"Cari Makan" @ Pulau Aman 18 July 2009

9 sharp in the morning, i had woke up to prepare myself heading to Pulau Aman, an island that situated @ Tambun. Honestly i never heard of this island before and since there is email forwarding saying it is a place that famous with Mee Udang, so we never want to let go any chances of good food, decided to have a try. :-)

We a group of 9 peoples gathered @ roadside just before the roundabout that turn in to Tambun Jetty and when everyone is arrived, clock already ticked @ 10++am. Hamba is leading us from the gather place to Tambun jetty. We first turn in 9 O'clock of roundabout and drive for about 5 minutes time. After that we came to a red soil road that seem to be having some construction as lorries are back and forth on the road.

And you can see from below picture, the red soil is flying upwards after car drive through, and you can imagine how's our car be, yea...it is a mess dirt with red soil covered up all part of the car. That's not all, we thought we can reach the jetty after a short while but the further we drive in, the sign of jetty is hardly to see. Then, we realized we are in the wrong path. Holy cow!

Here we are, 9 of us...:-)

At last, and finally we reached the jetty. We took some shots here...

While we walking toward jetty, we saw many jelly fishes in the water.

To reach the floating restaurant, we need to take engine boat for about 15 minutes journey time, the ticket cost us RM6 for 2 way. Here it is, the floating restaurant that famous with its Mee Udang.

And then we discovered there is a school located on this Pulau Aman.

Here is the overall map of Pulau Aman.

And there are actually a lot of chalet or acommodation (including the school), real cheap! Some only cost RM150 for 10 persons.
Wow, a lot of people here. We thought it must be very delicious at the glance. First we ordered of course the Mee Udang and Mee Goreng.
After the try, mm...most of us felt "so so" nia not as delicious as stated in the forwarded mail. Okay, the "kuah" of the Mee Udang is quite nice but by the time we eat it, the "kuah" already get cold.
Other than these 2 dishes, hamba went to order the mantis prawn at the corner just before the entry to the restaurant. Look, the mantis prawn is still alive!

And all i can say, these mantis prawn are fresh and yea...taste good! :-)

Each of us have 2 mantis prawn and thought that is the best taste dish of the day. Overall i can conclude that Pulau Aman is small village with a few populations live on the island. There is no water activity here but you can explore a few spots on the island like Telaga Mas, Kubur Purba, Jungle Trekking & fishing... (Refer to the map) As for us, we still need to hunt food at other place, so we left after lunch.

Michael Jackson -- A Legend

Michael Jackson, is not just a singer, an artist but he is a symbolic of music industry, at least when i say this, half of the population in the world is agree with me. He, like born to be an artist, singer, so unique and distinct way of singing with his very natural beautiful voice and his very own hiccups. I was so surprise and couldn't believe that when the news of Michael Jackson death on last week, and i just post one of his music video - Earth song in my previous posted blog.

I love MJ so much, i like all of his master pieces, every songs that sang by him, there is none that not touching my heart. His manager in an interview in Channel V, said there is gonna be noone else that can replace MJ's place in music industry, and we will not find anyone like MJ ever in the industry. And i say "Even there is someone else that is, noone can ever replace the MJ' place in my heart."

I had been listening to all of his album songs since the day of his death until today, from the Hitz fm, Channel V, Tribute to MJ in MTV and Youtube.com. I listen to it again and again and i even sing the songs in my mind, it is like a cd player in my head, playing his songs one after one. I like MJ's dance, no, i should say i stuned with his dances, his very own style, the Billy Jeans with his trademark, white glove, skinny not-so-long pant, so that we can see his white socks, hat covering his face, so mistery but so great with his every movements, of his own creation. And the moonwalk, noone can ever think of this mysterious dance ever, and the 45 degree of standing without touching anything, wow, we are not just talking about an singer but a person, a great man that never stop thinking of anything that he could have to surprise us in his musical performance.

I thought people that work harder than others gain things that other does not have, but MJ had unfortunately lose his life in his very young age. I am sure a lot of his fans will be very sad having him, leaving this world. But even though we had lost him, he will always be in my heart. I will listen to his "You are not alone", in the song lyric it wrote:

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

MICHAEL JACKSON, you will always in my heart......ALWAYS
