Out & About!: The water baby story

Assalamualaikum. Hey there!

My birth element is water. No I don't really believe in all that but hey it's nice to know. At least I have an explanation as to why I love water so much. I'm not a good swimmer but I can't just soak up and be in the water all day! I was born, and raised in Terangganu, specifically Besut. Terengganu is famous for its keropok lekor, beautiful beaches, islands and its excel in maintaining religion and education.

In the district of Besut, there are two pantai (beach) named Pantai Bukit Kluang and Pantai Air Tawar. Basically, if you can walk along the beaches and be at both places because both beaches are connected. It is not advisable to visit it in the months of September to December because these months are when the East Coast of Malaysia gets affected by the north-east monsoon. Whether in the morning, noon, or evening. These beaches always appeal to me due to it's serenity and refreshing breeze. I just love the smell and sound of the ocean. It is one of the most calming sounds of nature. Once, I hiked the Bukit Kluang or Kluang Hill early in the morning and when we reached up top, we got the chance to see the sunrise. I cried for its beauty and warmth. Then I looked down, and I see a small beach hidden behind the hill. No one traveled there I believe, which adds to its mystery and exquisite beauty.

There are also two famous forest reserves or hutan lipur which is open to the public. They are Hutan Lipur Lata Belatan, which is a few minutes away from my house, and Hutan Lipur Lata Tembakah. The second one is famous for it's hot spring and has been attracting many tourists. It's suitable for gatherings and recreations with family and friends. It gives a feeling of being close to nature due the sounds of forest creatures, fresh crystal clear river water, and the laughs of the visitors. Here are some pictures.
