everything is so simple and warm here. the people, the houses, the kids and their smiles. 45 minutes drive from sungai buloh, we've reached kuala selangor, a small fishing village amidst sea and greenery. this small community consist mostly chinese with a minority of malays and indians. villagers here normally perform the same routine everyday. they set off to sea around 5am, bringing back netful of various types of fishes, prawns, and squids.
during weekdends, people from the city like us, would come and purchase seafoods as they are really fresh from the sea. and i guaranty you 99% the seafood here are definitely fresh that you cannot resist buying them. dry products were made from their catchings too, namely ikan masin, sotong kering, fishballs, prawn crackers and much more. 
ikan masin anyone?
aunties making 4000 fishballs EVERYDAY!
real or not?!
we had lunch at this i forgot what name restaurant situated by the sea. um... in terms of view, not very fascinating though. but who cares, what matters the most is that the food served is SO DAMN GOOD! 
the very fresh sotong makes every bite worth 45 minutes of drive
super fresh promfet , oh.. just beyond words..
the shops mostly situated by the sea all have their own dock as platform to receive fishermen coming back from sea. most of the catchings go to the middle man before being sold at the market, whereas some are selling to the people coming into their shop personally. i would not say that the price they are selling for is very cheap but it is worth buying from them for the freshness *that is if you do not mind the journey lah*
waiting, waiting and still waiting... when is the boat coming?
AH! finally....
life seems so simple that money is no big issue for the people here. it is the togetherness and the strength of the community, the warmth of their smiles, the breeze from the sea, the tranquility of the surroundings and most important the simplicity you can never find in the concrete jungle that makes this place a perfect escapade from the hectic and complex lifestyle of the city.
totally contradicting to the city, here, i can breathe the air and witness the truly innocent laughters of the kids that i can never find in kl.
