Lata Kedondong

Its been quite awhile since I last ventured into the wilderness. I was quite busy dealing with freelance stuff for the past few weeks. Kinda makes me miss the wilds a lot... On October 25th 2009, 7 guys, 1 girl and 1 dog left TTDI around 7:30 am for Lata Kedondong. Lata Kedondong is located alongside the road from Batang Kali to Gohtong Jaya in the Genting Highlands. N 03 25.82' E 101 43.86'. There is a lower falls 5 minutes away from the car park which is easily accessible by everyone... To reach the upstream falls, one must trek 45 minutes pass a bamboo forest. I have to admit that i'm actually treking like a wuss this trip (kinda creeped by Eddie and his tiger leech sucking off someone's balls story). The upstream falls of Lata Kedondong is pretty unexploited, you will actually need a machete to clear the path... cool huh? Some sort of rainbow thing is visible at the upstream falls around 9:30~11:00 am.

The water there is freezing cold, but for some unknown reasons its also one hell of murky. I didn't get to take a good shoot at the upstream falls due that area being all time foggy/ misty. I didn't went up to the Upper-tier-falls as I'm too chickened to do so... There are quite a fair amount of wildlife in that area... Tiger leeches (fanged worm-leeches), tree frogs, and various insects. Heh... We also found a Genting Highlands road sign rammed down by some drunken driver. That's all for now i guess... Peace... I think i did something wrong right before we left Lata Kedondong... I mean really wrong...

All the single ladies, that part covered by the genting highlands sign is actually GENTING HIGHLANDS... Woot! GG!

Pissed?

Wow... What the fuck?!? Hmmm... That's odd, i don't remember selling my piece of artwork to any company. I think I can tell that I'm too happy about this. I don't know if i should take legal action against them... kinda broke currently, can't afford any lawyers... Its quite sad to know that this kind of unethical people still exist.

I mean its not fair for me, you are making tons of greens over there out of my art, and i'm sitting here getting nothing... Fucking pissed.

Lubuk Kawah

Holy Shit! I SURVIVED LUBUK KAWAH! Lubuk Kawah is located somewhere after Tanjung Malim, Perak (N 03 43.05' E 101 35.36). Its not a hard trek at all, if without around 15kgs of shit (water supply for 2 days, food, camera with flashgun, clothes, tent and a spade to dig my shit hole to shit). Its a 2 hours trek in order to get to the camp site. There are 4WD tracks and one hell lot of leeches all over the place... Besides that, everything else is awsome. We left TTDI for Tanjung Malim around 8:30am Sep 22 09.Things got sticky as it started to rain half way tracking... Darn lawyers leeches... i've got 6 lawyer leech bites... 2 on my left foot, 1 on my left leg, 1 on my right ass and 2 near my balls... Damnit... The Rm3.50 rain coat i got from 7 eleven has a hole on it before I even use it... Bah... We setup our tents and spent a night in the middle of nowhere.
Its very hard for salon cars to maneuver their way into the starting part of the trail. Better get a 4wd next time.
There are lots of wildlife to observe along trail. Most of them are not afraid of humans.

Woot! Our awsome dinner!


We have Jedi masters wanabes during the night. Bwahahahahah.

Heh, that's all I guess... Off to dinner now.

Unusual Sunday

As I'm getting ready for Lubuk Kawah, Perak tomorrow, I've realized something... going for on an adventure trip on Sunday mornings is like people going for Sunday church. going on an adventure trip on Sunday mornings became part of my life. I recall my first adventure trip was 7 or 8 months ago... a short hike up Tabur hills with frog and his ex... I think that it was awsome. I know that there are people out there that thinks that going on a trip that might end your life every Sunday morning is stupid... I feel sad for this group of people as they don't get to enjoy those wonders mother nature made for all of us. This morning was an unusual Sunday morning. I woke up at 9:30, when i finally got down from bed, its 10:30am already. I don't know, I just feel kinda empty not going adventure. Took breakfast and went to church with frog... There goes my Sunday morning... Heh.

Went to Broga Hills last week, Sir Footstool Pee-and-Shit-a-lot joined our group... He smells like crap, and he is trying to make Broga hills smells like him. Ah... Crap...

Awsome clouds... Good night folks...

