inferiority complex thy suffer…

I could not help it. My mind impulsively broke into this P Ramlee song whenever i heard the word Lepok mentioned.

" ~lalalalalalaa…( ting ting ting) Pok, Pok, Pok,Poook~, Bujanglah  Lepok, Ada mancis tak ada rokok …"( grainy pictures of P.ramlee, Ibrahim Din and A.R Tompel doing the hikky dance playing in mind )

So whats with me and the Lepok thingy? Its Lepok, Lepok the waterfall.Lata lepok in Ulu langat.

Just one of our series of trekking ventures after conquering Bukit Tabur and Sungai Chilling. Mr Tan would not come so Kourosh lead the way with an Ipod in hand.Blessed with great weather,we made our way to the top of the waterfall in approximately 2 hours.Thinking that we might have to cross rivers, i opted to wear sandals instead as opposed to sport shoes. I left them at home anyway, so i havent got much choice, have i?

Personally, this trek is more slippery, with red earth and muds suggesting an infestion of leeches.Its amazing , wearing sandals and all that i’m not even bitten by one.Joyce articulated that my blood type must be a B.

"Leeches hate B blood types"- reasoned Joyce in a supposedly serious tone. Theres still much to be backed up with a more scientific explanation.

Upon reaching our destination, our excitement was somewhat marred by another big group of trekkers already settling down and crowding the place.Aiseyman, i want the whole place by myself!

Suddenly, in the background came shouts " Aohohoohaaah!!!!!"

Oh,dont you mind that Mr Varga, thats just kouroush sliding on the waterfall, the crashing water as the slide.Thats his third time by the way.

Its a lata. Not a full fledged waterfall, where the water falls at a right angle ( 90 degrees ). The water flows at a 45 degree angle thus we could afford to act like we’re in Sunway Lagoon.

The highlight of the trek must be running down with Nisita, Dennis, Kourush and Amir on the way back. I have my own reasons, its already 4 o’clock, and i havent performed my Zohor yet.That puts running into perspective.Along the way, i went " ouch, ouch, ouch " because of newly formed blister under both side of my feet.Dont ask how did i get them. Hint : Sandals

Driving home, it was all to be expected that we’re going to stuck in a jam at Federal Highway.My watch reads 5.30 p.m and its raining heavily. After a KFC dinner with Jay, Joyce and Dennis,i was finally back home safe and sound.

Read Mr Varga’s account of the lepok waterfall experience

P/sThe writer refused to tell the story where their car, THE ONLY CAR, got lost  on the way while others were blissfully eating nasi lemak due to potential embarassment
