Awsome but Tiresome trip

on Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Hope the tittle explains... anyway.. i can elaborate more on my journey last saturday.. well i went to a place called "Dublin Estate" (not in Ireland or europe).. ive no idea why they call it dublin. We start our journey on Saturday at 6.30pm.. Went with my friends on a 4WD.. Straight to the state of kedah (kulim)... From Kulim hi-tech park its roughly around 1 to 2 hours journey.. The weather was very breezy and cool.. cause its started to rain.. not so heavy... but non-stop rain.. the estate became extremely muddy and slippery.. It was not as i expected... the rain... ouch is the painfull factor.. since the temple that i went is very small.. it could not factor in the amount of people who joined us.. worst to come.. no electricity.. no houses... no water.. its purely in a thick jungle like palm estate..

Thats not the end of the worst.. there is one more in the form of blood sucking tiny beasts call "Mr.leeches"... ive been sucked out of my blood nearly 8 times.. :(.. not sure should i say this is a great experience.. or should i say this is the lifestyle of the place.. i dont know... ive start with an awsome feeling but ended up terrified.. not as i expected.... But things begun to change as the morning arrives.. as i could see clearly what i couldnt at night.. the environment.. and things like that.. After a very tiring, non sleeping, leechy encountering day.... the morning seems show diffrent side.. no leeches.. (well less i could see) and the sun was bright and nice.. The best part of this trip i must say is taking the morning bath in the river.. crystal clear pure mountain water river.. wow.. the coolness the chill.. the feeling really magnetized me from going away from the place... it was very nice feeling... :)

We had our lunch and pack up around 3pm.. on the way out from the estate we managed to visit few other temples as well.. one wonderfull goosebump information that i noted is all these temples was build not few months not few years.. they were build during the reign of british empire in malaysia 5o years back... thats intresting.. the local community and visiters do manage the place well.. of couse the plantation workers too... So... its an awsome and tiresome trip alas...
Something that i couldnt forget... a rare occurance in my life.. well  wonderfull it is.. Wish to have this sorts of trip more in my journey..  Even though at a time i feel dirtier due to no proper sanitary options.. i wonder myself.. how a native of that place would survive.. how they would live.. Im educated.. the peoples staying there since birth how they know outside worlds identity..

Intresting fact..

Well thats all of now.. signing off from my Unforgetfull journey.. till next blogey.. 
chiow.. :)
