at the start of this particular trail at around 6.40 I decided to press on...












It was approaching dusk but that did not deter me.







Actually I've targeted this hill for climbing since at least a decade ago.







But it was only recently that I took the major step of identifying how to go up.




There. A telecommunication facility sits right up at its summit, about 291 metres above sea level. That is the same height of another hill I climbed just over a week earlier. Look at the following articles :-






A look around from a point just before the summit...











Oh. These pictures were taken at around 7.17 pm.
