Selamat Hari Guru

To all my beloved teachers...Happy Teacher's Day.

Besides my lovely parents, Teachers is my best guidance throughout my kids year, adolescent year and graduate year....

During my primary school, My teacher named Mrs Rokiah (Standard 1-3). Very softspoken but garang jugak. I got my denda Rotan as early as standard 2. Balik rumah mmg tak inform parents cos takut kena marah. Thats the beauty of learning at school those days. Kena rotan pun takpe and tak pulak marah teacher. relax je. Why I kena rotan masa standard 2? heheehheeheh...knowing that I am very talkative, I had been rotan due to that as well..hahahhaahah...Mrs Rokiah is explaining something in front of the class and I help my friend to understand what she talking about...so, Mrs Rokiah tot I wasnt pay attention and she Rotan me..Fine, no revenge..;-). I was fav student after all.... ;-D.

Second denda when I was in standard 4. Ni mmg nakal punya pasal lah. I bergendang in my class during end of year exam. hahahahahha...I tot the time was over, then we start chatting (mmg suka bercakap)...singing (it was last paper), I played drum that time. After a while, dah chaos dah ni...Mr Wahab masuk. Semua kena cubit yg kaw-kaw punye....sampai lebam lengan..hahahahahahhha..yet,no revenge Sir..and I was ur best student..always number 1... ;-P

3rd time when I was in standard 6. My class teacher name Pn Rohana Jalil. No kidding, memang tulah nama dia. Garang giler ok tapi baik. She's the best maths teacher I ever have. She will give us maths homework every day without fail. 1 mistake, 5 rotan kat tapak tgn. The most I ever get is 20 rotan..10 left/10 right. Because 4 out of 50 question wrong. Sakit wooo sampai menggigil tgn, nak tulis pun susah. Yet no complain from parents, nak mengadu memang kena marah lagi ada. As a result, our class get 100% A in UPSR for maths. Subject lain, ada lah B.
~Thank you so much teacher Rohana by giving me a very good fundamental of Maths.~

Secondary School pun ada cerita menarik jugak. I kena rotan sekali je masa Form 2. ni pasal tak reti tulis essay BM. Form 3 was the best period. Masa ni ,konon2 mcm dah besar. I categorised myself Nakal at school. Kena marah dgn Guru Disiplin ,Selalu. My name always in Prefect book (my big bro as head prefect will padam my name, Thanks Love). Pernah kena denda jalan Itik from class to Science Lab (the whole class). Selalu kena sound dgn Ustazah and compare me wt my softspoken brother(of course lah I yg jahat), yet I was popular due to my academic n sports achievement. (show off pulak....hahahahahaah)

thanks to my maths teacher (Maths is my fav subject)Pn Sharizan, Pn Mashitah..my geography teacher who called me ADIK, Pn Zalina(tak sure lah pulak)

~ my big bro so popular in school bcos he is very handsome and gentlement and teacher's pet.~

Form 4~5 masuk MRSM,boarding school. My homeroom teacher called Mr Jidin. Sgt baik. Teach Fizik. I have 1 fav teacher kat MRSM. PN Azizah, history Teacher. Dapat A1 ye my history. She was a fav teacher among student, strick but mommy kind of style. Well , u live in hostel, u need mother figure to soften u a bit. It works for me....I miss her..I do. Hope we can meet one find day.
~Thanks so much teacher Azizah for being there for me during my identity/image confuse period~

MARA College Banting. I have fav teacher too. Thanks to Pn Saa'idah who were there all the time. She was my psychology teacher. Yes I took Psychology as a subject. Banyak rahsia I share with her. MOst teachers in Banting so lovely and I miss them. I am still nakal when I was in college. I tolak anak warden sampai jatuh basikal, I throw this little kid bicycle into the big drain(I marah dgn college warden ni cos suka2 je scold me when I was just came back from playing badminton and this warden mmg anti dgn I), kena diri atas kerusi cos tak bawak buku exercise but I did the exercise,kena masuk bilik principle pasal Warden ni Dengki lah jugak,yet principle let me go at the end,keluar curi2 panjat pagar after curfew, kena marah dgn my block Warden K.Ros(she's nice actually and she's the one back me up every time college warden have thing on me) bcos masak maggi dlm block guna rice cooker. So many rules and I became So rebellious I would say.
~Kak Ros and teacher Saa'idah, thanks for everything and all your support during my rebellious time~

University...no more intimate relationship with teachers. everybody treated you as an adult. If u do have close relationship wt lecturer, maybe u have an affair. and thats not right....less rules, i became normal person. No more rebel, concentrate in study, less entertaiment(main bowling pun tak pernah except final year started), tgk movie je lah. clubbing pun tak pergi, apparently my clubbing life started after I got my first paycheck....now dah slow down, dah tua...:-D pergi kelas agama pulak...hahahahah...

