On the winding road en-route to Sg. Chiling, one shall pass by Sg. Selangor Dam which holds some 235 million m³ of water. It is maintained by Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd ( SPLASH ). SPLASH is the concessionaire appointed by the ( BN-controlled ) Selangor state government in January 2000 to build, operate and maintain the Sungai Selangor Water Supply Scheme Phase 3 ( SSP#3 )

SPLASH sells the water in bulk ( how much? ) to SYABAS, a water supply distributor appointed by Selangor state government. SPLASH also operate Sg Tinggi Dam, which located at the riverheads of Sg Buluh, which holds a 122.5 million m³ of fresh water.

Shareholders of SPLASH comprise Gamuda Berhad ( who also owns KESAS, LDP, Sprint Highway which the Government keeps compensating huge amount of money for the loses occurred collecting tolls; and the not-so-smart SMART tunnel )( 40% ), the mysterious Sweet Water Alliance ( 30% ) and the Selangor Government’s investment arm Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad .

GLEE - Season Finale Performance - "Over the Rainbow"

Glee is an American musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States.

It focuses on a high school show choir called “New Directions”, of a fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio.

Glee Club used to be at the top of the show choir world, but years later, a series of scandals have turned it into a haven for misfits and social outcasts.

Will Schuster ( Mathew Morrison ), a young optimistic teacher, has offered to take on the Herculean task of restoring Glee Club to its former glory with the help of fellow teacher Emma Pillsbury ( Jayma Mays ).

It’s a tall order when the brightest stars of the pitch-imperfect club include Kurt ( Chris Colfer ), a nerdy soprano with a flair for the dramatic ; Mercedes ( Amber Riley ), a dynamic diva-in-training who refuse to sing back-up ; Arty ( Kevin McHale ), a geeky guitarist who spend more time avoiding bullies than chasing girls ; and Tina ( Jenna Ushkowitz ), an awkward girl who needs to suppress her stutter before she can take center stage.

Will’s only hopes lies with two true talents : Rachel Berry ( Lea Michele ), a perfectionist firecracker who is convinced that show choir is her ticket to stardom ; and Finn Hudson ( Cory Monteith ), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks and a Motown voice who must protect his reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend, Quinn ( Diana Argon ), and his arrogant teammate, Puck ( Mark Salling ).

Gunung Datuk

..
.

Gunung Datuk locates in Kg Batang Nyamor, Gadung of the Rembau district of Negeri Sembilan state. It is within the vicinity of Gunung Tampin Forest Reserve, of which part of the forest reserve is open to public for recreational purpose, known as Hutan Lipur Gunung Datuk.

The summit reaches 2,900 feet ( about 883 meter ) above sea level. But how high is it from the base? Not a clue ! It is however the minimum for a mountain in general appellation, is 1000 feet or 300m over base. So, is it a mountain or mere a hill ?

Journey up the mountain takes about 2 hours. We stop numerous times. It was really steep. Journey down takes about 110 minutes. Can’t move very fast as one might hurt his knee or leg muscles.

It was reported that the summit of the mountain was once used by Dato Perpatih Nan Sebatang to gather Ketua-ketua Adat to announce the title and name of future Dato Lembaga in 1372. What a weird place for such an occasion.

“快到了！”

一路上都有人鼓励说：“快到了！”。不过听多了，又不见路的尽头，不免有点受骗的感觉。
