Sg. Congkak yang terletak di Ulu Langat, Selangor bagi aku merupakan antara tempat yg seronok untuk bermandi-manda dan ber BBQ . Aku pernah jugak pergi sungai2 yg lain di Selangor ni tapi so far yg menambat hati aku ialah Sg. Congkak. Satu lagi sungai yg aku suka ialah Sungai Sedim, Kulim.
Bagi aku, keistimewaan Sg. Congkak ni ialah sebab ianya panjang dan kedalaman airnya pelbagai. Kalau bawak anak2 kecil, boleh la main di bahagian yg airnya cetek, kalau bawak anak2 besar macam aku ni (yg pantang jumpa air mesti nak terjun tiruk) boleh la cari lubuk2 yg dalam sedikit. Tapi sebenarnya yg paling dlm pun takder la sampai boleh tenggelam... unlike Sungai Sedim.
GETTING THERE
Peta:
Bila kau masuk jer simpang ke Sg. Congkak ni, ko akan nampak beberapa outbound camp/chalet yg sesuai utk aktiviti2 sekolah/persatuan. Tapi area situ sungainya tak best. Cetek dan aku meragui kebersihan airnya. Mmg la air tu lebih dua kolah kan, tapi mengenangkan entah berapa ramai org yg kencing (or even worse berak) dlm air kt bahagian awal sungai, tertutup selera aku nak berpiknik di situ.
Kau drive lagi masuk ke dalam kau akan jumpa satu gate besar. Hutan Rekreasi Sg. Congkak. Ha, kat sini la best kalau nak piknik. Ada 7 Zon di sini. Zon 1 ialah yg paling dekat dgn entrance gate, Zon 7 yg paling jauh ke dalam. Biasanya yg piknik di Zon 1 sampai 3 ni ialah org2 yg;
1)Tak larat jalan jauh
2)Bawak byk sgt barang macam nak pindah ajer
3)Pemalas
4)Bawak anak kecik/org sakit/org tua/orang kurang upaya etc.
5)Underachiever (haha)
Sebabnya kau kena parkir kereta/motor/humvee/tank di luar gate dan berjalan masuk ke dalam. Zon 1 sampai 3 ni airnya cetek, dan selalunya ramai orang. Makcik2, kakak2 bawak anak2.. Kalau nak skodeng aweks ko kena gi to higher zone.
But wait... kepada korang yg tak nak tergolong dlm golongan loser yg mandi air lebihan orang Zon 5,6 dan 7 tapi malas nak berjalan jauh, ada short cut nya :D . Sebelum kau drive sampai main gate ko akan nampak satu simpang di sebelah kiri. Pastu akan lalu jambatan kayu, dan warung. Terus jer sampai ko jumpa satu lagi gate utk masuk Hutan Rekreasi Sg. Congkak di sebelah kanan. Kat situ ada booth, so ko kena bayar duit parking sama duit masuk per head. Drive terus masuk ke dalam nanti ko akan jumpa parking. Parking kat sini lebih teratur dan lebih selamat berbanding parking di main entrance, sebab di main entrance ramai jugak la yg mem parking kereta ikut suka mak bapak dia jer. Ada yg nak block jln la, ada yg double parking la and still kena bayar parking fees jugak.
Bila ko masuk dari sini should be Zon 3 already, kelas atas sikit la. Tapi nak lagi cool kena la berjln lagi ke higher zones.
ACCOMODATION AND FACILITIES
Ramai yg dtg sini hanya utk berpiknik, so entrance fee RM1 satu kepala plus parking fees. Parking fees bergantung ko parking kt mana la kan. Ada yg RM 2, ada yg RM 5, ikut la org2 kampung kt situ nak charge ko berapa RM. Tapi yg pasti semua kena parking kt luar (even motor pun tak leh masuk) KECUALI sesiapa yg stay di chalet2. Even yg dah book chalet pun hanya sebuah kereta per chalet jer. Tu yg diaorg cakap on the website la, tapi actually boleh jugak lebih dari satu kereta, cuma ko kena extra RM 5 per car la. And while driving masuk ko akan tgk muka2 jealous org2 yg terpaksa park kat luar. Muhuhahahha!! Kesian diaorg... penat berjalan kak??
