Gunung Angsi surprised us

Went to Angsi again last Sunday.

The trek was difficult and tiring as usual. Half way up I was having stomach cramp.


Luckily the pain was just for a while. We managed to reach the peak at noon (we took 3 hours to reach the top).

So we happily started to cook lunch.


Soon brought the whole market up. We had 100 plus one person each, ice candy in thermos to keep cold, lollipops, carbonara macaroni, mushroom soup, Cloud 9, Cadbury.


Mushroom soup


Macaroni carbonara (In the end we made a conclusion that this thing is out of the meal list for future treks coz it takes forever to cook the pasta)

At some point when we were cooking it drizzled a bit that we had to cover the food with raincoats to continue cooking.


To speed up the cooking process, we decided to build one more fire source. The 'gas stove' cook mushroom, the firewood cook the pasta.


Three kids play with fire. Hehe.


From the photo it seems that the girls cook and the guys build fire. I have no idea why I fall into the guy category. lol.


In the end we successfully get the fire and managed to heat up the macaroni.

Yea you read it right, we only managed to heat up the paste, not cook it. Coz the dark cloud flew towards us and brought us unwanted visitor - heavy rain.




We had to eat in a circle with a raincoat on our heads to cover the food we were eating. Seriously very kelam kabut.

Thanks to the rain all of us have no appetite already. We just gobbled down the food and pack everything and took our group photo before we left the peak.


Sad faces

To compare the difference, I feel like putting the photos before and after the rain

Guys you can skip this part:
I wasn't looking good coz I was having menstrual visit and the rain spiced it up. All I wanted was to get to the washroom as soon as possible. Despite the uneasiness from worrying about the menstrual stuff the raining experience was a special one. It felt different trekking in the rain, what's more with erhem.. menstrual visit. Kaka.

During this trek we got to see and eat quite a lot of fruits. lol..

First when the trek just started, we saw nangka.

Trying to sniff and see whether it has nangka aroma. But it didn't have the aroma. Maybe it's still not ripe yet.

Then when trekking back after the rain, I smelled something like mango. As a mango-lover, I had to stop and look around for the source of the aroma. It was some round yellowish fruits lying on the trail. It has hard thin skin like those of luo han guo but with very strong mango aroma inside. (Sorry la.. It rained. So I duwan to wet my handphone to take the photo of the fruit. Hehe.. ) The fruit that I saw was already opened and eaten. So I just took up and sniff only. Hehe.

In the end when we reached the carpark, there's a Malay uncle who brought his family to picnic at the waterfall there offered us his rambutans, claiming that he's leaving and his Ford had not enough place to put the fruit already. We gratefully thanked him for the fruits feeling very lucky already.

After a while he came back from his car with another bag of mangosteen and duku. We were astonished already. But he went back to the car, think a while, and came back to us with 2 durians! I was so shockingly astonished and touched. lol. Maybe he saw us all soaking wet with raincoats and all, pity us gua. lol.


These are all from the uncle

Since we had no knife, I used the swiss knife to cut the durian. It's my first time using swiss knife to cut durian. lol. Such a good experience. And gosh! The durians were superb!

After the trek we had heavy dinner at USJ. Me and Maggie ate 2 bowls of rice and Soon ate 3 bowls. o.O We were too hungry already. Didn't eat enough during lunch. lol.


I keep this entry short coz I'm really tired and I really need to sleep already. lol. Sorry folks!
