Bukit Pelindung Housing Estate

Bukit Pelindung Housing Estate is an area of Kuantan located close to Teluk Chempedak beach. 



Welcome to the home of the rich and famous. Well, maybe not quite, but you get what I mean.

High up on a hill, safe from the annual flooding of the monsoon season, Bukit Pelindung contains a large array of custom-made homes, of various shapes and sizes. The house above is still in the construction phase, but the enormous pillars already give it its distinctive mark.

Bukit Pelindung is like a town within a town in Kuantan . . .

Bidding you a warm Welcome!

While out using my new Canon EOS 650D, I came across this very warm welcome sign outside a lovely corner house:

A welcome sign in Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan

Welcome to all my bloggy friends coming here today! Welcome to those who may be here for the first time too! I hope you'll enjoy your visit to my blog today. Come in and make yourself comfortable. I'd love to get in to the house of this welcome sign some day :)

P.S. It's been great to read reviews about my blog from 17 friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. It's great to know what you think about my blog, especially from those who don't leave a comment as often as others.


If you haven't left a short review of my blog, I'd love to hear from you too. You can submit your review right here at 


Just scroll down the page and leave me some love. I'm also planning to do something in return for all those who write a little review!

I'm gonna get you, thief!

We went out for lunch at Vistana Hotel today, and followed it up with a trip to the clinic for Leah's injection.

All went well. When we arrived home we found that our house had been broken into. We were quite shocked to see that someone had used a sharp type of knife to cut through the grille, which we had padlocked.




We nervously began exploring the house. We noticed a few files with our papers, certificates and passports spread all over the bedroom floor, but nothing had been taken. The thief was obviously after some jewellery, but fortunately we are not into buying (real) jewellery! Ha!


Here you can see how the thief had cut off part of the grille where the padlock hangs




Our neighbours said they had heard some loud banging but thought nothing of it. How I wish they did think something of it!

Apparently the thief tried to get in the neighbour's house but someone was home. Our other neighbours in the block opposite have been broken into a few times in the recent past, with jewellery gone missing.


Now we have to repair the grille


Three of our neighbours have seen the thief face-to-face and their descriptions of him match up. Then I suddenly remembered earlier this morning when we were leaving for the hotel, there was a thin Malay man smoking cigarettes at the bottom of the stairs, in his mid-40's. He saw us go down and leave our home. He also had prime viewing of my neighbour's house opposite us. I am extremely sure he is the thief.

He's stupid enough to keep coming back to these apartments, so I'm sure he'll be back before long.

I'm gonna get you thief!

Bukit Sekilau gardens

Both my dad and I love to get out the house and go for walks. Bukit Sekilau in Kuantan is a nice place to go for walks and there's always lots of things to see and much beautiful scenery. Follow our steps as we sauntered around Bukit Sekilau yesterday.


The new Zenith Hotel and Menara Putra can be seen in the distance while the green foreground buzzed with insect noises







A troop of monkeys darted over a house roof as my dad and I looked on:



Scenery at the Bukit Sekilau hill



Nice house in Bukit Sekilau



These red dragonflies seemed to be following us around everywhere!







My dad was fascinated with both the quality and quantity of these bonsai trees:



A portal of white-speckled leaves beckoned the camera lens nearer...



This is such a beautiful leaf



This ball of red fur was awfully appealing to the camera!
