Taman Negara! =)


The familia! *5 people are missing* other than that its complete :)*
 Heyyyyyy! I just got back from Pahang today evening. Went to Taman Negara :) After such long time ,i actually went on a holiday to a place in my own country n not flying off sumwhere. LOL. We left KL on friday morning at 9 and it took us 5 hours to reach there. The bus we chattered was a really good bus but some problem came up that the bus had to be replaced by some other bus and that bus was awful! The AC wasnt working and it was like some burning oven in the bus. Due to the heat ,no one was active and no games and no fun was in the bus. All sat quietly and eventually slept off. We reached Taman Negara at around 2 and checked into WoodLand Resort. Its an okayy hotel. The food there is TERRIBLE! Maggie cup had been the best! The wifi there ,thank god its okay la eventho there wasnt many bars. We survived. after checking in ,all knocked out in the room. We were all really sleepy. We were then dressed up by 5 and left the hotel for early dinner. We walked to the jeti nearby....There had floating restaurants ,it was funny that all was halfway sinking hahahahahah, We had early dinner bcoz we were going for our night jungle trekking at 8.30....Dinner ended just on time. While having dinner ,it started to rain. I was wearing shorts and OMG it was COLLLDDDD. I somehow got thru that. We then took at boat from the mainland to the island where we were going to start trekking. We started walking in and just as we started we saw a deer walking across us :) it was so cute.....Later on ,the guide took us into the forest where we saw a Tapir ,an animal believed to be endangered i think.It was just lying there and eating and sleeping... We started trekking into the jungle ,we were told not to touch anything as the villagers believe in "Animisme" where everything has got something inside. So yeah ,we avoided ourselves from touching the leaves and trees and ect. The walk was pretty scary as it was dark. We could hear nothing but the water and the wind blowing the branches above our heads. We held hands and walked thru for an hour and a half. Then it was almost 12 that we reached the boat. We took the boat and went back to the mainland. and walked back to the hotel. All took their shower and went to bed.

The next day ,we woke up at 7 coz breakfast ended at 9. Our plans for that saturday was canopy walking and water rafting as well as visiting the "Orang Asli" village.We went to the place where we were suppose to canopy walk. There we were wearing slippers and stuff and there we saw that everyone said "Beware of the leeches". The first person to kena was Ramesh Sitepa ,he had a leech sucking his foot for a while...It was fat! Then later on Arvind had it on his feet. I got scared and went up to the counter and stood next to it. My dad started teasing LOL...Then we started the walk ,It was fun and then we could hear the tiger from the jungle but we couldnt spot it :(...After trekking down ,we got to our boat where we'll be heading to the orang asli village ,the journey to the village was WET! we were water rafting ,the waves in the river was just so strong ,the current washed Avinneash's slippers away and also my uncle's watch LOL....We were all soaking wet! The orang asli village looked like a village :) The people there had that "afro" hair ,they were so cute but they were all shy and were speaking their language as soon as they saw us walking in wet...We sat in some pondok to dry off and relax a little ,Then they showed us they way to start a fire using wood and bamboo strips of sumthing la. It was so cool! The man started the fire within a minute...Then we tried the "Sumpit" its some blowing thing which they use for hunting. Its made of bamboo and the bullets are like "lidi" its really sharp. They sharpen them by using "Sandpaper Leaf". It is said that the sandpaper leaf can also be used to shine the nails hahahaa so useful! After that ,we were all lining up to use the sumpit when suddenly a bee came and gave me a "KISS" on my chin! It stung me and OUCHHHH it was damnnn painful! My face became red and it strted to swell. A lump was on my chin and ewww it looked horrible. I waas crying as usual and thinking that it was all karma. We then took the boat back to the mainland and went back to the hotel.

There at the hotel ,all took their showers and slept for an hour. We had tea in Atteh shanti's room and talks there too. Later on ,we din have plans to go out of the hotel ,we went to the lobby and ordered food which was terrible! then we started the games that was prepared by Big atteh.. The games were fun! Children had a best drawing competition ,mother's had to use their creative skills on an orange ,dad's had to do origami and in the end ,we played charades till 1 in the morning and when the lights went off ,we distributed the gifts and continued to play cards in amuma's rooom. It was sooo fun and we ended the night at 2. 
The next day ,we had breakfast like normal ,and took our time with things as the bus was coming at 11.30. At 10 ,we walked to some souvinier shop....The things there were hopeless! All so expensive. I couldnt get my friends anything because there was nothing but clothes. Mum got me a t-shirt. And then we walked to the hotel and packed our stuff. The bus came and we bussed our way out of Taman Negara. The bus joourney back took us 7 hours! It was moving slow and stopping all the time as well ,The traffic in KL was normal so it took long. We reached kepong at 7 ,drove back to seremban and reached home by 8. Went for dinner at Aunty latha's hse ,had a fun conversation and came back home and into bed! 

It was a fun holiday :)
