The Arrival
There are absolutely too much to blog about. But nonetheless, I will blog as much as I can.
We took off from PJ Old Town at 4.40am and had a safe journey to Simpang Pulai and we reached there at 7.30am. As usual, I love driving in the dark!! And Sasa accompanied me throughout the whole journey. Adrian and Tracy snoozed at the back. Jason, Sam and Jerald were in Dr.Yee’s car. And Jassney in Able’s car.
On our journey there.....so comfortable until all slept soundly...
well....sometimes.... you have to over take some slow lorries....
Tracy : Hoi!! Don't shoot my sleepy face lah!!
Yoh!! I am awake!! LOL!!
Adrian : What the heck!! Who farted wei!! :O Must be Tracy....ah!!!
We reached Tapah Rest Area at around 6.48am, and drove for another 48km to Simpang Pulai. There we had our breakfast and waited for the pastor to arrive. We met the pastor at around 8.30am and headed for the first kampung for the toilet project. Well…. This is when our day begins.

The Toilet Business
We prepared the building site and checked out the surrounding area of out building ground. After that, we went to the hardware shop to buy some gears and got started on our project.
Adrian, me, Jerald and Sam were given the task of ripping a 200kg even zinc roof off the collapsing toilet. Sledge hammer and axe became our play toys!!
The ripping process had begun
We became human jacks to jack up the whole roof and remove the nails

Night Fright Trip
After a long day....we decided to leave for dinner nearby the TESCO Extra. We had oysters, tofu bakar, chicken chop, lamb chop, fish n chips, laksa, prawn mee, satay, whatever and anything. All at an awesome low price!! LOL. We had a great dinner, and off to one of Dixon's insaine outing plans....
We reached back at 9pm, got ready, bath.... and....the girls do take a long time in the bath!! And I kinda planned for us to enter the jungle at 1am... We got into two cars, Able and me drove to Simpang Pulai jungle and had camp fire at the waterfall. Before that, we had a dip in the hot water springs!! Awesome!!
The trip into the jungle was kinda unexpected for Sasa and the rest of the first timers, but I guess, they just got used to it and had alot of fun. Me and JJ lead the jungle tour. We heard voices of people talking... well, just recon that those were the jungle spirits by our sides, in malay, penunggu....only me and JJ heard...and only we know... definately not human voices...but inner voices, spritual voices. If those went to Kg.Jus in Melaka...you will understand..... NOT AFRAID!! We prayed!! Too bad....:P
