taman negara pt 1

gosh i forgot to tell ya the story of my adventure to the realms of taman negara.this is a very first serious camping trip for me.after months of planning with my team on Sat 3rd June(a day after my birth day!no flour and eggs for me...just barely) we departed from kl central at 6:15 pm.approximately all 40(lecturer,advisor included) of us with our backpacks,tents and etc. off we go!most of us didn't sleep throughout the train ride.i can't sleep for reasons i don't know.probably its the excitement that kept me wide awake!we reached pekan jerantut,pahang aroung 1:30am.needless to say we spent our first night at pekan jerantut's mosque.yes i still couldn't sleep.i was left to experience the night with Amir and then joined by Irwan(our advisor).3 trains passed throughout the cold night.mosquitoes were kept at bay with Amir's ciggy.puffing and creating a chaos for the mosquitoes.5:40 am azan subuh berkumandang.5:30 am some dakwah/tabligh peeps(who happened to be spending the night at the mosque) recited Al-Quran.after solat subuh and a quick wash/bath (for a few) we head towards pekan jerantut to catch our bus to kuala tembeling.we head off to pekan jerantut around 8:00 am.the first bus to kuala tembeling was at 9:30am.since i was wide awake the whole last night so for sure i'm bloody hungry!i had a not so delicious nasik lemak but licin jugak and cuppa of teh o panas and telur setengah masak.half boiled egg kata omputih!9:30am we basically chartered a bus and off to kuala tembeling.i slept throughout the so called bumpy bus ride.mind you is wasn't an air cond bus.old skool back to basic bus with the loceng and lantai papan bus.yes,we survived and reached our destination appoximately 10:15am~10:30am.so dah sampai?NOT!3 hours on a long boat ride then and only then shall we reach our desired destination.after being handed our permints,off we go.i took the 4th and final boat after seeing off others go.being the last and with the least people we managed to overtook our friends in the 3rd boat.it was overweight and we took some people and stuff and load it into our boat yes in the middle of sungai pahang.hahaaa.needless to say i did enjoy the view along the river and goodness the cold wind smacking our faces sure send chill to our spine and yes we were struggling not to pee!but we stopped in a vey natural R&R to discard,empty our bowels.not in the river la!but close.senang jugak jd laki!hahaaaa.unzip and go!muahahahaha.3 hrs later we finally arrived.ohhs and ahhss taman negara.wah!ramai jugak matsaleh and minahsalleh.alamak dah pukul 8.maghrib maghrib.i'll continue...
