At the Royal Belum jetty ... this is puasa month time; hence, only our group. (L1: Josephine Lee, Ivy Wong, Wey Tyng, Sammi, Mey Wong)

It was an enjoyable trip for the 3D2N in Kenny's new houseboat. He served a lot of nice food. We have a good time with the good food, singing karaoke, outdoor trekking and water recreational activities. This would be my second trip to Royal Belum; previously, it was Kenny's old houseboat. 

As for hiking up Gunung Kerunai (1,000m) in Gerik, that morning, there was no sunrise and no sea of clouds because of the sudden change in weather with the heatwave.

Gunung Kerunai hike, Monday 17 April 2023 ... taking a rest. Started the hike at 3am; the first group arrived at the peak at 5am while the last group arrived at 6am. 

The background is another bigger mountain, Mount Kendorong; after the forest fire, the Forestry closed that mountain for hiking.
