9.40am
It had all started when I received a phone call from Belinda
asking if I would like to go hiking with the Bethanian-s. Weary- eye and
sleepyhead, I was like..huhh?? why hahaha this is all of a sudden waking up to
plan to climb a mountain!! Ruth texted me again later to ask for reconfirmation
and I agreed.
Taking a quick shower and packing my clothes, I was happy I
managed to get ready about an hour.. well, err, its still consider quite fast
right? xD I was glad I had my purple Slazenger shoes along with the purple
Global Village t-shirt, which gave my attire a happy wonderful sporty vibe.
Wanting to grab a sporty bag, I reached for my grey Slazenger bag, but that stupid bag dint have a strap.. like
WTHELL.. who makes a sporty bag without a strap?? Like when you’re there to
carry all your necessities like sports gear aka: shoes, good clothes, sports
bra( It have to be nice), some nice headbands, ( to look like a true sportian),
water bottles, chips, snacks, whatever else you need, books pens, uhh uhh…
mandarin book in case conversation gets awkward, basketball, baseball, whatever
…hahaha… ball, no laa.. jk ,,
What if your carrying a bigass dumbbell, but heyy,.. who
will carry dumbells in their bags,.. babi! Will jatuh flat on your foor…
aiyoo.. alamak .. aduhh… omg wtheck shytt… then you of course harr need a strap…
Ok back to the main point, so I just used a normal backpack
which I purchased from a small boutique shop in Summer Mall which does not cost
even that much expensive of RM 35.. Im so proud to get it … It hell looks like
one of a sporty bag… and its so wonderful and so much space!!
It had the green-ish, brown-ish shuriken shape stars on it,
with a peeking owl and it hell looks like a sporty, military bag! Im so proud
to own one!! Danggg…
I went down to get some snacks and decided to buy some
Strawberry Chocolate cookies which has err.. 16x6 = 96 cookies for only RM 7.90
I know right… these cookies are damn damn cheap, found in
Sarawak with abundance of flavours,.. durian, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla,..
Well, if you’re a fan of these Oreo- like biscuits, you can
find them at very cheap prices at Unijaya in Sarawak, Kota Samarahan, near
Unimas… For cheapskate and bankrupt people like me, well, hey, why bother about
Oreos when you can have one of these delights?
I met Rahat and Tousif on the way at Nusrath Café, and I always
have seem them there..hahah! Anyway, while waiting for Norman to pick me up,
the Chinese Shop behind Nusrath served piping steamed scrambled eggs…
whattheshit.. because of my cheapskates-ness, I dint buy one of these
delights?!!
Anyway, after waiting a while, Ivon, Wendy and Ellie came
and off we went to the roundabout and waited for Nabil about 30 minutes… Turns
out he was also in for an element of surprise to know the van came quite early…
Our van ride took about an hour, and when we reached there,
the buying ticket process went out in the usualy chitty-chatty randomness, and
I was trying to sleep with my sunglasses, keeping the sun out of your
already-closed-eyelids-while-it-can-still-absorb-sunlight is one of the best
way, besides when you got a really cute Rayban sunglasses..
The ticket costs about RM17, and yeaa, It was reasonable…
We were advised to refrain from going to the beach as it had
crocodiles and stingrays, and recently, a local had a terrible fate with a
crocodile, so to dear visitors who are planning a visit to Bako, pls be
cautious and take care of your safety.
We kicked in our first morning with a speed boat ride that
was frickin awesome!! The wind blew my whole soul to up sunlight paradise, with
all my thoughts looming back and forth, happy and calm, telling me not to worry
so much about plans of the future,..
The boat ride took about 15 minutes and indeed, was one of
the fun-nest boat ride I ever sat with all my dear friends at the back and with
me.. Nabil was busy snapping away with his DSLR camera the nature and those big
wooden stick stands to catch fish from the river..
That JERK! Had a big DSLR, but did not take a picture of mee…
of meeee..! am I that hangover uhh-glyy face in the morning ?
We walked down after the 15 minutes boat ride, and got our
feet abit soaked with mud, and walked across the beach… It was really crazy!! There
were these cute crabs skimming across the sand,, I never seen crabs skimming
that fast!! It was as if they were flying,.. baby- size crab to be more
precise.. they were just so cutee!!
And guess what!! The gang then stumbled upon a wild boar!
There was a sign near the resort that said: beware of wild animals attack..
