.....

There was a briefing about Penang reservoirs,damns and Geological structures.

Dato' Seri is an architecture.

He has a vast knowledge about the nature and living species.

Listening to his briefing was really great.

Though I,myself is a Penangite,I learnt a lot.....

"The founder of Penang.....

How Penangite built their first and most imperative water runway.....

Why did dealers,shippers,marine navigators and even pirates stop by Penang port...because Penang provided fresh water for them.....

Penang was like a ice-cream vendor,selling nice sweeties for the foreign children...

That was how Penang progressed and grew in those old days~

Dato Seri also mentioned one issue:

"Why 车水路was named'车水路'?"

"...because we used to transfer water with cars during that time using that road...( __.___///"

This session seemed to be quite hilarious yet educational.

In addition,officers and representatives from PBA and Forestry also gave us some briefing about Penang's Rainfall & Catchment Area and some useful tips on Forest Botany.

"Seriously,do you know where are we?"

the one on left,with a compact CAM was Dato Seri's assistant,a fern expert from UPM

"We can't stand still doing nothing to preserve our Water and Forest!!"

"You can have a fine scenery on this peak...."

•Nature Tour- start from Pt.84 down to Pt.46

Guided by the forestry/PBA Officers

"It's so soothing...Argghhh~"

"smell like my kar-tiaK~"

“一言难尽。。。”

"I think that this area is the most wholesome one,where tourists can find most of the hyper-endemic plants and ferns..."

Finally.......

TOILET BREAK~

Soon,we came to pt46 and here's the point where we parted with Dato Seri while he went to prepare his speech for the talk tonight.

While for other trekkers,we went on to the waterfall,guided by PBA officers.

"Wahhhhhhhh.........."

the waterfall will surely look more enormous if you witness with your own eyes~

p/s : thanks to Vince for taking such a great picture for us~

After the stroll along greeneries and beautiful waterfall,a drizzle came pouring down....

All were drenched to the skin,as if we went for a dip in the waterfall.............

Then we attended the speak and learned about some environment-friendly products.

There was one which amazed me.......Pirkare manufactured by Ecoparadise Sdn Bhd.

only one word to describe it,gEng~

Advertising time!!!!!

Pirkare purifies sewage, river and seawater, as it cleans!

It is made from recycled Soya bean oil, purified water, and our unique Ecoparadise "deoxidizing" solution.

Pirkare effectively breaks down the bonds that hold dirt and oily particles together. As deoxidizers, it has antirust properties.

Used for washing clothes, utensils, and floors; for bath; as shampoo and toothpaste. Pirkare is a high-yield fertilizer and eco-friendly pesticide.

In my view,it was surely an educational programme and looking forward to other similiar one!

Guys!!!!

go GreeEEEeeNeee......... with your daily routine~
