Sungai Lembing - Final Year Research

We went to Sungai Lembing, Pahang and it is surely a trip to remember. we went there to collect samples for our final year research. i did mention in my earlier post that we were going to sg lembing to collect some wild pandans.hehe. we did, we brought back 40kgs of pandan, 1 kg of pandan fruit, and that is equivalent to 7 guni bags! there were only 5 pairs of hands. and each one weighs around approximately 6 kgs? hahahaha..but it was all so good!

we didnt get to take pics because we were always on the move, and it was pretty difficult to find the fruit.so, with a camera in one hand, and the other holding a parang to 'tebas' all that was in the way..difficult.so,not so many pics. we did come across interesting 'things' such as, 'ular lidi', spiders [big2 ones], flowers and fruits, and.. a breathtaking waterfall! the waterfall, was a reward after long hours of searching for pandan fruits. the water was really clean and fresh and, smells good too!! we couldnt get a pic of the waterfall, because it was so beautiful. And unless we go right to the middle of the 6-meters-deep pool, we cant have it here in the blog. hehehe.beautiful, breathtaking, and Subhanallah. owh and how we realized that we didnt actually need drinking water because, the water was clean ,cool and fresh enuff that we can just drink it right from the stream. hahaha. fresh mineral water.

everything turned out really good and satisfying, until our lecturer cut himself with a parang while trying to get pandan. [salah cara penggunaan parang] it was a big cut, and obviously, lots and lots of blood.luckily the ranger brought a first-aid kit with him. so he helped prof with his hand. hurmm.. when we got back to where we start-off, we realized that the leeches have been feeding up on our blood. eww. they were not there when we cleaned ourselves up, but we were all bleeding non-stop.we headed back to Pekan Sg. Lembing at 5 i guess, and reached the small town around 6 something. the 4WD challenge to get out of the hutan back to pekan sg lembing was so bad.. [seb baik x muntah] it was only 13km. bumpy and goyang sana, goyang sini! stressful!

well, as usual.. here are some pics that we managed to capture during our one-day trip to sg. lembing.
