Pulau Ketam (30.08.09)

I can't remember when was the last time I been to Pulau Ketam, but that's with my parents. This time, I went with 2 pairs of couples... initially I was a little hesitate, because I'm the odd one out, but I really really miss that place... so, I treat the trip as my photo shooting trip!

Siow Hui's husband, Kelvin suggesting 2 options, drive or take public transport (KTM) there. Without 2nd thought, I opt for KTM... it's way more interesting to take the train... because... I can day dream in the train, I can enjoy the "loneliness" in the train, I can enjoy seeing passengers in the train...... since I came back from Europe, I think I started to love taking public transport.

Bak Kut Teh as breakfast... famous in Kepong

Braised pork knuckle... so yummy

Stealing an idea from a pre-wedding photographer... nice or not?

When we reached KL KTM Station (interchange station), the sky started to rain... and our train has delayed. Kelvin initially planned to reach there by 10am (if not mistaken) to catch the old boat to Pulau Ketam... but due to the delay, I were thinking most probably we will miss that boat...

My KTM ticket to Port Klang (jetty to Pulau Ketam)

The old jetty, it's under renovation, so, we were led to another temporary jetty which was 5 minutes walk away from this.

New boat to Pulau Ketam, but we were not taking this... see the 5th photos below

The boat need about 45 minutes from Port Klang jetty to Pulau Ketam... but no worry, I'm best in entertaining myself.

This is the old boat that we took. We were lucky enough to catch the boat. That day was public holiday, so the boats extended their business hour... ehhee

Back to KL KTM Station

We were exhauted after few hours of riding and photo taking in the island, in short, we were all satisfied with the time spent in the island, so, we catched the 4pm boat back to jetty and take KTM back to Kepong to get our car.

Thanks both of the couples for inviting me as their light bulb, haha, I enjoyed the day very much... do you think my photography skill got brush up a bit?
