Ceupacs, conquered!
Protected and Preserved by the government
I'm referring to the hill treks in Ceupacs (remember not so long ago, there were four individuals who got lost in Ceupacs while hiking and ended up in Hulu Langat before being rescued??? Yeapz, that's the place!). On Friday night itself, as I was leaving, most of us agreed to hike the following morning. Mana tau all FFK (mun yee also sleep-in instead of joining me) and we were only left with Cath, my Sis and me... walauweh, lebih lar korang semua!
Cath and Sis in front
This one is way harder to trek compared to Bkt Gasing, which has a good balance of uphill, downhill and straight paths, or any other locations that I've been to so far. Most of the routes avaiable here require trekkers to scale a long way up, before climbing (sliding, literally) down endlessly, just to head up, then down again and again and again (repeat the cycle until you're worn)... Halfway through, I was totally owned and had to stop to catch my breath...
Thick forest everywhere, ray of light to give us hope against the darkness of fear
Much deeper into the forestation, during one of the descends, we, unfortunately lost our way, unable to keep track or locate the marked paths. Began to realize when the path were getting thicker with vegetation by the minute; however, we still manage to keep calm and came up with a feasible solution, that is to back-track to the previous marker. Much later, we were lost once again mainly due to the fact that everywhere just look oh-so-freaking rediculously familiar. A speck of fear envelopes me and at the same time, I began to feel a lil' nervous; I don't wish to appear on the headlines of tomorrow's papers... And I still need to head to KLCC for the blog meet leh!
Stream of crystal clear water, cool and refreshing... immeadiately rejuvenates one from fatigue and exhaustion *not recommended for drinking*
After a few unsuccessful attempts, we were in unfamiliar territory once again. Along the way, I have suffered cramps once and strained my muscles on another occasion. Negative aura began to surround us as we were getting more and more tired, restless and demotivated by the minute. Bumped into a rubber tapper later on and got some directions to work our way out, which later were discovered to be inaccurate. Back-tracked again and bumped into a female tapper this time around. Cath and Sis had a hard time communicating with her as she keeps on repeating the answer, "Go straight can already" to every single directions requested. Lady luck must be on our side that day as a few trekkers were heading towards us from the opposite direction. After a double confirmation from them, we set out once again to the unknown. Much much later, at the first sight of civilization once again, we shouted with joy. And I slipped yet again...
Sis managed to get a souvenir back home from Ceupacs...
Leech (no, am not referring to Lee Cheng) in shoe, feasting upon Sis's blood... who knows how long its been there
Oozing out blood sucked from Sis... maybe cause "It sucks?"
Once again, Ceupacs, not so-easy but still... conquered!!!
