Day 2 WE woke up around 1:30am....*hardly slept well previous night coz our neighbour for that night is too noisy and quite inconsiderate...keep on shining their torch light into our tents* prepared quick breakfast and just have to make sure everyone ate enough...so, we left about 2:45am...*not sure why we take so long to prepare though, maybe we are just too stone to wake up at that hour*. interestingly, the guide is bringing us using a unfamiliar route to us whom had been there before. That make things exciting. We trekked with our torches on and have to be careful and to make sure no one is being too distant away til out of sight. The 1st hour of our journey is pretty easy. More on walking along the jungle path and a little bit of ascending. The major challenge comes when we reaches "KFC"... Don't ask me what's the full term of it coz i don't know. hehe...Mervyn, Kumar & I started making up stories of there is a KFC shop in the jungle and it is run by Orang Asli. Interestingly, some of the members buy that idea....maybe they wanna eat some deep fried juicy chicken in the jungle...but when we started climbing along the "KFC" everyone seems to have forgotten the chicken story and keep on climbing... it is actually a ascending trail and if it is a day time trekking, it will be quite a depressing sight to climb....climb and climb and climb...... that took us another hour. there is where we stop before entering Gua Kambing. Contrary to KFC, Gua Kambing is my favorite trail, it is the starting of all the rock and rope climbing. Climbing thru Gua Kambing and we reach Botak Hill (about 6:00am)....it is very near to Summit and just another 25mins walk... actually now we are a bit too early for sun rise and it seem to us that the mist is too thick. AFter the rest, we proceed to SUmmit. Reached there about 6:30am. Everyone doesn't seems to be that excited though...maybe i'm wrong... anyway, finally!.....it is super duper cold up here...with the thick mist and strong wind, it is totally no fun at all. some of the members didn't bring their jumper..and fortunately i brought my sleeping bag and boncho along...so they can share it. The day is getting brighter but not much sight of the sun. Mist still as thick and we are quite "frozen" now...hehe, not that serious....anyway, at this point of time, our guide is quite pale looking already. Mervyn hinted me to move on and i turn around to tell our guide that we are leaving shortly. so, no sun rise for this trip. But to think about the walking in the dark is quite exciting and fun...doesn't feel as tired of walking during day time. Maybe becoz we only able to think of the step by step trekking and not seeing the tough trail ahead of us...Alright, we move on to leave the super duper cold summit.....Remark: with many negative remark of the members fitness, i would like to comment that they have been showing lots of endurance and show no sign of tireness. BRavo! Anyway, it was a tedious trip to go down to Paradise and it took us another 3 hrs long descend... Back to Paradise, we starts to prepare our lunch and then ppl like me took a long nap and when wake up the dinner is ready....once again thanks to Karen for cooking for the officers. evening we had a simple campfire gathering with singing, games, sketch and sharing....very fun and we had a great time being together. Then the "kids" took a early rest and officers had little bit more chatting and had our night supper. Somehow we decided to go to the river to wash our mug and surprise surprise....we saw a few terrapin roaming around the water and one of it trying to catch some fishes for supper.....and goodness! we saw the BIG MAMA terrapin...really huge lo.... hehe....nice adventure indeed...
is my sleepy face at 1am in the morning...
