Sunrise at Bukit Keluang , Terengganu

                                                                                   

Bukit Keluang 

                                                                                            

             Bukit Keluang has some of the best coastal scenery in Malaysia with lovely beaches, a wooden walkway along the cliff edge, sea caves and a 141 meter high hill with a superb view over the South China Sea.

It is located in Terengganu about 6 km south of the town of Kuala Besut which is where travellers catch boats to the Perhentian Islands.

            When I went in 25 March 2016, I parked my car in the beach's car park which is at the foot of the hill. There were a couple of food stalls located here together with toilets and other facilities.

I walked onto the main beach which curves around a nice bay lined with casuarina trees. There were some gazebos here for picnics and some concrete chairs and tables under the trees.

     The base of the hill was right on the water's edge and there were steps leading up to a wooden walkway built on the rocks above the water line. The walkway clings to the hillside and leads to a couple of sea caves inhabited by bats. At low tide it is possible to walk round to the caves but at high tide, which is what it was during my visit, the walkway is the only safe way to access the caves.

               Unfortunately, some sections of the walkway had been washed away by rough seas and heavy storms during the last monsoon season (Oct - Feb) and the walkway was not usable.

This was a disappointment , hopefully it will be repaired soon 

                Never mind, I managed to find a steep flight of concrete steps going up the side of the hill and I guessed these led to the top of the hill. The steps are located opposite the toilets if you want to try this walk.

The steps ran out after a few minutes climbing but there was a rough path leading up to the summit of this hill.

                It was a strenuous and sweaty climb but I reached an opening near the top from where there were great views looking out to sea, which was a beautiful turquoise colour that day.

PETS

             

Stray and Feral Cats

          Feral, stray, and pet cats are all members of the same species; they are all domestic cats. But stray cats and feral cats are also different from each other in a very important way in their relationship to and interactions with people.

           Whether you are a shelter worker, veterinarian, or feral cat advocate—or you just share your neighborhood with feral cats knowing how to tell the difference can help inform how best to interact with a cat or what, if any, intervention would be in each cat’s best interest.Pet and stray cats are socialized to people.

Feral cats are not socialized to people. While they are socialized to their colony members and bonded to each other, they do not have that same relationship with people.

• A stray cat is a cat who has been socialized to people at some point in her life, but has left or lost her domestic home, as well as most human contact and dependence.
• Over time, a stray cat can become feral as her contact with humans dwindles.
• Under the right circumstances, however, a stray cat can also become a pet cat once again. Stray cats that are re-introduced to a home after living outdoors may require a period of time to re-acclimate; they may be frightened and wary after spending time outside away from people. ·
• Another definition that may help:
  - “A stray cat is a domestic cat that has been abandoned or has ‘strayed’ from home and become lost. Stray were once pets and they can usually be successfully rescued and placed in homes.”  

• A feral cat is a cat who has either never had any contact with humans or her contact with humans has diminished over time. She is fearful of people and survives on her own outdoors. A feral cat is not likely to ever become a lap cat or enjoy living indoors.
• Kittens born to feral cats can be socializes at an early age and adopted into homes.

Hello :)
So today I want to share a story about my friends.  Friends? For me, my friends is my family. All my friends is my best friends. They are the person who gives me the better of the two choices, holds my hand when I'm scared. Helps me fight off those who try to take advantages of me, thinks of me when I'm not there, reminds me what I have forgotten, helps me put the past behind me but understands when I need to hold on to it a little longer, helps me clear up my mistakes, smiles for me when I am sad, help me become a better person and most importantly loves me!. With friends we share our life story, we create the memories together, do something crazy and talk many things about we love. My friends make my day is colorful and happily.What we do together will be the best thing that we can remember. Friend is the best award that I receive in my life. The real friend will be laugh and cry together with us. Actually, our friend is also our teacher because sometimes they teach us about something we don't know. My friends is everything for me.
