Juan Or posing at the canon that surrounds the fort of Bukit Malawati. Seen here is Papa holding on to Juan Or in case he falls.
The view from Bukit Malawati.
This is the famous historical lighthouse of Kuala Selangor, which is situated at the hilltop of Bukit Malawati.
This is the first time for Juan Or to see monkeys real life at close range.
Suddenly a monkey leaped in front of him and this took Juan Or by surprise - an amusing surprise!
"Monkey, oh, monkey! Getting to know you!"
This is Mommy's favourite photo. The monkey perched at the road barrier just now suddenly leaped onto a nearby tree, causing Juan Or to burst with laughter! Seeing a monkey jumping around is sure a sheer joy for Juan Or!
"Hey, monkey! Why are you going away from me? Can't we be friends?"
"Ah, never mind. At least another monkey is willing to be friends with me."
"Hahaha! How strikingly similar! A child monkey accompanied by the parent - just like me!"
This is also another of Mommy's favourite photo of Juan Or, now captured full-bodied. This was taken at the look-out building, which unfortunately was closed to the public.
By the time we were done with monkey-watching, Juan Or was already showing signs of tiredness, so down we went the hill.
When Juan Or was tired, petty things seemed to irritate him, causing him to fret. But luckily there's this funny-looking 'choo-choo train' (that carries visitors up and down the hill for a fee)to distract his attention, turning his frets into laughter instead! This 'choo-choo train' appeared every now and then when we went up and then down the hill. In Juan Or's mind, probably this 'choo-choo train' resembled Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's Choo-choo Express. So probably Juan Or must be thinking that the train he saw in cartoon has come alive!
Mommy managed to capture a photo of both father and son walking down the hill. "Bye-bye, Bukit Malawati! See you again, monkeys! We'll be back!"

Nice pictures!!
I think your camera phone's resolution has improved under the sunlight!
The choo choo train have to pa or not?
Rather aprehensive to bring Joshua there coz of the monkeys. Worried might turn violent
Alice Law, thanks! Yes, I do notice too, when the sun is really bright, the pictures are nicer and sharper.
Small kucing, of course, have to pay one, except that we never bother to ask the price. :P About the monkeys, this breed type (black fur) is the tame type. Go close range or even take its photo directly in front never mind one as long as you don't touch it. If you want to be really sure it won't approach you, then make sure you don't carry any food with you. There's another colony of monkeys in Bukit Malawati, but brown fur type - that one is not friendly - cannot even live in peace with the black fur type. In this trip, we didn't see any brown fur type, probably they are at another side of the bukit, away from human and black fur monkeys' presence.
Oh gosh! Juan Or is not afraid of the monkeys !! He is braver than me. hehe....We used to bring YX and XJ to watch monkeys too (inside the car). Behind my bro's house (senawang) there are lots of wild monkeys. We feed them with peanuts and the kids love to watch them eat.
Did u take away the chat box? Can't find it. Anyway, manged to $miled today.
mNhL, hehehe...who knows leh, maybe Juan Or is not afraid of monkeys simply because he is innocent. I think he still doesn't know that monkeys can attack people. hahaha....wait till he knows! :P
My chatbox encountered some problems, so I removed it already. Anyway, thanks for making my day!
Can feel Juan Or enjoys himself very much from the pictures. :)
Btw, just wonder do u feed Juan Or with the same lunch as you eat? He takes the belacan too?
Cheeyee, oh yes, whatever we eat for lunch at the restaurant, we'll offer it to him, but of course not everything we offer he will eat. Yes, he takes the belacan too. In fact he likes hot and spicy food! :-)
