It was a planned trip since last year after we got back from Cameron Highlands. 7th March 2009, Clumsypanda together with colleagues and ex colleagues and friends and new friend (11 of us) went to Karak for a night stay. Karak is located in Pahang, just after genting highland and about 1 1/2 hours drive from PJ. We rented a bungalow at Kim Cheong Resources Estate and it was facilitate with swimming pool, barbecue, kitchen, snooker table, astro and etc.. We were allowed to do whatever we wanted to do there as long as we didn’t torned down the house. 
We started our journey after work on Saturday. Once we reached the place, we wind down ourselves, picked our room, make ourselves comfortable.. (I changed my jeans to short pants immediately 
) and some even jumped into swimming pool. Too bad I didn’t took much photo during this trip and.. regretted my action until now!! Haiz.. at least this was a sweet memory for me too right.. Anyway, few is better than nothing la.

A pool with plenty of healthy fat fish inside!! And it was situated inside the bungalow. So comfortable that I wish I bring my crayon and paper along with me. So that I can draw!!
As for dinner, we had barbecue party and pai seh!! We took a loooong time to light up the charcoal as we does not have the ignition. Few methods we use including drawing out petrol from the car, putting the charcoal on the cooking stove to heat it up, and even putting burning newspaper on the barbecue pit to try our luck. Wheeew!! What a hard work..!! although not done by me.. Haha.. cause I just sat there watching. Wonder how the “flinston” age lighted up fire using 2 stones or 2 sticks!! But, alas the fire was successfully lightened up, and it gone a little bit too big that we had to put down the fire a little. Or else we will be “barbecue-ing” under fire!! We had chicken wing, lamb, fish/meatball, sausages, prawn for barbecue and itelyou, i especially likes the lamb. Tasted real good. and the fish/meatball and sausages with extra extra cheese powder tasted superb!!! Other than that, we do have fried rice and fruit salads.
Trying hard to light up the barbecue pit!!
Relaxing after the barbecue!!

For the late night activities, we played cards (“21 point”).. and guess I was so lousy at playing cards. Rules of the game was whoever lost need to drink beer. Alright!!! And once the beer finished, we decided to played by using coke!! I tell you, I had phobia of coke until now. The night itself, I had drink plenty of coke!! Cry cry!!
Everyone.. meet Andrew. My new friend!!
OK!!! Not only that!! I even lost in arm wrestling with Kevin!! Ha ha..

Well, I didn’t sleep the whole night when I was there and was so damned tired not only the day after but for the whole week I was like zombie even when in office. Luckily I had recover now!! I can’t sleep as it was so damned cold and was wearing only short pants and T shirt, I does not had pillow, I does not have blanket.. and had only my pink colour jacket to cover myself. So, since I could not sleep, I lie at the sofa watching National Geographic till morning.

We left Karak around noon and headed to Bukit TInggi to have our lunch. The food there was nice but again no photo. Haiz.. It will never happen again in the future. I will make sure I will snap photo like crazy next time. We headed home after lunch!! It was a simple yet enjoyable trip.. Time for winding down after office stress..
-The End-
