So yeah, went to Chilling Falls near Kuala Kubu Bharu, KKB.
With Eu Jhin and his 2 IMU (or soon to be) friends.
Eu Jhin, Reviek, Chris, Myself... 4 Medical students... on a road trip, had to be fun right? indeed it was. A total change of our nerdy surrounding...
Breakfast at KKB to get the energy for the hike... Cheap and good!
Oh boy, i tell you it was soooooo nice!!! the feeling of walking in a tropical rain forest with high humidity, wet ground, 6 river crossings from shallow to deep ones, to the short sharp trees and plants scratching and brushing, climbing over tree stumps, and crawling under fallen trees, to jumping puddles of mud, swimming, diving... and the scenery as a whole...Awesome!
Where we had our breakfast...
A Dam along the drive up to Chilling from KKB... Scenery: Fantastic!I havent done Anything like this in the past 10 months. A Refresher it was, felt soo good after that. Oooh, i sooo missed Nature being in a concrete jungle seeing nothing but buildings and owh, not to forget medical school notes... Thank you EU JHIN!!!!!
Gearing up to head up... to the falls.
Seal our bags valuables we had to as we were going through 6 river crossings Up, and then 6 again, Down. That was really fun!
The sight of the awaited waterfall. Ive seen better, but this was worth it for the hike we had up... I expected the fall to be bigger, but im not complaining, it was great!
Here is where we all, and i really mean "ALL" almost drowned!!! We went into the CHILLING cold water, Reviek tried swimming on his own to see why he cant seem to float (buoyancy), then he lost it for a bit, then Chris went to help him out, but he himself is such a small size, so he was being dragged to drown himself, and finally to get out he pushed reviek as reflex and moved out from drown zone. Then Eu jhin went to help reviek as he now was drowning, and reviek pulled him in too, and then eu jhin grabbed me as a reflex by the shoulder and i couldnt help pull the 3 of us up, so i was sinking tooo. Until when eu jhin said, RELAX! then all of us floated up... lol.
Quite eventful. All 3 of us could be under the water now actually... lol. The best part, we didnt really cry for help, so no one came to help us. they tght we were playing or something i guess.
So after a swim, we went to eat what we brought there, I made Breadrolls (well, mum made (karipap like)) but i take credit for bringing. Lol. And then, we had Pringles, and 7Up Revive... That was a light lunch, very light.
Sat down a while while enjoying the nature from a rock which to us is the Best Seat in the House, and then in a small stream nearby.
Then headed back into the falls, now to dive! Yeap! climmed up the slippery rocks and Dived in. Awesome! Cut my toe in the process too... Oh well, hikes always toughen you up, the more the scars, the tougher you're said to be...Works In life too eh? ;)
Packed up and headed down... another hour plus hike down now...
On The way down
We went through all sorts of terrains... All. Fun in All too...
River Crossing One, The shallowest... This is after coming down... OFF TO LUNCH! At KKB again.
Toweled down, And then back to PJ with the Help of Revieks Garmin (GPS). Which proved to be soooo helpful man... SOOO!!!
Headed home and went out with Eu Jhin and Reviek for an Italian Dinner he said it was good, Pizza Bella Italian i think it was called. I had a light dinner, and then headed back home dead Tired... DEAD TIRED!
All in all, a great trip, and no regrets. Would certainly go for another one! ;)
PS: more cun pics to follow, its in Eu Jhin and Chris's cameras...
One Life, One Love, Enjoy Every Bit of it.
