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………
