下一站，金山瀑布 Next Destination, Air Panas Waterfall

三年前，我和另外七个同事登上了马来半岛南部最高峰——金山。这是我们几个在美丽的公主瀑布下的照片。

3 years ago, I went up Gunung Ledang ( Mt. Ledang, the highest peak at Southern Peninsular Malaysia ) with 7 collegues. This is the photo we took with the beautiful Puteri Waterfall ( Princess Waterfall ).

自从六月头到云顶后，同事们的出游活动就停顿了下来。一半是因为平时最好的召集人出国公干了，另一半更重要的是工作增加了大家忙得喘不过气来。

最近阿蛇从苏州回来后就一直邀活动，大家又开始慢慢活跃起来了。经过几次的讨论后，决定来次短程的出游——到一个小时车程外的金山瀑布去！

但是，当讨论到谁要成为活动的召集人时，每个人却开始推托说自己办事不力，不能够胜任这个重任。结果，推来推去就叫我这个所谓“有经验去那边”的人负责了。

当拟好伊妹儿（伊妹儿参考英文版本）时，我在想如果可以爬到出名的公主瀑布去野餐的话，就不必在第三湖和其他的游客挤在一起了……

Since our last trip to Genting in early June, the outing activities among the colleges had slow down. This is because the best organizer is still on business trip but most important thing is that everyone is busy with their new work load too.

Chua had been asking everyone to go out since his recent return from China business trip. This had re-activated everyone's mood to look for the next trip. After few canteen discussions, we decided to organize a short 1 day picnic trip to Air Panas Waterfall, which is just an hour drive from Melaka.

Although this news excites everybody, but everyone starts to say that he/she is not capable when come to the election of lead organizer. At last, I was elected to become the organizer with the reason "I have more experience visiting this tourist spots that is located near to my hometown", haha.

When I was drafting the email below, I was thinking that it will be best if we are allowed to hike up to Puteri Waterfall for our picnic as we will not need to share the water pool with all other tourist...
