Trekking at Mersing

Assalamualaikum and Good day

2 days ago, got back from finding sponsors for my newest project..Bengkel Transformasi Perkasa. Going there with my partner, Danial and his friends. Never been in such field before..you know handling sponsorship..ain't an easy job although I only need to find simple sponsorship but still, you felt like a beggar seriously..urgh..it really felt uneasy actually..but what to do..no money maa..

Stop there, I got so much else to tell. Well..last Friday I went to Mersing under Trekking(ko-Q).It is like so compulsory for us to attend because it is a kind of a co-curricular activities.The camp is well known as Kem Bina Semangat. A camp which collected all the PLKN students.It is located at..hmm...well check out ur GPS everyone..hehe..I'm not good in explaining direction as I usually sleep during the long journey..lalala~

Okay, talk about the Friday night, we arrived at about 11 something p.m. We need to walk about 500m (if I'm not mistaken) to get to the camping spot to construct the tent.Frankly, it is my 3rd time in my entire life going to camping and the 2nd time ever to construct the tent.SO kinda forget..thank god, I have such supporting and helpful friends, they help me by teaching me on how to put up the tent.The basic of 45 degree...if you know what I mean..geez..so ashamed of myself..ahaha.

::BRiefing2:

After that,we have a small briefing by Encik Abdul Rahman on the activities that we gonna participate the next day and about the food too...Kind of tired after a few hours of journey. Can't have a full throttle sleep as Zul, Roy and Raja keep talking and disturbing me non stop like a chatterbox..haha..Just after ending up the briefing, we enjoy Nasi Lemak specially brought by our instructor.Nice yet very spicy!

::ShHh...We are guarding our food from the BOAR..so many of them!!::

Our eyes can't bear it anymore, we get to our tent to get our beauty sleep but so shocked to found that after several minutes of adjusting our body to sleep, we've been called by the camp instructor.."Kaum wanita sila bangun, beras kamu kena sondol dengan Babi Hutan!!!"..Hah!! I was so petrified and seriously got scared too..Jungle Boar?? really?? never saw one before..We rushed out from our tent to check out the condition.I was really afraid and hope that the boar doesn't 'sondol' all of our stock of rice..All the camp instructor dissipate the Boar and ask us to standby sentries to guard all of our tent.We quickly waking up the guys to do the job..hua3. Finally, the fiasco is over as the Boar finally left us but then still cross by our tent by gushing around our slippers and shoes..yikes!! My friends named the Boar as 'Cik Bi' and have several cute name for them such as JOni( the biggest one), Lucy and Lily.. I don't know where on earth did they find the names but I found it cute! hee~ "Cik Bi" lalala~

Alright, enough talk on the boar stuff, let us proceed with the next activities..which all three activities is the first ever I have done in my entire life!!! So pathetic..aish.. The morning start off quite fine as we only had bread with Jam and Kaya in the morning. At first, I need to accompany Encik Abdul Rahman to the market to bought wet food to cook for lunch but I'm really grateful as I don't need to and I can play Kayak!!! Really, I don't know any stuff on Kayak..they teach how to paddle the Kayak and Thanks Hidayah for instructing me how to paddle the Kayak the proper way..thank god that out Kayak hasn't 'terbalik'..haha

::Let's Cook!!::

Kayak is a really tiring outdoor sports..we need to paddle and paddle and paddle..phew..but it was so much fun that I hope that I can go kayak again! At lunch,we have simple food that is white rice, fried fish, omelet and cabbage soup...it was nice as each group cooperate with each other to prepare the food..After having lunch and prayers, we go on with the next activities...Flying Fox and Abseiling!! Wow!! I was scared to death at first when I watch how they demonstrate both activities..You don't know how it felt when you are on top of the tower!! My god, you felt your heart pounding so fast that you feel like you want to cry! Climbing the tower and starting off with Flying Fox..I can't remember how many times that Encik Awie has asked me "Da bersedia belum?"..I keep saying "sekejap2 and keep reciting Basmallah"..When I say yes, the instructor just pushed me and there you go, I am actually flying fox!! WOw.could not believe that..I thought that I am not strong enough to do so..but then i had!! yeay!! Abseiling also quite the same..where then push slowly your body at a position of 45 degree at the back where you need to get down slowly to the ground..at first I was hanging around like a hangman, but then after controlling the 'brek" where my right hand grabbing the rope, I successfully kiss the ground..huhu..so touching~

The end of the day, we had Fried Rice with chicken, fish and sausage BBQ for dinner.Yummy!! The BBQ is delightfully delicious!! No need the BBQ sauce just home made is enough. The night never end that simple, we go on with the Night Navigation also known as Night Walk activities. It is quite a thrilling activities though. You've been warned to check your group members several times..whether there is additional members or your members become lessen..geez!! I pray a lot in order that I could avoid such incidents from occurring. I felt more safe that Roy stand behind and guarded me. At least it felt safer to have a guy at your back..huhu..

You know, actually my instinct says that I saw a snake around me at the jungle..yet I think positive and didn't talk much on that as you know...animals...huhu..

The next day, we endure jungle trekking. NEAT! Again we meet with Mr.Awie..he is really professional and educated on plants..I am really impressed with him...I learn a lot of stuff that morning. Let me share with you guys some of it that I remember..

First things first, we encounter a plant called 'Mata Ayam'. It is some sort of ulam and we can eat it right away.It is so tasty and will be more tastier with SAmbal belacan..nyum2..then we met with plants called 'Segantang Bumi'.It is really good for women that have 'keputihan' and period problem..really good..Then the most interesting part is 'Rengas' tree. It is like a sacred tree actually. You can't just chop down the tree.It has some sort of like effect that could make your skin feel itchy and bloated like 'lebam'..hua3. You know, there are several pantang larang if you want to chop off the tree. I could remember only two out of three..Actually you need to trade names with the tree...If your name for example is Abu, so you need to trade your name and called the tree Abu and your name will be Rengas.Quite funny isn't it? haha. Next, you need to take the Haruan fish oil and pour it on your skin..the Rengas tree is actually really good in making the "Sarung Parang"..Only a selected and experience person that could stand the itchiness of the Rengas tree...

In addition, I also met a 'Benidan' tree if I'm not mistaken the name. It is kind of the only tree that could light up fire even in a wet condition..so you won't be scared of the dark..if you know what I mean..The next tree is quite a famous and expensive tree. Cendana or Sandalwood tree! At Pahang, if you sold 1kg of Cendana, you could get RM3000!! As simple as that! While in Kota Tinggi, you could get around RM6000! More like a two months salary pay check! Wow! If you burn the sandalwood tree, you could smell a really heavenly smell..no need perfume anymore!

Ha..and then, humming a song..with rythm..it is a one way that Orang Asli usually use if they are lost in the jungle..the song sound around like this..

Ketuk2 ekor kucing kedua dua, Ketuk2 ekor kambing kedua dua, Sampai aku bilang dua puluh tiga..

The song sound like that..maybe there is a slight error here and there..but you need to hum the song with Rhythm okay..hee

Fuh..so much already that have been spilled in this entry...Sorry making your eyes blurred around reading my entries..but seriously..it was fun like NGET joining this Trekking activities! I want to do trekking again..but avoiding Night Walk..lalala~

P/s- I am actually a scared person..I hope I will not met any type of ghost at night..OMG..Yikes..SLeep is better..ZzzZZ..hua3