Returning to Chiling

Its been a few months back when i first came to Chiling Falls. I remembered that I hurt myself quite badly back then. Chiling Falls is located 21 kilometers from Kuala Kubu Bharu on the road to the Gap, East 101 45.05' North 03 35.71'. As usual, we gathered at Frog's place early in the morning, and we left TTDI around 7 because Frog somebody is late. I didn't really enjoyed my first trip here because I kinda screwed up my footwear. But today is different, Chiling was pretty awsome when you have all the right gears. Its a 1 hour track, river crossing plus some minor hikes in order to reach into the falls. You are advised to keep the weight of your back pack down. The track itself was quite simple, first timers are expected to plunge into the river during river crossing. I also learned a new technique to keep leeches away from Eddie... All hail the mighty BAYGON... yes, it was THAT effective! Spray it onto your socks/ footwear and let it dry, its that simple. When you spray it on a leech, it will wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs, wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs, wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs until it finally curls up and die in a pool of blood. Its funny and awsome.


There are lots of fish here, but you are not allowed to do fish strafing here with your bow, harpoon or what-so-ever tools. Remember to bring your swimming googles along!


The world is so beautiful...if only we can see that, share it and keep it that way. -Linus

That's all for today i guess... Good night.

On the double

Last Sunday, 23rd Aug 2009, was packed with double the amount of awsomeness of any other usual Sundays. Me and my gang made a quick run to the peaks of Tabur that morning. It's awsome, just that its a bit too cloudy... I kinda missed the "Tabur moment" this time, but then its no big deal. It's not the location that made the trip awsome, but the people alongside us that made the trip awsome-packed.

Playing around with white balance... tungsten mode. I took a short nap right after i got home and get ready for Eddie, Dennis and Carol's surprise party. It took Audrey (and her friend), Timmy, Frog and Me 4~5 days to wrap up everything essential for the surprise party. We printed a few copies the birthday boy/girl's mask and cracked some really bad jokes with the masks.

Oh and, if you are stung or cut by some weird looking plant in the wild, do remove the thorns and pay immediate medical attention. Otherwise, you will end up like me. I'm cut by some weird looking root with spikes while hiking Tabur.

Broga Hills

Broga Hills are located somewhere near Semenyeh. One could easily reach the first peak of Broga Hills in less than 20 minutes time, there are no complicated side tracks, no need to get wet, no leeches, no serious hiking, there is no need of a parang unless you want to pose with it at the top, just one straight path to the top... If it takes you more than 30 minutes to get up there, you'll have to admit that you are either a SISSY or a WUSS, Tabur Hills are not for you. Seriously. Trust me, its that simple. The crowd was enormous up there because the peak could be easily accessed.

After arriving at the first peak, Frog pull out his canvas and painting equipments and start painting, I ran for the second and third peaks. I only get to know that YY brought a cake all the way up here to celebrate my b'day upon regrouping with the group. Celebrating my birthday on the peak of Broga hill, how awsome is that? I was later assigned a dumb ass task of passing a piece of cake to every one on the peak. Hahahaha, Dumb ass shy killing training~!

"Hey, my name is Sum and today is my birthday. Would you like to have a piece of cake then?" Random chicks feeding me my cake, epic moment of life. Heheheh... Now touch my awsome button.

In the end, Broga is just so so... is the people up there that made the trip awsome. Oh wait! I totally forgot about him... Oh god...

This is the HAMSTER GOD, it is rumored that if you pray to him and touch his balls, your balls will grow bigger... Go touch it, you know that you want to. Good night folks.

Lepok Falls

Lepok falls was located 15 km north of Ulu Langat, near Kg Pangsun... somewhere slightly off Cheras. If you appear to own a GPS, here are the coordinates: N03° 15.03' E101° 51.94'. As usual, we gathered and took breakfast at Devis... A 24/7 mamak 2 minutes away from Frog's place before daybreak. Lepok was great, just that u need to track uphills pass a region of Durian orchards and bamboo forest which is like 4 km... Keep your eyes open for free durians and try not to get hit by one.

The track is quite clean, don't take the sidetracks or else you will end up in the middle of nowhere... If you happen to see this tree, you will erm... have to do a 15 minute back track. Do bring along your harpoon gun if you happen to have one because you get to spear some fish there. Remember to bring some whiskey to heat you and your buddies up a little bit, the water can fucking freeze your balls. If you want to get the top of the falls, you better be careful. One wrong step might be fatal.




From what i learned from my failure last Tuesday on Tabur, NEVER leave home without this amazing babe. If you love adventure, hiking and tracking a lot, do not hesitate to get one of these... Especially people that prefer to hike/ track with flip flops.
