Suria The Elephant

I watched elephants doing massage, I watched them cycling, I watch them kicked football, I fed them with sugarcanes, and I always want to ride on them.


The samseng kaki went to a nearer elephant sanctuary after a revisit to Kenyir Lake. For Kenyir Lake, we went to Saok Waterfall and the Herbal Garden again, and the boat driver gave us bonus to catfish sanctuary.


Due to the monsoon, the lake was not as beautiful as it was in last April. I wonder why everyday rain but the water level was lower than previous and then we have to walk to the waterfall. I wonder how. I wonder why.

Last time the boat can reach to the red arrow there and I can’t even see the ground, rocks and grasses.

Erhem, I cooked this beneficial Tongkat Ali (fake one)

But I really ate these. They are pucuk gelugor and taste sour like asam keping.

And the samseng kaki went to catfish sanctuary to feed the piranha.

They ate like piranha! Luckily the lake water didn’t turn bloody red

After piranha catfish feeding, the samseng kaki drove about an hour to the elephant sanctuary at Sungai Ketiak Ketiar. That is a small sanctuary with I-forgot-how-many elephants.


Ta-Da…She is Suria! She has smiling eyes.

I fed her with sweet potatoes and she’s like a vacuum cleaner. Hahahaha!

Those uncles fed her with coke and peanuts! Suria was happy. See, she’s smiling again!

It’s time to ride on Suria. She is huge and steady. Somehow, I was quite afraid, afraid that she will suddenly went gila and throw me down. But luckily Suria’s smiling. Or she actually smiles all the time?! Hello!

uncle...how good it would be if you are not an uncle...sigh!

but elephant really moves so slow!
