DAM...!!!

Lihat betul-betul ye..ejaan di atas bukanlah damn..tetapi DAM.

Well Thursday 13th we (myself, Jimz, Bobby and Lee from MP) went to Hulu Terengganu. Started our journey around 8.30 heading to Kenyir Dam, the second largest hydroelectric generator in Malaysia. We have a presentation and demo to make for TNB Hidro this time.


Lama dah tak lalu sini. Karak highway. I have been in the south for more than 18 years now. So basically from south we do not take this route. Will use Segamat-Kuantan-Jabor-Jerangau route *ingat ye kawan-kawan jangan disalah sebut mana-mana perkataan*. But this time from Shah Alam, we are taking this route. Shah Alam-Karak-Kuantan-Kemaman-Jerangau-Hulu Terengganu.


When we reached Kemaman it is already lunch time. About 1.30 in the afternoon. Boy i am starving. I guess i can eat a whole zebra. Had a quick lunch at Kemaman hailam coffee shop. Can't really remember the name of the shop. But the kopi o beng is excellent. Most people will go for starbucks, coffee bean and all, but i think this coffee beats them all. Sebijik rasa macam kopi o Kluang. The one near Kluang railway station. If you are the traditional coffee drinker like me, then you will know all this places. But if you are the starbucks type, then it's a different story. Can't stay long for our lunch. The meeting is at 3 o'clock. So we have to rush to Hulu Terengganu which is about 2 hours drive from Kemaman.


We arrived at the Kenyir Dam 2 and half hours later. Giler lambat. But TNB people waited for us. Thank you for your kind hospitality welcoming us and entertaing us although we did not arrive according to the schedule. This will happen if you dont plan accordingly.

I was mesmerized by the beauty of this dam. Wow..!! The only word that came out of my mouth when i first saw this HUGE man's creation. This generator generates more than 1 thousand MWH of electricity per year. Ten to the power of nine watt hour. How about that..!!!

Sejenak terpesona dengan keindahan alam ciptaan Ilahi. Terasa insaf dan kerdil dibandingkan dengan pencipta sekelian alam. Acap kali terlupa dan terpana dengan keseronokan duniawi yang selalunya menjurus pada kealpaan. Bila hati menghadap ciptaan yang esa, baru ku sedar kita makhluk tiada beza. Sesekali rasa bersyukur kerana masih dikurnia iman untuk masih mengenal Rabbul A`lamin.

The presentation did not take that long. About 2 hours. And then we headed back to Kuantan for din din before we headed back for Shah Alam.


Nice dinner at Pak Su Seafood. Squid, shrimp, fish, crab everything is here. Eat, eat, eat and eat.


My crab. Stuffed crab. Extra scrumptious *if there is such word*.

Totally tired but enriching experience. Adam called it a trip. Is it a trip..???

Jya ne!
