Yea yea...I knew everyone missed me and thought I gave up for bloging since one week I didn't update anything in my blog. I wanted to blog once right before the night I went to Taman Negara but too many thing happened and lost my mood to blog but just worry about the trip. This trip was a bit tough and full with obstacle/accident/delay. Eddie can't make it to the trip one day before the trip (lucky we found one replacement at the last minute and covered Eddie cost). Yin Yee's train was delayed 3 hours and reach KL very late, after that stupid Kuan take a wrong turn at Serdang and end up eating dinner at Ampang (From Cyber Jaya, 40km). Honestly my mood was disturb at that night because a lot of changing went on, and I hate last minute changes... well, letz move on to DAY 1 !! (this blog is so damn long...so...bear with it :P )
The team and On The Way (Day 1)
Who are the people I went with? Lets introduce the team! They are... William(billy loh), Leongi(see his blog for details of the trip :P), Yin Yee (The only one Non-MMU, Min Bee's Segamat friend), Min Bee(the one start and make the trip happen *Salute*), Josh (our dear photographer), Kuan (?), Yan Hui(Min Bee's neighbour who did us big favour to replace Eddie), Miss Yoon (My Korean Lecturer!!! Ya! She was there with us :P).
Day 1 was a very tough day. At the early of the morning, everyone woke up damn early and preparing for the trip (I just caught 2 hours sleep). Due to chaging of plan, 4 of us need to take ERL to go KL, while the rest follow William's dad's car (Thank Billy's Dad :) ). The trip start at Taking bus at Mutiara Hotel in KL city. Well, bad thing happened there, our agent forgot to book bus seats for us! 8 of us didn't reserve a place on the bus, we were so worry and wondering is it we have to gave up the entire trip because of the mistake of stupid agent! Thanks god there are 8 absence to the bus and 8 of us manage to get on the bus (While the bus delayed half hour cause of us).
The bus trip took 3 hours to fetch us to Kuala Tembiling, Pahang. Kuala Tembeling is one of the entrance to Taman Negara (Taman Negara is so large which cover 3 state and have another 2 entrance at Terrenganu and Kelantan). At there, we took a lunch at the very friendly boss shop. And the lunch is the 1st event which all of us gather together and know each other (Miss Yoon, Yan Hui and Yin Yee are new people to the group anyway). Then we took the first group photo (up there).
We are not there yet. Another 3 hours of boat trip need to enjoy before we step my foot to our place of staying. The boat is 2 people sit one row and a long boat (River Boat) and it was more stable than I expected where me and leongi can play Poker on it (And I won RM0.50!!). The boat "sail?" up to the river and keep going going going. The scene beside us was beutiful at first but it getting boring as you sit at the same place and see the same greeny tree and water for 3 hours. (Pic : Me and Leongi was split up with the group and they sat at the back).Nusa Campsite
3 hours past and we reach our staying place! All of us were so excited. Nusa Campsite is a good place to stay, natural feel, have a nice scene of river and rocks, link to trails into the jungle and friendly crews. Nusa Campsite is a bad place to stay too, Simple room ( 4 double decker bed all fit into a room and it was hot like hell as we enter it), bad food (not delicious, always insufficient food and tea which is not tea.) (Pic : Left : everyone going to hostel, it always need to cross the hanging bridge which someone complain it is so shaky. but no more after 2nd day canopy walk) (Pic : Right : The hot room force us to come out and take some fresh air, the house at the back was our hostel, i mean one of the room there.)
Before the dinner, we plan to explore the camp a
nd we walked on the only jungle trail at that camp. We just walk slowly, enjoying, chit chating and get ourself adapt the jungle. The 1st part of the trail was a road for four wheel car to pass and it is wide and easy. I thought all the path we going to jungle tracking are going to be like this (easy) but lucky I was wrong :p ). We wanna find the path to water fall and planning to adventure to it at the next morning at the camp. We stop at the junction which point to several place and plan our morning there, it seem everyone of us were exciting for the place and wanted to play as much as we can.Night Walk and Game of Ourselve
There nothing to tell about the dinner(it's not nice). But a funny thing happen after the dinner. Me,
Josh, Miss Yoon and William were standing and talking something at the restaurant, then suddenly Ms Yoon scared by something on the floor and run behind us. I can't see what is that at first and thought it is either a dog or lizard. but...a porcupine turn out!!! It walking freely and smelling here and there. Everyone around were stunned and get exciting of it. Some worker gave it a plate of...vegetables and the cutely porcupine enjoy the dinner by skiping everyone human who stand around it and shooting picture. It is so cute! Too bad I cannot hug it, or even touch it.Here come our 1st event in Taman Negara - Night Walk. We had a very nice guide (ranger) who named Ajax. He brought us into the jungle at the dark night and search for anilmals and insects. It is a full moon night (the day after chinese calender july 14th...), Ajax said it is the worst day to find insects and animals. He manage to show us some insects (Spider, Scorpion, Stick Insect,
Fire Fly), frogs, and luminous fungus. Ajax is a very skillful ranger, He can spot very very small spider (around 2 cm big) at the range of 5 meter away using tourchlight. He taught us the way to hold the torchlight and searching for growing eye of insect or animal to spot them. He told us some knowlegde of insects and fungus, thanks him we learnt a lot on that night and everyone enjoy the walk.*Hold On* Special announcement, our first victim of Leech... Ms Yoon! A leech was stick to her leg and enjoying Korean Blood when all of us checking ourself at our room. She'd scare because she don't know about leech ( our bad for this, short of information). We used some Leech repellent from Yin Yee to chase away the leech, but too bad the wound not heal and keep bleeding (bit by bit lah). Pity Ms Yoon :P
After everyone's bath time, we start to play our own stupid game :P. We brought some junk food and Min Mei's sparking juice to the restaurant which facing river to have our happy hour. There was just us, yelling, playing, whatever no one will care :P. I was the one who keep come out with games, so, we just played what I've played at my previous trip. Alot of them, "pair Card calling name", "Thieve and police (use hand purse)", "Heart Attack", "Pick Turtle". Sure, a lot of punishment going on :P. There are no crazy game at the 1st night such as "Truth or Dare" and Kuan's all time favourite "King's game". 
We had a lot of fun playing those stupid gameIt's happy that Ms Yoon did enjoy the game with us. Frankly she is the one we worry the most because habit of talking chinese hard to change and always make she felt left out when all of us talking chinese. But I think the group was trying so hard to talk english lah :P. She quite a quiet people, or may be she not so familiar with us, not so sure. Josh did talked a lot to her ( me too but not so much). She did enjoy the night walk and game lah, and everyone did, from the smiling and happy mood of everyone :)
Everyone went to bed at around 2a.m. While some of us fail to sleep in this kind of exciting holiday and group together to talk ghost story. Actually just Ms Yoon and Josh were slept sweetly and the rest gather at Min Mei and Yin Yee bed to share "ghost story". Min Mei not a good ghost story teller since she will laugh at the middle of telling (who wanna laugh while hearing ghost story :P ). Yan Hui talked a lot...but... too long and draggy which successfully put everyone to sleepy mood. William was scare and quiet hidding in the corner, wuahahah.
Well....what a long post, omg, just day one. Day 2 is the most important day and happening day, will post it as I gathered more picture and more time. I love this trip, and I believe all of us love it :)
