Lambir H3

Today is a day where i go and hike hike hike. You can say i went hiking but i like hike hike hike better. Since it can be shorten to h3, then it can stay that way and now you know what h3 means. Well the first two sentences did not have h3 so i guess you didn't have to know but now you know. Doesn't really matter now does it? Haha... h3 is just a fun activity to do with friends! :D

Woke up at 6 am in the morning and got a call from Ben. He is one of the friends that i mentioned above. So now you know one of my friends. To ease your pain of how many friends were involved, i should just say 5 would be the number you are looking for. So you see, altogether 6 people were h3 in the forest of somewhere. That somewhere would be later revealed when i want it to be! Haha... Blogger's right to make it silent as long as it wants. Going back to the main topic, Ben called and told me that we won't be having breakfast at Mosjaya but in his house and asked me if i would want to join them. Knowing me, of course i said yes and will be there in like an instant. You know i love food and any offer would be appealing! Haha... Hey, gotta appreciate good food!

So prepared my stuff which is a change of clothes, towel, water bottle and personal things. Headed to Ben's house at before seven. Reached there and called for Ben to let me in to his house. Before going into the house, his dog like bit me and it ain't soft. You know, not playing and stuff but really biting and chewing my leg off? Yeah, my pants busted two holes from it and i was like, no kidding ah your dog! Really love me that much? Go away! I still want my pants! Everyone was like laughing. Surprised? Maybe but mostly laughing away! Haha... What to do? What's done is done~ So after entering the house, met Ernest. Boyfriend to Ben's sis, Rachel. Nice guy he is. He just got up from sleep and was kind of sleepy but we greeted properly. Was eating breakfast and yeah, i joined! Hehe... Ben was eating too. Couldn't let those two eat all right?

So yeah, ate stuff that was on the table. Mind you, it was all good and there was moon cake! Delicious! Made by mom herself which is Aunty Regina! I like the coconut moon cake. Cannot explain the taste. It is just too wonderful to describe! Haha... Then Rachel came down and we greeted each other good morning and was like asking, not eating? I told her that i was but had to wait until my stomach growled first. Soon everyone was laughing. What i say? Haha... Soon Leon came down. Leon is Ben's twin brother. Not long after came April. That's Ben's youngest sister. So now you know the friends yes? Good. No need to much explanation later right? Haha... So everyone got ready and we checked our stuff like food and water. Everything was good to go.

Off to Lambir! That's our destination. Ben drove one car while i drove my own car. In Ben's car was himself, April, Rachel and Ernest. While on the other was me and Leon. The time that we disembark was about half pass seven? Not very sure of the time but yeah it was about that time. We were on our way to Lambir National Park. We arrived shortly. Why shortly you might ask? Well, cause the drive was only like 20 minutes? Close wasn't it? So yes, SHORTLY! Haha... While in the car, spoke to Leon about things and life. Funny how we talk all about random stuff. Then suddenly we were like singing with the radio. That is like so suspected right? Haha... Guess just to make the trip not so boring, i crap. Haha... Well asking stuff is fun too! :D Details, well not going to be put in cause well, ain't something interesting to share. =P What's in the car, stays in the car. Right? Good! :D

As i was saying, Lambir got hit within 20 minutes. Then everyone had to go to the toilet. Weird? It is like, i want go toilet. Me too! Me too! Me too! Haha... Can't blame, cause i think everyone did not go to the toilet before the drive. Fun! After that trip of toiletness, we went to register ourselves. Yes, we need to register and it cost 10 for an adult and 5 for student. I thought i was student so it should be 5 for me too right? The rule there is, if you are over 17, you are an adult. No complain. So yeah, 5 adults and a student. I thought we could save. Stupid student card! You are suppose to work! Little piece of crap! Haha... Then we took our stuff and started our h3. I brought along a water bottle and towel and insect repellent. Then started the h3 with a flight of stairs. Suddenly stairs became all rooty~ Well i guess the trees got nice roots for us to grip and h3! Haha... There was a sign before the hike. It was like stating hiking without registering yourself is an offense. So i guess those tickets were of some use. Haha...

H3 was fun. Had a lot of sweat too. So much sweat that it actually looked like i took a shower. That's what my friends said. It was a fairly nice hike to the pit stop of a shack. Rested for awhile while joking about. Silly little movement and silly little sentences brought laughter all around. Then we went on for about 340 meters to a waterfall. It is a small one. Thought of going swimming but looking at the water just turned us off. In the end, we were like feeding the fishes and shrimps. We threw bread and they were like animals fighting for that little piece of bread. In an instant, the piece of bread was gone. We were like so amazed that we kept throwing bread while eating. Guess the fishes were hungry and knew how to make people throw bread for them to eat. It is just so fast. We threw there, they went there. We threw here, they went here. Bet if you put in your finger, they will be nibbling your finger. That is just what Rachel did and she got nibbled! Haha... Ernest did it too and so did April. Results? Same! :D

Since we all decided not to swim, we continued to h3 all the way to this oil well. It was very interesting and plus it was the nearest of the other locations of waterfall in Lambir. So we h3 and we saw the sign that says, 800 meters to oil well. Aren't we the happy hikers? So we thought. H3 to the oil well. Then we suddenly came to a sign where it says, veteran. We were like huh? So we just continued and went on. The path was well just as the sign said, you have to be veteran to be hiking this trail. So we took some time. Then came to this sign where it says, 400 meters to oil well. My, what a rip off! Why? Well, we walked like 1km probably before reaching the destination but at the end was like just to see a mud pool with some oil? Well there were oil drilling equipment but it was covered with moss and we all missed it if Ernest didn't point at it. How did we know we were there at the oil well? Well there was a sign pointing there and saying oil well. Rachel and Leon was like where the heck is the oil well? Well, definitely don't go that trail unless you want to be disappointed or you just want a good workout. =D

Then we headed back to where we started. The h3 back was a bit tiring to all of us. So we took lots of breaks in between cause we aren't superhuman right? So went back to the shack and rested for quite awhile and my clothes, dripping mercilessly. My, was my t-shirt soaked. I basically just squeezed a little and water came like i opened a tap. Haha... After the rest at the shack, we h3 again but this time, it was running downhill. We couldn't stop cause i guess momentum was a reason to be blame but as well we wanted to go back to the park as quickly. So running the hill, i got leg cramp! Haha... The best time to have a little leg cramp. That slowed me down a little and Leon and April was like already out of sight. So didn't bother the pain and just run along. Reached the end soon after. Leon was resting himself already. That was fast. I mean, if it wasn't for the leg cramp, i will be first! Haha... Well, we all had fun. That's the point right? Hehe...

Then we went back to the car and ate hairy fruits. Rambutans! Then everyone went to take a shower. The water? Freezing cold and i shouted the most. Haha... IT WAS FREEZING COLD! No kidding. I just went in and out. Done. Shower finish. Change. Meet everyone back at car. It was that cold. The time we reached the car was 12 exactly! We were inside jungle for 4 hours. Lots of sweat. Then we went to Krokop 5 for chendol. That was lunch. We talked and laughed there for i don't know how long but when i reached home, it was 3. So here i am typing what i just did in the morning. Haha... Want to come next time? Hehe...
