Sungai Chongkak waterfall trip


It was Sunday morning, the day we've all planned to go picnic at Sungai Chongkak. We all agreed to meet up somewhere along the Federal Highway, near Mercedes Benz showroom, at 9.
a.m. Unfortnately, only Me, Raymond, and Jane were there. And the rest, well.......biasa lah, Malaysian time. We waited about an hour for them( this time i wont mention their names ).

Soon after that, our journey began. I was so so hungry, as i didn't munch anything for breakfast. Because, i was expecting a breakfast stop before the journey. Luckily, i survived and could still drive, and reached our destination. It only took us like an
 hour from our meeting place to Sungai Chongkak. We took the Cheras highway. Just go straight on the highway, until you pass 2 plaza tol, then keep on your left.  You will see a signboard saying, Pekan Ulu Langat. Just follow the signs. Very easy. It was our 1st time too. 

As soon as we reached there, Andi had already booked 2 chalets. Andi and the gang, were already there earlier. So, we went up to our chalets and put our stuffs in. Soon after that, everyone was rushing to the nearest stall (kedai kak Yati)to grab something to eat. We had maggie kari which cost RM 2.50, burgers, some nasi lemaks. Our breakfast cost about RM36.40. That was ridiculously expensive. Well, what the heck...

After everyone was filled with satisfaction over hunger, we went back to our shelters. Here's where the main event started - get wasted. It was only 12.00 noon, and we were already drinking Vodkas. Thats why they say Sarawakians and Sabahans can really drink! We were already tipsy before 2pm. That was the time where the outdoor activities started. 

We went down to the river. The water was soaking damn cold ! Luckily, our body heating system went very well. Thanks to the Vodkas. We swam, we slides down the currents through rocks, we posed for photos ( most of them were hilariously stupid ).... we tried our best enjoying the nature. I wonder why human get so happy and exited over water? hmmmm.... thought of the day.

The best thing that happened was, we met with some Ibans and Bidayuhs there. They greeted us after noticing our tattoos. Then they served us foods and even self-made "tuak"( its a Sarawak local rice wine). They were so kind, and we felt home. We even brought some of our foods and supplies to share with them. That's what its all about- sharing is caring. 

After that, we invited them to our chalet and joined us. Only some of them did. The rest were already drunk. We set-up our BBQ pit, and fire and bbq-ing. Soon after that, more friends came. Lawrence, Gerl, Faizal, Nixon and his girlfriend. They brought more supplies for the night. Beers and some chicken wings. That night was really fun. Good foods, great booze, and a wonderful company. And the fun just keep on going,and going,and going, till someone slept outside the toilet. 

The next morning, we checked out before noon, and straight for breakfast somewhere at Kajang. I had a really nice Sio Bak rice. It was great!! 

Well, looking forward for another trip and adventures and more fun..... Its all good!!! Peace.
