oh. since we are on the topic of nature. i'd just like to ask around. is anyone interested to play fire crackers? I'm planning to visit Kukup, Malaysia during Chinese New Year.
if we can gather enough people, we can rent a holiday bungalow there. it's very cheap only. i have a cousin who's running a coffeeshop there. usually when i go alone, or with a max of 2 friends, i will just stay in one of her rooms above her coffeeshop. she has a guestroom i can bunk in.
the bungalows there, you can sing karaoke, do bbq, and it has many bed rooms too. for those who have never been there, kukup is a very rustic place, there's red wood forest, dirt cheap (but good!) seafood.. there are kelongs to visit, etc...
basically i just go there to unwind and relax myself. there's ferry services / coaches from singapore to go there if we are going in group. for me, i'm familiar with going there by buses (it's much cheaper to change at Larkin interchange). so i don't take either. i take buses by myself. it's somewhere near Pontian.
i miss playing the firecrackers there... especially the chong tian pao.. beats playing with the fake ones here.
you can look at some of the pictures i took

on the overall, you should spend less than $50 including transport.