Utk org2 yg suka berkhemah (means bermlm dlm khemah), tapak2 khemah jugak disediakan. Satu tapak RM10. Selain tu boleh jugak sewa chalet. Click here utk tgk rate nya. Quite economical actually. Aku, Wan, sister-in-law and husband and their daughter hari tu sewa chalet nombor 10, mmg cukup besar utk kami. Lagi la kalau korang jenis yg tak kisah tido reramai. Cuma kena bawak tilam or Toto jer la.
Utk perkhemahan sekolah, persatuan, kem bina insan syarikat2 corporate maksudnya yg ramai2 tu, boleh sewa tapak perkhemahan besar, dewan dan padang utk buat senamrobik atau perhimpunan (tapi jgn pakai baju kuning ramai-ramai ye? nanti kena sembur dgn tear gas pulak hahha).
Hutan Rekreasi Sungai Congkak ni di maintain oleh Tourism Selangor Sdn. Bhd, a private company (no phone : 03-55132000) so kalau nak book chalet or dewan boleh la call diaorg ni.
Satu perkara yg aku suka, tempat ni well-maintained. Tong sampah pun byk (walaupun adalah jugak rakyat Malaysia bahlul ni yg buang sampah merata-rata). Toilet pun bersih. Pondok2 berteduh pun dlm keadaan bagus. Ada surau, tandas tempat tukar baju, tpt BBQ etc
Mmg aku rekemen la tempat ni.
Oh by the way, pernah sekali aku mandi kt sini, masa aku tukar baju baru perasan yg ada seekor pacat kat peha aku dgn sedapnya menghisap darah aku. Mujurlah aku ni tak geli dgn pacat so aku try la cabut tapi susah nak keluar. So aku biar jer lah dia kenyang sampai tergolek.. rezeki dia hari tu kan? But ladies (of jantan yg penakut), fret not, dlm 10 kali aku gi Sg. Congkak baru sekali jer aku kena gigit pacat. :D

Pusat Konservasi Gajah Kebangsaan Kuala Gandah, Pahang
Tuesday, March 04, 2008
Aku nak berkongsi dgn korang semua tentang satu tempat yg tak ramai Malaysian yg tahu kewujudannya, tapi tourist mat saleh flocking ke tempat ini iaitu Pusat Konservasi Gajah Kebangsaan, di Kuala Gandah, Pahang.
Aku pernah dgr pasal tempat ni from my husband dan kemudian ada tgk di TV8 rancangan Trippin' (I so *heart* Rina Omar!!!). So apa lagi.. My dearest someWan ajak la aku singgah sana dalam perjalanan kami ke Cherating Jumaat lepas.
Kitaorg guna Lebuhraya Pantai Timur pastu keluar di exit Lanchang. Straight ahead ada simpang tiga, turn right. Kat situ korang ikut jer papan tanda Pusat Konservasi Gajah Kebangsaan, Kuala Gandah (Kuala Gandah National Elephant Conservation Centre).
Pusat Konservasi ni agak jauh ke dalam, nak ke sana mmg kena lalu jalan kampung, tapi jgn risau, tak payah guna 4-wheel-drive pun tak per. Naik Kelisa pun boleh sampai jugak. Dalam perjalanan, perhatikanlah kiri kanan jalan, ada Orang Asli duduk kawasan tu :D.
Conservation Centre ni di asaskan oleh Jabatan Perhilitan dan merupakan base kepada Elephant Relocation Team. Contohnya, kalau diaorg dpt aduan pasal gajah masuk kampung dan rosakkan tanaman, team ni akan dtg and move the gajah to Taman Negara.
Aktiviti PKGK ni start kul 2.00 ptg tiap2 hari kecuali hari Jumaat. Sebelum tu ada video show.. Best jugak presentationnya. Aku yg bukanlah animal lover pun boleh 'insaf'. Yelah, insaf tentang kepentingan kita melindungi haiwan terancam.
Apa aktiviti yg boleh dilakukan?
