& BOOM !
I'm back baby :DDD
Seriously, I gotta admit that the Gunung Tahan trip was the AWESOME-MEST days of my life. ODAC members really had bonded together somehow. I really have to say that I really miss Pahang and the Guides, especially Aki, Aszri and Joki , they were really there for me to cheer me on.
Day 1 and Day 2:
A splendid day to begin. We all gathered in school, took the bus and go off with the train. We reached Merapoh at 5am and took the four-wheel drive and it was the best one ! We rest at this point to sleep till about 7am and took another four-wheel drive to Kuala Juram and it was even better than all the roller-coasters or theme parks. Not only the ride was fast but at the same time, we get to look at breath-taking views. Took some pictures here and there. & when the teachers came, that's where the horror began ... we started trekking to Camp Kor. Nah, it wasn't really that horrifying, its just a lil tough though. We got to cross four to six rivers which is soo coooool ! Well in the first place , I thought we're going to cross the rivers with bridges but hell no, we got to cross ourselves. I didn't wanna get dirty at first but until a few hours after trekking, I realised that I'd just get dirty over and over again. It rained at about 7pm and our tents were flooded and I got to sleep with puddles on my legs which was freezing cold but I had a great time laughing with my mates in the tent. We ate some instant chicken curry for lunch and dinner and when the night came ... almost everyone of us had diarrhea. I thought no one would be using the toilet at 1am - 2am in the morning but it was chaotic ! Everybody wanna use the toilet and telling on e another to quicken up. I didn't went to the toilet but I heard all the noises and there's this part which was so funny.
QK was in the toilet for so long and people wanna use it but he don't wanna come out 'cause I think he wasn't really quite done yet. So here it goes :
Ms.Rineal : Quen Ken ! Come out now ! All of us wanna use the toilet !
QK : Wait, wait ! Nasrul, help me get my face towel in my bag !
Nasrul : I get for you tissue la !
QK : I don't want ! I want face towel !
Ms Rineal to Nasrul : Has QK come out yet ?
Nasrul : No, he said he want face towel.
Ms Rineal : What for ?
Nasrul : I don't know ! I think to wipe his poop.
Then I don't know la but suddenly Nasrul goes all around the campsite and keep on saying,
" QK has poop on his butt ! "
& believe me, he said that repeatedly. Now that was one of the funniest night, and the toilet stinks worst then hell the next morning.
Day 3:
& we're off our way to camp Botak ! The route there was much tougher. I almost gave up on the route but thanks to Ms Shaheedah, Abg Aszri, Mr Sufian and Afiq , I made it all the way. We are suppose to reach Camp Botak but we have to stay at Bonsai for the night as it rained half way. All the groups there has arriveed and they were dry, except for mine. We were soaking wet while they're under ground sheets and tent. It was freezing cold like I never felt before, I keep on having recaps on how I sleep with a blanket that's so warm on my bed while I've to sleep like puppies with the rest in tents.
Day 4:
Its the moment we've been waiting for, we're on our way to the PEAK :D It is the kind of feeling that you never had. we've climb one of the toughest mountain in the Peninsular of Malaysia ! Once I reached the peak, I was jumping around like some mad dog ! And yeah it was freaking damn cold ! So took pictures at the peak and head our way back down to Camp Kor. Trekking from Bonsai to Camp kor was really a horror, we were really late and it was getting dark. I keep on slipping and falling without any failure. It was pitch dark that we need torches almost everywhere, I really wanna thank Nadiah as she really had a look out for me and the others too. We reached our campsite at about 9pm when the rain acutally started at about 5pm, just imagine how cold and how much we suffered there ? But hey, that's the only night I got to sleep most comfortably ! Thank god ! Really had a great time sleeping in the tent with Mariana , Yini and Sherlin , we had lots of laughters together before sleeping. And Yini said that I keep on calling her name during night time ? Don't tell me that I sleep talk ? hahah , wth man.
Day 5:
Wake up much later as we had lots of time to reach down the base. My hand have scratches here and there, bruises evrywhere on my legs and I can barely walk right now. And so we all started trekking at 10am. So I was right at the middle and everytime I was about to sit , they all started moving, wth. Si I was so fed up, I went up to the front. The guides keep on saying that we're reaching Kuala Juram and I thought it was only a resting point at first so I don't give a damn that much. Suddenly, they all started running and I was like, " Aper sia, stakat resting point pon nak lari mcm budak jakun! " Then suddenly I remembered the bridge staircase that leads to the base ! So I was running for the end ! And again, I was jumping and dancing like hell. That's right people , I climbed to Gunung Tahan and I reached to the base with my own foot ! So took another four-wheel drive to the hostel. We bathed at the river and damn ! It was refreshing ! I so love the rivers la sey ! I love the part when some of us spend some time at the station playing some annoying games, it really something that's going on between us.
Day 6:
Arrived Tanjong Pagar at 12pm. & yes baby , I'm home !
I wanna say to all odac members on that day that gave me support and encouragement, even the Sec 5s , especially Afiq, he's such a gentlement that give me hope not to give up. & Mariana and Nadiah were such good friends that they keep a look out for me almost all the time. & Ms Shaheedah and Mr Sufian for pushing me, I don't think I can make it without them. ODAC , we are together as one !
Well, that's about it. I'm finding days to go out with my sister to spend some time together.So goodbye :D
