Lata Berembun Waterfall 4WD Adventure – 15 August 2010


Last Sunday Adventure with 4WD to Lata Berembun......


I enjoyed many first in this trip:

First bite by leeches – 1 got 2

Don’t even aware of the first bite – only saw bloods keep on flowing after being told by my friends.

The second bite – I experienced a sharp feeling of itchiness & pain – I saw it on my legs – luckily I’m not too panicky – my sis used the “Minyak Cap Kapak” on the leeches so that it can peel off…from my skin….

• First ride in a hardcore 4 x 4 vehicles

This is not a normal 4 x 4 vehicle, it’s already been modified to suit the tough terrain & looks very masculine… look at the pics to understand it.  We have total 8 pax in our car including the driver....Can you imagine us in the ride...

• First trip with more than 15 cars convoy

This trip is organized by my friend & through word of mouth it has spread to so many enthusiasts who wanted to experience the ride & the beautiful waterfall. Imagine more than 15 cars in convoy – many hiccups but we can improve on that!! Probably get a bus or something…it’s easier to control a bus driver than 15 different drivers right?

• First trip with more than 70 pax

Too many participants – I find it difficult to remember many of them – though I know a number of them, saw many familiar faces which also went to the caving trip earlier but I do not have time to get to know them better as I have a big group of friends joining as well.

• First time tasting durian breed – Bamboo Leg

The most popular “Musang King” has been taken by 1 of the participants – he bough the whole basket – selling @ RM13/kg. I think easily the whole load of baskets weighs more than 30kg. WOW! That means about RM390.00. The durian seller introduced another breed – Bamboo Leg which costs about RM8/kg. I bought 2 @ 4kg & it costs me RM32.00. But the taste is just as good as “Musang King” – bittersweet. The only difference is “Musang King” flesh is very yellow whereas “Bamboo Leg” is light yellow/beige.

• First time being so up, close & personal with the super luxury cars – Lamborghini, Ferraris, Skyline etc….

There was a convoy of super luxury cars parked at the Caltex Station which is our meet-up point. Wow! I thought they were also going to Lata Berembun…anyway…the first thing we do was taking pics with the car….So KIASU!!

For your information, Lata Berembun is located near Raub Pahang & is quite popular to local people. This is my first trip there & I really enjoyed the 4WD………
