Byebye 2008. Hello 2009.

Week after christmas, it's new year!

new year eve. If i were in kl, bukit bintang or some where must where i be. but I was at the ulu place for real. zZzz No firework, no mercun, no counting down from 10 to 1, just very peacefully passing from 31st to 1st.


830pm, Shan's sms festive greetings. I replied, was alone, while the rest happily bbq out there, where my window can take straight peak to the place. I said i felt the coldness and loneliness of the world. The rest refers to the old folks or rather uncles, those management people of the mill.

930pm, knock knock. "mr chua invited you to come over". okay. changed my pyjamas went out.

Mr Chua aka the manager, knows enjoy life very well. He breeds a bunch of lambs at the corner of mill. During special occassions, ordered somebody kill one, and up to the table. Roasted lamb they had. Even the charcoal came from the kilang papan nearby which also own by this company. The whole meal is FOC weyyyy. One thing was, i did not know that the char siew can actually buy them raw and cook ownself. Self-roasted char siew, chewy but yummier without the red coating.


Cutting the roasted lamb legs. Even the bbq equipments, home made ones.

You know. eating with those uncles at late night. one thing you cannot escape it from is...

alchohol. Made it double.

i think those uncles totally changed my image in their mind when they see me drinking beer.

p/s: mr chua was drunk, and he never admitted it, kept wanting me to listen to what he said about his hometown, klang. Let me go when it reached 130am. but of course everybody was around, like 3 uncles, 1 young man, 1 young woman and me.

It's new year of 2009!!!

company trip to picnic at waterfall. 5 cars, 24 people went. 7 chinese, the others, pendatang and orang kampung. my brain starts to think in malay way instead of chinese or english way. i need to think twice before i open my mouth, or else it will be malay which comes out first.

Let me introduce the fun, interesting, great exploration and cheap recreation of orang kampung is to mandi at air terjun. there are plent of them along the way, but somebody suggested this

Air terjunBakong bakong. It supposes to be a name of a kampung. thought it will be free admission, who knew RM2 per pax, company paid.




that is the brief map of bakong bakong waterfall. scroll down and follow the stories to know clear about each section clearly.

Starting from the right of the map.

2nd cliff. the top part that is open to public. Doing the action below is at your risk. If you are same or greater size than me, my advice is do not take the risk.

Free falling from the top to the lake at the bottom. that person in red doesnt jump to the air, but fall from top. I catch the moment before he touched the water.


Second hero. At my knowledge, the lake at the bottom is not that deep, but still people loves to play extreme game.

Third hero, slightly off the track, but he worths 1 clap. the bottom lake, was full of people, some of them i saw, washing their head with shampoo, berbuih-buih. What the heck. i do not dare to get down to the water.

Secondly, the place we picnic. We had fried meehoon and fresh coconut prepared.

Drink the coconut milk. Eat the meat with coconut spoon. try before?


few kuli, carried wood all the way up there, and start bbq. marinated chicken wings and cheese sausages. bbq at the wild, feels different. Really. Do not have to care about hygene matter anymore. Most of the time we bakar more than panggang, the oil dripping made the fire burnt. Eat charcoal more than the meat.

one of them said "kata jangan makan hotdog, nanti tidak kuat."

zzzzzZz kuat apa?

Thirdly, the rocky waterway. The thoughest of all. Combination of big, medium and small rocks. The landscape is not flat, slippery some more tops up the thoughness. I nearly fell down like big potota. luckily im steady enough to stand still. but i wet my pants for few times.


While i was walking down the stairs of 1st cliff. i met this guy at the halfway. sitting at the middle of the waterfall. relaxing, playing his guitar and singing his song.


The view of the 1st cliff. higher than the 2nd one. so nobody dare to jump down from there.


can you see the guitarist? top middle. like floating in the air.

way back to mill. boss belanja roti canai. honest to say, this can defeat sri neela's one. but this curry sauce not spicy but taste sweet.


hmmmm. unusual new year celebration i can say. to buang sial by mandi-ing at the waterfall. Aiya i forgot to take the new year bath at 12 am sharp.

Well. May world peace, May economy recovers as soon as possible, May 19th Jan comes in a blink of eyes. hehe. it gonna be another great year too all of us. keep the good luck running.

Say goodbye to 2008.
Wave hello to 2009.
Happy New Year dearssssssss.
