Back to Nature Endau Rompin I

Hi to whoever read my blog....

My second trip for this year so much challenging, not really tired though and definitely having fun. ENdau Rompin camping trip 4d3n was our activity. We had several weeks kind of training at Bukit Gasing....jogs and swimming as much as possible just to make sure we are all up to it. (Believe me, it was so tough....at least for me)
Thinking of everyone will get exhausted after the trip, so we decided to take a train ride KL-Kluang-KL.

29th May....(Wed)
Senandung malam train at 9.30pm. We meet up at KL sentral at 8.30pm(I told everybody the train at 9pm just to make sure everybody arrive on time...)

this is the bunk option. RM36 for lower beth,RM31 for upper. We took out 3 lower, 3 upper... Even in train, funny things begins..Well, I havent ride a train since I was 16 years old (and I am now 31 years old),just imagine how jakun I can be..hahahahahh...1st time naik Bunk pulak tu..
the "bunkface"

When we board into a train....there was an automatic door to go to the cabin...Nizam first enter followed by Ome, no problem. Me the third follow...and the door close. try to figure out how to open ,tak dapat jugak and entah mcm mana, the door open. so, we enter one by one and beg Dilla pulak tersepit....at last , all manage to get into cabin safely.(still do not know how the door work)

not finish only there...Mia n Dilla went to canteen to have dinner. On the way back to cabin...the train was stopped at one of the station to pick up passenger. So , these two ladies brilliantly decided to go out side....walk along the train and get back to our coach. Suddenly, the coach door cannot open and the train started moving....panic attack, both run as fast as they could to other coach...lucky enough to get back into the train.

Now..the automatic door....it was open when they arrived.The moment Dilla enter it, its close and Dilla tersepit in between...Mia,again panic..do what ever she can and finally manage to open it......then we really try to figure out how this door works...where's the sensor. We finally found out. The door sensor is at the top of ur head. u have to stand at the mark on the floor and the sensor will sense u there thus the door open. The ONLY problem is that, u have to be tall enough for the sensor to sense and being 4 cute ladies...the sensor fail to sense our present. we actually have to raise up our hand to be near to the sensor...then the door open......

Then we all sleep on our journey to Kluang.....

30th May...(Thurs)
Arrive Kluang Station at 4.00am..
The pick up will only come the earliest is 9.30am. So basically we have to be creative enough to waste 5.5 hours...one of the option, of course...continue sleeping...
Can u see those shoes..I was lay down and the cameraman was behind me....

At about 6am, we heard AZAN...ohh dah subuh ni. So all wakes up, siap2 apa yg patut and heading to one of the coffee shop so called for b/fast and hang out for another 3 hours. As Kluang kopitiam being so famous, we cant wait to have b/fast at the original Kluang station Kopitiam...unfortunately of all days we have in a week..they close on Thursday. No choice, pergilah ke warung2 berdekatan...

Went to this warung Ujang...obviously we are the 1st customer. orderlah roti canai, nasi lemak,air sorang segelas....chatting...gelak2..excited ni nak masuk hutan. Time flies, we order more drinks tapi kita tak order serentak cos, yelah we are so used of budaya mamak yang u boleh order bila2 masa je kan.Sekali abang amik order ni hangin pasal we all kejap2 order. Dia siap sound lepas ni tak de ek pasal dia sibuk...(I cannot relate his extremely busy tu pasal in KL if we are busy mmg busy lah kan...I tgk dia mcm boleh je managed. And Abang ni buat lawak yg we all tak faham and we just smile and ignore) so , Nizam pun kata, tahap busy sini and KL mmg jauh berbeza.....;-) ...tapi Air limau ais the best...

At 9.30am almost sharp, our picj up arrived....finally, we get into this 4wd van and off to Endau Rompin (Kg Peta). For the first 30 min, the road all ok, smooth, still town area. Then the driver name Kevin or Calvin...stop at Shell Kahang. "Sapa nak pergi toilet, pergi skrg ye....another 1.5hours takde toilet.."
continue our journey from Kahang and yes..its bumpy road....kelapa sawit kiri kanan...tanah merah berlubang2...mmg boleh terkencing if tak ke toilet tadi. but still me and Dilla boleh je lelap kjp....

Then after almost 2 hours bumpy rides...we arrived Kg Peta. Thats where the real trip is all about. We welcome by numbers of dogs but behave...the owner of the house(org asli) went to very basic toilet(belasah jelah and this is when wet tissue become valueable item). Had our first lunch. At first, mmg mcm tak lalu, tgk surroundings and all but we really dont care and mentally ready for the worst...boleh je makan lunch tu dgn jaya nye....
Done Lunch....ready to start GENG PENGEMBARAAN. yang baju hitam tu our guide..Eddy nama nye...tgh pakai kasut tu Ubai/cameraman ..tu pasal gambar dia kurang.
