Heyaaaaa! Came back from kuantan 2 days ago with Khai's family and family friends but was tooo lazy to blog about it. Didn't bring my camera so can't take any pictures. The only pictures I took is in Khai's handphone. So for now bear with the picture-less post ya.

Day 1

I woke up at 5.30am (how rare is that?). I slept at 2.30am which means I only had 3 hours of sleep. Yawwwnnnn..... Khai came and picked me up to his house at 6am. Then left his house at 8am to fetch his family's friend in Bangsar. Then we started our journey to Kuantan! Well, we didn't exactly went staight to Kuantan, we stopped by at this elephant sanctuary. Watch this documentary about how an elephant is shifted from one place to the other. Then, the people brought out the elephant to get them showered and let visitors sit on it but I did not. Then we left that place and headed straight to Sungai Lembing, an ulu place away from Kuantan.

Reached there about 5 plus, showered and got ready for dinner. Had vegetarian for dinner (no meat!!!! People who knows me willl know that I will die without meat). Then went back to this, hhhmmm.... can't call it as hotel or motel, it's like 1 whole big house with several rooms inside. You should get the idea. Didn't do anything else and slept around 11pm. Soooo earllyyyyyyyy....


Day 2

Woke up at freaking 4.30am!!!! OMGGGGG... I can't belive it myself!! Started our journey for mountain trekking at 5am. Yes, You heard me right... MOUNTAIN TREKKING!! It was sooo freaking tiringggggg.. but to others.. it is like.. jogging... Even 50 years old people have more stamina than me!! Reached the top about 6am and waited for sunrise. But sadly, it was too cloudy and we were not able to see the entire sun. However, it is still beautiful! The cloud looks like cotton candy in white.. The air is sooo refreshing and cooling. Would be nice if I brought mattress, blanket and pillow to sleep! Haha.. Kidding!! Walked down and I was the second to reach the bottom!! Hehehe... So proud of myself that I actuallu mountain trekked. Maybe it's common for some people but not me.

Went back and showered then, out again to the Mine Museum.. Interesting? No? Well, it was ok for me. After the museum, we went and visited the real mine!! I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually likes it. Quite fascinating. It was very very slippery and muddy. The water was crystal clear and cold! If it's safe I don't mind drinking it. Hehehe... Walked for about an hour and came out. Couldn't go any further because it is not safe. We didn't wear any helmet or safety equipements and all. Oh, by the way my shoe spoiled! The whole layer at the bottom of my shoe came off!! "Khai!! You have to buy me a new one adiiiiii!!" Hehehehe...

Then, we went straight for lunch. Was realllyyy hungry. Ate in this place called Restaurant Hoover. The food tasted quite good, or is it I'm hungry? Whatever.. As long as I can eat!! After lunch, we went back and packed our stuff to Kuantan!! On the way there, we stopped by at this waterfall. It was B.E.AU.T.I.F.U.L. Can't remember when was the last time I went to a waterfall. The water is soo cold. Then, about 20 minutes later, it started to rain heavily!!! Me and Khai ran back to the car while others took shelther at this "pondok" (anyone knows what is it called in English? I... forgot what is it called). After the rain, we headed straight to Kuantan.

Reached around 6 something. Showered and got ready for dinner. Khai drove and I just sleep and sleep and sleeeppp... Hehehe.. Forgotten what is the name of the restaurant. As I remember, the food is quite good. Went back to the hotel after dinner, watched tv awhile and then, sleep. Was dead tired ok!!

Day 3

Woke up at 8am... Had duck mee for breakfast. Not bad not bad.. but the mee a bit salty. After breakfast, we went to the beach for about 1 hour only. Then, we headed straight back to the hotel, packed and checked out. Headed to Maran for lunch (Don't ask me. I dunno where is it either). We went to this cafe serving homecooked food. It was quite yummy!!! The highlight would be this grandfather who looks like his is about 65 years old could play the drum, guitar, tambourine, and come chinese instruments. He can play songs with it in Chinese or English. Really entertaining!! Then the uncle and Khai's mom started singing. Hahaha.. Then he told us about legend of Lake Chini. Reached there around 1pm and only left at 4.30pm!

After that we went to Lake Chini. Sat on this motor boat that brought us to the middle of the lake. Then we saw rainbow!! Not the ordinary rainbow.. it's like the rainbow smeared around the cloud. Not very good in describing but it was really beautiful!! First time seeing it. Then, the motor boat man brought us to this village og orang asli. But didn't went in because it was too late. So, after Lake Chini we went straight back home!! That's the end of my trip. If you find it boring, then..... TOO BAD!! Oh yahh, the 2 years old baby girl is soooo cuteeeeee.. No picture of her. Wastedd.. Ishhhh...

That's it for now!! See yaaaaaa.. Muaxs muaxsss
