An evening with Ponyo

I went for a movie again on day 2 with Alice (aka how yee chern) we've watch Da Bing Xiao Jiang.
Wang Lee Hom is the only reason we walked into the black box. His co-star is Jacky Chan, which never attracts me.

Can't say it was great but overall the movie was good. Wang Lee Hom was charming and I like the story line.
Usually the panglima story will be told in most of the ancient China war movie, but this time, the story is based on a small, hardly noticable and coward army. And he even pretend dead just to avoid to be killed by the enemies, which considered disloyal at the time. This army is played by Jacky Chan. He rescued LeeHom - a general and also a prince of the enemy country. Didn't kill him because he is going to bring him back to his country alive, so that he will get rewards from the king which is land. His wishes is to go back to his hometown alive and with honour. Somehow, friendship generated between them on the journey. And that's how things happen. In the end he released lee hom when he reached his country because he know LeeHom will definitely be killed if he brings LeeHom back. After he let Leehom go, he found out his country is attacked by other country and in the end he died. A sad ending.



Alright back to the topic!

I rushed back home after the movie because I have a date with Ponyo!
I am going to the beach with her and my aunt's family.

Wondering how can we bring dogs to the beach as it is forbidden by the MPK?
My uncle discovered this undeveloped beach - TC 3 !
Since there's no one there, so he always brings Ponyo to this free space. She can run as fast as she could and play as crazily as she wants.

My mother I followed my cousin's car, and we turned in a junction somewhere around Beserah, entered some area which I've never been, there's a super huge school there and most of the residents are Malays. Later then we were in a unpaved jungle road and they parked their car on some mud and I thought we've reached the beach.

Who knows......I still have to walk some distance to reach the nobody beach. They already told me bout this but I thought it is short. Okay, this has proven that it is untouched yet, unlike teluk cempedak.

Ponyo walk at the front as if she is the team leader and she knows the place very well.
Thank god I put on my very comfortable slippers and some mosquito repellent.

From the spot we parked our car, we walked through a shady, quiet and narrow road. The pathway is even walked out by man or maybe motorcycles. On both sides are thick and messy bushes, tall trees, and taller trees behind there. I saw different shades of green and brown, the colour of natural. Something like what you can see in Bukit Pelindung without the paved road. As we're near to the beach, I saw lots of lovely red leaves laying on the road, looked up around, trying to find which tree contributed these leaves that I thought will only appear in country with autumn, but I couldn't find. There's also some tiny skinny plants which I hardly seen around me.

It was already late evening and the sunlight is weak plus we're somewhere under the tall trees so it was quite spooky. Then I started to imagine tiger or monkey suddenly jumped out and attack us. Or perhaps there's drug addicters hiding inside there attack us and took away our money. Imaging horrible incidents makes me walk faster and faster.

I don't know how long we have walked because I was too busy looking around since this was the first time I've been there.

Finally we reached the beach and wow, this beach is magnificently cool.
It is twice as long as TC, twice as clean as TC, and I can't see any human beings except us and the dogs. I can hardly see both ends. Only the sound of the soft waves are heard.
At that serene evening, the beach is ours.


Here's my aunt and her family. My cousin sister brought her dog too. It is a hotdog dog. Eerr, I don't know the name but we always refer that dog as a hotdog.

There's two girls with two dogs. One is the hotdog-dog, his name is Figo and the another one is Ponyo.


According to them, Figo loves Ponyo even though her size is two times bigger than him. Every time when he wants to go back to Penang, he'll cry when he leaves Ponyo.
Awwww. Too bad Ponyo is spayed. If not, maybe they'll get married and have baby that is long and furry.

My uncle handed me Ponyo's leash. It was tight as Ponyo can't wait to run around. A lot of energy required. She was so excited. When I was holding her, she started to ran, I can't hold her so I ran too, but she her speed was too fast and I can't control her, I don't wanna end up dragging by her on the sand so I let her go.

Then we unleashed both dogs. Ponyo jumped into the sea and swum happily. But she doesn't favour salt water much so she came up in a short while, dried herself and continue to run around. I'm forced chase her and to run with her at her slowed down speed. Luckily I went to gym two days before and did training on jogging. If not, my leg will cramp immediately after I start running vigorously.


Figo doesn't likes water at all. My cousin sister threw him into the water, he was panic and quickly swum back to the shore.

This is Figo.

My uncle then led Ponyo to the lake which the water isn't salty for her to bath.

Paw prints of Ponyo. Looking at this I realised that she is now a grown up dog, not the baby dog I used to know anymore.
It was windy!

On the way to the lake I spotted one family of mat salleh is camping at the beach side, they even have their camp fire. Aww. I wish I could do something like this with my family. In condition that place must be zero mosquito.

Took this somewhere near the lake. Mom and aunt was far behind us. She was very tired after walking along this looong beach.

Then I witnessed something real cute. My cousin threw her Figo from higher spot into that lake and Figo was splashed into the water. It was again very panic and quickly move his legs and swum back to the shore. He then refused to go any nearer to the lake. LOL I thought dogs love water!
Ponyo was very happy when she dipped herself in the water. She swum and splashed the water, berkung-fu in the water, got up the land and jumped back. Really knows how to enjoy.


Artworks of the nature. Mini crabs formed these sand balls while they dug their tunnel under the sand. The diameter is about 4mm. Half of the beach is covered by million of these sand balls.


We left about 7.20pm as the sky is getting dark. Everyone is super tired, thristy and exhuasted after running back and forth the beach.
I'm breathing with my mouth, just like Ponyo. Ponyo is now walking slowly. I can see she is very tired too.



The evening is accompanied by laughs and smiles.
We all had great time and enjoyed watching the dogs doing something they're happy with, even though on the way back we hardly smile because we were very tired.

Although Ponyo didn't interacts with me much, and she barely recognizes me, but I'm very pleased to see the baby I once worried how well she adapted to the new family is now growing up healthy and happy, with a family that took great care of her.
