Do you like Nature? Do you want to relax? Do you want to spend your time leisurely and at your own pace? Do you want fresh air after having lots of carbon monoxide? Read on......
Had a trip to Temenggor Lake in the VERY VIRGIN Belum Forest in Perak. Travelled with 19 other friends, some known, some unknown but does it matter? We had loads of fun! Have you ever played lake basketball? You should try it. Great fun! Especially when your opponents winning and yet, you are not losing because there's no referee!
When we arrived, HOT, HOT, HOT. Remember your hat as well as the SPF 50 Sun Block. Note though that it may yet rain at anytime coz this is nature. No need to predict, you will fail.
It was also a match making trip as a new couple maybe emerging..... AnnX and Eng HuaX. I did not specify their names here, so you have to guess by yourself. I think not easy to guess coz got 20 people in the trip.
Never ending fun until middle of the night where games filled with obscene words were played'. Winners had to shout obscene
words like X%#$@% faster than your opponent or else you will lose. If you lose, you would then have to shout as loud as you can of your opponent's name plus the $#@%$ word. Everyone was laughing so hard that you hardly need any further exercise. Indeed, humour is the best medicine. Some examples of the #$%$@ words are 'CCB', 'LCB', 'CBB', 'PKB' etc.... Those who play, you know lar..... Want to learn? Call Patrick our grandmaster.
There were three funny ducks at the eco-resort. Swimming here and there in the morning and into the night.
Cocks woke everyone up at 4a.m and continue crowing till late evening! It must have gone crazy!
The sun was shining brightly. The day before was not fruitful at all; zero! I told myself I must catch something. After all, my colleague Jenny has predicted that I will NOT catch anything at all. We went out to the scenic Temenggor lake and for the first two hours, nothing happened. I was about to give up when I asked my wife to pass me some luck. Wow, lady luck was definitely on my side as I was soon struggling with a huge
toman. How huge? Well, it took me about 3 minutes of 'fighting' before subduing my first and only toman for the trip. With one look, the boatman said, very close to 7kg. Wow! The largest fish I have ever caught before was a 1kg siakap.....
A minor accident happened during the banana boat session. It is very important to remember, everything has its limits, so please be careful even when you are having fun. Everyone was ok but Kay and Eng Huat had to accompany the injured Anne back to Penang. I guess they had fun because you can never have the chance to wear your swimsuit and showing it off in a hospital!
I learnt MAH JONG. Yes, the ancient Chinese game of Mah Jong. The best mah jong player amongst us was Grand Master Chuah Yee Lin..... Remembering things, she always forget but for Mah Jong, she remembers everything! The attention would have to be Siew Yin because she was always 'Sek Kai Wu'. Means win very small..... Now, I call her 'Kai Po'.
The next trip was to a aborigines village for river rafting. While it was a minor one but I have now
experienced it for the first time. On the way, we found the LARGEST ever petai (a type of vegetable).
Next was the trip home..... Another vacation over. Nevertheless had many new found friends and will be looking forward to my next trip which is to Macau and Hong Kong in September.

Giant Fish & Buah Petai
Charles, Nice photos sharing, especially the giant fish and buah petai. Why you use the name as Bim Bam Boom?
