Back to nature

It was quite a trip. This time I went to Sekeping Serendah for a night stay with my usual bunch of friends. Oscar was there too. During the journey to the place, we passes by a few orang asli villages. There are kids running up and down, old folks sitting by the front yard of their wooden house. It is actually kind of hard to believe there villages like this coz the nearest town Rawang is just a few minutes away. Anyway, we drove by the long winding and narrow road and finally reach the destination. The place was actually like a jungle. Once we got down, we actually could not find our place to stay. It was all covered up by the bushes and tall trees. There’s a small river stream too. A friend of mine then found the house as it was just a few meters away from us. We had booked 2 houses. They called it the glass shed. Why? It is because most of the material use to build is mainly just glasses and steel. It was nice house. There’s a place for BBQ, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were upstairs. There is no TV, no air condition and not even phone reception. Ahh… really back to nature.

After unloading all stuff, we head for the pool to refresh ourselves. It was all to ourselves as we are the only one in the whole escape. Oscar had a wonderful time in the pool as all the uncles and aunties are willingly to play with him. It was my 1st time swimming and relaxing myself in the thick forest. We could here birds chirping and bugs buzzing around. Later on we even played mahjong. At about 6.30pm, we ended our game and head back to our house. My friends have started to burn the charcoal. We’re having BBQ for dinner. I quickly went to have a bath to help out. Oh ya.. the bathrooms were open concept. No roof at all. You lift up your head and you’ll see all trees and the sky above. My 1st time taking a bath and doing my “business” in a situation like this. Lets just hope there isn’t any spy cams… hahaha..

Throughout the night we enjoy the BBQ. We got lamb, chicken, fishes, cuttlefish etc etc. Drank beers and chatted the whole night. Then it rains but we continued to savour our food. As it was getting dark, all insects seem to be alive. Since it was raining, the insects came into our place for a shed. Mosquitoes were everywhere. Haha. The noises they make is quite amusing. Hee hee. We later on called it a night and hit the beds. The beds comes with the mosquitoes nets, so no worries.

Next day, woke up at 7++. Prepare breakfast while enjoying the nature. Then we went for a dip again in the pool and played mahjong again. Nothing much can be done there actually but to enjoy the nature. Checked out and went home. A trip to be remembered.