"Up close and personal" dgn gajah2. Kita boleh belai the gajah, bagi gajah makan (gajah tu diaorg tak letak dlm kurungan), naik gajah gi jenjln.. mandi dgn gajah (my husband got to naik the gajah with the trainer, then the gajah akan masuk dlm air sungai pastu dia suddenly baring dlm air! - Syiok wo!) tapi mmg kena bawak extra baju ler kalau nak mandi dgn gajah.
Interested?
Ha, tpt ni pun takder lah jauh sgt dr KL. Dlm 2 jam jer masa perjalanan and plus.... IT'S FREE!!! Tapi ada I urge you to make donation!! Don't be such a cheapskate okay? Duit tu akan pergi ke pemuliharaan and pemeliharaan (eh betul ker ayat ni?) gajah2.. utk tujuan relocation gajah pun sama.. so mmg kejam la kalau korang tak donate (hahaha).
Di syorkan dtg sini on weekdays sebab time tu tak ramai yg dtg. Masa aku pergi Friday last week, adalah dlm less than 30 org jer, so boleh spend time lama2 bermain dgn gajah. Diaorg bagi masuk 120 orang ajer sebab tak nak upsetkan gajah2 tu, so kalau nak dtg on weekend jugak (especially kalau korang buat rombongan Cik Kiah, better call pusat ni dulu.. (09-2790391).
Seriously, I think this Conservation Center is one of the best places I've been to in Malaysia. Heck, this place can kick Maesa Elephant Camp's (Chiang Mai, Thailand) @$$. The staffs here are friendly and knowledgeable, the facilities are good and I love the fact that this place is not commercialised at all. Macam ni barulah MALAYSIA BOLEH!! Bukannya buat lemang terpanjang la, bendera terbesar la dan segala macam benda2 mengarut camtu.
Lepas ni kalau ada orang cerita kat aku yg diaorg tunggang gajah kt Phuket ker aku akan gelak guling2. Apa kelas naik gajah pakai saddle?? Aper kelas hulur makanan kat gajah from a prison bars? Apa kelas tengok gajah 'menari2' atau melukis? Meh la dtg Kuala Gandah, instead of rasa gajah tu sejenis haiwan sarkis, ko akan rasa betapa pentingnya kita menjaga habitat gajah supaya gajah tak pupus. Kau akan rasa yg sebagai makhluk tuhan gajah juga berhak hidup dalam suasana yg aman damai. Tabik spring aku kt Conservation Centre ni.

Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
Today is my 'Monday'.
To achieve the goal of becoming the most un-boring married couple, we went up Bukit Tinggi last Sunday. We purposely chose that day to avoid the pests uhh... I mean school children. The original plan is to accompany my husband to Kulim on Monday 'coz he had some work there, but the Kulim work was postpone to next week and I was too lazy to cancel my Monday leave. So my good 'ol hubby decided to take a leave also (can you believe it, until now he only took 1/2 day leave in 2006?).
I've been to Bukit Tinggi once to play paintball but this time we stay for a night (back then cannot laa... not married yet maa.. :P). We checked in the hotel on Sunday noon so it's weekday rate (yay!). Went to try archery - it was so damn hard, it's a miracle I didn't accidentally shoot any living thing that day. Went bowling also - yeah I know, all the way up just to bowl?
After dinner we went to Colmar Tropicale, ya know that 'old French town' theme place? I think I watched this place a couple of time in some cheap-ass Malay drama. Were supposed to be in 'overseas' la konon. Complete with sweater and scarf summore. Haiyo tuan director, if in real European country, why la everyone have hidung pesek and dark skin? :P So anyway, we were told that there'll be a dance performance that night, so off we went.
To a girl who never set foot in Europe (or any other country for that matter.... *sob sob*) the place is pretty ok. They have the wishing well, clock tower, and French this and that.. like "Le Vin" which probably translated to Malay as "Kedai kopi dan tempat mabuk2" or sumthing like that, heh. Oh speaking of "Le Vin"...
Wan went to Colmar few years ago with some of his male buddies and they decide to try the restaurant/cafe. I don't know la maybe Wan and buddies didn't look uhh.. sophisticated/kaya raya/anak towkay balak, or maybe he didn't wear a sunglasses and letak atas kepala (macam hero2 drama Melayu buat kalau diaorg gi vacation), the stupid waitress girl had the gall to say, "Kitaorg kt sini tak jual makanan melayu macam mee goreng ke camtu. Kalau nak mee goreng korang kena gi makan kt bawah (maksudnya kt luar Colmar ler tu)". She said that before they even tell her what they want! Seriously, Wan's friends are highly educated and professionals in their own field (law, accountancy and ahem... architecture) and that dumb girl is just a fucking waitress! That's a lesson of "Don't judge a book by it's cover" to you.
