Back from Berkelah expedition.. Woots, Luv it!.. =D
hmm, lets recap..
Started our journey frm sp.. Gathered at CLS block, ice-break, brieifng.. N e guys carry e extra equipment, food n stuff.. ~ok la, gd training.. Sunset, mrt-ed over to kranji 4 transfer to woodlands checkpoint, 170 was alr squeezy n add on our big big bags, hahas..
Ok reached spore customs n passed e usual formalities, den Walked over e causeway.. great, e greatest welcome gift before e trip - e exhaust fumes.

Passed malaysian side den everyone chiong e mama store buy chweing gum while waiting 4 e coach to arrive.. 9.30pm, boarded coach n officially began our trip.. 6-7 hrs on e road wif e usual stop at yong peng.. N goodness e driver ahh, is reali a damn chiongster sia.. Swerving in n out of traffic like his grandpa's road.. Racing wif tis goods lorry somemore.. wakao ehh.. N e darn irony is that he lost his way!.. Omg, stopping in e middle of nowhere, went out smoke n nvr say.. ~diaos..
Lucky e seniors hu went there last yr managed to direct him.. was kind enough to drive us in halfway, save us trekking time.. - Picture a bus rampaging thru e narrow paths of macritchie.. lolx..

Trekking in pitch-darkness was fun n something new too, but e experience was fun loads.. Reached e foot n had breakfast den nap awhile b4 setting off agn once day-break.. Set up base camp somewhere near e middle portion of e waterfall, that was almost 12 hrs since departure.. Pitch tents, set up cooking area n unpack.. Den wenta chill in e cool water which was crytal-clear.. Hell no will u ever see such a sight in spore man.. Discovered tis spot where e current was damn strong.. Shiok man, lying down there, better than jacuzzi.. =P

Had maggi 4 lunch den set off 4 e summit.. Ola, tis portion was e challenge.. w/o e heavy bags was nice, however e slippery rocks proved e threat.. was mainly about whether u dare to put ur leg out anot onli baa.. Anw, conquered it n reached e top.. Super cold e water there n e view was majestic! Managed a few dives into e water.. Brr~ Den lay on top of e rocks to dry e shirt.. Weex, though e sunlight was lik freaking hot, its very shiok sia.. - now i noe how a croc feels suntan-ing..

Idled there 4 sometime b4 making e descend back to basecamp.. Descend was harder i think.. Made it back jus in time.. Oh, since we're in e middle of e jungle, there aint any toilets or so.. Everything was done in e wild.. hahaz.. thats cool.. =D - lik tarzan..

Dinner den wanted campfire but apparently most of e grp were tired so that was called-off.. e guys in my tent werent tired yet, so jus sat chatting til outside was lik silent liao.. e slp was nice, wif e occasion breeze from e stream..

Woke up @6+ i think.. wash-up, breakfast.. den pack up get ready to depart le.. took some pictures b4 departing that serene spot.. Reached foot safe n sound n since e bus aint coming in agn, hadta trek out to e main road.. Abt 4-5km walk i think.. Hmm, surprisingly walking at nite seems to be better than walking in e day sia..
Aft walking an hr or so baa, reached e main road n had refreshments at tis lilo cafe there.. Ahh, i luv that ambience to eat in e middle of nowhere.. Boarded coach later n seemingly dozed off on it, dunno y how i did it too, b4 reaching tis toilet stop.. Later on, was watching Constantine thru e journey.. Den Poseidon.. ~movie marathorn..
Bought tao-sah biah from a town stop later..

-Hadta swopped buses cus e current one cant get thru to spore.. E newer bus was brighter but i still prefered e latter, more cosy..
Breezed thru customs, cus wanted try out e new system where u jus self-scan to pass thru customs.. weex, so fast.. 2nd link had no jams , but becus of e bus transfer n stoppages, reached SP onli lik 10+.. Lucky sherwin's dad was there n gave me a lift home tgt wif charmaine..
~Reached home, exhausted but satisfied.. =D
foot of e waterfall..

See how transparent e water is?.. =D drinkable too..


Random pic of e sun-set on e journey home..



N here's 4 mr sherwin tan.. hahas.. *notice wads on him..

~didnt managed take much pics, phone was inside bag most of e time.. Oh well, e memories was priceless..
