Trip (9/6/08)

Dear members,

Those who saw the photos of our Chilling Waterfalls trip (end of Jun08) projected at our meeting on 22nd July must be wondering why so many of our men strutting their muscles , everyone smiling happily for the camera etc. haha. Let me explain... Money Mastery-KL TMc had our inagrual eco-trip to Chilling Waterfalls in Kuala Kubu Baru 29th June 2008. It was fun (MK will upload the pictures onto our blog soon. those who brought cameras and had interesting pictures different from MK pls also upload).

Siew Yin was our able and industrious organiser making sure everyone were taken care of, kudos.

Slight drizzle didn't dampen our spirits. The trail was laden with many things natural...monkey cups (this small plant species grew from ground up), butterflies, mushrooms, parasit plants, beautiful unidentified plants and insects etc. We even saw a green stick insect on a leaf.

Lots of oxygen and 5 river crossings and a short walk later, we were greeted by a huge waterfall. A sight to behold. We put down our things and jumped into the pool for a good dip. Some of us swam and still others got a good massage from the strong flow of water.

Then, we makan our packed lunch and we even got to enjoy a cup of hot coffee/tea etc.The beautiful environment sure worked up my appetite.

We were blessed, really. Not only did it not rain/pour cats and dogs (it was a really cloudy day), we all got to the waterfall (all of us) and we made it out and not a drop of rain. Just awesome. Then, we proceeded to hot springs nearby to freshen up. The water was bloody hot, scalding hot.

Dinner was delicious at Ulu Yam, famous for coconut prawns and 'loh mee'.

The day ended too early (at 8ish pm!). Thank you, members and some imported people from MIA for making our trip memorable.

So, game for our next trip? Where to, guys? Let's vote on the following (you can email in suggestions):

1. Rainbow Waterfalls in Sg Lembing, Pahang

2. White water rafting and eco activities in Gopeng, Perak

cheers,
