ok...1/2 awesome and 1/2 aweful la k? so it's AWE-FUL...
it's actually a once in a lifetime xperience cos i promised myself i'd nvr get my ass back into the jungle, up to the waterfall anymore. UNLESS they provide a helicopter...or else...ptah!!
this is the stream...i used my bestest photography skills to take d...not bad wert...HAHAHA
7/10- left midvalley where we gathered at approximately 8.10pm
- had quite a long and monotonous journey(but i didn't mind cos i like sitting in buses and i like long
journeys! heh)
- reached the head office of taman negara at 11+
(supposed to travel in jeeps into the jungle then but because we were told it's the season where
elephants are active so 40 persons were stuck in the small small office and we took a night there.
*the active elephant season means they walk around looking for food at night. not the mating season...;)
- up by 5+...packed and left the headquarters at 7+. sat bhind a STORM. the jouney in was wonderful
until the tarred road ended. we bounced out way in...
- took us about an hour + to reach the camp site. it was freaking beautiful.
- got our huts, changed, jumped into the water and swam, did tubing and yei yin and i rowed our boats
out of the route and we ended up far away and needed someone to pull us back. *smiles shyly)
(tubing was good. walked up about 5 minutes up to the mainstream and we were swept down. the rocks
were terrible. nat fell down, hurt her shin and yin's tube overturned. i reached the base first, thou
didn't know how i managed. and it seems there were water snakes in the stream. so i was obviously
freaked out when i was pushed so fast down.
- had lunch...good meal. rice, curry chicken and potatoes. some malay mmu students who followed the
trip were there just to cook for us. kesian them wei. puasaing and the food smelled damn good.)
- changed. waited for jungle trekking.
NO GOOD! started raining. (i was kinda glad. yin and i were obviously too tired after tubing. returned to
our huts and slept like babis.)
- woke up at 7+. bathed. NEARLY DIED OF HYPOTHERMIA. the water numbed my brain. took 5 mins
and i left the toilet...shivering.
- dinner. FUH! fried rice, fried chicken, potato salad, watermelon and honeydew. ate onli a helping each
except for the fruits thou it tasted really good.
- went night walking. we were supposed to walk into the jungle holding a small torchlight each. and
because it rained in the afternoon, i expected leeches to be everywhere. i wished i was right at home
then.
- walking 1/2way, my legs did not stop moving thou everyone halted to check out the glowing
mushrooms and leaves(they're just normal kulat but they glowed). we had to off our torches to see them
glow. i could not see my hands. yin was bside me...she wasn't at first. sum1 hot was bhind me but i was
too shy to hug him so i shoved him aside and rushed to yin. and thank god he had a torch that
was bright enuff to light up my whole house or i would have fallen into the pit!...SWEET WEI!!! anyway,
the leaves really glowed and we 'wow'ed like monkeys!
- some went frog hunting some went back to the base. i went back of course. snakes eat frogs. catch
frogs=see snakes...HELL NO!
- masuk tandas b4 i mandi. saw some HUGE HUGE ants. i tot those ants wouldn't die so easily. to prove the
statement rite, i stepped on it. it crashed. I BLURTED SORRY TO THE ANT SO FAST and aunty beside me
heard it. she must be thinking i'm so tired i'm hallucinating. anyway, i starting minding my own business
feeling completely bad at what i did and before even finishing my thoughts, 'BLOOMP!'...my specs fell
into the freaking cubicle. fuck wei. yin got me a branch, i straighten the specs in the bowl and
plunged my hand in. almost died...
- slept at 11.52. quite comfortable until i saw a huge rat hanging on the roof. i couldn't care less...nothing
would be worst than sticking ur hand into the toilet bowl. :"(
8/10- woke up at 6+. din change at all. wore tracks, south park tee, long long socks and sports shoes.
- breakfast at 7.20. bbq roti with tuna, sayur and some tomatoes. SEDAP GILER! had chrysanthemum tea
(they threw real bunga kekwa to make the drink...good!)
- warm up. briefing(the leader was teaching us wat to do if we bump into tigers. but everyone took it as
as a joke so literally no one was really listening. hehe
- started out jouney at 8+.
- the journey was ardous. i got my first leech at my finger just after 5 mins of walking. the road was
slippery, tough cos it was uphill all the way and we hiked for 2 1/2 hours b4 we reached the peak. THE
WATERFALL!!!
- it had a picturesque scene. took loads of pix b4 we jumped into the water and swam among the ikan-
ikan. we drank the water also. the E-COLI thing didn't come thru our minds so were gulped down
happily. it was fresh!(forget about the fish. when u have no more water left, even drain water would b
good)
- sunned myself to dry wat i was wearing, wore my socks that i removed b4 i jumped into the water oni to
realize there was a big patch of blood at the ankle area. a blady leech must have enjoyed itself while i
hiking up. damn.
- the journey back was no joke. i slipped, tripped on roots and fell while going downhill cos there were no
grip on my shoes. couldn't really control my legs and i could barely think properly. i was hungy, tired
and breathless.
- hung on...continued walking until finally reaching the base at 2+. could no long jalan. legs were out of
control, i was so hungry i could eat a babi hutan without sharing with anyone. i finished the sneakers
nat brot there in 3 bites and poured hot chrysanthemum without hesitation.
damn tired...but when u reach the place, it's all worth it.
I SWORE TO MYSELF I WOULD NEVER EVER GET MY ASS BACK INTO THE JUNGLE! EVER!!!
*unless i have a helicopter or someone is willing to piggyback me*
- yin and i decided to jump into the stream one more time b4 makan cos we were fucking tired and hot.
removed my socks. saw another punctured hole at the other ankle. fuck the leeches.
- ate like a pig...chicken rice and soup.
- bathed...in the male toilet. it's a fact, women tend to bathe longer. yin and i got ourself a bathroom each
and we kept as quiet as possible to avoid freaking out the men.
- packed, took a group shot and left.
- had coconuts b4 leaving the orang asli settlement. left johor...almost 5pm.
offputting:
- the leeches were disgusting but it seems it tastes really good when u fry them. so after kenaing at both my ankles, i don't find them that teruk anymore. but i still dislike them.
- the journey up to the waterfall was a nightmare. even today when i think of it, i still shiver. i'm left with muscle aches all over my body including my hair, a purple toe, thorns all over my fingers due to the fall while hiking up and i can feel my body rocking once in a while due to...watever that caused it!!!
plus point:
- it was a good experience. the last 2 camps i went to didn't need me to attend jungle trekking cos...i didn't wan to go then. but it definitely wasn't even 1/4 of this. so i'm glad i completed it.
- tried many activities unavailable in cities. the air was fresh, the waterfall was indeed breathtaking, the ppl were nice and the food was...good. HAHA
- i lost a little weight(MUAHAHAH), i'm darker and the fresh water helps in pimples. MUAHAHA
and the best is still...
i met someone really hot. as in...HOT!
had a nice time...
thou i'm tired...
in pain...
and...i like it.
whoever u think i'll think is leng chai...he's hot giler! hahahahahah
more pix at my multiply...lazy to link. scroll down la...
