Honsuka Campsite

I attended the Eagle Link-Rover Crew-Court of Honor meeting of the Eagle Scout Group.
The campsite was somewhere along hulu langat. at some turn off in some kampung area. The place was so secluded that there was no one from the public there, even on a sunday. But of course the road there was like...a kampung road. I pity nanda he drove his lowered fully modified naturally aspired car through the pot holes. The road was so bad that his car wheels got stuck in the holes and the chasis was on the road. It was like on first gear, then a scraping sound.. then stop..then first gear again..deeper scraping sound. There was once I had to get out of the car and push the car out of the hole. Besides the chasis wreck, the branches along the way scratched his car and the other. When we reached there, he took out his ciggs and dragged as if his life depended on it..

We took about a 30 minutes hike inside the jungle trying to locate the waterfall, but it was no where near as we couldnt hear it after 30 minutes, so we decided to takea dip

It was so refreshing to get out of the city and head back to nature. Got a leech in my sock for about an hour or two. Didnt know it was inside eventhought i felt it.. I though it was some insect, so i wiggled my toes to kill it, then it stopped. But when i headed back to the river for a second dip, there it was all fat like and full. My socks was full of blood and the fat leech was still on me. So i pulled it off with a leaf and stepped it to death. =)

Eventhough i had like 5 hours of sleep the previous night, the jungle is sure refreshing and it managed to keep me awake and enthusiastic the entire time.
