Kuala Lipis Day 1

And so, the 4th of July started with the SAC-ians gathering in TBS at 6am.

We even had visitors!
The very lively Sand Dragon. :D

Peanut. Teddy. Lalat.

 
After having everyone there, the drivers ; Wolf, Lalat, Nemo and Durian started their journey.

We stopped by somewhere in Gombak(if I’m not wrong) to wait for Banana.

Laki-laki SAC yang macho sekali.

Durian

I had to sepia it. They look perfectly kampung enough for a sepia picture.

As a result of too much waiting, members start finding ways to entertain themselves.

From Pepsi Cola to thumb fighting, we had it all.

 And of course, some took the traditional way of killing time.

 Nottie. Pig. Coffee.

Papaya. <3

Upon reaching, we met our RM180 per day guides.
Then had a/two heavenly bowl of Hakka Mee for brunch.

Can you hear the Hallelujah chorus?

I know he can.

Finally, we drove off to the entrance of the Kenong Rimba Park.
Since only 4 wheel drives can enter the jungle, the rest of the drivers had to park their car at the town.
And so, the waiting begins again.

Meditation to release the stress of waiting.

Once all the drivers were back to the entrance of the jungle, we started our journey in the jungle.

And for these people, it’s the best part of the whole trip.

Subsequently,we arrived at the campsite.
Because our guides were having their lunch,
we had to wait once more. (smiles sarcastically)

This time, we had the hammock to entertain us.

It was so fun, people would literally kill to have it.

Eventually, we manage to kick start with the real activities.
We were off to the first cave known as Gua Buta.

I heart Sand Dragon. Heh.

This is the mini slide in the cave that has a camerawoman to take your picture on your cue.

 The oh-so-inquisitive Sand Dragon.

It was the longest cave among the three, and I would say the most interesting as well.
It was the only one that required climbing,crawling and such.

Too bad for Coconut who had to struggle to crawl through narrow holes.
His long legs finally had a disadvantage to it.

In Gua Buta, we also spotted this injured bat that was trying so hard to avoid Peanut who was trying to snap a close up picture of it.

Then, it is off to the second cave, known as Gua Harimau.

Thank you, Durian, for being a temporary DD.
My face can finally appear in the pictures. :D

I presume it’s called Gua Harimau due to that harimau like rocks that were in the cave.
In this cave, we spotted an injured frog instead.

Gua Harimau was then followed by this…I-dont-know-whether-its-considered-a-cave-or-not place.
We just climbed up this “cave” then we climbed down.
No injured animals this time.

This is the one of the only clear picture I have of this “cave” because somehow my camera just couldn’t take a decent one.
Thank you, Nemo. DSLR never fails. :D

Next was Gua Hijau.
No pictures were taken in this cave because we were there to look at the gazillion bats living there.
So, any source of light was prohibited.

However, Nemo manage to take a picture of the outside of the cave.

That marks the end of our cave visits and from there, we headed back to the campsite.

Just before we arrive back to our campsite.

Next on the agenda, was lunch(although it was 5pm) and setting up the tents.

All these setting up was exempted for people who went Genting, of course.

 Ta da!

Members were given time to settle down and refresh themselves.
Then came the most anticipated activity,
STEAMBOAT!

It was raining cats and dogs, so we had it in a small shack near the campsite.

Our future chefs.

As for the rest, who couldn’t exactly do anything;-

 
We had sausage, mushroom, crabstick, slightly rotten fishball, eggs, rotten egg, yee mee and more for dinner.

The spaghetti that saved the day!

 And the delicious spaghetti comes from this.

Day 2 of Kuala Lipis will be updated next week. Sorry for the delay!

The pictures on the blog is slightly different than those you can find in Multiply because I edited the pictures.
If you’d like the edited pictures without the watermarks, do ask me(Flowerhorn, in case you don’t know) for it. c:

P.S – Coffee*, I loooove this picture!

P.P.S – Farewell Dinner has been postponed to 18th of July!