Looking back all those memories, I want to thanked all teachers who are responsible taught me to be who I am today. NO REGRETS TEACHERS....I AM A GOOD DAUGHTER,GOOD CITIZEN,GOOD EMPLOYEE,GOOD SISTER, GOOD NIECE AND GOOD FRIEND....soon to be good wife and mummy..insyaallah. ;-D (how soon is soon?)

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY. I LOVE YOU TEACHERS.....

Back to Nature Endau Rompin III

The 3rd day of Endau trip...Everybody sleeps well? nah, not really..mcm seram jugak kat hutan ni. What did we do on 3rd day....oh yes,Kind of relaxing day, going to trek back to Kuala Jasin after lunch,observing ppl who get ready to torture themselves on Buaya Sangkut hiking.....BUt first, dissamble our tent, packing up all stuff, and have a morning shower at Upih Guling.Upih Guling not that far from campsite. take only 10-15 min and we have to cross one river. Cetek je but the current strong jugak for shallow river. I was thinking not to swim this time cos i dont wanna get wet and this is the pieces I will wear for journet back to Kuala Jasin.

Not much to tell along the route to Upih Guling. Just small chit chat btwn gang, the pacat still there, and we reach a stream which believe to have kind of medicine impact for someone who drink it. Me and Mia just wash our face hoping that our face will be berseri2...hahahahahah..

Look at Ubai face berseri2 just before step into stream. Me and Mia test the water and hopefully no jerawat tumbuh afterwards....

After few minutes, we arrive UPIH GULING WATERFALL.

I have mention at the beginning I dont want to swim this time. Thought that I had enough waterfall...but hey, look at the pool and water..so inviting,irresistable....

So..i jump into it..yohoooo...the rock so slippery and I actually tergelincir ..sakit woo..Mia as usual will look for pelampung. Knowing Mia, she will definitely go for it ....she will not let us left her behind in this kind of activity

Mia the MIkel. Semua org kena jaga dia. We rotate to hold the tali just to make sure she didnt move freely with current. Me and Ubai at last malas nak pegang tali tu and leave her in the pool..(there is private pool up there and we actually climb the slippery rock to be there. Its consists of 1 big pool, one small pool divided by short tunnel. nice place to be...)

here's the chronology of how I struggle to get out from the water. MIa dgn berbesar hati nak tolong but I was afraid if I grab her hand, and she slip off into water, cannot swim...who going to save her...dah jadi hal lain pulak.

THen she handed me the rope.....Nizam came to help and Ubai still struggling himself to be nearer....

tot that the guy going to help..but..hmmmm just laugh....but seriously it was so funny and I felt so hopeless. After gain several bruises on my knee and leg..I get myself up. mmg melutut,tertiarap semua gaya ada just to get up there. Anyway, thanks to Mia yg nak jugak membantu and NIzam and Ubai for being there....Just in case I terslip ke kan..ada jugak yg nampak. (tayang body je kwn2 lelaki I ni..heheheheh)

Happy, at last dapat jugak sampai atas tu. Si Ubai ni, masa tulah nak lalu..siap senyum pulak tu.

Nizam tried to slide but its not slippery enough. So he actually jump into the pool. this is the pool I talk about earlier. Since camera with Ome, so we cannot capture the view of the private pool.

I decided to free fall.
















Left : 4 of us in the pool..mia push me with the pelampung
Right : Mia going to cross the big pool. Budak kecik tu pun tak pakai pelampung. Nizam dgn sabar pegang tali .....
After all this action, we head back to the campsite. have Lunch..the best ever because we had sambal belacan and ikan masin..what a combination...sooooo goood...mcm biasa, Tambah nasi lah kan. I trek back to Kuala Jasin with that wet clothes. Dont bother to change since everything has being pack up and it will be sweat a lot anyway plus 2 rivers to be cross as well.
Our journey back to Kuala jasin turn out very fast. Seems every body cant wait to leave the place and back to modernisation. We enjoy the peace, silence but not too long. Well, we are an urban kiddo...heheheheheh..















Arrive Kuala Jasin canteen..hehehehehehehh...on right, Ome tidur. ke tu.lahhhh. Nizam happily play org asli game.

