Azimin & me left ENSTEK @ 9am and we drove directly to Penang to fetch Azimin' s RA (Nizam). While waiting for Nizam (by ferry), we all pun makan lunch dekat area jeti tu... Then, straight pergi Kulim.
We reached Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau dekat pukul 4pm. Sampai sana, most of the UKM delegates dah sampai. After check-in, Azimin & me jalan2 dekat kawasan chelet. Dekat area chelet, memang tak de signal hp, tak kisah la apa line yang korang pakai sekalipun... Actually, petang tu, aku jogging tapi Azimin jalan... hehehe as usual...
Malam, sessi suai kenal and briefing on the project mission and expectation. Rupanya, its not only UKM yang datang, there are some UPM people there... And all the people there is the specialist / researcher on their own area... We have the specialist for flora, fauna, batu, air, architect, sosiologist etc. banyak lagi...
The next day, we all redah naik hutan lipur. seronok jugak... sampai tingkat atas, we all lepak sekejap & ambik gambar (after taking all the non-posing pics!!!). tgh hari tu, we had a meeting with org kampung sekeliling yang terdiri dari cikgu, penghulu (oh my God! penghulu dia muda2 tau...), peniaga, etc... The Q&A session was going on very well.
Lunch time, we decided to go to Hutan Lipur Kelim that located around 10km from Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau to make a comparison. Then, on the way back from Hutan Lipur Kelim, we singgah makan tengahari dekat kedai Kampung Badang. we took the oppurtunity to asked them about the sejarah & legend about that place. This is important for the branding and icon.
Rupanya, depa told us that their kampung name (BADANG) is not the Badang yang org kuat lepas makan muntah hantu air tu... Badang means benda yg diaorg buat untuk tampi padi... La...
I was too tired petang tu sampai tertido... Petang tu, some delegates arrived. I met Prof Madya Dr Hayati & team. She is the specialist for FROG!!!! Can you imagine that? Aku nie pegang katak pun tak berani...
Malam tu, ada discussion with all the delegates. Masa tu, all the group presented their founding, experiences & opinions. And when we told them about the BADANG story, semua gelak!!!
We left Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau the next morning (Sunday). We sent Nizam to Balik Pulau, Penang. After having lunch @ his house (his family were so nice.. we all makan ketam!!!), then we move to Taiping (my in-law's house). Lepas rehat2, petang tu baru bertolak balik ENSTEK and we reached ENSTEK pukul 12.30am...
Penat? Tok sah cerita la... memang penat!!!
Some pics for you guys. The place was lovely...
