Returning to Chiling

Photobucket
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!

On the double

Photobucket
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.
Photobucket
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.Photobucket

Broga Hills

Photobucket
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.

PhotobucketPhotobucket 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~!
Photobucket
"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...
Photobucket
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

Photobucket
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.
Photobucket
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.
Photobucket
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. Photobucket 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.