There u go. After had couple of drink, relax a bit, time to clean our campsite. There's actually the reason why we have to clean up the leaves. A group of giant ant live in between the leaves,therefore we need to get rid of the leaves in order to get rid of the ants....When I said giant,it is really a giant ant and I get bite...ooouuch..it hurt.. ;-(

Our tent is ready. Endau Rompin has so many waterfall from the big one till the smallest we should called stream.





We had our evening pre shower at one of this stream. Just lepak there, play around till we ready to have real shower at public toilet.
Dinner will be ready by 8pm. Then we will be going for night jungle trekking to view any active animal in the woods in the dark.
Meanwhile waiting for dinner to be ready, we had a nice rest in out tent. Nizam, doesnt want to be left out as Ubai nowhere to be seen, join us in our tent. We talked about WAX, talked about girl stuff considering Nizam as one of our girl friend...hahhahaahahha...Dila, elegantly set up her own beauty salon outside. Touch up her face, kemaskan eyebrow,menicure, pedicure semua complete. Thats a circle of fren I have and they are just being themselves...honest, sincere...

the view from inside the tent. Thats where Dila set up her beauty parlor.

Remember I mention earlier we going to have night walk. So we did. Everybody seems scared and so quiet while entering the jungle. Me and Dila notice a ring on the ground but dont dare to take. Mia, I think scared moment makes her so stress become so garang and nak marah semua org including the other guide, Pak Seman. At one point in the mid of the jungle, Eddy ask us to stop and shut off the light. So dark of course, I recite every surah I can remember correctly non stop. I try to look around to see any animal but really hope I didnt see anyting I dont want to see.

Eddy taught us how to survive in darkness of the jungle, how to look for light, which plant can help us to see and so on and so forth. While Eddy showing us on of the bamboo, Dila want to see it nearer and incindentally step on Ubai foot.Ubai was shocked but suddenly realise what is happening. "Kau pijak kaki aku" Ubai whispered. Dila immediately move her leg. At that point of time, nobody dare to make a sound or nay noise cos we have been warn by Eddy. Well, its really a jungle and at night. I was about to smile but dont dare also....hehehehehehhe...

What did we catch after that..many leeches. Not much to do after that, just have a cup of coffee, try to finish up as much as possible all the food and have a very good night sleep on last night at jungle. Tomorrow we will be back to our life and our city.....

Just before we aboard into the train on the next day, we had tea break at Famous Kluang station. The nasi lemak so sedap. each of us had 3 bungkus. ice lemon tea also good. The best ever is very cheap...

Back to Nature Endau Rompin II

This is the second episode of Geng Pengembaraan adventure.

1st may...

Our day starts as early as 6.30am. Have maggi goreng and telur mata as bfast, we are ready to go. Ome decided to stay so, she will wait for us at the end of the day.....(in the middle of my trekking, I do think of how brilliant Ome is decided not to join.Its damn exhausted..but well, Ome miss the fun in some ways...heheheheh)

Starting point Kuala Marong to Buaya Sangkut. This trek is known as the most difficult but we couldnt imagine how difficult it can be...so, here we are. Bear in mind, 5.5km is not flat trek..its go up,go down,go up, go down, go down go up and so on.

The journey started by climbing the stairs..to the hanging bridge and enter the jungle. At this point everybody still energetic, excited and free our mind not to think how difficult the trek will be. Our aim only to be at Buaya Sangkut waterfall at 12 noon and be back before dark....

We enter the woods. The trek still consider easy,still flat surface,still can smile widely.

After a few steps..we found fresh tiger print. According to Eddy, our guide...its approximately 50kg weight of tiger. I felt excited and nervous at the same time. Well, its a wild tiger anyway. Not the one in cage at zoo.

Continue...we found fresh,lively periuk kera. This trip educate me to value our jungles, our wild life so that our children can see what we experience now. Still, at this point..we are all ok. Pacat, yes, they started their adventure too.

This is our first stop after 1.5 hours trek. Everybody busy get rid of pacat. Nizam collected the most since he didnt wear any socks,just sandal and shorts.

Our first stop actually called Batu Hampar...

Buaya Sangkut 4km....Takah Kunyit 3km... this is actually the first 45 deg trek..doesnt look like that anyway..but the tiredness while climb it..definitely 45 deg slope..

left : this is 10 years old mushroom.... right : this is the first river waterfall cross

batu tu licin so kena extra carefull masa crossing. Me, at first I tried to step on the rock and when i have difficulties to balance myself, I just take off my shoes and cross through the water..easy and faster.. and this is our second stop after...i lost count of hours by then.

Nizam has been forced to become the 'tree' for Mia to hold to while crossing. He wear sandal so he is so 'kerek' cross the river...heheheheheh...

