Great Trekking Trip

After being uncontactable for more than 24hrs, I'm back from my trekking trip. It was a great and fun trip, and definitely a very good experience. I only slept for 6hrs since Friday night, and I was really tired after my warm and comfortable bath (with heater), but I enjoyed the trip so much that I can't wait but to write about the trip on my blog.

It was a trip with blood and sweat. We walked quite a distance with our super heavy bag and hollanded quite a distance. We climbed up and down the slope. We even had to cross the river bare footed or by stepping the stones. We even walked through the overgrown. As we walked past the jungle, we could feel small little cuts on my legs or arms. And we were prone to the attack of the irritating Leeches! Poor Liewen is damn poor thing as he was attacked by the leeches several times! But we really had fun cooking for our meals! We cooked all kinds of great food using our wonderful gas stoves. We ate Curry Flavoured Maggie Mee with mei cai ya, Spaghetti with Luncheon Meat, Mashed Potatos, Hotdogs, Pringles, Almond Jelly with Peach and Rambutan Cocktail, Bread with Mayonise or Butter, drank coffee, campbell's soup, yuan yang with really weird taste and teh. We basically were eating most of the time. We even bathed in the waterfall WHICH WAS FREEZING COLD. It took us a lot of courage to soak our whole body into the freezing cold water! And the most memorable part of the trip would be that I even slept in the flooding tent as it was raining super heavily last night.

Enjoy the pictures...

All of us met up at Yishun MRT station at 11pm. There were Jianhui, Teck Loon, Liewen, Shuling, Freddy, Weipeng and me. 7 individuals with one focus - Trekking to Perting Fall

Mr Commando Officer, Liewen with his 55+10 SuperHeavy+SuperPowerful+SuperBig bag. I can't even lift his bag up!

We boarded the luzury coach at 11+ and we set off to Pahang! Weipeng and I was sitting on the last row with 4 seats! I occupied 3 seats. Very shuang! I could even lie down and cuddle to sleep!

Feeling so cosy with Weipeng's sleeping bag

At around 6am, we reached our starting point. All of us started to prepare for the trekking by spraying ourselves with insect repellent, lighting up the mosquitoes coil and drinking water. And I had to wear contact lens in darkness. It was really challenging, trust me.

The Unfinished House which we took sometime to find it.

Yeah! We finally managed to find our Unfinished House!

Afterwhich, we had to cross the river to get to the other side of the trail.

River crossing with our barang barang...

Afterwhich, we had to walk through the OVERGROWN jungle. It was a tough track as we had to look out for leeches and those sharp grasses. We even had to climb over some of the fallen trees of crawl underneath them.

And we took at least 1.5-2 hrs to finish this part of the trek to reach the final point!

Look at the words on the tree - Perting plus an arrow down!

It was a steep slope and it was very dangerous to descend to the waterfall given that it was quite slippery as well...

Just when we were about to go down to the waterfall, we discovered that there was a BIG & FAT leech on Liewen's leg!

It's damn bloody and disgusting! Irritating Leech. From the trip, we've learnt that we can use Army's insect repellent or qing cao you to kill the leeches! As for prevention, I guess by spraying insect repellent on your body helps. Even now, I have phobia of Leeches!

Then, we started to climb down the slope one by one.

Finally, we can do some cooking!

Cooking the spaghetti

Look at the satisfying expression on Teck Loon's face!

The Spaghetti. Maybe the spaghetti looks normal to you, but trust me, the feeling of eating Spaghetti beside the waterfall is super SHUANG!

Super Cold Almond+Rambutan+Peach dessert! Yummy!

Unfortunately, it started raining heavily at night. Due to our laziness, our tent was flooded with water. And I was really worried that our tents would drown given that the rain just kept on getting bigger and bigger and the water seemed to get nearer and nearer to our tent. I was so panaroid that I would check the tide every 15 minutes that I didn't sleep at all. Luckily, it stopped raining at 12am and we started cooking Campbell's Soup and Coffee. It was a great luxury to drink HOT, CHEESY and NICE Campbell's Soup in such cold weather by the waterfall!
And I finally got to sleep after the soup...

I was so comfortable sleeping, but Teck Loon woke us up at 7am to get ready to go back home!
We had a super filling breakfast in the morning then we started packing our bag to leave.

I can't bear to leave the place!

It was so much easier to go back to the starting point as we were going down slope all the way. But, it was quite heavy to carry the trash bag down as there was REALLY a lot of rubbish given that we ate so much for each and every meal!

And we finally boarded the bus to go back to Singapore!

One moment I was happily taking photos with Weipeng in the bus and the next moment, I was...

in my dreamland.

It was a great getaway and now I'm back to the civilization world. Thanks all of them for making the trip so memorable and wonderful. This trip would not have been successful if not for each and everyone's contribution as a team. Thanks guys. My only regret for this trip is I should have brought my sleeping bag there. It's freaking cold sleeping in the tent outside and sleeping with poncho around my legs was not very comfortable.

And I'm going back to work tomorrow.

My goodness.
