Last monthly meeting at Sg Lepuk Falls was watermelon-ly tiring. lol..
Being late because of work, Soon and me started about two hours later than the rest. Carried two watermelons up with Soon, each of us took one and each watermelon weighed about 8kg!!
It was the most memorable training I had. Coz the watermelon was damn heavy to carry la. Plus it slowed down my usual trekking pace, especially when crawling over tree trunks. Not only the weight of the watermelon pulled me backwards, the watermelon was hard on my back too. This trek was quite similar to the demoralizing feeling from trekking Angsi. Summore we had to keep up with the time to reach the waterfall coz everyone was there already.
I like this photo. Very artistic.
We had to reach there before everyone leave the waterfall. So we kept pushing ourselves forward. No, we didn't run. Not with the watermelons on our backs. We trekked slowly one step at a time but restricted the resting time. It was so tiring until we didn't have the energy to take photo of us carrying the watermelon.
It was one and half hours later when we reached the waterfall and met the Raleigh people there. When we put down the bags containing the watermelon, we felt so light as if we can float in the air! It was one of my toughest training I had. But I was thrilled and satisfied with my stamina. =)
When I was at the waterfall, I just washed my hair, face and limbs with the ice-cold water to prevent the sweat bees from buzzing around my head and body. That place really had a lot of sweat bees. Kena stung by them once already, really scared of them.
Sweat bees feasting on the sweat
I didn't jump into the water that day. All I did was eating the macaroni and mashed potato cooked by Cristal. Hehe. I think I finished the whole mess tin of both. This was the most bloated trek I had. lol. Normally when I trek I will have to fill my stomach with chocolate bars but this time, trekking down from waterfall need no chocolate bars at all. Muahaha..
Talking about food, let's not forget the watermelons. This was the fate of the watermelons:
Slide down the waterfall. One of the watermelons was broken. lol..
Chill it in waterfall water
Got carried around
Then only can open to eat. lol.
Everyone had different ways to enjoy the waterfall:
Some jumped
Some glided
Some stood around having fun
The scenery there was nice too.
Kampung kids had fun at the river.
Quite a lot of dragonflies when trekking towards the waterfall.
