Trip to Gunung Gading
So little post, gotta keep post more haha. Ok, now I,m gonna talk about the trip to Gunung Gading on Saturday, 1 November 2008. My friend Tan, pulled me into this trip, somehow I got hypnotized by him and agreed to join him together with Hui Jin, Calvin and Nicholas (hope I didn't get your name wrong ya). Hui Jin getting so excited about the trip was quite active the day before, lol. Going for the trip and yet I went to bed at 2.30am OMG! Haha.
We were saying to wake up early and prepare some sandwiches. But then I woke up at 6.00am when the transport is to come at 7am+ OMG, I'm kinda late! Hurried and prepare everything and then cycled to Tan's house. They were all also have woke up at 6.00am too o.O hahaha. Ok, cut the crap, let's just skip this bullshit and continue.
We went to eat breakfast at, ermmm, Lundu if not mistaken, after that we continued to our destination. Remembered that my housemate Yu Hao drop his nokia 5610 into the water in the same trip to Gunung Gading back then when the hostel organized a trip there too. LOL!! Kinda waste though. After few hours of driving, we finally reached our destination, Gunug Gading. YAY!! This is where hell begin o.O We started hiking til we reach waterfall no. 7 We did stop at waterfall no.3 on our way to waterfall no. 7 The hike to waterfall no.7 was a distance of about 3km+ This doesn't look really far when the 3km is in a straight line, 3km of curvy and up and down stony, slippery and muddy terrain and you will know how long it take you.
Finally, waterfall no.7 I've already sweat almost half my body's fluid. Recharged with some 100 plus, coz it's got electrolytes. Hahaha. Upon reaching there, we ate something before going into the water. The water is very cold where you can cool your can drinks in the water, lol. It feel refreshed when you jumped into the cold water coz the coldness of the water can't be compared to the cold water that you get in the morning when you turn on the shower tap. Well, I did slip and fell, scraped some skin off. Didn't care much about it thought it hurt a little.
It's time to get down. "Aww, it's time to leave already?" We packed our things and began to move. Getting all the way up to waterfall no.7 is easy but getting down to the bottom is not as easy as you think. Getting down is much harder compared to going up on those steep and slippery, muddy terrain. So, we take full precaution going down to the bottom.
Finally!! Out from the forest in one piece, haha. We did take a photo before we went in the forest. we took another one when u got out. Both photos look very different, hahaha. Before that, we look all energized and ready to hike, after coming out of the forest, we were all looking very exhausted. Finaly out of misery in the forest, hehe.
We went to lunch after that. Ordered around 5 dishes and had a full meal. The 5 dishes cost us RM115. RM115 is counted cheap, elsewhere should normally cost around RM150-RM200. We then continued our journey to Sematan Palm Beach. The beach is very clean compared to beaches in Miri o.O I did took some photo of the beach. There's not a single rubbish seen there. You can also rent bicycles, 2-person-bicycle, jet ski, mini dirt bike (on rock or sand terrain bike), kayak and surfboards.
It's dangerous at this time to get into the sea becoz, unfortunately Tan was stung slightly on the hand by a jelly fish. Good thing it is a slight stung. We were glad that it was a light injury. After the stung, his hand became red o.O seems like jelly fishes' sting is not to be taken lightly, a leather amount of it's sting might cause death. So, remember kids, be careful when going into the sea during jelly fishes season and look for any signs which will indicate the danger levels of the sea. Pls do not go out into the sea if a red flag is hung, which means the sea is dangerous.
This is the last trip for today and eveyone is darn tired. Although the trip is exhausting, it is worth the sweat and time. At least I've gotten some experience thru this trip. THE END.