That place was no more (maybe because of Wan and gang's curse hehehe) and was replaced with a bar/cafe "Le Vin".
Ok, back to my story.
We stayed to watch the dance performance. Guys were drooling over the dancers. The dancer girls wore skimpy revealing costumes (you can even see their pubic hair if you focus enough) but I have to admit I didn't blink also admiring their move and well-tones body. (I want legs and butts like that goddamit!!!!). They lack of originality but hey, we're bored :-) . Have to give chance to Wan ogling sexy women also maa..
Came back to the hotel to rest but end up tiring ourselves more and the next morning, Monday, while you guys dreaded to go back to work hehehe.. We went to the Japanese Tea Garden and again to the Colmar. The place was like 'macam bapak aku yg punya'. Not too many people there except some Singaporean tourists.
I think I had such a good time this weekend just because I got to spend uninterrupted time with my love. Actually, there were nothing much to do in Bukit Tinggi... only suitable for honeymoon couple, like us (hehe). Next vacation will be an adventurous one. We already set up a permanent 'Entertainment/Jalan2 fund' which I think it such a swell idea.
Man, I couldn't imagine marrying someone so dormant, yg duduk rumah make babies jer kerjanya.....

"Hello World"
My name is Arni (bukan nama sebenar) and I love to travel.
So this blog is dedicated to my traveling stories and such. As for now, I will just cut and paste entries from my other blog [ http://arnisoulsaver.blogspot.com ].
A little bit about me.
I am a 28 year-old woman from Cheras, K.L. I am an IT slave, uhh.. I mean Executive in an insurance company. Not exactly my dream job but hey, it pays the bill and helps supporting my addiction for traveling.
I have a travel partner whom I can always count on. His name is A*Wan. From the first time I met him I knew that he'll be my perfect travel buddy. He is a couple years older than me (although sometimes older doesn't mean wiser, but in my case, yes, he is like a wine, he gets better with age). Our brain are tuned to the same frequency. I like him because he's a good man who respects other people's culture, inquisitive enough so I learn a lot when traveling with him.
Not to say that he's a saint. Sometimes we're at each other's throat. But we couldn't stay mad for long time. Especially when we have to share a room.
Oh, did I mention that he is also my husband? ;-)
Of places we went to
I'm not exactly a globetrotter due to my financial constraint. I only been to two countries - Thailand and The Philippines. But I tried to compensate it by going to all the nice places in Malaysia. Up to the point that whenever I take my annual leave, my colleague would ask me, "so, which weird place you're going this time?". Wan and I hate those over-commercialised places, so we tend to go somewhere where not many family with small children would go (read : no swimming pool, Astro, fast food).
I tried to list down the places Wan and I went to :
1) Pulau Langkawi, Kedah (I know! too commercialized but this was the first time we travel as husband and wife).
2) Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
3) Penang (tempat jatuh lagikan dikenang. Aku bekas student USM)
4) Cameron Highland, Pahang
5) Kuala Gandah, Pahang
6) Tasik Raban, Lenggong, Perak
7) Cherating, Pahang
8) Bukit Larut, Perak
9) Kuching, Sarawak
A road-trip to east and north part of peninsular Malaysia which consists of
8) Pulau Perhentian/Lang Tengah/Redang in Terengganu
9) Kota Bharu/Rantau Panjang in Kelantan
10) Pengkalan Hulu/Grik/Tasik Banding in Perak thru Puncak Titiwangsa
11) Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah
12) Then crossing over to Sadao, Thailand
13) Padang Besar/Kuala Perlis, Perlis
14) Kulim (Tree Top Walk), Kedah
Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka tu dah kira our playground la since Wan is from Negeri Sembilan, and my parents are from Johor.
Next month, we'll go to Jakarta/Bandung and on March we'll fly off to Hong Kong. And around this year to Pulau Tioman.
