Sightseeing @ Cape Rachado

After Portugal conquered Malacca in 1511, the Portuguese wanted to build a lighthouse to guide its ships. Tanjung Tuan was chosen and the cape was named Cape Rachado by them. Subsequently, a lighthouse was built between 1528 and 1529. As Malacca switched hands to the Dutch and later to the British in 1641 and 1824 respectively, so too did the possession of the structure.

There's a forest reserve that surrounds the area. It was a refreshing walk for us. Calm & quiet. Not too quiet tho, you can hear the birds chirping.

It was quite a walk through the forest & up the hill. The view from up above was nice. I wouldn't say magnificent, tho. But you'll be staring out at the open sea, and down below you'll see the white waves hitting the shores.

After all the sweats, the best way to end your day is to have some "air batu campur" or ABC, with a bowl of "rojak" & "pisang goreng" by the roadside, with a bunch of crazy cousins. The Malaysian street food, the Malaysian culture.

Monsters do PD

Port Dickson, 1st August 2009 - Teluk Kemang beach was under attack by 7 monsters on Saturday morning.

The 6 monsters, plus 1 taking the picture

They bought food and drinks and stayed around for a few hours for a picnic and some gruesome action in the beach. They were nowhere to be seen in the area when the rain pours down again around noon.

After an hour of peace, they were being seen again in PD area. Reported by some witnesses, they then roamed over the firehouse at Tanjung Tuan for some uphill view of the sea.

While they were lost in the woods, people in the area can feel the grounds shaking. A witness said that they were taking pictures.

"Yes, I saw them with my own eyes! They were trying to take jumping pictures. It was ugly.", said Ali, the cleaner at the area.

Around 5pm, they were seen heading back towards Sepang, but stopped by PD Town to attack a mamak stall at the roadside.

"They ate all my cendol, ABC, rojak, cincau drinks and goreng pisang!", claimed Mutu, the stall owner. "But thanks to them, my business was really good that day. I get to close early and spend time at home with my children", he added with a grateful smile.

Port Dickson is now in peace as the monsters are gone. The people of PD can sleep soundly from now on.
