OFG: Postponed

Assalamualaikum,

Well "...Allah is the best Planner..." there goes a verse in the Quran, Aali-Imraan chapter, verse 31. Although we have been planning our Tasik Banding trip since August this year, changing venues a few times, when Allah doesn't will it, it won't happen.

And so, we had a meeting tonight at a Char Kuewtiaw joint in BBB, to discuss about our next plan. Since the weather is not getting any better and all the camps are closed (by the order of the Perbadanan Taman Negeri Perak), we had come to a conclusion that we have to postpone our trip.

Two dates were chosen... one is during the CNY holidays (18~22/02/2015) and the other is during our company stock-counting shutdown (28~31/03/2015). Upon further discussions, we have selected the latter. so, we have 3 more months to go and 3 more months also to continue collecting the funds (RM50.00/month/person).

We had put in 2 options for the next trip... camping or boat-housing. Personally I don't have any preference. Either one would be ok for me, as long as fishing is one of the agenda.

I love the outdoors, although I don't have that much time for the outdoor activities. Camping, fishing and trekking is in my blood, as I grew up in a small kampung in Rembau... You have more chances to appreciate the wonderful world that Allah has blessed you with when you go outdoor. You won't get those chances being a couch potato, will you?

Alrighty then... more updates later...

Wassalam.... baarakAllahu fiikum

OFG: Sg Kejar, Here We Come

Assalamualaikum,

A few days ago, we received a news from our friend, Nain, who is our Tekong. It turned out that Sg Kenarong, our camping and fishing destination this time, is indefinitely closed to all visitors.

A herd of elephants ran amok at the camp, prompting the authorities to close it, citing safety reasons.

So, it was agreed that we are going to Sg Kejar instead. It was the place we visited back in 2007. It can be read here.

That was me in the orange vest... -2007

So, the countdown has began at the 30 day's mark... 7 days more to go brothers. InsyaAllah, everything will be ok.


BaarakAllahu fiikum

OFG: Tasik Banding Revisit

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

The last time I went for a fishing and camping trip to Tasik Banding was back in 2007. A few months before I went to Dubai for the overseas assignments.

Alhamdulillah, that opportunity comes again. 

InsyaAllah, I will be joining 17 of my Sony colleagues for the trip. 

Hope everything will go as planned as all of us are extra excited and really looking forward to the trip...
