see that? we arrived at the foot of bukit malawati at 9 am. see the sun shining brightly? yes, semangat tak semangat kan mangket awal gila nak pi berjalan (lps tu esok tu bgn tatau pukul berapa. haha habis homestay jadi mcm umah sendiri)

 

the driver. covers his head with a kind of earphone that will drown down the noise from the bus that will bring us to the top. the charge will be RM 2 if you just want to go up. but for a package to the aquarium,you need to add another RM 1.

during weekdays, tourists can drive to the top of the hill but not during weekends. and wear ample sunblock (don't leave it in the car like some people (points to moi) and also the umbrella). bring tons of water. its hot and time just flies when you are up bukit malawati.

 

see if you can read it. but if you can't here's a snippet. there used to be lots of wars or rather, fights on bukit malawati. it was taken from one hand and passed on to another. don't miss out on the museum of kuala selangor that tells a lot of stories about this place. 

 this is the view from the top of the hill. you can actually see the straits of malacca from here so one can imagine that this used to be a perfect place to see when the enemy is coming and such

 

balai cerap.

 lighthouse. feel free to tilt your head around 45 degrees to the left (footnote: malas nak edit)

 

 

 in the kuala selangor historical museum. not sure what this is because we are more concerned on taking pictures.

this is actually a 50-gallon fire extinguisher, imported from the UK to be used by the police force in Malaya

 

 reenactment of what happened here. oke, actually we do not know exactly how the battle in bukit malawati happened but good effort people.

the most appropriate caption should be: the murder of mineral water - the fight for basic needs of life

macam hape je kau ni T_T

 

this is the place. the kota malawati fort. there are still several canons up there but we are not sure whether its the authentic or not. 

 

trying to steal the sepak takraw (hobi saya adalah letak gamba senget tengs)

 

 yes go syud go!

next picture: zahidah trying her luck.

 tarik jgn tak tarik. at another museum showing games played by kids.

 

 they sure are thirsty playing congkak. let me help you with the drinks

 

poisoned well on kota malawati. this is the place where they torture the criminals. the well will be filled with things that will slowly but surely kill the criminals. criminals will be put in the well with the water well up to their chin. they will be placed under rain and sun, waiting for the death. 

 

mouseloum for the royals

 

and we wonder who actually wants to live here because its kind of scary

 

 with huge gargantuan rocks. haha gargantuan adalah melebih-lebih

 

 we had this after the trip, which is so really hot. don't leave your umbrella at home but make sure the umrella is a lot bigger than this blue umbrella. ngehehehe

 

 next up: visit to the aquarium and taman alam
