Was so rush for this trip...just came back from SG bout 48 hours ago...then here I am, ready packed n ready to go. Shopping and packing was bit of a last minute stuff for me...but after getting used to it for so many times d....everything is done in just a couple of hours.
Went to Richard's (RT) house ard 10.30pm, and Chin Yin was already there. She and RT is still doing some last minute packing. Finally kau tim all the packing n stuffs bout 11pm....then go nap liao....12.30am going out for yum cha n then meet up the rest of the convoy at 2am. Reach Raub and meet up with Eric ard 4am. After this....its all the way to Merapoh. I took over the driving from Richard from this point onwards. Chin Yin is sleeping like a pig at the rear seat.....this gal really can sleep.
Reach Merapoh very early...ard 6am. We took a short nap before having breakfast at the stalls ard 7am. Ard 8am...we made our way to the Perhilitan office to get the registration done. Since there are so many of us...we occupy almost the whole outside area to empty everything from our bag to be checked.
Emptiying our backpacks to be checked.
Perhilitan officials checking everything we are bringing up the mountain.
Finally everything is done, the checking, the paperwork, the money....and we are all set to jln. Took the 4X4 ride to the startin place at Kuala Juram. Took a big group photo...and we are off into the jungle at 10.50am.
Everyone masuk into the 4X4 and get ready to masuk hutan.
Not really fit this year....mainly becoz I have stop actively involved in sports for the past 3 months. Really suffer in Tahan...especially when try to match up with the pace I had last year. Took almost 1 hour to complete the 5km section from Kuala Juran to Kuala Luis.....which I did in 45 mins only last year. This stretch got some river crossing parts...which is always fun and full of actions.
River crossing...hehehe...fun fun.
Reached Camp Kor ard 2pm......a little late than expected. Took our cold and relaxing bath here n rested for ard 30mins before continuing the last 6kms to Kubang camp site. Waited till Deon and Chu San arrived...then found out that Shen is not doin well and vomitted a few times along the way. I realize then that few of us will not make it to Kubang camp site tonite...haihzzzz...feel a bit disappointed.
On the way to Kubang campsite.
Finially reached Kubang camp site ard 5pm. Was raining just before we arrive....and the place is covered with thick mist......cold. I quickly setup my flysheet and ground sheet....and rested under the flysheet. The last to arrive are Deon And Chu San....around 8pm. Basically everyone made it safely. Yew Hong looks so tired.....hehehe...mentally n physically exhausted.
Uncle look so tired, taking a short break.
Yew Hong so exhausted.....hehehehe.
Overall not much actions in the 1st day....everything went smoothly despite having to execute plan B...which is to split the group on separate campsites becoz some were very slow. The 1st timers seems to enjoy it so far.....and the old timers are all lepaking saja.
Time to nap....good nite.
