One of the reasons why many foreign tourists who vacation in Sekongkang is because  already available facilities resorts and hotels in the beach location. Almost all beach areas in Sekongkang been owned by businessmen who have invested their assets in land and lodging.

Tropical Beach

The hordes cattle on road intercept our trip. Asphalt road along the village in Sekongkang still has a pretty good quality. Rarely found a hole, you'll only find the cow or horse patties that has dried up hahaha.. Here, road traffic can be said to be very deserted. Even though, super quality tires with body ford ranger, hilux, strada, matic motor, or stray cows also enjoy these public facilities. No wonder motorist spur vehicle above 40 km/h. Except this time, we reduce the speed even stopped to succumb to other road users. Yes, the trip to Tropical beach stopped by hordes of cattle was crossing.


When it going out from the settlement area of Sekongkang village, along the way I look, on the east side towering wooded hills and a variety of other living creatures that are hidden behind it. On the opposite side, the gardens with wooden fence stood upright, and estuary which flanked by Lawar Beach and Pesir Beach. There are some beautiful beaches that bypassed during the journey to the Tropical Beach. They are Pesir Beach, Santai Beach, Rantung Beach, and Yoyo Beach. Some beaches such as Santai Beach, Rantung Beach and Yoyo Beach has signpost markers. Not only indicates that there is beach but also a lounge bar, restaurant, and homestay.

The winding road to the south ended with the discovery of a marker that reads Tropical Beach at the intersection of four. The intersection of four is not so clear because the road to the east and to the west is no longer paved. If eastwards towards Townside, while to the west is the direction of my destination, Tropical Beach. Less than 1 kilometer, there is Tropical Resort and Spa. This resort like be a portal to Tropical Beach. Do not worry, if just to be able enjoy the beach, you do not need to entrance the resort and not have to pay, no ticket or free. If driving, the parking is free. Indeed there is no guard for your vehicle and parking area, do not be afraid, because the local people believe that the security of the area is reasonably assured. It is a fact that almost all visitors at the Sekongkang beach are foreign tourists, even is very rarely found domestic travelers.


My wearily trip shortchanged by enjoy the beautiful landscape Tropical Beach under a gazebo with shady thatched roof. White sand studded coral forming pretty patterns made ​​by waves of the beach. Gradation sea blue of tropical beach be refresh eyes. This beach be more enchanting with towering hills frames. Some bule carrying their surfboard and ran to waves. While two fisherman throws his net to hunt fish. Breeze and buzzing waves disguise the hot sun this day.

Bukan Do'a Untuk Aku

Aku bersiap melihat kelemahan
Aku bergegas merasakan kesempurnaan
Mati rasakah mereka?
Surga yg tidak dapat dilihat
Hamba tau ini garis hidupmu
Memberi mereka kekuatan dalam kelumpuhan
Memberikan ketegaran dalam kesakitan
Butuh? Ya aku butuh dan sangat butuh guru seperti mereka
Mereka bukan lemah tetapi mereka tabah
Mereka tidak jahat tetapi mereka bertahan
Tuhan jangan biarkan debu menjadi teman mereka
Jangan biarkan cacian menjadi penambah kerapuhan
Jangan biarkan kekurangan menjadi penderitaan
Hamba tau... Mereka berada dijalanMu
Bahkan lebih dari aku

Kenangan Abadi

Tentang apa itu kebahagiaan, tentang apa itu penyesalan, tentang apa itu kesedihan
Bagaimana penantian paling keji ketika janji tak terpenuhi
Bagaimana bulan tak lagi indah ketika hitam menghampiri
Bagaimana mentari tak lagi hangat ketika badai menerjang
Tatkala jiwa menjadi begitu rapuh saat kekasih tak kunjung datang
Hati yang haus akan kasih dahulu
Hingga senyum bukan lagi bahagia, hingga tawa bukanlah suka
Hingga air mata itu mengering dan menghempaskannya dalam derita tanpa akhir
Tantang bagaimana sesal dan maaf tak lagi berarti
Tentang bagaimana sang merah merangkul jiwa yang suci
Menghancurkannya dalam duka terdalam
Lantas, pantaskah mata ini menangis...?
Pantaskah hati ini bersedih....?
Pantaskah bibir ini berucap maaf...?
Setelah jiwa yang hancur karena kepergianku
Dan kepergiannya tak akhiri semua derita
Namun wajah itu selalu bahagia di tengah kegalauan
Meski mentari dan bulan datang silih berganti
Senyum tetaplah senyum, tawa akan selalu menjadi tawa
Ketulusan itu tiada kan ku lupa
Walau air mata tak mampu merengkuhnya kembali
Karena kenangan akan selalu abadi

Teringat saat pertama aku mengenalmu...

Aku tersenyum jika mengingat waktu itu...

Melihat wajahmu, mendengarkanmu bernyanyi...

        Oh Tuhan, apa yang telah terjadi padaku?

        Sungguh aku ingin melihatmu

        Aku ingin menyentuhmu

        Aku ingin bercanda tawa denganmu

        Aku ingin bernyanyi bersamamu

Setiap hari tidak pernah satupun aku terlewat mengingat tentangmu

Jika saja jarak tidak menjadi penghalang

Aku ingin sekali berlari kepadamu dan berteriak bahwa aku mencintaimu

        Tetap bersatulah

        Jangan pernah terpisahkan

Jika Tuhan memberikanku umur yg panjang

Izinkan aku untuk memandang wajahmu

Kumohon percaya padaku

Aku akan mencintaimu

Untuk hari ini

Besok dan seterusnya... Selalu
