Dinner at Morib (Bagan Lalang)

(Spicy Chili Crab,Grill Fish & Fried Vege.Food was good & price was quite cheap!)

Juz a few hours earlier, I had seafood for dinner at Restaurant Senandung Malam located in Morib Beach (at the southern end of the Selangor state) approximately 1 1/2 hour' drive from Kuala Lumpur. So,what's cool in Morib? Well, Morib is also home to a wealth of historical sites. There are the ruins of old government buildings and the royal graves at Jugra, including an abandoned palace from the 1800's...It is also noted for being one of the first landing points on the west coast for the British and Indian Army liberation forces during World War 2. Right now one of the lates attraction there is the Sepang Gold Coast...Its a luxurious resorts and from the sky view, it looks like a shape of a "palm tree".

Fireflies at Kampung Kuantan (Kuala Selangor Location 2)

 This is one of the most amazing thing to experience that i ever had!!!...to sit in a small canoe not to worry, there are life-jacket for all...to see small beetle (firefly) lighting up tress that turns out like a Christmas tree :) Tips!!! It is advisable to go there when it is not full moon & not during raining evening. So you can see the fireflies clearly. Ok, it takes about 90mins from Kuala Lumpur to Kampung Pahang! Ticket for Sampan Ride is RM40 (per boat) Oh yeah! bring along mosquito repellent just in-case! :) Fun facts about fireflies, they feed on leaves from the "berembang trees" which you can see along the riverbanks.Firefly is called Kelip-Kelip in the local language. Each of the berembang tree has different groups of fireflies and each groups has flashes that are synchronised!!! Fascinating isn't it :) If your lucky one might fly to you... The park opened from 7.30pm and closes at 10.30pm.

Trip To Bukit Malawati (Kuala Selangor Location 1)

It was about a 30-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur to Bukit Malawati (Kuala Selangor).Here's some tips before reaching the destination,do bring lots of food like bananas,bread or peanuts for the monkeys) Not to worry monkeys there are very friendly :) There will be a "Tractor Tramp" that will take us up the hill and ticket price was RM3 which takes you to Bukit Malawati & Taman Ikan Air Tawar but its free if you would prefer walking up the hill,no need ticket! So when you reach on top, you can see the "Baitul Hilal" its a latticed building at the summit of Bkt.Malawati which was constructed for religious authorities to sight the new moon to set the time for the start of Ramadan & Shawal (for the Muslim) Then you can see a nice white "Light House" its been there since the 18th century.You will know more about the history when your there...I don't wanna ruin the surprise hehehe :) Next, I had my eyes on the "Cannons" which was used during the Selangor Civil War! Oh! not to forget about the monkeys...they are everywhere!!! You would be delighted to see Silverleaf Monkeys and Long Tail Macaques free-roaming everywhere!!!. Interesting facts bout the Silverleaf Monkeys, adults are dark-haired with a tinge of silver,while the babies are a bright orange kinda gold color :) Other attractions  like "The Royal Mausoleum","Quaint Rest House","The Poison Well" and some old graveyard which if I'm not mistaken was called the "Traitor's Graveyard"
