We arrived at Pulau Ketam jetty around 10.10am (about 35 minutes journey from Port Klang). The ticket costs RM7.00 per person for one way trip.
This public toilet is located near the Pulau Ketam jetty. There is no water to wash hands, wtf. The best part is that you don't need to flush. Do you get what I mean?
You can find these little creatures around the Pulau Ketam. There are all kind of crabs in Pulau Ketam on the muddy riverside or beach.
The mode of transportation ~ either by cycling or walking. The bikes are available for rent for RM5 per day. Pulau Ketam is a very small fishing village. By cycling, you can go around the village in less than half a day.
Most of the population (about 99%) in Pulau Ketam are Chinese. The local are mainly Teochew and Hokkien. The only bank in Pulau Ketam is Maybank. So, don't worry if you are running out of cash. There are few hostels in Pulau Ketam as well. The rate is around RM60 per night per pax.
Nam Thiam Keng (top) and Hock Leng Keng (bottom right) temples. A view of the village from the 3rd floor of Hock Leng Keng temple (bottom left).
Top ~ The roads around the village are made from either cement or wood.
We stopped at Li Hua Seafood Restaurant to have lunch. This place is located at the market.
We ordered 'kung-pou' mantis and clay pot stingray.
Back pepper prawns and lala soup.
Fried kailan and dried chilies crabs.
Side order from a stall at the road side ~ 'lala jien'.
Total damage made ~ RM147.00 plus RM12.00 for the lala-jien.
The restaurant do sell live crabs.
Next, we bought tickets (RM12.00 per person) to visit the fish farm. Too bad that the sea water are not very clear. There are huts available for rent for peoples who like fishing and can stay overnight there as well.
Cute puppies.
We also made a stop at one of the fish dealer centers in Pulau Ketam. The fishermen go out to the sea early in the morning and come back with their catch around 3.00pm.
OMG!!! Fresh prawns.
The workers busy sorting out the prawns according to it's sizes.
One of the workers busy doing the packing of all kind of fishes, squids and prawns to be delivered to the wet markets at the mainland.
We say goodbye to Pulau Ketam and reached the Port Klang jetty around 5.00pm.
# Top - the tow truck driver checking out my car problem.
The main culprit ~ my car could not start is due to this engine crank sensor failure. It's costs me RM145.00 and RM70.00 for the labour and on site charges, wtf. Besides that I have changed the air-cond belt (RM26.00) and service the radiator (RM18.00) as well.
Early this month, my car got problem with the clutch. I got stranded at Tg Karang after I could not engaged the 1st gear when I am about to drive when the traffic light turned green.
I spent about 5 hours at the workshop to wait for the mechanics to finish changing the clutch set and it costs me RM470.00.
# Here you go, another pair of shocks gone into the dustbin.
# Packaging ~ rock solid, heart touching ~ yeah, right?
# Jeng-jeng ~ my babe, power cord, CDs and manual.
# Here is my new babe.
# Glossy brown color notebook. There is only one color for this model.
# The reason I chose Asus over the others is because of the spec like the motherboard and it has other little extra features like:
# My new babe vs my current Compaq Presario. If you notice, I need to use the USB keyboard to type cos the alpha-numeric keys on the Compaq Presario had screwed upside-down T__T
# It costs me RM3,100 for this new babe and I have these freebies as well: Cooling pad, Mouse, Headset, USB hub, LCD Cleaner set and Notebook lock.
# My babe need a fresh charge for 6 hours.
# I also bought the D-Link wireless router for RM110.
# I think this Kingsoft is the most famous booth. There are many visitors (young or old; guys or girls) standing around to look at these girls. The moment I took out my E71 and point at them, they are starting to pose and get ready for me to take photo. But my E71 is not good on photo shots... very bad quality.

Laugh constantly
And never stop smiling no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.
