Trip to Taman Negara with BFF

Last minutes plan. To TAMAN NEGARA, Pahang!!! Me and my best friend went to Taman Negara from 8-10 June 2012. Just the two of us.

6 hours journey... 3 hours from KL to Jerantut by bus. Another 3 hours from Jerantut to Taman Negara by boat. Yeah, it's tiring. Spending 75% of time by sleeping. Hahahaha...

Why we choose going to Taman Negara by bus and boat? Because none of us were willing to drive there. We paid the full-board package and let the agent plan for us. From the transportation to accommodation, activites and meals. Enjoying our adventurous vacation with nothing to be worried about.

The thick jungle of Taman Negara seriously not let you apart from your "work" as your colleagues still can get you. To receive call and SMS is not impossible even though you're busy with jungle trekking, boating and even learning how the orang asli make fire and use the blowpipe, duh!!!

Frustrated because I didn't bring own camera but thanks to Orissa for the piece of photo that she snap while we walking on hundreds meter from ground (Canopy Walk).

On our second night at Taman Negara, we get to know young man from Japan. Yeah, he's good looking, friendly and alone. What's best about him... I can clearly understand words that came out from his mouth. He can speak English well! It's not like my English is so darn good but I've always have problem with the accent. I think that it is difficult to understand when Japanese speak in English. I'm not being racist but this is what I feel. No offence.

On our last day, we're having our breakfast with the Japanese guy. Hahahaha... Feeling of not going back to KL while waving to him was so... hmmm... Oh, 5 hours to KL by boat and bus... Again, sleeping time!!!

Moral of the story, don't forget to bring along your camera if you're interested to go to Taman Negara. Even though you'll be charged RM5 for the camera but who cares??? Telling others your experience without any photos, is like something missing.

XD Peace!!!

Dabong, Kelantan

Went for my BFF's wedding last month (June 1, 2012). My long journey to Kelantan. My very first time to Kelantan and it was so...

The road, not like what we have in KL. Big hole here and there. Traffic jam for about few kilometers with only two lanes was not a big deal for the local people. Even my kampung got better road.

Dabong??? Do we really have place named Dabong in Malaysia? Well, you may find by Google it, duh! XD

Nothing much about Dabong to share.

1) The wedding ceremony was way too simple. No kompang. No bunga manggar. But the food was not so bad.
2) Gunung Stong. Enjoy the scenery of highest waterfall! they also provides challet for visitor. Clean.
3) Food. Nasi berlauk and nasi kerabu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't they have any other menu? Some food stall did sell roti canai but in limited quantity. If you're late, you've got nothing.
4) Pasar malam. I don't know what the local people call it but it's like pasar malam at my place. The only different is they started from 4pm and end at 7pm. They did sell clothes, foods, groceries, and etc.
5) Train station. Yeah, we stay at the hotel opposite the train station. Thanks to the 24/7 operated train station, me and my friend can get late night snacks at the mini mart nearby.

On our way back to Subang, my dear BFF and her husband bring us to Rantau Panjang to shop since this is my very first time to Kelantan. Hot weather. Sweating like @#$%. Continue our journey back home at 12+pm. Oh, we stopped at Bukit Bunga before heading to Rantau Panjang. I bought 3 packs of Keropok Ikan for Mama... XD

Traffic jam from Raub to Genting Sempah. I've been sleeping like dead bear for 6 hours. We stop at Genting Sempah for dinner. Safely arrived at... almost 10pm.

Thanks to my dear BFF and husband for the trip & hospitality. Also for the good experience!!! XD
