Day 1 (09.02.2005)
I picked up Jaja around 6.30 am and we went straight to Taman Negara, Pahang. We stoped at the R & R, had our Subuh prayer, grab some breakfast and continued our journey. We arrived at Kuala Tembeling jetty around 10am. Hahaha.. our boat was at 2.00pm, so can you guys imagine we had to wait 4 hours more. Bukannya apa, since this is the first time we’re going to Taman Negara, I was afraid that we would got lost. Finally, after 4 hours of boredom, we got into our boat and take off around 2.30 pm. The journey to Kuala Tahan was about 2 ½ hours. It was a very relaxing and serene journey. Took a few pictures, Jaja dah siap terlentok lagi. The weather was hot but the breeze keep us cool. Saw a few wild buffalos, monkeys, birds and wild boars along the water line.
We arrived at Kuala Tahan around 5.00 pm. The hotel staff picked us up and took us to the Rainforest Resort which is not very far from the jetty. After dinner, we went for a night walk in the jungle. The guide, which I cannot remember his named but is called Atan took us across the river and we walked at the edge of the jungle. We saw insects and birds, scorpions, spiders and a snake. Atan told us that we picked the wrong time to come to Taman Negara as it was Chinese New Year and the place was full of people so the chances for us to see the animals were slim.
Day 2 (10.02.2005)
The next day, after breakfast, we went trekking to Bukit Terasek. It was not so high or difficult but since both of us were out of conditions (pancitt), slow jugak laa. :D. Atan just smiled at us (tensen tul.. siap gelakkan kitorang lagi). We were sweating like hell!!! After that we went to the canopy walk.
We waited for 2 hours because there were just too many people there. The canopy walk got 9 checkpoints and you spent about ½ hour up there. The highest canopy is about 45 metres above the ground. Makk aiii.. tingginyerrr. Aku dah la takut tempat2 tinggi nih. Tapi apa pun sebabkan aku dah sampai, aku nak naik jugakkk!!!! Yearghhh!!! Finally, it was our turn to go on the canopy walkway, the distance between you and the person in front of you is 5 metres but at the highest walkway, the distance is 10 metres. Si Atan tu siap tanyaaku gayat ker?? Of course la gayat. Dia siap suruh aku tutup mata lagi sambil gelak2 la. Apa daa…!!! Lagi la aku takut kalau tutup mata. After ½ hour of sweat (peluh gayat) and constant mocking from Jaja, I finally made it to the end of walkway. Finally, fear is not a factor for me anymore. Hahahaha. Atan was waiting for us and he asked me wether I closed my eyes or not. Hampehh!! Ngutuk aku ler tu.. While we were waiting for the boat to come and get us across the river, Atan asked us how much weight did we lost today. Ada la dalam 2 kila, Jaja la tukang menjawab..hehehe, pas tu ngan macho dan selamber badak dia cakap tak per jap lagi pas makan naik lak 3 kilo.. Hampess!!
We had our lunch at one of the floating restaurant, ok la.. biasa saja. Petang around 5.00pm, we went for the rapid shooting. Tak der apa pun cuma naik boat melawan arus tapi basah la jugak, patut la si Atan tu senyum jer bila aku pilih untuk duduk kat tengah boat, rupa-rupanya kalau duduk kat tengah ngan belakang bot memang basah gila.. cian Jaja, basah lencun dia kat belakang aku. Hahahaha. Anyway, aku ngan Jaja tak mandi pun. Aku memang tak suka mandi sungai atau laut, kalau mandi kat swimming pool ok ler. Lebih kurang kul 6.45 cenggitu, kitoran pun bertolak balik ker resort.
Malam plak lepas dinner dah tak der apa2 aktiviti, punya la boring giler. So aku ngan Jaja pegi ke jetty sebab kat situ ada floating restaurants ngan souvenir shops. Beli T-Shirt jer pas tu minum2 kat restaurant kat situ. Niat di hati nak carik si Atan tu tapi time kitorang on the way ker jeti, selisih ngan dia kat tengah jalan ke resort. Tak der la, kalau jumpa dia boleh la nyembang dan tanya pengalaman dia jadik guide. Mesti banyak citer punyalah esp citer hantu. Aku ni penakut tapi suka dengar kalau orang crita benda-benda tu. Aku dah siap bawak torchlight dah pun, maklumla mana la tau kena balik jalan kaki dari jeti ker resort. Baru je jalan kaki separuh jalan, terjumpak mamat bawak van, dia suruh kitorang tunggu nanti dia hantar balik ke resort. On the way balik ke resort, kat tengah jalan selisih lagi ngan si Atan tu.. hampeh tul. Jadik tak der ler org nak bercerita ngan kitorang, so, lepak jer la kat dalam bilik.
Day 3 (11.03.2005)
After breakfast, we went to the jetty and boarded the boat back to Kuala Tembeling around 9.30am.
We went to Kuantan and spend the night at Nad’s house. Uiii.. perut dia makin besar (dah pregnant kan..). kembar lagi tapi bila scan tak nampak la pulak boy atau girl. Hehehe, husband dia masak asam pedas ikan.. terrer gak mamat tu masak. Anyway, pegi Kuantan Parade, lepak kat Starbuck.. teringat aku ngan Nad dulu (zaman dia bujang la) suka melepak kat Starbuck or Coffee Bean. Zaman dulu la..