Really, kool, first time I have ever came across a wild boar
and flying sideways crab!! Ahahah!
We went into the jungle about 1.30 pm and planned to be back
around 4pm,, the jungle was filled with roots, sand, mud, and various soil
pathways and we walked about one hour up. The walk up was indeed challenging
and tiring, but nevertheless, so much fun! Ivon kept laughing non-stop about this
African toro-toro video, this is not my real face, and her spirt and laughter
definitely brought this team energy higher, ..or was it just me.. haha! When you
are baru finish your exam, it’s the last thing you want to think about and just
need to look for a source of inspirtation.. hahah!!
Actually sometimes, when doing things then require enduring strength
and time, I tend to look for something that can raise my energy level or
spirits, and it’s something that can make me happy or excited.. Weeks of
difficult uni and how I am not really well at keeping up these past few months
have definitely been a drawback.. and making me feel weak for thse past few
days :’( I cannot be more thankful how some great friends have always been
there for me to have my back and bring up my spirits.
Walking in the jungle has been pretty exciting because the
pathways soil, like I already mentioned, consists of various types and colours
filled with fresh air and good weather… I feel blessed this morning to inhale
and breathe in fresh air, that wonderful feeling all in your lungs and across
your system…
Climbing when we finally reached the top was BLISSFUL! At
first, halfway across, we kept mentioning we might have lack of time to reach
the top because it was going to be quite far and we set a time limit of 15
minutes. Nabil, Ashwin, and Norman went ahead first, with others keep telling
the others to ‘patah balik’ or go back…But heyy, wtheck,.. we came this far for
going back?? Sometimes you have to stop listening to other perspectives and things
that can hold you back, and JUST DO IT,.. so as I pride myself as the tiger
that kept moving forward, OFF I pounced
forward with a determination and with the clueless beautiful curiousity of what
lied ahead,,.. Seconds after, I could hear voices from behind with the other
gang catching up,.. see what I mean?? Sometimes, other influences can affect
your decision, but if you take the courage and put your foot forward, you can
suddenly realize you’re the one ahead and taking the lead of the other
influences..
And the full move forward, speed up was worth it. The scenery
was cantekk, beautiful and gorgeous…whatever you want to call it,.. a fence to
prevent us from falling and atop a cliff, lay a beautiful seaside view down
below with its glistening waters, sparkling sand, gorgeous mountain shrouded in
puffy clouds, with the gentle cool breeze through our body. It was definitely a
good moment to register while we took in the good achievement and atmosphere.
We took a few minutes up there and hurried down quickly to
reach the boat docked on the sands waiting for us at 4pm… Ohh, thank youu
BelBel for offering to carry my heavy backpack, it was great to have some help!
Before that ,while waiting for the others, some of us came across a wild
monkey,.. it snatched our freakin’ 100 Plus bottle… and we were laughing at it
when it couldn’t open the bottle, especially by the cap.. when it started
ripping the plastic bottle: .. and shyyttt damnn… I don’t want to mess with
those fanged crazy monkeys… uhh…
Luck came to us, when one of the boats could take 5 more people
with many ang mohs already waiting in the boat, and off we plopped in the boats
to speed off… The others went on a different boat, and it was HILLARIOUS how we
were teasing each other, having boat races… Our boat initially sped off the
fastest but slowed down in the middle because it was too heavy and huge…
When we went down, off we went for dinner at a Chinese reastaurant,
and it was funny to see how Nabil had his first Chinese food,.. I keep making
lame jokes of … OhhhChienn… of Wendy’s Awww Mann.. and goodness it was so much
joking and chitchatting at the dinner table. It was also great to have Yee Nie join us, with her not wanting to
touch us because we were GERMY!!! From all the walking.. hahahhah!! It was so
much funn!! Dinner consist of kendondong drink, two types of vegetable, butter
prawns, tom yam soup, and tou foo.. Nabil say’s Bangladesh doesn’t really eat
tou foos and beans, that’s why he doesn’t really enjoy tou foo, beans, barley
beans and soya!! Hahahha!!
Anyway, well, that’s how we wrapped up a wonderful day with
lovely dinner, hiking and jungle trekking! Muackss! Thanks for reading my blog,
and to everyone who made it an enjoyable day
Ashwin, Belinda, Cilia, David, Elliel, Ivon, Nabil, Norman ,Vincen
