Given a second chance! =) Part 2

After shooting a few pictures at the hill top, we headed to the "Cave of Ears" (Gua Telinga) more like a cave of bat crap to me.. LOL.. The smell was absolutely horrible even from outside! Limpard was in a dilemma whether he should enter the cave since he had a doubtful ankle.. But in the end! He decided to join in the fun.. ( TOUCHING BAT CRAPS! ) The cave exploration was full of excitement with the climax at the end when our Hokkien Clan's president, Elwin Gwee, had a muscle pull (chou jin)!! hahahaha.. It was so funny because everyone else was stucked behind him when he couldn't move forward.. In the end, with his strong determination, he managed to move on.. SEMANGAT GOTBIRD! way to go president! The cave exploration was definitely a must go for everyone! ahha.. Gua Tempurung is better thou.. in my opinion.. haha


Next, we went to the upstream of the river to wash off all the bat craps and soak in the supercooling upstream water.. It was really cool and fun.. haha.. Then, we headed back to our "hotel", took a shower, and went for dinner. Everyone was kinda exhausted and we decided to stay in the room and start playing games and get drunk.. We played a Killer game with cards with so many funny moments which I won't be able to cover in this post.. haha.. I guess the most memorable moment was when YCC was accused as a killer and he explained himself that his dad sells Pork Noodle and his mom sells Noodles.. //That was superlame and totally out of the context of the game... well.. he was named by others as DDLG.. hahahaha =P


On the next morning, we head off to a place where we jungle tracked to a some kind of waterfall thingy and took some pictures there. We also managed to get ourselves wet in one of the shallow pools.. lead by YCC.. The water was rather yellowish, But it didn't matter much as we were all soaked.. After that we checked out from our "hotel" and began our journeyyyyyyy home...... Owh.. Before the journey, we went to a Chinese Air conditioned restaurant for lunch.. THE food there was simply awesome!!


So, we began our long journey home.. Our car was driven by China Apek and Yee kuan drove his car. Everything was going smoothly as me and YCC both fell asleep in the car after the awesome meal. Chairmaine was the only one awake keeping China Apek company.. It was after about half an hour drive.... when I was suddenly awaken by this loud shout of China Apek.

China Apek: Why is the car coming like that!!!?!!! What is he/she doing!!!??? ( in Mandarin )
//It was as loud as a lion's roar..

The next moment, when i was barely awake (eyes half opened), I saw a White Nissan Sunny, which looked rather old..
COMING STRAIGHT AT US!!!!!!

Within a blink of an eye.. I am not really sure what happened, but was praying in my heart that please let me and my friends all be safe and alive.. And I started to feel the swelling of my lips and also saw the deep cut on my knee.. The only taste that I had in my mouth was the iron taste of BLOOD. From that moment, I knew it was a terrible, horrible accident. I looked to my side to check on the driver, china Apek and sighted his head to be bleeding.. But it wasn't a deep cut.. WIthin seconds, YCC and China Apek started arguing and China Apek was apologizing towards what he did over and over again... Moreover, he kept repeating that it was not his fault..
//We all knew it was not his fault... It was no one's fault as no one would like something like this to happen..
The next moment.. I heard ppl from outside shouting to get out of the car and I started trying opening the door.. After like 3 trials.. I thought.. OMGOSH.. we are trapped.. THis is it for me.. Until i realized that the door was locked.. =.= I pulled up the door lock and someone opened the door and got us to a lil pondok at the roadside.. I was still wondering if all these that just happened was a dream until china apek suddenly laid his head on my shoulder saying that he felt really dizzy.. and so I just let him.. After a while.. He went unconscious for a few seconds where he almost fell to the ground.. Someone shouted at me to help him out and I finally woke up and was pretty sure that these are all happening!! OMGosh..


After about 5 minutes of waiting in the pondok, a kind Malay man came to us and offer us a ride to the Clinic which is located in Mendakap.. We hopped into his SLK and he drove as fast as he could to the Clinic! //A thousand thank you to you! =)


Okay.. Im all lazy now.. will continue again soon.. LOL...

Given a second chance! =)

On the 31st of May, I was back from the US for just about a week and was already heading towards my first trip in Malaysia as planned by our trip organizer, YCC. 8 of us agreed to head to Taman Negara, a national reserved park in Malaysia. Two cars were needed for the trip as we decided to drive up to Jerantut where the jetty to Taman Negara is. So it is, 4 in each car, with me, YCC, cheah hun, and Chairmaine in a Proton Wira drove by YCC. Another 4 in a Hyundai Getz drove by Elwin Gwee ( Yee Kuan) , with 3 other passengers: Alex, Matthew ( Chee How ), and Kwan Lim.

// denotes comments in C programming.
// sorry for the boring introduction, but I promised it will get interesting ... Patience! haha..


We started our journey in the early morning, about 5am. A meeting point at the SS15 Mcdonald's. //wootz.. Mcdonald's are now open 24 hours a day, which means obesity to Malaysians! Instead of healthy (questionable) mamak, now Malaysians are given the choice of Mcdonald's. Here, hungry and sleepy people in the early morning like me, grabbed some breakfast from McDs.. Their BIG BREAKFAST isn't as big as the name suggests. Without wasting any time, we hopped into our cars and started our engine and also journey towards
Jerantut. The journey was kinda long and the roads were kinda curvy. Nevertheless, I slept my way throughout the journey until we are about an hour from our destination. //omgosh.. I can't believe I have so much craps to write about.. haha.. Well.. This is the value of a long post after a long period of time.. It shows effort okay? =P


Now, now.. After about 3 hours of driving, we arrived in
Jerantut, a small town in Pahang. We had some DIM SUM and Chinese food at a Hawker center and was told by YCC that it will be our LAST CHINESE MEAL!!! //well, guess he was right.. We had Malay and Western food in Taman Negara. Notice the LAST, it might've really been our last chinese meal for the four of us..



After checking in to our "HOSTELS", //was surprising that they had air conditioner! Thumbs up! We went for jungle tracking up the hills which was really tiring.. //pss... hehehe.. Kwan Lim vomited half way up hill.. awwwwww poor thing.. PROBABLY LACK OF EXERCISE!! ahhhh.. the fonts are all screwed up..
