On the second night of the work, we decided to be a bit adventurous. Instead of dining in Setiawan, we drove further to Lumut town for dinner.
Recommended by my client, this place is called Rockafellas Cafe (not related to the Rockafellas of US). Apparently, this place is very famous for its simple western cuisine.
The journey itself took around 1/2 an hour. After a few turns, we finally located the restaurant in Lumut town.
The place itself was very cozy. Nice enough, they had a pool table in the cafe. The friendly …

It was around 8 pm and we were the last customer. We spoke …

Pangkor Island Beach Resort Review
(Aug ’07) – Found this in one of my old hard drives. It was my maiden trip to Pangkor Island.
The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Lumut was around 3 1/2 hours. We parked at the multi level car parks beside the jetty.
One thing good about Pangkor Island Beach Resort was they have their own ferry. The receptionist checked our booking and we were on our way to “paradise”.

The resort and its private beach…

Sunset by the beach…

Lots of hornbills and lots of monkeys as well…

Something that I almost missed out. This is a duplicate post from my main blog (www.superwilson.net). Story goes like this:

I had to wake up early that day to pick up the girls to a meet up point where we had breakfast and begin our journey. Little did I know that the group was around 36 ppl…We convoyed to …

The nice thing about Taiping is the people there are friendly. Even though they knew we are outsiders, …
