Sungai Lembing Trip
The night before the trip,
our graduating Immediate Past President
(such a posh name for ex-president -_-'')
decided to have a house party at her place.
She is normallythis unglam quite a lady =P
Tze Yuen even made a video with all her moments *haha*
But due to her Facebook privacy settings I can't embed it here =(
It was a really fun night with food, booze, games, secrets and very little sleep *hehe*
****************************************
The next day was TRIP DAY!!
^_^
Due to the previous night,
the bus trip was filled with blurry eyes
and sleepy heads
instead of the typical rowdy bus behavior.
After god knows how long, we reached our first destination!
Sadly, the sun doesn't set on this side of the Earth...
I haven't been back to Kuantan for such a long time,
Teluk Cempedak beach has changed so much since then.
This though sure haven't change XD
After much camwhore,
we left for dinner and head for Sungai Lembing.
One of the movie we watched on the bus was Wrong Turn.
Not a very wise choice considering the following that happened during the trip.
1. As you could see in the picture above, Viran turned into a ghost.
2. We had to pass by a really creepy cemetery on the way in and out of our resort.
3. We had to go into the jungle to get to the Rainbow Waterfall.
4. There were deserted houses along the riverbank on the way into the jungle.
5. There was a fork road in the jungle and we took the left turn.
6. One of the 4WD had a flat tyre on the way out of the jungle.
Really bad timing to watch such a thriller =S
On a more cheery note,
this was the room Charlene, Chi Ching, Sandra and I shared.
It had such a nice color ^_^
Since we arrived at the resort rather late,
nothing was really planned for the night.
We just dilly-dallied around,
played cards and Taboo,
and some of them played mahjong (I want to learn!!)
****************************************
Morning call was 4.30am the next morning +_+
We had breakfast at the only hawker center there
and took the 4WD to Rainbow Waterfall.
We stopped halfway to enjoy the sunrise
but it was too cloudy that day =(
It was all walking/hiking from here on.
We had a number of these river crossings
and I almost lost my slippers to the current >_<
Wrong turn nightmare O_o
Check out the waterfall!!!
It's so high up that the water comes down like rain at the bottom.
The view was absolutely breathtaking.
The view was so so so pretty up here
I didn't want to go down.
I want to live up there!! >_<
Kenny, Brian and I were like the last one to go down
while the rest were all having their Maggi Cup
made by the waterfall water.
As mentioned earlier,
one of the 4WD had a flat tyre.
Quoting Tze Yuen's Facebook comment
"haha..all city kids...never see how flat tyre is changed before =p"
After lunch, we visited Charas Cave.
It was pretty dark inside
so we had to carry torchlights with us.
At one point, I shone my torchlight at this bunch of bats above
and they STARED at me =S
This was the Reclining Buddha in the cave.
At midday, sunshine will strike his face
through this hole at the top of the cave.
Other than the Reclining Buddha,
there were some other Buddhas and religious statues as well.
The place was also said to be inhibited by some monkey-like creatures the size of humans.
A Caucasian guy apparently saw it the day before our visit,
and our tour guide wasn't really keen on staying in the cave for too long.
A lot of us were exhausted when we got back to the resort.
For me it was obviously the lack of sleep from previous nights,
so I just showered and slept till dinner time XD
We had a BBQ dinner.
There were burgers, chicken wings, stingrays, lamb, sausages and seafood balls.
There was also this special type of otak-otak which was white in color,
and the famous roasted pork ^_^
And not to forget the vege XD corns, sweet potatoes and salad.
It was a really nice dinner,
except for those who were fretting over exam results
because they registered for SMS delivery -_-''
After dinner, this uncle who was an ex-teacher
came to talk to us about his golden days.
It was really funny to see him being nagged by his wife to go home.
*LOL*
In the end, it was another late night
that ended with a karaoke session.
*hehe*
****************************************
Woke up at 4.30am AGAIN +_+
Worst still, we had to hike up Panorama Hill in the dark =3
All that for this miserable sunrise
because it was yet again too cloudy =(
The view of the mist was quite nice though.
Doesn't it look like some Chinese painting?? =P
We lingered till the sun was way up
and headed down for breakfast.
We ate at this store in the hawker that was famous for their tofu.
Their tofu is supposedly made from mountain spring water.
It was actually pretty nice,
but I can't remember the name of the store
except that 阿贤 (Ah Xian) from Taste with Jason has been there before.
The Sungai Lembing Hanging Bridge was our next destination.
It was kind of scary to walk on it when it was swaying
and some of the boards were like loose and unstable =S
But Melissa and Pei Yee just ran across the bridge like it was nothing,
and an uncle scolded us because he say the bridge might collapse,
which just made me feel SO SAFE -_-''
There's a small village on the other side,
and also this handmade noodle shop.
I think this is a really traditional way of making noodles
whereby they kind of hump this stick to flatten the noodle XD
The noodle is then put into a machine to make it noodle-like
and boiled for a while.
Once it's done, it gets tossed around in oil and voila!
The Sungai Lembing Museum was the last place we visited.
There was not much there except mining stuff.
Since we were all tired from walking,
we didn't bother going to the old mining site.
Last group picture at the Lembing Riverview Resort where we stayed.
It was a really nice place,
and the people there were really nice and hospitable too.
^_^
This 'scandal-full' trip (don't ask!) was definitely the highlight of my semester break =D
Got to know a lot of the Leo Club members better, and it was just really really very fun!
