Day 2 of National Park, Pahang

can i write the post when i got the mood?
i just upload the photos first..
i cant write happy stuff when i am all gloomy right now

smile

don't worry

be happy..

i am puzzled

Should I improve myself by taking up the challenges?

To do something that is not compatible with my current personality?

Or survive in a way which soon or later I will get bored and sick of?

To stay in my comfort zone forever or get out of it right away?

What should I do?

Future is vague, I am puzzled..

Can anyone please kick me out from my own wonderland?

I need help..

I actually asked my brother to show his friends our photos and tell them that I am his girlfriend..

Then my sis says quietly, why so old geh?? Then I say, old good ma.. I can pay all your bills and expenses.. Lame.. Very lame..

youngest sister

She was having a hard time eating the chicken because it was a little bit hard.

Then she said she felt awful because she feels like eating her own species.. Her Chinese zodiac is chicken..

I don’t know whether she was cracking a joke or telling me seriously.. But it was hilarious…

Day 1 of National Park, Pahang

Day 1 of national park

Friday, 2/10/2009

Both Calvin and I took bus to Pasar Seni and reached there around 8am. Apparently we need to reach Mandarin Pacific hotel at 7.30am to register. But we reached there around 8.20am, it's ok I guess since Calvin ady told the agency that we are gonna be late.

We departed from Kl and took a long journey to reach Jerantut.

After that we had our lunch there, I got no appetite at all. Eventually I was forcing myself to eat some food because later on we have activities, so I don’t wanna get hungry or getting low blood sugar level in the mid way of any activities.

We took an extra tour that is— the cave exploration.

So we went to the national park by 1 hour journey car instead of 2 hours journey boat. Together with 2 more malay guys and off we go.

lunch at Jerantut

Aki chalet..

Our 3days 2 night accommodation

here i am, at the floating restaurant

3pm- cave exploration.

A boat took us to a place.

So in order to reach the cave, we need to do some walking.

Jungle trekking!!! My favourite..

I couldn’t remember how long the walk is, but I think around half an hour or even more?

The guide told us that there are tigers, elephants in the jungle.. But so far he never came across with any tigers.

Then he say normal tiger is not special enough.. The blue tiger is more precious. Then I was like so curious.. What? Are there any blue tigers?

Then he started to say.. You can get them in 7-11..

TIGER BEER..

I feel so dumb, I get cheated within seconds..

T__________________T

Still feel happy even after being cheated..

Here we are. Ear cave. Gua Telinga.

This picture seems nicer with me posing peace sign over there. Hehe.. It’s an evidence to show that I came here before!!

From internet- brief description of Ear Cave

This is a limestone outcrop eroded almost down to ground level. A stream passes through the outcrop via several dark chambers separated by sections open to the light. A rope marks an 80M-long route through the caves, roughly following the stream. Exploring thoroughly along the way, it takes at least half an hour to pass through, crawling in a places along narrow passages and negotiating areas of deep squishy guano !!!

What you need for cave exploration?

1. Torch light or head torch light. (I don’t know what it call, but put on head that kind)
2. Sport shoe
3. I think dark colour long pants are better.. (if not you will end up like me, getting cuts and bruises..)

It was a total dark inside the cave. Some areas were easy to crawl. Some were so hard..

I met 2 difficulties during the cave exploration.

First case, when I reached a higher place and I can’t balance myself. My hands couldn’t reach any rocks to balance myself. I was like.. shit.. I’m gonna fall backward..

I was struggling and starts to move both my arms in circular motion.. like the cartoon when they gonna fall, they move their hands in circular motion to like balance themselves. I think people in front saw what I was doing.. So embarrassed.. T_____T

But thank god I survived!!!!

Second case, I couldn’t climb up the rock.

The next step was so high.. Above my shoulder level.. Plus the rock was smooth and slippery and my arms are not strong enough to lift myself up..

White man gone far in front of me ady..

And I started to cry..T________T

No la.. I won’t cry for this thing.. Calvin was walking behind me and lifted me up.. Pity him.. He had to carry the torch light and camera. And, crawl in shit area.

Yupe, bats' shit..

bats!!! so many of them..

We reached an area where it was smelly, because of the shit. There were so many bats flying around. I can even feel them flying above and beside me.

Closer look..

Bats are so cute!!!

They were munching on something..

sliding down.. ass full of bat's shit..

Hands covered with bats’ shit

For those visitors who are over-sized, it is advisable NOT to enter Gua Telinga as you may have difficulty to crawl through the narrow passages and get stuck inside!!!

After we've finished the cave exploration, need to walk out from the jungle.. The sky is dark and it’s gonna be a heavy rain. So we need to speed up.

So once out from the jungle, heavy rain..

I was cold, shivering and sick at the same time.

So when back to aki chalet, I vomited 3 times!!

Due to the heavy rain, the night jungle walk activity has been cancelled..

----the end for day 1----