Dilla busy checking on how many pacat she actually catched.....look at the socks, fashionable is a must and I think that attracts pacat.... ;-)

We rest for a while. Eddy started his story about his friends died during white water rafting in Slim River. She was flying out from the raft....the current so fast...they cannot do anything and suddenly he saw the clear water become red....her helmet crash into pieces...What a sad story in the jungle..so Mia asked..."cerita lah yg happy2 sikit, tak nak cerita org mati"...then Eddy smiled and said " Saya jumpa harimau masa kat ........(mana ntah, I tak ingat).Harimau tu besar saya." So itulah happy moment Eddy which me and Mia trying to be happy too....(jumpa harimau pun happy ke....takut lagi ada)

TipS : Eddy said if we face to face with tiger, stare at her eyes,step forward so she knows we are not scared of her and she will go away. Dont ever turn your back because Tiger will attack you as she sees your back....(mcm dlm Beastmaster..anybody watching that series..)my question, ada berani????

at about 11am ++...we arrived Takah Kunyit. Masa ni mmg dah penat tahap gaban and berpeluh mcm habis air satu badan but when we see the sign..lagi 1km Buaya Sangkut..kind of relieve pasal dah dekat. and this consider our 3rd stop.

Penat macam mana pun, tetap maintain senyum. Look at Nizam..dah almost hilang seri senyuman....heheheeheh..do u see the hill behind us..thats is the one we have to climb up afterwards.... pokok di bawah tu adalah Kacip Fatimah...


consider as our 4th stop because too tired after climbed up the most steep hill of entire journey..(mcm poyo je bunyinye but memang mcm nak putus nyawa) While climbing this hill, I was mumbling asking why this buaya tersangkut tinggi sangat. Kat bawah2 sudahlah kan..Ada pacat near my armpit after I sandar kat pokok tu....manage to buang anyway...

finally, we arrived Buaya Sangkut Waterfall at 12.30pm

some photos taken over the victory of conquering the Buaya Sangkut. HAhahahahahaha.....but where's the Buaya Sangkut???

Look at the big rock horizontal there...That is the head of Buaya yang tersangkut. Based on the story, in short version ya, once upon a time, there is a father and daughter. The daughter are believe to be kill by Buaya when she grows up. So the father brought her to the highest place as possible to avoid Buaya. One day, the daughter said she saw buaya tersangkut at waterfall...and her father quickly kill the crocs, took the body and skin and made Gendang out of crocs skin. When the Gendang is completed, he hang it at his daughter room above her head. Next morning, her daughter found dead due to Gendang fall over her head. So, the rock that in the photo is believe to be the head of Buaya yang tersangkut tu....Based on the head size, can u imagine how big the overall crocs is????

after 4 hours of trekking, just take photo???no no no no...we settle down here for a while

this is our swimming pool at Buaya Sangkut. A little bit uphill...less current, more secure.

prepare our lunch....just tuna sandwich and instant noodles

we can swim down here. at the top where Ubai is...the current so fast. and beyond that is actually a big lake ,80ft deep. too calm and its scary. we dont have photo while we swim because dare enough to risk bringing the camera across the water....we have to swim and with camera...forget it. So, the memories remains in our mind.

After spending about 2.5 hours there...we heading back at 3pm and target to reach campsite before dark. According to Eddy,before 7pm.

Way back somehow not that difficult because more downhill than uphill. So, a little bit faster.

we arrive campsite in one piece before dark...Alhamdullilah...and Ome welcoming us.Apparently, while we went for hiking, Ome by default became a manager of the place. People who came in this place ask her about Buaya Sangkut, how far is Batu Hampar from here and she even forbid people to have bath at the river...u can mandi manda but no shampoo and soap please....she did an excellant job and we did ask her how many groups has arrived..so on and so on...she can answer all of it fluently as if she's been there quite a while....Well Done Manager.. ;-)

At night, we had dinner yang dah lupa apa tapi Semua org tambah nasi at least once lah....perhaps we are so tired and hungry too. Habislah nasi yg di masak and all lauk pauk...before I forget, there is one item in here which really make u having a big appetite. Its Kicap Manis ABC...makan dgn apa pun sodap..betul, mmg sedap and thats is actually our main menu on top of all dishes...

After dinner and before end of the night.....we had campfire,drink tea,makan biskut and share story about Sang kancil & gajah, filem2 P ramlee and nyanyi lagi anuar zain(our guide big fan Anuar zain).

thats the end of 2nd day......3rd and 4th day to be continue....
